The collision of similar interests in content makes secondary creation more exciting
Speaking of comments and praises, we always think of the story of "Bodhi Gāthā". There are two verses in the "Bodhi Gāthā": "The body is the Bodhi tree, the mind is the bright mirror. Wipe it diligently from time to time and do not let it accumulate dust." This is the version of the "Bodhi Gāthā" by Master Shenxiu of the Northern School.
This verse was passed on to the Chan Master Neng, who made a shocking "comment": "There is no Bodhi tree, nor is there a mirror stand. There is nothing at all, so where can dust gather?"
You will find that the theme of the "Bodhi Gāthā" by Chan Master Neng is exactly the same as the theme defined by Shenxiu, that is, the dual cultivation of body and mind. The difference is the different methods under the same theme. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is unprecedented in history. Since then, this method has been passed down from generation to generation. First-class writers and "Dream of Red Mansions" have all made wonderful use of it. Comments and praises are not just comments, but also secondary creations, which are more important creations.
In the era of information explosion, "collision of common interests makes secondary creation more exciting" is Tingchi's obsession with comments and praises.
