Although the story of the book has no backbone, there is one center that runs through it, that is, opposing the poison of the imperial examination system and feudal ethics, and satirizing the extremely hypocritical and bad social habits caused by greed for fame and fortune.
The Scholars is a novel with a changing protagonist, or a novel composed of countless short stories. It is basically impossible to express the characters' personality characteristics and spiritual world through a detailed description of their life experiences and twists and turns in the story. Therefore, Wu concentrated on the most prominent characteristics of human character. So as to show a relatively static life in depth and detail. It's like intercepting a fragment from the long history of the development of characters, and then turning around in front of people to enlarge the "this one" here and now. This is an excellent way of satirizing the sketch of the characters, which makes the colors of the characters clear and the plot flow quickly, as if the face of the characters was sketched ten percent, and the story has come to an end, and it is these exquisite refinements that left a deep impression on the readers.
2. After reading the composition "The Scholars", I feel that "fame and fortune have no evidence, and I have tried my best to make mistakes.
Three glasses of turbid wine will make you drunk, but the water will be weak. "This is the scholar at the beginning of a few words.
It can be said that this is also the soul of the whole book. Although these words are old-fashioned, how many people can really understand people? It is this sentence that has harmed a group of scholars.
They regard reading as a stepping stone-"Books have their own golden houses, books have their own happiness, and books have their own beautiful mothers …". For the sake of money and wealth, they can study all night, and they can go from black hair to white hair: Liang Hao, who won the top prize at the age of 80, and Zhou Jin, a "little friend", who has been the top prize for decades, are ecstatic ... For the sake of fame and fortune, scholars are haggard and their clothes are getting wider, and they never regret it.
Reading actually emphasizes a long process of seeking knowledge. Wang Guowei said it very well. Reading is divided into three realms: "Last night, the west wind withered the green trees, and I went to the West Building alone to look at the horizon." This is my determination.
"I won't regret it when my clothes get wider, and I am haggard for Iraq." This is a struggle. "Looking for him in the crowd for thousands of Baidu, suddenly looking back, that person is in the dim light" This is the final success.
And those who are bent on seeking fame in the Confucian forest, the first step-determination, went wrong. In my opinion, reading is a process in which one constantly absorbs spiritual food.
The most important thing is to absorb it and then turn it into your own strength. This is consistent with the effect of three meals a day: eating, absorbing nutrition, and then promoting self-growth.
It's a pity that some students in the Confucian forest only pay attention to "food", that is, they study for decades, but ignore absorption. For them, reading is just a tool to knock on the door of wealth.
Once the goal is achieved, this tool is worthless. These people, even if they study all their lives, will not have any knowledge to absorb and transform into their own strength.
These books are useless except that they are malnourished. Of course, there are also people in the Confucian forest who are "drunk and awake alone, turbid and clear alone".
Wang Mian is one of them. Because of his poor family, he has been herding cattle for his neighbors since childhood.
On the cow's back, he still reads widely, and even taught himself to be a famous pen for painting boneless flowers. From then on, from ordinary people to rich people in the magistrate's county came to ask for paintings.
But Wang Mian's temperament is different, and he doesn't seek official positions. The court wrote to Zhejiang Political Department to recruit Wang Mian as an official, but he lived in seclusion in Huiji Mountain.
Later generations often call Wang Mian Wang Shenjun. However, Wang Mian once worked as a function for a day in front of fame, and his heart was quiet and unmoved. Among these literati, only Wang Mian, Phoenix Feather Angle.
Today, hundreds of years later, I want to read The Scholars carefully. Sometimes I sigh for the vulgarity and absurdity of literati and celebrities at that time, and sometimes I am angry for the meanness and ugliness of corrupt officials.
With his humorous language, Wu vividly portrayed the decadent and dark side of the imperial examination system in feudal society. No wonder later generations have a sigh that "be careful not to read a scholar, reading it is actually a daily entertainment, not a scholar".
