跟一群农村的孩子在一起,我说你们的父母给你们最重要的财富就是让你们自由地生长,我问他们:你的爸爸妈妈会因为你的学习成绩不好而不爱你们吗?他们齐声说,不会!会因为你们衣服脏了而不爱你们吗?他们齐声说,不会!会因为你们的字写得不好看而不爱你们吗,他们齐声说,不会!有人在旁边小声说,城里的父母会。孩子们惊讶,啊!

与乡野群童共处,吾言:“尔等父母所遗最要之财,乃使尔等自由以长。”吾问之曰:“若汝等学业不进,父母其不爱汝乎?”众童齐应曰:“否!”又问:“若衣履污敝,其不爱汝乎?”齐曰:“否!”复问:“若字迹拙劣,其不爱汝乎?”亦齐曰:“否!”旁有细语云:“城中父母或如是。”童子皆惊,曰:“噫!”

I was with a group of children from the countryside. I said to them, "The most valuable wealth your parents have given you is the freedom to grow naturally. I asked them, “Will your parents love you any less if your grades are poor?” They answered in unison, “No!” “Will they love you any less if your clothes are dirty?” Again, they answered in unison, “No!” “Will they love you any less if your handwriting is not beautiful?” Once more, they answered in unison, “No!” Someone nearby whispered, “Parents in the city would.” The children were surprised and exclaimed, “Ah!”

因为长年伏案工作,我的颈椎腰椎都有毛病,一个武术家帮我正骨后,叮嘱说,近期不要翘二郎腿。我查阅资料,发现翘二郎腿貌似让人轻松舒服,其实并不好,跷二郎腿会不雅观,对人不礼貌,其次,跷二郎腿的时候骨盆会侧倾,久而久之导致脊柱侧弯、椎间盘突出、腰背疼、高低肩、长短腿等等,有网友就说自己翘二郎腿导致身体出了问题。古人说,德建名立、形端表正,原来并不是说教,而是无数个案或说大数据带来的经验总结。

以久伏几案劳作故,吾颈椎腰椎皆有疾。一武师为吾正骨毕,嘱曰:“近时勿跷二郎腿。”吾考诸典籍,知跷二郎腿虽似得一时轻安,实则非善。其一,此姿有失雅观,于礼不敬;其二,跷腿则骨盆侧倾,积时累月,必致脊柱侧弯、椎间盘突出、腰背作痛、肩臂高低、腿足长短等患。有网友言,自身因跷腿而身染诸疾。古人云“德建名立,形端表正”,初非徒为说教,实乃累千万案例(或谓大数据)所集之经验也。

Due to years of deskwork, both my cervical and lumbar spine have problems. After a martial artist helped me with bone-setting, he advised me not to cross my legs for a while. Upon researching, I found that while crossing one’s legs may appear relaxing and comfortable, it is actually not good. Crossing legs is not only aesthetically unpleasing and impolite to others, but it also causes the pelvis to tilt, which, over time, can lead to scoliosis, herniated discs, back pain, uneven shoulders, and legs of different lengths. Some netizens have mentioned that crossing their legs has caused them physical problems. The ancients said, “Virtue builds character, and proper form reflects integrity,” which is not mere preaching, but rather an empirical summary derived from countless cases or, one could say, big data.

年轻时曾对知识界的商业气息重不以为然,后来明白羞于谈钱或谈钱色变是我们的低能,是我们应该补上的人生大课。南方不少地方有“苦钱”一说,现代人则积极地用“搞钱”代替。在我的研究里,现代人要实现人生的某种圆满,除了立足于自己的兴趣爱好外,有关士农工商的经验都要去获取,这样才算体验了人生的丰富,其中挣钱、苦钱或搞钱是每个人都应该及格的一门功课。


