Ning Chunyan was agitated when she saw "Too Yellow". Then she was not tired of saying this.

"In my opinion, this collection is like using the best craftsmanship to carve patterns on shit. I don't deny the skills and qualities shown in it, but it is fundamentally bad literature. The better the writing, the more reactionary it becomes.

"Cheng Xing, in my opinion, you have always been a very talented young man. How could you sink to the point of being obsessed with this kind of literature? I don't understand. If anyone understands, can you explain it to me."

The speaker's name is Zhong Junmin, a professor at the Department of Literature at Nanjing University and an expert in ancient Chinese literature.

He is a lovely old man with extremely solid academic qualities. He taught Ning Chunyan about ancient Chinese literature.

She rarely heard the old man speak in such a stern tone, and she was immediately curious as to why Cheng Xing had offended him.

At this time, another person spoke in the group again:

"Teacher Zhong, I don't quite agree with your point of view. You say it's carvings on shit. We must first clarify whether it is shit. Love and sex are inherent components of human nature. If you say it is shit, then

We are all shit people, and the process of our reproduction is stirring up shit, and the history of mankind has become shit."

The corner of Ning Chunyan's mouth was completely raised. The person speaking was Huang Xinghuo, who was also a professor of the Department of Literature at Nanjing University, and he studied modern and contemporary literature.

His thoughts are relatively radical and avant-garde, and he and Zhong Junmin are very different not only in personality but also in academics, so you can always see the two quarreling.

However, the quarrels between the two of them were limited to academic matters, and there was no conflict in daily life. The two of them were seen eating together in the cafeteria at the last Ningchun Banquet.

Zhong Junmin said: "Huang Xinghuo, please don't use the slippery slope fallacy to misinterpret my meaning. Have I denied that love and sex are the eternal themes of literature? The question is how literature transcends it spiritually. If it does not transcend, human beings and animals

What's the difference?"

Huang Xinghuo said: "Human is originally an animal. How to transcend? Abstinence or castration? Does being a monk and restraining human nature like the Western medieval believers mean transcendence?"

Zhong Junmin said: "Have you read the collection posted by Little Friend Cheng Xing?"

Huang Xinghuo said: "I saw it."

Zhong Junmin said: "What do you think?"

Huang Xinghuo said: "It's delicious."

Zhong Junmin said: "Then this is a behavior of indulging in low-level taste. What you just said is not transcendence, it is nothing more than hedonism. You were just justifying your enjoyment. No need to say more."

Ning Chunyan crossed his legs, lay down in front of the table, took a sip of water, and began to watch the excitement seriously.

She was different from others since she was a child. Her parents quarreled, and other children liked to cry uncontrollably, turning the house into a roaring abyss. But she was different. She liked to move a small bench, sit by and watch. She just waved her little fist and shouted "

Fight, fight."

Huang and Zhong seemed to be arguing about a certain work released by Cheng Xing. Ning Chunyan felt that the matter had nothing to do with her, but that didn't stop her from taking the opportunity to watch.

After a while, Huang Xinghuo took over.

"Is it pleasure or aesthetics? Neither you nor I can deny the pleasure we feel when reading this collection. But you have to make it clear that there is a real object to please me and I get a sense of accomplishment from it. That is pleasure, but

That object does not exist. I simply draw some energy from reading.

"In other words, if someone can let people experience a real sense of identity through words alone, it has become art. Because this is a pure appreciation of beauty. Aesthetics is literature."

Zhong Junmin also came back and said a long paragraph:

"Haha, typical monist thinking. The pleasure you mentioned can be achieved by reading pornographic novels. Of course, this is not a pornographic novel, but I don't agree that you only see the beauty on the surface and ignore the corruption and corruption revealed in the text.

Don't talk.

"Writing conveys the Tao and cultivates the moral character. These are the tasks that should be shouldered. I don't see any shadow in this collection. I agree with its technique, but I don't agree with its way."

