Is it a forgery that elementary school must memorize "Silent Night Thoughts"?
The post-95 Peking University sister decided to find the truth of her childhood.
Daughter of the Sea is not the story of the Little Mermaid's pursuit of love at all? How shocking is the real finale of "Sheriff Black Cat"? Elementary school must memorize "Silent Night Thoughts" turned out to be a "fake"? Is the Monopoly game actually a game of the century?
Seeing such a ** title, many people can't help but be curious. After all, who hasn't watched animation in their childhood, and who hasn't memorized Tang poems in elementary school? If this ** is reasonable, logical and clear, coupled with vivid hand-drawn animation, it will be even more unstoppable.
Douyin creator @二二sour acid, a post-95 girl who likes to draw curiosity and knowledge into **, has entered the field of vision of many people in this way.
Sour and her room full of books.
She is good at revealing the "truth of childhood", and also likes to "find faults" in the classics. Her creations, starting from pure curiosity, have reached the depths of knowledge, and now, they are also moving towards a broader world of popular science.
Retrieving the "Truth of Childhood".
When dubbing the ** "Misread "Daughter of the Sea", I cried sour several times.
She was moved by the deep meaning of the text that transcends time and space, and she is glad that this story can be re-understood in the new era.
Like many of my peers, the first time I read this fairy tale by Hans Christian Andersen was in a primary school Chinese textbook. It was actually an excerpt from the original book, and the "ending" made a very deep impression on her: "She glanced at the prince affectionately again, and then jumped into the sea ......."She felt her body melt into foam little by little. ”
As a child, this ending made her feel that this was a story of a mermaid who failed to pursue love. It wasn't until she happened to see the full text of the original version that she found that behind the story excerpt from the textbook, there was an ending of more than 500 words. And this completely subverted her perception of this "love fairy tale".
She flipped through several versions of the original translation, using the Chinese version directly translated from the original Danish by the late translator Yip Junjian in 1990, and using the corresponding English version as a reference, discovering more little-known details.
Sour interprets the real finale of "Daughter of the Sea" on Douyin.
In the original text, the Little Mermaid's yearning for land is not due to her love for the prince, but because of her curiosity about the human world, "Humans can sail on the sea, they can climb the towering mountains, and their land stretches out with forests and fields, and they can't see it all." ”
And what finally made the Little Mermaid decide to go to land was her grandmother's words: human beings will die, but human beings have souls, immortal souls. And the death of the mermaid, like a bubble on the water, is fleeting, and nothing can be left.
At this point, we know the full motives of all the actions that the Little Mermaid chooses after that: not to pursue the love of the prince, but to obtain eternal existence.
And at the true end of the story, the Little Mermaid did not die as a bubble for love, but became the daughter of the sky, because instead of stabbing a sharp knife into the prince's heart, she was willing to bear the consequences of disillusionment for her choice. "You've endured pain, you've persevered, you've ascended into the world of elves. Through your own efforts, after three hundred years, you will create an immortal soul for yourself. ”
This is the most shocking part of the whole story, "because it means that in Andersen's eyes, the Little Mermaid no longer needs to rely on external forces to obtain eternal existence; It means that women do not need to rely on love, but also can open up their own vast world. ”
She spent 20 days writing a 2,842-word script, interpreting the details and ending of the original book, and with an animated handbook, she produced a nearly 8-minute **, telling everyone that "Daughter of the Sea" is actually about the ultimate exploration of soul and life.
An animated handbook drawn by Sour for the interpretation of "The Daughter of the Sea".
This ** has been liked more than 1.6 million times on Douyin, with nearly 180,000 comments. And the "truth", which is completely different from childhood cognition, has also touched countless netizens - "The pattern is open, the ending is sublimated, it's too shocking", "This is actually about life, about the awakening of women's consciousness".
The sour interpretation made many netizens shout "shocked".
Some netizens discussed the difference between the original version of the fairy tale and the adapted version in the comment area, "The original version of Grimm's fairy tale is not the feeling of a fairy tale, violent and bloody", this message was liked 140,000 times, and it also attracted sour attention, "Why don't you check whether the original version of "Grimm's Fairy Tales" is really dark? ”
25 days later, she updated a popular science article about "Grimm's Fairy Tales", comprehensively examining the content and style of the first edition of "Grimm's Fairy Tales", as well as the bans, dissemination and rewriting of "Grimm's Fairy Tales" in history.