3. Composition: I know a little about the writing of The Scholars. It's hard to say. You can argue in high school, and it is best to narrate in junior high school. I know the problem. . .., the point is to know, not to feel after reading it! The Scholars is a satirical novel. What do you know? Obviously it is truth and meaning, not reading! This is the problem. How to write? We can take The Scholars as a clue and borrow examples from life to express the truth and significance, but narrative, focusing on narrative, is not one thing, so we can only write one thing, and the teacher has already told us how to write it, so we won't bother. Writing is not difficult, but you must point out the history of scholars and what you know, that is, the truth. Just point out the topic (not necessarily) at the end and discuss it. To put it bluntly is an allegory. I hope to adopt it.
We must know the basic content of The Scholars, and we can't talk nonsense. No content.
4. The composition 100 word "Yan Jiansheng was alive" similar to that in The Scholars is selected from China's classical satirical novel "The Scholars".
This article mainly talks about Yan Jiansheng's two fingers kept shaking before he died. Everyone asked him what he wanted to say. Finally, Zhao cut off a lamp grass, and Yan Jian died. From this we can see that Yan Jiansheng is stingy by nature and loves money like life.
According to this article, Yan Jiansheng's love for money is manifested in "the phlegm in Yan Jiansheng's throat keeps ringing and he is always angry." However, he kept holding out two fingers, which puzzled everyone. Finally, Zhao solved the mystery. It turns out that burning one more rush will make a dying person feel worried, unable to let go of his heart and difficult to give up his life. This vivid and exaggerated description vividly depicts the image of a miser and leaves a deep impression on people.
Although we have a good habit of practicing economy and not wasting casually in our life, we should not be too stingy and do what we can.
Confucian scholars should write no less than 600 words by themselves. Since they have written their own thoughts, they have to go through the author's experience and combine with it before they can write them.
Wu, the author, was a world-weary cynic in the Qing Dynasty. He saw through the ups and downs and entanglements of officialdom and wrote The Scholars. This book creates vivid characters in the form of stories, and the descriptions of the characters in the stories represent the author's views on the state of affairs in feudal countries.
Mr. Lu Xun once commented that this book is euphemistic, sharp and straightforward, and it is a classic of realistic literature, which shows the success of this book. "The Scholars" tells the story of a 54-year-old boy who was finally admitted and was finally awakened by his father-in-law Hu, who was most afraid of him on weekdays.
This is a very simple story, but in fact it is not that simple. In Jin Fan's view, taking the senior high school entrance examination is a good thing. He studied hard for thirty-four years and finally got to the early stage. Judging from his madness, it is enough to see that the scholars at that time were obsessed with fame, just as Zhou Jin cried and kowtowed to the board for the sake of his fame.
But their fascination is not for the moral theory of governing the country, but for pure personal promotion and wealth. There was a completely different person before and after Fan Jinzhong moved. Before the middle school entrance examination, he bowed to his father-in-law and said that he was in charge. He became a bureaucrat after the middle school entrance examination.
Even in mourning for my mother, I ate and drank at the banquet in the autumn wind. And he just won the bid, and within two months, what real estate, fields, gold and silver, slaves, uninvited.
Jin Fan is one of the representatives of scholars who won the exam. The feudal * * * took their brilliance as an example of failed scholars, which deepened the poison of the imperial examination to them. For butcher Hu, this is also of great benefit.
Before winning the prize, you can beat and scold Jin Fan. Once when he won the prize, Jin Fan was slapped because he was crazy, but he said: (Jin Fan) Although he is my son-in-law, now he is an old man and a star in the sky. The stars in the sky are invincible.
In this way, the snob's face is clearly outlined. Hutu is the embodiment of ordinary people who are rich and famous and poisoned by the imperial examination. And those squires rushed to send gold and silver to Jin Fan at the first time, and it was they who helped * * * spread the poison of the imperial examination.
