People’s Daily lambasted The Yellow River Cantata for being ＂spoofed＂： it was a blasphemy against history.

　　Accompanied by The Yellow River Cantata’s melody, a group of people shouted "year-end award, year-end award, we are howling, we are howling", while shaking their heads and pretending to be crazy, sometimes with their eyes wide open, and sometimes with their hips twisted and their arms dancing wildly … … Recently, a "year-end award" version of The Yellow River Cantata video was circulated on the Internet.Vulgar lyrics and exaggerated performances, most viewers not only didn’t laugh after watching them, but even wanted to "roar": "How can we spoil our classic songs like this!"

　　The spoof performance can often be seen in life. It is good to amuse others, but the form and content of the performance itself are not without a bottom line.To entertain the audience in the form of spoofing classic works is neither inheriting classics nor artistic re-creation.Han Shu Yi Wen Zhi mentioned the problem of "grandstanding" 2000 years ago, pandering to the audience with grandiose words and deeds, so as to cheat the trust and support, which is a kind of deception to the audience. Life really needs to make people laugh and laugh, but whether a performance can achieve the effect of making people laugh depends on real skill and level. An old artist reminded me that "the lyrics are the easiest to write, and the lyrics are the hardest to write well".Entertainment has the bottom line of entertainment, seriousness is necessary, poking fun at classic works and fooling the seriousness of history, which not only oversteps the boundaries of entertainment but also desecrates the sanctity of art, and can’t convey knowing laughter at all.

　　Spoof "Yellow River Chorus"》

　　The reason why spoofing classic works is very harmful is not only because the deconstruction of spoofing itself is very negative, but also because the destructive power of "collective unconsciousness" cannot be underestimated.Admittedly, spoofing may arouse some cheap laughter during the performance. It is precisely because it is easy to deconstruct and spoof classics and the laughter won is very cheap, so the performance form is easy to be imitated by more people. Some reporters found that the spoof of The Yellow River Cantata not only appeared openly at the annual meetings of some companies, but also appeared at the parties of kindergartens, middle schools, universities and other educational institutions, and even appeared on TV screens. Laughing and laughing seems insignificant, but what is spread in cheap laughter is not the spirit of entertainment or the atmosphere of laughter, but the increasingly nihility of value and the increasingly ruined morality. To spoof and tamper with classic works with no so-called attitude will tear up the moral bottom line and value recognition that should be adhered to and defended in boiling frogs in warm water, thus lowering people’s aesthetic taste and confusing normal social cognition. From this, it is everyone’s responsibility to resist spoofing and deconstruction.

　　History is not an "empty bag" that can hold everything. It is also a literary work that carries historical memories and national feelings. It is also not an "empty bag" that can hold everything and a "draft paper" that can be changed as you want. What The Yellow River Cantata sang was the Eighth Route Army’s firm determination to cross the Yellow River eastward and drink horses to fight against the Japanese aggressors, and the unyielding spirit of awakening the whole nation and fighting the Japanese aggressors to the end. It is no exaggeration to say that it is the "soul of the nation" and "immortal work".Tampering with this masterpiece, which reflects the voice of national salvation for the sake of humor, is obviously a blasphemy against history and a waste of national spirit. What is the difference between it and the muddleheaded "birds among the tents"?Soldiers often say that in peacetime, it is especially necessary to be alert to "peaceful habits." For each of us, it is also necessary to keep alert to peaceful habits such as historical indifference and nihilism.

　　"People who don’t know their history before birth will always be children." It is the minimum requirement to treat the history written by our ancestors with warmth and respect. History not only has the struggles of our ancestors, but also maintains the past and future of our generation; Classic works carry not only the peak of artistic creation, but also the rise and fall and honor and disgrace of the nation. Respecting history and classics is actually respecting yourself and the future.
