On Nobel Prize Winner Mo Yan'S Award Dress

After winning the Nobel prize for literature, the public broke his heart for him.

Now, he is going to Stockholm to receive the prize in the Swedish capital.

What about the award? That's a problem.

according to

The practice of awarding ceremony requires recipients to wear western style.

That is the so-called "tuxedo".

Tuxedo has a nice name, but the actual effect is not ideal.

If a young man with a long body wears it, it will be graceful.

But those who won the Nobel Prize were either academics of seven or eighty percent or middle-aged people who were bloated because of lack of exercise.

Like the winner of the 1957 Nobel prize in literature and French writer Camus, the young and handsome appearance and extraordinary temperament are few and far between.

So, from the actual effect, wear it.

Most of them are not only light and natural without swallows, but on the contrary, they look more like a clumsy penguin.

And Sutter, the 1964 prize winner and French philosopher, was simply an unflattering winner who refused to accept the prize.

Mo Yan is afraid that he is too fond of eating meat when he is a young soldier, and he is too lazy to exercise and lose weight.

It is said that after the awarding ceremony, there is also a dinner and a dance, and Mo Yan has to have a waltz, exactly what.

Others suggested that they should be put on.

It is not necessary to cater to Westerners' habits and tastes, to respect national traditions, and to highlight the scenery of Chinese national culture and enhance our national prestige.

That sounds reasonable.

But what is "Hanfu"? Modern Chinese style

There is no formal uniform.

Long gown Liriodendron? That's Gu Hongming.

The Ming style Confucian gown? That's Xu Xian.

A homespun vest and a sheep's belly towel? It's a folk singer, Bao Bao or Comrade Chen Yonggui.

Or simply wear blue tunic.

Wearing a penguin is not good-looking, but it does not look good enough to be dressed like a landlord or a town official.

But what does all this have to do? William Faulkner is the winner of the Nobel prize in literature in 1949, but the southern American peasant writer is not interested in going to Sweden to attend the awards ceremony.

With the advice of his friends and government officials, he finally decided to go, but he felt that there was no need to customize a dress for this purpose, so he commissioned others to rent a dress.

Indeed, for Faulkner, giving birth to a cow at home is more important than running to a distant party.

What he needs is a calm everyday life, not a celebration.

The dress is the costumes of the festival, and it is useless in ordinary days.

Body image display and visual consumption are the essential content of entertainment culture.

But no matter literature or social ritual, it is not a theatrical performance, nor is it for the sake of good looks.

Good-looking and not good-looking is not the root of the problem.

Literary writing is a very personal matter. The prize of literature is rewarded by this solitary individual's creative spiritual activity.

A Chinese prize can be regarded as a collective honor, but fundamentally speaking, the Nobel prize for literature is a personal reward to the writer, and has no direct connection with the ethnic group he belongs to.

Those of us who share the same language with him are just because they won the prize.

Clothing is also an extremely personal matter, like literature.

Just as a writer shows his writing personality in his own rhetorical style, a person often shows his personality in his own dressing style.

Therefore, it is entirely personal for Mo Yan to choose what clothes to wear for the party.

He can choose to wear Western Style Tuxedo to show respect for the host's custom, which is irrelevant to the cultural obedience of the so-called "catering to the Western tastes". He can also choose to wear Chinese clothes to emphasize his racial identity and cultural identity, but this has nothing to do with the so-called "cultural resistance" attitude emphasized by the post colonial theory. Otherwise, it is better to refuse this award.

In my opinion, under a ceremonial occasion.

If the choice is too ideological, it becomes a symbolic performance.

This kind of deliberate performance is too hypocritical and hypocritical.

This is not consistent with Mo Yan's consistent style, and runs counter to the original intention of literature.

However, clothing is more sociable. In the public sphere, it is more desirable to dress in accordance with public customs, especially in social occasions.

Etiquette culture is similar to language and other cultural customs.

Or rather, it is a game rule, not a mandatory requirement.

But no matter which garment to choose, the most important thing is to respect the requirements of etiquette.

Respecting the universal rules of the game is a polite expression.

I believe Mo Yan will take this matter seriously.

With his principle of being human, he never wanted to offend anyone, unwilling to embarrass others, and even invited him to win the prize.

In the face of a feast of literature, I am sure that he will support Mo Yan as his fellow countrymen.

In my opinion, the public should read his works well.

Of course, the public has the right to make irresponsible remarks about the quality, significance and value of his work, but to criticize his or her own dress, it is rather officious.

In today's era of excessive entertainment, Mo Yan has been included in the consumption target of the public.

Previously, people had consumed the carrot and leaves in his home, and now they want to pform their body image into entertainment consumer goods.

But in fact, in this respect, Mo Yan's "expendability" is limited. He is not only inferior to the movie stars on Oscar's celebration, but also can't compare with the local grassroots entertainment entertaining people such as "Super Girls" or "Chinese good voice".

I am afraid the public who loves to watch the excitement will be greatly disappointed.
