Sharp criticism of pseudo-orchid culture

Author: daughter of Ganjiang

Growing flowers is just my hobby. I raise the most flowers in the country orchid, followed by succulent, rose. I like the freshness and elegance of orchids, very delicate and durable, in line with my aesthetic. But a friend saw me raise orchids and joked that you are so educated, I will feel very awkward and embarrassed.

There is no doubt that Guolan is the flower that can best represent Chinese traditional Confucian thought. as a Chinese, it is natural to love Guolan. But! Please do not reject and despise other flowers. Other flowers are as educated as Chinese bamboo, plum blossoms, chrysanthemums and peonies. Dutch tulips are educated, British roses are educated, and Japanese cherry blossoms are also cultured. traditional flowers from all over the world have been conveying truth, goodness and beauty, giving people beautiful beliefs. If you can't see it, how short-sighted it is to say that foreign flowers have no culture! Does truth, goodness, beauty and good faith really have to be divided into flowers, the new and the old, and national boundaries?

Tea originated in China, after the introduction of tea to the world, the Japanese have a good tea ceremony, and the British also have black tea culture.

Chili, potato, sesame and parsley are not Chinese original food, but now they are also integrated into Chinese food culture. Can Sichuan food be without chili peppers? Mung beans are all native to India. Many people didn't think of it, did they?

Buddhism is from India. Have you seen Buddhism destroy Taoism? Marxism-Leninism is German, not the same?

Foreign orchid can not replace national orchid, I am confident that the beauty of our national orchid will not be so fragile.

Crossbreeding can not hurt the old breed, but only the price of the old breed at most.

I believe that if a person is self-cultivation and clean, no matter what kind of flowers he raises, even if he does not, he is honest and noble.

Similarly, a person who behaves badly and thinks badly, no matter how many high-priced orchids he raises, don't expect to cover up his shameless meanness.

A knife is a tool in the hands of a cook, but a deadly tool in the hands of a criminal. A beautiful girl is a kind and beautiful girl in the eyes of a gentleman, and it is the evil that seduces him in a strong criminal.

Culture and morality are never on something, but in people's minds and hearts.

You have to be simple, right? First of all, I am not a scientist, still less can I ask everyone to be a scientist; I have no connotation and can not inherit Chinese culture; I raise orchids just as a hobby, just like other flowers for viewing and smelling fragrance. However, I think it is not too much for a flower forum to ask everyone to have some basic botanical knowledge. So many people are against hybridization, but you have to know one thing before you have the right to object, right?

I remember that when I was infatuated with orchids, I made an orchid friend in Tangshan. I bought several pots of flowers from him. I would like to ask, is the original old species the best? He said that as long as the healthy varieties of grass are correct. I asked again, how to raise orchids? He said, experience to explore their own, and then to have some basic botanical knowledge, not much, the middle school will be enough. It seemed common to understate it at that time, but now let's take a look at the strange talk all over the forum. I just feel that my Lanyou is really simple. I really want to say from the bottom of my heart: thank you Lanyou for not cheating at that time!

Okay, now let's take a look at what the common remarks are:

First of all, the most common thing is to compare hybrid orchids to agricultural products. I think that the meat and vegetables raised in rural areas are old, and the tasteless food of vegetables, chickens, ducks and ducks in the greenhouse is hybrid. This concept is wrong. Farmers themselves buy the seeds of seed companies, and they are also hybridized, but they have different ways of cultivation, different sources of nutrition, and different growth cycles, resulting in different tastes. To make an analogy, it can only be compared to the fact that orchids grown in natural soil without warm application of organic fertilizer are more beautiful and fragrant, while the orchids in the greenhouse are hard to apply chemical fertilizer, lack of trace elements, and the heating grass is easy to get sick, and the flowers are not so fragrant, that's all.

Secondly, the old kind is compared to a natural beauty, and the hybrid is plastic surgery and breast augmentation. So the four great beauties of ancient times were all human beings, okay? Man is a hybrid animal. In addition, cosmetic surgery is acquired to change the appearance, the changed characteristics can not be inherited. To compare, it can only be said that natural beauties are naturally bred and blossomed, and plastic surgery and breast augmentation are herbal medicine, herbs, hormones, grass-dyed grass, and the variety has nothing to do with it.

In addition, the old species are compared to antiques and collectibles, and hybrids are fakes. I think orchids must remain rare, and it is no fun if there are more people to play with. This is not right, antiques can not be copied, and orchids can be infinitely copied. If orchid friends think that raising orchids is just to show their unique nobility, there are many expensive and tasteful things in the world; if orchids feel that orchids must be minority and rare, they might as well just say that they hope orchids will remain expensive.

Similar metaphors will pop up every now and then, and every time I see them, I will (or have already had Lan you) explain patiently behind the post, "it's not the same thing, it's not the same thing, and what its principle should be." But! Will be ignored. Is there anything I can do? You can never wake a man who pretends to sleep!

What is even more speechless is that posts with such remarks can be refined, and even some moderators have made such remarks! Please, the moderator of a flower forum does not have any basic knowledge of biology. People will laugh off their teeth if such remarks are posted in other forums, not to mention fruit shell Zhihu, even if they are posted to Tianya, Douban, and Tiger Pop. You will also be complained to death, ah, ironically, our forum is still the place with the highest frequency of the word "culture"-shame, shameless!

OK, even if ordinary orchid friends really want to express their views, let's take a look at the faces of the most disgusting types of profiteers:

One is that there is no logic at all to talk nonsense, even personal attacks, what "hybrid is a castration party without a bird egg", what "hybrid is a performer and a woman with smoke, and raising hybrid orchids is a disgrace to Johns." Oh, my God! Where do you get the sense of superiority to despise eunuchs, actors and women? You give Cai Lun Zheng and Sima Qian Mei Lanfang Cheng Yanqiu Gou Huisheng Liang Hongyu Li teacher Sai Jinhua they do not deserve to carry shoes! The thick lewd breath between the lines is unstoppable. I think even if I am against the hybrid orchid, I will be ashamed to have this level of teammates!...

There is also a kind of words made by the relics of the Cultural Revolution, holding high the banner of the old kind and carrying forward the national culture to save the orchid friends all over the world who have gone astray because of hybridization. Hybrid is a scourge that confuses the public and disturbs one side of the Pure Land. Would rather lose everything than play only the old hybrid is that the positive energy of the paper tiger will eventually overcome the forces of evil! Oh, hey, national hero, please wake up. It's time to take medicine. I have a low IQ, so don't insult the IQ of orchid friends, okay? Don't think that adding essence is convincing, okay? Everyone has judgment, you sing loudly in the forum, we complain in Jun Yang, orchid friends understand it in their hearts, and don't bother to talk to you! Is it still useful to shout big-character posters in what age?

Talking about inheritance every day, inheritance also requires hard work and brains, or what is the basis for inheritance? Yell about culture every day, why not read more books? Compulsory education in our country has been popularized for so many years, now children learn more, how to tell people and children? You say Wang Zhi Xiang, others recite the Analects of Confucius better than you, you say charm, they begin to learn art in kindergarten, you say that the old breed is a native chicken hybrid is a broiler, is that funny? Everyone can take biology books out of their schoolbags. Keep pace with the times!

It doesn't matter if you don't have a culture, you can read and study; it doesn't matter if you don't study, just raise a flower, just be simple, will you?
