Speaking of Zhu Ziqing's "Hurry", people can't help but think of Gorky's masterpiece "Clock". Although their styles are different, the two writers happen to coincide, grasping things that people are accustomed to and easy to ignore, or expressing their feelings or commenting, lamenting that youth is fleeting and life is short, and it is urgent to cherish time and life and make a difference.
"In a hurry" was written in March 1922, and the May 4th Movement was at low tide. Facing the disappointing reality, Zhu Ziqing felt depressed, nostalgic, regretful and melancholy. But after all, Zhu Ziqing is a self-disciplined, earnest, diligent and practical person. Although he is sad, he is not depressed. Although he is hesitant, he is not depressed. In his letter to Yu Pingbo on 1922+06543817, he revealed his contradictory thoughts: "I feel extremely tempted, decadent and annoyed by modernity", "I feel that time is in a hurry, but it is a pity", and I am determined to "throw away metaphysics and focus on reality" and practice "instantism". Form a positive instantism ",which will always be positive, positive, shouting and struggling in behavior" (read). Understanding Zhu Ziqing's mentality when writing in a hurry is helpful to grasp the author's unique aesthetic feeling caused by light flow.
Invisible and intangible time actually passes away from people mercilessly and hastily. With his rich imagination, Zhu Ziqing vividly captured the trace of the passage of time. At the beginning of the article, the author depicts the picture of swallows gone, willows withered and peach blossoms withered, and renders it with the rise and fall of natural objects and the change of time sequence. Suggest traces of the passage of time. This reminds the author that more than 8,000 days in 24 years are like "a drop of water in the sea" without a trace, "making people cry". The author further, concretely and minutely describes the moments of eating, washing hands, sleeping and even sighing in daily life. Time flies. The "fog" melted in Chuyang just disappeared. The author deeply feels that since he came to this world, he can't "walk this time for nothing" and reveal the theme in an orderly way. Zhu Ziqing's thought of cherishing an inch of gold undoubtedly coincides with the essence of the ancient poem "Young people don't work hard, but the oldest ones grieve" and the proverb "An inch of time is worth an inch of gold, and an inch of money can't buy an inch of time", and there will be a sense of surprise (Shan Ye Collection), which makes the ethereal and abstract concept of time become a concrete image, giving people a real texture and a strong sense of mobility, as if it had become a relationship between people and * * * *.
It is worth noting that in the quiet flow of time, in a short span of more than 600 words, Zhu Ziqing used various rhetorical devices to completely show his inner world, allowing readers to clearly grasp his ideological context. At the beginning of the article, the author uses three parallel prose to describe spring scenery, which sets off the artistic conception of "the days are gone forever" Point out the eye of the problem and ask the question of whether time is "stolen" or "escaped" with lyrical rhetoric sentences, feeling that time waits for no one. Then, in the second and third paragraphs, after the rhetorical question above, another question is raised. The author compares the time of his past life to a drop of water, compares the "flow of time" of nature to the sea, and compares the smallness with the vastness. Giving life to the sun as a symbol of time, saying that the sun moves quietly around him, jumps nimbly and flies lightly, makes him feel at a loss and uneasy. Relying on the hasty appearance of the sun, he entrusted his surging feelings and deepened the theme. Finally, in the fourth paragraph, the author uses questions to trace the "gossamer trace" of his past life, showing serious thinking about the value of life and persistent pursuit of life. "Why are our days gone forever?" It echoes the beginning repeatedly, showing an uneasy mood. On the one hand, the author exerts his wonderful imagination, on the other hand, he makes full use of various rhetorical methods, especially the eleven questions that run through the whole article, as clues to emotional development, showing infinite thoughts through limited images, and with the help of ingenious ideas, "majestic stagnation" hovers in his heart.
Zhu Ziqing showed the beauty of painting and poetry by his subtle observation and experience of objective things and vivid brushwork, and by integrating feelings into the scenery. For example, the sun in his works is not the usual natural scenery, but an artistic image created by the author, which is the subjective and objective unity of the author's subjective feelings and objective external things. Language has a sense of rhythm and melody, which is simple and clear.
