It also caused a sensation in Taiwan's cultural and publishing circles. The large circulation of its works is encouraging. In recent years, due to the promotion of mass media, Mr. Yu Qiuyu's influence has been expanding day by day, becoming a focus figure and a major star in the press and cultural circles. However, as Yu Qiuyu's reputation grew, various criticisms and criticisms also followed one after another, and became more and more intense. This phenomenon has become a unique landscape in today's literary world. Based on this, the author attempts to survey the various criticisms of Mr. Yu Qiuyu in recent years in order to express his views on Yu Wen and his suggestions for current literary criticism. Of course, due to my limited knowledge and incomplete information, as well as the fact that it is my first time to operate this type of writing, loopholes and deficiencies are inevitable. I sincerely look forward to the criticism and corrections from readers and Fang Jia. (By the way, I am not writing this article to be arty, I really have something to say)
Focus: The coexistence of multiple criticism patterns
Most literary criticism has a strong polemical color and Subjective tendency, which is subject to the critic's different personality upbringing, knowledge background, reading level, age characteristics, etc. Therefore, when making specific criticisms, some are expressed as unrealistic flattery and flattery, some are expressed as tit-for-tat refutations and criticisms, some are expressed as unscrupulous abuse and attacks, and some are expressed as realistic evaluations and discussions. All these are fully reflected in the process of criticizing Yu Qiuyu's prose. The author roughly divides the academic criticism of Qiu Yu's prose into four types, namely the flattering type, the refuting and criticizing type, the abusive and attacking type, and the evaluation and discussion type.
Plagiarism and flattery type
Among this type of criticism, articles by Leng Chengjin, Sha Yexin, Lou Zhaoming and others are the most typical.
Leng Chengjin spoke highly of Yu Wen in the "Summary of Contents" of his paper "On the Value Orientation of Yu Qiuyu's Prose". The original words are as follows: "Yu Qiuyu's prose conducted an in-depth search of the character of traditional literati with a strong sense of national responsibility and the mission of the times, and made a sober selection of complex cultural traditions. From the "cute" cultural traditions Looking for "credible" factors with realistic rationality; Yu Qiuyu's prose is established in the depths of cultural tradition, focusing on the reconstruction of national cultural character with its cold rationality and abundant humanistic consciousness, thus completing an important transcendence of contemporary prose." . At the end of this article, he also wrote: Yu Qiuyu is indeed a poet. Reading his prose is like reciting Chen Ziang's "Dengyouzhou Taige", which makes us think about the past and present and all directions, and makes us deeply aware of personal The pursuit of culture may have become hopeless, but the overall harmony of culture and the laws of heaven are still worthy of deep trust.
The famous writer Sha Yexin said that Yu Qiuyu is a master of prose, and "Cultural Journey" is a masterpiece, a sentiment flowing from the bottom of his heart, and a representative work of exquisite culture. Lou Zhaoming asserted in "The Voyage of Cultural Integration": "Yu Qiuyu may be the last master-level prose writer at the end of this century, and he is also the first poet to create a new style of prose." Sun Shaozhen wrote an article in "Contemporary Writers Review" Said: "After the emergence of Mr. Yu Qiuyu's prose, prose as a literary form is opening a new chapter in history... Among the prose classics since the May Fourth Movement, we have not found any precedent: such a long and rich The cultural background and historical data, such a huge knowledge capacity, so close to the rational color of academic papers, and so full of wisdom and interest.
"
Zhu Xiangqian wrote in "Prose" and "Wen" of Prose: "Almost every piece of Yu Qiuyu's cultural prose is soaked in the bitterness of Chinese culture and the collective pain of Chinese literati. The true experience and true temperament of personal life are cast into words, which are light and powerful. They not only inherit the legacy of new literary prose but also start a generation of trends and raise the entire contemporary prose creation to a new level. "After reading "Cultural Journey", the female prose writer Mei Jie excitedly praised: "Looking up at the sky of Chinese prose, it should be said that the stars are still shining brightly! And Mr. "Cultural Journey" is one of the rivers! Every star in this river system is exuding a charismatic and unfathomable halo! (See "I read "Cultural Journey"")"
Refutation and criticism type
Among this type of comments, articles by Yu Kaiwei, Tang Yize, Zhu Guohua, Wang Yongbiao and others are the most typical. .
