One,
American street culture is an important part of American society. In the past 50 years, serious racial discrimination still exists in American society. At that time, the status of black people in American society was very low, so street culture became popular among black people in the United States to vent their dissatisfaction with society. In street culture, besides the familiar street dance, hip-hop music and street basketball, there are graffiti (an art form painted on the wall, which can be seen everywhere on the subway walls in the United States, including some venting of dissatisfaction with the political and social atmosphere) and battle Competition (an underground music competition in the United States, one-on-one to pick out each other's shortcomings and scold them out). Of course, to correct it, many people think that street dance is the main part of street culture, but it should actually be a battle. Street dance is not very popular in America, but now it is mainly popular in Japan and South Korea.
The next step is to get down to business. China's pop music scene is mostly influenced by the United States, Japan, South Korea and other places. The melody and lyrics of songs contain cultural connotations, which are basically the flavor of foreign culture, but few musicians have their own culture. Even if there is, it is not supported and welcomed by domestic fans. Most of them are young singers in their early twenties, and their songs basically imitate European and American styles. As we know, the culture of each country is slowly evolving with their social background and development, so each country's cultural branch has its own cultural connotation, which also causes different cultural connotations in different countries. China's culture is ancient and traditional. Because of its long history of development, it has some traditional and ancient flavors. That's the point. Because of China's ancient cultural tradition, many young people in China think that China's culture is conservative, which leads to worshipping foreign things and obsessing foreign things. Culture is the cohesion of a country. Sadly, all the young people in China are influenced by foreign cultures, and they don't realize the seriousness of the problem.
For another example, a few days ago, Mr. Jet Li's new film "Huo Yuanjia" was released, and the whole film was very good and moving. In the long run, Jet Li's costume kungfu films can always reflect the heroism and domineering of the Chinese people. From Huang Feihong series to Kung Fu Emperor Fang Shiyu to Jason Wu hero, so is Huo Yuanjia this time. But at the end of the film, when Huo Yuanjia fell down because of Japanese poison, it was also a climax, but suddenly a Jay Chou jumped out and began to laugh, which upset the fans' previous emotions, so the whole climax was ruined by a song. This shows that cultures developed in different social backgrounds cannot be integrated on many occasions, which is just like putting on Peking Opera in a concert in Vienna.
Second,
Japanese anime.
Japanese anime is really beautiful, I don't deny it, because I was obsessed at that time, and the tenacity of the Japanese and their bushido spirit really deserve people's respect. In my opinion, the popularity of Japanese animation among the younger generation is inevitable.
When I was in the fifth grade of primary school, I didn't know how crazy it was to watch Naruto at that time, so I bought a lot of anime peripheral products such as ninja knives and ninja props. But I can be sure that the spirit embodied in Japanese animation is something I can enjoy all my life. This is good, but what are the disadvantages? Japanese anime fans in China are generally teenagers, that is, 10- 16 years old. Most people in this age group are immature in world outlook, outlook on life and some principles of life. When they see what they like, they worship blindly, and most of them appear in Japanese anime. This is the so-called "ideological aggression". In essence, the Japanese wrote these cartoons for some political purpose. Imagine that the younger generation in China is full of Japanese culture, and they are children who grew up watching Japanese culture. When our generation grows up, who can remember the culture of our Chinese nation for thousands of years, and where can we find a national cohesion? !
Third,
What will the post-80s literary craze bring to China?
In recent years, a group of post-80s young writers began to occupy the China literature market. With the "National New Concept Composition Competition" getting better and better, writers like Jing M.Guo and Han Han began to become popular among young people in China. In the early days, because of some defects in China's educational mechanism, students in some areas, especially junior high school students and senior high school students, were under great learning pressure (of course, this defect still exists now), so many junior high school students and senior high school students who loved literature wrote some rebellious and critical articles in the early days. Because these articles were in line with the psychology of most students at that time, more students began to imitate this writing style. Gradually, this article with rebellious style became a form. What these students write is no longer the expression of true feelings, but deliberately let the article achieve some effect. What's more, because there are too many articles written in this style, many students have negative thoughts, and even worse, they have mental illness. More students begin to think that writing articles is to chase a certain trend, which is not the essence of literature.
Of course, these phenomena also have a good side. Because of chasing the trend and this new "decadent wind", many students began to take part in written writing. Some of them have discovered their interest in writing, and of course, some people will never understand the essence of writing articles. However, the "post-80s" trend has injected fresh vitality into the long-silent China literary world.
Fourth,
"Rock Decadence" from America
Just like the post-80s generation mentioned above, the American rock punk trend is so decadent. In fact, rock music is very nice and I like it very much, but I have never studied it seriously, and I have never thought about learning anything from it or worshiping it, just for fun. But there are still many people who are fascinated by it. Rock music has a strong sense of decadence Although there are fresh rock bands like Hansen, there are very few. Many foreign rock singers are mentally ill and often make crazy moves, but it is really puzzling that some fans in China actually think this is very personal and follow the trend. Coupled with the influence of the "post-80 s" wind, more and more people began to learn to be cool, rebellious and decadent this year. This is not a normal psychological state, but a deliberately created personality characteristic, which is followed by negative thoughts on life, study and career.
Summary: Foreign cultures are really rich and colorful. The purpose of writing this article is not to attack foreign cultures, nor does it mean that we can't appreciate foreign cultures. However, among the younger generation in China, few people can realize the importance of their national culture. My suggestion is that you can take these foreign cultural factors as your interest, but don't lose your head and worship too much. Our own national culture also has its magnificent and dazzling side. Also, if you really like Japanese comics, I suggest you believe that you have a mature world outlook and outlook on life before going to see Japanese comics. Many spirits embodied in Japanese cartoons are very valuable and worth learning.
We should delete the bad aspects and learn the good ones.
Finally, to paraphrase a classic line:
"Take the advantages of foreigners, make up for the shortcomings of Chinese people, light a thousand lights and put a hundred heats!"