Zhu Ziqing's description of time with the theme of "hurry" is a rare and volatile feeling. This topic itself contains a strong emotional flavor, but also hides the rational interest in life. As a graduate of university philosophy department, he has to observe and think about social and life problems from the perspective of a philosopher. In many essays, he describes daily life in a lyrical style like a poet, which makes his works philosophical and profound. In this article, the author intends to explore the meaning and value of life. The lonely but passionate ambivalence, distress and hesitation and realistic pursuit revealed in this period certainly represent the general psychological state of young intellectuals who pursued progress but could not find a way out at the moment during the May 4th Movement, reflecting the mood of the times, but his attitude towards life, which cherishes inch by inch, loves life and is inspirational, has inspired readers and triggered associations. Only by grasping the present in life and work can we grasp the future. Because Zhu Ziqing strives for the true interest of life and has new insights, his works will be full of rational interest and make people alert.
In a hurry, the style is euphemistic, smooth, light and long. The full text is short in length, simple in structure and short in sentence structure. Swallow, willow, light smoke, breeze, mist, Chuyang, steaming, gossamer and other words drift with the current, and their artistic conception is clear. The whole article is harmonious, symmetrical and decent, all looking for traces of the passage of time to express the author's thoughts and feelings.
In a hurry is an early work of Mr. Zhu Ziqing. The article expresses the helplessness and helplessness of the old literati in a turbulent era in the face of the hurried "flying away" time.
We Should Cherish Seconds More —— Analysis of Hurriedly
When evaluating the achievements of literary creation since the May Fourth Movement, Mr. Lu Xun once had such a unique and incisive insight (since the May Fourth Movement): "The success of essays is almost above novels, operas and poems." Mr. Zhu Ziqing is one of the outstanding prose writers since the May 4th Movement. His unique, sincere and touching prose works show the achievements of the "literary revolution". It has lasting artistic vitality. Rush is one of them. The specific object in Hurriedly is an ethereal time, which is extremely difficult to grasp and express. However, the author's ingenious flower pen can give this invisible object a concrete and vivid image and express all the author's feelings.
This article uses the beginning of this poem to cheer up the spirit. "Swallows have gone and come again; Willow withered, there is a time to green again; Peach blossoms fade and sometimes bloom again. " Three sentences of compound sentence in one go, full of poetry. You can grasp it regularly and find it with traces. Back and forth, the lost swallows, willows and peach blossoms all come to entertain with things. The contrast is fleeting and there is no trace of "time". What follows is a series of four questions, which have no answers, but the reader thinks a little. It is also thought-provoking. From the perspective of language style, it is also fleeting, such as a white horse passing by, such as a quick glance. This passage is clear and fluent, but it is somewhat vague and implicit, and it begins to show a faint artistic conception that dominates the whole text.
The second paragraph "I don't know how many days they gave me" is asking myself. Naturally, I began to integrate "I" into the text and take "my life" as the narrative content. "More than 8,000 days" is a record of half a lap. The author was born in 1898 and spent 24 years writing this article in 1922. It is also the "more than 8,000 days" outlined by the author. "Like a drop of water on the tip of a needle in the sea" is a vivid metaphor, in order to further contrast and render the "hurry" atmosphere. At the end, the author's inner world is empty and melancholy because of the passage of time and unfulfilled ambitions. Write down your thoughts about wasting time and show your sincere fear. "My head is full of sweat" means that the author is deeply ashamed of wasting time, but his forehead is full of sweat: "Tears" means that the author is crying because of wasting time and not achieving anything.
The passage of time is experienced by everyone personally, but it can be said that most of them are commonplace and turn a blind eye. How can people have a concrete image of this? Therefore, in the third paragraph, the author focuses on the daily life of "me" and starts with trivial things that people have to experience personally, vividly describing the hasty passage of time. Zhu Ziqing once said: "Double the description where people ignore it, so that you will be surprised in ordinary life." This description is the practice of his creative theory, which can be called meticulous. Description of "overlapping" of dense needles. Please look at these specific and slightly exaggerated descriptions, such as "Life in a basin", "Life in a rice bowl" and "The past before frozen eyes". These descriptions are novel enough to "double", but the following descriptions are more chic and exaggerated. "Reach out and cover your arm, go through the cover" and "It's getting dark, go through the cover". It flew away from my feet. This kind of description really makes people "distinguish many new and different flavors" from the familiar life. At the end, "I covered my sigh, but the shadow of a new day flashed in my sigh" is even more superb. The sigh was only a few seconds, and during this time, it was a surprise, but Youlong didn't even have time to meet face to face. Just a faint figure flashed by. Here, the exaggerated description is doubled, and the fleeting characteristics of time also show its charm. The "time" in Zhu Ziqing's works is like observation under a microscope. After hundreds or even thousands of times of expansion, the details are clear and vivid. This paragraph is the most important part of the full text. In order to show the rapidity of time more clearly, the author describes it step by step. Things that show the passage of time last for a long time, such as getting up in the morning, washing hands, eating, and being silent. The corresponding passage of time is not very fast, but "shifting" and "past". The next metaphor is that time is shorter and time passes faster, from "shift" to "move" until the last "flash with a shadow" This quick description not only vividly shows the fleeting characteristics of time, but also makes readers feel from shallow to deep, experience from shallow to thick, and involuntarily enter the artistic conception created by the works, and a strong sense of surprise arises spontaneously.
