summer season has become popular.
The domestic film has been waiting for this hit for too long - " Walking Alone on the Moon ".
The box office exceeded 300 million within 9 hours of its official release. The number of screenings on the opening day broke the record for domestic films. The box office is predicted to be 2 billion, 5 billion, or even 7 billion...
But today, Sir wants to talk about another thing .
In this summer, they fell into the ice cellar.
comic show.
Across the country, postponements and cancellations are being made due to force majeure...
Many anime fans who were full of expectations, their expectations were instantly dashed.
But some people clapped and applauded: "Well done" and "You deserve it."
Animation and the second dimension may be facing unprecedented changes.
matter, how did it get to this step step by step?
1
The problem first appeared in the " Summer Festival " event.
On July 17, the Summer Festival event that was supposed to be held in Nanjing was urgently stopped amid a wave of boycotts.
So what kind of activity is this?
According to the publicity before the cancellation, the Summer Festival is a Japanese cultural experience event.
Summer Festival is a traditional festival in Japan, similar to Chinese garden tours, temple fairs.
" Matsuri " means festivals and celebrations in Japanese. For example, the film festival is the "Film Festival".
But in Chinese, "ji" has another association.
In addition to the fact that the event will be held in Nanjing, many netizens did not agree to it.
believes that this is a "cultural invasion" and cannot be accepted in terms of "national sentiment".
The first thing that was questioned was the Nanjing Summer Festival, which has been held many times.
Subsequently, the territory gradually expanded.
And gradually developed the metaphysics explanation -
Look, the cities holding summer festivals across the country are connected together, and it is a map of Japan! This is Japan using Feng Shui to set up formations!
In other words, not only Nanjing is not suitable for holding summer festivals due to special historical reasons.
Even summer festivals across the country have been interpreted as Japan secretly preparing for a comeback.
But then, the situation escalated.
"It can't be held in Nanjing? How about other places?"
"We need to be cautious about cultural penetration. It is not allowed to be held anywhere."
Like a spreading storm, the word "summer festival" is associated with it everywhere. All events are cancelled.
Hotels and exhibition halls quickly cut ties with the organizers, saying there was no need to make this money.
In fact, many "Summer Festivals" are not meant to replicate this Japanese festival, but are just comic exhibitions in some small places. In order to make the names more special and exotic, they used "Summer Festival" as their names. .
has the same meaning as if there is a real estate in your city called "Seineside" or "Notting Hill".
But now, the words "summer festival" no longer attract traffic, but only attract thunder.
As a result, many comic exhibitions began to cut their seats and cancel the name of "Summer Festival":
" supports the cancellation of summer festivals and prohibits summer festivals under the banner of comic exhibitions. "
"I support comic exhibitions, but I am against the promotion of Japanese culture."
Comic exhibitions and summer festivals are not the same thing.
One is animation exhibition activities, which generally do not set up large-scale Japanese-style scenery.
is a traditional Japanese cultural experience activity. If there is a problem with
, the correction will be cancelled.
Ordinarily, this storm should have stopped after the Summer Festival was cancelled.
But it seems not that simple.
Once something is launched, it begins to develop uncontrollably.
There was a fire at the Summer Festival, which affected the Comic Con.

As of July 27, Station B showed that more than 60 comic exhibitions had been affected.
A lot of this has nothing to do with "Summer Festival".
"Comic Exhibition", "Second Dimension Exhibition", "Game Carnival"...
△ Weibo @黄山的黄山
Why?
Because it is not called "Summer Festival", there may also be Japanese anime elements in it.
What about the one without Japanese elements? Is that OK?
After all, many comic exhibitions now incorporate many elements. You can see Chinese style, Chinese comics, and American animation.
But this is not safe either.
Weibo blogger @老石爱吃肉包 posted pictures and articles saying that a friend of the organizer of the comic show complained to him that they were reported by enthusiastic people, and the reason for the report was that the comic show came from Japan.
Therefore, in order to be able to hold the event, they had to step up their efforts to cancel all the original Japanese elements, including kimonos, university logos, etc., and were caught off guard.
