Tendo: Is Ding Yuanying's reference to cultural attributes really correct? Why would he say that?

Friends who have read the novel Distant Savior or the TV series The Way of Heaven must be no strangers to the four words Cultural Attributes, which appear 27 times a **** in the novel. So what kind of a concept is this cultural attribute.

In Ding Yuanying's words:

"There are three levels of perspective society in order: technology, system and culture. As small as a person, as large as a country and a nation, any kind of fate is ultimately the product of that cultural attributes. Strong culture creates the strong, weak culture creates the weak, this is the law, can also be understood as the way of heaven, not by human will for transfer."

Rui Xiaodan asked, "What is a strong culture? And what is a weak culture?"

Ding Yuanying said, "A strong culture is one that follows the laws of things, and a weak culture is one that relies on the moral expectations of the strong to break the rules of access, and one that expects to save the Lord. Strong culture is known as the "secret book" in martial arts, while weak culture has become a popular variety because it is easy to learn, understand and use."

Rui Xiaodan pushed the ashtray toward him so that it wouldn't fall on the food next to him as he flicked the ashes, and said, "Still, a learned man can curse, it's so caustic. Literally can understand a little, but know so what, how to use it?"

Ding Yuanying said, "Nothing to use, nothing to use."

Rui Xiaodan said: "No use, live an understanding is okay. Nothing to use? Give me an example."

Ding Yuanying thought for a while, cited an example, said: "For example, the cultural industry, literature, film and television is the art of pulling the soul, if the creation of literature, film and television can crack the cultural code of the higher thinking space, then its efficacy is the enlightenment of human enlightenment, shocking the human soul, which is the need of all beings, is the merit, the market, the fame and fortune, the spirit of the rescue of the profiteering and the profiteering of drug narcotics is completely equivalent. The windfall of spiritual salvation is completely equal to the windfall of drug anesthesia, and there is no need to play tricks like drug trafficking, and there is no psychological cost or legal risk."

Ding Yuanying, this person, in the cultural ideology, is definitely not the general Chinese form, its own high and proud, actually a German psychological replica of the traditional Chinese culture of the lack of self-confidence, the German is known to be proud of arrogance, do not get along with the group, the evidence is that it is in the Wutai Mountain Buddha, that is not at all a Chinese person said Buddha, but is a Western-style skills disguised as the Buddha's teachings, and from this point of view, there is no Chinese qualities in its body. There is no Chinese trait, but the compassion of the Western savior to contact my Chinese culture, and its inability to enter the door of the Buddha, is fundamentally on their own glimpse of a self-centered absolute truth of the arrogance of their superstitions, but the Jews set up the doctrine.

"The stereotypes of traditional Chinese culture are seeped into the bone" Ding Yuanying, to a great extent by the influence of German culture, this influence is the German "responsibility", is "destiny". This influence is the German "responsibility" and "destiny". Germans are a very responsible people, no matter what they do, their idea is to try to do the best. This sense of responsibility comes from the German concept of "destiny". In short, they do their work, they feel that they do this work is God's arrangement, to do this work to perfection, is the "original sin" of the best redemption. Therefore, the Germans appear to be rigid and strict, that is because they feel that they must do their best to do things to the best of their ability. This is their "responsibility".

Ding Yuanying once advised Rui Xiaodan not to become a police officer, he said: "...... key sentence: you should resign. Please note that you should, not I hope. As long as you are a police officer for a minute, you this minute must fulfill the vocation of the police, you do not have the power to avoid danger. But the state machinery is not short of a woman criminal police officer who will sooner or later be eliminated, and society deserves one more person of extraordinary talent, which is not a value that can be understood by commonplace heroism and a commonplace sense of equality."

At the end of the novel, Rui Xiaodan is seriously injured in the process of arresting a wanted man, and then shoots herself. Xiao Yawen, Rui Xiaodan's best friend, asks Ding Yuanying why she didn't dissuade Rui Xiaodan, to which she replies, "She's a police officer." At the same time, she asked Ding Yuanying why Rui Xiaodan killed herself, to which Ding Yuanying replied, "Because she thought she was useless."

This is first of all a "responsibility" issue, because it is a police officer, so it is necessary to do everything that the police should do, including facing the danger and give life. This is a "vocation" that can not be avoided, can not be avoided. Rui Xiaodan spent her childhood in Germany, Ding Yuanying also stayed in Germany for a long time, this kind of "responsibility" from the Germans has been y imprinted into their consciousness, so Ding Yuanying did not persuade Rui Xiaodan in the face of danger to turn away, Rui Xiaodan also know that Ding Yuanying will not be persuaded to do so.

Ding Yuanying criticized the Chinese culture, said: "The traditional concept of the dead end in a 'rely' on the word, at home, rely on parents, go out and rely on friends, rely on God, rely on the bodhisattva, rely on the emperor's grace ...... in short, rely on whatever you can, but do not rely on yourself. Just don't rely on yourself." What resources are available to me", while others first think "Where is the Savior?

