Chapter 17 me and classics

I don't want to sit down and write an article "Me and Chinese Classical Literature".I want to be honest about my likes and dislikes in this field, maybe this can help critics and readers understand my creation better. I have written two review articles.One is to comment on the new film "Women from a Good Family" by the film director Huang Jianzhong, and the title is "Bi Hai Qing Tian Ye Ye Xin".I chose such a poem as the title of the article because my feelings about these two works naturally collided with these two poems in the memory center. This shows that the influence of classical poetry on me is subtle.

I once translated dozens of poems of "Guofeng" in a notebook. Those love poems considered by sages to have subtle meanings, for me, there is no emotion other than the love of boys and girls, such as "Qingqing Zijin, Yoyo My Heart” I translated without hesitation as: why don't you come my heart, my heart, I only have you in my heart, right? Only your figure in Tsing Yi? Even if I can't find you, huh? But why don't you get a message At that time, I was about 17 years old. After reading "Chu Ci", recited Yuefu poems, and finally focused on Tang poetry and Song Ci.I have long heard that the leader likes "San Li", and following an invisible trend, I found San Li's poems to read.Li Bai is naturally good, and Li Shangyin's "Untitled" poem fascinates me, but I don't like Li He much.His imagination is naturally rich, but I am not willing to accept difficult things, such as "Yang Sheng's Blue and White Purple Ancient Inkstone Song", which was later adopted into middle school Chinese textbooks. I didn't let all the students understand the meaning of "〖〖FJF〗Hai〖FJJ〗〖FJF〗Cong〖FJJ〗The mouth is full of water, and the blood is cold and bloody.Even if I finally figured it out, it would be boring, so I still like a plain, smooth, and open-minded style.For example, in Bai Juyi's "Bitter Cold in the Village", after writing "Looking back at the villages, ten rooms are poor. The north wind is as sharp as a sword, and the cloth is not covered...", he can have such introspection: "Gu I am like this day, the door of thatched cottage is deeply closed. Brown fur is covered with quilt, and there is warmth in sitting and lying down. I am spared from hunger and cold, and I have no ridges. I am ashamed when I am tired. I ask myself who it is." I think this is the spirit of humanitarianism , It is deeply admirable, and it is also what I should try my best to learn.

Song Ci did not inspire me much in terms of spiritual connotation, but the effect of frequent recitation made me understand the rhythm of Chinese characters and the mystery of word layout. During the "Cultural Revolution", I only had three volumes of "Wei Suzhou Collection", which were poorly printed, and I pressed them under my pillow. In the dead of night, when a lamp was like a fist, I secretly took it out and flipped through it casually.So those verses that express etherealness and serenity, in such a specific situation, are like a stream of sweet spring, deeply soothing my tormented heart:

It's cold in the county today, and I suddenly miss the guest in the mountains. ? At the bottom of the stream, the thorns are paid, and when they come back, they cook the white stone. ? I want to hold a ladle of wine to comfort the wind and rain. ? The mountains are full of fallen leaves, where to find traces Now that time has passed, and when I read such poems again, I feel different again, but Wei Suzhou has almost become the ancient poet I am most familiar with and favorite. It is said that most people who read Chinese classical novels will inevitably be fascinated by "Water Margin" first, then be enthusiastic about it, and finally. "Read less "Water Margin"" is especially considered a regular phenomenon.I also read "Water Margin" when I was young, but for some reason, my feelings seemed to be different from those of my peers.I can't bear the behavior of selling buns for human flesh, even if it is done by heroes.When Li Kui robbed the execution ground, he swung his ax and hacked all the way down. Not only the bad guys were chopped down, but also many people who were just watching the fun or passing by by chance. Such scenes also hurt my conscience.There are still some places that make me uncomfortable.Calm down, I think that among the hundred and eight heroes, only the prodigal son Yanqing completely matches my inner orientation.This kind of attitude towards "Water Margin" probably surprised many people! I couldn't read it line by line patiently, and often had to skip many boring passages and pick out interesting places to read.However, it is my favorite.I secretly read it when my parents still announced that it was my forbidden book, and then I read it many times, often not reading it one by one, but turning to a certain chapter and reading a certain chapter.The character Xiaohong left a deep impression on me, but unfortunately, Cao Xueqin didn't finish shaping this character in time, and Gao E's sequel almost lost this character. "There is no banquet that never ends." The author did not let Lin Daiyu, Qingwen, Ping'er, or anyone else say the words, but let Xiaohong say it. I think it is definitely not interesting. .Only Xiaohong sees through the human condition and the state of the world. She does not follow the swarm of girls chasing or fantasizing about Jia Baoyu's love, but realistically measures the maximum happiness that the objective environment can give her.She is neither blindly "feeling in spring sleepiness", nor is she vainly "nice and charming", but carefully designed, boldly acted, and steadily approached her goal.As described in the first eighty chapters, the Jia Yun that Xiaohong pursues is not so unworthy of pursuit.Gao E later wrote Jia Yun so unbearably, I think it was not Cao Xueqin's original intention.In addition, my feelings about the character Aunt Zhao in the movie may be even more different.I don’t know why the author can calmly adopt the method of “dual combination of characters” when writing about other characters, such as writing the villainous Sister Feng, writing about the lecherous Jia Zhen and Jia She, and writing about the absurd and domineering Xue Pan. Show mercy", and meticulously portray their multifaceted and often contradictory, blending and repelling character traits, such as Sister Feng's wit, heartiness, charm and enchantment, Jia Zhen's sincerity and Jia She's resentment but not anger, Xue Pan's innocence and honesty, filial piety to mother and sister, and so on.But when the author wrote about Aunt Zhao and Jia Huan, the mother and son, he was not so calm and reserved, especially for Aunt Zhao, who simply wrote about her side, which made readers feel bored, so later commentators such as " Flower protector" and the like, all use words like "snake and scorpion" to characterize Aunt Zhao.But after I read it through, somehow, I developed a lot of sympathy for Aunt Zhao.Please put yourself in her shoes. If Lian Qingwen, Lian Siqi, and the twelve officials all have fun in their lives, then, by comparison, isn’t Aunt Zhao’s living conditions inferior to them? Aren't those detestable behaviors described by the author a kind of resistance to reality and a kind of venting of anger? She is really unfortunate.How Cao Xueqin's sympathy and understanding for her almost reached zero is really a mystery.

