I still remember Yu's comment on Sina. com: Yu is famous for his historical and cultural prose. With rich knowledge of literature and history and beautiful words, he led readers to go boating in the long river of Millennium civilization. Yu's artistic theory works are also highly valued and respected by academic circles. For example, his Historical Draft of Drama Theory, published in 1983, is Chinese mainland's first historical work that comprehensively expounds the development of drama thoughts in all countries of the world from ancient times to the present. Some critics praised it as: writing prose with your left hand, not superficial; The theory of right-handed writing art is rich and profound.
Yes, one of his books, Cultural Journey, is also deeply imprinted in our minds. Some people say that the sky of China's prose is starry sky, while the cultural journey is a river system, and every star exudes unfathomable aura, with extraordinary charm. Some people call him the last master of prose in this century and the first poet to create a new style of prose. However, some people say that his works are specimens of the decline of cultural prose. I think I think it is 1 and 2, which I agree with most, because in "Cultural Journey", Yu showed us the teachings from that ancient site, which we will remember.
The book "Cultural Journey" not only tells us the ancient history of China, but also tells us a deeper truth. Take the second part of Taoist pagoda as an example. The article wrote: I really don't know how a Buddhist holy place can be taken care of by a Taoist. Where are all the civil servants in China? Why do they never mention the reason of Dunhuang? At that time, it was the beginning of the 20th century, and European and American artists were brewing a breakthrough in the new century. Rodin is sculpting in his studio, Renoir, Degas and Cezanne are in the late stage of creation, and Manet has exhibited his Lunch on the Grass. Some of them cast envious eyes on oriental artists, and Dunhuang art is in the hands of Taoist king. Taoist Wang gets up early every day and likes to walk around the cave, just like an old farmer, watching his house. He is a little dissatisfied with the murals in the cave and looks a little dizzy. I wish it were brighter. He found two helpers and brought a bucket of lime. Put a long handle on the grass brush, soak it in the lime bucket and start his painting. The first time lime was painted too thin, and the color was still faintly visible. The farmer told him to do things seriously, and he brushed it carefully for the second time. The air here is dry, and the lime will soon dry. There is nothing left. Laughter in the Tang Dynasty and clothes in the Song Dynasty are all white in the cave. The Taoist priest simply smiled and inquired about the market price of lime. He calculated that it was unnecessary to brush more caves for the time being, so let's brush these. He put down the brush handle philosophically. When all the cave walls were painted new, the sculpture of the middle seat was too eye-catching. In a clean farmhouse, their graceful posture is too ostentatious, and their gentle smiles are a bit embarrassing. The Taoist priest remembered his identity. As a Taoist, why don't you get some Shi Tian and Lingguan Bodhisattvas here? He ordered his assistant to borrow some hammers to bend the original sculpture. Things are not bad, only a few times, graceful posture into pieces, gentle smile into mud. It is said that there are several masons in the neighboring village. They invited them, mixed some mud and began to build his celestial spirit officer. The mason said that he had never done this kind of work, and the Taoist comforted him. I might as well mean that. So, just like an urchin making a snowman, here is the nose, here are the hands and feet, and finally you can sit still. All right, get more lime to paint it. Draw a pair of eyes and a beard. It looks decent. The Taoist priest took a deep breath, thanked several masons, and then made the next plan. Today, when I walked into these caves, I felt pale in the face of pale walls and strange images. I can hardly speak, and my eyes are shaking with those brushes and hammers. Stop it! I cried out in pain at the bottom of my heart, only to see the Taoist king turn his face and be full of doubts. Yes, he is tidying up his house. Why do idle people make trouble? I even want to kneel down to him and beg him in a low voice: Please wait, wait, but what are you waiting for? My heart is still pale.
