How to become an outstanding, inside and outside the literary youth?
This article teaches you how to elegantly pretend to be literary in all aspects, and the steps are simple and feasible, so you can get started quickly.
Clothing
Either college style: white shirt or white T-shirt, jeans, seersucker, floral skirt, canvas shoes
Either ethnic style: jacquard sweater, bohemian skirt, boots
Either artistic style: T-shirt with a logo that no one else can read, or a culture shirt with a movie poster, motorcycle jacket, overalls, and round-toe leather boots. /p>
Eyeglasses and scarves are also a must-have for the literati, not only to make you look sassy, but also to make you look deep.
To summarize: a white shirt, denim or khaki pants with the legs pulled up, a canvas bag, high-top Converse shoes, and black-framed glasses are the standard of the standard.
Be sure to remember: don't mix and match the colors of your clothes, and be sure to match a pair of solid-colored little white or little black shoes.
Don't keep your hair short if you can keep it long, no matter male or female.
Drinking water
As a literati, even if only pseudo-literati, you must be careful about drinking water.
Must like coffee better than any other drink, and it can't be instant.
The next best thing is milk tea, and the next best thing is plain water.
Photography
Have a camera with a sufficiently vintage or stylish shape, Leica for those with money, LOMO for those without.
Photography that shows only a part of the body, or none at all, and substitutes objects for people.
Selfies should be taken with a stoop, a street scene, a renovated old factory, an old workshop turned into a gallery, or a graffiti-covered brick wall in the background.
Send them to your friends with the old saying, "If you are well, it's a sunny day".
Travel
Like to say, life is not just about what's in front of you, there are also poems and faraway places and fields, open mouth is to say travel.
The domestic Dali, Lijiang, Tibet, neighboring Chiang Mai, Kyoto is a literati gathering place.
No matter what mode of transportation you take, you like to sit by the window.
You can quietly look out the window at the scenery, but also helps to think about how to send a friend later.
Movies
Don't care if you can't understand them, you must watch foreign ones, French ones are the best.
For example, Midnight in Paris, Elegance of the Hedgehog, Blueberry Nights, The Grand Budapest Hotel, The Ballad of the Drunken Country, Becoming Jane Austen, She's Lonelier Than Fireworks, The Reader, Mindhunter, The Veil, and so on and so forth.
If you can't break out the foreign-language movies, the Mandarin movies have to be in good taste. Literary films are best, and even better if you can't understand the content.
For example, a few of Wang Shades' movies, such as "The Blue Door" starring Gui Lun-mei.
Music
Don't like to listen to pop and popular, love to listen to ballads, listen to rock.
Folk songs love these two mediums the most: Douban Xiaoban and Netease Cloud Music.
Must be niche, the more niche the better, to show your depth and difference.
Always say goodbye to rock ballads that are already famous, love tall, skinny and pretty wandering singers, and big over-ear headphones are a must.
Entry level must also be Eva Chen, foreign and Lisa Ono, Karen Ann, Jane Botkin and what not.
More ballads can be read: those years, we listened to the ballads together
Literature
What kind of books is not important, the important thing is, to have a literary soul.
Don't read books but especially love them, and in many cases buy books not to read but to enrich the bookcase.
Like paper books more than e-books, especially like to read books in cafes.
It is possible not to read the four books and five sutras, but must read western literature.
Four favorite authors are Marguerite Duras, with Milan Kundera, Haruki Murakami, and Eileen Chang.
Even if you don't have time to read their works, you must know them.
Also, must like Calvino, Borges, Rilke, Benjamin, Woolf, even if you don't know if they are male or female.
Fine Art
In addition to Van Gogh, Picasso, and Monet, get to know these fine art masters.
Andy Warhol: advocate and leader of Pop Art, representative works: "Marilyn Monroe", "Campbell's Can of Soup", "Coke Bottle"
Modigliani: an outstanding Italian master of painting, has always been regarded as comparable to Picasso, representative works: "Woman Holding a Fan", "Naked Woman Lying Horizontally", "Portrait of Jeannie J?rbuttnu"
Klimt: Austrian painter, master of Vienna Secession painting, masterpiece "Adele Bloch-Bauer I" is one of the most expensive paintings in the world.
Writing
To have a LAMY fountain pen, choose the industrial-style Hunter or Stellar series can be, not expensive and good.
To be emotionally charged, a sip of tea, but also to realize the true meaning of life, to see a burst of rain, but also to evoke infinite sadness.
Write down these stories of the light of day, be good at quoting famous people.
Literary style means that money is not so important, more important to the style of life.
The essence is: I don't necessarily mix well, but I'm at least not worldly.
Well, I'll just quietly watch you pretend. Don't worry, I won't laugh at you.
After all, the ashes of the literati also started from the pseudo-literati.
