In the late 1980s, Wang Guozhen, a chicken soup poet, was born, bringing the first bowl of chicken soup for the soul to Chinese people. In the 1990s, this style of writing began to be warmly welcomed by the broad masses of the people and adopted by a large number of writers. Typical representatives are American writer Liu Yong and philosopher Zhou. At this time, chicken soup, as a powerful spiritual placebo, was accepted by the broad masses of the people and became the hottest slogan in many books and radio marketing propaganda.
Later, with the development of the Internet, chicken soup for the soul began to appear frequently in portals, forums, post bars, and now Weibo, WeChat, Zhihu and other platforms. Wherever the eye can reach, there must be chicken soup. The proliferation of chicken soup for the soul has made the original warm and inspirational positive energy image begin to be questioned and resented by people.
In May of 20 14, a whirlwind of "anti-chicken soup" was blown up on the Internet. For example, "Life is not only about the present, but also about the future", "Gold always shines, but stones don't shine anywhere", "If you find that life has deceived you, it doesn't matter, life will continue to deceive you tomorrow" ... These anti-chicken soup, because of its distinctive style, banter and face-to-face bleak life, brought a cool feeling to the broad masses of the people for a time, and then formed a craze.
At this time, the negative meaning of chicken soup is gradually better than the positive meaning. So people began a long game of chicken soup and anti-chicken soup. It was not until later that people gradually realized that anti-chicken soup is actually a kind of chicken soup. It's just chicken soup with a different flavor. Just like Yuanyang hot pot, if the chicken soup is the original bottom of the pot, then the anti-chicken soup is the bottom of the pot with hot sauce. A warm and inspirational positive energy, a pungent and teasing style, is nothing more than chicken soup in essence.
At this time, people who swing from side to side between chicken soup and anti-chicken soup suddenly find that I can never drink soup. No matter how much soup I drink, it's hard to get hungry. I have to eat something real. So "dry goods" came into being. Dry goods advertise themselves like this: we are not soup, we don't mix water, we are meat. Ensure drug accuracy and drug accuracy. So dry goods were widely sought after, and people went to the building for a while.
For example, Peng Xiaoliu, the god of dry goods in the world, started out by writing dry goods. His early articles were really dry, with almost no water. It is full and delicious to read. But then his articles became more and more watery, and the flavor of chicken soup became stronger and stronger. At this time, some readers began to attack: a dry goods author began to write chicken soup. It seems that I have been greatly hurt. Peng Xiaoliu himself said: I have been writing dry goods for several years and I am very tired. Many times, I need chicken soup to stick to it.
Yes, people are not machines. People have emotional needs. When you are exhausted on the road to struggle, a bowl of chicken soup and a dose of chicken blood will immediately cheer you up and move on. Nowadays, the pressure of social survival is so great that many times, we need chicken soup or even anti-chicken soup. This is why chicken soup is so popular.
But chicken soup should not be drunk excessively. Because the essence of chicken soup is to remove many elements from the complicated living environment, especially those that are realistic, skinny, dull and negative, and only select those warm, soft and positive elements to enlarge them, it is made. You can't find any reason to refute it, because everything it says is right. But this is one-sided and blind. Soaking in this warm chicken soup for a long time is tantamount to mental paralysis. It can be seen that the so-called chicken soup, drinking too much, hurts the body. Eating too much is like arsenic.
Mention arsenic, arsenic trioxide, highly toxic substances. But it is not useless, and there are many records in history, which are used to treat sleeping sickness, tuberculosis, skin diseases and other stubborn diseases. Not long ago, the oral arsenic drug independently developed by the University of Hong Kong was proved to have a miraculous effect on the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia.
It can be seen that whether it is chicken soup, anti-chicken soup, dry goods or arsenic, there is no good or bad thing in itself, and everything depends on the user. When you need chicken soup, when you need anti-chicken soup, and when you need dry goods, only you know best. What suits you is the best. It is a good thing that there are so many things in the world that can satisfy different choices and hobbies of different people.
In this case, when we are faced with chicken soup, anti-chicken soup and dry goods, we must abandon the extreme view of black and white and try to find a balance point in our hearts: we can drink chicken soup and swallow dry goods. Maintaining this balance requires independent thinking ability based on rational judgment. In this way, it will not be intellectualized, emotional and one-sided by chicken soup and anti-chicken soup, nor will it be caught by dry goods.
I wish you a consistent appearance in this complex world.
