With fresh brushstrokes, the author described the beautiful scenery he saw when he visited the grasslands in Inner Mongolia and the touching scene of Mongolian compatriots warmly welcoming Han compatriots from afar.
The article is rigorous in thought, exquisite in structure, clear in theme, beautiful in writing and far-reaching, and praises the magnificence of the motherland and the friendship of national unity.
Famous comments:
Professor Wu Xiaomei of Lanzhou University's Thirty-eight Lectures on Lao She's Prose: Writing about Lin Hai naturally turns to grassland. What is different from Linhai is the practical significance of rejuvenating the country and securing the country, while the grassland talks about the brotherhood of the Mongolian and Han nationalities, but there is also no preaching here.
From Language Law to Literary Imagery written by Bu, an associate professor of Beijing Normal University —— Taking Lao She's Scenery Description in Grassland as an Example: Although the scenery description in the first paragraph of Grassland has more than 200 words, it vividly reflects Lao She's superb skills in language structure, diction and writing skills, and reflects the role of language law in the expression of literary images.
Dan Zhan, a professor at Shanghai Normal University, talks about Lao She's reading comprehension of Grassland: Because the author entered the grassland as a stranger for the first time, in his writing, he deliberately designed expression strategies in a conflicting way, using the real feelings he gained from his life, thus deepening the reader's reading impression.
