As is indicated in the above picture. the emerging term“Shanzhaiculture"，or copycat culture, is gaining popularity in China. Once usedto describe the copying of electronic products，the catchphrase hasnow been applied to the cloning of everything that is popular，rangingfrom daily necessities to entertainments，even celebrities. Nowadaysthe phenomenon has stirred a heated debate in China. Some people. especially youngsters，voice their support for Shanzhaiculture，believing it adds diversification to orthodox culture and bringsfun to our lives. At the same time, they point out that it breaksconventional boundary and challenges authority. Thus，the trendshould be encouraged as long as it doesn't violate laws and regulations. In contrast，others urge a campaign be launched to combat therampant activities，which will probably lead to certain consequences. Forone thing. the copying of brand products is a kind of piracy, runningcounter to Intellectual Property Rights;for another, under thedisguise of grass-roots wisdom，Shanzhai culture proves to be anaction lacking creativity and therefore will hamper our innovation in thelong run. Personally. I side with the latter party. In spite of its currentprosperity, I am convinced that under no circumstances is Shanzhaiculture going to replace what it imitates. 如上圖所示，嶄露頭角的“山寨文化”，即模仿文化，在國(guó)內(nèi)越來(lái)越流行。這個(gè)時(shí)髦詞原意指仿造的電子產(chǎn)品，而今可用于描述任何流行事物的模仿:從日常用品到娛樂(lè)活動(dòng)，甚至是名人。如今這一現(xiàn)象引發(fā)了人們熱烈的爭(zhēng)論。 有些人，尤其是年輕人，支持山寨文化，認(rèn)為它使正統(tǒng)文化更加多元，而且為我們的生活帶來(lái)了樂(lè)趣。同時(shí)，他們指出，山寨文化打破傳統(tǒng)的界限，并挑戰(zhàn)，因此在不違反法律法規(guī)的情況下，應(yīng)鼓勵(lì)這一趨勢(shì)。 與之相反，另一些人則極力主張發(fā)起一場(chǎng)運(yùn)動(dòng)，與這一猖撅的行為作斗爭(zhēng)，因?yàn)樗赡軙?huì)導(dǎo)致某些后果。其一，對(duì)產(chǎn)品的仿造是某種意義上的剿竊，與知識(shí)產(chǎn)權(quán)背道而馳;其二，盡管披著草根智慧的外衣，山寨文化被證明是缺乏創(chuàng)造力的行為，因此從長(zhǎng)遠(yuǎn)來(lái)看，它會(huì)阻礙創(chuàng)新意識(shí)的發(fā)展。 個(gè)人而言，我贊成第二種觀點(diǎn)。我相信，盡管山寨文化現(xiàn)在很流行，但它決不會(huì)取代被其模仿的事物。
