The Significance of The Book of Songs to Modern Life

1. But what is recorded in the book and who is it? Ziyun added, "I have accomplished nothing in this dusty day, but suddenly I think of all the women that day." After careful investigation, I feel that their actions and knowledge are above mine. Why don't I open my eyes? If I don't open my eyes, why don't I wear a skirt? If you are really ashamed, you will have more. If you regret it, it will be useless. At this time, I want to make up a crime episode that I once owed to the education of my father and brother and the discipline of my teachers and friends, so as to tell the world that my crime is inevitable, but there are still people in the boudoir. (A Dream of Red Mansions)

2. "What you don't say is doomed to disappear." Throughout the history of mankind in the 20th century, we will be surprised to find that every historical event or character deserves to be written as an epic, tragedy or lyric poem. But they all disappeared, leaving only faint traces. It can be said that even the bravest, most passionate and most decisive people can only be called shadows compared with just a few elaborate words describing the rising moon. (milosz's "Dogs by the Road" and "The Power of Language")

However, the author is not without doubt about writing poetry. Sometimes he thinks that writing is "a velvet, when you open this gorgeous appearance, you will find nothing inside", and sometimes he thinks that "poetry is a shameful thing, and writing poetry is like being stripped naked to show your physical defects in public". He said that the poet is abnormal and unmanly. Because of the dark entanglement and fear, he has the impulse to create and make up for his weakness with his works. The poet witnessed the madness and absurdity of the twentieth century, examined and scraped away the dirt in his heart. Like job, he cried out in the abyss with poetry. For poets, it is absurd to write poems, and it is even more absurd not to write poems. In the "goal" section, the poet wrote:

"When I write, the bright side will come out. When I stopped writing, the dark side appeared. So in order not to let myself fall, I have to write. " Writing poetry has become a nameless need, for order, for rhythm, for form, for fighting against chaos and nothingness. "What you don't say is doomed to disappear." Writing poetry as a witness provides people with a place to live in memory, although the poet knows that "it is very difficult to leave a person, because the door of our house is open, there is no key on the door, and invisible guests can come in and out at will." ("roadside dog poem")

3. The truth in poetry is the real truth. Flowers, a real thing, can't be real without poetry. Truth has two meanings: secular truth and poetic truth. The so-called truth usually comes from seeing, and seeing also comes from the naked eye. What you see is not true, but superficial, such as the words on the blackboard, which can be erased immediately. Only what the poet sees is true. For example, "the moon kills people, and the wind sets fire to the sky." This is true in poetry and literature, which turns impermanence into immortality.

Everything in the world is impermanent, but poetry is immortal, which can compete with heaven and earth for a day. Everything is bad, but poetry is not bad. As the saying goes, "real flowers fall for a while, but painted trees last forever." However, painting has its disadvantages, and poetry is not bad. Taibai died. His poems were neither written by Tang Ben nor collected by him, but they are still there, which is immortal and unchangeable. Although there are no words, his poems are still in the hearts of the people.

The so-called "constancy" of Buddha is immortal, and people without thoughts are equal to non-existence. (Gu Sui's Poems on Tuoan)

Karl popper divided the world into three different but interactive worlds.

First, the world 1 consists of physical energy in the form of physical objects, rocky rivers, animals and plants, radiation, etc.

Secondly, it is World 2, a world with inner or psychological feelings, our feelings of pain and happiness, our thoughts, our decisions, our perceptions and our observations. From the human point of view or from the moral point of view, World 2 is very important.

World 3 is the theoretical basis that human beings are the product of mind, such as scientific conjecture or mathematical construction; Songs and symphonies; Painting and sculpture; Maps, design drawings of buildings and engines, or design drawings of cars and planes, and even computer programs are all based on theories or guesses, and like books, they are the embodiment of the objects of World 3.

Our hearts not only created the world, but also were created by the world. (karl popper)

5. Gu Yun: "The world is cold, and I don't choose wise men and fools, but I especially doubt whether it is our generation." Sincerity is words! It's just a clear view that all realms are for poets. Without poets, there is no such realm. The realm of husband is presented in the heart, and seeing external things is an instant thing. Only a poet can engrave immortal words with this moment to satisfy readers, and then feel that the poet's words are what I say in my heart, not what I can say. This is the secret of great poets.