网友恶搞热门表情包

少时常轻知识界之重商气,后乃悟,耻于言利或谈利色变,实吾辈之拙也,此人生大课当补之。南方多地有“苦钱”之谓,今人则以“搞钱”代之。于吾之研思,今人欲成人生之圆满,除立乎己之兴趣外,士农工商诸般经验皆当亲获,方谓尝人生之丰。其中治生、苦钱或搞钱,乃人人必及格之功课也。

In my youth, I once looked down upon the commercial atmosphere prevalent in the intellectual circles. Later, I realized that being ashamed to talk about money or changing countenance at its mention is actually our incompetence, and it is an important life lesson that we should make up for. In many places in the South, there is a saying of “enduring hardship for money” (苦钱 kǔ qián), while modern people actively use “making money” (搞钱 gǎo qián) instead. In my research, I believe that in order for modern people to achieve a certain sense of fulfillment in life, apart from basing themselves on their own interests and hobbies, they should acquire the experiences related to scholars, farmers, artisans, and merchants. Only in this way can they be said to have experienced the richness of life, among which making money, enduring hardship for money, or simply making money is a required course that everyone should pass.

自从做视频后,我经常有如履薄冰的感觉。因为说话是一种冒险,是容易犯口业的。古人说沉默是金,言多必失。孔子们以为,巧言令色鲜矣仁。能说会道从来不是一个正面形象,历史上的演说家多是希特勒一类的奸雄,是空谈清谈误己误人的说客。但现代人必须用话语表达,我们说话不是为了表达真理或正确,我们说话本身就是真理,口才好坏、甚至废话空话错话都是存在的真实和真理。这种表达不仅是为了利益名声,也是为了意义,就像哲学家们说的,人必须说很多话才能保持沉默。

自制影音以来,予常如临深渊,如履薄冰。盖言谈乃险事,易招口业。古语云:沉默是金,多言必失。孔圣有云:巧言令色,鲜矣仁。善辩之才,自古非正面之象,纵观史册,演说家多如希特勒之奸雄,或如清谈误国误民之辩士。然则今人必以言辞达意,吾辈言语,非为真理正确,言语本身即是真理,口才优劣,乃至废话、空话、错话,皆为存在之真实与真理。此等表达,非惟利禄名声,亦为意义,正如哲人所言:人必多言,方能守默。

Since I started making videos, I have often felt like I am walking on thin ice. Because speaking is a kind of adventure, and one is prone to commit sins of the mouth. The ancients said, “Silence is golden, and those who speak much will inevitably make mistakes.” Confucius believed that “Crafty words and a ingratiating manner seldom reflect benevolence.” A glib tongue has never been a positive image; throughout history, orators have mostly been villains like Hitler, or smooth-talking lobbyists who deceive themselves and others. However, modern people must express themselves through speech. We speak not to express truth or correctness, but our speaking itself is the truth. Whether one is a good or poor speaker, and even whether one speaks nonsense, empty words, or mistakes, are all real and true aspects of existence. This kind of expression is not only for profit and reputation, but also for meaning, just as philosophers say, “One must speak many words in order to remain silent.”

很多人以为现代社会妇女儿童的权益受到保护了,其实在生活中,他们并没有得到尊重,儿童被各种规训不用说,妇女一旦退休就是边缘化没人关心了。一个朋友说,又穷又丑的农村妇女,关心她们的人非常少,他想到关心妇女的人,一个是梵高,梵高看见过她们,《吃土豆的人》画的就是贫穷的农村人。还有一个人,兰姆,他认为尊重妇女不应该只尊重精致漂亮年轻的。

吃土豆的人(第三版) 梵·高 

世人多谓今之世妇女儿童权益得护,然实则于生活中,彼等未获尊重。童子为诸般规训所束固不待言,妇人一旦致仕,则渐处边缘,鲜有人问津。有友言,又贫又丑之乡间妇人,鲜少有人顾之。其念及关怀妇人者,一为梵高,梵高曾见彼等,其所绘《食马铃薯者》即贫穷之农人也。另一人乃兰姆,其以为尊妇人不当独敬精巧美丽年少者。

Many believe that women's and children's rights are protected in modern society, but in reality, they are not respected in daily life. Children are subject to various disciplines without saying, and once women retire, they are marginalized and ignored. A friend said that there is very little concern for poor and unattractive rural women. He thought of those who care for women: one is Van Gogh, who saw them—The Potato Eaters depicts poor rural people. The other is Lamb, who believed that respecting women should not be limited to the delicate, beautiful, and young.