Jump out of the story of Jin Fan. The author describes in detail that Yan Jiansheng stretched out two fingers before he died, fearing two oils. Yan is represented by cloud cakes used as medicine to blackmail boatmen.
To sum up, all the characters were not poisoned by the imperial examination. It's not just these people.
There are also celebrities who hold the imperial examination rice bowl, and there are also people who have repeatedly lost and fought in the examination room, such as Mr. Ma Er, who have to squeeze out a few classic words to see the scenery of the West Lake. There are also Buddhist disciples. When they heard that Hu was the mage of his son-in-law's mother, they immediately arranged it.
Even Jia Baoyu appreciates women the most. Influenced by her father, Miss Lu only knows eight-part essay and everything follows it.
I practiced stereotyped writing all day, and then I sighed all day because my husband was not interested in the imperial examination. This book is full of satire and acrimony, which is closely related to the author's life background.
Wu, the author, is generous and regarded as the black sheep of his family. He was poor in the second half of his life, but he was refused several times when he was asked to take the imperial examination.
There are eight strands of rope under his desk, and there is a bug and a mosquito under each strand, which means eight strands of smelly writing. Because he is poor, he can't keep warm, so he often invites his friends to walk around, sing and shout, which is called foot warming.
Against this background, it is no wonder that the description in the book is so intriguing. Nowadays, times are different. We live in an era when few people mention such things as imperial examinations, and there is no pedantry in the book.
However, we often see old people at home queuing up for extracurricular classes to let the next generation know. Many candidates are studying day and night for the senior high school entrance examination, some throw books to celebrate, and some commit suicide by jumping off a building.
No one will kowtow and knock for a scholar, but some people will do anything to get a master's degree or a doctor's degree. Many people eat and drink with diplomas.
I don't know if the Scholars will be published in the future to satirize the system of this era. Extended data:
Creation background of The Scholars: On the background of the times, in the three generations of Kangxi, Yong Zhengdi and Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty, capitalist relations of production had sprouted in China, and the superficial prosperity of society could not cover up the decay of feudal society.
While suppressing the armed uprising, the rulers adopted Daxing Literary Prison, stereotyped writing examination and imperial examination, and advocated Neo-Confucianism to imprison literati with ruling ideology, while Wu opposed stereotyped writing and imperial examination, and hated literati who were obsessed with art and keen on pursuing fame and fortune. He reflected these views in The Scholars and exposed the ugly things in a sarcastic way.
Wu, the author of The Scholars, was born in a noble family. Great-grandfather and great-grandfather are two generations of "versatile officials" (Biography of Mr. Wenmu by Cheng Jinfang). * * * has six scholars, including one second prize and one flower detective.
And his father, Wu, was a tribute during the Kangxi period. In sixty-one (1722), Wu Kangxi was admitted as a scholar, and his father died in the same year.
Because he is not good at managing his livelihood, he lives like a prodigal son. In the seventh year of Yongzheng (1729), when he took part in the imperial examination, he was dismissed as a "variant" and was insulted.
Later, he left his hometown angrily and made a living by selling articles and helping friends. In the first year of Qianlong (1736), Wu participated in the pre-test of Bo Ci.
Zhao, the governor of Anhui Province, officially recommended him to Beijing to take the exam. However, he "stuck to his words despite illness" (Gu Yun's Biography of Wu) and never took the imperial examination again.
In his later years, he was often hungry and cold. This personal experience made him feel particularly deeply about the advantages and disadvantages of stereotyped writing and imperial examination.
In the title of the book, the word "Confucian scholars" comes from Historical Records and Biography of Confucian Scholars. It is "the scholars", which refers to the academic circles and so on.
[6] "Biography of National History" is naturally "official history", and the author deliberately takes "foreign history" as the topic, just to make a difference. As Cheng Jinfang, the author's close friend, revealed in "Touching Poems": "If you are a layman, what can you draw?" I feel sad for the people of Sri Lanka. I actually passed on history. "
It is a biography of Confucian scholars outside the orthodox record. The author deliberately described the story in the book as "official history", but actually described the extensive social life of the Qing Dynasty, reflecting the bad luck of his contemporaries under the poison of the imperial examination system.