Huang Xinghuo said: "What is the Tao? What is the nature of cultivating? Why don't movies and TV series express the Tao? They can simply entertain people. Why should literature carry this burden? It's already the 21st century. Don't talk about this kind of cliche anymore.

I’m thinking about it. What’s more, what else is contained in the Book of Songs? The Book of Songs doesn’t even contain it, so why are you chanting the curse on other works?”

"How can this collection be compared with the Book of Songs? The Book of Songs thinks about innocence, does this collection also think about innocence?"

"Why is it not worthy? In this collection, at least what I have seen so far, the tone of every article is melancholy and painful, and even contains a trace of compassion. It is this tone that makes it serious between erotica, this contradiction

The intertwined sense of absurdity is a typical feature of postmodernism."

"Compassion? Do you see compassion in the flirtation of love?"

"Compassion is compassion. As the highest human emotion, it is everywhere. Can't you see compassion in "The Plum in the Golden Vase"?"

"There's more than just love in "The Plum in the Golden Ping"."

"There is more than just love in this collection. There are also icebergs hidden at the bottom."

When the two of them chatted, their sentences became shorter and shorter, their frequency became faster and faster, and their emotions became stronger and stronger. The fewer words, the bigger things happened, and it seemed like they were breaking up on bad terms.

At this time, another person joined the group chat:

"I watched the whole debate between the two teachers just now, and I also read the collection sent by Cheng Xingjun. Like the two teachers, I completely agree with the author's writing skills. But I also feel a little sorry that he used his talents in this kind of work.

This place gives people the feeling of 'a beautiful woman, how can she become a thief', which is always difficult to achieve elegance."

The speaker is Qin Huan, a recent up-and-coming author. His recent book "Sister-in-law Tree" has just topped the literary book sales list on Dangdang.com.

"I don't think so. Where is the hall of elegance? It is in people's hearts. If such words can really penetrate into people's hearts, it doesn't really matter what kind of skin it has."

The speaker was Haoyue, the editor of "Digest".

"Yes, the boundary between elegance and vulgarity has become very blurred in this era. What's more, this collection gave me a feeling of 'the vulgar is the elegance' from the beginning to the end."

It was young director Lin Yuhuan who spoke again.

"Then the boundary between elegance and vulgarity cannot be completely blurred, right? It is in this era that we should strive towards elegance and blindly rush towards kitsch. Is there any hope in this era?"

This is Wu Hongjie, the children’s book author.

"What everyone said just now is reasonable. Controversy is a good thing. Some values ​​become more and more clear as time goes by. If it can bring about controversy, this collection is also valuable. At the same time, I would like to remind everyone that Nabokov's "Lolita"

"It's also extremely controversial. Don't think that just a few of us can characterize this collection. The only thing that can determine the literary value of a work is time..."

This is the famous writer Zhang Mocun.

"I don't have such beautiful words as you, and I can't describe the writing style of this collection. I just kept thinking when I was watching it, it's really awesome. I can learn a few words to tease my little sister, it will be very useful."

This is director Lu Yuhao.

"Director Lu, this is your pragmatic view. We are now evaluating the value of this collection of short stories from a literary perspective."

"Hey, you guys are talking about literature, it doesn't stop me from using practicality to show off."

…

The Ningchun Banquet was breathtaking.

She has never seen this group so lively. Especially for literature.

Although this is a literary group.

Literary people are also human beings, and they also have emotions and desires. The daily life in this group is to compliment each other's works and exchange various trends and information in the literary and art circles. It is rare to discuss literature in such a serious way.

Everyone in the group has different artistic pursuits. When encountering conflicting opinions, most people stay silent or skip the topic by laughing and scolding. Seeking common ground while reserving differences is not only a secret to maintaining harmony in the diplomacy of major powers, it is also effective in private social interactions.

They rarely wanted to seriously argue about the value of a work like they did today. Seeing how vigorously they argued, Ning Chunyan couldn't help but wonder what triggered the internal fighting in this group.
Chapter completed!
