Some Views on My Humble Room Ming

This inscription, which is less than 100 words, implicitly shows the author's elegant taste and independent personality. It reveals a truth to people: although the living room is simple and short of material, as long as the owner of the living room is virtuous and full of life, the room will be full of fragrance, elegant and domineering everywhere, and he has a magical spiritual power beyond material. Some people think that when Liu Yuxi wrote this article, he was in the late stage of relegation, his mood was relatively stable, and he pursued a peaceful and quiet life. At the same time, there are Buddhist scriptures in the text, so the inscription reveals a negative component of avoiding the world and relaxing. This should be analyzed from two aspects: when the society is in a dark period, the literati have two ways out. One is to go along with the decadent forces and indulge themselves. One is to take a step back, as Mencius said, "If you are poor, you will be immune to it" and maintain your integrity and independent personality. In contrast, the latter is more worthy of recognition, and Liu Yuxi chose this road. At the same time, people's life is complicated, with tension and relaxation. We can't sell ourselves short, but sometimes we have to rest and entertain. Therefore, we cannot simply criticize leisure. On the other hand, the inscription also reflects the author's grand ambition. His quotation of Zhugelu and Zi Ting Yun has its special meaning. Zhuge Liang is a politician and Yang Xiong is a writer. These are also the two great ideals of the author's life. In his early years, he was bold and innovative and ambitious. After relegation, he set foot in the literary world and finally became famous as a writer. So there is also a positive and enterprising spirit in the article. In writing, this article is characterized by clever use of metaphor to express the theme implicitly. The first four sentences are both vivid and auspicious. It is said that mountains and rivers lead to humble rooms, immortals lead to virtue and fragrance, and famous spirits imply that humble rooms are not humble. Comparing My Humble Room with Zhuge Lu and Zi Ting Yun, it expresses the author's two political ideals and literary ideals. Finally, quoting Confucius' words implies the profound meaning of "gentlemen live in it". Secondly, parallelism and antithesis are widely used. Parallelism can create a majestic literary trend, such as the parallelism of the first few sentences, which makes the whole article smooth and establishes the pattern of parallelism style. The antithetical sentences are prone to ups and downs in content, such as the six antithetical sentences in the middle, which are descriptive and narrative, concise and rich in meaning and strong in rhythm. The article also uses rhetorical devices such as substitution and introduction. In a word, this is a masterpiece with high ideological and artistic quality, so it can be read forever and be widely read.
