Chinanews client, Beijing, November 11 (Ren Siyu) Recently, a kind of literature that sounds rather western is spreading wildly on the Internet-Versailles literature.
Let's look at a multiple choice question first:
My husband bought me a Lamborghini, how should I pick it up?
A. It costs more than 3 million.
B. It's so beautiful in my mansion!
C. But the color is so ugly, straight men are really earthy.
If you choose C, congratulations, you know the essence of Versailles literature.
Versailles literature is not a derivative product of the friendly exchanges between Chinese and French literature, but a style created by netizens, which was carried forward on Weibo by an emotional writer, which in turn triggered a national carnival.

The main position of this kind of literature is in social networks, especially in the circle of friends. The biggest feature is inadvertently revealing wealth, showing off in a roundabout way, and quietly showing a high-end quality of life. Those seemingly unpretentious and boring circle of friends Behind it, there is a vague theme:
"Oh, people don't want to be like this, but what if I am so rich/handsome/beautiful/excellent?"

In fact, Versailles literature has been circulating on social networks for more than half a year. In He Jiong's words, he concludes that Versailles literature is "using the lowest-key words to show off the highest-profile glory."
Its founder and Weibo humor blogger "Little Milk Ball" said in an interview that she found her inspiration from the Japanese comic "The Rose of Versailles" which tells the life of the nobles in the Palace of Versailles in France at the end of the 18th century.
"I just want to use this word to mock those people. They undoubtedly want to use a'simple and unpretentious' tone to express the feeling of superiority."
"The Rose of Versailles".
Its recent popularity comes from a Weibo sent by an emotional writer "Meng Qiqi 77". This writer claims to live in a big villa and drives a Tesla. The most frequent place to check in is at the East Third Ring Road in Beijing. High-end shopping center, come and experience:

Strictly speaking, the blog post of this sentimental writer has not received 100% true biography of Versailles literature.
According to the video summary of "Little Milk Ball", Fanxue has three classic elements: the text should be suppressed first, and then be praised. The answer is self-questioning, and he likes to "reply" in the comment area; be able to flexibly use the third-person perspective with the help of Compliment yourself from the mouth of others.
"My native husband threw away the Gucci children's shoes that my daughter bought!"
"When there is no alcohol at home, I silently took out the SK-II to wipe and disinfect. After all, in my eyes, this thing is alcohol."

In addition to a large number of attributive adverbials in the text, expressions and positioning are also bonus points for all learning. For example, a dumbfounded expression is most suitable for expressing the kind of "light helplessness", while brand flagship stores, sports car 4S stores, high-end restaurants, first-class lounge areas Can look more tasteful.
It should be noted that there is a big difference between learning and showing off directly. I am afraid that I will fail to express my mind here. Excellent Versailles literature should have ups and downs, first suppressed and then raised. Its essence lies in the modest "ordinary". ", and the "although but" logic hidden behind it.

In short, all learning seems careless, but the operation requires every effort. Only careful study and frequent review can understand the true meaning of it.
So, after studying Fanxue for a day, netizens began to use their creativity and handed in their own homework:
Where food:
"I'm embarrassed to say it. I only recently learned that eggs have shells. I used to be peeled by the housekeeper. I always thought that the eggs were white and soft."

Where academic:
"I had a essay with my girlfriend, and proposed to send a'send or not to send a paper' to my boyfriends. I didn’t get back to me after 15 minutes. I was about to blow up my hair. My girlfriend suddenly called out in surprise. I turned my head and saw him stride. Walking towards me, he said in a deep voice:'It takes me 15 minutes to post a C journal.'"

They even moved out various "originators of Versailles", such as the Kunlun School's wife Han Juan (please bring your own voice to read):
"It's boring. It's okay to look at. Actually, it's just going out to be a little more prestigious, with a little more money, and a more comfortable life, no other benefits."

There is also the poet Li Bai: "I don't know the moon when I am young, so I call it a white jade plate."

Just when the literature of Versailles quickly became popular, it also became a game of grievances. It had no profound meaning, but it was indeed a source of happiness for people.
Everyone’s enthusiasm for tasting lies in their eagerness to pierce these exaggerations. For example, a blogger who uses an Apple phone to post Weibo, but the screenshot of the show transfer shows that it is an Android screen?
Show off driving a convertible to the university cafeteria to eat, but what other netizens just took?

Today, the blogger’s Weibo has formed a very interesting comparison, such as a verse from Versailles yesterday:
"I often forget to wear a hairband when I grow my hair. He bought a dozen hairbands in different colors. Every time I go out, I want to tie my hair to him. The point is, every time the color of the hairband on his wrist is the same as mine. The color of the clothes matches very well, and they are all the same color each time. He said that before going out, he would take different hairbands according to my clothes. The sweetness of the details is the most touching."
The forwarding area is all praising another netizen’s creativity:
"When I was chatting with Xie Guangkun today, I suddenly remembered something. I eat scallion dipping sauce every day, so he bought a cart of scallions. Every time I wanted to use scallions for dipping sauce, I went to him. He was afraid that I would get tired and bought Scallions from different origins. From Zhangqiu, Linyi, Heze, Jiaozhou, and Zaozhuang, I can taste different flavors every day. The sweetness in the details is the most touching."

But what is more intriguing is that under the attention economy, "black and red" has become another way of red. Just when everyone is still reading the golden verses of Versailles with relish, the blogger has already posted two advertisements to bring goods. , Enjoy yourself in the attention and traffic of netizens.
The protagonists of Versailles literature exaggerated their rhetoric, showing their "sweet burden" of being loved and wrapped in wealth, but when you think about it, there seems to be a trace in our real life.
For example, the copywriting of the circle of friends that can be purchased online, and the network personality that can be packaged. Although the scholars of Versailles use the euphemism of the eighteen bends of the mountain road, they still expect to be watched and admired by the audience. They are decorated with materialized symbols. inside of.
Some people think that Versailles literature is just a fake dream that satisfies narcissism. Others think that showing superiority and exposure to life are the freedom of others. After all, "showing off is one's own, embarrassment is another's." Up.

Everyone loves to imitate Fanxue and expresses their attitude towards this kind of "embarrassment" in a humorous way. Instead of indulging in the carefully paved illusion, it is better to keep your feet on the ground and grasp the real life around you.
The introduction of the Douban "Versailles Study Group", which has already been joined by 40,000 people, wrote: "If you can make everyone aware of the problems in their value orientation and focus on the essence of a better life instead of deliberately It’s a good thing to create a hypocritical, agent-like sense of self and to focus most of your energy on social distribution."
Maybe within a few days, "Versailles Literature" will be replaced by other new stalks from netizens, just like many popular stalks.
So today, are you still reading Versailles literature?
