After watching Journey to the West, I was deeply touched by the twists and turns of the plot and the strange experiences of Tang Priest and his disciples, which left a deep impression on me.
Wu Cheng'en, the author of this book, tells the readers the story of Tang Priest's master and apprentice, who went through hardships and dangers, subduing demons and subduing demons, and gaining the true scriptures in 81 difficulties. It is this bizarre story that won the readers' hearts and made this book one of the four classical novels in ancient China.
The Journey to the West created four distinct characters: Tang Priest-sincere and persistent to the Buddha, the Monkey King-upright and upright, with superb skills as the bane of monsters, Pig Bajie-greedy for money and lust, but not lacking in kindness, Friar Sand-kind-hearted and content with his destiny. These four characters have their own characteristics and different personalities, which just form a sharp contrast, so I have to admire the author's superb writing skills. Perhaps the author's ability to portray characters is his subtlety. Among them, the Monkey King is my favorite. Because of his miraculous skills and superb skills, he succeeded in obtaining the true scriptures to protect Tang Priest, and he became a hero in my mind. Moreover, he has a rebellious mentality, and his brave spirit of fighting against powerful forces makes me appreciate it very much.
It is written in the book that Tang Priest's mentoring managers experienced eighty-one difficulties, which reminds me of their persistence, courage and perseverance. This is really a spirit worth learning. Think about yourself giving up halfway, anticlimactic, and can't help but feel ashamed that you didn't stick to it like them. Perhaps this is what I lack, as long as I can finish one thing from beginning to end, whether it is success or failure, as long as I try my best to do it, it is also successful for me! Because I did it, and I stuck to it until the end.
Those four thick masterpieces are needed by everyone who claims to love the ancient culture of China. Naturally, you can't avoid customs, but also intrigue, love and hate lingering, which is not suitable for reading at this time. So I opened the Journey to the West and entered the bizarre and colorful mythical world. This is a classic that everyone loves to read, and everyone can get different feelings and inspirations when reading it. Some people like its distinctive personality; Some people like its magnificent overall image; Some people like its lively and humorous language; Some people simply regard it as a moral cultivation novel or a political fable. But in my opinion, it is nothing, it is just a "game" and a pure celestial world. Reading this novel, I often have a sense of resonance. I think this is my deep desire for freedom shouting! 1. Freedom has passed another semester with limited personality. The image of the Monkey King has completely awakened my inner latent but deep-rooted yearning-yearning for complete freedom. The Monkey King broke ground, "not superior to Kirin, not superior to Phoenix, not superior to the throne of the world". He broke into the Dragon Palace, made a scene, and became king in Huaguoshan. It can be said that he has reached a state where human nature is free from all bondage and completely free. The Monkey King is actually the embodiment of freedom. The most prominent feature of his quality is his yearning for freedom. He is always pursuing freedom, and all his struggles are for freedom. This vivid image gives me the strength and courage to seek and pursue freedom. In a word, I think modern people are more comfortable with their living conditions, especially in spirit, lacking a spirit of pioneering and seeking greater freedom. Second, myth is now an era far from myth. Everyday life is so realistic that it excludes things full of fantasy. Myth is by no means a childish product, it has profound philosophical significance and rich cultural connotation. Schelling said in his masterpiece "Philosophy of Art": "Myth is the original material for the necessary conditions of various arts. The Journey to the West is the pinnacle of China's mythological novels and the highest realm of mythological culture. Then the myth culture of China gradually declined, and the myth was ignored. Even The Journey to the West is rarely visited. Only children will be conquered by the Monkey King, so only children have romantic and fantasy hopes for the future. " Third, the hero "hero" has many different interpretations. In Ci Hai, it is said that heroes are outstanding figures, and Cao Cao said that heroes should have the opportunity to contain the universe and breathe in the chest of heaven and earth. In my opinion, heroes are those who stubbornly control their own destiny and struggle for lofty ideals. The Monkey King is undoubtedly a typical hero. He is not afraid to fight for freedom and his dignity. It is precisely because of this disparity that it is a tragedy to fight with all one's strength from the heart. Only a warrior who knows what he can't do can show his heroic qualities. Rereading Journey to the West makes me feel that it does not belong to the characteristics of general masterpieces. I believe and hope that it will always show you the three themes of "freedom, myth and hero" and bring you inspiration and inner strength.

