After rebirth, I became a great writer

Chapter 266: It’s Always Been Like This, Isn’t It Right?—Diary of a Madman
The ancients said that the literati have six diseases, the disease cannot be controlled by the person, but in the heart, elegance is not in the matter, but in the heart!
One is obsession, the other is madness, the third is laziness, the fourth is ignorance, the fifth is clumsiness, and the sixth is pride!

Let's not mention other diseases for the time being, let's talk about madness and arrogance.

Kuang said: "There are lotus bells beside the road, and there are county pots in the city."The bird's hat is muddy, golden dung.The pen falls and the wind and rain startle, the roar is long but the world is narrow.

Ao said: "The child is half a couch hanging high, and he is still lying on the first floor of Yuanlong."Although the temples are green, the eyes are mostly white.Partially stick to the waist and bones to resist, not to make a margin for the skin.

It takes a lot of ink to explain, but to put it simply, it can be condensed into a couplet.

Shanglian: [Flowers fall with the waves, since ancient times, literati are so proud! 】

The second couplet: [Yunfei chasing the moon, Confucian scholars have always relied on their talents! 】

Horizontal comment: There are many things going on in the literati circle.
No, because Hongwen published a new book, a post owner wanted to gain popularity and said a few "big words without shame", which caused a storm in the circle.

And under the guidance of caring people, many web writers and traditional writers also commented, and the incident gradually turned into a debate.

In fact, there have always been conflicts between writers who write online novels and writers who write traditional literature, and it is common for them to disagree with each other.

Those who write traditional literature think that online novels are too vulgar. What they write is only to cater to readers, never considering the inner quality, and it is completely noob plus business.

Those who write online novels are very unhappy with the attitude of traditional literature writers. If you are noble, you can be noble. Why are you jealous that we have more readers and more money?

But I don't want to write it myself, so I point out the superiority feeling I don't know where I got it.

Therefore, the usual small frictions between the two sides continued one after another, but it was not as big as today.

Of course, the so-called big wars cannot roll up their sleeves and fight each other like butchers in the market, childish!vulgar!
Literati have always moved their mouths but not their hands. The battle between them is to pile up words to attack each other, and even write articles, small compositions to ridicule.

For example, on a literary forum, a writer has already written an article mocking him, and this person is the non-returner who started the prelude to the war.

Not long after he posted that post, he wrote another article with a few hundred words.

The content of the article is still full of insinuations and satires on the Internet, and of course there is a burst of output to Hongwen.

Under his leadership, some traditional literature writers who are more frivolous and displeased with reading online articles also began to write small articles.

The writers of Internet articles are not angry, and they also write articles to respond, but their articles are almost meaningless.

After all, writing an article requires literary skills, and you can't use vulgar language even if you swear, you need to pay attention to skills. So it really can't be compared.

Later, web writers also learned to be smart, and writing articles is no match. We can write jokes!

As a result, all kinds of jokes on the Internet came one after another, and it was a joy to fight against traditional writers, dedicating a wonderful text battle for readers.

"Hmph, vulgarity! Laity!"

A cold snort sounded in the study room. The source of the voice was a man with a chubby face and an octagonal beard.

This is none other than the non-returning guest, whose real name is Zhao Wenhua.

Regardless of the "culture" in his name, he is actually a writer engaged in literary theory and criticism of literary works.

His job is to carry out literary criticism, and the good name in the circle is to promote literary creation and influence the development of literary thought and literary theory.

To put it bluntly, he is just looking for faults, and he writes like a knife at every turn, saying this and saying that.

However, if you want to criticize others, your own literary theory and literary skills must not be weak.

Zhao Wenhua still has some skills, he can be regarded as a talented writer, and he has also written several famous traditional literary works under his name.

Although more than half of them are works of literary criticism, it is reasonable to say that they were also selected into national publishing houses for distribution.

In addition, he often "finds faults" and is considered a "celebrity" in the circle, so he was successfully elected as a probationary member of the Writers Association Headquarters.

It was only after going through ups and downs and going back and forth for several years when the "preparation" was removed that I finally became a full-time member. The reason was that I made too many enemies.

But even so, this is currently the youngest member of the Writers Association Headquarters, Zhao Wenhua is very proud and very proud.

With this complacency, the second problem of a literati is completely taken up, being arrogant and crazy, so he treats Chen Tianhong differently.

In his opinion, a child who is just 20 years old has only written a few science fiction novels, a few poems, and a martial arts novel, but martial arts novels are also popular literature, which are better than Internet and science fiction. .

This is how you can join the headquarters of the Writers Association?

Just go in, but why does he pick "preparation" just to go through a process, and he has to go through twists and turns, and it takes a lot of effort.

Just because he has many masters?
How many writers of the older generation like him?

