I like reading prose, and I like beautiful sentences and delicate emotions in prose, such as a trickle, which makes people feel comfortable naturally.
Reading a few essays before going to bed every night can make people forget the complexity and triviality of life, make impetuous hearts instantly return to calm and sleep peacefully.
There are often essays by Wang Zengqi and Lin Qingxuan on my bedside table. Although I have read it many times, I have different feelings and moods every time I read it.
Wang Zengqi's prose is very plain, everything seems very casual, the characterization is very relaxed, and there is no impetuous structure, as if an intelligent old man was chatting with others.
Lin Qingxuan's prose is warm, with fresh and meaningful words, which is thought-provoking, simple and fresh language style, smart and far-reaching, with poetic beauty.
Recently, I began to collect Chen Yingsong's prose collection "Towards Flowers". From this book, I saw the beauty of another kind of prose.
Chen Yingsong's writing is warm, brave, decent and clean, with strong impact. After reading one of his articles, I always have a hearty feeling.
Between his lines, a shocking picture can naturally flow out. He created a real, emotional and textured world for us with full emotions and highly personalized language.
Chen Yingsong graduated from Chinese Department of Wuhan University. Former Vice Chairman of Hubei Writers Association, Dean of College of Literature, first-class writer. Published more than 100 novels, essays and poems. The novel has won the Lu Xun Literature Award, the Chinese Fiction Society Award, the monthly novel, the novella selection, the national environmental literature award, the Shanghai novella award and so on.
The overall feeling of his prose is boundless vigor and warmth. No matter how noisy the world is, he presents us with a warm, true, passionate and kind colorful world.
Blooming towards a Flower is a masterpiece of Chen Yingsong's philosophy. It walks through nature, keeps company with flowers, birds, fish and insects, hears the smoke coming from the kitchen, and walks into its inner world step by step.
Most of the animals, plants and figures in his works are from the countryside. We all know many pictures, but he shows us a realistic and passionate world from a unique perspective.
We can travel freely with him, get rid of the crowded cherry blossoms, wander in the field of "rape blossoms" and feel the beautiful and pleasant picture: "I was pushed by excitement and hints on a spring day and strayed into a building that was almost crowded and invisible. I was driven out by bees. There is such a grand flower tide on both sides of the strait that it is almost necessary to take me away and swallow me. "
We can hear him joking humorously in the beautiful March: "flowers, flowers, flowers!" " In spring, if you don't come again, I'll make you cry rhythmically! This kind of shouting and tug-of-war is pushed around by everyone, hating iron and not turning into steel, and spring comes with March. "
We can watch the performance of animals in winter with him: "A magpie pecks insects in a rape field. The dogs in the village cheered in the sun, while the chickens hid in the lee of the haystack in the sun, squatting timidly and holding their nests. The rooster couldn't bear the loneliness, and suddenly became irritable, running around in the sun, giggling, and looking heartless. The dog looked at the chicken's performance coldly. "
We can feel the shock of the snowy night with him: "On the endless Jianghan Plain, the snow is dense and even, pouring like a waterfall, just like a person crying silently, just like a dead parent, just like a grievance all over the sky, just like a scene in thousands of myths. Unscrupulous, thousands of troops and horses, rushing down. "
We can follow him to taste the Tujia bowl-throwing wine that people love and hate, and watch the handsome bowl-throwing person with him: "After drinking the wine, after dawn, pick the bowl with three fingers and throw it back gently from the top of your head. A graceful arc, the bowl falls freely, naturally disintegrates and falls apart. That kind of beauty, that kind of posture, is simply one school. "
We can enjoy the beautiful summer of "Nine Lakes" with him: "Yellow Inula, red clover and Artemisia Jiangnan with red flowers and white flowers greet us. Rhamnus rhamnoides and Tang Di were swaying in the shallow swamp on the distant grass. There is also a solitary grass with small yellow flowers, which shakes alone when there is no wind and enjoys itself. Groups of pigs and cows are swimming there, and local bluebirds are running around in the grass. "
......
We can follow him through the boiling of autumn red leaves, immerse ourselves in the foggy sea of clouds, swim in the ancient time museum and infect the integrity of the ancients.
We can follow him to realize that as long as there is a moment of peace, longing for home and silent call for home, it will gush out from the depths of the soul, like a gust of wind, like a touch of spring, soothing the anxious and scarred heart.
There are many beautiful scenery, many shocking scenes and many life wisdom that we have never experienced in Blooming towards a Flower.
There is such a passage in the book: "A good book is a book in which readers participate. When reading, you should think, travel and grow with the words in the book, and go to that The Secret Behind. At the same time, we can find moral courage, find a reason to live and find the light of life in the book. "
On the afternoon of winter weekend, indoor heating began. I snuggled up in the rocking chair in the study and read Towards Flowers. I stepped barefoot on the floor that had begun to get hot. I cooked my favorite black tea on the desk next to me, and smelled the strong tea fragrance. I haven't left a step. I can travel all over the country, enjoy the great rivers and mountains of the motherland and feel the beauty and magic of nature.
Life can't walk alone, but writing has achieved such a miracle. Reading paper books not only enriches our thoughts, but also broadens our horizons.
However, now is a highly information-based era. Many people like to read fast food on their mobile phones. But after reading, how much will we leave in our minds and how long will it last?
When reading a paper book, we can make a mark, write down one or two reading notes, or fold a good chapter. When I read it again in the future, I will remember my original thoughts and growth, and I will feel different when I read it again.
Words are the expression of our inner joy, and spiritual habitation is the reason for us to spend our time.
From Towards a Blooming Flower, I read the author's profound life and emotional depth, and felt the simplicity of the people and the changes of human feelings.
We can occasionally jump out of the complicated life, find a secluded place, read a good book, have a beautiful text dialogue, let our soul return to nature, learn to wait for flowers in the noise, and see the soul in the ordinary.