Reflections on A Dream of Red Mansions
Author: Heart Moon Ark Source: unknown entry: anonymous date: February 27, 2005 Words: 15 16
Throughout the evolutionary history of human love, it can be roughly divided into three stages: prehistoric emotional history, ancient emotional history and modern emotional history. If the history of literature is a reflection of the history of human emotions, then the position of A Dream of Red Mansions in the times will be more clear. Just like an arch bridge, it just spans the end of ancient emotional history and the beginning of modern emotional history. From this perspective, the distance between A Dream of Red Mansions and our time is more distinct. The classic pictures presented in the works retain the influence of the past era so comprehensively and truly that we can taste the great and subtle similarities and differences between ancient people and modern people in the emotional field. We are sad and happy to see that the history of human emotions is developing as well as the history of reason. Although the trajectory of evolution is so heavy and slow, one step at a time, one after another, including the cost of blood and life, suddenly parted ways.
Modern people can still feel great strength and beauty from the ashes, but at the same time, they have to admit that this empathy is mixed with the alienation and separation of watching flowers in the moonlight fog in the water. In this era, more than half of men will choose Xue Baochai when choosing a spouse. As for the crazy and infatuated Hongyi, it is worthless in the eyes of more than half of women. Modern people's tears are definitely getting less and less, and the Yellow River is at least one drop less than in the past. I don't know whether this refers to emotional desolation and drought or spiritual happiness. People become more intelligent and changeable emotionally, and more ignorant and cunning. They are often in a state of insincerity, contradiction between sensibility and rationality, and they have ideals but don't listen to the call of ideals. They have secular desires, but they often run counter to their feelings. If the personal love tragedy in the classical emotional era comes from family and society, it is almost irreconcilable, but it is moving forward after all. The work fulfilled the mission entrusted by the times as much as possible, and drew a colorful end to the history of classical emotion.
Tears rolled over the red chamber, carved beams and painted buildings filled with stones, and were buried in the wilderness with wealth and gentleness in the past. Fortunately, the alliance between Mu and Shi is just a beautiful legend. Imagine that once Bao and Dai combine the family life of men plowing and women weaving, it will be like another brand-new nightmare for Bao's brother and Lin's sister. As for the marriage between gold and jade, it is just an expired silver ticket in name only. Isn't the husband-and-wife life that looks like a dead body just another way of suffering? The unbearable smoke of life is gone forever. The double destruction of ideal and reality, spirit and body can not win. Love has become the root of the disease, women have become aunts, men have become sons-in-law, and a group of noble men and women in the Grand View Garden have become amazing love dolls.
However, modern people may not be easier to go than the ancients. On the contrary, it is more difficult for them to preserve their spiritual love. Resistance comes not only from society, but also from people's hearts. It seems that its stupidity and passion still have great potential. Cut off old problems, complex new problems emerge one after another, and the question mark of the times is like a nine-headed monster.
Man is the master of everything, but sometimes it takes thousands of years to solve a difficult problem. From the book A Dream of Red Mansions to contemporary literature, this nearly 300 years may be far from the time needed to solve this problem collectively. People are still confused, and the difficult emotional state is still a suspense.
A Dream of Red Mansions is the best literary masterpiece that a person with the highest thinking ability and creative ability can write at that time. While sighing and regretting, we have to admit that our thought, which is still shining, is drifting away from our times, and it has been doing this reverse movement since the irreparable difficult fault in the book.
