Literature is too heavy a word, because it is vast, so heavy. Literature in a broad sense is the floorboard of all language arts. However, one cannot really understand the meaning of literature all one's life. Although he can't reach it, he yearns for it. Although it can't be exhausted, at least we have heard of it, and we will always meet it. Under its infection, we will live a poetic life.
In the immature primary school era, we gradually began to contact literature. In Chinese class, we got carried away and listened to the elderly teacher patiently reciting "a dangerous building is 100 feet high, and one hand can pick up the stars". Knowing nothing, we can all read aloud after the teacher until we finish reciting. At that time, I really thought that the poet could pick the stars in the sky by raising his hand, so I envied the picture described by the poet for a long time. I fantasized for a long time until we learned a new chapter and recited a new poem: "Goose Goose, Xiang Tiange" ... "to see the sun, for all his glory, buried by the coming night" ... not as good as Wang Lun's "... We passed with these poems that we had read and recited. Once it is taken care of, it will prosper.
When we were in middle school, we gradually learned some superficial aspects of literature. Under the guidance of the teacher, we learned that there are several categories of articles, such as narrative, argumentative, explanatory and scenery writing. We also understand why Fan Zhongyan has the mentality of "worrying about the world first, and enjoying the world later". We even know why Qu Yuan threw himself into the river and why Sima Qian was angry and wrote historical records! In the process of exploring literature step by step, my feelings for literature are getting deeper and deeper. However, when I passively accept literature, I always feel as if there is something lacking. Now it seems that it may be a kind of "aphasia", that is to say, there is not much right to express words in literature, so I was just instilled and stuffed into it, so that I even hated the boring ancient Chinese recitation at that time, and even wondered why the ancients had so many things. However, now I am grateful for the encounter with literature at that stage. Without the accumulation at that time, it is impossible to be so obsessed with literature now. Until now, I still remember the writing class clearly. I remember two things clearly. One is that I am proud of my good performance, and the other is that I am poor and even criticized. I am glad that I belong to the former. In writing class, the teacher often reads my composition as a model essay and praises my good literary accomplishment. Although I didn't know much about the word "literary accomplishment" at that time, I still took it for granted that a good composition is a high literary accomplishment. Now that I think about it, the encounter with literature was so hasty. Because of the approaching pressure of entering a higher school, our writing class is pressed and pressed, so we have to use trigonometric functions and equations to replace our Tang poetry and Song poetry.
The motto of our university is "mindfulness, perfection, erudition and perseverance". In the relaxed atmosphere of the university, I really met literature, and I realized that its vastness and heaviness required me to feel and study with my heart. Novels, essays and poems are all literary forms. Literature is a high mountain. I am wandering at the foot of the mountain, and I have the desire to climb. With the deepening contact with literature, I found that literature no longer brought us happy emotional experience as before. On the contrary, the deeper you go, the more you will find that sometimes literature brings us painful reading experiences, specifically painful reading and painful feelings. When reading the text, you should take your own emotional experience to read and think deeply. Reading is completely different from watching movies and listening to concerts. The latter is like a huge birthday cake, which can be shared happily, while the former is green tea under a lonely lamp. You can only sip by yourself and listen to a generation of sages talking to you through history. When you close the book, you shut it in, but you can't help but open it again.
When I was immersed in the ocean of literature again and again, it gave me much more than I paid, so under the guidance of literature, I lived poetically with the special lifestyle and emotional experience it brought me. After contact with the delay of Shakespeare's plays, the tragic world written by Cao Xueqin, Xianglinsao and Ah Q written by Lu Xun, literature is becoming more and more popular and commercialized today. Especially in the interpretation of elite literature, intellectuals as representatives of elite literature are increasingly marginalized, which shows that elite literature is also marginalized. There are two main ways for modern people to interpret elite literature. One is to pay attention to its surface and interpret it superficially. The second is to package some vulgar literature with the help of the heavy cultural representation of elite literature, such as a westward journey and boiling the Three Kingdoms.
In the modern literature market, there are many noises, but there is no really meaningful voice. Han Han's basic knowledge is not good enough. He is handsome and has no details. He dares to say that he is a hero in the eyes of many people, but he should cherish his right to speak. This is not an era when he can sprint. He was named the second man of the hour by Time magazine, and he should cherish the worship of netizens in China. As a contemporary literary phenomenon, Han Han deserves attention. But at present, after Mo Yan won the Nobel Prize in Literature, a literary upsurge in China should also be paid attention to. After Mo Yan won the Nobel Prize in Literature, major domestic media and review journals put Mo Yan in a very high position, thinking that Mo Yan won the Nobel Prize in Literature, which means that our literature in China has finally reached a level comparable to that of world literature. We must make it clear that Mo Yan's winning the Nobel Prize in Literature is indeed worth celebrating, but at the same time, we should treat Nobel Prize in Literature rationally, and we should not take Nobel Prize in Literature as the only criterion to judge the quality and status of our China literature.
The development of literature has its specific track and way. For example, in today's market, the popularization of literature is not a bad thing. With the development of science and technology, the means of communication and expression of literature are increasingly enriched and improved, which is not a bad thing for us. However, good literature should come from real life and be higher than real life. It can truly reflect social reality and is higher than social reality, and it is critical of the truth of life. It should be the unity of humanistic care and historical rationality.
Literature has been growing with me in primary school, middle school and university. At different stages, I met it in different ways. Every time I met it, generate had a brilliant spark in Generate, as if he really had a spiritual exchange with a generation of sages. Although literature is so extensive and profound, once you touch it, you can gain insight into your light. To me, literature is like a mountain. I am wandering at the foot of the mountain, and I have the desire to climb.
