On July 14, Huang Zitao and Xu Yiyang announced their relationship on their respective social media platforms and admitted that they were in love. Earlier, the paparazzi media captured the two of them in and out of love many times. On July 15, in the variety show "Come with Me", the two explained why they had been in love for so long and had just announced their relationship. The announced reasons triggered a lot of cynicism from netizens.
It turns out that Xu Yiyang told the audience that at that time, Huang Zitao's father had just passed away, and Huang Zitao was still immersed in grief. Therefore, he paid filial piety to his father for three years. Only today has the relationship between the two been officially announced.
It stands to reason that serving your father as a mourner for three years should be something worthy of praise. Why are netizens so focused on ridiculing it? The reason seems not to be that netizens don't approve of the three-year mourning for their father, but that they don't approve of Huang Zitao and Xu Yiyang's statement of not making their relationship public, thinking it is prevarication. Of course, modern society and Huang Zitao, who has observed mourning for his father for three years, have indeed opened the eyes of many netizens.
Regarding entertainment events, I have a personal perspective of criticism, that is, first of all, admit that what the celebrities say is true. After Huang Zitao's father passed away, Huang Zitao fell into great grief. Therefore, he stayed filial piety for the old man for three years. He was a filial son and should be recognized and praised. While we are sure that Huang Zitao is a filial son, we will find that this filial son had some flaws when he observed filial piety for three years.
We Chinese are very familiar with the matter of observing filial piety for three years. Even in modern times, many costume dramas also interpret this plot. For example, a minister's father passed away. He resigned from the emperor and returned to his hometown to observe mourning for three years. The so-called three years of mourning means that during the two years and three months after the death of the parents, one avoids all entertainment activities, does not get married, does not engage in happy events, and at the same time, resigns from the job. To put it bluntly, it means resigning from the job. .
If we look at the etiquette of the ancients, Huang Zitao's three-year stay of mourning is still somewhat flawed. For example, Huang Zitao failed to do this when he was not allowed to engage in entertainment activities during the period of mourning. He engaged in no less entertainment activities. In some entertainment activities, Mr. Huang Zitao's sadness was not seen. Logically speaking, if he strictly abides by the requirement of observing filial piety for three years, he should quit his job and observe filial piety with peace of mind. However, he didn't do this.
The only thing he did, or the only thing known to netizens, was to hide his relationship with Xu Yiyang. The normal requirement of our ancients is that during the three years of observing filial piety, one should not conceal one's love affairs, but rather not have any romantic partners. Obviously, Huang Zitao did not follow ancient precepts on this point.
But because of these flaws, I feel that there is really no need to be sarcastic towards Huang Zitao. As netizens, we should cooperate with Huang Zitao's filial piety, pay less attention to Huang Zitao, and let him truly leave entertainment and return to filial piety. Of course, there is no need for netizens to know about the relationship between Huang Zitao and Xu Yiyang. I have a more traditional point of view. Outside of works, there are no actors or celebrities.
As netizens, we can only read his works. There is really no need to pay attention to Huang Zitao's private life. Whether he observes filial piety for three years or not has nothing to do with anyone. In the process of observing his filial piety, he did not announce his relationship, and it had nothing to do with everyone. Everyone only pays attention to whether Huang Zitao has any works and the quality of his works. This is what Mr. Qian Zhongshu said, don’t pay attention to the chicken when eating eggs.
Speaking of Huang Zitao’s works, there are quite a few in terms of film, television dramas and variety shows. However, most of these works have no acting skills and are relatively low in quality. As for variety show works, such as this time's "Come with Me", on Douban, it has all negative reviews and no good reviews. Some netizens said that it was because this variety show did not cause any splash after its premiere that Huang Zitao and Xu Yiyang were anxious to announce their relationship and hype it up. The statement
should not be adopted.We should talk about the works based on the works. "Come with Me" is a boring travel variety show. Huang Zitao and Xu Yiyang have the aura of traffic stars. They give too much variety show time to traffic stars and forget about themselves. It is the essence of travel variety shows. This variety show is not worth watching. I have already made a special quality analysis of the variety show a few days ago. I won’t go into details here.
Again, I want to believe that Huang Zitao is sincere in serving his father for three years. I suggest netizens not to cynicize Huang Zitao. At the same time, I am willing to help Mr. Huang Zitao and not pay attention to his personal life, so that he can have no hype and no topics. Stay away from the entertainment industry.
