Outlines
📖《巨婴国》引发争议
本段视频介绍了吴志弘于2016年12月出版的《巨婴国》一书,该书因用“巨婴”一词评价中国社会中普遍存在的成人身体与婴儿心理水平的现象而引起广泛争议。书中从心理分析的角度,探讨了中国社会中普遍存在的三种心理机制:共生、全能型自恋和偏执型分裂症。此外,书中还探讨了这些心理结构如何反映在中国的夫妻关系、亲子关系、习俗以及政治等方面。《巨婴国》的出版迅速让“巨婴”一词在互联网上流行开来,但2017年1月,出版方北京磨铁图书有限公司因所谓的“质量问题”发出下架通知,相关推广的文章和节目也被删除,这本书在电商平台上变得难以寻找,尽管如此,书籍并未被完全禁止。吴志弘本人也分享了自己的观点,指出当前中国出版审查的不透明性,以及政府对涉及社会问题出版物的不满。
🚫为何《巨婴国》遭禁
第二段深入分析了《巨婴国》被禁的原因。许多人认为,该书对年轻一代的反孝文化和原生家庭的批评是其被禁的主要原因。然而,视频提出了不同的观点,认为中国历史上对家庭权威和儒家忠孝伦理的看法是微妙的。特别是在中国共产党取得政权后,采取的措施在很大程度上破坏了传统的家族结构,而改革开放后虽有所缓和,但市场化和法治改革使得家族文化难以恢复。此外,该视频指出,《巨婴国》不仅仅是对家庭和个人心理的评论,更触及了对中国政治、历史和社会事件的敏感评论,这可能是其被禁的真正原因。作者通过书中的一系列观点,探讨了中国人的个体自我如何未能发展,导致了各种社会混乱和相互伤害的情况,这种分析触碰了中国政治审查的红线。
📚《巨婴国》的社会影响
在最后一段中,视频作者讨论了《巨婴国》对中国社会的深远影响,尽管书籍遭到了禁止。该书不仅引发了对个人和家庭心理问题的深入思考,还促使人们探讨中国社会和政治中存在的更广泛问题。作者提到,《巨婴国》虽然在评价中国政治和意识形态方面较为粗略,但依旧触及了许多敏感主题,展示了个体心理学视角对理解中国政治和历史的巨大价值。最后,视频作者通过分享个人经验,鼓励观众探索政治运动对中国人心理创伤的影响,并在视频末尾提供了与观众互动的渠道。

Transcripts
Hello everyone, I'm Anthony
Welcome to subscribe to my channel
some time ago
A netizen mentioned in the comment area of my channel
Why was the book "The Kingdom of Giant Infants" removed from the shelves?
I'm also very interested in this topic
So this video is going to talk about the content of this book.
By the way, comment
My opinions and views on the ideas of this book
December 2016
Wu Zhihong's work "The Kingdom of Giant Infants" was published for the first time
Immediately caused widespread controversy in Chinese society
One obvious reason is
The author made a very bold,
A very controversial title
"Giant baby" is a very offensive term
Used in China
"Giant Baby Country" believes that
Although most Chinese people have adult bodies
But the level of psychological development is that of an infant
So it’s a giant baby
follow this book
From the perspective of psychoanalytic object relations theory
Summarized the psychological mechanisms of three giant babies: symbiosis
Total narcissism and paranoid schizophrenia
Symbiosis means no sense of boundaries
I am one with the selves of others
undifferentiated, chaotic
There are no boundaries.
"Almighty narcissism"
Refers to people pursuing an absolute sense of control and desire for power
Believe that the world should run according to one's own will
If this narcissism is destroyed
Then I wish I could destroy the whole world
Or destroy yourself
This is paranoia and division
paranoid schizophrenic
Always take it in black and white
View the world from an extreme perspective
Others are either all good
Or it's all bad
"Giant Baby Country" believes that
These three psychological mechanisms
widely exist in Chinese society
follow this book
Many classic phenomena in Chinese society
Made a review
Wu Zhihong thinks
From the Chinese husband-wife relationship, parent-child relationship
Then to the customs of the Chinese people
Chinese good guys, Chinese politics, etc.
all to varying degrees
Reflects the psychological structure of giant babies
This kind of criticism of Chinese national character
It is easy for us to think of
another famous book
"The Deep Structure of Chinese Culture" by Sun Longji
Wu Zhihong himself also said in the preface
Sun Longji’s views gave him great inspiration
But when Sun Longji discussed the structure of Chinese culture,
Mainly adopts a philosophical and religious perspective
And Wu Zhihong’s book
It is explained from the level of psychological development.
With the release of Big Baby Country
The word "giant baby"
It quickly became a popular concept across the Internet.
