△ 271｜Things that cannot be placed on the countertop
In the past two days, there has been a news story about an elementary school teacher who recorded the “gift money” given to him by his parents, and accidentally sent the photo of this small ledger to the parent group, so that one cannot be placed on the table. things are published. As a result, the primary school teacher was punished and the matter came to an end.
Cuba, a socialist country, has passed the legalization of homosexuality, and also recognized the legalization of surrogacy. Of course, these things cannot be said on the table, so of course Simplified Chinese does not allow anyone to discuss them.
“Hidden in the Dust” was taken off the shelves all over the Internet, and the reason for the removal has always been ambiguous. When I saw this news, I would joke with my friends, saying that no one would suddenly appear and write a stinky, long, sour, and rotten article, imitating the “Commentary on the New Historical Drama “Hai Rui Dismissed from Office”. Criticizing “Hidden in the Dust”, as expected, this article arrived on schedule. Of course, the historical event involved in the “Commentary on the New Historical Drama “Hai Rui Dismissed from Office” still cannot be explained too clearly on the table.
Recently, Tsinghua University Law School professor Lao Dongyan’s Weibo was cleared overnight. Some people suspected that she was banned because she often spoke out on social issues. Recently, she also questioned the widespread use of “health codes” and surveillance technology. As for the reason, this cannot be said on the table. But sadly, when people realized that Professor Lao Dongyan’s Weibo had been emptied because it could not be placed on the table, they actually said the phrase “getting used to it”.
…
Pushing back further, there are more and more things that cannot be placed on the table, which are all placed under the tablecloth that no one thinks is seen. But lately they’ve been a little too much, and the tables are being held high by them.
Having said that, in the universal values of the Chinese people, “to be clear” has always been a very obscure and ambiguous, but a social relationship survival skill that everyone must have. Few people will tell you what you shouldn’t put on the table under circumstances, but everyone has a rule in mind about what can be put on the table.
When receiving gift money, take out a small book to keep accounts. This is the “borrowing and repaying” aspect of Chinese people’s human life. As for the matter, I will not talk about it, but the purpose of recording it is not only for good repayment, but also for “beautiful look”. ”, to see who gave how many gifts, who should give more and less, and who thought they gave less but unexpectedly gave a lot – of course, these “data analysis” can’t be said on the table. , the number of the number, there will be a difference in ranking. Do you see how many people will lose control of their emotions because of the ranking of a game, not to mention the value of the gift money, which is related to face, insides, and more complicated human feelings.
The primary school teacher sent the gift money list to the primary school parent group. It is inevitable that some people will think that this is a face and a compliment, and some people feel that they have been hurt. Those parents who did not plan to give a gift money to the teacher will also sigh: What do you mean, Is the purpose of posting this to let us parents who haven’t paid the money get off the hook?
What is put on the table, and what can’t be put on the table, is one of the important lessons for “getting it straight”, and the problem is that this is a thing that has absolutely no conditions, formulas, or even standard answers.
For example, in Brazil’s legalization of homosexuality, people who don’t mind revealing their sexuality have thrown on the table a topic that many people should not discuss on the table, and those who dare not discuss it can’t do anything about them. At this time, another group of people went to discuss this matter on the stage, and felt that those who admitted that they were brave enough to face themselves deserve to be praised, and that they lived out themselves. And for those who can’t put this on the table, it is a kind of punishment and humiliation, because of the shackles of reality, they can’t put themselves on the table and be mercenaries.
Whether it can be put on the table or not is not decided by the parties themselves, but a kind of “choice” in reality, but it will inevitably suffer the corresponding ending because it is placed on the table or hidden under the tablecloth.
Professor Lao Dongyan’s Weibo is nothing but the same. She discusses all the things that can’t be put on the table, but it makes people see a lot of things that should be put on the table for everyone to discuss and analyze. People will think that she may be one of the few people who can “get it right” in this bullshit society. But this is not smart either. When most people think that some things don’t need to be put on the table, it is not a good thing to “know it clearly”, that is, when Professor Lao Dongyan is obliterated by society.
I saw a joke a few days ago, but I didn’t expect it to be true. A PO owner who posted a video of himself driving a paraglider on Douyin has an account with a “Mother and Daughter Selfie” avatar under his video. He replied very seriously: I will post less videos of this kind in the future, I am afraid that children will watch it. will imitate.
It is conceivable that when there are more and more people who “don’t allow other people’s behavior to get on the table”, paragliding will inevitably be defined as “teach children badly and even make them imitate and become dangerous”. Behavior, if the base of such people is large enough, in order to please most of the traffic, the platform will inevitably add a “can’t be placed on the table” rule to limit the occurrence of such “unclear” things by means of self-castration.
As for the fact that “Hidden in the Dust” was blocked by the entire Internet, this is one of the most important methodologies in the Chinese philosophy of “getting it clear” and about the “table surface” – that is, if you can’t see it, it means it doesn’t exist. As long as those voices that state the facts are blocked, the truth of the facts can be proved by the “evidence” that “can be put on the table”.
——Why not put “things that are not on the table” elsewhere? Because this is the rule, at the beginning, a special person put a box on the ground with tape, and asked everyone to put all the things that are not allowed on the table in the box below the table to prevent them from being seen by the outside world. So there are enough of them, they can’t be spread out horizontally, they can only be overlapped vertically. Now that the table is too high, no one can see the things that you want to put on the table and say.