The two different modes of thinking must lead to vastly different results! Even if we take a step back, the Savior appeared, threw down the rope, you do not work hard to climb up, do you expect the Savior jumped down to the pit to carry you on the back?

The reality is always more brutal than we think! "What can I do" and "what can you do" from another point of view, that is, do not recognize their own responsibility, a recognition of their own responsibility, can not fulfill their responsibilities, of course, even less to recognize their own independent value, independent! The personality is there, and can only look forward to the myth of "pie in the sky", and can only use their intelligence in a variety of ways to "break the rules to get".

Ding Yuanying's behavior is flowing with the blood of German culture, but after all, he is not German. The Germans can combine the value of being and the value of life, and by realizing their value of being, they have accomplished their own redemption of the original sin, and have embodied the value of their lives. However, Ding Yuanying does not have God, and even if he speaks of God, he cannot have the kind of sincere faith in God that Westerners have, so it is impossible for him to place his life value on the value of being.

Ding Yuanying's claim that he has an inferiority complex to traditional culture is in fact a kind of self-confidence, because Ding is a marginalized person, and he can't be integrated into the mainstream German society in Germany because of his skin color, his language, and although he speaks fluent German, his bones are still Chinese, and he feels that he is still marginalized because he has seen through China. I'm not going to be able to do that, but I'm going to be able to do it," he said.

Ding Yuanying is Chinese, no matter how inferior he feels to Chinese culture, how fierce his criticism of Chinese culture, he can not escape the cultural imprint brought about by blood and skin color. The old Hegel said: you go, you can not go out of your skin.

Ding Yuanying said, "I always want to live a life of understanding", that is, looking for a corner of the soul to return to, looking for, can not get rid of the Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism. Confucianism does not care about the metaphysical soul, and is the first to be ruled out; Taoism is too simple and illusory, and lacks resources that can be drawn on; so Ting Yuan Ying, who is good at thinking, found Buddhism, which is also good at thinking.

Ding Yuanying, in his discussion with Master Zhixuan at Wutai Mountain, talked about the difference between "cultivation" and "enlightenment": "Cultivation is to become a Buddha, in the search. Enlightenment is to realize one's nature and to know. Cultivation is based on action; enlightenment is based on nature; the awakened one generates law from the mind; the cultivated one controls the mind with law. Those who do not fall into evil consequences have faith but no evidence, and they abide in cause and effect, in thought and mind, and so on. He who does not know cause and effect abides without abiding, has no desires but no non-desires, has no precepts but no non-precepts, and is like Nirvana."

This passage is typical of those who emphasize inner enlightenment over precept practice. The first thing you need to do is to get a good idea of what you're doing and how you're doing it. After all, Ting Yuan Ying is still a Chinese, Chinese people in the nature of the pursuit of simplicity and cumbersome, heavy thought and light action habits, the kind of direct reference to the nature of the mind, the thought that the temptation of Bodhi, is latent in the skin color of Ting Yuan Ying.

Look at its "cultural attributes" of the reference, but also is not the complexity of the issue of simplification, generalization of ideas, that is, all the problems are traced back to the cultural issues, that cultural issues are solved on the resolution of everything, the cultural issues are not solved on everything can not be solved.

By choosing this kind of "enlightenment" thinking, everything behind will be logical.

The purpose of breaking the stubbornness is not the purpose, and seeing the emptiness is not the purpose, the purpose is to "find out the cause of the trouble, and to make the mind suffer and not to suffer". Therefore, after realizing that all things are empty, you don't have to be attached to anything, "sleep when you're sleepy, eat when you're hungry", and it's only normal to be comfortable and treat everything with a normal mind. This is the Buddha, this is the way of heaven, the law.

Ding Yuanying was impressed by Rui Xiaodan's ease and spontaneity, and called it a realm. This is indeed the realm, but this realm around and around, or circled back to Zhuangzi, either as a free priest, or mixed with the mortal world. This is the final judgment of Ding Yuanying about the value of life, so call it "the best of the best", is also appropriate.

Ding Yuanying's behavior is very German, focusing on the value of as, focusing on the "should be" that is, how to do; however, in the inner thought, or the traditional Chinese thought of the things, the magic in the bland, the gullies in the heart, the life of the bland and comfortable.

Ding Yuanying is a contradiction, and it is not easy to explain the contradiction. The author, Doudou, tries to integrate two values in Ting Yuanying, the German rigor and responsibility in real life, but also the rate of Chinese admiration and natural spontaneity. However, there is a gap between the two, but no bridge can be built.

Ding Yuanying's reference to this cultural attribute, although influenced by German culture, but his way of thinking, focusing on the objective law is still very worthy of our reference. Ding Yuanying for as the value of the German-style obsession, still envy him on the value of life can reach natural spontaneity. Existence is Reasonable Man is a polyhedron, and as value and life value are on different planes, coping with different worlds, the former coping with society, the latter coping with self. Both the social value, but also self-life of the plain and easy!

Thank you for your attention, I am a fish happy hi world, small people's vision of the world, you have your big world, I have my small vision.
