From Yu Dan to Meng Man, the masters of Chinese traditional culture have become cultural clowns, and their fame and reputation are destined to be short-lived. Do you agree?

Many people like Chinese studies. Teachers Yu Dan and Mengman both promote Chinese studies. They shine in some cultural programs and make everyone remember them. However, they have some problems in some occasions. The same opinion makes everyone feel that they are not worthy of their name. Finally, they left our sight!

1. From smash hit to image collapse

Yu Dan, a professor at Beijing Normal University, is good at hosting, not cultural interpretation. However, she became popular with her interpretation of "The Analects of Confucius". Yu Dan used a modern way of thinking to interpret "The Analects of Confucius", which was refreshing to everyone.

This feels like the author of "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" who uses popular language to describe ancient books and chapters, which makes people feel very interesting and willing to read them.

Teacher Yu Dan’s eloquent talk at the Baijia Forum amazed everyone. Everyone paid a lot of attention to this program, which made Teacher Yu Dan feel popular. She not only publishes books, but also gives lectures. These fees are far more than what she pays for being a teacher. Maybe it was this experience that gave her a different feeling. She was no longer a teacher, but a businessman.

As a businessman, you have to make a profit. When you gave a speech at Peking University, you just told the students some chicken soup, which caused dissatisfaction among the students. This was something that Teacher Yu Dan did not expect.

In a business environment, it can be said that chicken soup, although these chicken soups are toxic to some people. Teacher Yu Dan feels that there is no problem with this interpretation.

What makes her questionable is her behavior. When she was staying in a hotel in the UK, she was dissatisfied and asked to change hotels. After changing to several hotels, she became angry and scolded her assistant and translator. This matter was exposed.

Many people did not expect that a gentle and elegant woman would scold someone in public. Even if the assistant made a mistake, she could not scold him in front of him, because it would make the assistant very embarrassed.

As a scholar, his quality should be very high and he should not behave in such an indecent manner. Look at Guo Degang. He was rumored to have a relationship with Wang Mengting. Although this rumor was refuted by Wang Mengting, Guo Degang had no reaction. He just wrote a message on social networks: On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, pinch the mouth of the villain.

In the face of other people's slander, he has no intention of arguing and is unwilling to say more. Just use this way to express your attitude. He didn't go to college, but he was very educated.

Teacher Yu Dan is a literate person, but her behavior is uneducated. You may have been angry at the time, but the result was that your image was damaged. Teacher Yu Dan did not explain this matter in public, and may still teach and educate people in universities, but her approach is contrary to the cautious words and deeds in "The Analects of Confucius".

Not only her, but also Teacher Mengman. Teacher Mengman's teaching style is unique. She lectures in the "Hundred Schools of Lectures". She introduces questions and then answers them in an easy-to-understand way, which arouses excitement.

2. From Interpreter to Fallen from the Altar

Teacher Mengman’s parents are university teachers. She has also been quite educated since she was a child and writes 50 books for herself every year. The book list will not let go of classic books.

It was also these readings that allowed her to accumulate cultural literacy, and it was also these efforts that made her successful. In "Lectures of Hundreds of Schools", she first talked about Wu Zetian, raised various questions, and then interpreted them. Many people found it very interesting after listening.

Because "Hundred Schools Forum" faces not only students, but people from all walks of life, including all kinds of teachings and streams. She uses humorous language to spread historical knowledge, making it refreshing for everyone.

When she lectured, the seats were almost full. She became a famous lecturer in "Hundreds of Forums", which also made her famous. Many programs invited her to comment on the scene, including the "Chinese Poetry Conference".

In this cultural program, Teacher Mengman also commented eloquently, allowing everyone to appreciate her masterpieces as well as her humor. However, there was a problem when she reviewed "Sympathy for the Peasants".

She said that "Compassion for the Farmers" is about planting crops. Is this wrong? It was noon on the day of hoeing. This hoeing was supposed to be about weeding, and it didn't seem to have anything to do with planting crops. It is also acceptable to say that growing crops includes activities such as planting and weeding.

