Appreciation of Liang Heng's Prose "Summer Feeling"
Summer Sense is selected from Liang Heng's Collected Works (People's Education Press, 2002). Summer is not a popular season in the works of poets and writers. Perhaps, the germination of spring flowers can give people a sense of regeneration, the beauty and harmony of spring can release people's emotions freely; Perhaps, the harvest in autumn can give people a mature sense of satisfaction, and the loneliness in autumn can give people a dripping vent; Therefore, almost all the people who chanted about the Spring and Autumn Period, danced with words and made ink, were eager to cross the river. What about summer? Maybe it's too hot, too dense and a little "too thick to melt", so it always gives people a sense of disharmony, overload and overload. If so, how can we get the psychological identity of the literati who are governed by the "happy principle" like ordinary people? How can you not be assigned a vacancy by them! Even if someone writes it, it is inevitable that it will be written as "vicious gray sand array", "scalding pedestrians' faces", "dry and hot wind", "ferocious scream", "people are like dying fish" and "the earth trembles in the heat" (quoted from the works of Mao Dun, Lao She, Gorky and romain rolland)-a feeling of summer as a symbol of depression in artistic content. Or, it can be written as "I feel heartless when I sleep every day" (Yang Wanli) and "I throw books in the afternoon and dream for a long time" (Cai Que)-a summer feeling, which reveals a sense of helplessness in my leisure.
However, Comrade Liang Heng dares to do new and strange things, from what people say, "loudly praise the golden summer of spring and autumn." It should be noted that this kind of praise itself deserves our praise. The pure realm, rich elegance and lofty aesthetic feeling he created in this work, and his elegant language are even more impressive. Summer Sense is indeed a rare masterpiece in contemporary prose.

At the beginning of Summer Sense, the author wrote: "What fills the whole summer is a tense, warm and hurried melody. It's like a pot of cold water on the stove is bubbling, bubbling and finally boiling. The fine sandy grass on the hillside gradually grew into thick hair, and the faint blue smoke on the forest belt also condensed into a long dark wall. " Here, the simple metaphor of "a pot of cold water", the vivid personification of "thick hair" and the clever choice of words of "long wall and black color" seem as if the author is scanning from above, and several shots outline the macro view of summer scenery. The phrase "annoying cicadas, the potential leaves keep ringing" is like the voiceover of the above group of shots. The "annoyance" here shows the heat in summer, but there is no dull heart; It conveys the noise of summer without a trace of dryness. The persistent sound over the treetops reflects the bright colors of the summer scenery, sets off an atmosphere of "cicadas are silent in the forest", and also shows the richness, massiness and calmness of the summer earth. Therefore, the author has set a high-spirited and positive theme for the full text in the blend of sound and emotion and reality.
Then, the author put the perspective straight and moved the camera down, as if looking at the endless Yuan Ye, watching the rolling wheat waves "slapping the distant mountains, the clouds in the sky, slapping the cars on the expressway, like the waves surging over the ships." Here, what the author presents us is not a simple reduction of the real world, but a meaningful landscape, which is the flicker of external objects on the author's mind screen; In other words, it is a projection of the times reflecting the author's emotional beam. Then, a wave of hot air, "floating across the field", seems to be blowing "mature wheat fragrance" to the author and readers who are overlooking. This little dyeing is not only just right but also icing on the cake. Just as the contrast of cicada singing in front is the blend of sound and color, the touch dyeing here is the harmony of color and fragrance. If the previous contrast is a touch of atmosphere, then the touch here is a sign of affection-a sign of the richness and enrichment of life. After such meticulous preparation, the author deliberately leads the brushwork to the key point of the article-"the spirit of spring, which has been accumulated for half a year, has now become a majestic trend, rolling in the fields and rising between heaven and earth."
This is the author's own summer feeling, which is a unique summer feeling that the author discovered, experienced and learned. From here, the author seems to naturally extend a subtle argument: "The color of spring is cool and green, such as blue waves and tender bamboo, full of hope;" The color of autumn is fiery red, such as sunset glow and red leaves, which indicates the extreme of things. Summer is just between spring flowers and autumn fruits, and naturally it should be neutral yellow. "This passage has unique sentences, unique words and clever parallelism, showing an antique and rare sense of interest, that is, a lyrical aesthetic feeling bred by the combination of beauty and deep feeling. This discussion focuses on the previous meaning, that is, occurrence, extension and deepening; In fact, it is also an abstract and incisive explanation of the essence of summer by a philosopher discovered, realized and learned by the author. So what does this quality mean? The author soon hit the nail on the head. It turns out that the "majestic momentum" accumulated in The Spirit of that Spring is exactly a great rush of "harvest there but hope is not exhausted", a rhythm of "connecting the past with the future and alternating life" from gestation to abundance, and a torrent of creative waves printed with huge letters of mankind. It is such a poem of strength, life and creation that the author enthusiastically eulogizes.