Yu Kaiwei's "Should Yu Qiuyu Reflect", "Who is the Cultural Killer" and "Summer Wind and Autumn Rain Worry" can be said to be three articles criticizing Yu Qiuyu. The professor does not have the courage to reflect and introspect, but he has the courage to fight back against his critics. He regards his criticism as related to the future destiny of Chinese culture. This can only lead to the misalignment between the writer's self-perception and objective reality. Unable to transcend himself, he fell into the dilemma of self-expansion and mental mutation. The article "Who" believes that Yu Qiuyu should be calm, calm, rational and scientific in dealing with articles criticizing himself. , complicating and intensifying the problem, this approach can only cause greater division, loss of control and chaos in the cultural field, and worsen the cultural ecological environment.
Tang Yize in "Cultural Journey": The decline of cultural prose. The article "Specimen" points out: The "Wen" book is now an appetizer for some readers, and will soon become a disgusting product for readers; Yu Qiuyu's "Wen" uses classical things to express his own feelings, and uses things from the past to express Qiu Yu's aspirations. , coupled with a few heart-wrenching passages of sorrow; "Wen" appears to be modern and beautiful prose, but its body is just a dance of ancient history, that is, it is an assembly of ancient history and modern beautiful prose. In short, "Wen" only stays at reclamation. On the basis of the solemn chanting of ancient civilization, instead of becoming the peak of culture, it has fallen into the trough of nausea. It is a monotonous collection of prose.
Zhu Guohua wrote in "Farewell". "A Kind of Kitsch" pointed out that the tone of almost every article in "Cultural Journey" is the condescending tone of academic authority, the nostalgia for the past and the present in the style of leaving the old and the young, the compassion of the pastor when preaching, and is also mixed with the unique characteristics of old-style literati To put it bluntly, the spiritual essence of "Cultural Journey" is a sentimental sentiment with no originality. In addition, he also said that Yu Qiuyu's prose creation is "story-poetic language culture." "Sigh" the production line.
In his article "The Good Days Are Gone Never Again", after affirming Yu Qiuyu's "Cultural Journey", Wang Yongbiao criticized "The Frost-Cold River" as merely showing a Chinese character. The publication of "Frost" not only heralds the end of Yu Qiuyu's "cultural prose", but also, more importantly, ruthlessly strips away Yu Qiuyu's culture. The failure of reflection announced the actual decline of the "sound cultural personality" that Yu Qiuyu admired. The reason is that Yu Qiuyu in the post-cultural era wrote every column and attended every party... and fell into a kind of "talking and reasoning". Writing mode.
Abusive and offensive type
Among these types of comments, articles by Wang Qiang, Zhou Zexiong, Zhu Dake, Huang Min and others are the most typical.
Wang Qiang criticized Yu Qiuyu in "The Sorrow of Culture: Yu Qiuyu's Knowledge and Articles": 1. Yu Qiuyu's knowledge gave up the innovation of ideas and focused on playing with gorgeous rhetoric, only using exaggerated language to explain what people think. ***Common sense; 2. In "Cultural Journey", Yu Qiuyu gave up the basic academic rationality and turned himself into an emotional creature; 3. Yu Qiuyu ran counter to the trend of normal academic development. His prose, From content to form, it is a mockery of modern academics and a regression of academic culture; 4. "Cultural Journey" is a product of the combination of sentimentalism and pseudo-romanticism that have been spurned by people. Mr. Wang’s general comment is: The popularity of prose such as Yu Qiuyu is a symbol of the decline of Chinese culture and is worth pondering.
Zhou Zexiong said in "The Coolest Writer": "There are so many writers in China who are willing to praise themselves. To be fair, who can be as sophisticated, calm, confident and unrestrained as Yu Qiuyu? You Miao's intention is implicit Under the majestic sleeves of cultural robes, a slight lift can attract people far away. , the poetic meaning is so rich in words, but in reality it is a completely melancholy scenery, not to mention that he also blows up a gust of autumn wind. "Then he expresses his love for his wife in "Swing Set" to Yu Qiuyu. He criticized Yu Qiuyu for saying that his wife Ma Lan was "the most beautiful woman in Asia" and used Voltaire's words as an argument: "What is beauty? Ask a male toad and he will answer: "Female toad" Yes. ''"
In the article "Wandering the Literary World with Cultural Lipstick", Zhu Dake attributed the popularity of Yu Qiuyu's prose to: history uses literature to obtain a beautiful appearance, while literature uses history to obtain a spirit. depth. For one thing, the discourse strategy of sensationalism and the dual discourse function of soothing the souls of the masses on the one hand, and the "personality" and "conscience" of traditional intellectuals on the other are extremely pleasing. This is the second one. In the article, Zhu Dake also pointed out the kitsch of Yu Qiuyu's prose. The evidence is that there are three items in a prostitute's handbag: lipstick, condoms and "Cultural Journey". His theoretical statement is: "What the world needs is no longer elites who create ideas, but hunting dogs that track public interests and ideas." In addition, Zhu Wenzhong also made a very important point regarding the national complex expressed in Yu Wen's "Taoist Tower": Without the risk-of-life rescue of foreigners such as Stein, these scriptures, manuscripts, paintings and Tang Dynasty The sculpture capital will cease to exist as long as Dunhuang art is preserved, no matter which country (nation) it belongs to.