Whether Grimm's Fairy Tales is a dark fairy tale or not has aroused the interest of many people.
Similar misreadings and even deliberately rewritten, but leaving a deep impression on the memory of a generation, not only fairy tales, but also traditional Chinese literary works, such as the Chinese children's Tang poem "Silent Night Thoughts".
In fact, the version we have memorized from childhood to adulthood is a "fake" by later generations, "Looking at the moonlight before the bed, it is suspected that it is frost on the ground." Looking up at the mountains and the moon, bowing your head and thinking of your hometown" is the original poem of Li Bai that has been proven to be the most credible, which is also the original Song version of "Silent Night Thoughts" in the "Li Taibai Anthology" now in the National Library of China.
There is only a two-word difference between the original version of "Silent Night Thoughts" and the popular version today, but the artistic conception is very different.
From "Daughter of the Sea" to "Silent Night Thoughts", these are full of "reversals" and "accidents", and they are rigorous, logical, and vivid, making Sour a treasure blogger for many people.
Draw curiosity and knowledge as **".
But for Sour, it's not so easy to create a **.
An 8-10 minute **, copywriting is about 3,000 words, she needs to spend 7-10 days to create, plus animation, editing, dubbing, it takes at least 20 days to officially complete. Among them, the most time-consuming link is the retrieval and research of data.
Sour sketches of storyboards drawn for the animation.
In order to interpret whether the original "Grimm's Fairy Tales" is "dark" from the most comprehensive and reliable perspective, she read a series of materials such as the English translation of the original "Grimm's Fairy Tales" in 1812 from Professor Jack Zipes, the ** collection of Harvard University folklore scholar Maria Tatar, and the project documents related to the National Humanities **.
In order to find out the circulation context and reasons for the "forgery" of "Silent Night Thoughts", she collected different versions of "Three Hundred Tang Poems" in the past 50 years, as well as "Selected Poems of Li Bai" and "Li Taibai's Anthology", etc., and also referred to the research of many scholars**.
Because she was curious about whether "Sheriff Black Cat" had an ending, she continued to collect all kinds of information, texts and albums about the original work of "Sheriff Black Cat" in the last century for half a year, including even many unheard of pirated and strange versions.
The process of researching evidence is tedious and sometimes even long, but for Sour, the satisfaction outweighs the exhaustion. Since the official production and release of the first article, she has put forward two requirements for herself: first, all citations and arguments should be expressed in as much detail as possible; The second is that the content shared can be traced back to the source, and the audience should be able to find more knowledge they want to acquire according to **.
Before writing a copy, Sour needs to do a lot of data collection and research.
Compared with the evidence, what makes me more sour and sour is actually writing copywriting.
It is not difficult for her to summarize her own logic in difficult and obscure academic expressions and "translate" them into easy-to-understand language. "What is boring is the expression of the theory, not the theory of expression, so the ** copywriting is actually the opposite of the academic expression, once you understand this logic, the expression is less likely to form a problem. ”
However, copywriting is not just about writing a small essay with reasonable evidence, how to write at the beginning will arouse the audience's interest, at which point in time to throw out a conclusion or opinion, what kind of rhythm is more comfortable, and how to combine it with the picture, all need to be pondered repeatedly. "The beginning and end are the hardest to write, just like writing an essay while reading a book. ”
Even so, she still polishes her work again and again, so we can see such a "highlight" statement:
This bright moon, in the past 1,300 years, has illuminated everyone's hometown equally. "Many times, when the story is not finished, it may be when it is most attractive, and it seems better to let it remain in the distant memory than to reveal the whole story. I still want to pay tribute to these people who stick to the fringes of history with small efforts, because it is they who are struggling to find the truth in the broken history. ”
In **, Sour also paired these moving moments, as well as the stories that have been told, reread, and even continued, with hand-drawn animations.
A**, there are up to hundreds of drawings**.
