what kind of civilization do we need

Hu Shi said in his article "Our Attitude to Modern Western Civilization": We don't want to be immortal immortals anymore, we want to be lively and healthy people in this world. We don't want to think about the four meditations and six supernatural powers. We want to be a person with wisdom and wisdom in this world who can shrink the sky and shrink the earth. He believes that the new morality produced by modern Western civilization is the way for mankind to pursue happiness. The personal position of the director of this film is not to oppose spiritual civilization and material civilization. It's not like Guan Zhong said that when you have enough food and clothing, you know honor and disgrace, and you know the etiquette when you are in the warehouse. It should be the coexistence of spirit and material, just like the general in the film who is outside of Christ, and his heart has never been far from Christ. He can not only appreciate the beauty of God's words, but also enjoy the happiness brought by food. Yes, we will embrace all that we have resisted, with kindness and truth. The wisdom of the human mind represented by a motorcycle is no less than the wisdom of the mind represented by a poem. Blindly pursuing the spirit, and the life of clear soup and little water is also a kind of morbidity. Is the so-called civilization that makes use of wealth really only a material civilization? No, it is based on seeking happiness. I believe that using rules to limit our pace and not properly utilizing our due strength will make God unhappy. To sum it up with Jigong's words: the wine and meat pass through the intestines, and the Buddha's heart remains.

    I still understand it after reading the film reviews. No desire and no demand are not the will of God. The reason why love and desire exist is for people to enjoy and perceive the beauty of life. In the poor places in the film, the food is boring. People cannot focus on the food, so they have to blame each other. In the last feast, people began to be grateful because of the food.

Babette's Feast quotes

  • Young Lt. Lorens Löwenhielm: I am going away forever - and I shall never, never see you again. For I have learned here that life is hard and cruel and that in this world there are things that are - impossible.

  • Swedish Lieutenant: Lorens, how can a lieutenant of the Hussars let himself be defeated and disarmed by...

    Young Lt. Lorens Löwenhielm: By some long-faced sectarians who can't even afford salt for their soup? I can't forget the image of that lovely maiden.

    Swedish Lieutenant: You're a dreamer, Lorens.

    Young Lt. Lorens Löwenhielm: But I'd prefer to be like you. I will forget all that happened on the west coast. From now I shall look forward, not backward. I will think of nothing buy my career and someday I will cut a brilliant figure in the great, wide world.