December 26, 2016
Xinhuanet reprinted an article from China Youth Daily
"90% of our love and pain are related to the psychology of giant babies"
January 2017
The book was selected into the "Writer's Digest" best books list
but
It’s February
Publisher of "Big Baby Country"
Beijing Motie Books Co., Ltd.
A removal notice was issued
Called "Giant Baby Country"
One book failed due to quality
Request the dealer to remove the product from shelves and arrange a return
subsequently
Some online articles and programs promoting the book
was deleted
It cannot be found on e-commerce platforms such as Taobao and JD.com.
certainly
This book did not reach the level of being completely banned.
Entries like Baidu Encyclopedia still remain
Sun Longji's
Another book criticizing China's national character
"The Unweaned Nation"
There is not even an entry in Baidu Encyclopedia
One possible reason is
This book involves the "June 4th Movement"
Such a sensitive political event
Of course in mainland China
The so-called books have quality problems is just a cover
Chinese government censorship of publications
Extremely opaque
for example
I myself wrote a book on individual psychology
Still under review now
my editor told me
There are more and more ideological red lines now
The government does not like publications involving social issues
So they have been working hard to help me revise
But I'm in the book
Actually, I didn’t say anything politically sensitive.
At least it’s much less than in “Giant Baby Country”
So Wu Zhihong’s book is put in 2024
It won't pass the review at all.
Excuse me
Revealing a little too much about myself
Let’s go back to the topic
Although "Giant Baby Country" was removed from the shelves
But the word "giant baby"
did not disappear because of the ban of this book
Even in 2018
It was also featured in the magazine "Brief Words"
Selected as one of the top ten buzzwords of the year
But in my opinion
This kind of popularity
Not because people are interested in psychoanalysis
Or interested in object relations theory
And to a large extent
Because of
The social phenomena listed in this book are extremely broad
It is something that every Chinese has experienced or witnessed
And this book seems to give this kind of complex
A headache
An extremely simple and crude explanation:
Because everyone is a giant baby
In the context of most users
This word is related to curse words such as retarded, idiot, etc.
The meaning is similar
Those curse words that contain regional discrimination and gender discrimination
have their own specific audience
Not easily accessible to everyone
But the word "giant baby"
In principle, it can be applied to any group
This just caters to the potential hidden in Chinese society.
Violence everywhere
Everyone can learn from this book
See someone you hate
Even the "People's Daily" public account uses this
May 15, 2020
The newspaper’s public account published an article
"The Giant Baby Meets the Hero"
The guy jumped off the rooftop for two hours"
It tells about a young man who is about to commit suicide by jumping off a building.
The story of being saved by the police
Of course, this also attracted criticism from many netizens.
They hate the condescending tone of official media
belittling the weak
In fact, if we follow the point of view of "Giant Baby Country"
People’s Daily shows this lack of empathy
Maybe it’s closer to the giant baby’s original intention
So
"Giant Baby Country"
Why was it banned?
Many people think
This book is for young people
Antipathy towards filial piety and family of origin
That's why I got banned
Including an article in the New York Times
I think so too
But I don't agree with this view
Because Wu Zhihong has written many books before
Criticizing filial piety culture and family culture
For example, "Why Home Hurts People" etc.
Chinese officials treat family authority
and Confucian ethics of loyalty and filial piety
The attitude is rather subtle
in Chinese history
Whenever an organization takes over the world through violence,
They often output hatred from
Shift to emphasize social harmony
The so-called "conquer the world immediately"
But you can’t “rule the world right away”
After winning the world
There is still a need to apply the Legalist practices
Be a little more restrained
Bring out the Confucian principles of benevolence, justice, loyalty and filial piety to consolidate rule
but
In 1949, after the People's Republic of China established its political power
Mao Zedong et al.
But they adopted the idea of "ruling the world immediately"
That is to say, continue to advocate the logic of war and the logic of revolution.
This is because times have changed
today's world
It is no longer the world of traditional China
in the world
There are many countries with different ideologies from China
Therefore, in Mao Zedong's view
whole china
Still need to maintain the fighting spirit of the war years
Because "the revolution has not yet succeeded"
So in the Mao Zedong era
The government’s organizational structure upon which Confucian ethics rests
In other words, the clan was uprooted.
The ancestral hall was demolished
The family tree was burned
Ceremonies such as ancestor worship are also prohibited
Instead
To Mao Zedong himself
and the worship of communist ideology
The Communist Party will make the family
regarded as an obstacle to the expansion of state power
So red ethics replaced family ethics
Red collectivism replaces Confucian collectivism
After reform and opening up
Party loosens control over ideology
Confucian ethics exists
A resurgent trend
However, marketization and legal reform
It makes it difficult for clan culture to recover
Clan rights and rules that were once overthrown
It’s also difficult to recover
nationalism
rather than familialism
is the mainstream trend of thought in China today
Therefore, if only in the field of psychology
Criticism of parental authority
Reflect on the problems of the original family
In fact, it is not easy to attract the attention of the authorities.