In the ** looking for the finale of "Sheriff Black Cat", she even discovered the story "Strange Poisoning Case", which is most likely to be adapted into the sixth episode of the anime, based on the information, and reproduced the original handwritten painting of this story, which surprised fans.
Based on the information collected, Sour drew an episode of the "Black Cat Sheriff" animation by himself.
The starting point of making ** is actually to like to draw.
When she was in elementary school, she began to go to art interest classes, and the teacher who taught her to paint at that time was a textile factory master who changed careers, and did not teach her how to draw sketches, but first let her learn to paint peonies. Later, when she went to college, she bought herself a hand-drawn tablet as soon as she earned her first money, and resumed her hobby that had been interrupted by the college entrance examination.
Sour has always felt that she is not very professional in painting, but doing ** has made her understand one thing - doing content creation does not necessarily have to be very professional in a certain field, sometimes it is a combination of the creator's personal skills.
Since childhood, I have been interested in reading and drawing, and the information retrieval and text writing skills cultivated by academic training, coupled with the editing, dubbing, post-production, and network sense I have learned one by one in creative practice.
What kind of content, what kind of audience to attract".
On Douyin, Sour divides her works into three categories: the Classic Rereading Series, the Childhood Truth Series, and the Science Learning Series.
Once, Sour did an issue of "abridged" content of a Chinese textbook, which caused a very strong discussion among fans. She realized that everyone was interested in reacquainting themselves with what they had learned before. And when she began to seriously reread the textbook, she found more topics with room for interpretation, so she later reread "Silent Night Thoughts" and "The Daughter of the Sea" and other highly discussed works, and also extended more "childhood truths".
In the comment area of these **, fans never hesitated to praise her, "Knowledge elegantly entered my mind", "*I didn't feel tired of all the second brushes", "I want to watch it when I brush it, and I want to work hard to make more works." ”
The high-quality ** has attracted a lot of Douyin fans.
In contrast, the "scientific learning method", as a practical dry product to share with younger students, brings more frank sharing and dialogue.
Many people shared their experiences and confusions under the sour **, and also received encouragement and advice.
This series of content not only comes from the profound experience of sour daily learning, but also from the strong demand of fans. In 2020, Sour was admitted to Peking University as a graduate student after working for more than a year, and is a representative of "Xueba" in the eyes of many fans.
In 2023, he graduated from Peking University with a master's degree.
After studying all kinds of learning methods on the market, Sour found that they are more biased towards subjective experience, and there are not many that are truly objective or scientific. So, she decided to start from brain science and psychology to do real science popularization.
How can ordinary people rewrite their own destiny through college? How to quickly recover concentration at the beginning of school? How to improve your memory ...... before the test in 3 daysIn these **, acid will not only scientifically analyze the problem, but also give a solution to the problem. In order to cite the most cutting-edge research results, she also specially invited a doctoral brother in a related major to be her "academic advisor".
A series of scientific learning methods in Sour Sour**.
Sour found that in Douyin, what kind of content there is, what kind of audience will be attracted, "What I do is knowledge popularization, and fans are also curious; I tend to talk on an equal footing, and the atmosphere in the comments section will be more sincere and friendly. ”
In the comment area, everyone often extends from the topic of ** to a larger discussion space, for example, the matching degree of Monopoly's original "prosperity" mode with competitive games; Whether it is reasonable for "Silent Night Thoughts" not to use the original ......Some people will spontaneously become "class representatives" and summarize the materials she cites for interested students to find and read; There are also people who will take the initiative to ask her to talk about what topics they want her to talk about, and if they see interesting or valuable, they will take screenshots and save them in the topic selection database.
Douyin fans summarized the ** cited references in the comment area.
This kind of interaction and feedback also gives Sour more creative motivation. She wants to make richer and more refreshing content, for example, to update the guide to scientific learning methods more efficiently and systematically, and to provide more knowledge and practical information for everyone, and strive to complete a publication.
In addition, she also wants to combine knowledge popularization with on-the-spot visits and shooting, "For example, the historical monuments and former residences of celebrities that we learned in textbooks have a lot of room to interpret. ”
