Winter3, Taipei

There has been a special unforgettable occasion, as

銆€銆€1999Year9Month is first with official identity, step into Taipei city parliament , have begun to be as long as the inquiry issue of 4 months, take accepting Congressman in the 4 or 5 hours in parliament every day to ask in turn Zheng. Congressman speach uses a kind of howl probably roar sound, through microphone, enlarge volume, ear Weng Weng make sound.

When a gloomy and cold3Count clock, I discover suddenly " Long should Tai director " have been called out on inquiry, it is the cultural budget defense of Taipei city. A Congressman just comes in from surface , has seemingly had some wine, all over the face bonus entirely, say loudly, " director, you say , what is called culture? "

As empty discuss3Count , Taipei

Culture? It is casually a person is head-on to go , he raise hand to throw foot , his one Pin a smile, his overall disposition. He passes a tree, branch hangs low , it is passed that he is to break branch to abandon , or bends body? One all over is tinea wander dog approximation he, he pities land avoid , is still a foot kicked in the past? Elevator door opens , he is modest restrain land let person, do you squeeze others domineeringly still open? A blind person with him shoulder to shoulder crossing, green light has lit , can he support that blind person? How he and others rub body error? Does he how to low the shoelace on first department that loosened by oneself? Why does he, in hand since selling the peddler of vegetable, have received the change sought?

If he talks about democratic human rights and labourer rights and interests in the public field of meeting, classroom and television screen, in the personal field of own home, he respects own wife and child? He is for the housekeeper in home with worker with courtesy appearance stay?

Only place , does he how to get along with

Culture actually embodies in how a person treats other person , is treated by oneself , how to treat self located natural environment. In a cultural thick and solid deep society, person knows to respect self - - he is conscientious and because being conscientious and so, there is grade; It is domineering that person knows to respect others - - he , because not rule so has morals; Person knows to respect nature - - he does not plunder , because not plunder so have the intelligence that extends forever.

Grade, morals and intelligence

That tiny Xun Congressman tell me afterwards,

I have no certainly, because I feel really

Whitewash

Dawn3Parliament actually do not permit me words describe is thorough; Otherwise I think that I will continue unhurriedly to say: The country folk that a writer knows for describing him. The thrifty woman of peasant family takes weaving knitting wool on threshold perhaps , picks up the trousers of coarse cloth of bean and dress household, however one sees neighbor visit, even as very familiar neighbor neighbor, she also goes surely in advanced house , changes skirt , and then speaks with guest. Wear skirt or wear trousers representative what symbol since times change , however think "courtesy" is important also is a kind of is for self and is for the respect of other person , acting generation according to legend. What farm woman show is actually the inside information of a kind of culture. What lets inside information to be a kind of common values however , because ancestors father generation transmits layer upon layer, because of domestic household ear Ru eye dyes , a person that does not become literate also moulds naturally in which, values when creep in silent melt Yan form , it is culture.

In childhood, I live in Taiwan countryside, when neighboring domestic child sends a basket from the domestic tree jujube son that grows , mother meeting takes off jujube son receipt , then, put thing, some of mangoes and a vegetable back surely in that bamboo basket. What in home has no , she fills basket surely full rice, let neighboring domestic child bring to return. Ask her why, she says , " can not let one that gives presents go empty-handed. "

The person of countryside does not know perhaps

The mountain of Greece is pulled out from sea, climate is dried , land barren, simple farming house mistake falls in brambles mountain road, it is passed that old farmer leads along big ear donkey under olive tree. His simple home, it have to be snow-white to whitewash a wall to paint , corner a rose old root spirals , issue the flower with crimson a cluster of cluster , reflect on white wall. It is studied that old farmer is not seemingly to know how Ya-Li-Si many virtues discuss poem and aesthetics, however he when white whitewash a wall side kind a red rose, obviously, it is the important, a kind of practice of treating self , treating other person and treating environment to think that it" is beautiful". He has not steped very probably to enter any art gallery , but between his daily life advances or retreat , without place, it is not beautiful.

In Taiwan south countryside, I have sat in the lotus pool side before a temple. Do not stain skirt, pad newspaper when following. One puts on home of old man of bamboo hat, give self the towel on shoulder at once, say , " Miss, that paper has word, do not sit La, my towel gives you to sit. " word, represent the value of knowledge, the uncle of bamboo hat insists to be for the reverence of knowledge by oneself.

"order" and some "value" in heart insist, in troubled times especially, it is black and white and distinct. Paris graceful beautiful one that we see today if is former, is because, the German commander who occupies Paris when receive to hope that rein the order of before " withdraw destroy Paris thoroughly " specially, decision defies orders not since, with own life, protect a ancient city for cost. The shell of Liang Shu Ming in Japanese opportunity for combat when side drives off Ran explode open, in sit quietly courtyard, study continuously , think deeply the problem of thing culture and education. Two aftermath is perhaps different, the attitude of resistance is consistent , is insisted with "order" for" value". The strength source of resistance is culture.

Time how to

銆€銆€15That year of year-old, we from the Taiwan sprout of central section Li countryside move the fishing village of seaside of Gao Xiong. Enter fishing village for the first time, it is very surprised: Why are you different with countryside?

