Homesickness retains cultural fragments.
"Homesickness" stands for "the sad mood of deeply missing my hometown". The Homesickness written by Yu Guangzhong, which we are most familiar with, is about "homesickness" that is too strong for the old country. Another homesickness written by Ma Yueran, a Swedish sinologist, not only comes from relatives, nature and past life experiences, but also has a lasting appeal, which permeates his exploration and pursuit of China culture for decades. This is Ma Yueran's cultural homesickness.
Half a year ago, I bought a book, Miss Beijing-Find Yesterday's World. From 1984 to 2006, the author Shen Jiguang walked in the streets of Beijing and took more than 5,000 photos. The book selects 420 works, and shows the disappearing old city-from palaces and ruins of Gong Yuan School to ordinary houses and hutong courtyards by using the intuitive and real records of pictures and the function of words appealing to thinking. From cymbals and columns, shops and gables, to kang mats and farm tools for grinding stones ... with detailed text descriptions and stories behind pictures. Sadly, many places where photos were taken have now been razed to the ground.
After the book was published, both cultural experts and ordinary readers spoke highly of the author's insistence on leaving dignity fragments for culture. "With the help of the lens of the camera, Shen Jiguang read a disappearing big city and captured its desolate posture in the afterglow of the sunset, conveying not only the cultural changes of a city, but also the so-called news of history and the passage of time, and this turmoil and cycle remain in' things', that is.
As a result of destroying ancient buildings, on the one hand, the real history was evacuated, leaving only the body; On the one hand, it is absurd and false. After such a shoddy "creation", history and culture have lost their sense of solemnity, sacredness, heaviness and even basic aesthetic feeling. How can we perceive the profoundness of history and culture? If we leave only a pile of "fragments" in the long history of urban architecture and urban civilization, our culture will only have "homesickness" in vain. ...
Homesickness is a philosophical proposition.
Homesickness and Conscience is a collection of essays by literary translator Lin. "The small ravine makes me feel homesick forever, that is, I look forward to, cherish and miss every tree and grass in my hometown." His parents' hard life, separation from their parents, personal wandering and things in his hometown all become the projection of his homesickness. So, what is homesickness? The author's understanding is, "'a exhausted love, you should repay it slowly!'" "That should be the hardest, softest, heaviest, most ethereal, most solemn and common emotion in our hearts. Homesickness is the cornerstone and yeast of all other emotions, which breeds sympathy, kindness and love, and the feelings and beauty of literature. And its rational crystallization, I thought it was conscience. This feeling of "homesickness" urged him to observe and think about social phenomena and social problems.
Although we regard "homesickness" as a kind of cultural psychology and spirit of the times, in essence, "homesickness" is first and foremost a philosophical cultural proposition. Nobel Prize in Literature winner and German writer hermann hesse's Homesickness describes Pater's many experiences and spiritual wanderings from youth to youth in an autobiographical genre-bumps and struggles on the emotional road, the drowning blow of friends, loneliness and loneliness in life, the call and fetters of family members, and the yearning for nature, and then seeks the real spiritual hometown and obtains the "spiritual hometown".
Some writers once said that each of us, whether in life or in mind, should have our own hometown. His hometown is not only the birthplace of his life, but also the foundation of his spiritual life. If he loses his home, he will be as anxious as duckweed. Therefore, we must pursue and find this home. The burning pain of this sought-after soul is a typical "homesickness". Therefore, this spiritual and spiritual theme in Hesse's Homesickness has a wide range of symbolic significance and an atmosphere of philosophical thinking.
In Being and Transcendence, the German philosopher Jaspers wrote: The contemporary world is facing the danger of historical continuity fracture, so we must carefully grasp the historical memory of ancient buildings, ancient villages, ancient cultural features and other cultural relics to find the source of life for nurturing our modern people. Writer Feng Jicai said: "The carrier of homesickness is historical inheritance". If ancient buildings, ancient villages, ancient cultures and other cultural relics are destroyed, disappeared and annihilated, then the historical fracture will become a fact, we will destroy ourselves, and the cultural world and spiritual world will become barren. ...
"Homesickness" means "a city that can't be integrated, a hometown that can't be returned"
Homesickness, as a spiritual landscape, generally exists in the hearts of those who wander in different places. With the advancement of urbanization, homesickness has added a kind of lost mentality of "hometown that is becoming strange". It can be said that there is a kind of helplessness in homesickness. "A city that can't be integrated into and a hometown that can't be returned to" is a prominent problem facing urbanization at present ... Yijian Ye's China in Homesickness is based on the author's personal experience and thinking. Among them, the disappearance of rural and homesickness, the strangeness and lack of belonging of urban people can be said to be the deepest and most painful content for the author. "I go back to my hometown more than once a year, but every time I go back to my hometown for so many years, I always feel more and more familiar and unfamiliar, which is related to the change of my thoughts and more related to the change of my hometown. The vast rural areas in China, including my hometown, are undergoing earth-shaking changes and even reconstruction. China's rural development is in a critical period of history. My worry is that if we can run on the right road, we may have a bright future. However, if we are led in the wrong direction, then maybe it will be the dusk of every hometown and eventually become the last touch of homesickness in a city country. "
