As for magpie poems, in the works of Han Wo, Chen Zao, Dai Fugu and Huang Tingjian, ancient magpie poems are full of vitality and festive images. Now a famous poet and essayist, Mr. Li Hanrong, said that "Magpies always treat others" will bring good things. We wait together to express our yearning for a better life.
And this presentation of a better life, especially rural life, Mr. Li Hanrong's new book "There is always a magpie to treat people" shows his poetic prose writing characteristics, highlighting the image of a scholar who returns to the essence of life and breathes with everything in the mountains and rivers.
Needless to say, Mr. Li Hanrong is not only the winner of Hundred Flowers Literature Award and Bingxin Literature Award, but also has nearly 100 essays selected for Chinese textbooks, teaching AIDS and senior high school entrance examination questions. He is one of the models of contemporary prose creation. The reason is naturally that he has his own unique writing style, that is, he has both a keen and lively imagination like a poet and a humanistic portrayal of field objects, which embodies a poetic prose writing style.
This book is an anthology of the author's prose works and consists of four parts. The first part is to describe fresh rural stories from the perspective of animals and plants, myths or fairy tales, the second part is to write rural scenery, the third part is to write rural scenery, and the fourth part is to write stories about rural people.
In the preface, the author explains in more detail why magpies are magpies. The author is good at using children's imagination, which shows that magpies in rural areas are a symbol of peace and are famous for their grand vision and detachment. The first one is about rural animals, and I read it deeply, that is, Sunset on Cow's Back, which naturally reminds me of the experience of riding a cow's back with my cousin when I was a child. More importantly, the author did not rely on our traditional diligence through cattle, but under the author's imagination and pragmatic observation, the virtue of cattle is to pull cow dung everywhere, in order to repay the grasslands everywhere, make them fertile, have more vegetation, bloom more and grow more crops. This prose language is not only another virtue of cattle, but also a glimpse of the author's charming prose language. In addition, cattle have the virtue of selfless dedication, after all, the global beef jerky is it. "The soul of cattle is all over the world and rooted in all people", which tells us that only by learning the beautiful qualities of cattle's diligence, gratitude and selfless dedication can we have a sound and beautiful life.
Besides, in Yuan Ye, we can read that sheep eat grass seriously and rashly, and the author describes all this with vivid figurative language. "The sheep's mouth is thin, always walking in front, choosing tender grass and chewing it carefully, just like the primary school students finish their homework for the first time." In addition, in "Wuquanshan", the mythical story of the spiritual totem of hard struggle, bravery and selfless dedication in rural areas was also written. In Cousin Li Zifa and the Cow, a simple and harmonious relationship between human and animals is reflected by describing that my cousin celebrates the cow's birthday every year, which is recognized by the author.
Besides, I also wrote an article about butterflies in the country. In the article Butterfly, the author praises the butterfly, an insect, for its pursuit of beauty all its life until its death. Here, the author lists the monarchs who died in pursuit of beauty from generation to generation. It is no wonder that the author thinks that butterflies are an aesthetical group, born pure and beautiful when they die. The author also lists people who are as beautiful and flawed as butterflies, such as Wilde, Li He and Lin Daiyu.
In the article "Cockcrow in the City", it shows that the author is critical of excessive materialism, but he does not refuse or complain about the current attitude. This article is about the author's feelings when he heard a chicken crow in the city. "In the commercial castle, he dreamed of pastoral songs." Chicken crow contains a kind of homesickness and a reflection on the future urban development. This is a literati's humanistic philosophy brought by the development of contemporary urban and rural areas, which is worthy of in-depth discussion. In addition, in the article "ode to the pig", we read that the author was very nervous to rehabilitate the dirty and stupid image of the pig. It turns out that pigs love cleanliness, just for human beings, they become sleeping with pig manure, and they can also sacrifice themselves to become human meals. This is also the virtue of pigs. It is also mentioned here that the fairy tale world or the fairy tale world in rural areas should maintain a complete natural life process with pigs. So in the breeding environment, pigs are also one of the family members. What a wonderful rural "Peach Blossom Garden". I like the author's comparison of pigs to lonely rural sages, a great project of agriculture, because pigs will sacrifice themselves and produce chemical fertilizers for the benefit of mankind. In "Roots of the Countryside" and "A Group of Fools Sleeping in Vegetable Fields", it is an article praising rural plants. In the previous article, I wrote that the communication between the two families was a kind and affectionate sustenance because of the roots of vines, which is very symbolic. Later, the author wrote the fairy tale world of various melons and fruits with vivid phenomena and metaphors, which is one of the most poetic works of the author.
