A person's so-called taste depends largely on the proportion of his low taste in all tastes. Generally speaking, the more civilized regions and nationalities are, the more diversified their life interests are, and the proportion of low-level interests should be lighter.
The process of human evolution and purification is actually a process of continuously reducing the proportion of low taste in all human interests.
The postscript of Lu Xun's pseudo-free book reads: "The gentleman of China lamented the unfamiliarity of people's hearts and hated bandits' disobedience, but he was afraid that there would be no such thing as disobedience in the world, so he had to spread it with a pen to catch the eye of readers with low tastes.

Low taste in literature
1, groaning and putting on airs
Full of dust and troubles, I prefer to learn from Xie Tao's natural and unrestrained landscapes and pretend to be elegant; As long as the pursuers of pornography actually meet the natural needs of physiology, they will follow the romantic poet to eulogize the sacredness of love;
Living a petty-bourgeois life, acting like a bourgeois, but cursing the darkness of society, talking about a little ism and shouting slogans, he is like a revolutionary. There are countless such classes, and people are not like people.

In addition to adding fun and touching humor, there is also a profound and meaningful meaning, which can be thought-provoking and uplifting, with tears in laughter and sympathy in sarcasm.
3, waving flags and shouting, the party is the same.
There is only right and wrong in thought, only beauty and ugliness in literature and art, and there should be only one standard for us to take likes and dislikes. If we have enemies and friends in literature and art, then those who are serious, pure and successful in literature and art should be friends, and those who use literature and art for other purposes and show low taste in their works should be enemies.

What I want to talk about here is not the works intended for propaganda, but the common psychological habits of the characters in the works from a narrow moral point of view. Literature and art should faithfully express life, which is good and evil in all aspects of luck and disaster.
Our moral consciousness naturally makes us rejoice in goodness, beauty, luck and happiness, and hate evil, ugliness, disaster and tragedy. However, if literature and art look at life as Arnold said, they must "look at the stability and integrity of life", so they can't just focus on light and avoid darkness.
From a higher level, opposites often complement each other, resulting in the greatness and solemnity of the world in life, while ordinary people are not easy to see from a higher level. Although there are defects in real life, they hope that such defects can be made up in literature and art.
