In fact, because of the epidemic, I had a passive rest for many days. It is possible to read a lot of books. However, there are not so many "should's" in life. Nothing means nothing. The plan is good, but in fact I brush the news every day and then go to the kitchen, but I just don't want to read books and hand in my homework. It is better to finish decisively. Read books regularly, have a regular schedule, calm down when the information is overloaded and "out of control", and you can think about some things, your future life and so on. Thanks for reading, let yourself find yourself slowly.
Read the following two books this month:
Life is interesting. Wang Zengqi
Rich people are beasts, Richard? Connif
Continue reading this book this month.
Before1February, I saw too many local flavors and specialties to share. This time, it was mainly Wang Lao's personnel.
Everyone has passed 2. 14 this month, but I still read the sweetness in the book:
fruit store
There are several fruit shops in Jiangyin, the largest of which is the one directly opposite Shoushan Park. There are many fruits, big, full and fresh. As soon as I entered the door, a thick fruit fragrance came to my face. The most outstanding thing is the sweetness of bananas. This fragrance is not intermittent, sometimes strong and sometimes weak, but it is so fragrant from morning till night, a lasting and eternal fragrance. Very fragrant and intoxicating.
I have been to many places and walked into many fruit shops, but none of them have the rich fruit flavor of this fruit shop. The smell of this fruit shop often reminds me of it and I will never forget it.
I fell in love that year, my first love.
-What else can you say about fruits and vegetables in autumn? Maybe fruits and vegetables have been in love since spring, summer and autumn. Accompanied by so sweet, so fragrant, that kind of "eternal fragrance."
Wang Lao loves textual research. The barbecue in Beijing in Iron Ball Biography is different. "I have been to Lanzhou, where Hui people live in compact communities, and Urumqi, Yili and Turpan in Xinjiang, but I have never seen a barbecue like Beijing barbecue."
The text introducing the barbecue is also an image:
Beijing barbecue is roasted on the grill. "Barbecue" is a round plate nailed with iron bars, with large pieces of split wood, pine or fruit trees under it. Sliced mutton (some roast beef, less), the waiter mixes seasonings-soy sauce, sesame oil, cooking wine, a lot of coriander and a little water, and then gives it to the customer, who will spread it evenly on the grill with long chopsticks. There is a small gap between the iron bars of the "roasted son", and the firewood and fireworks below can pass through the gap, which not only exposes the whole "roasted son" to the fire evenly, but also makes the roasted meat smell like firewood. The above soup and braised pork scraps can be filled in the seam, which increases the burnt flavor of the barbecue. In the past, we often barbecued ourselves. Because the roast is quite high, you can only stand and bake, or step on the bench with one foot. The fire is roasting, and the clothes outside can't be worn. Most of them were stripped to their shirts. It's a bit wild and arrogant to step on the bench, undress and take off your clothes, and drink white wine while eating meat.
Finally, I also told you to pay attention to "autumn fat"-that article missed a very important sentence, that is, mutton will not be delicious until autumn, and sheep will probably not gain weight until September of the lunar calendar. Only when the sheep are fat can people "post".
-"Autumn Fats"
Write "Lu" Said he was a bit of a legend, "he once walked all over half of China".
Next, write about his daily life: "His characteristic is to soak in the teahouse all day, and he can be called the champion of soaking in the teahouse at the United Nations General Assembly. He put the washbasin, towel and toothbrush in a teahouse opposite the downhill of Nanying Middle School. He got up early to wash his face in the teahouse, then made a bowl of tea and ate two biscuits. "
However, there are some regrets. "He has read so many books, but he has never seen anything written. Graduate students and senior students of the Associated University like to chat in the teahouse. He just listens and doesn't express his opinions. Does he have a gift or not? I think there is. Maybe his eyes are high and his eyes are low? Maybe he is shy and doesn't like acting? "
For teacher Shen Congwen, many memories are admirable and moving, and so is the final farewell.
"After his death, don't open a memorial service, don't hold a farewell. But before cremation, there is always a small ceremony. The title of Xinhua News Agency is "Shen Congwen Farewell to Friends and Readers", which is just right. Just a few relatives and friends. Some admirers left without notice. There are no wreaths, only about twenty baskets full of flowers, including white lilies, carnations, chrysanthemums and cymbidium. People attending the ceremony did not wear paper flowers, but everyone got a half-open rose and put it next to the body after paying tribute. Play the music that Mr. Shen loved before his death, such as Beethoven's Sonata of Sorrow. Mr. Shen was white and bloodless, lying peacefully. I approached him and looked at him. I can't leave for a long time. Such a person, that's all. I looked at him, looked at him again, and I cried. "
-"The stars are their works, and they are pure."
I haven't read Wang Lao's book enough times, but it is actually very suitable. When reading all kinds of relaxation, you will find the wisdom of life and endless fun in the text. Thank you for your recommendation. This is a good reading list for the New Year.
The title of this book seems to describe a fact, but it still needs to be more accurate. Through some stories and examples written by the author, the general public can see the life of the rich more closely. Of course, first of all, if you find and admit that this society has classes, then no matter where this book is on the earth, it may be easier to understand.
In fact, if the author analyzes the rich from the perspective of evolutionary psychology, he will obviously get some criticism, some criticism of evolutionary psychology. First, this study only reinforces traditional gender roles: men get money and multiple sexual partners, while women get double standards. The author wants to clarify gender discrimination from human nature. That is to say, in many cases, in the animal kingdom, the selfless evolution trend of female animals is equally strong, but female animals are more selective. The second criticism is that the biological development history of the rich sounds like a retrogression of social Darwinism. "Survival of the fittest" was first put forward by Herbert and Spencer in Britain. At that time, the rich may owe their wealth to God. Actually? See the author explain slowly.