If say countryside is peaceful one wipes dark green, so, fishing village is lively golden powder. Originally, this has so many gods on world, each god has birthday , each birthday will be been decorated , gong and drum Xuan universe celebration. The street of fishing village becomes suddenly to roll floating colored ribbon, god Yu when in voice noisy and confused honorable tour of inspection. Will you discriminate to know the season of fishing village? Need not see the withered honor of leaf or the fluctuation of tidewater , count the birthday of Zhu Shen only, the fleeting time of year-old convenient clearly when is former. Former temple square has through night opera, there is Wang Chuan of burn on seabeach water, in life, it has the taboo complied with strictly , people have faith at heart and entrust. When in farming person eye, fishing person simply "superstition" very.15Year I, have so begun the enlightenment

It is38In the annual times of " martial law ", with national security for reason, Taiwan government even does not allow fisherman to possess the communication equipment on basic modern sea , is afraid of fisherman" coherent bandit"; So storm one comes , the ability of rescue is very low. Night in feel dark last ship to" demand sea" young father, and do not know whether self can return surely in early morning to see the child that returns in home in warm quilt. " claim superstition " is to face a kind of way of geting help from within of vast world in having no way out however.

So, culture is a kind of life style , forms in specific geography and historical, economic, political condition. The culture on this meaning, we are hard to say very much culture Gao Huo is low, it is thick or thin , is good or bad, it is that what is what. Person, for self" existence" the degree with conscious situation, as well as he stems from , is this kind of and conscious and review , and attempt to express , when the conscious creativity and that arouses between expression is weak with the winner who imagines force , cause culture between and culture difference. The more the conscious degree of person is high, the more the ability of review is strong , is excited and the more big as expressing , creativity and imagine the space of force is big. In the process of this soul exploration, ideological intension and the grade of aesthetics sprout, grope and develop gradually and become type.

I have understood

Person is the scattered pearl son that falls , rolls anywhere in disorder, culture is that weak and strong tough thin silk , strings pearl son to become society. Citizen society, come because of not lean on to deny imperial power or religious authority its solid base, therefore culture is the most important binder of citizen society.

I remember a open-air live in people poem evening party , we have invited a elder , sing from the tribe special north of east mountain area to live in the ancient song of people. He sings open, suddenly thunder and lightning occurs simultaneously , rain cats and dogs and fall , rainwater is hit on the elder face of very deep wrinkles, his the whole body is wet through , face upward face to day, close to stress Jing continuity sings , the no original sound of the accompaniment of musical instrument is old and remote, interweave when Hua in Hua rain sound. Fully, full crowd stands up in rain, rainwater sends from the beginning the eye that flows and flows into people, but no a person leaves.

I see young live people covers not land flow to stress tear , tear and rainwater mix together possibility is that a lonely city loafer of job hunting has evoked the infinite deep feeling of self for hometown tribe by sound of singing. The most are still Han people , pour heavy rain to hear song , are deeply shaken by sound of singing.

A song in rain night, I believe , let Han2000Year9Month when the Taipei city9Month21Japan, the persons more than 2000 die in earthquake. On concert, the wild ginger that has only plain white spends , give off sweet close sorrowful fragrance. As soon as dim light of night sinks , people gush from all directions to enter , sit quietly on rough slope. No political figure deliver a speech , there are only music and poem from the beginning to end in the no string site of star host. Both side screen go up write: " compatriot, we remember your name ". A one and name of the dead appear. White base dark word appears without speech.

Night of good quietness. Candle light

After concert, I receive the letter of

I do not know always what meaning

The culture

In South Korea, cultural product is dignified to enter global market, a prosperous time, I discovery explanation the necessariness of cultural policy no longer so difficulty - - you see , they are because have got supplemental cultural industrial policy , can just so succeed. Very probably, other governments can make amends while there is yet time: Industrial support plan and the cultural award regulation of each trip of all kinds will be appeared. Culture had been understood for "industry", will be also regarded as at once "product" comes quilt government " stimulate production ", do " world sells ". Cultural industry will make progress probably than the simple hardware of building mansion, but it is " industry" to simplify culture understanding with "product" for "merchandise" its future again how to?

South Korea travels to develop director of department at the time of accepting" Asian weekly" to visit , so explains South Korean phenomenon: " cultural industry has its particularity, can not develop according to the accredited policy direction of people. Effort, creative idea and the intelligence of South Korean dependence person increase new factor on cultural content. Last century60In times, South Korea has also realized the cultural industrialization after industrialization while realizing democratization. Democratization is removed for the restriction of creative subject , lets cultural worker let go to write , is shot , industrializing have also ensured cultural capital and manpower, so, big strides develop the cultural industrial talent of South Korea. "

Chinese famous actor is state-run to ask the play of restriction Han Ju in China, reason is , " China has been invaded in history, but on culture, never be enslaved , if our television station and our media, know all day long only that play Han Ju, what difference has this with traitor? " his anxiety may understand , this kind of get threat for own culture hair anxiety, French is especially strong; However, the crux of problem, possibility not when Han Ju.

Does our culture" never be enslaved"?13The creative