6. How to write my composition with The Scholars Not long ago, I read The Scholars. After reading it, I was deeply touched.
The Scholars is a novel of Wu in Qing Dynasty, which consists of 56 chapters. The second half of the novel was written after the author resigned due to illness at the age of 36 (1736).
The Scholars shows the mentality of scholar-officials under the feudal imperial examination system, satirizes the ugly souls of scholars, and profoundly exposes the decadent and incorrigible feudal system. Wu painted a colorful picture of China society in the18th century with his gorgeous brush.
The fate of,, Niu Buyi, Ma Er, Kuang Superman and Du Fu in Wu's novels is not someone else's problem, but he sees the stagnation of history. It is with the help of his inner experience of the imperial examination that he easily exposed all kinds of morbidities of the industry supremacy and the art of making eight clothes. The social custom written by the author is not only a reflection of cultural psychology, but also a macro philosophical speculation, and a mockery of the soul that has stood up but has not. Therefore, we also see a distinctive feature of Wu's novels: thought is greater than character.
In The Scholars, I wrote for the first time: I said that the wedge should be used on Dayi Chen, and the full text should be hidden by celebrities.
At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, there was an upright man in Zhuji County. At the age of seven, his father died young, and his mother did some needlework for him to go to school in the village school. In order to repay his mother, he studied hard. Later, he became an immortal celebrity. This man is Wang Mian.
Wang Mian was studious and diligent since childhood, but because of his poor family, he couldn't afford to read. His mother called him to him and said to him, "Son, it's not that I want to keep you, it's that your father died young. I am a widow's family and I can't do anything. " Now that I am old, firewood is expensive. We can only make a living by doing some needlework. There is really no money for you to study! There's nothing I can do now. I can only let you go next door to herd cattle, earn a few dollars a month and have ready-made food. Go tomorrow! "Wang Mian knew the difficulties at home and agreed.
On the first day, Wang Mian went to the Qin family to herd cattle. Master Qin was very polite to both mother and son, and later took care of Wang Mian. This made them very moved.
Wang Mian didn't give up studying after dropping out of school. When he is free, he often takes his salary to buy two used books from booksellers.
7. I'm going to write a 300-word story about The Scholars (analyzing key figures). * * * Among the five scholars, Yan Jiansheng is the second famous scholar after Jin Fan. Everyone knows his story, but when he died, he struggled to close his eyes and always held out two fingers, as if something important was pending in his heart and his family had not been told.
Yan Jiansheng's fingers were so shocking that he quickly gathered a lot of amazing eyes, just like the unlucky man in "Chameleon" holding high the finger bitten by the general's dog. At that time, a critic was angry and gave him a hat of "keeping money".
This theory was generally followed by Chinese book-choosers who adhered to the principle of typification of literary images in later generations, and thought that Yan Jiansheng's performance was as wonderful as Grandet's frantic attempt to snatch the gilded cross when he died, which was a vivid portrayal of the miser. Therefore, Yan Jiansheng was able to enjoy the class, making all the teenagers in the world regard his surname, which has a long-standing reputation.
On the other hand, other strange people in foreign history, although everyone has a story, are not honored to be selected into the family and gradually become unknown. But if you think about it carefully, Yan Jiansheng's violence is famous, which is inevitably a misunderstanding of history.
First of all, calling Yan Jiansheng a strange figure can only be said to be a misunderstanding. The so-called true heroes are often very human and can do things that others can't.
If we look at Yan Jiansheng like this, what we see is just a dull back. From him, we can't see the divine light of a typical character. Yan Jiansheng, a rich man, has a poor composition and is stingy by nature. He should be as good at exploiting and skinning as Zhou.
