Chapter 39 4. Prostitution

Those photos that caused a sensation in the society are called pornographic photos, and some are also called pornographic photos and sexual photos.In fact, there is a ready-made term for this kind of image: erotic palace, or spring painting. I don’t know why the media have abandoned it. Appellations like erotic palace and spring painting are very objective and do not make good or bad judgments.The use of words such as obscenity and desire has made a moral assessment. The word obscenity, usually used, has a negative meaning. Like many Chinese characters, this word has many usages and meanings. Moreover, it can be completely opposite, and it can be used in a positive description.There was a famous scholar in the Jin Dynasty, Huangfu Mi, because he loved reading very much: he indulged in playing classics and forgot to sleep and eat.He read so much that he didn't even care about sleeping and eating, so people gave him a nickname at that time: Bookish.Reading is a good thing, and reading has become a book pornography, of course it is also very positive, it is to praise him for his hard work, not to say that he is not good.Obscenity is interpreted as excessive lust. The original word is female side, but it was changed later, and the two words are the same. Few people use female side. I don’t know if there are feminists who have protested, so it is so.

Most of the many meanings can be ignored, because when they are used now, they all have negative meanings. Photos are called lewd photos, so it is natural to make a judgment and conclude that they are bad things. Moral judgments can sometimes be laughed at, and sometimes they are quite terrifying. The knowledge of using Chinese characters is really profound. If you want to find a word that is opposite to obscenity, you can choose the word jing.Purity, clarity, no evil thoughts, cleanliness, and no dirt are all very positive meanings, in line with the standards of moral and religious principles, and worthy of praise.

Interestingly, if the photo is a clean photo, would there be so many people clamoring for it and spreading it for views? Of course not, because it was a pornographic photo, it became a sensation. This shows what?Human nature is close to prostitution but far from pure! Of course, there are also many people who have stated that they are determined not to watch it.A reminder from the heart of a villain: lies are worse than lewdness! Please check your heart, you don't have to wait until midnight.