I came to the second part and wrote an article about borrowing things to express my feelings. Among them, "Liu Cai Ban" is about the deep father's love and the author's infinite yearning for his father. Generally speaking, when cutting bones, you won't feel sad about the scar on the chopping block. The author with simple human nature, with a child's sympathy, wrote his gratitude to the chopping board. This gratitude is not melodramatic, but shows his father's infinite sympathy and pity for the chopping board through his tears at the confession ceremony, which will naturally affect the author and make him respect everything, even regret and gratitude. This unique humanistic emotion in rural areas is worth learning. The more you use the cutting board, the thinner it will become. There is the author's love and nostalgia for his father's bones in the years, and there is also the compassionate education of his father's confession to the chopping block, which always makes the author a descendant with humanistic feelings.
As far as the author's poetic articles are concerned, we can read the liveliness and brightness of sun-dried grass in Picking Green. For example, "We spread out the cut grass to dry ... a bit like when my father brewed yellow rice wine ..." We are all a little drunk "shows that the author has a childlike whimsy, and the language is delicate, charming and elegant. More wonderfully, he combined his thoughts and feelings with his sensory experience, understanding and thinking. For example, homesickness here can give people fresh and beautiful artistic enjoyment with beautiful words.
In addition, the article "Embroidered Needle: Folk Beauty God" written about mother shows the author's infinite love for her mother through her unique embroidered needle, which has already reflected the unique aesthetic view of rural people themselves. The author takes her mother as an example. Although her mother doesn't understand "Ailien Shuo", people's aesthetics are similar. For example, her mother can embroider lotus leaves with embroidery needles. Of course, there are reading glasses, wooden lattice windows, wooden sticks and so on. It is also a kind of scenery with many local feelings, which is worth reading carefully.
In the third part, I wrote about the rural scenery. Among them, "Lazy Man Ping" is particularly worth mentioning. It not only has the symbolic language of the author's pursuit of rhyming poems, but also writes that it is a rest stop for hardworking villagers, a pillow for taking a nap and a harbor for sailing. This lawn will not make the farmers who pursue lying flat comfortable, but it is just a good place to combine work and rest, and it is also a home for the spiritual and physical rest of kind and hardworking farmers. In addition, I think Wild Wind can also be selected as a teaching material, which is not only short and easy to understand, but also poetic and humorous. Moreover, it has substance in words and a critical attitude towards excessive materialism. It is a very interesting article. Of course, there are pagodas and temples where the author's beautiful rural memories are pinned.
The fourth part is about country people, and the most typical one is Starry Night, which is actually a prose poem. I wrote about my mother peeling corn, like a starry night. Writing about father hoeing at night, writing about uncle Li sharpening his knife at night, writing about elder sister Gui Lan diving in an ancient well at night, writing about uncle reading poems at night, and writing about uncle going to the market at night are all portrayal of the real life of working peasants under the starry night in rural areas, which is desirable to read. The phrase "full, full of stars, full of gratitude" is even the most representative literary language of the author. In "Moon in the Water", this shows that the author is so full of the poet's heart and is also the education of many parents. Father's "Pick up more moonlight and life will be bright". Mother's "mother likes listening to birds and watching mountains and moons all her life." You see, this is the son of a real poet. Have you read it, reader? In addition to the characters, the author especially likes the expression of rural emotions. Although the emotional tone is somewhat gloomy, he does not refuse or complain about his current attitude, because as the title says, "there are always magpies waiting for someone" will bring good things. We wait together to express our yearning for a better life. What I admire about this abstract idea is that, on the one hand, the author objectifies the disappearance of his hometown, and what a poetic language "the dog's tail chasing the teenager's background" ... completely cuts off the green tail ". Then how the game ends naturally depends on the magpie.
After reading Mr. Li Hanrong's prose works, we will feel his distinctive humanistic atmosphere, peculiar language imagination, intense content and other artistic features. Taking this work as an example, he loves the most wonderful description of nature. The rural animals and plants, people and things, scenery and feelings in his works all present a rural fairy tale world with clear language, delicacy, full charm, vividness and far-reaching artistic conception.
If foreigners are keen to symbolize the bluebird's yearning for good things and a happy life, then China people are keen to symbolize the magpie's yearning for good things and a happy life. In this book "Magpies Always Treat People", which is full of field breath, the author embodies his pursuit of a fairy tale-like life from the countryside like magpies. Through his infinite imagination of poetry and deep-rooted humanistic feelings, the author tells us that behind the noise and impetuousness, there are some very quiet small worlds in the world, that is, each of us can reproduce his homesickness for the fields poetically. Every primate should embrace beauty. As the saying goes, "Magpies stand on the threshold, flying flowers fall into the inkstone pool". Let's wait for the moment when magpies fly in the inkstone pool full of imagination and humanistic feelings!