欧几里得拒绝教国王时说,几何无王者之道。今天的影像时代,我们也可以说没有什么捷径,视频不会对名人精英更偏爱,视频没有王者之道。网红红两年三年容易,红五年十年就难了。古人说,“社稷无常奉,君臣无常位。”这个现象在视频时代加快了速度。我因此更尊重网友们对于视频的推动之功,那些在内地的小职员、农村的农民、中学的老师,他们的视频做得那么认真,但往往只有几个赞,这是文明最神圣最可感念之处,我们希望世界看见听见我们,我们在这么做的时候反求诸己,推动自己走向人生的自我完善,这是一条艰难的道路,也是一条光荣的道路。武侠小说经常有这样的话,米粒之珠,也放光华。是的,我们每个人在镜头面前都可以光华灿烂。用我的书的广告语,不必苦等光的到来,每个人都可以做自己的灯塔。

欧几里得拒教国王,曰:“几何无王者之道。”今值影像之世,亦可云:捷径难求,视频不私名人精英,亦无王者之道。网红者,红二三年易,红五载十载则难。古人云:“社稷无常奉,君臣无常位。”此象于视频之世愈速矣。吾是以愈重网友推视频之功,内地小吏、乡野农夫、庠序之师,其制视频也至谨,然赞者常不过数,此乃文明最圣神可感者也。吾辈望世界见我闻我,为此而反求诸己,促自身以臻自我完善,此途虽艰,然亦荣光。武侠小说常有言:“米粒之珠,亦放光华。”诚然,吾辈人人于镜头前皆可光华灿烂。以吾书之广告语曰:不必苦俟光至,人人皆可自为灯塔。

When Euclid refused to teach the king, he said, "There is no royal road to geometry." In today's age of imagery, we can also say there are no shortcuts—videos show no favoritism to celebrities or elites; there is no royal road to them either. It's easy for internet celebrities to stay popular for two or three years, but hard to remain so for five or ten. The ancients said, "States have no permanent rulers, nor do lords and ministers have permanent positions." This phenomenon has accelerated in the video era. Therefore, I respect even more the contribution of netizens to pushing forward video content. Petty clerks in mainland cities, rural farmers, middle school teachers—they create videos so earnestly, yet often get only a few likes. This is the most sacred and touching aspect of civilization: we hope the world sees and hears us, and in doing so, we reflect on ourselves, pushing toward self-improvement. It is a difficult path, but also a glorious one. Martial arts novels often say, "Even a grain of rice can shine." Yes, each of us can shine brightly in front of the camera. To quote the tagline of my book: "No need to wait for light to come—everyone can be their own lighthouse."

苏东坡的诗,问汝平生功业,黄州惠州儋州。既沉痛又乐天知命。网友用12个字写尽人生的悲剧时借用苏体,问汝平生功业,学士硕士骑士,这就沉痛而无可奈何了。

苏东坡诗云:“问汝平生功业,黄州惠州儋州。”语既沉痛,复含乐天知命之意。网友仿苏体,以十二字道尽人生之悲,其辞曰:“问汝平生功业,学士硕士骑士。”此则沉痛而无可奈何矣。

Su Dongpo's poem asks, "Of all your life's achievements, where do they lie? Huangzhou, Huizhou, Danzhou." It is both profound in sorrow and accepting of fate. Imitating Su's style, netizens use twelve characters to capture life's tragedy: "Of all your life's achievements, where do they lie? Bachelor, Master, Knight." This conveys deep anguish and helpless resignation.
