I have the habit of going to the online bookstore for a few days. When I see a book I like, I will accept it without hesitation. The book I bought recently is called Meiyuan News. Intuitively, this is a book about writing and appreciating poems. A book about poetry needs a poetic title. Yang Shou, a poet in the Song Dynasty, said, "There is news from Bian Mei." Please bring me a piece. Very wonderful.
In recent years, it is fashionable to write articles about Tang poetry and Song poetry, and the books I have seen are dazzling, not to mention countless. But these books are often a collection of jade and jade, and there are not many that can really enter the eye. Pan's Plum Blossom Newspaper has a unique style, which makes people fondle it.
The loveliness of "Bian Mei News" lies in its own research, understanding and thinking. An impressive article is about "Why Lin Daiyu doesn't like Li Shangyin". People who are familiar with A Dream of Red Mansions and Li Shangyin generally know that Lin Daiyu and Li Shangyin have similarities in life experience, temperament, talent and experience. Li Shangyin's poems are beautiful, wonderful and affectionate, and should be loved by "young women writers and artists" like Lin Daiyu. However, Li Shangyin, who is ill-fated and brilliant, is proud but gives them away. However, in A Dream of Red Mansions, Daiyu said more than once that she "dislikes Li Yishan's poems the least". This is certainly not a tantrum or a pretense of being amazing. So, what is the problem? According to Pan's textual research, this is because Cao Xueqin himself doesn't like Li Shangyin, so he expresses his views through the mouth of the protagonist. Dai Yu is Cao Xueqin's favorite figure, and she has the best artistic appreciation ability and the deepest poetic attainments in the Grand View Garden, so she did not hesitate to leave a "failure" and poured a brick in her chest through Dai Yu's mouth. Because Cao Xueqin believes in nature and Li's poems are exquisite and complicated, Cao Xueqin thinks that conception is more important than rhetoric, while Li attaches great importance to "word modification" There are always five or six reasons. Although it is a statement, it is well founded.
Pan Lixiang's confidence comes from her accumulated hair. She is not only a writer who won the Lu Xun Literature Award and Bing Xin Prose Award, but also a doctor of literature. I first read her novel "White Water Dishes", which tells a story of "there is no balance between temptation and desire". So far, I still think this is the best novel about marriage and family between men and women, Fortress Besieged. Just a few thousand words, but the artistic conception is infinite, and the Tao has done all the vicissitudes of life. Being a writer depends partly on talent and partly on accumulation. The origin of her poetry is closely related to her family and her father. Pan's father, Mr. Pan, is a famous critic, essayist and professor at Fudan University. Good family education and father's influence made Pan have an indissoluble bond with literature and poetry. Bian Mei News starts with an article "Reading Ancient Poems with Father". In this preface, Pan combed the process of her contact, love and study of ancient poems, and also wrote the process of her growth and maturity.
Of course, if you just read books in ancient paper, you can't escape the smell of an old pedant. What makes Pan Kejing respect is that she can get in and out, and she has a strong sense of substitution. As the famous writer Bi Feiyu commented, "Poetry accompanies Xiang Li's basic life, especially his childhood and adolescence. When she really became a' person', she and poetry were already embedded in each other. " Therefore, her articles are more pyrotechnic and life-like. The articles included in Bian Mei News all cut into poetry from the aspects of travel, shops, drinking, drinking tea and meeting guests, and integrated classical poetry into daily life. The writing is beautiful and poetic, but the language is simple and sincere, which can be described in one word, that is, "salt is like water". Such books are beautiful and durable.
