What does grass root mean?

What is a grass root? What is a grass root? The word grassroots appears in front of me more and more. I can't help wondering what grass roots are. There is no special explanation in Chinese wiki? Modern Chinese Dictionary did not explain this entry, but finally found a satisfactory explanation. "Grassroots" is a literal translation from English grassroots. Some people think it has two meanings: first, it refers to the power relative to the government or decision makers; One refers to the disadvantaged groups corresponding to the mainstream, elite culture or elite class. The English-Chinese Dictionary, edited by Lu Gusun, lists grassroots as an entry, which is defined as: ① the masses and grassroots; (2) rural areas; 3 foundation; Basic. If the terms and definitions are interchanged, that is, the word "grass root" in "grass root" or "grass root" is replaced by these meanings, some can be replaced and some cannot be replaced. So "grassroots" means popularization, but from various articles, the meaning of "grassroots" in practical application is far richer than the above explanation. Junko was published at 9: 37 am on 0/20/2005. At least "no power" is one of the characteristics of grassroots. Ma Yue published in 2005-01-2010:19am Grassroots have nothing to do with power and status. It should have two characteristics: first, tenacity. It should represent the vitality of "wildfire never completely devours them, and they are tall again in the spring breeze"; Second, extensive. Everywhere. So every blogger who insists on updating on the keyboard is a grassroots. Network industry should be grass-roots culture. What it can express is a group of people who are non-mainstream, unorthodox, unprofessional or amateur, and even people who are born purely in the rough. They distinguish it from the so-called orthodox and mainstream voice of self-sufficiency, which has its own reasons and unique advantages.

What is grassroots culture?

Without full development, blogs provide opportunities for media elites and potential media elites to play. Since the media elites have entered the blog writing market, after full competition, the development of blogs in China is bound to be completely opposite to that of blogs in the United States that oppose professionalism and elitism. Therefore, the development of blogs in China must continue to be elitist, rather than grass-roots like the ancestors of the United States.

Actually, I don't need to say anything more. Those grassroots who expect to bring traffic to their blogs through BSP homepage may have to make themselves an elite first. Look at the excellent blogs recommended by Sina. Yu Hua, Zhang Haidi, Pan Shiyi and Xu Xiaoping are all real elites. If you are lucky, maybe you can show your face in the "latest blog" in the lower left corner. Aren't you angry? Hey? 庖庖× car curtain? Gigi swing school? Sorry for the delay? Hold the south? What's the matter with you? Hey? Blame the ashes with a sword? Hey? Hey? Forgive?

The subtitle of Dan Gill Mo's book Our Media is "Grassroots News of the People". I don't deny the influence of the elite. In fact, Sina is using their influence to attract grassroots people to start blogging on its website, which will be very effective. But the internet is bringing influence to those who had no influence before. As undersound said, the blogosphere is a long tail, and every blogger is a little bit on this tail. This is what the new york Times said: "Everyone is famous for 15" (everyone can be famous for 15). Through Hopesome). This 15 person may include your lover, friends and colleagues, and your influence on them may far exceed those elites. Antie told you that you should watch Super Girl. You may not watch it, but your girlfriend told you to watch Super Girl, and you did.

Back to the media control mentioned earlier, in fact, all control is the control of some people over others, and some elites deprive other elites of their right to speak. Many things Antie can't say in the newspaper, but only on his blog. However, I don't think the blogger An Tie is still an elite. It's just that his blog has slightly more readers than other blogs. He has millions of readers like Reader. It's not a play yet. Even the president of People's Daily, if he becomes a blogger, I'm afraid no one will regard him as an elite.

From the media point of view, the total number of readers of blogs is increasing rapidly. Although every blog is small, no matter how many readers there are, there will be the most loyal readers. The readers of the whole blogosphere are definitely a number that can compete with any media. This is the power of the long tail.

It is easy to control a few elites, but it is difficult to control millions of bloggers. China's blogosphere can't go to the road of elite media, because even a weak voice has aspirations and possibilities. Portal websites use elites as signboards to attract a large number of grassroots. Blogs make grassroots no longer just a background for setting off elites. At least among 15 people, every blogger is the protagonist whether he can be selected on the home page of BSP or not.

