The original intention of setting up the "piano staircase" is to satisfy the people's travel needs, at the same time, to bring spiritual pleasure and spiritual comfort to people, to enhance the cultural taste of the subway, and to advocate citizens'movement and travel healthily. However, the indifference of rule consciousness and public spirit, so that some "refined egoists" in order to meet their own needs, damage the rights and dignity of others, so that the subway staircase into the "tragedy of the commons".
In a risk society with increasing uncertainties, "piano staircase" will inevitably cause some people's safety anxiety. Different pedestrians have an unbalanced demand for "piano elevators". Some people rush to get through the elevators quickly, while others try to appreciate novel, interesting and participatory performances and performances, which will inevitably make it difficult for the public to tune in. What's more worrying is whether pedestrians will have accidents when they are distracted and go down stairs. So?
Different people's role playing in public space is also a mirror of the scale of civilization. In an age of instrumental rationality, some people occupy the "piano stairs" in order to stand out in the competition for attention, become the object of others to watch, envy, and even to realize their interests; this kind of eyes only have their own but no other people's practice, in the final analysis is the lack of border awareness and community boundaries. Limitations, lack of transposition thinking and understanding of others' civilization accomplishment.
People who have traveled to Taiwan, China, will find that when the subway takes an escalator, the local people will stand on the right side of the escalator and leave the left side empty; after consulting the local college students, I learned that the purpose of doing this is to give people who are in a hurry or have urgent matters to deal with. To provide a fast passage channel; to understand the "beauty of adulthood" not only improves the cultural taste and style of the subway, but also highlights the level of civilization in a place.
Utilizing subway public space to enhance the cultural taste of a city is a test for many big cities. The reading atmosphere of Beijing subway, the behavior art of Guangzhou subway, the art exhibition of Nanjing subway, the poetry activities of Wuhan subway... A city needs a subway culture with a sense of identity, and we can understand the intentions and pains of the "piano staircase"; but what the effect of the "piano staircase" is, obviously, requires time baptism and the test of the common people.
To upgrade the cultural taste of subway, we need the beauty of architecture, art, science and technology, and human participation. In other words, everyone is the spokesman of the subway culture, everyone's gestures, but also highlights a city's civilized accomplishment, cultural taste and style.
Through this article, we hope that people will pay attention to abide by the public safety rules to avoid unnecessary disputes.
