Zheng Xie's "It's Rare to Be Confused"
Stand firmly on the green hills and never relax,
The roots are still in the broken rocks,
After thousands of grinding blows Still strong,
No matter the wind blows from east to west, north to south.
This is a poem by Zheng Banqiao that I learned when I was in junior high school. I really like it. As time goes by, the feeling of reciting this poem is very different every time. It is like a fine wine. The longer it goes, the more time goes by. The thicker the aroma... In fact, Zheng Banqiao is not a poet. To be precise, he is a calligrapher from the Qing Dynasty who left the famous "Banqiao style". Zheng Banqiao's calligraphy uses official script and regular script, neither official script nor regular script, neither ancient nor modern. The individual fonts may seem crooked, but the overall feeling is well-proportioned and unique. Some people say, "This kind of work cannot exist without one or two."
As the saying goes: "Words are like people", but I want to say: "Words are like life". Isn't each of our lives "indispensable for one or two"? Zheng Banqiao Fengxian "rare" The life philosophy of "confused" coincides with the essence of "Banqiao Style". His life was also quite rough. His mother died when he was four years old and he was raised by his stepmother. From a poem Banqiao once wrote to his wet nurse, you can imagine what kind of suffering he went through in his childhood! The poem says: He is not the only wet nurse who has been unkind to him in his life. He always hated being rich and late, so he lived in shame for a long time. The road to Huangquan is winding and wide. A gray-haired man is old and ugly, and his food and salary are tens of millions of dollars, which is not as good as having a piece of cake in his hand.
Zheng Banqiao's calligraphy is unique. It may seem crooked but reveals the character of "holding firm to the mountains and letting the wind blow from east to west, north and south". Looking for a Star I admire such words and people very much. This reminds me of Linghu Chong in Mr. Jin Yong's "The Swordsman". On the surface, he is so uninhibited, comfortable and comfortable, but Linghu Chong's But there is a heroic demeanor in his bones. Linghu Chong's life is an apt expression of "Banqiao style": it is not regular script, neither ancient nor modern, it looks crooked, but it feels well-proportioned...
What is Banqiao? Looking for a star According to Xing, Banqiao represents integrity, kindness, persistence and perseverance, which are also the qualities that contemporary Chinese students should possess. We are a generation that grew up in the spring breeze of reform and opening up. Now we are in an era that pays attention to individuality and fashion. Integrity, kindness, persistence and perseverance seem to be far away from us. We also seem to have lost the pursuit of ideals like "the magic needle that fixes the sea". In a trance, fluttering. The biggest difference between "Banqiao" and "Banqiao body" is that Banqiao is the direct reflection of the inner soul, while Banqiao body is exactly our behavior. It can be alternative, fashionable, or small, but what can be conveyed is integrity. , kindness, persistence and perseverance, this is the unique realm of life.
The college entrance examination is like crossing a "banqiao". However, with the deepening of opening up at any time and the progress of the times, the college entrance examination is no longer a single-plank bridge. There are many ways to enter institutions of higher learning. This kind of advancement with the times Isn't the college entrance examination system the best embodiment of the "Banqiao body"?
Everyone's birth cannot be chosen, and everyone's growth environment cannot be chosen, but everyone's life path is You can master it yourself, especially in today's social environment that embraces all rivers and lakes, achieving "Banqiao Body" is not a dream. Zheng Banqiao has set an example for us personally, and it depends on us next!
