I Have a Request Your Majesty Last Chapter

Regarding Zheng Banqiao, first, being obsessed with beautiful boys was a fashion for the literati of the Qing Dynasty. Zheng Banqiao expressed his admiration for Shota without any hesitation, which shows that the society's tolerance for homoS3xuality at that time was far beyond the imagination of ordinary people in modern times. People like Li Yu who looked down upon homoS3xuality became an outlier. The political, business, and literary giants of the Qing Dynasty were all proud of their pursuit of Liyuan actors. Wang Zijie, the first brother of Kunqu Opera, was very famous. Qian Qianyi, Gong Dingzi, and Wu Weiye, the three great masters from Jiangsu and Zuo, all wrote countless disgusting poems dedicated to him and were fascinated by him.

Second, pretending to be poor and indifferent is one of the hobbies of Chinese literati. They flaunt themselves as noble and exaggerate their predicament. In many cases, it is also a kind of literary modification, in order to pity and hurt themselves, exaggerate emotions, win sympathy and even win sponsorship. and other purposes.

I quoted it in the article, but Lu Xun said directly that Zheng Banqiao both inscribed a "letter from home" and carved it out for others to read, which "cannot help but be a bit pretentious." His so-called "rarely confused" is just "showing a bit of the grumbling spirit of a celebrity" by crossing his arms and legs.

The split personality and self-contradiction shown by Zheng Banqiao can be seen in literati of all ages, and even in each of us. On the one hand, they hate the rich, but on the other hand, they wish they were rich; on the other hand, they scold the unspoken rules, and on the other hand, they stuff red envelopes to find connections; on the other hand, they hate social injustice, but they feel proud or secretly happy if they enjoy privileges. In fact, everyone has multiple personalities. When I write about Zheng Banqiao's hypocrisy, it is not a form of introspection. It's just that our mainstream propaganda will particularly exaggerate a certain personality of a historical figure, and at the same time eliminate the possibility of multiple elements coexisting in the same person. People are used to monism. You tell them that complexity is normal, but they don't listen anymore and feel comfortable living in lies.

It is much more rational to like a person because of his main characteristics than to like a person because of his perfection. Because perfection itself is a pseudo-word that has gone through numerous processes of beautification, sublimeness, and moralization.