This is also the Chinese psychology community
The reason why there seems to be a sense of division
in personal and family spheres
Psychologists can boldly cite
The most avant-garde Western theory
Emphasize the value and true self of free-minded individuals
However, when it comes to social and political topics
psychologists
Completely put away that image of progress and freedom
and often remain silent on professional grounds.
but
"Giant Baby Country" is an exception
In general
This book has a profound impact on Chinese politics
Commentary on historical and social events is very fragmented
And because of censorship
The expression is also relatively general and vague
But in fact, it can be seen everywhere in the whole book
And many of them touched on relatively sensitive topics.
So this should be the main reason why it was banned
for example
In the section "The Other Side of the Big Baby Dream"
The author said: "In many Chinese-style pictures,
All have such meaning
An almighty mother who has no regrets and no desires.
Taking care of a giant baby with desires
This is what Chinese military advisors and emperors are like
Chinese history in my opinion
They are all giant gangster-like babies who do whatever they want.
Created by joining forces with a desireless strategist
Classics such as Liu Bang and Zhang Liang
Zhu Yuanzhang and Liu Bowen. "
This passage is easily reminiscent of
The relationship between Mao Zedong and Zhou Enlai
I believe that when Wu Zhihong wrote this paragraph,
I definitely think of these two people.
Mao Zedong was born in a remote mountain village in Hunan
Because of his father’s authoritarian character
and the influence of Huxiang culture
Mao Zedong developed a rebellious spirit since childhood.
Habits of reckless heroes
Zhou Enlai
He is a descendant of a wealthy family.
Deeply influenced by the cultural temperament of Jiangsu and Zhejiang
Raised by an adoptive mother from a scholarly family
The Confucian character of being gentle, courteous, thrifty and generous is everywhere
This kind of combination of monarch and ministers
It is indeed a very classic in Chinese history
In the early days of the founding of the Communist Party
and even for a long period of time afterwards
Zhou Enlai's status within the party was higher than that of Mao Zedong
But in the end, he and Mao formed a relationship between monarch and minister.
Zhou Enlai’s own forbearance and submissive character
is a key factor
The author uses giant baby and big mother
Analogy to China’s relationship between monarch and ministers
It's very insightful
In "Why We Have Become a Mutual Harmful Society"
The author of this section said: "The one who invented the collective heart
I also have selfish motives
Finally become a collective heart
It is used to unify the middle and lower classes.
The higher-ups knew this was a fool's errand
But even at the top
Initially, a collective self must be formed
Otherwise there will be no fighting ability
The reason why New China was established
It's because of that generation of leaders
Discovered the importance of a united front
and spare no effort to do this
It really unites the hearts of people all over the world.
Chinese history cycle
that is, the collective self is constantly constructed and shattered
The collective self is constructed
Will burst out with powerful energy
Everyone feels that "we" are together, one heart
When the collective self is completely shattered
The devil-like individual self will appear
The degree of mutual harm will reach its peak
This passage is from a psychological perspective
Explains the mechanism of the outbreak of the Cultural Revolution
That is to say, the individual self of the Chinese people has never been able to develop.
leading to all kinds of confusion and mutual harm
And this situation
And people have to call for a new dictator
Come and stop all this
This is Chinese history
A fixed pattern of the cycle of fighting chaos
In "Ingratiation, Disqualification from the World"
There is such a passage:
"I am not qualified to see the true existence of Lei Feng
But if we look at it from the surface
It is also consistent with psychological principles
An orphan gets attention when he is a good person
Even the supreme leader’s attention
Then he will naturally be super persistent about it
Chinese style picture
For example, the Cultural Revolution, pyramid schemes, success studies, etc.
They all have such a background
Countless people with severe abandonment trauma
Desperately trying to catch something
Create a sense of presence
But at the same time, as long as there is solitude and silence
You will feel a terrible emptiness. "
This passage explains it very profoundly.
The psychological structure of a model figure like Lei Feng
Chinese official heroes
Especially the heroes of Mao Zedong’s era
Many have severe abandonment trauma
So once it is officially promoted as a model
Even if it's completely inconsistent with who you really are
I will also feel great honor
Willingly play that rigid symbol
There are many other comments like this
In general
Although "Giant Baby Country"
Evaluation of Chinese politics and ideology
It's relatively rough
But there are still many who have touched ideological red lines
At least it's easy to associate
And official censorship of publications
Much stricter than ordinary speech
A psychological perspective on Chinese politics and history
Especially to examine the political trauma of the Chinese people
In publications in mainland China
still very rare
This and the huge value contained in this perspective
is disproportionate
Of course, I very much agree with this interpretation.
For example, I published it in January 2023
These two videos are an attempt
That is to say, from the political movement
The psychological trauma caused to Chinese people
To explain the social phenomena in China today