In the article ""Cultural Journey" "Seven Qi"", Huang Min summarized Yu Qiuyu's "Cultural Journey" into seven "flavors". "Domineering" (shown as domineering style of writing and domineering attitude); "Businessman Qi" (shown as advertising everywhere and selling oneself); "Little Confucianism" (shown as dropping book bags and shaking the bottom of the box); "Eight-legged Qi" (showing that "Childish spirit" (shown as incompetence in logic and language); "Obscene spirit" (shown as obscene plot and obscene language); "Business spirit" (shown as talkative, mean and kitsch) ).
Evaluation and discussion type
Among this type of comments, articles by Gu Shu, Gao Hengwen, Zhang Bocun, Li Yongyin and others are the most typical.
Gu Shu’s comments on Yu Qiuyu’s prose, according to the information I collected, *** has written three articles, they are “Too Random Interpretation of History – My Reading of Two Essays by Yu Qiuyu” ", "Talk about Qiu Yu calmly" and "Get out of the critical misunderstanding of affirming or denying everything - Let's talk about the advantages and disadvantages of Yu Qiuyu's prose again".
The grandeur and vigor of Qiu Yu's prose, such as "deserted oil clouds and few long winds", come from the depth and persistence of the author's connotation. This undoubtedly provides some excellent works to the contemporary literary world. I am proud of Yu Qiuyu.
Secondly. In the post-"Mountain Residence Notes" era, Yu Qiuyu, due to various social activities, has fewer and fewer fine works, but more and more shoddy texts. Li Xinwu said in the article "The End of My Talent": "In short, "Cultural Journey" talks about mountains and rivers, "Notes on Mountain Dwelling" talks about history and lessons, and "Frost Cold River" talks about vulgar people and people. Human vulgarity. "Although this statement is unfair, it also has a certain truth. Throughout the book "Frost Cold River", except for a few articles in the second volume, the other articles are really not flattering. There are no more additions, deletions, or embellishments in the article, let alone the thought of painstaking efforts; the writing has lost the emotional frustrations and ups and downs of the years, and there is no humanistic care and sense of worry between the lines. To put it more seriously, Yu Qiuyu has gone to the opposite side of himself. The later "Millennium Diary" and "Millennium Sigh" are not worth reading, they are just some travel experiences. Wrapping one's waist for "Meeting on Tuesday" makes people suspicious; writing the preface to Xu Qing's collection makes people feel bored. I feel sorry for Yu Qiuyu.
Finally. I believe that Mr. Yu Qiuyu will definitely realize his own shortcomings and shortcomings in the new century, seriously reflect on himself, and return to himself in the "Cultural Journey" era. After all, Mr. Yu Qiuyu is a conscientious and humanitarian scholar and writer. In today's world of moral decline, human depravity, and the spread of drugs, he will definitely fight for the return of human nature and for the people who have lost themselves to find their spiritual home. When we go out and call for help, we will definitely work hard to rebuild the civilized order of society and make the world where we live full of love. At the same time, I deeply believe that Mr. Yu Qiuyu, like many other anthropologists and sociologists, can do it (even just a little bit) because he has enough talent and knowledge. Maybe my requirements are too high, but I still have to look forward to Yu Qiuyu.

In the article, Yu Qiuyu describes the beauty of the sand mountain in this way: "Light and shadow are separated by the smoothest lines. The golden color and dark ocher are pure and unmoved, as if they have been sifted through a huge sieve."
The winds of day and night shape the ridges and hillsides into waves, which are extremely graceful and smooth waves without a trace of ripples..." In the writings of estheticians and writers, "light", "shadow" and "lines" are different.