However, the interpretation of "Spring Night Joyful Rain" is that Sichuan people eat hot pot, which is a bit far-fetched.

Although Sichuan people like to eat hot pot, the feeling of "Spring Night Rain" is the author's concern for the world. This kind of feeling is a relatively large pattern.

More importantly, the interpretation of "Wo Yi Lane" is a bit too much. "In the old days, the swallow in front of the king's hall flew into the homes of ordinary people." This swallow flew to the house of change.

Liu Yuxi’s environment is not one of social change, but of troubled times. What he mainly expresses is the process of the old wealthy families being annihilated due to changes in personnel. It is related to change, but it is not a house of change.

Everyone's admiration for Teacher Mengman has decreased, and they feel that her interpretation of poetry has become slobbery. Can cultural interpretation be colloquial? It's okay, but if it's too colloquial, it's a bit vulgar.

Teacher Mengman’s popularity has gradually declined, and everyone’s awareness of educated people has increased. As cultural disseminators, they still make certain contributions, but they lower the level of cultural knowledge, which many people don't like.

Cultural interpretation varies from person to person. Just to satisfy some people’s aesthetic tastes, we cannot assume that the public has the same aesthetic taste. It is conceivable that they are despised for their behavior.

3. The understanding of culture varies from person to person and cannot be forced.

Teacher Yu Dan and Teacher Mengman have no big problem with their interpretation of culture. It may be due to their fame. It's too big, everyone's expectations for them are too high, and they are not allowed to have any flaws. When they have problems, everyone cannot tolerate them, and eventually they fall from the altar.

Some people say that in the Internet age, knowledge is treated equally. Possibly, but it requires relevant cultural reserves. Yu Dan and Meng Man have good cultural reserves and can interpret a lot of cultural knowledge, but they may not understand it if it deviates from the public's perception.

For example, Ma Weidu once said that the bed with the bright moonlight in front of the bed is not the bed we are familiar with, but a Mazha. This made many people wonder, was the teacher at that time lying to him?

Not only this, but also Sima Guang smashed the vat. Many people think that this vat is what we understand now. However, Mr. Ma Weidu said that according to the unearthed cultural relics, the vat only appeared in the Southern Song Dynasty and the Northern Song Dynasty. , should be an urn. There is an idiom called "Please enter the urn!"

This knowledge requires considerable cultural reserves, but it does not mean that if we don’t know it, we can’t understand it independently. Although cultural figures such as Yu Dan and Meng Man have their own interpretations of culture, people are willing to interpret cultural knowledge themselves.

Some people will say that interpretation without cultural reserves may be meaningless. Don’t be afraid if you make a mistake, let alone feel embarrassed. It will also be a promotion for everyone to point it out and correct it yourself. As the saying goes: live and learn!

Cultural knowledge is something that everyone should have. It would also be good if teachers Yu Dan and Mengman could interpret the culture well and let us appreciate it.

However, they chose a colloquial interpretation and gave some incorrect knowledge, which somewhat misled everyone. As for whether they will apologize in private, I don't know.

Many people feel that the collapse of the images of Yu Dan and Meng Man is actually due to their misunderstanding of knowledge. It is okay for ordinary people to misunderstand knowledge. But they can't, because their image is the disseminator of culture.

They should learn cultural knowledge with piety and preach with a down-to-earth heart, rather than for temporary fame. I hope they will spread more valuable knowledge in the future of their lives!

Write at the end:

Educated people speak civilized words and do civilized things. Teacher Yu Dan's words and deeds were inconsistent, causing her image to be damaged; Teacher Mengman's interpretation of the poem was flawed, causing her to fall from the altar. Such a famous cultural person can make mistakes, let alone ordinary people like us.

Understanding culture and learning knowledge is to improve one's own cultural quality and to make one's spiritual realm higher. It’s not about gaining fame or reputation, nor is it about being a cultural clown, what do you think?