From a simple question about the "Summer Festival".
expanded to cover all Japanese elements at Comic Con.
For example, there is no kimono, Sakura . Does
count as a Japanese comic character, does JK count?
It’s not even just Comic-Con.
also looks like Japanese material.
At first, some people questioned why there were so many Japanese food shops near the Memorial Hall of the Victims of the Nanjing Massacre.
Okay.
In such a heavy place, avoid suspicion.
But then someone asked, why would there be a Japanese restaurant in Nanjing? Have they forgotten history? The scope of
is still expanding step by step. In Shanghai, Northeast... it seems that Japanese food stores in every place are the original sin.
This is no longer discussing history on the basis of history.
It is the default position. Whether there are so-called "Japanese elements" or not, it has become a bowl of jelly in the stomach.
Every foreign cultural presence seems to be a cultural invasion.
But it is impossible for culture not to be communicated and spread.
Even if you don’t watch Japanese anime, have you seen JK uniform in the movie of Xingye .
Even if you only listen to Chinese music, many musical instruments came from foreign countries.
Suona is a Persian musical instrument. The name Suona is the transliteration of the ancient Persian Surnā; …
Even if you don’t learn foreign languages.
"Freedom", "democracy", "science", "ism"... were all first translated by Japan and then introduced into China.
If all "cultural penetration" is eliminated, only "pure" culture is allowed.
Can we still live normally today?
This problem comes up again and again and has been talked about too many times.
has also been explained for a long time.
7 years ago, Mr. Lu Xun had already written in "Looking in the Mirror: Feelings" -
Whenever I encounter foreign things, I feel as if they are coming to capture me, rejecting, panicking, shrinking, escaping, shaking into a ball, and then He must come up with a theory to cover it up, and the national quintessence becomes the treasure of the king and the slave.
However, if you want to make progress or not regress, you must always come up with new ideas, or at least use materials from foreign lands. If you have all kinds of scruples, all kinds of caution, all kinds of nagging, doing so will violate your ancestors, and doing so will look like Yi Di. I feel like I'm on thin ice, it's too late to tremble, how can I make something good?
After so many years, we still need Lu Xun.

One of the biggest features of today's network environment is that is unpredictable.
You don’t know what question will be thrown out next.
Even sometimes I don’t understand, what is the problem with ?
Many phenomena that were taken for granted in the past have become high-risk minefields today.
cannot look back.
Looking back, there are some things that are unimaginable today.
I remember that in 2005, three top Chinese actresses, Gong Li , Zhang Ziyi , Michelle Yeoh , starred in " Memoirs of a Geisha ". Will
be blocked today?
A prominent phenomenon today is the increasing demand for "cultural purity" of and .
Many people say that the "cultural invasion" is getting more and more serious, and if it is not stopped in time, it will poison the next generation.
But the question is, who is the "next generation"?
We today are the next generation of the previous generation.
But the previous generation accepted Japanese culture more than today.
" Ashin ", " Blood Suspect " and " Volleyball Female Player " are popular all over the country. Is there any Japanese drama today that can have such a spread?
Hundreds of millions of girls back then were crazy about a cool man named Takakura Ken.
Where are the national-level Japanese idols today? Are they not all top-notch domestic entertainers?
Back then, " Smart Ikkyu ", "Astro Boy", "Crayon Shin-chan", "Doraemon", "Saint Seiya" and "Pokémon" took over the childhood of countless people.
A classic question today is: How did people born in the 80s and 90s watch Japanese animation when there was no Internet?
Is there a possibility that animation is broadcast on TV...
Another phenomenon is.
People increasingly do not distinguish between culture and political .
Often, the two are confused.
For example, the Sakura element was searched as evidence of crime at the comic exhibition today.
Does viewing cherry blossoms represent a "splendid day"?
Don’t forget, some of the famous cherry blossom spots in China today were planted when China and Japan established diplomatic relations.