……
Emotion is not out of date, what is out of date is emotional way. There are tragedies in every era, but the difference is the nature of tragedy. In this sense, modern people need to sum up their own emotional history masterpieces, some of which have already appeared, and some are still quietly gestating in the way of "sneaking into the night with the wind and moistening things silently". Who knows? Everything unknown is a great challenge and temptation to the creator, and the struggle may end in an imperfect ending, but after all, a relatively harmonious and complete new life picture has been launched.
In order to repay the irrigation kindness of God's messenger beside Sansheng Stone, the crimson pearl fairy who will be a human being in the next life decided to return the favor to Lacrimosa with her life. This touching introduction fills the lines of the book with the sadness and sentimentality of classical beauty. Gorgeous and beautiful scenery, neat and rigorous poetry writing, endless realistic writing norms ... both in content and form, the author has pushed classical literature to an unprecedented climax.
-reading "the water margin"
Author: anonymous source: unknown entry: Zoldan Date: April 6, 2005 Words: 1008.
"The First Secretary of the Water Margin" tells the heroic story of 108 heroes headed by Song Jiang, from gathering righteous Liang Shanbo to courtship, to the defeat of Liao soldiers, and finally to exterminating the rebels, but being murdered by traitors. After reading the whole book, there are only two words left in my mind: loyalty and righteousness.
Loyalty means doing one's best to the motherland, relatives and friends around you. Song Jiang is still loyal to the motherland under various threats and inducements, which is loyalty; Lin Chong's wife, after Lin Chong was forced to rebel, insulted Gao Qiu's son, and finally hanged herself. This is also loyalty. In today's society, I believe many people can achieve the word "loyalty", but few people can achieve the word "righteousness".
A word "righteousness" contains too much content. In the Water Margin, 108 heroes are brothers, who go through fire and water for their friends and do everything for a word "righteousness"; For the people, it is only a word "righteousness" to put one's life at risk. Although a word "righteousness" has only three strokes, it sometimes takes one's life to write it. In real life, almost anyone can give up his seat, but not everyone can save people from danger. Because it requires considerable courage, even the determination to exchange one life for another.
Righteousness can be interpreted as justice. A person with a strong sense of justice is a person with noble spirit. How many heroes have given their lives for righteousness through the ages? Aren't they afraid of death? They can risk their lives for justice and truth, because a strong sense of justice clearly tells them what not to do and what is worth fighting for with their lives. A person without a sense of justice will not understand this. Because his sense of justice has been swallowed up by numbness, his passion for struggle has been frozen, but his soul has been assimilated by some ugly things in society.
I still remember clearly that there is a black man among the heroes of the Water Margin. He is reckless and grumpy, and often conflicts with people because of trivial matters, and even leads to murders. But he can see the rough road and draw his sword to help those unscrupulous guys. In real life, although there is no such thrilling event, the word "righteousness" permeates our lives. Loyalty to friends is filial piety. Treating strangers or things with a fair eye is a sense of justice and a sense of justice in practice. We Chinese nation are a just nation. When Japan invaded China, many revolutionary martyrs with lofty ideals and integrity died indomitable with blood, which made today's thriving motherland. Dong Cunrui laid down his life to bomb the bunker, and Huang Jiguang blocked the enemy's machine gun with his chest. These are the continuation of China's humanity and the lingering glory in China's history.
One can not believe in God, but can not believe in "holiness". At present, the most important task for us teenagers is to build our motherland more prosperous. Therefore, this is also the foundation of our national justice. Let us believe in this "sacredness" and maintain this "sacredness" with our own hands.

-Reflection on the Romance of the Three Kingdoms
The Romance of the Three Kingdoms describes the rise and fall of the Three Kingdoms, which has gone through five periods: the Yellow Scarf Uprising, the Dong Zhuo Uprising, the separatist regime (the Battle of Guandu, Battle of Red Cliffs), and the division of the world into Jin.
The Yellow Scarf Uprising began in Taoyuan. After the Yellow turban insurrectionary uprising, the Eastern Han government counterattacked, Liu Bei, Cao Cao and other heroes appeared, and the Eastern Han regime was about to perish.