Yes, in this article, I wrote the author's dissatisfaction with Taoist practices. In the article, he shouted stop! Someone wrote: I even want to kneel down to him and beg him in a low voice: please wait a moment. Wait a minute? Yes, why is the author like this? He can't stand, can't stand Taoist priests to destroy those beautiful statues, that's history, history! Why was history destroyed by a Taoist priest? Just like that, it was destroyed at once, and I couldn't bear to watch the beautiful statue disappear. In the hands of Taoist priests, it suddenly turned into ashes, leaving us no room for the world to watch now. A Taoist priest, driven by money and power, has become so cruel and crazy. I believe that not only Mr. Yu and I feel extremely sorry, but also I believe that we are reading the Cultural Journey.
"Cultural Journey" made me understand the meaning of the word "bitterness", let me learn to regret, and learn how not to let regret exist.
The newspaper said that I write books easily, but it's not like that at all. This is a kind of hard work that you can't control. As soon as I started writing, I felt that my age was growing. No matter in the Spring and Autumn Period, I always close my eyes, calm my heart, and return to the indifference of history and the severity of reason. This is the preface of Professor Yu's Cultural Journey. Well, wild fun is what I want to say!
Reflections on the second cultural journey 1500 words
China's splendid civilization is being obliterated by time. I wonder if those people who reminisce about that sad history in the corner while lambasting historical sinners have really closed their eyes, calmed their hearts and returned to the indifference and rationality of history. I have always admired those scholars who know history and dare to criticize it. At the same time, I think Mr. Yu, a professor at Shanghai Theatre Academy, is a hero among countless scholars, and his Cultural Journey is the most outstanding top grade among thousands of literary and historical prose works.
This book is Mr. Yu's first collection of cultural essays. Some of these articles won the first prizes of various literary awards. The main purpose of this book is to seek the secrets of cultural soul and life with the help of scenery, and to explore the historical fate of China culture and the historical composition of China literati. These articles by Mr. Yu, with their profound knowledge of literature and history, rich cultural perception and artistic expression, not only reveal the great connotation of China culture, but also provide a brand-new example for contemporary prose circles.
Mr. Yu attracts readers with his unique writing charm, which is a bitter memory, an understanding after anxiety, a relaxation after meditation and a youth after old age. Like many educated youth scholars, he once sighed deeply in this book, but the same sigh appeared in different places, and the charm was far from the same. As he said, I can be young. His life is very flexible. He always upholds the spirit of young people, enjoys the leisure in his later years and spends his whole middle-aged life. Therefore, Yu Xiansheng is a half-breed at any time. So his articles are always mixed with different feelings. For example, his sadness about the loss of China culture is full of young people's insults to dissatisfaction, middle-aged people's helplessness to the world, and old people's regret for vicissitudes.
Maybe some ideas are completely unintentional, but the inspiration for writing this book is definitely intentional. Obviously, he discovered the dusty place of China's history and culture. In today's era of vigorously promoting China's splendid civilization, it is naturally more striking and thoughtful to put forward such a specious view. China's ancient civilization once created a prosperous time in ancient times. In order to preserve its prosperity, people handed down splendid culture from generation to generation, and successively built large buildings such as Mogao Grottoes and Dujiangyan. Even ordinary arched buildings and library buildings are printed with cultural traces. But people's ideals are always good, but time is against people and changes endlessly. What people want to save again will be washed away by time within a certain limit. Although some of them are man-made, in the final analysis, they still come from the blank of history. Some historical dust can't be left behind, and many scholars are sad and regret it. They always live in a past that doesn't belong to them, and they will never get out alive. Therefore, facing up to the past and the present is an important topic at present that I have learned from this book, and I also think this is the subject of Mr. Yu's research and warning. Because only those who truly understand the historical situation can print their own rut marks on the basis of conforming to the wheel of history.
Smoke a wicker and break a peach branch. Have a cup of tea and read a good book.
Walk into the leisure, walk into the "cultural journey".
Some time ago, there was a lot of controversy about this book and its author. Now that I have read it, I have studied it roughly and feel that the discussion is taken for granted. Written in this book, there are passers-by, down-and-out literati who have been wandering all their lives, descendants of Fan Qin who have time to protect the ancient cultural heritage, and people who are simple and kind but ignorant and deprived of beauty. It profoundly depicts the shameful side of one culture after another.
