Recently, it has been discovered that many children from the media short video platform are playing tricks and selling cute, and even intentionally take scripts written by adults to educate adults in the opposite direction to love their wives and honor the elderly. On the whole, oral literature and static "performance" are the mainstay, which is noisy and generally quiet. However, there are some short videos that are very exciting. For example, in Shanwei, Guangdong Province, a girl came on stage to perform Tiger and Lion Boxing, which was powerful and full of gas. In singing and dancing, Chaoshan area, there are hordes of seven or eight-year-old children in front, seventeen or eighteen-year-old boys behind, which is very spectacular, and there is a singing and dancing performance team composed of special little girls.
This masculine and dynamic cultural form itself allows people to see the spirit of contemporary teenagers and deeply feel that "the country is strong when young people are strong" and there is hope for the future.
One yin and one yang is called Tao. This is true for individuals, and so is culture, which has nothing to do with gender itself. One hundred and forty thousand people are disarmed, and none of them is a man? The masculinity of a nation is righteousness, backbone, courage and awe-inspiring. This thing is related to the backbone and vigor, and everyone should have it, regardless of men, women and children. With this spirit, personality will not be reconciled, life will have temperature, and society will be sunny enough. Hua Mulan, She Taijun, Mu Guiying, Liang Hongyu, Qiu Jin, Liu Hulan, Jiang Zhujun, Yue Fei, Xin Qiji, Yu Qian, Wen Tianxiang, Chen Tianhua, Yang Jingyu, and Huang Jiguang made us full of passion and tears, just because they had such a spirit. Only with this spirit, can we have a vision pattern of swallowing Wan Li like a tiger, a great love and kindness that everything is ready for me, and a courage to walk the world with my head held high. If you wriggle there every day, feel sorry for yourself, be selfish, paint your face, and be beautiful, how can there be thousands of beautiful rivers and mountains and fireworks?
When people talk about "northerners and southerners", they are not the north and south in the geographical sense, but the yin and yang in the personality state; When people of insight find that femininity "goes north" and masculinity "goes south", they are not talking about new differences in regional culture, but that femininity in northern culture is getting stronger and stronger, while masculinity in southern culture is getting stronger and stronger, which is concentrated in cultural landscapes, especially tourist scenes. Such obvious differences in cultural personality or cultural performance style may be a major topic worthy of careful study. Cultural self-confidence is essentially an innate sense of pride, which has little to do with memorizing hundreds of Tang poems. How many people have read books for decades, and their minds are full of "Zi Yue Shi Yun" plus "Joyce, Novalis, Marquez, Borges", and the famous aphorisms about integrity and courage and integrity are memorized, but they have no courage to go back to the village to give money to their relatives and followers. If you can’t live a good life with your eyes twinkling and people bowing, how can you be masculine?
In the Tao Te Ching, it is said that "everything is done without care, without it, it is not to rely on it, but to live a life that is unnatural, natural and daring to be natural". Everyone should live proudly, be rich, have a hand, be talented, have food, be beautiful, have a cat, have a land, have a brother … Be proud of what you have, and be confident in what you have. Isn’t this masculinity coming? So you don’t have to be short all the time? Don’t blame the world for being too snobbish, but it’s always not masculine at heart. This is true for adults, especially for teenagers. In the English Lion Dance Team or singing and dancing, boys and girls are full of masculinity and smiling, and no one in the team looks depressed because they failed in the final exam or attended a vocational school. Go outdoors more, run and jump more, fight more, take part in some cultural activities with strong action, take advantage of "youth", watch more "martial arts dramas" with hands and feet all by strength, and watch less literary dramas with intrigue all by acting skills, which is good for your health, good mood and future. It would be great if singing and dancing danced on CCTV and had a "Lantern Festival" with the audience, especially the children who are facing school anxiety.
