Cultural Tour ｜ Bao Pengshan talks about the Book of Songs: The Mind of the public (twelve)

Small civil servant

This world is always not fair. Some people only need to point their hands and feet, and some people need to be busy. The so -called "moving mouth, running below". In the old saying, "gentleman's mouth is not hand -in", which also means. That's the opposite, "the little man runs and runs his legs again." Although everyone is a person, they are all workmanship:

Under the heavens, Mo Fei King Tu;

The shore of the soil, Mo Fei Wang Chen. ("Xiaoya Beishan")

But the labor Yi is very different:

The doctor is uneven, I am engaged in the sage. ("Xiaoya Beishan")

——Drivers are uneven, and I do more things.

Alas, in fact, it is not necessary to say that in the officials of the Zhou Dynasty, even in today's units, labor is often done by those diligent people. The hard work is always done by those who are cautious. In this way, it seems that they are asking. Yes, some of the people in this world do have more responsibility, just as there are always some people with less responsibility and more selfishness.

The Quartet is envious, I live alone.

The people can't do it, I dare not take a break.

I do n’t dare to work hard to my friends. ("Xiao Ya · October")

——The people around me are full of surplus, and only I am alone; none of them are not idle, and I dare not stop alone. Tiandao does not follow common sense, I dare not learn them ease!

Obviously, in the face of the crisis, some people always worry about the world's worries. But it is strange that the people who "do not dare to sue" ("Xiao Ya · October") always face "innocent innocence and innocence," Xiao Ya · "October"))

Such an unfavorable situation. Why do people who work hard and work hard not only do not get respect, but to endure so many villains? What kind of working environment is this? If our working environment is always like this, our work ethics will be challenged. Chekhov's "The Death of Little Civil Servants" is well known. The poor and disgusting mentality of the little civil servant is cultivated in this working environment. The Tsar's dictatorship can degenerate people, as well as the Zhou Dynasty system -not, all autocracy is the same. Let's take a look at the small civil servants in the "Book of Songs" and see their work, life and mentality:

East is unknown, turning clothes.

Fold upside down, call from the public.

Dongfang Weixuan, upside down clothes.

The upside -down, self -public order. ("Qifeng · Oriental Unknown")

——The East has not been lit, upside down. The upside -ups were not well worn, and the public was panicked.

This is really ancient black humor. A person rushed early in the morning, fearing that he had misunderstood the public. He was afraid of being late at work. He was so nervous that he put his shirt and pants upside down. Next, are we not sad? We cannot believe that such a work will also give people happiness, dignity and achievement. This is the double insults and torture of the flesh and spirit. The following "Zhao Nan · Xiaoxing" seems to be a shot of "Qifeng · Oriental Unknown". Let us use Monteci to stitch them: this small civil servant finally put on the pants right and hurriedly out of the pants, and hurriedly came out of it out. Door. Oh, I remembered the verse of "Shangshan Early Walk" of Tang Wenting in the late Tang Dynasty: "Chicken Sound Maodian Month, Human Trace Banqiao Cream."
