The Writing Background of Zhu Ziqing's Spring

Zhu Ziqing's short prose "Spring" has simple image, distinct theme and beautiful language, which is often interpreted as a "ode to spring". Actually, this is a misunderstanding. Spring, like Zhu Ziqing's numerous lyric prose about scenery, seems crystal clear and clear at a glance, but it is like a glass of wine, which contains a long and clear charm and fragrance. It's not easy to really taste it. In this poetic Ode to Spring, it is actually full of the writer's thoughts and feelings, life pursuit and even personality pursuit in a specific period, which shows the traditional cultural accumulation in the writer's bones and his yearning for the realm of freedom. After 1927, Zhu Ziqing has been searching for and creating an ideal world in the depths of his soul-the world of dreams, which is used to place his "rather restless" boxing heart, resist external interference, make himself "independent" in claustrophobic study, and achieve his academic achievements. Moonlight on the Lotus Pond is undoubtedly a deep and quiet natural environment found after a bitter soul struggle, which embodies his personal integrity of "getting out of the mud without dyeing" in twists and turns; "Wild scenery in early spring" makes his dream world open and vigorous, which highlights his life belief of "going forward bravely" under the guidance of spring. The latter is naturally the continuation, transformation and promotion of the former. But no matter how different these two worlds are, they all stem from an ideal pursuit of Zhu Ziqing, even a utopian fantasy. Spring does describe and eulogize a lush spring, but it is a vivid portrayal of Zhu Ziqing's inner world. After reading Zhu Ziqing's Spring, I can't help but feel that this is a cultural person who has recovered from a serious illness. Facing vilen, who is full of spring, he regained his self-confidence and self-esteem and weaved his ideal dream. This is an intellectual who has experienced "spiritual purgatory". In the warm embrace of nature, he was intoxicated with it, and his poems were full of imagination, and he felt a wonderful realm of "harmony between man and nature" and a spiritual impulse of "being a good person and constantly striving for self-improvement". He retired from the "crossroads" of the times and found his own "shelter" here. I always feel that Zhu Ziqing's "spring scenery" is not the warm and humid spring scenery in his hometown of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, nor the magnificent and abundant spring scenery in the northern suburbs, nor the sketch that the painter faithfully copied, but the artistic picture brewed by the writer under the inspiration and inspiration of nature. There are too many mind codes hidden in this picture. Mr. Wu, an expert on Zhu Ziqing's research, said: "In many essays, Zhu Ziqing's management of poetic artistic conception is bleak, integrating the' emotion' of personality beauty with the' scenery' of natural beauty, creating an artistic realm in which emotion, scenery and scenery blend. The conception of this realm expresses self-personality as a whole, and takes wonderful images as the externalization means of personality, so in his works, natural beauty becomes the spiritual mimicry or symbolic portrayal of self-personality; Due to the attachment to natural beauty, individual's specific emotions and thoughts are poetically depicted or vaguely symbolized. How to create this artistic conception and complete the attachment and connection between natural beauty and personality beauty? In this regard, Zhu Ziqing inherited and carried forward the overall aesthetic grasp of the artistic spirit of expressing the spirit with form and focusing on the likeness of spirit. Under the guidance of the aesthetic ideal of' poetry can be complained', he produced a hidden color and a quiet style. " (Wu's "The Integration of the Ideal of Poetry Education and Personality", Literature Review No.3 1993) The profound meaning of Zhu Ziqing's prose, I think these words are profound. Zhu Ziqing belongs to the kind of person who is particularly sensitive to feelings, delicate and sincere, and has a unique affinity and appreciation for the changes of the four seasons, landscapes, flowers and birds, etc. His landscapes are often characterized by "I" in landscapes, "I" in landscapes and "I" in landscapes. Therefore, he should mobilize all his senses, thoughts and emotions, repeatedly taste, carefully choose words, and "use a pen like a tongue." It is precisely by putting all his life and personality into the form and spirit of nature that the beauty of nature and the beauty of his life are integrated. Different from Lu Xun, he took a detached critical attitude when describing nature, and even wrote the ugliness of nature. Unlike Zhou Zuoren, he was obsessed with describing nature and forgot himself, hoping to become a part of it. Zhu Ziqing is devoted and pious in the embrace of nature, but at the same time he is conscious and sober. From this point of view, he is the best in China's traditional culture of "harmony between man and nature" and "golden mean". In the concise prose "Spring", his personal integrity and aesthetic ideal are also reflected.