Prose is a style that needs strong feelings. The purpose of narrative scenery in prose is to express emotion. In the above paragraphs, the author describes in detail the traces of the passage of time in perceptual language, and expresses his subtle feelings euphemistically and implicitly. This is because some progressive young intellectuals are dissatisfied with the awakening of the status quo but have not yet found the right way out. They are both depressed and unwilling to fall into loneliness. It is a typical thought and feeling of wanting to make a difference. The appearance of this feeling is contained in the description of the facts, which is the so-called "being realistic with reason and meaning". Therefore, from the perspective of writing, seeking truth from facts and writing in a hurry are still the main contents.
However, with the further development of the article, the author's rich feelings gradually converge into an unstoppable Hong Tao from the trickle flowing slowly in the mountains, and gush out. Quotes have also changed from realism to realism, and feelings are slowly revealed between the lines and directly expressed-feelings flow down like waterfalls in Hong Tao. Please see, a series of six questions in the fourth natural paragraph are expressed like a river running, rushing thousands of miles, incisively and vividly. Immediately replied: "Only wandering, only running." Then tie "vagrancy" and ask, "What's left except vagrancy?" This is actually a rhetorical sentence of "nothing but wandering", which highlights the author's melancholy and sad mood. The third sentence asks yourself: "What traces did I leave?" The fourth sentence further emphasizes: "Have I left traces like a hairspring?" There is no trace of gossamer, which shows that life is mediocre. The lack of "trace" is exactly what makes the author depressed. The fifth sentence uses two "nakedness", which clearly shows the author's depression and hesitation. And the last "but it can't be flat, why must we go in vain this time?" However, it shows unwillingness to sink into depression and hesitation. Because if you can't live like this, of course you still have hope.
This passage expresses the author's sigh for years and hatred of mediocrity. Looking forward to doing something, I feel sincere and strong. Literally, however, a series of impassioned words with light questions and nothing to say are successfully reflected in strength, but they are touching and charming. This passage mainly expresses feelings, but it is by no means vague, but closely follows the specific images that cause emotional waves. In fact, there is nothing floating. The six rhetorical questions are all lamentations caused by the light rushing by at the same time. Moreover, while asking questions to express feelings, it was also stained with dyes, which vividly described the fleeting time. "Flee like a fly" is a vivid description, "like a wisp of smoke, blown away by a breeze; Like fog, it was melted by Chu Yang. " This is a vivid description of the shape of things.
At the end of the article, the key sentences in the first paragraph are repeated, the theme is pointed out, and the "urgency" is highlighted. The article is rigorous and meticulous in structure.
Throughout the full text, the length is extremely short, the total length is only about 500 words, but it vividly depicts the characteristics of fleeting time and drifting away. In this description, the author's inner world is subtly and naturally exposed. Vivid realism and emotional expression are harmoniously integrated through exquisite structure and concise and fresh language, which constitutes a beautiful artistic conception of "lightness" that dominates the whole paper. The whole article is quiet, natural and natural. Very artistic appeal, it is indeed a rare masterpiece of prose. It is worthy of our study in art, and it also has some merits in thought. Although the thoughts and feelings reflected in this paper are not high-profile, relatively low and depressed, they are by no means decadent and depressed. The expression of the lonely and desolate thoughts and feelings of the old youth contains ridicule and criticism of the social reality of semi-feudal and semi-colonial old China. Obviously, it is progressive. Moreover, through the writer's "double" description, we are extremely surprised by the passage of time from the "ordinary physical experience" and can also get great enlightenment. Dong Lao said: "As the old saying goes, this day is full, but it is a pity to cherish the second yin." We have read this article and learned the same lesson.
