"Text memoirs" group: after graduation, we fell in love with the text again
2022-03-18
When I was a child, a Chinese class may accommodate up to 100 people. But when you grow up, this number can expand to tens of thousands. In Douban group's "text memoirs" - this newly expanded "class", there are more than 39000 "students" who return to the text after compulsory education. This "old" group, founded in 2007, has become a hot group of watercress in the near future. Here, people share the same cultural memory. They discussed the Chinese texts they had learned in primary and secondary schools together, and recalled the touching story lines, the illustrations of the cured texts, and even the tempting food - including the Gaoyou duck egg that emits red oil as soon as the chopsticks are stuck down. The vision of this group is to "become a beautiful place carrying the childhood memories of students". It's 2022. Has Fanka, who only wrote "Grandpa received" on the envelope, received a reply? Has the little scribe who always secretly helps his father at night made progress in his homework? In the revolutionary martyrs memorial hall, can you see the golden fishing hook that the old monitor ate for the three wounded? These cultural symbols of the past have triggered a collective nostalgia of thousands of people. In the view of psychologists, collective nostalgia is a yearning of people with similar backgrounds for the culture and times they have experienced together in the past. When people are nostalgic, they often maintain a happy psychological state, which can help people store positive emotions. A 48 year old member of the group admitted that he loved reading texts in recent years because he had a good Chinese score when he was a child, so he "can always recall that highlight moment". Compared with holding, losing is more unforgettable. Childhood memories are like this for most people. People begin to contact and feel the world from childhood, and gradually have their own cognition of the world. Psychological research suggests that this "first impression" is often easier to remember. In the "text memoirs" group, the most favorite content shared by the group members is the novelty and vibration when they understand something and have a certain mood for the first time from the text. Many "students" in the group remember that Lin Qingxuan's text "race against time" made them have the concept of "time" for the first time, "actually feel the fear of the passage of time", and even "have the concept of life and death. At that time, they read it over and over again and couldn't help crying secretly. After emo for several days, when they were carried by their mother on an electric car, they would secretly think what to do if their mother left one day". In addition, those interesting childhood stories related to the text are also left in the memory. When you think of the text, you will think of segmenting and drawing out the key points, as well as reading, continuation, dictation by roles, and even the most terrible thing - full-text recitation. Some people don't remember the content of the text, but they still remember that "learning this text at that time was mainly to analyze the role of ellipsis in the text and that I painted lipstick on poor Sonna". Others admitted that they would remember the texts they were punished to copy and asked to recite clearly. A member of the group once posted a post saying, "so many groups, just this group cried. Text after text recalled countless forgotten memories, and these texts have such magical magic! Sure enough, the happiest thing in life is childhood. It's really painful to want to go back to childhood and grow up." In fact, nostalgia is a mixed emotional experience. Scholar Fred Davis believes that nostalgia often occurs in the current environment of fear, discontinuity, anxiety or uncertainty. It can not only awaken some good emotions, such as happiness, happiness, love and warmth, but also make people feel helpless and sad about the current situation. Of course, rereading the text brings not only memories, but also new knowledge. Having read it doesn't mean you understand it. One team member recalled that his "days and thoughts before the age of 18 were very simple", so he didn't understand the real meaning of the text "I and the altar of earth" at that time. A few days ago, Su Shi's "night tour of Chengtian Temple" became popular again. The sentence "Huai min also didn't sleep" resonated with everyone on the Internet. Although there were cool summer nights when I was a child, I didn't know "it's difficult to meet a bosom friend" and the value of finding someone "in the atrium" in the middle of the night. As the group said in its introduction, "life is another lesson". Before the lesson of "life", what the text tells may be only distant stories, simple plots and knowledge points that need to be remembered. It is not until we have read the bitter and bitter words in the world of history that we finally understand the true meaning of life and death. This may also be the reason why we fall in love with the text again. (outlook new era)
