In the four or five days after I carefully read Clouds Over the Qinling Mountains, I was still immersed in the story drawn in the book for a long time, because it was this thick book that made me reread a big Xi 'an. Yunling is a representative work of Ba Longfeng, a famous writer and screenwriter. The works restore the history, customs, times and social psychology of the ancient city of An 1935 to 1945, entrust the meaning of "alliance will benefit", and write the tenacious spirit of "alliance will correct the difficulties of the old Qin state", which is full of positive energy.
The plot of the work begins with the "Zhongshan Ship" incident in China's modern history, including the Northern Expedition, the Civil Revolutionary War, the Long March of the Red Army, the death of Liu Zhidan, the Zhang mutiny, the arrival of the Central Red Army in Yan 'an, the Japanese aggression, the cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, the defence of Wuhan, the patriotic service of the children of the Qin Dynasty in 1983, the spy war of China, the heroic killing of the Eighth Route Army and the witty struggle of the underground party of the Communist Party of China for the victory of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression. In the book, the children of Sanqin entrusted Ba Longfeng with the memory and pursuit of the ancient and formidable legacy of Qin and Han dynasties, and the ancient capital Xi 'an naturally became the carrier of Ba Longfeng's cultural pursuit. Therefore, readers can re-see a cultural Xi in the sense of folk culture under the historical background vividly described by Ba Longfeng, which is rare in many works.
The masterpiece "Clouds Crossing the Qinling Mountains" is both ideological and artistic. For example, at the beginning of the whole work, it was written: "The Qinling Mountains are green and the Weihe River is vast. At the northern foot of Qinling Mountains and south of Weishui, there is a famous ancient city. She is from Xi, formerly known as Chang 'an. Our story begins here. Sad Qin and Han dynasties, ten thousand palaces have been made of earth. The ancient city of Chang' an witnessed the glory, civilization and prosperity of the Chinese nation, and also witnessed the shame, struggle and unyielding of this nation ... "If such beautiful words are affixed with heavy historical novels, it is difficult for Ba Longfeng himself to achieve this artistic beauty without profound literary accomplishment. In today's impetuous environment, Ba Longfeng can persist in his love of writing, and his writing is endless, fruitful and commendable. Just like Ms. Xie's national historical memory in "The Legacy of Qin and Han Dynasties: A Brief Comment on Ba Longfeng", at the moment when the historical narrative of consumerism is prevalent, many authors do not restore history, present history and show the national spirit in history, but consume history, entertain history and even collude with history. However, Ba Longfeng's Clouds Over the Qinling Mountains, with an official brushwork, restores history from the front and pursues the national spirit, which is very valuable. "I think this is also the consensus of most loyal readers.
In the book, Ba Longfeng also added his own thoughts, which may be another reason why Yun Ling stands out among many novels describing Da Xi 'an. In a large number of novels I have read, some are shallow and straightforward, some pretend to be deep, some are distorted and artificial, and some are absurd, which is simply unbearable to read. However, Yunqin Hengling is different. This masterpiece not only faithfully writes complex historical events, but also creates vivid characters. At the same time, it also introduces the historical events and folk customs of the ancient city of Xi 'an to readers in the form of novels, which is undoubtedly creative. As Feng, former vice chairman of Shaanxi Writers Association, wrote in "The Soul-stirring Qinling Mountains-Reading Ba Longfeng", Ba Longfeng is good at writing novels. Faced with numerous clues, complicated plots and all kinds of people-underground workers of the Chinese Communist Party, Kuomintang spies, Japanese spies, local administrators, prostitutes, businessmen, soldiers, intellectuals, local ruffians and hooligans, etc. Ba Longfeng begins with the Qinling brothers and their lover and partner Zhong Yifei, and the plot begins with these three people. If we say that the plot and characters of this novel are scattered with clouds, then, with the gentle stroke of Balongfeng, Qinling Mountain shows its thrilling appearance and its original magnificence. "
Yes, Ba Longfeng's handling of plots and characters shows his unique ideological wisdom. After reading it, I have a deep understanding that Ba Longfeng skillfully uses flickering and illusory narrative techniques to release the contradictions and conflicts between the real world and the historical world and show the tension of his works. Based on the real historical data and the story structure understood by Ba Longfeng himself, the book sublimates the revolutionary history of Xi 'an, prompting readers to abstract a broader humanistic connotation from the book-how to love and how to survive in Xi 'an. This may be the inner world of Ba Longfeng that I understand alone, or it may be influenced by the reading process and personal experience, which makes our emotions different. If you read it carefully several times and integrate it into the work, I believe you will understand the author's original intention better.
But in my opinion, no matter how the times develop and society progresses, as far as literary works are concerned, there may be differences in expressions and forms, but ideas are eternal. The ideological information conveyed by the works should be avant-garde, traditional, closely following the mainstream ideology, or inclined to express individuality. We must have a foundation, a depth, be able to arouse readers' thinking and be beneficial to the people of the world. In many chapters, such as Recalling Youth, Feelings of Home and Country, Blood is Thicker than Water, the author conveyed his own thoughts and insights through carefully portrayed characters and story development, which made people re-examine the situation of Da Xi 'an at that time, so it should be successful.
Reading newspapers and media comments, dozens of famous experts, professors, writers, scholars and readers strongly recommended and wrote articles on different occasions, which was highly praised. Each of these comments is really not low. In the past, some people were used to reading a literary work, always using the framework of literary theory to catch fish from the tree, but they didn't know that all theories came from practice. Theories without practice, no matter how fancy and unfathomable, were empty theories. A literary work can make readers feel and enlighten, which is a meaningful creation. Ba Longfeng's Clouds Crossing the Qinling Mountains profoundly bears the cultural story of the Yellow River civilization and the history of the Chinese nation for thousands of years. From this perspective, Ba Longfeng also made a successful practice.
Ba Longfeng is also full of more creative vitality. Like many readers, I expect Ba Longfeng to bring us more surprises in literary creation. Ba Longfeng's warm brushwork, the love and hate of the blood-indebted countries, and their moral integrity in the face of national justice, these qualities and spirits can bring us endless power no matter what era.
