Brother Xingwen is very happy about my arrival. Drinking tea, talking about Taoism and realizing Zen are indispensable ... Cultural people get together and talk, and rivers and lakes forget each other, starting with the seven sages of the bamboo forest. Talking about sex, he suddenly asked me, "Will the President adjust?"
I was confused about this, so I waited for a while, and I gave a direct answer: yes. For people who have planted grasslands, a long tune is as indispensable as talking and drinking milk tea.
"Well, you can sing a few tunes to improve your interest."
Singing at will in public makes me a little uncomfortable. Because the original ecological tune is not suitable for performance. It is a deep dialogue between grassland herders and heaven and earth when they are wandering, nomadic and lonely ... so we know that a long tune may or may not have lyrics.
In the expectation of my friends, I stood up slowly, put my left hand on my chest involuntarily, closed my eyes, and started my spiritual journey in the grassland pasture: the long tune of desolation, remoteness and wildness slowly flowed out of my chest.
This is an original ecological expression, and there is no chanting of the nature of stage performance. Perhaps Shi Xiong and his friends can feel and touch it, or perhaps it belongs to another cultural form and cannot be known. Unexpectedly, Mr. Xing Wen, brother Shi, stood up slowly, picked up the teacup, and shouted on his back at the famous section "Lower Hedong" of Shaanxi Opera. A powerful, high-spirited, world-shaking weight rushed to my crown.
This may be another dialogue between cultural people.
Not only I was affected, but Xiao Zhang was also deeply inspired and infected. I was also very excited at that time. The female boss, who has always been low-key, silent and calm, wants to take a photo with Shi Xiong, an old handsome guy. It seems that since ancient times, "beauty loves heroes, and talents accompany beauty" for a reason. Unfortunately, everyone didn't bring a camera, so Xiao Changcan only left a little regret.
Xiao Zhang is a beautiful young woman. With her beautiful image and youthful mood, she can tie a rich man to live a leisurely and prosperous life. But she didn't do that, and lived a bitter life with self-esteem: working for others, selling clothes, and working as a small foreman on a construction site. Even, I worked as a hotel cleaner and a driving school sparring partner ... Now, I finally have my own company.
Brother Shi, with the satisfaction of singing, led us to appreciate his mansion. It can be said that his elegant room layout is simple to the point of meanness. The whole home decoration is in Ming and Qing styles. Entering the hall is a screen-type wooden door with extra-large blue bricks on the ground. There is a large bookcase in the middle, which is about two meters wide and five meters long. It is said that it was customized in Beijing. There are two rows of wooden cabinets on the north and south walls, and the books inside are raised to a height of two meters and four meters.
There is no such thing as sofa in the living room as a symbol of modern cultural elements. Opposite the hall is a long table with six chairs. For friends to get together.
At the door are two doorstones carved with lions, which suddenly pull my feelings back to the original ecological country farm. He said that's what he wanted. He also said: His best enjoyment is that he can squat on the threshold and "eat noodles" (Shaanxi dialect: eat noodles), presenting a vivid and simple image of farm Tian Han to everyone.
He just moved in, and there is no heating in the community. It's so cold in the room that Xiao Zhang's lips are purple and shivering. She wears a fashionable leather trench coat just for beauty. A little beautiful, a little cold. I was so cold that I couldn't sit still, and I kept wrapping my cotton-padded coat tightly.
Brother Shi insisted that it was not cold. He even said, "Why did you forget? When I was a child, didn't that country doll wear a cotton-padded jacket naked in winter? "
"Yes, is it? ! "I don't just wear a cotton-padded jacket and have a brilliant resume. And the proud time of standing in the snow and washing cold water on winter nights. But today's luxurious food has made us so fragile? There are not only feelings in my heart, but also guilt and helplessness. There is also endless attachment to faded homesickness.
Brother Shi's accomplishments in calligraphy art are extremely high, and he also has a place in the national calligraphy circle. He is a man who won the National Calligraphy Award. He has won the first and second prizes for calligraphy creation for more than ten times and stood out. His creation is inseparable from the rich soil of Sanqin: dignified, heroic, deep, simple, atmospheric and heroic ... Like the Terracotta Warriors, I have looked forward to it for many years.
With Shi Xiong, the topic can't escape calligraphy, culture and inheritance.
To tell the truth, I don't understand Shaanxi opera. But I actually like the song "Huayin Old Tune" very much. I can vent, pour out and sing loudly with those straightforward men, and I burst into tears for it. I only think that only these cultural foods can nourish our weak roots and make us strong, vigorous and high-spirited ...
