The shad has been one of the "Three Freshness of the Yangtze River" since ancient times-the other two are swordfish and puffer fish, which have always been the treasures of river fresh. Although the taste of shad is fresh, it has many thorns, which makes many people afraid. It is said that Jiangnan gourmets are good at cooking shad, stewing shad with slow fire all night, removing bone spurs with hedges and making noodles with fish soup, which is extremely delicious.
Unfortunately, this freshwater river is now on the verge of extinction. In the 1970s, it was also a fishing season, only a few yuan to a dozen yuan a catty. At the beginning of reform and opening-up, due to overfishing, adult fish were scarce, which had risen to one catty in 400 yuan. 2000 yuan is still hard to buy now. Growing up in a noble family, Zhang Ailing has eaten many kinds of fish and many times of shad, so she can sigh that "shad is prickly". This "insatiable appetite and meticulous care" is exactly the demeanor of the old aristocrats in China.
Begonia, although also a famous flower, is not as elegant as peony, nor as tenacious as plum blossom; But its bright red and pure color has won the praise of great poets since ancient times. Su Shi's "Begonia Poetry" "Jiangcheng is rich in vegetation, and only famous flowers are bitter and lonely. Laugh at the bamboo fence, peaches and plums are always vulgar. " Compare Haitang to a lonely beauty. Although she lives in a foreign country, she is still beautiful and intelligent. ?
This shows that Haitang is a beautiful flower with high standards, and Zhang Ailing's aesthetic taste is also a high standard of beauty. It's a pity that begonia is colored, tangible and odorless, so it's no wonder that "begonia has no fragrance" has become her hate.
A Dream of Red Mansions is the pinnacle of China's classical literature, but it was lost in the last thirty or forty chapters for various reasons. It lasted a dime a dozen, but it ended in a dog's tail. The incompleteness of A Dream of Red Mansions is the "hate" of many readers, but this "hate" has reached Zhang Ailing's heart, which is unforgettable and heartbreaking. This shows that a real literary creator should be a high-level fan first.
