( 1867~ 19 16)
Modern Japanese writers.
Natsume Soseki enjoys a lofty position in the history of modern Japanese literature and is called "a great national writer". He has high attainments in both eastern and western cultures. He is not only an English scholar, but also good at haiku (はぃく), China's poetry (かんし), calligraphy and painting. When writing novels, he is good at using antithesis, overlapping sentences, humorous language and novel forms. His precise and subtle description of personal psychology created the trend of later private novels (わたくしょぅせつ). There are many scholars under his door (such as すずきほ by Suzuki Miyoshi)
all one's life
Natsume Soseki (なつめきんのすけ) was born in 1867 (Keio "けぃぉぅ" for three years. The Natsume family has great influence in Edo. As the eighth son of the family, Kinnosuke had gradually declined before his birth, and his parents didn't want this son to be born, so he was once fostered in other people's homes after his birth. At the age of two, he was adopted as the adopted son of Yan Yuan's family. Since then, due to the emotional disharmony between adoptive parents and the influence of adoptive father's work, he often moved. At the age of ten, I finally returned to my biological parents. However, such a happy life is extremely short. My father and brother have always been at odds with him and disapproved of his strong literary ambitions. His mother died of illness at the age of fifteen, and Kinnosuke left home at the age of nineteen to start his lodging career.
These experiences are believed to have a great influence on Kinnosuke's mood and later creation. It can be seen from several autobiographical novels, such as Young Master, Sanshiro, Houhou, Straw and so on. Most of the protagonists in the story have good families, but they are not valued by their fathers and brothers. Therefore, they are often lonely and have long realized that they want to stand on their own feet, but they are all eager for the warmth of their families. Some people say that literature is a "symbol of depression". Writers realize the imperfection of the real world because of their own experience or compassion, and only by painstaking efforts can they produce touching works, but this touching power often comes from pain and misfortune. Looking back on his life, we know that this sentence is correct.
1874, entered Dong Tian School in Asakusa-Shouchi at the age of seven. Natsume liked Chinese studies since childhood, and began to study China ancient books at the age of 14. When he was a teenager, he was determined to be born in China. 1888 was admitted to Tokyo No.1 High School. He became good friends with his classmate まさぉかしきき, who later advocated the haiku movement. At the age of 22, he commented on Masaoka Shiki's "Seven Leaves of Grass" in Chinese and wrote his travel notes "Sawdust" in Chinese poems.
It was in this year that "Shu" was first used as a pseudonym. It is said that the story of this name with sinology implication is taken from China's Biography of the Book of Jin and Sun Chu. It is said that Sun Chu wanted to experience seclusion when he was young, so he told his friend Wang Ji that he would go to "wash the stone pillow". Wang Ji said to him, "flow can't be pillow, stone can't be washed." Sun Chu then argued: "Pillow flow is ear washing; Stone washing is to sharpen teeth. " This story shows Sun Chu's indomitable spirit. Kinnosuke's pen name "Shu Shi" is in line with his strong will, but there is another saying that Kinnosuke and Sun Chu are both regarded as eccentric people, so the allusion of "Shu Shi" is used as a metaphor.
Since then, the life purpose of "based on literature" has been clarified. At the same time, he realized that learning English became an inevitable trend. Only by mastering English can he keep up with the trend of the times, become a powerful country and become a social elite.
1890, 23-year-old Natsume Sozaki entered the English Department of the Liberal Arts University of Imperial University of Tokyo and made great achievements. He publishes academic papers from time to time. Therefore, as soon as he graduated from 1893 University, he successfully entered Tokyo Normal University under the recommendation of the president, and actively participated in the haiku innovation movement in Masaoka Shiki. Two years later, he resigned to teach at Songshan Middle School in Ehime Prefecture and transferred to Kumamoto Fifth College the following year. Since then, he has been a teacher until he was 33 years old. ( 1900)
1900, Natsume Soseki went to study in Britain for two years on the orders of the Ministry of Education. Natsume Soseki is not complacent because of his excellent performance in English. Compared with the Chinese people's efforts to learn from the West after the Meiji Restoration, Sosuke Natsume actively created and published many poems and haiku based on his original sinology and Japanese.
A hard-working career naturally affects physical and mental health. At the age of 27, he contracted tuberculosis. In order to recuperate, he went to Yuanjue Temple in Kamakura to attend meditation. The life of meditation enriches the theme of his future creation, but his condition has not improved much. Coupled with neurasthenia, his world-weariness was germinated. Not long after returning to Tokyo, she married Nakagen Jing and was promoted to professor in the same year. However, Spiegel later attempted suicide because of hysteria, which cast a shadow over her peaceful family life. While studying abroad, Natsume Soseki realized that the so-called English literature was very different from the English he had known before. Mastering English is not enough to strengthen the country's strength, which makes the ideal of survival in summer almost shattered. Coupled with the lack of funds for studying abroad, his wife seldom wrote letters because of pregnancy, which aggravated his neurasthenia. He suffered from neurasthenia until he returned to China, but it also stimulated him to concentrate more on writing.
