13 Who is the real God?
"Is Haruhi Suzumiya a god? No, I don't think so."
During the "brainstorming"-style free discussion, Chu Xuan suddenly interrupted the dialogue between several people and put forward a brand new insight.
"I think 'Axu' is more likely to be a real god."
"What, what? How could Axu be a god? He has no ability, he is just an ordinary person..."
"These appearances are not important, I am looking at the hidden essence of the phenomenon."
Chu Xuan pushed the reflective glasses and made a "stop" gesture to Li Mingyuan, who immediately subconsciously refuted, and then analyzed it.
"From the essence of the novel, "Suzumiya Haruhi Series" is a light novel with young male readers as a group, and its real protagonist is "Axu".
The reason why A Xu was set as an ordinary high school student was more because he considered the readers' sense of substitution.
In the book, we can see that A Xu, as an ordinary high school student, was involved in various novel and interesting events. Several heroines who were supposed to be extremely difficult to guide easily expressed their extraordinary favorability to him...
This is clearly the treatment of the protagonist.
For a novel, the protagonist is the most important thing, and the real god.
As long as you are the protagonist, even if you walk on the road, you will fall from the sky. No matter what happens, you can naturally turn bad luck into good fortune. Even if you are not strong enough, you can kill gods and destroy demons...
These can be regarded as the protagonist's luck or the protagonist's "destiny". Even in real society, many wealthy and powerful people are keen on fortune telling and Feng Shui just to pursue this kind of luck.
Although in reality, as long as there are enough people who buy lottery tickets, there will definitely be people who win the jackpot. The so-called luck is just a random event in the probability. However, in the novel, the protagonist's fate is a final power that is not at the same level as him - that is, the author forcibly determined that the author said that the protagonist is a god, and then the protagonist is a god.
As an entertainment-oriented light novel, the protagonist setting of "Suzumiya Haruhi Series" is undoubtedly a god-like type in essence.
Regardless of whether the strength is at the level of god or not, everything around him always revolves around Ah Xu. The beautiful girl likes him. The enemy will eventually be defeated by him. The incident will definitely be resolved. In short, all the good things will be his...
If we are placed in this novel world set by the protagonist God, the protagonist we face will naturally be the real god in this world, because his destiny is the real destiny of God.
On the other hand, from the author Tanikawaru's way of thinking, we can also infer some other things.
Japan where Tanikawaru is located belongs to the pan-Chinese cultural circle, so his way of thinking has a lot in common with ours, all of which are Eastern-style thinking - or Chinese-style thinking.
There are many Chinese characters in the Japanese used by the Japanese. This means that Japanese is not a simple pinyin word, but an ideographic word.
As an author, Tanikawaru cannot be unaffected by Eastern thinking when using words. Not only should we pay attention to the hints and metaphors between the lines, but we should also consider the meaning expressed by the "words" itself.
I noticed that at the beginning of the story is A Xu's monologue - he does not believe in the existence of Santa Claus, but deep down he longs for the existence of these fantasies. He feels that such a world is more charming, fantasizing about being involved in such a world as a follower.
Here we can only be regarded as an introduction, but if combined with the following text, Suzumiya Haruhi was regarded as the word of God because of his ability to achieve everything he wanted - then according to this logic, the fantasies at the beginning of the story are now satisfied. Can he also be regarded as God?
In this way, the introduction at the beginning of the story actually became a code word that exposes all mysteries. This "reincarnation" is very consistent with the aesthetic taste of Eastern thinking.
Another point is that throughout the story, Ah Xu's real name has never appeared. Is this just a little joke from the author?
If you think deeper, you don’t have the real name, but use a specific word to refer to it - this behavior is called ‘tagging’, and it has its own special significance in Eastern and Western cultures.
In Eastern style thinking, the name that needs to be avoided is the real name of the elder, otherwise it will be disrespectful to it.
The names that need to be avoided in Western thinking are the real names of gods and demons. Westerners believe that the real names of gods and demons are magical, so they cannot be said directly.
As a Japanese author, he has been more influenced by Western culture than the Chinese. As long as he looks at this background, he can interpret the author's intention:
The reason why I never write down Axu's real name is because God's real name needs to be avoided.
He has actually been hinting in this way that Ah Xu is the real god.
This writing technique is very consistent with the unique Japanese aesthetics - the appearance is the Western culture that is now popular in Japan, but the underlying interest of Eastern culture is in the bones.
Let me contact what I said before, "The author of Eastern Style Thinking not only pays attention to the hints and metaphors between the lines, but also takes into account the meaning expressed by the "text" itself, and analyze the name Axu, and you can also draw a bolder inference-
That is, everything is actually just a dream of "A Xu", it is illusory and unreal.
In this way, the official Chinese translation of the name "Axu" recognized by Japanese publishing houses has the meaning expressed by the name itself.
Void.
This is very consistent with the Eastern style of thinking - like us Chinese, the Japanese also pay great attention to the profound meaning of the name itself when naming.
On the other hand, if you analyze it from a Japanese perspective, the word "Axu" added with a gram ョン, which became the word ョンシー. According to the Japanese custom of taking nicknames and nicknames, the second syllable can be omitted and can be pronounced as ョン.
And the Chinese meaning of jiョンシー is zombies.
Combined with the important time point of ‘three years ago’ mentioned repeatedly in the article, the final assumption can be drawn:
Three years ago, Ah Xu became like a zombie due to some accident, such as in the plot of "The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya", and his brain was dead, but his body was still active - that is, a vegetative person. Everything that happened afterwards was his dream.
It is precisely because the dream world was formed three years ago that no matter how capable all the forces in this world are, they can only go back to three years ago at most.
Since A Xu is the master of this dream, he is naturally the god of this dream world. It’s just that his god’s wish is not to be the protagonist, but to be a follower.
Of course, this is just my speculation, and the author's idea may not be like this."
"This... is difficult. Are we actually in Axu's dream world now?"
"There is not enough information to support it, so this can only be used as a possibility for reference. Don't worry too much, it doesn't matter if I take my guess as an alarmist momentum."