[...] It is only today that writing has truly broken away from heroism and become an individualistic thing. In this Internet age, language and writing have promoted its lofty status. From previous blogs to current podcasts and even future wikis, everyone can own their own online newspapers, webcasts or Internet TV. Just like Super Girl sings whenever she wants on TV, people write whenever they want, talk whenever they want, and even show off on the Internet. Network has become the best place for grassroots to show their individuality and express themselves. Even an ordinary girl like Sister Furong can become famous overnight as long as she dares to make public and express herself. The grassroots in the Internet age have shown unprecedented strength.

grass roots culture

Grassroots began in the United States in the19th century, when the United States was immersed in the gold rush. At that time, it was widely rumored that where the grass roots on the surface of the mountain soil grew luxuriantly, there was gold under it. Later, the word "grassroots" was introduced into the field of sociology, and "grassroots" was given the connotation of "grassroots people".

In recent cultural studies, many scholars have quoted the word "grassroots". Weeds have tenacious vitality because of their ordinary nature; Weeds are life created by sunlight, water and soil; Weeds seem loose, but they are endless; Weeds will never grow into towering trees, but they will live forever because they are rooted in the earth.

Weeds are endowed with human spirit, even with stubborn human weakness. Grassroots have strong cohesion, more vitality and independence. Tianjin's Wei culture, wharf culture and Xiaoyanglou culture all originate from the grassroots nature of Tianjin culture, which should be recognized as the most fundamental feature of Tianjin culture.

Grass-roots culture is relative to imperial culture and court culture. Born and raised by the people, it has not been guided and standardized by mainstream consciousness, nor has it been processed and transformed by cultural elites. Full of local flavor and rich life consensus. Grassroots culture not only sets the life concept of Tianjin people, but also affects the spiritual realm of several generations of Tianjin people.

Tianjin's roads expand along the river, not for vertical and horizontal standardization, but for convenience and smoothness. This road, like a street, twists and turns, regardless of things, north and south. Beijingers can't find the north when they visit Tianjin, and the grass-roots culture confuses the culture of the imperial capital, so they have a guilty conscience.

Folk houses are also people-oriented, including standard quadrangles, luxury houses, small houses, painting houses and "fence lights". Living conditions are by no means a sign of Tianjin people's identity. Rich and powerful people have "A Dou", there are strange people in the market, and they don't show off in residential areas. There is no fence in the yard, and residents from all directions are mixed together; Courtyard twists and turns, strangers visit, get in, can't get out; Outside every household, briquette stoves and trucks are parked for a living. The car glass says "Li Ji Roast Chicken" and "Mr. Liu Fried Meat", all of which are family-style famous brands.

Why Tianjin people should live with righteousness stems from the grass-roots complex, and integrity is the highest moral standard of Tianjin people. Tianjin commercial bank, based on honesty, didn't produce fake wine or sell fake drugs in Tianjin until the illegal wind prevailed, and there was no major human trafficking case. No cheating, no harm, no ill-gotten gains, and build a harmonious society.

Tianjin is one of the birthplaces of modern education in China. There are no scholar, Wen Yuan Pavilion, Wenshui Pavilion, Bailudong and Yuelu Academy. One of the reasons is the grass-roots nature of Tianjin culture-facing the education of the vast majority of people, it is naturally the most vital education.

Tianjin Art Garden shows the grassroots nature of culture, the famous saying in the field of opera, Beijing learns opera, Tianjin sings red, and Shanghai earns Yin Bao. The Forbidden City in Tibet, which flows in church meetings, is at best an appreciation. Only when Tianjin became popular, was recognized by the overwhelming majority of the people, and experienced a grass-roots process, could it have an artistic life. As the birthplace of Quyi, cross talk, drums, pendants, string playing, storytelling and popular tune, Tianjin is a fertile ground for cultivating artists, and Tianjin people are close friends of artists. Then several modern operas matured in Tianjin, and even moved from Tianjin to the whole country-grassroots is their common success gene.

"Jing Youzi" and "Wei Zuizi" are China people's general definitions of Beijingers and Tianjin people, and they are also the differences in the cultural landscapes of the two cities, which fundamentally summarize the personality characteristics of Beijingers and Tianjin people. It is repugnant to say that Beijingers are "Beijing wanderers". Tianjin people proudly say that they are "defenders".

The eight major cuisines compete with each other, and Tianjin people who love to eat are naturally unwilling to be lonely and create their own food. Goubuli steamed stuffed bun, 18th Street twist, fried cake with ears. Regardless of the characteristics of these three famous foods, just saying the titles of these three famous foods, Eighteen Streets, Ears and Eyes, and Dogs Ignore, is full of goodwill.

The so-called grassroots cultural connotation, grassroots cultural packaging, and out-and-out grassroots culture, Tianjin deserves it. (Beijing time 0 1, 2005)