Does the cherry blossoms symbolize Japanese aggression, or does it symbolize the peaceful future that the two peoples yearn for?
also has elements such as shrines, torii, and other elements in Japanese Shintoism.
is equivalent to militarism among some people and is unacceptable.
But also in Nanjing, the Jiangsu Fukuoka Friendship Sakura Garden was established in 1996. More than 4,000 cherry blossoms were planted in the garden, and there is also a Japanese-style torii gate.
This garden was built to commemorate the friendship between Jiangsu Province and Fukuoka Prefecture of Japan in 1992.
As for the shrine, we didn’t question it when we watched anime in the past.
In "Inuyasha", Ali's home has an ancestral shrine, and every time she travels through it, she passes through the ancient well of the shrine.
Let’s talk about " Your Name " which was released in China a few years ago.
The heroine is also the heir of the shrine. She finally successfully exchanged her body through the chewing wine brewed at the shrine.
Is it the past that everyone has no national feelings? Neither does
.
htmlAnti-Japanese demonstrations took place in 112 because of the Diaoyu Islands.
html In 117, a hotel in Japan placed books denying the Nanjing Massacre and the history of comfort women. The Imperial Bar expedition paralyzed the hotel's official website.
but in the past.
These two things are self-consistent in many people’s minds -
On the one hand, I hate Little Japan.
On the other hand, I can also read Japanese anime.
Culture belongs to culture, and politics belongs to politics.
one code to one code.
Accepting the other party's culture does not mean changing one's own position.
But today, it seems that the two are no longer allowed to be distinguished -
If you accept the culture, there is a problem with your stance.
Last year, a woman wore a kimono and went to a nucleic acid test site to take a nucleic acid test, but was persuaded to return. After the
video was posted on Weibo, many people said that she had forgotten how the good days came.
But in fact, she was just a staff member of a nearby Japanese food store. She took time out to do nucleic acid tests at noon and did not have time to change clothes.
Kimono, equivalent to her work clothes.
Having said that, even if it is not work clothes, voluntarily wearing Japanese clothes on the streets cannot be allowed?
During the National Day last year, many cities took advantage of the holiday to hold comic exhibitions.
and coser appeared in public wearing costumes from anime and were insulted and attacked.
Being interested in Japanese culture and the second dimension can be a reason for being scolded.
insists on pushing people to a situation where "their heart can be killed".
Nowadays, some people are increasingly confused, or simply don’t want to think about it.
Liking Japanese culture seems to be equated with "Jingri", which is tantamount to worshiping Japan, belittling China, and even promoting militarism.
The criteria for determining whether a person is an enemy are being simplified.
only focuses on which country’s clothes you wear, which country’s literature and art you like, and whether you say good things about foreigners.
is like Mo Yan wrote the travelogue "People of Hokkaido" when he was invited to travel to Japan with Chinese and Japanese representatives in 2004.
praised the simplicity and kindness of the local villagers.
results.
"Do you recognize a thief as your father?"
Even Mo Yan has a new nickname - "Mo Sang".
external clothing culture.
is friendly to ordinary people in foreign countries.
are all malicious today.
But can these be used to judge a person’s quality?
Some people have also said that this is an overkill and must be overcorrected, that is, it is better to kill by mistake than to let go.
Then in this wave, who is the unlucky one?
is a comic exhibition practitioner who was in urgent need of recovery after being hit by the epidemic, and was caught off guard.
is a 2D enthusiast who has bought tickets, asked for leave, and wants to go to the exhibition.
is a Chinese comic that is preparing to participate in the exhibition and engage in exchanges. What about
, are they all our own people? What about
, even I didn’t escape?
From the beginning in Nanjing, to the whole country.
From the "Summer Festival", to all comic exhibitions, and even Japanese two-dimensional, traditional clothing, Japanese materials...
The boundaries are becoming increasingly blurred. The
standard is increasingly unpredictable.
Under the broad impact, many things may be difficult to explain clearly, and we have to choose to give up some things that we originally loved and persisted in. Just like this year, many comic exhibitions had to change their names or even stop holding them.
It’s just that you don’t know how much you have to give up. How can
be exchanged for stable peace?
