Chapter 4 After "Feeling Old" (Part 1)

Abundance I was not careful, and felt old for a while, so I brought out an article "Zhuangzi" and "Selected Works" by Mr. Shi Zhecun[2]. Not for him. I would like to make a few statements: the article "Grassing the Old" was not written for Mr. Shi, but Mr. Shi can be included in it. If it was addressed to an individual, according to the current modern rules, one should investigate the opponent's hometown, family background, appearance, and even what products are produced in his hometown, what shop his old man opened, and a few allusions to him are considered appropriate.There was none of that in my article.The inside refers to the ethos of a large group of leftovers, and does not specify who or whom; but because it refers to a group, of course there will be many people who are touched, even if not the whole body, it is a part of it. One quarter, even if not always to that team, but sometimes to that team.Now that Mr. Shi has said that he has persuaded young people to read "Wen Xuan" "for the help of literary cultivation", it is naturally related to what I criticized, but it is indeed "nervous" to think that this article was written for him. , I really didn't mean that.

But this was before Mr. Shi did not explain his opinion, but now even this "relevance" is a little distant, because what I am criticizing is the more stubborn orphans, and the standard is a little higher. Now after reading Mr. Shi's own explanation, (1) I know his situation at that time, because the manuscript paper was too small, "if it was wider", he "would like to write more books into it"; (2) Only then did I know that his previous experience was "from a Chinese teacher to a magazine editor", and felt that "the young people's articles are too clumsy and straightforward, with too little vocabulary", so I recommended these two ancient books to let them study grammar and find vocabulary , "Although many of the characters are dead", but they have no choice but to look for them.I think, if Zhuang Zi was born today, after the coffin was split open [3], I am afraid that all women who want to get married should be advised to read "The Legend of Martyr Girls" [4].

One more point - (1) Mr. Shi said that it was wrong for me to compare "literary accomplishment" with bottles and wine, but I did not make such a comparison. I meant that some new youths can have old ideas, and some old forms New content can also be hidden.I also think that there cannot be a clear boundary between "new literature" and "old literature", but there is transformation and a comparative bias, and because "what is the boundary" cannot be used, there is no "third type of person" [5] position. (2) Mr. Shi said that writing seal characters, etc., is a personal matter, as long as you don't force others to do the same thing, it seems quite right.However, middle school students and contributors, because their own articles are too clumsy and straightforward, and their vocabulary is too small, they did not force others to write articles with a small vocabulary and clumsy grammar. Should I read "Anthology"?As an examiner, Mr. Shi does not take it seriously, but when he is a teacher and editor, he uses "Selected Works" to persuade young people. I really don't understand the boundary between them.

(3) Mr. Shi also mentioned "Mr. Lu Xun", as if he had inherited Zhuangzi's new orthodoxy, and all articles were read from "Selected Works". "I thought it was a bit arbitrary" too.In his articles, it is true that there are many words that belong to "Wen Xuan", such as "Zhi Hu Zhe Ye", but these words may not be missing in other books.To put it a bit more bluntly, it is a fool to look for movable type vocabulary from such books, and I am afraid that Mr. Shi himself may not be sure.