Marriage:
Falling in love with Yu Qiuyu through reading
Ma Lan and Yu Qiuyu got acquainted from Yu Qiuyu’s famous book "Art Creation Project". In 1989, with the TV series "Yan Fengying", Ma Lan achieved great success in art and became the most famous Huangmei Opera actor in China. At that time, although Yu Qiuyu was already the president of the Shanghai Theater Academy, he was not known among the people. But she was far less famous than Malan. Once, one of Malan's teachers lent her a copy of "Art Creation Project". After reading the book, Malan was deeply attracted and impressed by the author's wisdom and knowledge. : “I thought at the time that the author of this book must be an experienced, white-haired old gentleman, maybe even a little academic. If there is a chance, I would really like to meet this old Mr. Yu Qiuyu. "
Marriage has been planted in the previous life
Not long ago, Ma Lan went to Shanghai to perform "A Point to the Apricot Blossom Village". She took the liberty to write a letter to Yu Qiuyu, saying in the letter that she hoped he would come Watching a play. The performance of "A Point to the Apricot Blossom Village" was a success. When the curtain came down, Ma Lan looked around, expecting Yu Qiuyu to appear. At this time, a 40-year-old middle-aged man walked onto the stage with his neck crooked and jumped up. Malan, still shouting: "Hey, Malan, I am Yu Qiuyu! "It turns out that Yu Qiuyu has also admired Ma Lan for a long time! Both of them felt that "the marriage had already been planted in the previous life, and the seeds of love were sown at the first meeting!" ”
The proposal method is simple and straightforward
The love between a drama actor and a drama researcher is of course just like drama. Ma Lan said that after meeting Yu Qiuyu, she was deeply attracted by Yu Qiuyu’s knowledge. , wisdom, humor, Yu Qiuyu's attitude towards life and personality charm were deeply moved. What's more terrible is that Ma Lan even felt, "The feeling of Yu Qiuyu and I being together is very wonderful. He and I feel like we were married in the previous life. What we have to do in this life is to fulfill the agreement made in the previous life. "One day, Yu Qiuyu suddenly said to Ma Lan: "I think it would be great for you to be my wife. Malan immediately replied: "I think it would be good for you to be my husband." "This was considered a proposal, and soon Yu Qiuyu and Ma Lan got married.
"Old Husband and Young Wife" Le Rongrong
Yu Qiuyu is 16 years older than Malan, "Old Husband and Young Wife" style The marriage has attracted many people's rumors, but Ma Lan said: "Actually, we are about the same mental age. Sometimes Yu Qiuyu is more like a child. For example, when walking, he always doesn't walk well. Sometimes he will suddenly come around in front of me and make exaggerated movements, which scares me! "On weekdays, at home, the two eldest children often call each other "Teacher Yu" and "Teacher Ma" to compliment each other. Yu Qiuyu said to Malan: "Wife, I like your play", and Ma Lan said: "Husband, I Love your book.
The couple often travels for business, and when they return home, their home is always dirty. Yu Qiuyu often "orders" Ma Lan to clean it up, and says, "I only have one hour of patience!" "But an hour later, Yu Qiuyu, who was "aggressive" just now, became discouraged and kept saying like a child, "In this world, dirty spots are inevitable!" "When he came back from a business trip, he would always wash and iron the dirty clothes in the hotel and bring them back cleanly. When he saw Ma Lan, he would quickly "take credit" and say, "I love my wife!" ”
“He will not harm anyone”
In the past two years, there has been more criticism of Yu Qiuyu. Some exposed historical issues that he refused to admit, and some accused him Ma Lan was very sad and angry about the criticisms in her work, because she believed that Yu Qiuyu was an extremely kind person. Even if you beat him to death, he won't harm anyone. "In 2000, Yu Qiuyu went to the Middle East with Phoenix TV to do a program called "Millennium Journey", which lasted for several months. At the beginning, Ma Lan accompanied Yu Qiuyu. Later, due to the unstable local situation, he went to Jordan Petra, Malan had to return to China. Recalling the situation at that time, Malan said: "When we broke up, many people in the car were crying, including many tall men. But I didn't cry. But when the car was driving, in the dust raised, I saw Yu Qiuyu holding his hand on the car window, leaving a deep fingerprint on the car window. I suddenly thought: If this face can come back to me alive in this life, my life will not be in vain! "Jinling Evening News reporter Yu Feng
