Comments 丨 Ge Weison Literature, one claims to "see through"

Why a first -person change can produce a very significant semantic change?

In the past two days, there was a stalk, "Brother Literature" -This is the ridicule of netizens' ridicule for Jay Chou. Jay Chou seems to have a strong attachment to the "brother". Whether it is daily dynamic or released songs, "Brother" often appears in the song. For example, the first sentence of the new album "The Great Works" first is "Brother wearing a retro suit"; in addition, there is also "if you want to rely on your pectoral muscles if you don't love me".

To be honest, I was surprised when I first saw these lyrics. "Brother" claims to be herself at the atmosphere of the society, but he did not expect that he was written in the song seriously. However, it ’s nothing to think about it. There is also a curse in the Book of Songs." Hu Buyu dies ". Mei Yaochen even wrote" toilet "into the poem. It is normal for artistic creation to have some procedures.

It seems that fans also like his style very much, with a touch of real cuteness in the earth. Indeed, compared to the tuning of the cavity and the elegance of the mediocrity, it is better to claim to be "brother" generously, but there is a unbearable attitude. Many netizens also started to imitate this style, and changed the "I" in many songs to "brother". Sure enough, the style of painting changed greatly, and the earth smell came.

But think about it, why can a first -person change can produce a very significant semantic change? The self -proclaimed self -proclaimed self -proclaimed "brother" and "grandfather" can seem to emerge in the mind of a person?

This is actually a very interesting cultural phenomenon, which is also the characteristics of oriental culture to some extent. In English, there is only one "i", but there are more self -proclaiming Chinese in Chinese. In ancient Chinese, there were "I, I, 卬, Yu, Yu, and I". , Fool, below, and despicable people "are even more unknown. Japanese is actually similar, "servants, private, 俺, self -splitting" and various expressions that are written in the same Chinese characters but pronounce different pronunciations.

These claims to have special significance, either self -modest, proud, or revealing their identity, or expressing their own personality. And not just claiming to be self -proclaimed, and the other party and others have a long string of fancy expression. These titles have jointly formed a complex cultural system that contains a cultural password that can only be solved by "locals".

I believe everyone remembers that the Internet name "is the same": In the TV series "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Guan Yu claims to be "a certain", Zhang Fei is "俺"; Same". If the two claims to be the same, there is no such comedy effect, and it completely deviates from the character image. It can be seen that a small self -proclaiming can open up such a large interpretation space and make a definition judgment on a person's overall style, which is enough to let us "see through".

The reason why this phenomenon is of course complicated is that it may be related to the emphasis on interpersonal relationships by Orientals. There are also a lot of papers specifically discussed for this. We just need to understand that "Ge Weibi Literature" can actually appear, which actually has a special cultural background. Of course, this is essentially a network stalk, a netizen's inadvertent discovery, but it also touches some cores in our culture. In addition to interesting, the meaning behind this is also worth touching.