This book first introduces the life of the rich, and their views on wealth and themselves. The life of the rich seems to have nothing to worry about. Of course, since ancient times, the wealthy have always drawn a clear line between themselves and the general public. Different dress codes, record your hereditary genealogy, and even use different languages. For example, in the19th century, the Russian big bourgeoisie spoke Parisian French at home, while scholars and dignitaries in China used classical Chinese.
The wealth of the rich can be exchanged for longevity, and there are better medical services by purchasing various life services. Rich people usually feel less pressure than ordinary people, enjoy more social support than ordinary people, and have a clear sense of autonomy.
Next, it shows various means for the rich to acquire and hold wealth. Mainly reflected in the following aspects:
Integrate interpersonal relationships and obtain high-quality personal resources; Try your best to master sovereignty;
Friendly domination, through "giving up" to "get"; Understand the psychology of subordinates to dominate them; Dare to take risks, conquer the team and scare off the enemy;
Clever display of strength, non-stop display.
Behind it is the inheritance of wealth and the continuation of the family. Here, we mainly talk about the rich creating a family environment, cultivating future generations to unite the family, and some choices and performances in family inheritance.
Here I want to talk about three major needs of animals: food, sexual intercourse and social relations. The same seems to be true among the "species" of the rich. Even like animals. Social relations are especially important for the rich. They can not only win people's hearts and command their subordinates from interpersonal relationships, but also find more feelings that reflect their personal characteristics.
Like showing off.
The first is the principle of inferiority. The Principle of Inferiority (Zahawi): Animals and human beings are not lucky enough to thrive when they do the most risky and excessive behaviors, but thrive because of such behaviors. Peacocks and some birds are very obvious. However, sexual selection and genetic changes are affected by the ability to attract the opposite sex, at least as much as natural selection. In addition, the success or failure of mating in most species is controlled by females, and the choice of sexual conditions is mostly determined by females.
Here, we should also introduce a concept-"ostentatious profligacy". Van Buren, the author of On the Leisure Class, put forward that "conspicuous extravagance and waste is the key for the rich to gain social status". But they must not be too ostentatious. Because of the consequences of showing off, one is to become the target of thieves, kidnappers, fund-raisers, etc. The second is to arouse the resentment of others, or others can't see that this is showing off. The rich face the contradiction between conspicuous extravagance and the impulse to show off.
Therefore, the rich adopt a dual survival strategy:
1) In his hometown where he made a fortune, he just splurged.
2) In addition, it should be matched with clubs or social circles or holiday villas located in habitats inaccessible to non-rich people. In these places, the scale of ostentation should be increased, and conspicuous profligacy should be launched within the acceptable range of groups commensurate with their status.
Like charity.
What we call altruistic behavior such as charity is obviously a way for the rich to advertise.
Why do men and women always get resources that they can't use anyway? The answer, of course, is: in order to feel that you are the master, you can make achievements and win in the competition of social status and financial resources. In other words, charity is often to compete for dominance.
Charitable behavior will also make potential opponents timid, and if opponents have no capital to participate in charity competition, they will be even more timid. The giver establishes his dominant position by giving benefits, and the superior position will always bring more mating opportunities.
And control behavior. Most biologists have reached a consensus that control is not a personality trait. No one can claim to be the boss with a certain attitude or arbitrary behavior under any circumstances. Control is the interaction between individuals. It suddenly occurred to me that that kind of authority is also a role assignment. It used to be popular to imitate the characters in Empresses in the Palace, which was also a kind of social interaction. )
The ultimate family inheritance also has a cruel, true and effective side. The number of offspring, not the more the better. On the contrary, reducing fertility is the original intention of monogamy for the rich. It is easy to understand that the rich want to have fewer children-it should be said that it is more correct to reduce the number of children born in legal marriages. In addition, monogamy concentrates family fortune on the least and most effective number of legitimate children, which helps to maintain the future of the family dynasty.
Parents plus parents and same-sex marriage.
For the rich, consanguineous marriage provides a way to minimize legitimate offspring, which can concentrate property and ensure that the fief territory will not get smaller and smaller. In addition, consanguineous marriage can also give full play to the genetic strength of the founding fathers, and can play a role in protecting spouses after their death: even if a son of future generations is? ) With the cuckold husband, the son's wife is also his cousin, and the heir will still be the blood descendant of the ancestors.
But it is more common to mate with the same kind. According to the definition of biologists, this is the trend of male animals mating with female animals of the same species to have offspring. Humans also choose people who are similar to themselves as marriage partners, not only in intelligence, hair color, social and economic status, but also in the length of earlobes. Raising children is also to achieve same-sex marriage. Helping children choose suitable kindergartens and dance classes will help to ensure that children will never meet people who are not suitable for communication.
Generally speaking, this book may have a different understanding of the whole family existence of the rich from the perspective of evolution. From the primitive rich people who hoarded food in primitive society to the mysterious marriage and luxurious life of various rich people in modern times, as well as the commercial war between Turner and Murdoch, media tycoons like the leaders of chimpanzee families. They seem to be evolving, with many unique lifestyles and behaviors, but some gains and losses are doomed at birth (in the eyes of ordinary people). However, stimulating people's wealth will make people daydream more, and everyone needs to know more about the world to avoid falling into simple thinking, as a general said: "The higher the monkey climbs, the more you can see its ass."

Finally, I wish everyone can get through this special period of being trapped safely and keep their peace, joy and good attitude. After accumulating strength, I will better help those in need. Although it is not easy, despite tears, I still believe and firmly go to my world.