Brother Shi said: "Laoqiang is well-known in the cultural circle."
Yes, it shows that these are our innate cultural genetic codes, which are closely related to our emotions and can be sung together. The year before last, at the National Young Singers' Grand Prix, a group named Sa Ye Er sang "Badong Masonry Song". The high-pitched, masculine and heroic melody reaches my forehead: a person is lying quietly on the sofa. With the development of the song, a salty liquid flows out of his eyes and climbs down my cheek unscrupulously.
This is a song. Shout it out.
Guys, lift the stone.
Push the waist up
Where should I step on the pedal?
turning
Follow me.
Turn the word "z"
Go smoothly.
There is a ditch.
I left without saying hello.
There is an obstacle.
Save slowly
Sang Mu, thick stick.
Both ends. Hey hey hey.
Willow leaves are red.
Willow leaves are yellow.
Hey, girl, don't laugh hey
I put stones.
Make a sedan chair
Willow leaf red
Willow yellow
My little Jiao Jiao. Hello?
It takes seven steps to climb the mountain (the shoulders are worn out)
It takes eight steps to go downhill (kicking the hips)
Carry it to the deep valley
Jiao Jiao dropped his sedan chair.
There is no way ahead.
Just pry it with a barbell.
Put it down and pry it up.
Guys.
Where is the waist pole?
cut/make/throw/turn somersaults
Lever down the mountain
Ah ~ ho, hi.
There is no doubt that this song has opened the floodgates of my memory. About 30 years ago, we left the Ordos grassland where my life was born with my father's family, and drifted like a shepherd's transition all the way to the Guanzhong Plain in Sanqin, where we spent our youth, youth and middle age. It should be said that today we have integrated into the life world of Qin people.
My father may have been used to wandering for a long time. He was born in the era of warlord melee, and grew up in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, the War of Liberation and the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea. Even in those days, he was one of the brave volunteers who crossed the Yalu River. What puzzles future generations is that my father spent that heroic and tragic moment in the famous Shangganling battle at home and abroad. It can be said that this is a miracle of life, and it can only be said that this is the result of eternal life. My mother was not so lucky. She survived the hard times of the war and the famine in the 1960s, but she stumbled back to Buddhism on the eve of reform and opening up.
At the critical moment of life growth, only those who have lost their mothers can feel the pain of losing their mothers. That year, I was still talking about the preparation period of marriage. My brothers and sisters are still studying. The saddest thing is that my sister has just entered primary school. As the eldest son, I forgot to ask my mother and sister when their birthday was.
Without suffering, you can't understand what this means: the hardships and helplessness of life. My family has experienced hardships, but my family is not the only one who has experienced such hardships. Isn't this how our nation has come through hardships again and again? It has only been 60 years since the suffering working people established the Republic of China, and only 30 years since the reform and opening up. Unexpectedly, it has quietly squeezed into the ranks of developed countries in the world. Its economic scale has surpassed that of Europe's established developed countries: Britain, Germany, France and Japan, the second largest economy in the world, and it has begun to compete with the world leader America in many fields, such as science and technology, culture, economy and military affairs. How inspiring, inspiring and proud is this?
However, after the passion faded, I was deeply worried: Have we lost too much traditional precious heritage? What on earth is this achievement based on? Did you overdraw a lot of China people's heritage to achieve this achievement?
What did Brother Shi say when he turned a residential house into a nostalgic country farm? Isn't this another kind of worry? Traditional culture is quietly, constantly and gradually leaving us.
Inheritance and development is a big problem, which is in front of each of us. Not long ago, the bronze statues of Confucius and Zhong Ni were made in the sensitive position of Tiananmen Square, which at least shows that the ruling authorities also regard the "inheritance and development" of culture as a major event.
The Chinese nation is a precocious nation, and human beings are still in the period of ignorance, while other civilizations are still groping in the wilderness: they have exhausted their minds and only created a spiritual world of "harmony between man and nature". At the beginning of China's ancient civilization in the East, it was known that it respected nature and reached the highest state of "harmony between man and nature". That is to say, people in ancient China have long understood the truth of "respecting nature and living in harmony", while western civilization has gone through thousands of years and truly understood the deep meaning of the philosophical thought of "harmony between man and nature" when it entered the modern civilized world.
Confucius and Zhong Ni made great contributions to the development of China civilization. This is a mountain where future generations will stop. He is an ideological peak that future generations will not easily cross. However, in the evolution of Chinese civilization, there is more than one such mountain. Fuxi and Laozi's philosophical thinking level is much higher than his. Not to mention Zhou Wenwang and Sun Wu. ...
