Phenomenon: The grass-roots culture has risen.
From p>25 to 26, from the "super girl" craze to the "Hugues" craze, from Degang Guo in Beijing to Cai Jialiang in Shanghai ... "Grass-roots culture" with unscrupulous style came from the people.
"Net Bull" Hu Ge and the most important "steamed bread" in history. "A small steamed bun caused a shocking bloody case, but an innocent child was distorted by a trivial matter ... The case is confusing, please watch the 25 special edition of Legal Online-A Bloody Case Caused by a Steamed Bread ..." On January 1, 26, the funny version of Promise-A Steamed Bread Caused by a Netizen Hu Ge. The most weighty "steamed bread" brewed by him in the history of entertainment also caused the famous director Chen Kaige to file a lawsuit against him, which subsequently caused numerous cultural disputes and various legal interpretations, igniting the first "fire" in 26.
Degang Guo, a "genius" who is popular all over the country. "Hello, everyone, I am a non-famous crosstalk performer-Degang Guo." In November, 25, the name Degang Guo shot to fame on the Internet, and soon became the person with the highest exposure rate in all kinds of domestic media. In less than two months, people watched him change from an unknown grassroots artist to a busier celebrity than Li Yong, and also put out the "dying" traditional crosstalk. It can be said that the hottest girl in 25 was Super Girl. In the year-end inventory in 26, at least the spicy chicken that was popular in the first half of the year can be given to Degang Guo, the "super boy".
Cai Jialiang's talk show is full of responses. If you want to ask what is the most popular place in Shanghai at present, then the answer is neither a bar party nor a cinema theater, but a little-known teahouse talk show. At the time when the teahouse crosstalk led by Degang Guo was a smash hit, the "grassroots culture" in Shanghai was gradually known by more people along with this folk craze. From the "Tujia slag-dropping sesame seed cake" that swept the city not long ago to the talk show of Cai Jialiang, a southern comedian who was talked about by everyone, the citizens who have always advertised fashion have made no secret of their love for this popular culture.
Discussion: Can the grass-roots culture reach elegance
Why does the seemingly conventional "grass-roots culture" attract people? Yan Shunkai, a famous comedian, once wrote a conclusion for Degang Guo: "Don't underestimate the power of Tianqiao in Beijing and the tricks of the Shanghai world. The more grassroots artists come out of this place, the more they understand what the audience likes to watch." That makes sense. "Grass-roots culture" is different from "temple culture". It doesn't need the so-called elegant art of "preaching with a straight face", and its greatest capital for success is its zero distance and heart-to-heart connection with the people of Xialiba. The "grass-roots culture" rooted in the folk and naturally growing has a natural affinity for the broad audience, and its "folk" identity is more easily recognized by the public. Compared with elegant culture or elite culture, "grassroots culture" is obviously closer to life, more vivid and full of vitality, and has tenacious vitality.
However, when more and more "grass-roots culture" appears in our sight as "heroes", and when all vulgarity, boredom and parody are labeled as "grass-roots culture" and then "worth a hundred times", we have to face the fact that "grass-roots culture" is not synonymous with excellent culture, which contains both essence and dross. The original ecological things are not necessarily excellent, and the living things are not necessarily worth promoting.
However, Qing's herbal medicine is rooted, so why is it so elegant? This poem tells the real dilemma of "grass-roots culture". Because the representatives of grassroots culture, whether they are "super girls" or Degang Guo, are regarded as "vulgar". Some famous artists criticized Degang Guo for using all kinds of jokes for the sake of theater effect, thus losing his art. When Wang Yang sued Degang Guo for reconciliation, he made a condition: "Degang Guo and Deyun Society promised not to talk about vulgar cross talk again." In response to Cai Jialiang, who became popular in Shanghai, the chairman of the Shanghai Quyi Artists Association also said: "They are not professional actors. As chairman, I just want to say three things. First, it is not easy for Cai Yuliang and others; Second, they are not talking about Quyi; Third, they themselves admit that they are not talking about Quyi. " Look at this, it makes the grassroots feel chilling.
"Vulgarity" is not bad, and many "elegant arts" enshrined in the art halls today were also "grassroots cultures". From The Book of Songs to National Style, from Song Ci Yuan Qu to Peking Opera known as National Opera, all of them came from the folk, and all of them experienced the development process from the folk to the official, from the grassroots to the temple, and from the perceptual to the rational. Under the surface of many "grassroots cultures", there is a profound cultural essence.

