talk about dreamgrass There is an example of "parallel sequence" in writing, which is to explain the reason for writing first.There are many reasons, but the intention is one. It is necessary to write, not just looking for trouble.It is necessary to explain that writing is necessary, and some articles are very easy, such as high-level texts from the court to the correspondence of the small people, they are all for doing business, and the writing comes first, and without writing, most things can’t be done.These articles of mine are really poems, outdated things, not needed for work, explaining that it would be very difficult to write them if necessary.Big or double, one is why you want to write it, and the other is why you want to print it.The ideal reason is to write well. Therefore, those who are crowned can be appreciated by others, and even help others learn from them. Those who are not crowned can gain some honor from this deserted corner.It's a pity that this ideal is a fantasy; the fact is that I am convinced that what I write is still my family's tradition.So, why do you still want to write and print?

To write is easy to say.I am an ordinary person, and there is no such thing as Mencius who does not move his mind at forty, Zen master sees mountains as mountains, and sees waters as water. Sometimes, even often, "emotion moves in the middle", and then, according to the routine, I also want to "express in words" .As far as I am concerned, I think that the form of poetry is more suitable for at least expressing some "speaking and resting" feelings, so I followed the example of the past and wrote it.Writing is a statutory freedom, and it must be able to persuade people.It is difficult to say that it is difficult to print.After searching, three reasons came to mind.One is that without Lin Daiyu's high wind, the accumulated manuscripts are too large to be burned.The second is to follow the nature of words and texts, and we cannot but hope that others will hear or see them.Third, as a human being, the process of the heart mainly includes two aspects: thinking and emotion.From the perspective of nature and expression, thinking, street surface, is obvious; emotion, indoor, hidden.Hidden, so rare, so valuable, so others will be more interested.But when it comes to writing, as far as I am concerned, although I keep smearing and smearing, I often talk about my thoughts, but almost never tell the most personal feelings about my own experience.Is it ruthless to write?No; it's a common saying that can't be said in words.It's hard to say, so I had to pretend that it didn't happen.Actually there is.It is also difficult to be under the Leifeng Pagoda, so sometimes, I feel overwhelmed, and I want to pull out the curtain and show myself.It can be in the form of autobiography or memoirs, but life is in the world, sophistication is necessary, for oneself and for others, it is always difficult to write.It can also be used in the form of a novel, but the expression of love and hatred is more vivid, and it may be more difficult to write.The little gap left is mediocre, because it can be faintly visible, resentment but not angry, sorrow but not hurt.This is Nasumi Yu mustard, but it is an aspect of real life. Some people with good things (many of them are acquaintances and strangers) may want to know, right?It is wrong to live up to the elegance, so I just want to find an opportunity to print, not to avoid making a fool of myself.

In general, there are still points, a total of four items, and I will also talk about it.One is the title "Shuomeng", which obviously comes from the idiom "Idiot Shuomeng".This means that there are dreams and delusion in it.In fact, it’s okay to say that dream and ignorance are the same thing, ignorance is the root cause, and dream is the manifestation.Specifically speaking, dreams are fantasies, unfulfilled hopes.The destination of fantasy is disillusionment, and the destination of hopelessness is also disillusionment, but the ghost lingers and becomes a dream.Only in the dream, the fantasy is still there, the hope is still there.As far as I am concerned, this is precious, so I want to keep it.These are the ones written later in the form of poems (selected part of the archived manuscripts), which are titled "Speaking of Dreams" in order to match the name and reality.

The second is the subject matter and emotion, which are almost all my own sorrows and joys.According to the fashion of the times, the themes can be divided into big and small, and the affection can be different in severity.In fact, this has existed since ancient times. For example, the "My Fair Lady" in the first article, "You can't ask for it", etc., according to the common saying, it is small and light. When the people become the royal family, and private affairs become state affairs, they immediately become big and important.Of course, the royal family and state affairs can also move people's emotions, but the long-term lesson of the world is that it is better to say less than to say more, and it is better not to say less. Periods can also cause trouble.this is one.And two, there are two ways to talk big and heavy, one is pleasant to the ear, and the other is harsh to the ear.In short, let’s say it’s been a habit for many years, until it becomes deeply ingrained, as if it’s hard to change my nature, I can only write “into the boat” but not “want to return to heaven and earth”.But there is also one point of consolation, which is that what I write is my own real feeling, although it is trivial, it has not been adulterated for the sake of timeliness.

The third is the arrangement, just for the convenience of viewing, according to the general anthology, in order of category.Poems come first, words follow.In poetry, the ancient style comes first, and the modern style comes after.Regardless of the poems, the short ones come first and the long ones follow.Secondary rhyme, collection of sentences and the like, because they are not completely up to themselves, come later.The genre, style, and length are all the same, and the order of writing time is in order. Fourth, in order to save the energy of some readers, two attachments are added to the slang sentences.One is about sound, that is, keywords that have different pronunciations in the past and present should be read with "·" in the lower tone, and "." in the lower tone.The other is about meaning. I am not familiar with the classics, and I don’t know the modern classics. It takes a lot of effort to read, so I added a brief note.As for how to understand a certain sentence, because the state of mind when writing is not to be eager for a sword, then it is okay to think that an old friend is coming when the wind blows the bamboo.