Dong Zhuo's Rebellion tells the story of Dong Zhuo's rescue from He Jin's struggle with ten courtiers to Shao Di's escape from Beijing before and after he entered Beijing. After Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, he bought Lu Bu, abolished Shao Di, established Xian Di, monopolized power, and practiced tyranny, forcing the allied forces to cut Dong Zhuo. Although the allied forces failed later, Dong Zhuo was finally killed by Lu Bu.
After the death of Dong Zhuo, the princes in the Central Plains were leaderless. In order to expand their territory, they were mainly divided into three war zones, namely Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan in the north, the rise of Sun Ce in Jiangdong, and the war between Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Lu Bu and Yuan Shu in the Central Plains.
After that, I won't elaborate on the three points in the world, and the world belongs to gold. The most important thing is to talk about my own understanding and views on the romance of the Three Kingdoms.
In Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Cao Cao is my favorite. Although Liu Bei was written as a traitor in order to highlight his righteousness, his military talent has not been obliterated. During the years of crusade against the West, he occupied a large area of land north of the Yangtze River, and even ethnic minorities surrendered to him. He is the most talented of the three monarchs, and Wei is also the most powerful of the three. He laid the foundation of Wei, and later Jin was able to enter Wei.
The thirst for talents is also a place worthy of appreciation for Cao Cao. In order to select more talents, Cao Cao broke the standard of appointing officials according to feudal virtue and the rank of his younger brothers, and put forward the employment policy of "meritocracy". In the spring of 2 10, Cao Cao summed up the historical experience at the beginning of the stage and thought that since ancient times, there was no one who could not get talents to rule the world with him, and talents often did not leave the hutong. This is by no means an opportunity, but the authorities are looking for and visiting them. In view of this, Cao Cao pointed out that the world is uncertain now, and it is the time to seek talents. He hopes that people around him will not consider their origins, help him find and recommend those who are born in poverty and buried, and reuse them as long as they are talented. In AD 2 14 and 2 17, Cao Cao issued a talent-seeking order twice, repeatedly emphasizing his "meritocracy" policy in employing people. He asked personnel departments at all levels and local officials not to pursue perfection when selecting talents, even if they have such shortcomings, as long as they are truly talented. After some efforts, Cao Wei concentrated a large number of talents. For a time, all localities and regions. Advisers are like rain. For talented people, Cao forgot the past. For example, Chen Lin, who was originally a subordinate of Yuan Shao, once drafted a campaign for Yuan Shao, cursing Cao Caozu for three generations. After Yuan Shao's defeat, Chen Lin defected to Cao Cao. Cao Cao asked him, "You wrote to Yuan Shao before, and a person scolded me. Why did you scold my ancestors for three generations? Chen Lin hurriedly.
Cao Cao's success is not only because of his outstanding talent and good at recruiting talents, but also because of his broad mind. After the fiasco in Chibi, Cao Cao did not feel helpless, but smiled and said, "Today's North is still under my control". San Xiao showed optimism about the setbacks. Cao Cao is also a person who is very interested in literature. He likes to write poems. Even if the war is imminent, his interest will not change. Many of his poems are music.

Thoughts on Reading Romance of the Three Kingdoms
With excitement, I opened the classic literature Romance of the Three Kingdoms for the third time.
Cao Cao's cunning, Liu Bei's humility, Kong Ming's prudence and Zhou Yu's narrow-mindedness, each character has a different personality, and the author vividly depicts and tastes it, which makes the reader seem to have entered a realm.
The main content of the story is to unfold in turn with wisdom and courage, but I think wisdom is always better than courage. For example, in Xicheng, Kong Ming used a feint to scare off the 150,000 troops led by Sima Yi. There are countless examples of this.
However, there is also a saying in the story that "wisdom does not seek, courage is defeated, writing does not take a pen, and martial arts does not move a gun." Like Liu Chan in the Han Dynasty, he ate, drank, and was merry all day, regardless of state affairs, and willingly surrendered Shu. In the end, he even staged a play that everyone laughed at and enjoyed it. Who would have thought that the ruler of a country would do such a thing that keeps pace with the times?