So Zhao Wenhua's heart is extremely unbalanced. In his opinion, several works written by Hongwen are more or less flawed, and "Dragon Babu" is better.

As for the web articles, hehe, he didn't even bother to criticize.

If a person looks for faults with a picky eye, no matter how good your writing is, it will be useless.

Unless you can really write an article that makes him speechless, but it is too difficult, if you are Zhu Yanlin, then you can. Obviously, Chen Tianhong is not yet.

But unbalanced is unbalanced, and Zhao Wenhua also knew that he would not be able to prevent Chen Tianhong from becoming a full-time member at the Writers Association Congress.

Because there are not many writer friends in the same circle as him, and each of them has offended many people, so he has no advantage in the number of votes.

But he was not reconciled to Chen Tianhong taking the position so easily and taking away his halo, so Zhao Wenhua thought of a way, which was to stir up public opinion.

There is no chance of winning directly against Chen Tianhong, and it might cause a commotion. After all, Cao Xingkui, Feng Zijie, and Ren Changsong have much higher influence in the Writers Association than him.

Just when he was worried, Chen Tianhong published a new book, which was still an online article, and it also aroused a lot of enthusiasm on the literature forum.

In this way, the opportunity has come!

Zhao Wenhua was well aware of the relationship between web writers and traditional literature writers, so he used this as an excuse to trigger a big war and classify Chen Tianhong as a web writer.

In this way, it is possible to create waves for him to become a regular, and even get stuck for a year or two.

As for offending Cao Xingkui and the others, Du Huawen was not worried. Did he offend too few people?

People who engage in literary criticism have always been afraid of biting when there are too many lice, they only want to gain fame!
And whether Chen Tianhong will write a classic of traditional literature, Zhao Wenhua is not worried, traditional literature is easy to write, but it is too difficult to write a classic, even he has not written it, let alone a 20-year-old doll!

"A group of guys who write small white essays can only resist with vulgar jokes. It's so boring! How about I write another article to add fire? Forget it, let's take a look and see how the fire is going."

Zhao Wenhua was thinking to himself while he was still scrolling the mouse to browse through the posts.

He is quite satisfied with the current popularity of public opinion on the forum. Although not all writers who wrote traditional literature have come to an end, there are quite a few.

And people in his small circle are helping him, plus some trolls who watch the excitement and don't think it's a big deal, so their posts firmly occupy the first place on the homepage.

The only thing that displeased Zhao Wenhua was that Internet writers were not good at writing articles, and all of them were good at writing jokes. Some jokes were too much for him to bear, which was why Zhao Wenhua even called him vulgar.

Fortunately, his side has the upper hand on the field. After all, the war between literati is based on articles, not jokes!

In fact, Zhao Wenhua still has a regret, that is, Hongwen did not speak out, and he waited for Hongwen to speak out, and then responded with an article himself.

However, his regret was quickly made up for. A post that was posted in less than 10 minutes quickly made it to the homepage of the forum and made it into the top ten.

The reason for this result is very simple, the post was written by Hongwen.

"Hehe, I really want to do whatever I want. I'm not afraid of your voice, but I'm afraid of your silence. Hey, what does this mean?"

After Zhao Wenhua saw the title of the post posted by Hongwen, he muttered in doubt.

[It's always been like this, right? ——Record the daily notes of a "madman"]

"It's always been like this, right? What? What has always been like this? A record of a madman?"

Zhao Wenhua looked confused, but it was also expected, he guessed that Hongwen would post a post to diss himself, after all, according to Hongwen's previous temperament, this is not difficult to guess.

"Hongwen! I hope you don't let me down. You must stand on their side, so that the writers of the Writers Association will be upset."

"Hehe, is this madman talking about me or yourself? I'd like to see what you can write."

[Hongwen]: I didn't expect that I could attract so much attention from everyone when I posted a post. I'm really flattered!

I took a look at everyone's debate posts, and there are only two points of debate!One is online and traditional literature, and the other is about me.
Let me talk about the first one first. As far as I know, the debate between Internet literature and traditional literature has existed since the beginning of Internet literature.

In everyone's perception, online literature is not as good as traditional literature, and there are dozens of reasons for this, so I won't give examples one by one.

I want to ask, has it always been like this, right?

Let’s think about it more than 100 years ago. In that era, feudal ethics was the main body, and the derived culture was also controlled. Whenever a new culture sprouted, it would attract criticism from everyone.

Later, with the development of the times, the new culture gradually occupied the mainstream, forming our current literature.

Looking at it from the perspective of our era today, the new culture is correct, but at that time, who was right and who was wrong?

So in my opinion, whether it is online literature or traditional literature, there is a reason for its existence. There is really no need to argue about whether it is high or low, and leave the problem to time. When the waves wash away the sand, time will prove everything.

