Features: A humorous portrait of the Chinese people, a satirical map of human nature. A cautionary, motivational, and critical book that fully reveals the personality code of the Chinese. To understand the secular folk, one must decipher the three flavors of Chinese character traits. Confronting the secular customs of ancient and modern society, it lifts the huge historical veil inherited by the Chinese, breaking free from traditional constraints and cultural gaps to destroy the negative and inertial forces of history, and rebuild a harmonious and civilized society. It can be called a popular readership of humorous sociology, with humorous language, rich interest, and innovative ideas. It is a must-read for those who are about to enter social practice and struggle; for those who wish to gain enlightenment and experience the sour, bitter, and sweet of life, it is also a must-read.
A "double-edged sword." For example, stone addiction, flower addiction, tea addiction, and book addiction accumulate, create, and develop culture, creating conditions for social aesthetics. At the same time, it can also damage the environment and vegetation. While creating and developing culture, it produces side effects and even social hazards to varying degrees—such as quarrying stones and transplanting flowers. As for gambling addiction, alcohol addiction, and (deformity addiction), they are more harmful than beneficial to society in any era, causing harm to society. Therefore, in the development of history, "pǐ" (addiction) is divided into good and bad, with positive and negative distinctions. Thus, it is of great significance to scientifically and deeply study the origins of various addictions in history, the environmental and conditional factors of their existence and development, and their positive and negative impacts on society for purifying the social environment and strengthening the construction of socialist spiritual civilization.
As a pathological condition, addiction primarily manifests psychologically, being a mental illness. Secondarily, it is influenced by the environment and conditions. Therefore, to correct and treat addiction, one must first start psychologically, then improve the environmental and conditional aspects, strengthen guidance, and only then can it be effective. For some repulsive and socially harmful pathological and (deformity addiction), legal measures should be supplemented alongside psychological treatment. In short, it is appropriate to control addiction to the extent that it does not pose a threat or harm to society or others.
