拜孔子求考研通过 你们考虑过孔子的感受吗

　明白了“花式祈福”仅仅只是“祈福”，才能不会沉溺在“福”的幻觉中；明白了仪式只是仪式，才能真正把握住自己的人生方向。

　　刚刚过去的这个周末，全国硕士研究生招生考试在各地开考。为保佑考试顺利通过，山东农业大学的考生们把目光投向了校园里的孔子雕塑，他们在孔子雕塑上摆满了各种吃的，密密麻麻连头上都没有放过，苹果、橙子、薯片、饮料……琳琅满目，有人还给孔子写了“求过信”。（齐鲁晚报官微12月25日）

　　每逢重大考试，“花式祈福”总是媒体少不了的报道内容之一。比如高考期间，送考妈妈们会穿旗袍寓意“旗开得胜”；家长会给孩子吃一根油条、两个鸡蛋，希望孩子考100分；淘宝甚至推出了“VIP智商充值卡”“挂科险”等令人啼笑皆非的产品。

　　有需求就有市场，强烈的考试求过的心态，催生了各种安慰式的商品和服务。买了“智商充值卡”就能智商暴涨吗？妈妈穿身旗袍就能帮孩子考高分吗？相信任何智商正常的人都不会当真吧！但为什么还有市场？因为焦虑是最好的营销手段，而“仪式”则是最简单易行的心灵安抚法。

　　近年来，“仪式感”成为网文爱用的热词之一，似乎日常生活中的任何事情都能与“仪式”扯上关系。那么，到底什么是“仪式”？范·根纳普在《通过仪式》中说到，仪式的作用就是“使个体能够从一确定的境地过渡到另一同样确定的境地”。换句话说，就是通过仪式给自己一个确定性的保障。具体到考试的“花式祈福”来说，就是用很小的成本，换取一个重要的保障。

　　拜祭一下孔子能费多大事呢？无非是买点零食再花上一点点时间而已。祈求的却是考上研究生这样足以影响人生的重大事件。因此，即使明知这未必能实现，但只要能在心里罩上一层安全的幻纱，很多人也乐此不疲。

　　从这个角度来说，“仪式感”对人心的安抚，主要是制造一种确定性的想象，其作用类似于安慰剂。但是，人生实苦，很多时候我们靠什么来足够相信？也许就是心里的那一点执念吧。在人生的重要关头，能做到泰然自若、闲庭信步的人毕竟是极少数，因此，即使是安慰剂也有存在的价值。也正是从这个意义上说，我们能够理解“花式祈福”的考生和家长们。

　　明白了“花式祈福”仅仅只是“祈福”，才能不会沉溺在“福”的幻觉中；明白了仪式只是仪式，才能真正把握住自己的人生方向。用一些方式适当地舒缓一下情绪，是心灵必要的休憩，当然无可厚非，但这并不能成为生活本身。因为说到底，没有任何事情能够替代脚踏实地的奋斗。

Do you think about Confucius's feelings by asking Confucius to go to graduate school

It is clear that "flower blessing" is just "blessing", so that we can not indulge in the illusion of "blessing". We only know that ritual is just a ritual, so that we can truly grasp our direction of life.

-----------------------------------------

This past weekend, the national graduate entrance examination in the country to open. In order to pass the examination successfully, the examinees at Shandong Agricultural University cast their eyes on the Confucius sculpture on the campus. They were filled with various kinds of food on the sculpture of Confucius, and they had not been let off on their heads, apples, oranges, chips, drinks. Confucius wrote a "ask for a letter". (Qilu Evening News official micro December 25th)

Every major examination, "flower praying for blessing" is always one of the content of the media. For example, during the college entrance examination, sent to test mothers wearing cheongsam meaning "successful"; parents give their children to eat a Deep-Fried Dough Sticks, two egg, want their children to be admitted to 100; Taobao even launched a "VIP card" IQ "and ironically fail the exam insurance products.

There is a market with demand, a strong examination of the examination of the mentality, the birth of a variety of comforting goods and services. Did you buy a "IQ card" for IQ? Does Mom wear a cheongsam to help the child get a high score? Anyone who believes that any IQ is normal will not be true. But why is there a market? Because anxiety is the best means of marketing, and "ritual" is the easiest way to soothe the mind.

In recent years, the "sense of ritual" has become one of the hot words used by the Internet. It seems that anything in everyday life can relate to the "ritual". So, what is the "ritual" in the end? In the "ritual", Van Gennep said that the role of ritual is to "enable an individual to transition from a definite position to another as the same determined situation." In other words, it is a guarantee that gives itself a certainty through the ritual. Specific to the exam "flower praying for blessing", is to use a very small cost, in exchange for an important guarantee.

Confucius can worship Fedotov event? It's just a little bit of time to buy a snack. What I pray for is a major event that is enough to affect the life of a graduate student. So, even if we know it may not be possible, a lot of people will be happy as long as they can cover a safe fantasy yarn in their hearts.

From this point of view, the "rituals" to the people's comfort, mainly to create a deterministic imagination, which is similar to the placebo. But life is hard. What do we rely on enough to believe in many times? Maybe that's the point in mind. At the crucial moment of life, can keep cool, easy-going people are very few, therefore, even if the placebo also have the value of existence. It is in this sense that we can understand the candidates and parents of "praying for the blessing".

It is clear that "flower blessing" is just "blessing", so that we can not indulge in the illusion of "blessing". We only know that ritual is just a ritual, so that we can truly grasp our direction of life. It is a necessary rest for the mind to relax in some ways, of course, but it can't be life itself. Because in the end, nothing can replace the hard - to - earth struggle.
