Generally speaking, the article is peaceful and simple. After careful tasting, I found that the author showed nostalgia and nostalgia for his hometown in all kinds of talks about lotus root and water shield.
At the beginning of the article, I said, "Drinking with my friends and chewing the thin roots of Saussurea involucrata suddenly miss my hometown." From eating lotus roots, you should actually show homesickness. The word "suddenly" shows us the author's deep yearning for his hometown. As long as there is a little "touch"-lotus root with hometown characteristics, it can arouse the author's nostalgia. Then, through memories, the author paints a picture of autumn in my hometown: against the backdrop of ponds and winding rivers that produce lotus roots outside the city, hardworking, simple and healthy male and female lotus farmers enter the city with "fresh and tender jade lotus roots" that have been smashed again and again, making the "light and sweet taste" available to every household and everyone.
Lotus root, which is very common in my hometown, reminds the author of "here" and becomes a treasure and object for "helping the teahouse" to please the rich man; It has become a noble commodity that all fruit shops have "waiting for the price". As for the lotus roots sold in the street, "they are not as thin as beggars' arms and legs, but as astringent as immature persimmons." The lotus root given by the neighbor is "covered with rust spots", which is tasteless and doesn't want to eat another piece. Because of the thought of lotus root, the author also thought of the water shield in his hometown. It's convenient to get out of Taihu Lake. The tasteless water shield is better set off by soup, which is the "good soup" in my hometown. This is why I feel "light green color and rich poetry, tasteless taste is really fascinating". In Shanghai, water shield means "you can't eat outside", otherwise it will be hard to eat.
Lotus root and water shield, which are very common in my hometown, have left the place where they grew up and become unrecognizable, which reminds the author of the simple folk customs in my hometown, and between the lines, there is a deep homesickness of the author. Hometown is not an abstract word, but is composed of many people, things, objects and scenes, and it is a mixture of many emotions and memories. Therefore, homesickness works are often based on some specific things, arousing homesickness from the immediate scene, that is, borrowing things to express feelings. The lotus root and water shield in the author's works have special meanings because they combine homesickness.
Secondly, the language of the article is plain and simple, friendly and natural. The happiest time is the past, the most sincere friendship is the past friendship, the most rare emotion is the past emotion, and the most unforgettable food is the childhood food, which is a psychological and emotional experience that almost everyone has. Therefore, the author can arouse readers' homesickness without flowery rhetoric, exquisite structure and playful writing. The more intimate and natural the language is, the more touching it will be and leave a sincere impression on readers.
At the beginning of the article, I thought of my hometown because I drank and ate lotus roots. I wrote naturally and frankly, setting a simple and cordial tone for the whole article. This style of writing shaped by events gives people the impression that friends are chatting about old things and chatting casually. Another example is Zaizhuo. "When they want to have a rest, they put the bamboo pole on the ground and sit on it by themselves. They just picked tender lotus roots or older lotus roots in the pole and chewed them to quench their thirst. " Zhuo, Heng, Sit, Pick and Chew. "Fresh and tender lotus root", without gorgeous rhetoric, has long made people salivate. Ye Shengtao's prose is mainly realistic, rarely expressing feelings directly, and rarely expressing the author's views directly. Throughout the whole article, few authors directly express their inner words. Just follow his train of thought, listen to him explain some trivial things about lotus root and water shield, and savor them carefully. That plain sentence is the expression of the author's true feelings, which makes the whole article meaningful and memorable.
Being good at layout, paying attention to the ending and leaving aftertaste is also a major feature of this paper. The author compares the lotus root and water shield in his hometown with those here, which makes the images of lotus root and water shield in his hometown more vivid and full, and the author's nostalgia for his hometown is beyond words. From lotus root to water shield to nostalgia, the transition is natural. The end of the article is also quite distinctive. Five questions are rare in Ye Shengtao's works, and that homesickness is touching. Five questions means step by step, and finally point out what you love. "So I miss my hometown" at the end and "Suddenly I miss my hometown" at the beginning of the article take care of each other, because "there is love in my hometown, but only in my hometown", homesickness is vivid and runs through.
