For example, thousands of tea cups on the table in the Great Hall are arranged vertically and horizontally, which is very spectacular! It took a lot of staff a long time to locate one by one with ropes.

Compared with the content and significance of the meeting, this strict and accurate arrangement is ineffective, which is called involution.

2. It is involution that complicates simple problems.

For example, some units have to make the whole decision-making process look scientific in order to implement the projects decided by the superior leaders and cope with the audit and inspection.

To this end, it took a lot of effort to make a set of scientific research reports, invited a group of experts and scholars to make suggestions, and held evaluation and demonstration meetings again and again. In fact, the project has long been decided by the leaders.

These huge and busy jobs consume money, time and energy, and make simple problems very complicated, with the purpose of programming and drawing the so-called circle of scientific decision-making. This is an involution.

3. In order to avoid responsibility, negative coping is also a kind of involution.

A few days before major festivals or sensitive periods, subordinate institutions must respond to the call of superiors and organize a major inspection of production safety (or stability).

As we all know, most leaders may not even have a certificate of safety production, and these inspections may not have any practical effect, but they still need to use a lot of manpower and material resources to complete this fixed action, so that they can be excused in case something goes wrong. This is also an involution.

4. Work that seriously deviates from the expected goal is also involuted.

Many evaluations created in society are involuted.

Because these competitions consume a lot of manpower and material resources, they can't use these competitions to promote their expected work, and their original intention can't be realized. Show elements are more than real effects.

For example, the Star of Entrepreneurship Competition, or the Pioneer Competition of Science and Technology Innovation jointly organized by several departments in a province. In fact, individuals will not start businesses because of competition, and technology companies will not engage in technological innovation because of competition.

The original intention of the contest is to promote individual entrepreneurship and technological innovation, but the actual effect is minimal. This competition is of course an infield.

5. Low-level imitation and replication are typical involution.

Micro-sculpture and micro-sculpture are only formal arts, and their creative content will only be less than normal-sized works of art, especially in coloring, which is fatally limited, and their artistic connotation cannot exceed normal artistic creation.

This deliberate exquisiteness is an involution. This is a kind of self-competition and a kind of asking for it.

I spent a lot of time and exhausted my willpower. Not only did I not create new content, but I also looked at it with a magnifying glass, which was exhausting.

6. Internal competition that limits creativity is a kind of institutional involution.

For example, the rigid examination system seriously limits the space for students to study and grow freely.

In order to get high marks, students are forced to study hard within the scope stipulated in the syllabus, which limits their free spirituality and stifles their creativity.

At the same time, in order to compete, the questioner had to make the examination questions bizarre.

For example, who fired the first shot, who fired the second shot, who fired the third shot, etc. in an uprising, this is involution.

7. The endless research on the same problem is involution.

China people's research on many historical masterpieces is amazing. With only a few books, countless scholars have been digging endlessly for a century or two. What new things can be produced?

But the research is still in-depth, and the refinement can be more detailed and endless.

Researchers wave after wave, but the content is constantly hyped, the papers are constantly copied, the original works are constantly distorted, and far-fetched evidence is used to be unconventional. In fact, it's just a pile of rotten meat in that pot, which is a typical involution.

There are many reasons for involution, so you don't have to delve into it or exhaust it, otherwise you may fall into it.