The great poet Qu Yuan turned out to be the "brand spokesperson" of a pig feed! This is not a joke, but a news that happened a few days ago in Yueyang City, Hunan Province, where Qu Yuan was killed. After the matter was disclosed by the media, public opinion was in an uproar.
Many local people expressed their indignation: Do factory owners have any respect for culture when they sell pig feed under Qu Yuan's brand? How can the industrial and commercial departments pass such trademarks? Some experts in the cultural field believe that it is undoubtedly ruining our culture to spoof and desecrate our ancestors.
"excellent works" and "cheers" keep coming
The wind of spoofing inside and outside the network is getting worse
The spoof farce is not unique. Not long ago, a seafood festival was held in a city in Northeast China. A vendor selling stinky tofu actually put a photo of Lu Xun on the booth. Four big characters next to it were striking: It stinks for a long time, and there was an advertisement saying: Lu Xun tasted stinky tofu for three days and didn't know the taste of meat. Faced with such "creativity", many people said: such stinky tofu can't be eaten.
In fact, weird "creativity" like this is not uncommon in both the real world and the virtual world. In the past two years, a spoof has quietly emerged on the Internet, and it is getting worse. The reporter noticed that a "literary script"-"A boring feast" was widely circulated on the Internet recently. The script tells the story of a real estate owner who only builds houses for the rich, and under the planning of entertainment reporters, he changed his name and entered the entertainment circle. In the "script", nearly 1 cultural celebrities, entertainment stars and real estate celebrities were either "braised", "boiled" or "steamed" and collectively put on an "entertainment dinner".
In addition to words, it is even more fashionable to spoof by using pictures, short messages, cartoons, etc.: the honest official Bao Gong in people's minds has become a "lecherous", the loyal Guan Gong has become a "rogue", and the Monkey King has become an "illegitimate child" ... On the Internet, similar "masterpieces" are often applauded once they are launched.
in a sense, in today's increasingly diversified personal values, spoofing is not a scourge. As long as it doesn't violate the law and violate the privacy of others, it is not bad to make fun of parents' short stories and anecdotes to amuse everyone. If the theme is properly chosen and the technique is novel, it may even warn people and things who don't talk about civilization and ignore public morality. However, the current problem is that in order to attract people's attention, some people's works are becoming increasingly vulgar, taking boredom as fun and oily as humor, which tarnishes people's original beautiful characters. To make matters worse, the spreading effect of spoof has also inspired some shrewd businessmen, just like the above-mentioned "pig feed" and "stinky tofu", who make gimmicks with cultural celebrities for economic benefits and pursue nondescript advertising effects.
care for the roots and nourish future generations
be awed by excellent cultural traditions
Some pranksters may be unhappy in life and want to express themselves through such an outlet. However, no matter what the motive is, it is not appropriate to take some real celebrities for malicious jokes, and some may even be suspected of infringing others' reputation rights.
Some experts say that China is an ancient civilization with a history of thousands of years, and its solemn and elegant oriental charm constitutes the gene and main line of culture. No matter how the times change, its solemn and atmospheric style will last for a long time. Although culture needs to keep pace with the times to maintain its vigorous vitality, its roots still need careful care. To put it bluntly, our culture contains too many deep elements, and cultural celebrities, as one of its inheritance symbols, can't stand the spoof, let alone slander it.
The Internet is a highly free space. It seems unrealistic to eradicate spoof completely, so we can only strengthen guidance. Even if it is purely as a form of entertainment, spoofing should be restrained and limited. Please don't take our culture casually. Relevant supervisors should make a good pass and have more cultural discrimination. Fortunately, some cultural heritages began to be specially protected by law. However, it is impossible for the law to cover every corner of the ocean of culture. Only people's inner moral rules and awe of culture can play the role of self-discipline, otherwise, more people may suffer.
Some netizens said, "Any nation or country, regardless of its history, social system and wealth, is proud of its national culture. Culture needs to supplement healthy blood and nutrition, so that it can develop healthily, be passed down from generation to generation and nourish future generations. What will it mean for excellent history and culture to spoof without any rules? A few years later, how can we show this chapter to future generations? "
