In classical Chinese, I saw the back of Tao Yuanming's "picking chrysanthemums under the hedge and seeing Nanshan leisurely". I didn't go along with the secular, but kept my inner peace and yearned for a paradise where I enjoyed myself, which made people's hearts fade again and again and indulged in "the fairy capital of desire". Ancient literati also left many beautiful scenery in their pen and ink. Li Daoyuan's "Three Gorges" and Tao Hongjing's "Thank China Book" truly reproduce those thrilling beauty for us. Clear water and clear pools, towering mountains, all seemingly beautiful beyond words, but really printed on white paper. Classical Chinese is a picture with words, and all the pictures are also displayed in words. Complement each other, so that the original dull heart is immediately set off by a sentence of "painting with words."
However, no matter how exquisite the language of classical Chinese is and how profound the artistic conception is, it still makes people feel difficult to learn.
Perhaps in order to accumulate, almost every article in the textbook has to be memorized. After all, the writing rules and usage of classical Chinese are different from those of vernacular Chinese, and sometimes it is very difficult to read, let alone recite. One more thing, although there is a saying of "essence and concentration", there are too many things to be expressed in "short and pithy" classical Chinese. After reading it several times, I still don't know whether it is lyrical, depicting scenery or belittling the times.
Whether it is beautiful or difficult, it is also interesting. Sometimes I see a word "zhi" here, which means "something", but it doesn't make sense in another place, so I immediately think of another explanation. After repeated several times, I realized several laws. Sometimes I can read a classical Chinese by myself, alas! Very interesting. The thinking of prose focuses on appreciating emotion; Try to figure out the novel from the details; The interpretation of drama focuses on contradiction analysis; The thinking of poetry focuses on artistic conception. Although the ideological connotation of classical Chinese is difficult to understand, you can find the beauty of the text with a little inspiration, and you will also sigh: the beauty of ancient Chinese and the elegance of ancient rhyme are beyond your reach. There are also many anecdotes about pastoral interests. As long as you use three or five strokes, you can vividly draw a colorful historical picture, either humorous, profound, simple or bold. In short, classical Chinese can make people gather more in the nursery of words, and sometimes even linger.
Classical Chinese, "Let me rejoice and let me worry". When I study classical Chinese, I feel much more pleasure than confusion. Five thousand years of splendid culture is embodied in these words, which are meaningful and often make people feel deeply.