Courage without strategy, the enemy is in sight, and we can only fight to the death. Lu Bu and Yan Liang are typical examples: If Lu Bu listened to the counselor's plan in the White Gate Tower, why was he hanged by Cao Cao at the city gate? If Yan Liang makes it clear to Guan Yu that Liu Bei stayed in Hebei, where will Guan Yu, who is loyal to him, cut him? As the ancients said, the brave have no plan, and the disaster comes from the mouth. If you are in trouble, you will be cheated and die if you enter the battle.
Let's talk about the country, Wei, who has a good life; Shu, once successful; Wu was once famous in Jiangdong. From this perspective, the country can reflect the personality of the monarch. Cao Cao, oppressing the people; Liu Bei, who loves the people like a son; Sun Quan, dominating Jiangdong.
It is no exaggeration to say that Wei is the most resourceful of the three countries. Cao Cao fought against chinese odyssey, and Sima Yi was more like a god. But both of them have their own fatal weaknesses: Cao Cao is suspicious and Sima Yi is too insidious. Besides, in Shu, Zhuge Liang must bear the brunt. His extraordinary intelligence and skillful array amazed future generations. There are also some figures like Feng Chu, Pang Tong, Jiang Wei and Xu Zhe, but I don't think they are as good as Kong Ming. Wu, who occupies six counties in Sanjiang, is also resourceful, that is, Zhou Yu. As a teenager, Zhou Yu was familiar with the art of war and was good at handling it. After some efforts, I finally became the commander-in-chief of the water army and the presidential sailor. But he was so jealous that he died in the middle of the year. From these figures and countries, we can easily see the importance of people's personality. Personality is related to success.
Everyone has their own goals, as long as they are down-to-earth and take every step in the pursuit of success seriously, I believe success will not be far away.
If you give me three days of light, it mainly tells the rough life and mental journey of Helen Keller, who is blind and deaf. Her life is only 19 months of light and sound. With the help and care of Anne Sally and other teachers, and with the help of relatives and friends, Helen overcame unimaginable difficulties, completed her studies at Harvard University, and obtained a bachelor's degree with honors. She has been committed to the cause of the disabled, collecting money everywhere, improving their living environment and creating educational opportunities for them. She traveled around the world to cheer for the disabled. Finally, he became an outstanding philanthropist, speaker and educator.
Her world has only dull and silent lonely years.
But she insisted that if I had three days of light-
The first day: I want to see those kind, gentle and touching people who encourage me to live through the "window of the soul"
The next day: I will get up at dawn to watch the night turn into a moving miracle during the day.
The third day: I will spend it in my daily life now, go to places where people who are busy with their lives often go, and experience their happiness, sadness, emotion and kindness.
A philosopher once said, "Courage exists in the soul, not in a strong body." This is a true portrayal of Helen. In the face of adversity, Helen stood up strongly. She is really physically and mentally disabled. As a new generation of college students, they have good living and learning conditions, but lack perseverance. Therefore, this article gave me the greatest inspiration:
First, treat difficulties correctly. Everyone will encounter difficulties in his life. When encountering difficulties, don't be afraid to retreat, but try your best to overcome them. The process of overcoming difficulties is also the process of self-improvement.
Second, try your best to finish everything. A famous person once said, "What's not easy? It is not easy to insist on doing what you should do every day. What's not simple? It is not easy to do everything best. " Yes, it's really difficult if you can follow the above. It's easy to do one thing in one day, easy to do it in two days, and difficult to do it every day. Because this requires not only perseverance, but also perseverance. It's even harder to do everything best. Because this requires not only the above two points, but also a good habit of doing things seriously. If we can do these two things, we can make progress and improvement in our daily life.
Third, we should have an optimistic attitude. In the face of great blows and difficulties, Helen didn't complain about others, but faced them with optimism to gain confidence. Optimism is one of the important factors of success.
