Chapter 81 You must read Dong Qiao less

You must read Dong Qiao less Feng Tang Among the cities I have traveled, Hong Kong gave me the most experience of post-modernity.My definition of postmodernism is very simple: do not pay attention to the external society, do not pay attention to the inner soul, directly point to the instinct and the human heart, as if returning to the ancient times at a higher material level.Looking at Central on the 25th floor of the Yangtze River Center, on Queen's Road, passers-by are like ants, with earphones in their ears, expressionless, cars are like beetles, and even the side facing the sky is printed with Watsons and Tom Cruise. Ruth's new film "The Last Samurai."Passers-by and cars are like tiny cogs on a giant machine, coming and going with high efficiency and high density, without grand ideals and skin-to-skin sufferings in their hearts.The goals of the vast majority of people are simple and clear: food, clothing, housing, transportation, eating, drinking, whoring and gambling, unite for tomorrow, and tomorrow will be better.

So it is easy to say that Hong Kong has no culture and is a desert where money is piled up.I disagree with this.In Hong Kong, there are at least fat and talented talents Wang Jing and Chen Guo, as well as cool guys Huang Qiusheng and Zeng Zhiwei.However, such a place is not easy to grow a decent text.Li Bihua is an anomaly.Even in a certain cannibal tribe in Central Africa, there has been a witch in decades, who is good at talking in dreams, and has a well-proportioned sentence structure. When translated into Chinese, she is as talented as Li Qingzhao. Some people will say that Hong Kong has Jin Yong.However, is Jin Yong educated?Except that Wei Xiaobao's typicality is close to that of Ah Q, the status of other characters in the history of literature is slightly lower than that of Wei Xiaobao.Moreover, Jin Yong's young skills were practiced in the mainland, and they are inextricably linked with the education of the Kuomintang. After arriving in Hong Kong, they were basically exported.

Some people will say that Hong Kong has Dong Qiao. Dong Qiao has a brilliant background: a major in the Department of Foreign Languages ​​and Literature in Taiwan, a visiting scholar at the University of London, the editor of the "USA Today" series of the US News Service, a commentator for the British BBC, the editor-in-chief of "Ming Pao Monthly", the editor-in-chief of the Chinese version of "Reader's Digest", Editor-in-chief of "Ming Pao", a middle-aged bibliophile, and a member of the British Exlibris Association.Overseas, there is Su Liu advocating, and in the mainland, there is Chen Zishan shouting.Su Liu wrote an article, and Chen Zishan edited a collection of essays, both titled "You Must Read Dong Qiao".If you comment on petty bourgeoisie must-read writers, Dong Qiao is one of them.

The benefits of Dong Qiao, as I have repeatedly said, are nothing more than two points: writing and ancient meaning. Dong Qiao's writing, at best, is like graffiti addict Qianlong's writing, sweet and greasy.It's like a dessert, it tastes delicious after a bite.Eat a few lumps, unappetizing, bad teeth.For example: "The mottled memory and boundless nostalgia at the bottom of the pen occasionally leak a bit of poetic news." For example: the window bamboo shakes the shadow, the lingering youth of the wild spring dripping inkstone, the era of computer keyboard typing literature has come However, what I yearn for in my heart is actually Qingliangu Mountain, the quiet feeling of admiring flowers in red sun.In fact, Dong Qiao is not needed to write this kind of thing.I have seen a few Northeast rough guys who are famous for writing youthful and beautiful articles, and they often publish articles in fashion magazines such as "Hope" and "Girlfriend".I heard that I take a bath once every three weeks in winter and once every two weeks in summer, and the underarm odor is strong and the nose hair is thick.They opened their mouths and said: "There is a rose-colored rain under the purple sky, I fell off the horizontal bar, I saw the stars first, and then I saw you."

When Dong Qiao was in his 60s, he confessed to himself: "I have worked hard for decades, I have lived with integrity for decades, I care about and weigh every word, and I have lived up to my name. Every piece of writing.” He must be proud of his writing, and has written two essays, one is called “Exercising Sentences and Writing is Politeness” and the other is called “Words Are Made of Meat”.These words made my hair stand on end.It's like facing a big white face, listening to a sixty-year-old geisha say: "I have been practicing hard for decades, and I have lived an upright life for decades. I care about painting my face every day. Meticulous and precise, I have lived up to everyone who has seen the flesh on my face."

The text refers to the finger of the moon, and Dong Qiao needs a Zen master to help him see the moon.In the process of lusting, Yue Shang Liu Shaotou, when Dong Qiao was pointing, the Zen master raised the knife and cut off his finger pointing at the moon.If the thumb points to the moon, chop off the thumb, and if the middle finger points to the moon, chop off the middle finger. Dong Qiao will see the moon. Dong Qiao engraved a leisure chapter in which Dong Qiao was attached to the moonlight of the old days, thinking that he felt the beauty of the old days from practicing sentences and writing.The beauty of the old days also extends to things beyond words: such as Lu Xun's lower case letters, Zhitang's poems, Hu Shi's rare works, Yu Dafu's remnants of wine, Lin Yutang's shredded tobacco, Xu Zhimo's scarves, Liang Shiqiu's glasses, Zhang Ailing's hair folder.These "ancient ideas" in turn infiltrated Dong Qiao's articles, and those who praised him said that it seemed that the literary style of the late Ming Dynasty had reappeared in a trance.

Those who learn from the ancients prosper, those who resemble the ancients perish.Song people could not write Tang poetry, and Yuan people could not write Song Ci.Kublai Khan said: Civilization can only rape and plunder, not touch and indulge.Zhou Shuren's writing is as sharp as bronze, and Zhou Zuoren's writing is as restrained as Dingyao porcelain.What they study hard is not the flesh and blood of the text itself, but the bones, hearts, and brains under the flesh and blood. In fact, Hong Kong's catering industry is number one in the world.For Hong Kong, don't be too demanding.Read less about Dong Qiao Rou Rou, and go to a Teochew hot pot called "Fat Fat" in Wanchai more. Their beef balls are really delicious.
