In recent years, the cultural ancestors and historical celebrities of the Chinese nation have become more and more busy, and they often become the protagonists of certain activities, and it is our government departments at all levels that promote them. Of course, it has always been the slogan of "promoting traditional culture".

In recent years, public sacrifices have been criticized, exaggerated, wasteful and extravagant. Compared with others ... these sacrifices are often large in scale and expensive, and the questioned government departments no longer stand up, so people's sacrifices came into being. As soon as the government expressed its support, everything began to "spontaneously".

It seems to be a good phenomenon that the government has liberalized public affairs, the people have actively participated, and public sacrifices have begun to become sacrifices for the people. But the public sacrifice has become a folk sacrifice, which is actually a change of form. Everything is spontaneous, but it's just another way of saying it. I really don't see any difference. The same scale, the same luxury. What may change is high-sounding names and serious statements.

Hancheng is the hometown of the great Shi Sheng Sima Qian. The descendants of Sima family have been mourning their ancestors according to the traditional sacrificial way of China people. As early as 20 1 1 year, Hancheng held a large-scale folk sacrifice for Sima Qian, and this time, under the "arrangement", the descendants of Sima turned this family-style internal ceremony into a public performance. Hundreds of descendants of Sima family knelt on the ground together, knocking three times and kneeling nine times. All the publicity reports have repeatedly reiterated that this sacrifice is a folk sacrifice activity. People at the activity site spontaneously came from Hancheng or Xi 'an, making the sacrifice more folk. The whole process is no longer full of speeches by officials at all levels, but through the way that netizens spontaneously sacrifice long scrolls and drive to participate in sacrifices.

China people are born with the heart to worship their ancestors. Ancestors are the totem of China people, and offering sacrifices to ancestors is a sacred ceremony in the hearts of China people. But is it blasphemy to perform ancestor worship in public? I don't know how the descendants of Sima made such behavior. How many memories of their ancestors do they have in their hearts under this form of sacrifice? Many people will say that Sima Qian, as a famous historical figure, should be commemorated by the whole world. Yes, Sima Qian is the Sima Qian of the world, but he is only the ancestor of Sima's descendants.

Even Sima Qian, as a famous historical and cultural figure, all China people should pay homage, so what is the significance of our memorial? Have infinite reverence for Shi Sheng's heritage and love for China culture? Look at our respect for tradition. In 20 13, a horse sacrifice was held in Sima Qian scenic spot, but after the sacrifice, the flowerpots were looted. March 30th, 20 14, Huang Juhua, another folk sacrifice, the same scale, the same ceremony, the same chrysanthemum dregs. Some people even think that Tai Shigong, who lived more than 2 100 years ago, can help him solve the case. In the development and transformation of Sima Scenic Area, some relocated households made a fuss about paying homage, but a sacred memorial ceremony turned into a farce.

This is a sacrifice to return to tradition, but where is the traditional culture at this time? Maybe when the descendants of Sima knock three times and kneel nine times; Perhaps when the host dressed up for the eulogy, the remnants of traditional culture once appeared in people's hearts for a while, but after the sacrifice, everything returned to its original appearance, so what's the point of pursuing tradition? Sages need to worship, so does Shi Sheng, but how much traditional culture is left?

For this kind of sacrifice, in fact, from the beginning, we can't put the responsibility of reviving China's traditional culture on it. Everyone knows that this is just an activity, a bustling carnival, and it has nothing to do with sacrifice. It's just that Sima's descendants kowtowed to their ancestors under countless spotlights and countless pairs of eyes. What are they thinking?

"The world is bustling for profit; Everything in the world is beneficial. " Moreover, behind this prosperity, there is no official participation in folk sacrifices, and even the names of government agencies have not appeared in the organizers and co-organizers of 20 14. So is this really a spontaneous folk sacrifice? Or, is this really just the spontaneous behavior of Sima descendants and Sima Qian fans? If so, what are the leading enterprises and businessmen who have long been unable to make money doing?

The organizers of this activity are enterprises under the banner of "Wentou", and their participation further shows that this sacrifice is actually a secret crossing of "selling dog meat". In fact, Sima Qian is no longer a literate Sima Qian, let alone a Shi Sheng Sima Qian, but has become a tree, a Huang Jinshu that can shake down countless gold ingots.

Ask not how to raise money, ask not how to spend it. Everyone has a responsibility in this sacrifice. Some people are responsible for acting, some are responsible for setting up the stage, some are responsible for order, and let the traffic police post tickets on the spot. In this folk-led sacrificial activity, Sima's hometown is so proud and gorgeous.

Enterprises spend so much money to engage in large-scale activities naturally have corresponding rich returns, and the development of cultural industries cannot be separated from commercial traction. It is not difficult for us to think that the interests behind this blend, the superficial cultural tourism, is actually enclosure and tourism real estate. It is not difficult to imagine that this is also the normal mode of enterprise operation.

In recent years, countless cultural celebrities have been paying homage to Sima Qian, a world cultural celebrity, and Hancheng, a famous historical and cultural city, has become increasingly crowded. Under the focus of countless eyes, many people naturally see huge business opportunities. The development potential of this famous historical and cultural city has been coveted for a long time. Bulldozers roared day after day in this small town, and the ancient city of Hancheng with a long history and culture was demolished and built, which caused great controversy from the beginning, but it could not stop the pace. In fact, it is not too much to develop scenic spots and use all resources. Even if the demolition and construction of the ancient city causes great controversy, it is also an inevitable reform pain for developing cities. Under the guise of paying homage to the sages, it is always uncomfortable to put all this in the sacred tradition of ancestor worship in China, using ancestors as tools and future generations as actors, overdrawing historical resources and creating a cultural bubble.

Respecting the sacred Fazu is an old adage. Sima Qian, the three emperors and five emperors, should be the sacrifice of everyone, but he kept saying that he wanted to protect the cultural heritage, depending on the whole "literary investment", but even the trademark "Sima Qian" developed by tourism did not apply for protection. I am afraid that such a sacrifice is not even a veil, leaving naked interests directly.