The summer praised by Comrade Liang Heng is a summer of rolling wheat waves and bursts of wheat fragrance, and a summer of "gold dominates everything in the world". Where is it this summer? Obviously, the author's emphasis is very clear. After that subtle discussion, he wrote: "You see, the wheat that has just been cut, the cotton seedlings with seven or eight green leaves in the field, the sorghum corn with megaphones in the sky, and the melon seedlings crawling on the ground all show exuberant vitality. At this time, their time in the spring breeze and light rain is not long, but under the transpiration of the hot summer, they are flourishing, and the end of Xiang Qiu is making a final sprint. " Here, the author's perspective seems to be getting closer and closer, and the lens has changed from grand to subtle. As a result, an interesting close-up jumped into our eyes. A word "pick" makes us almost feel the uniform and powerful breathing of cotton seedlings; A word "lift" makes us almost feel the joy of sorghum and corn shaking their heads; In a "crawling", we also felt the waist of the melon seedlings shaking and winding. It seems that everyone is seizing this wonderful time to show their talents and courageously "sprint" in the direction of self-improvement and sacred dedication day and night. In a word, the exquisite description makes us feel the elegance, tolerance and grace of people from these summer darlings. Flaubert once said, "No matter what you describe, there is only one verb that can make it vivid." . We must constantly think hard and find this word, and we must never use similar words to perfunctory it in order to avoid difficulties. "Comrade Liang Heng's passage is exquisitely crafted, and the author's bleak meaning is obvious. It is also a vivid practice of Flaubert's "one word theory". This passage not only strongly supports the artistic conception of the full text, but also enriches and strengthens the main image of Xia with gold as the keynote.
Looking at everything described by the author, I'm afraid it's hard for us to think of the beautiful south of the Yangtze River, and it's hard to think of the endless grassland beyond the Great Wall. I'm afraid the first thing that comes to mind is the magnificent Yellow River Basin-800 Li Qinchuan, Sanjin Plateau and endless alluvial plain, which spans Hebei, Shandong and Henan. Yes, it is this dignified and heavy yellow land that has nurtured our nation and nourished the splendid civilization of China for thousands of years, and the author himself has been resident in Sri Lanka for many years as a reporter of the Central News. Therefore, he regards the summer in the yellow land as a typical object of his indulgence and praise, which not only has the meaning of being familiar with life, but also has deeper symbolic and metaphysical significance.

Of course, the author of "Summer Sense" didn't just focus on the summer scenery, but let his perspective gradually enter the muscles from the surface, aiming at the real master of our planet-people. In summer, life is alternating, and at the end of crops, Xiang Qiu finally "sprints" in summer. This vigorous operation, of course, has the eternal generation mechanism of nature, but it can not be ignored that since human beings participated in it, it has mostly become the objectification of our will as the spirit of all things and a manifestation of human essential strength. Man is the real painter of summer colors; It is also a human being, which sets off the tense melody in summer. "Those farmers who wield sickles in the fields are bent and sweaty, thinking about cutting fast; As soon as the wheat came on the court, he thought about playing fast and playing fast. " "When the wheat is harvested, it's time to breathe a sigh of relief, and we must hurry to water the autumn seedlings." This passage seems to be written casually by the author, which is quite different from the previous meticulous carving. On the surface, it even gives people a clumsy and shallow feeling. The language form of line drawing is actually in line with the simple content. If a series of adjectives are piled on these ordinary workers, it may be a beautiful creation. Therefore, it is reasonable for the author not to use lead China here.
So, how to strengthen the artistic influence of works? The beauty of Comrade Liang Heng's application lies in the details. "Getting up early and going to bed late is enough for them. They have to listen to the window paper when they wake up in the middle of the night, but the wind is very strong; Looking out of the window, the sky is overcast. " These details are in line with the narrative features of quick cutting, quick beating, quick topdressing and quick watering, which constitute the overall style of this paragraph. At first glance, these details seem a bit trite, and repeated chewing is like making people feel its unique charm. In Listening to Window Paper and Looking out of the Window, the outline of summer tense melody is the fast rhythm of summer, and it is also the psychological lens introduced by the author through indirect expression. It externalizes the melodious melody of "every nerve is tense", and lets us see their eyes eager for harvest, their anxiety about harvest and the emotional rhythm of people ringing with the rhythm of summer in the imaginary space. In several details, it is extremely relaxed and vivid, bright and natural, vivid and vivid, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as "seemingly the most unusual". It can be said that if it is changed to another detail, the charm of the work will be greatly weakened.
Interestingly, the full text of Comrade Liang Heng's Summer Sense is exactly 666 words. I'm afraid this is a rare essay today. However, Comrade Liang Heng built such a beautiful world with these few words. It reminds us of exquisite and elegant sculptures, small bonsai, a plain silk, a jasper, a clear stream and a bunch of beautiful mountain flowers. In the past, people used the so-called "treasure of life, treasure of wisdom and treasure of beauty" to evaluate the beauty of prose, and "66" means harmony, wishful thinking and good luck in our national habits. "Summer Sense" is such a three-treasure article intended to be harmonious, wishful and auspicious!
Summer Sense is selected from Liang Heng's Collected Works (People's Education Press, 2002).
