The story is too simple.
So after watching it, you don't forget it immediately; instead, it becomes more and more profound.
This is ridiculous!
"Are you sure you're not talking about a mistake a beginner makes, but about the works of Tao?" Xiaoli asked.
Xiao Guang chimed in, "That's right, I don't think Dao would make such a basic mistake."
"Could you be mistaken? I still don't quite understand," Xiaoqing said.
Xiao Wen knew about the three people's confusion; he had initially felt the same way as them.
Then he laughed and said:
"Indeed, beginners often make this mistake: the storyline is too simplistic."
"But this is the truth; his story is simple, or more accurately, unpretentious, not simplistic."
"Is there any difference?" Before Xiaowen could finish speaking, the three of them asked in unison.
"Of course there is a difference, a difference as vast as heaven and earth."
However, to their surprise, Xiaowen spoke very seriously.
Ignoring the expressions of the three people, Xiaowen took a deep breath and explained her thoughts one by one:
"I believe you can understand it if I use just one word to describe it."
"The word is—back to basics!"
"Returning to simplicity?"
The three of them exclaimed in unison.
"yes."
Xiao Wen nodded; this was a truth he had pondered for a long time before finally understanding.
"The meaning of 'returning to simplicity' needs no further explanation, right?"
"Some people's writing has returned to simplicity, some people's skills have returned to simplicity, and some people's painting skills have returned to simplicity..."
"As we all know, Dao's painting skills are extraordinary, which is why we feel so comfortable looking at the Nine-Colored Deer without any sense of incongruity."
"But I think the same is true of Tao's storytelling ability; he tells the stories in the murals in his own way."
"It's like we're swimming in a comfortable hot spring, letting the temperature flow through our bodies and silently nourish our nerves."
"That's why, through the combined effect of painting and storytelling, we can have such a profound understanding of such an ordinary story."
"Perhaps we don't subconsciously think the Nine-Colored Deer is excellent, but in fact our bodies have already given the best feedback."
"It's like a simple story; to others, it's just a pile of shit, but to the Dao, it's like sweet spring water and gentle rain, deeply touching people's hearts."
"So why do so many people think that this animated film, which is so simple, is ranked number one?"
"Because they simply did not realize that the Tao was explaining the most basic truths to them in the simplest way."
"This is no longer a painting technique, nor a narrative technique, but something that transcends any technique—the Way!"
"Skill approaches the Tao, and art can reach the divine!"