Reflections on the Education of Love
The Education of Love, written by Amicus, is the diary of nkosi, a fourth-grade Italian pupil, during the whole fourth grade. Highlighted nkosi's good parents, caring sister, concise, very close to life, let me fondle admiringly. There are ten touching weekly stories, all of which were collected by Mr. nkosi. It's really beautiful.
One of them wrote a story about a classmate's vanity and wrote about his supercilious momentum. After reading it, it seems that the vain classmate stood in front of me and wanted to kick him, so did his arrogance, otherwise it would be disgusting.
On my father's message paper, the affection between father and son rose. I wrote in the weekly story "Hero Drummer" that a drummer gave confidential information to the seriously injured reinforcements and bandaged the captain's wound, but he sacrificed himself. This hero is really something. I think only China has a real hero, and foreign heroes are not inferior at all. My knowledge is too shallow.
Education of Love is really a foreign classic that is most suitable for primary school students.
This summer vacation, I read Jonathan, an English writer; Swift's Gulliver's Travels describes Gulliver, who loves sailing adventures and travels around the world four times, experiencing thrilling and interesting adventures.
The bizarre stories about lilliputian and adult countries in travel notes deeply attracted me. What impressed me the most, however, was Gulliver's voyage in North America in 17 10, and he visited an Yin Hui country on a desert island and got to know Yin Hui with the virtues of kindness, honesty and friendship. There are no such words as "lying" and "cheating" in the languages of Yin Hui countries, and people don't understand their meanings. They don't know what "doubt" and "distrust" are. Everything in their country is true and transparent.
Gulliver had a wonderful time in the countryside of Yin Hui. He was completely integrated into this society, which was in sharp contrast with Yehu, a metaphor for human beings, because they always looked at his honesty with suspicion, which made him feel lost and had a great dislike for human beings.
I envy the hero in the article for being lucky enough to go to the countryside of Yin Hui, which is the ideal place we pursue and yearn for. Here you don't have to worry about whether what others say is true or not, but in the real world, there are too many things we don't want to see: some people cheat others of their hard-earned money with sweet words, some people kidnap children for profiteering, and some even abandon their parents for money. No wonder our teachers and elders have taught us to be vigilant and not to be deceived since childhood. This is difficult to be unified with our advocacy of helping others and caring for others. When I met someone in trouble and wanted to lend a helping hand, I hesitated; I dare not accept that others help me out. All these make me feel painful, contradictory and at a loss. It not only prevented me from "loving" others, but also missed the "love" of others. Aren't you sad now?
I don't know about the lingering ambiguous relationship between Whigs and Tories in the United States18th century, and I certainly can't understand the beauty of Swift's "high heel party" and "low heel party" when arguing about which head to knock first and the height of high heels. I was wrong about swift. I want to have a tolerant heart. Later, Swift gradually became understandable, giving me the feeling that he was just.
He satirized the characteristics of Britain at that time: "greed, partisanship, hypocrisy, treachery, cruelty, anger, madness, resentment, jealousy, lust, sinister and ambition." He satirically described the grotesque phenomenon of the inversion of man and beast: the horse became the carrier of reason, while man became a dirty, smelly, shit-covered, greedy and difficult animal. When he talks about human nature, he is willing to be enslaved by money, either extravagant or insatiable. After reading Gulliver's Travels, we can't help but look at ourselves to see if there are any shadows of these stubborn diseases in us.
There is a sentence that I think is classic: exaggerating the anger of the times and denouncing the disadvantages of the times through absurdity; Behind the hatred and pessimism, there should be a bitter feeling of worrying about the world.
I didn't expect those simple vernacular travel notes to have such profound connotations.
I look forward to the day when our society is like Yin Hui countries. There is no doubt in the eyes of children that education and reality are unified. I am willing to work hard for this, and I hope that everyone will start with me, and from now on, let this society be more sincere and less hypocritical.