Feeling everyone's quarrels, feeling the feudal ethics and culture in the past, and even feeling some people's articles, I also wrote an article.

The point of view of the article is from a "madman", let's call it "Diary of a Madman"!

"When did this kid learn to be smart? He seems to be on the side of the web writers in his words, but his words are not leaking. It's a good sentence. Leave the problem to time. It's a good sentence. It's always been like this, right?"

Seeing the few paragraphs written by Hongwen earlier, Zhao Wenhua said hello twice.

Judging from the current public opinion, whichever side Hongwen is on will offend the other.

If he posts online literature, then the writers of traditional literature will definitely be upset, and if he posts traditional literature writers, then his "king of Internet literature" should not be considered anymore.

Of course, neutrality is not enough, and there is no way for public opinion to make him neutral. The best way is to make peace, but it is not so easy to make peace, and it might offend both parties.

But now it seems that Hongwen is successful. First of all, his attitude is definitely to stand up for online literature, but he does not attack traditional literature.

Instead, an example is given, and this example makes the writers of traditional literature unable to find fault.

There are many problems in online literature, but can it have as many problems as feudal literature that restricts human nature?

the answer is negative
"It's a pity that this kid is smart and smart, but his temperament has not changed. He is really young and frivolous! Hehe, I feel that some people's articles are talking about me. They want to write articles to fight me back? Huh? "Madman" journal"."

"Hehe, I want to see how you hit back at me, writing satirical articles? Don't you know what I do!"

Seeing the second half, Zhao Wenhua started to sneer again.

Originally, he was confused by Hongwen's first hand and muddy mud, and he didn't know where to start. Now, Hongwen is going to write an article, which seems to be a satirical article.

Compared to this, Zhao Wenhua is much more energetic, and the sleepiness at night is gone!

Straighten your collar and get ready to fight!

However, before fighting, read the enemy's article.

[Preface to the Diary of a Madman]: A certain gentleman, Kunzhong, now hides his name. They are all good friends from the middle school in the past. After many years of separation, the news gradually disappeared. The question will not be changed.

"Hehe, the preface is still written in classical Chinese, which is interesting. Nothing wrong with it, it's feudal literature!"

After reading the more than 200 words of the preface, Zhao Wenhua clicked his tongue.

With his knowledge, it is naturally easy to see, the preface generally means that a certain person is called Kunzhong, who is "my" good friend in middle school.

Many years later, I accidentally found out that he was seriously ill. Just when "I" went back to my hometown, I stopped by to visit him. I found out that it was his younger brother who was sick.

During this period, he took out two volumes of diaries, which recorded the records of his younger brother's illness. "I" knew that his younger brother was suffering from a "persecution maniac" or other illness.

The language recorded in the diary is quite chaotic and disorderly, and there are many absurd words. The title of the book was written by the patient after he recovered from illness, so it is called "Diary of a Madman".

But Zhao Wenhua understood it, but he didn't know what Hongwen wanted to express when he wrote this paragraph?
Does it mean that "Diary of a Madman" was written randomly by a patient suffering from "persecution mania"?

What is the special meaning of this?
It wasn't until he saw the vernacular in the text below that he suddenly realized.

"Write the preface in classical Chinese, and write the main text in vernacular. Classical Chinese is a cultural form belonging to the feudal class, and vernacular represents the new contemporary culture. This can give people a sense of opposition and refutation."

"Hehe, does it have another meaning? Classical Chinese represents traditional literature, and vernacular Chinese represents Internet literature."

【One】: Tonight, the moonlight is very good.

I haven't seen him for more than 30 years; seeing him today, I am very refreshed.Only then did I realize that the previous 30-odd years were all in a daze; however, one must be very careful.

Otherwise, why did Zhao's dog look at me twice?

After reading the first paragraph of the text, Zhao Wenhua was stunned.

The "I" in the article is the madman, and it can be seen that the protagonist is careful about something, what is it about?

He didn't say anything specifically, but the last sentence "the Zhao family's dog" made him live in Bengbu. Does his surname Zhao Hongwen imply him?
Immediately following the second paragraph,
[There is no moonlight today, I know it's not good.When going out carefully in the morning, Zhao Guiweng gave strange eyes: he seems to be afraid of me, seems to want to harm me.There are seven or eight people who are whispering about me.]

【I'm not afraid, I still go my way.A group of children in front were also talking about me; their eyes were the same as Zhao Guiweng's. I wonder what enmity I have with children? .I see, this is what their mother taught me! 】

"Fuck me! Your uncle Hongwen, who are you going to let go of this connotation? You can't curse people at the connotation!"

After reading the second paragraph, Zhao Wenhua had an epiphany, he didn't rub it, he was connoting himself.

how to explain?

Well, explain in the next chapter!
(End of this chapter)