I wanted a textbook, so I chose him. The subtext must be beautiful adjectives such as "every drop of blood is full of evil and dirty things" and "killing and setting fire to reap huge profits" It happened that unofficial history was extremely stingy in telling how to plunder, withhold servants and exploit tenants, and had no money at all.
He only knows how to save blindly. He is very humble. He is reluctant to buy a catty of meat at home every day. He just "buys four dollars at the deli every time his youngest son wants to eat" and has worked hard to accumulate wealth for many years. Such a single technique, poor thinking, really far less than his eldest brother Yan's machine change, know how to hack.
For example, selling pigs to catch pigs, setting up fake IOUs and luring bait into medicine can be said to be an exhaustive strategy to win a thousand miles. Brother Yan is really the best player in the world. In contrast, Yan Jiansheng only knows how to work hard for himself, and his imagination is simply outrageous.
I have no skill. If Yan Jiansheng can be stingy to the end, he will not lose patience if he is penniless all his life.
However, Yan Jiansheng's passage is even more criticized. Since I am stingy, how can I spend all my money in my pocket?
If you have to go out, you must be a "silver mother" and get more money back. Besides, that's a hundred things that can't teach me to pay.
It takes a firm will to be stingy. This is the case with Grandet. Pursuit of profit is the highest belief and the only pleasure in his life. Besides, he can ignore all the worldly wisdom.
He can cheat anyone of his money, including his wife and daughter. However, this is the true nature.
Yan Jiansheng, on the other hand, cherishes money very much, but sometimes he is as generous as a different person. Just like a strict lawsuit for his eldest brother who fled his hometown, his eldest brother himself committed a crime. What does it have to do with him? However, he would rather lose money than be afraid of anything. Imagine yourself as Grandet.
Another example is that when paying the funeral expenses of the original wife Wang and the compensation for marrying the bride Zhao, it is also caused by feelings, face and selfish desires, and it is ridiculous to spend money like water. On the surface, Yan Jiansheng's wealth loss seems to have won everyone's unanimous affirmation. In fact, he didn't achieve any purpose. He put the so-called decency and secular human feelings of the squire family above Confucius, and could not wear the god of wealth wholeheartedly, resulting in both human and financial resources. It can be seen that Yan Jiansheng lacks courage and strategy, and is not single-minded and firm enough. He is really an ordinary man, a rich man with a fleshy head.
To sum up, Yan Jiansheng is incompetent and half-hearted. Rats have no courage to do good at both ends, and even less courage to do evil. Don't say that compared with his eldest brother Yan, his wrist is very approachable. Even if he is more humiliated than the Ren Shi brothers of Wang and Aunt Zhao in have it both ways, he can only candidly admit defeat. It is not surprising that ordinary people like him have many cars and trucks and the world is everywhere. As we all know, even Wu Wenmu himself didn't take it seriously, and even his name was not mentioned on the list at the end of the article. Yan Jiansheng does not have much pen and ink, and his personality is not rich. He was originally portrayed as a nobody and played a series of games, which set off the wonderful roles of Wang Ren and Aunt Zhao.
Who would have thought that trying to steal the limelight in a walk-on way would eclipse the actors. Neither Wu nor Yan Jiansheng thought that his name would be fixed in history as a typical image of a certain kind of characters in the future.
However, life is famous after all, which is lucky and unfortunate. After all, I am worried that if Jane Eyre really exists, he will feel uneasy when he knows it. The story of "pinch the lamp grass" is said to be based on an anecdote of a rich man in Yangzhou that Wu heard, or that Yan Jiansheng is a friend of Wu or someone he knows, and his nature is too frugal. In fact, through the description before the novel, we should know that Yan Jiansheng can be regarded as a good man with a little cowardice in general, at least his nature is not bad-especially compared with his brother Yan-but Wu did not forget to give him a silent silence before he died, so that he could put up two fingers.