At this time, the cultural circle carried out a bronze statue of Confucius and the sage of Zhong Ni, which was somewhat nondescript, making people feel deeply that the field of cultural thought was like a woman with little feet, and had gradually drifted away from the rapidly developing modern society and stopped. Obviously, this is incompatible with the development of this dynamic era.
The laziness of cultural and ideological circles has made Kong Laoer very untimely at this moment, which makes people feel helpless and sad in the evolution of the times. In today's view, if Mr. Kong Er's thought is the same as the foot-binding cloth of a woman with little feet, it has already been dusted in the garbage dump of history ... and the topic is still: inheritance and development. Should we pay attention to inheritance or development in dealing with tradition? What is the purpose of inheritance? What is the purpose of development?
It is understandable that Li Yu, the emperor of Ci, appreciated the foot-binding of his embarrassed mother. But later, with the help of intangible culture, it became a kind of social fashion, which made many women suffer from that kind of disability, also called: formal beauty of fashion. Since then, the bad habit of foot-binding has doggedly troubled the people of China for thousands of years. The veil on the heads of women of all ethnic groups in Central and Western Asia still persists. Does this explain the social problems again?
Pass what? Let the descendants of the Chinese nation who entered modern civilization today fall into a daze: what is the development symbol of social civilization and progress?
Not long ago, my brother clamored to erect a monument to our parents and continue the genealogy. This is a great event handed down from the family, and of course I fully support it. But after I delved into it, I couldn't figure out the ins and outs of the five generations of my family. I'm surprised: people all know that in Kazak, anyone can easily name their seven ancestors. Han people claim to have a long history and culture, but most people can't keep up with the names of their ancestors in the five generations. Have we lost too much? Is this a serious problem?
While I was thinking, another guest came to the door. That Shi Ge family is really a wedding. Friends will visit again as usual. He still wears a simple and modest smile and occasionally says, "Very simple, very simple ..." Yes, it looks simple: the plan of the oversized old elm tree placed in the living room is specially made in Beijing; Next to the book case is a mahogany table and six chairs; There are some dark cabinets on the north and south walls, which are said to be black mahogany. ...
In the admiration of his friends, he still said, "It's very simple."
I smiled and stabbed him: "The friends who come here are all masters of goods ..."
Shi Xiong has made great achievements in calligraphy. Annotate in the most popular words: This is a master who can copy the works of Wang Xizhi, Zhong Shaojing, Liu Gongquan, Mi Fei, Huang Tingjian, Wang Duo, Lin Sanzhi and many other sages. This shows that his calligraphy skills are deep. How can ten years of painstaking efforts reach this level?
Brother Shi is a person who strives for change in calligraphy creation. However, no matter how he changed, I can still see traces of his artistic expression or style from Linlin's various changes. This shows that he handled the dialectical relationship between inheritance and development well. Undoubtedly, he found his own way of expression or formed his own artistic style in his own art palace.
I sang alatan Qiqige's long classic "Golden Mountain" from the bottom of my heart. Yes, Mr. Shi Xiong Xingwen treats calligraphy as a saint treats religion, and that piety can't be described in words. Indeed: for perspective art, language expression sometimes seems very pale, boring and helpless.
At the moment, Brother Shi is singing the classic tune "Golden Beach" of Shaanxi Opera for visiting high school friends ... We applaud: "Authentic spicy flavor, strong enough!"
"Hey, the northwest can breed a big Qin opera." Brother Shi replied casually.
Yes, the earth behind heaven nourishes our soul and spirit. Like many Xiao Zhang, he stubbornly sticks to his emotional world, which is also the spiritual home we should stick to.
It's past seven in the evening, and everyone's stomach is angry. Brother Shi invited us to eat Shaanxi dialect noodles and authentic Qishan noodles. I found an authentic noodle restaurant full of Qin flavor and sat down one by one. Xiao He, a Fuping man who came back from Shanghai, took out his business cards and handed them to everyone one by one. He learned from the chat that his career has entered an expansion stage. Xiao Zhang has just accepted a project of more than 3 million yuan. It seems that everyone has gained something in their career.
Today, when the train of the times enters the fast lane, is the progress of culture and the times drifting away? Lagging behind social development? However, when we see the persistence of many cultural elites such as Brother Shi, we are somewhat gratified. As long as the sky and thick soil in Huang Chengcheng are still there, there will be men working in the fields, and the village of childhood is not just a dream.