What impressed me most was the description of the site culture. Yu Xiansheng seems to have a soft spot for this. He wrote about the tomb many times, and inserted the description of the tomb many times in his narrative.
No matter what grave, it marks a person's death. This person's life may be miserable, may be admired through the ages, or may be a heavy emotional sorrow arrival in this world. If not immortal, at least there should be a pile of loess to shelter from the wind and rain.
Maybe he thinks death is better than living. Some things are enough to have memories, at least butterflies have been to this world. He said: as long as history does not stop and time does not go backwards, everything will age. When you are old, you will be old and give the world a kind and beautiful peace. Pretending to be naive is the cruelest form of self-abuse. Grandma without wrinkles is terrible, and old people without white hair are sorry. Let history return to reality and life return to the process. This is the great wisdom of mankind. There is no gossip around, go to a palace higher than reality to continue a new cycle. What we can do is to stand silently in front of the gravestones of our predecessors for a few minutes, sigh for a while about the vicissitudes of life, and experience the true meaning of life for a while, because only in the noise of modern times can the tranquility of history have power, and only in the meditation of modern people can the past rise to fable.
No one can distinguish between life and death. I know that lifestyle can be changed. Can death be reversed? What would a wise man do if he lived to be a hundred years old? What would a mediocre person do if he lived for a hundred years? Not to mention an evil person. By extension, the population has soared and the earth is overloaded! If the population of this world does not increase or decrease, it will be too boring. Without the birth of a new human being, the earth will stop turning.
Feeling good is not only important for adults, but also more important for children. Parents make children feel good about positive things, and children are easy to be interested in positive things. It is not difficult to do this, as long as you adjust your expectations for your child, move on on the basis of yesterday, and sincerely cheer for your child's every tiny progress. Only when children's minds are stretched can they form a good personality with development potential and have the opportunity to create their own happy life.
It is also mentioned in the book that Mr. Isabella Chow's Appreciate Your Children is a good medicine for educating children. Mr. Isabella Chow not only taught his born deaf daughter to speak, but also trained her to be a young college student and a doctoral student studying in the United States. His secret is: treat backward children with patience and confidence in teaching babies to walk and learn to speak, and turn what you can't do into what you can do! A 10 answer sheet with 9 mistakes can actually become in his mouth: doing such a difficult question at such a young age, doing it right for the first time, is much better than dad's. If you work hard, maybe you can do better! I think, if parents and teachers can appreciate and inspire their children in this way and use effective learning methods for counseling, our students and children will definitely move forward step by step!
I think those graves should have special significance. Especially in front of the grave, a quiet atmosphere of remembrance or sadness? A feeling of wanting to cry lingers in my heart. The tombs of the ancients and the tombs of the Qin Dynasty are world-famous, and the seventy-two suspected tombs of Cao Cao are also very romantic, which has brought many benefits to the tourism industry. And those chastity archways that put ancient women in dire straits don't know whether to sigh or admire when they pass by. White clouds floated by, as if touching the archway and drifting again. The sunset glow rises, red and bright, lower than the archway, higher than the sky, dark and gloomy, as if to be crushed. Close your eyes and look again. It's getting dark. The stone pillars of the archway have long feet, flat heads and narrow mouths. Get up and run home. He wrote this in the book.
To some extent, people's feudal thoughts at that time were ignorant and conservative, but they didn't know those unknown workshops, and finally they were trampled on. What a pity! Fortunately, that era has gone away from us. Life is not beautiful, but there are many things to consider, which is quite hard. And those great men like Qu Yuan, Du Fu, Cao Xueqin and Lu Xun let their lives end at that moment, purifying the tragedy and giving people deeper thinking. Perhaps this parting is more profound.
The story about the tomb is not over yet, so let Mr. Yu continue to write. And I have to experience my life happily, which is far from over.
