What's a picnic if you're not wild?

/

It is said that 2020 is the first year of picnics in China.

Because from the spring of March, people in the circle of friends began to have picnics one after another, until this May Day holiday, which almost reached a climax.

Open a circle of friends, as long as there are red plaid cloth, rattan baskets and flowered skirts, you can guess that you are having a picnic, and you don't even need to order a big picture.

Someone joked: "A China, a picnic."

If this is the first year of picnics in China, it is better to say that this is the first year of picnics for online celebrities in China.

Celebrities have picnics online, and so do beautiful women.

A plaid cloth, several rattan baskets, wooden plates, sandwiches, desserts, wine with English labels, flowers and even balloons, as well as small stereos, ukuleles, magazines and books, English newspapers ... The picnics that appear this year are always nothing more than these factors.

I don't believe you, go to Xiaohongshu to search for a picnic guide. Most styles are similar. Even the props, composition and color matching when taking pictures are listed for you. Just press this template to unlock the same picnic.

Search for the word "picnic" on Taobao, and "online celebrity picnic kit" and "ins picnic" will appear immediately. Place an order with one click, and the online celebrity picnic with the same paragraph will be in place immediately.

In fact, the pursuit of beauty is understandable, and imitation is not necessarily impossible. Just as my friend sent a similar picture, I just wanted to ask: Is it tired of aesthetics? Do picnics have to be like this?

What's even more funny is that some people took roast chicken and shrimp and a bunch of snacks to have a picnic, just like the enhanced version of the spring outing in primary school, but they were pushed to the hot search. Netizens laughed and said that such a picnic was too real.

Seeing this, I really just want to shout: "I can have a picnic like this!" " "Have a picnic, is it not when the weather is fine, bask in the sun, look at the green eyes and eat your favorite food? !

Why did this become a funny sand sculpture series? Does exquisiteness have nothing to do with big meals?

There is a group in Douban called "Are you exquisite today?" I thought it was to share how to live a better life every day, but when I opened it, I was sharing my own plastic surgery experience.

I can't help asking, is our understanding of exquisiteness too simple and rude? Is exquisiteness just a precise aesthetic under human science and technology? It's like we're too simple about the beauty of picnics, isn't it?

Online celebrity picnics, "beauty is beauty, no soul", because it is too unified and has no thoughts.

Just like in our time, it is better for someone to tell me how to do it with one click and then copy and paste it.

The essence of a picnic is wildness.

What is a picnic? Its English name is picnic, which originated in Europe in the18th century. It is a formal royal social activity.

At that time, when the nobles had a picnic, they had to set tables and chairs outdoors, and there would be servant service. Later, I gradually sat on the floor and became a leisure activity for the public.

Nowadays, the picnics popular in the circle of friends can be said that the aesthetics come from Renaissance paintings. For example, Monet's Lunch on the Grass. In the shade of summer, the sun is shining. The girls are wearing flowered skirts, fine food is covered with white linen, and champagne is there.

Everything is beautiful, especially the sunshine through the shade. After so many years, it seems that you can touch the temperature of that day and the joy of that picnic in the face of paintings.

Turning to the picnic in the circle of friends, I was very confused: did everyone go to the same grassland? Was the wind neither cold nor hot that day? Did you meet anything interesting at the picnic that day?

Perhaps this is the biggest problem of online celebrity picnics.

The real meaning of picnics lies in the wild. It is to feel the sunshine and breeze of nature and the agility of vegetation in the gap of urban life. We want to have a picnic because of our longing for nature and the countryside after living in concrete for a long time.

However, I often only see pictures of intensive picnics.

Picnic, less wild, more PS.

The best picnic is to enjoy the present.

When I was searching for the topic of picnics on Zhihu, I saw someone asking, "Why don't people in China have picnics?"

The following reply is: "Why don't people in China have picnics? It's just a picnic! "

Go to a mountain river, burn some firewood, or build a kiln, roast chicken, roast sweet potato, roast corn ... this is also a suitable picnic. But maybe, it's just that the photos are not so beautiful.

So, some people may say, why not have a picnic among online celebrities? Don't you need a sense of ceremony in life? Should we go on a picnic together?

Yes, life needs a sense of ceremony, but it's not just for ceremony.

Those same picnics are all similar floral skirts and similar postures. It seems that form is more important than content.

Lin in the Republic of China was also a person who liked picnics very much. Whenever she is free, she will ride a donkey to have a picnic in the mountains and ancient temples, leaving famous picnics.

Her picnic is also well-equipped, covered with squares, with beautiful snack boxes, glass jars and indispensable bamboo baskets.

Lin's picnic is also exquisite and beautiful, but it gives people a different feeling. Maybe it's because she's still talking and pouting in the camera, which is a little naughty. This is not a posing photo, but a moment inadvertently recorded during a picnic. That's why it moves.

In this shot, Lin and her companions are talking, enjoying the fine weather and delicious food they prepared that day, instead of going back to send a photo and basking in the sun.

This is the fun of picnics.

It can be salad, western-style afternoon tea with avocado, fried chicken, mutton kebabs and crayfish. It can be a plaid placemat with Internet celebrity style and INS style, and it can also be a folding stool with sports style.

No matter China people or network celebrities, they should be different, and they don't need to be sunburned.

The focus of the picnic is the wild. Is to enjoy the fun and life in the wild comfortably!
