A suggestion of banning Water Margin

Hot 1739 views. 2014-3-7 18:53

Water Margin is the first Chinese famous work in literature written in the vernacular. The news said 

there is a National congress committee member said that the book should be strongly banned to post because about advocating of violence, rebellion which is not in line with contemporary social harmony. It is a book might distort people to do some criminal activity by the guide of loyalism among tough brothers ganging up from all over the land to get together to start a new business of their own.

 

So here it is. 

 

What about the Three Kingdoms? It tells people three kingdoms fought for their freedom in the name of integrity of nation while actually they just broke it on behalf of self-interest. 

 

Journey to the West tells people the vivid unrealistic magic arts, it definitely shows the superstition of gods and monsters exist among human beings, heaven and hell.

 

A Dream in Red Mansions demonstrates the inappropriate moral principles about puppy love, which is also against the current social development.

 

Do these books really want us to be that? A work is defined by people and tested by time. Whether it is good or not, we can totally see it. 


Interesting!

Sometimes it is bewildering that those people who are in power can be so insecure and worry needlessly. How can be classic novels which survived centuries be harmful.

Surely people in these modern times would be able to act according to their own free will and not be influenced by novels.