I think Yan Jiansheng's frugal temperament may be related to his rich family. "In 1997, he didn't recognize the sycee" (Du commented on Du's language in "unofficial history"-the latter is considered to be a portrayal of Wu himself), and he was heroic in nature and spent money like water, which made Wu's temperament "handed down from village to village" too wrong, which made Wu.
8. Reading "The Scholars" is a long satirical novel, mainly writing that some scholars in the Qing Dynasty thought that reading was just for being an official, and only thought that "there is a golden house in the book", so only a few officials were honest officials.
In The Scholars, my favorite story is Wang Mian's story, and Wang Mian's story is mainly about a man named Wang Mian in Zhuji County at the end of Yuan Dynasty. His father died when he was seven years old, and his mother did some needlework for him to go to a rural school. Wang Mian herded cattle in the next house, and gave him a few dollars a month to study while herding cattle. In this environment, he 12 years old, knows astronomy, geography and classics.
One day after the rain, Wang Mian came to the lake. There are more than a dozen lotus flowers in the lake, and the water drops on the buds are rolling around. Wang Mian became interested in painting from then on. At first, he painted badly. After painting for three months, the spirit and color of the lotus are very similar, just like those growing in the lake.
Passers-by see the painting is good, and some people buy it with money. Wang Mian got the money and bought some good things to honor her mother.
When he grew up, the court asked Wang Mian to be an official, but Wang Mian insisted on not going and hid in the mountains. I think Wang Mian is aloof, different from being dull and dirty.
Some ancient times regarded reading as a stepping stone-"Books have their golden houses, books have their fun, and books have their own …". For the sake of wealth, they can study sleepless nights and get white hair from their black hair: Liang Hao, who won the first prize at the age of 80, and Zhou Jin, who has a grizzled beard, passed the exam for decades. Fan Jin was ecstatic ... and Wang Mian did not seek fame, money or wealth, which was beyond the control of ordinary people.
Today, I read The Scholars, which left a deep impression on me. Yes, books are the ladder of human progress, and we can't do without them.
9. There is an urgent need to read The Scholars, which gives me a feeling of words. You can also contribute "The Scholars" is a long satirical novel, which mainly writes that some scholars in the Qing Dynasty thought that reading was just to be an official, and only thought that "there was a golden house in the book", so only a few officials were honest officials.
In The Scholars, what I like best is the story of Wang Mian, and the story of Wang Mian is mainly about the late Yuan Dynasty. There is a man named Wang Mian who lives in the countryside of Zhuji County. His father died when he was seven years old, and his mother did some needlework for him to go to a rural school. Wang Mian herded cattle in the next house, and gave him a few dollars a month to study while herding cattle. In this environment, he 12 years old, knows astronomy, geography and classics.
One day after the rain, Wang Mian came to the lake. There are more than a dozen lotus flowers in the lake, and the water drops on the buds are rolling around. Wang Mian became interested in painting from then on. At first, he painted badly. After painting for three months, the spirit and color of the lotus are very similar, just like those growing in the lake.
Passers-by see the painting is good, and some people buy it with money. Wang Mian got the money and bought some good things to honor her mother.
You can also contribute. When he grew up, the court asked Wang Mian to be an official, but Wang Mian insisted on not going and hid in the mountains. I think Wang Mian is aloof, different from being dull and dirty.
Some ancient times regarded reading as a stepping stone-"Books have their golden houses, books have their fun, and books have their own …". For the sake of wealth, they can study sleepless nights and get white hair from their black hair: Liang Hao, who won the first prize at the age of 80, and Zhou Jin, who has a grizzled beard, passed the exam for decades. Fan Jin was ecstatic ... and Wang Mian did not seek fame, money or wealth, which was beyond the control of ordinary people.
Today, I read The Scholars, which left a deep impression on me. Yes, books are the ladder of human progress, and we can't do without books! Reading The Scholars, I think-.
Three glasses of turbid wine will make you drunk, but the water will be weak. "This is the scholar at the beginning of a few words.