1903 returned to Japan, where he worked as an English professor in the No.1 higher school and a lecturer in English literature in the University of Tokyo. He often wrote haiku and essays for Du Fu magazine.
1905, at the age of 38, he published a short story "I am a cat" in Du Fu magazine, which was well received and serialized again and again at the request of readers. Inspired by this, Soseki gained creative motivation, and the next decade was the peak of his creation. Subsequently, novellas Brothers, Accommodation and short story collection Yang (originally a collection of short stories, later renamed, see Yang Xu, Yanbo Bookstore Edition) came out one after another, and Su Shi became a famous writer in Japanese literary world.
1907 resigned from the teaching post, engaged in professional creation, and wrote serial novels for Asahi Shimbun. The novel "Young Mermaid Grass", which discusses love and inheritance, began to be serialized, and then the trilogy "Sanshiro", "Later" and "Door" came out one after another. Soon after, Fu Zi caught up with the Great Uprising and shocked the cultural circles. His creation changed from criticizing the objective reality to revealing the subjective world. His representative works include the Spring Equinox Season, Pedestrian and Heart trilogy. The last works of his life are the autobiographical novel Straw and the unfinished Light and Shadow.
19 1 1 refused to accept the title of doctor awarded by the government. 19 16 died of gastric ulcer.
After his death, Natsume Sozaki donated his brain and stomach to the Faculty of Medicine of Imperial University in Tokyo. His brain is still preserved in the University of Tokyo.
1984, his head was printed on the paper money of 1000 yen (now it has been replaced by the bacteriologist Hideki Noguchi (のぐちひでよししし).

long novel
I am a cat established Natsume Soseki's position in the history of literature. The novel uses humorous, ironic and funny techniques, with the help of a cat's vision, hearing and feeling, and takes the daily life of the protagonist's middle school teacher Misa Zhenzi as the main line, interspersed with the contradiction between neighbor capitalist Jintian's attempt to marry a woman and plotting to retaliate against Misa Zhenzi, mocking the empty spiritual life of intellectuals in Meiji era and their arrogance but inaction; Dissatisfied with reality, but unable to resist; Mediocre and boring, it devalues the character of secular contradiction and lashes the snobbish, vulgar and cruel nature of bourgeois figures such as Jintian and their accomplices. This novel is ingenious in conception, exaggerated in description, flexible in structure and distinctive in artistic features.
The material of Brothers is taken from the writer's bumpy experience of leaving Beijing to teach in other places. It tells the story of a simple and upright little brother who ran into a wall everywhere in a rural middle school and was wronged everywhere. The language of the novel is humorous, the description technique is exaggerated and funny, and the characters are distinct and prominent. Boarding is an attempt of the author's romanticism. The story of a young painter who went to nature to find a pure and beautiful world far from reality and beyond society.
Saburo describes a rural youth, Saburo Nana Ogawa, who comes to Tokyo and is shocked by modern civilization and modern women. Then continue the theme of love tragedy of Saburo. The novel portrays a rebellious but indecisive intellectual Dai Zhu, denounces the so-called chivalrous morality that goes against natural feelings, and reveals the progressive consciousness of resisting secular ethics. The door is the end of the trilogy of love tragedy. The hero Nonaka Sosuke and his friend's girlfriend Amy fall in love and combine, leading to social exclusion. They lived in seclusion in a house without sunlight. On the one hand, they tasted the sweetness of sincerity, on the other hand, they realized the bitterness of others and fell into a dilemma. This is a human tragedy in which free and sincere love is not tolerated by society, and it is also a portrayal of intellectuals' pursuit of personal happiness and their inability to get rid of the shackles of moral norms.
The trilogy "Vernal Equinox", "Pedestrian" and "Heart" focuses on depicting the suspicious and world-weary psychology of intellectuals. It is light and shade that reflects the author's later creative thoughts. The novel describes the subtle relationship between Tsuda and Ayan with delicate and vivid psychology, exposes people's selfish, depressed and hopeless mentality, and warns people to get rid of selfishness and conform to God's will.
Natsume Sasaki wrote two literary theory works, a large number of haiku, hundreds of China poems, a large number of essays and letters in his life, but his greatest contribution in literature was to set up a monument to critical realism literature with dozens of novels and a large number of short stories, which gave profound enlightenment to later writers.
Resurrection in TV series
In May 2006, Tokyo TBS broadcast "I am a housewife", and Natsume Sasaki was resurrected through modern TV series. Through these 40 episodes of TV series, I learned more or less about the writer's dribs and drabs, personality and life works.
Introduction to I am a Housewife: A very ordinary housewife. The housewife's husband is eager to quit his current job to pursue his dream. Green is a housewife. Because he was too focused on calculating future expenses, he attracted Natsume Sasaki, the patron saint of thousand yuan old banknotes. Since then, she claimed to be a prestigious literary master in the Meiji era, calling herself "our generation". She looks like an ordinary housewife on the outside, but she is an out-and-out literary master on the inside. The life of a housewife who works hard for her family's livelihood begins.