My novel adopts a very special style of structure. Dozens of characters appear in the novel, but there is no main character. Is it influenced by "The Scholars"?" My answer is no.Writing a group of characters, discarding a group of characters, there are not many characters that run through to the end, but mine, as a group composed of many characters, runs through from beginning to end.I was only about 20 years old when I read it. I didn’t like this novel. Of course, it was because my social experience was too lacking, and I didn’t have enough understanding of the era and society reflected in the novel. I didn’t re-read this work afterwards.

The category of Chinese classical literature is extremely broad.The works of various schools of thought, "Historical Records", "Hanshu", ... are also within this category. Since when did philosophy, politics, economics, science, technology, history, and geography begin to be published? I don't know about the obvious separation from literature.Anyway, sometimes my purpose for reading ancient books is not very clear. For example, when I read "Luoyang Jialan Ji", I don't know whether I want to understand the Buddhist grandeur at that time, or to appreciate the vivid writing.Most of the reading of "West Lake Travel Chronicle" is just to compare the places I have traveled in the West Lake, and to get a kind of association.Reading "Yu Chu Xin Zhi" is purely for novelty hunting. ?

I have also read songs and legends.I don't like it that much, although its awareness of anti-feudal ethics has reached an admirable height.It was too cold to fail to graduate.My favorite is that I have read it many times.I especially like the twenty-seventh book "Fengzhou". The feeling of the vicissitudes of the world arises spontaneously, which makes people unable to restrain all kinds of skin-to-skin thoughts.I don't know why the later Kunqu Opera didn't perform this excerpt After talking about it sweatily, I always felt that everything was missing.For example, the nourishment given to me, I almost forgot to mention it.Except for Mr. Pu's repeated admiration for women's small feet, all his love stories gave me a sense of super-vulgar beauty, and he wrote classical Chinese so clearly that it didn't feel like he was reading classical Chinese. It's amazing.

In recent years, I feel that I am in an era of information explosion, and there is too much information to absorb.Therefore, I don’t read much Chinese classical literature or foreign classical literature. I mainly read Chinese and foreign contemporary literature, but occasionally I still have to pull out a book like “Li He’s Poems” from the shelf. Come on, just flip through it, and make adjustments: Orchid dew, like crying eyes.Nothing is united, and the fireworks are unbearable to cut.The grass is like a rug, the pine is like a cover, the wind is like a garment, and the water is like a shield.Oil wall car, treat each other day and night.Leng Cui Zhu, Lao Guangcai.Under Xiling, wind and rain.

It’s very good! I can’t say enough about the richness in it! From this point of view, the impression of Li He mentioned above is, after all, an impression of lack of level in his youth. It seems that many classical literary works he has read in the past , should be re-appreciated one by one after reading more and more, and many classical literary works that have not been read before should really be made up in time.It’s just that life is limited and time is running out, so what should I do? Here are the last four sentences of Tao Yuanming’s Miscellaneous Poems: If you don't come back to the prime of life, it's hard to get a morning again.

Timely encouragement, time waits for no one.
