    On “吐嘈”

    Recently I’ve had a way of putting it that philosophy is a kind of act of “tucao.” I’m going to boldly adopt this “term” in my own philosophy; it really is strikingly apt. Anyone who often watches Japanese anime will know the word “tucao,” but “outsiders” and beginners probably won’t quite understand what it actually means, so let me explain it roughly. The explanations circulating online seem all to be copied and pasted from a passage by the POPGO subtitle group. That’s really quite lazy. You can look it up on Baidu Baike or the like. I’ll combine some easily found online materials and briefly restate it in my own…

    A Small Collection of Weiming Signature Blocks

    For a long time, my signature on Wenming has been nothing more than a simple blog address link, with limited advertising effect. Lately I’ve been hanging around the department board more often, and while looking at some interesting signature lines, I’ve come to feel that a rather rich signature line can indeed have quite a strong appeal. I don’t really like writing fragmentary, aphoristic pieces, but every now and then writing a few passages like this does feel pretty good. Before I knew it, I had already added 9 signature lines (the latest 4 of which, it seems, I still haven’t had a chance to use in posts), and together…

    Talking Again About Guo Degang

    It was nearly two years ago that I wrote an essay called “Also on Guo Degang.” At the time, I was responding to an article by ZW; astonishingly, he actually looked down on Guo Degang. I had only listened to a few short audio clips then, so I mainly said a few words from the angle of “tradition,” arguing that Guo Degang had certainly contributed to the development of crosstalk. But recently, on the advice of an older fellow student, I learned that Guo Degang’s crosstalk really has to be watched on video; only then did I go back and find a lot of videos to watch again. Ah, OMG,…

    Further Thoughts on Guo Degang

    I do like listening to crosstalk, but I don’t know much about the performing arts, and I’ve not thought about them very deeply either. So in the first place, there was no need for me to choose this topic and write an essay about it. Still, lately I’ve begun to feel that, however much of a philosopher one may be, one ought at least to cultivate a sufficient concern for problems—on any topic worth discussing, if you put in a certain amount of effort, you can immediately spin out a few opinions. Since I’ve always hoped that friends would comment on the topics I discuss on my blog, even when…