It can be said that this is also the soul of the whole book. Although these words are commonplace, how many people can really understand people? It is this sentence that has harmed a group of scholars.
They regard reading as a stepping stone-"Books have their own golden houses, books have their own happiness, and books have their own beautiful mothers …". For the sake of money and wealth, they can study all night, and they can go from black hair to white hair: Liang Hao, who won the top prize at the age of 80, and Zhou Jin, a "little friend", who has been the top prize for decades, are ecstatic ... For the sake of fame and fortune, scholars are haggard and their clothes are getting wider, and they never regret it. Mr. Lu Xun called the feudal ethics a man-eating ethics, so it is not an exaggeration to call the feudal imperial examination system a harmful system.
Reading actually emphasizes a long process of seeking knowledge. Wang Guowei said it very well. Reading is divided into three realms: "Last night, the west wind withered the green trees, and I went to the West Building alone to look at the horizon." This is my determination.
"I won't regret it when my clothes get wider, and I am haggard for Iraq." This is a struggle. "Looking for him in the crowd for thousands of Baidu, suddenly looking back, that person is in the dim light" This is the final success.
And those who are bent on seeking fame in the Confucian forest, the first step-determination, went wrong. In my opinion, reading is a process in which one constantly absorbs spiritual food.
The most important thing is to absorb it and then turn it into your own strength. This is consistent with the effect of three meals a day: eating, absorbing nutrition, and then promoting self-growth.
It's a pity that some students in the Confucian forest only pay attention to "food", that is, they study for decades, but ignore absorption. For them, reading is just a tool to knock on the door of wealth.
Once the goal is achieved, this tool is worthless. These people, even if they study all their lives, will not have any knowledge to absorb and transform into their own strength.
These books are useless except that they are malnourished. Of course, there are also people in the Confucian forest who are "drunk and awake alone, turbid and clear alone".
Wang Mian is one of them. Because of his poor family, he has been herding cattle for his neighbors since childhood.
On the cow's back, he still reads widely, and even taught himself to be a famous pen for painting boneless flowers. From then on, from ordinary people to rich people in the magistrate's county came to ask for paintings.
However, Wang Mian has a different temperament and does not seek official positions. The court wrote to Zhejiang Political Department to recruit Wang Mian as an official, but he lived in seclusion in Huiji Mountain.
Later generations often call Wang Mian Wang Shenjun. But did Wang Mian ever become an official? Can be in front of fame, inner peace, unmoved, and only Wang Mian these scholars phoenix feather scale Angle.
Today, hundreds of years later, I want to read The Scholars carefully. Sometimes I sigh for the vulgarity and absurdity of literati and celebrities at that time, and sometimes I am angry for the meanness and ugliness of corrupt officials.
With his humorous language, Wu vividly portrayed the decadent and dark side of the imperial examination system in feudal society. No wonder later generations have a sigh that "be careful not to read a scholar, reading it is actually a daily entertainment, not a scholar".
Besides A Dream of Red Mansions, Scholars is my favorite novel. It is a satirical novel, which changes the mode of spreading history and describing heroes, talented people and beautiful women in Ming and Qing Dynasties.
It is rare in China's novels to reflect the society realistically with vivid pen and ink and realistic techniques and aim at the society. Wu, the author of The Scholars, was a famous figure in the period of Kang and Gan.
He was born in the family of famous ministers in past dynasties. He was once recommended to be an official, but he refused to take care of his illness. "The Scholars" truly shows Wu's personal experience, what he saw and heard, and also entrusts his temperament of attaching importance to literary sources and neglecting fame and fortune.
"The Scholars" depicts the world and human feelings, which is really like casting a tripod, fascinating and full of scale; There has been a comment that the Scholars wrote a gentleman, such as seeing the truth and smelling the proverbs; He writes villains, peeks into their hearts and describes their voices. What you can't draw is a pen.
