"Wrong reward" is an old word, which comes from Wei Zhi's Ten Thoughts on admonishing Taizong: "Don't reward wrongly, don't punish excessively." Add "ism" to an old word and it becomes a new word. False praise literally means boasting something that should not be boasted, and such things happen from time to time; "Misunderstanding" refers to the proliferation of improper praise, which has become a common phenomenon in society and is terrible. The above-mentioned netizens said that "pseudo-appreciation" is prevalent now, and Professor Sun also recognized it.
In addition to the phenomenon that "doing one's job well is called dedication" mentioned by Professor Sun, I think there are many more serious phenomena. "Do your job well" means at least do your job well. Although it can't be praised as "dedication", there will always be no big mistakes. Just praise it. The problem now is that public opinion often tries its best to publicize some very bad phenomena, adding absurdity to them and continuing, while criticism is minimal and ineffective.
For example, popular imperial dramas beautify feudal autocracy, praise cruel emperors and confuse people. Even Emperor Kangxi in the play said that he would live for 500 years, which is a great blasphemy against modern democratic system and civil society. It is a great retrogression in history, but it has been praised by fashionable drama critics. Its crew, directors and actors are widely sought after, and businessmen do not hesitate to invest hundreds of billions of dollars here. To what extent is this "fallacy"? The drama became more and more popular, and the public opinion became more boastful and noisy.
After "Wolf Totem" came out, not only critics said, "Let's all start with wolves! ..... let's achieve the cause of wolves and create the era of wolves. "Hundreds of millions of people applauded the evil wolf's character, so more" dog wolf books "poured in, and robber logic and bourgeois philosophy became more rampant.
What a wonderful "cultural prosperity" and "spiritual feast"!
This kind of "emperor series" and "dog and wolf series" are mixed together, becoming a popular "spiritual opium mixture", which corrodes the central nervous system of modern people, but it cannot be deeply analyzed. Does it mean that the poor people will be poisoned, have a runny nose, yawn and be depressed until they die after a short and confused carnival and happiness?
Forget ideology and talk about real life. The gap between the rich and the poor is getting bigger and bigger, which has exceeded the internationally recognized warning line. But modern scholars who occupy the high ground of public opinion say that this is a manifestation of social progress. The implication is that the gap between the rich and the poor should be further widened for the sake of social progress. A large number of state-owned assets are obviously stolen by privileged people in the name of "reform", but fashionable economists never miss any occasions and opportunities to defend them, saying that losses are extremely limited and inevitable, and blindly advocate that such "reform" should be carried out to the end without mentioning how to effectively prevent losses. What they mean is that those "bosses of state-owned enterprises" who enrich themselves are not only innocent, but also have made great contributions. This is a "fake reward". who is it? Although many bad bosses praised by scholars are imprisoned for failure, scholars' "false rewards" remain unchanged-alas, this is an individual phenomenon.
When "pseudo-appreciation" prevailed, the language such as "Who am I afraid of" only exposed the rogue face of street hooligans, and it was limited to "I", which was nothing; The most terrible thing is to instill chaotic thoughts into the public, paralyze people's nerves and make them "wrong" and "reward".
If it weren't for Professor Guma's disclosure, the new word "pseudo-appreciation" might be difficult to see the light of day again. I hope my essay can have a little influence on the word "pseudo-appreciation" at the grassroots level.