There are two realms: the realm of poets and the realm of ordinary people. The poet's realm can only be felt and written by the poet, so people who read his poems are also ambitious and have the meaning of forgetting their lives. And there are some things that can't be done, and the people who get it also have their own depth. If the husband is sad and happy, he will feel the feeling of travel and service. Ordinary people can feel it, but only poets can write it So it is deeply rooted in people's hearts, especially in the world. Mr. Wang's words belong to the second category. (Wang Guowei's "Mr. Muslim's Legacy")

6. Writing is not a representation, but a pursuit of reality, which requires the substitution of reality.

Words are things, that is, people, that is, gods, that is, words themselves. This is the original state of existence itself. The simple naming of existence throws out the picture of existence and the universe. Where there is no name, there is chaos and darkness. Because our mother tongue is the source of our existence in Illuminating the World. But mother tongue not only gives us enough light of life, but also gives us the most dangerous essence as human beings-self-awareness. (Zhang Zao's poet and mother tongue)

When I am silent, I feel full; I will open my mouth and feel empty at the same time. (Lu Xun)

7. At that time, if summer had not been refined,

Let it condense into perfume and lock it in a glass bottle.

Beauty and beauty will be cut off together,

Beauty, and the memory of beauty, are no longer mentioned:

But delicate flowers compete with winter,

Only when you lose color, you always spit out the fragrance. (Shakespeare's Sonnets (V))

8. Anna did not wear purple clothes as Kitty longed for, but wore a black velvet topless dress, revealing her plump shoulders and breasts carved like old ivory, as well as round arms and short hands. Her whole dress is inlaid with venetian lace. On her head, there is a bunch of small violets in the middle of her natural black hair, and the same bouquet is inserted in a black belt with white lace. There is nothing special about her hairstyle. What is striking is the stubborn curly hair that has been exposed from the back of the neck and temples, which makes her more charming. A string of pearls hung around her neck, as if carved from ivory. (Tolstoy's Anna karenin, Chapter 22, Volume/kloc-0)

Second, I think therefore I am/I say therefore I am.

9. Each of us has a life course, an internal narrative-its continuity, its meaning, is where our life lies. Perhaps it can be said that each of us is constructing and experiencing a "narrative", and this "narrative" is us and our identity.

Each of us is a unique narrative, which is constantly and unconsciously constructed by us, through our construction, in our hearts-it is constructed through our intuition, through our feelings, through our thoughts and through our actions; Moreover, the most important thing is that it is constructed by our words and through our oral narration. In biology, in physiology, we are not very different; In history, as a narrative, each of us is unique. (oliver sacks mistook his wife for a hat, page 130)

10. Literature teaches us how to pay more attention to life; We pay practice in life; Conversely, you can better understand the details in literature; Conversely, we can live better. So back and forth. (James Wood, The Machine of Fiction)

Life imitates art better than art imitates life. This is not only because of the imitation instinct of life, but also because the conscious goal of life is to seek expression, and art provides some wonderful forms for it, through which life can show its potential. This is a theory that has never been put forward, but it is very effective and brings a new dawn to art history. The inevitable conclusion can be drawn from this is that the external nature is also imitating art, and the only impressions she can show us are those we get from poetry or painting. This is the mystery of the charm of nature, and it also shows the weakness of nature. (the rot of lies)

By comparing the works of Shakespeare, Balzac, Zola and other writers with strong realism, Wilde pointed out that life is only a reflection, and art is real. "Life imitates art far better than art imitates life." Wilde's view is not grandstanding, nor does it mean that art should be divorced from life, but he first pointed out the importance of creative skills in the history of art.

When an outstanding artist creates a new model, life tries to imitate it.

Language is the mother of thought, not the son of thought.

Art finds its perfection in itself rather than outside.

Every heart is like a weapon, stuffed with ammunition-like desires to the muzzle. (Oscar Wilde, The Decline of Lies)

12. Art exists to restore people's feelings about life, to make people feel things, and to make stones show the texture of stones. The purpose of art is to make people feel things, not just know things.

The skill of art is to defame the object, make the form difficult, and increase the difficulty of feeling and the length of time, because the feeling process itself is an aesthetic purpose and must be extended. (shklovsky's Art as a Technology)

The poet Rilke also said in his Requiem for Lovers:

Because between life and great works

There's always some old hostility.

Language itself has vitality, but many words and expressions gradually lose their luster and become the eyes of a dead pearl fish in the process of working day and night.

Third, if you don't learn poetry, you have nothing to say.

13. Reading is to understand other people's lives and take care of your own.

14. When you can feel what you want to feel, say what you feel.

Aristotle once said, "Happiness mainly comes from the goodness of the soul."

Democritus thought: "What makes people happy is not physical strength or money, but justice and versatility."

It is a very happy time to feel what you want to feel and say what you feel. (Ta Xilun)

15. Merimee created Carmen, let Carmen enter the language, let this gypsy woman with a rose in her mouth, an castanet in her hand and a dagger in her belt, like the sentries in Granada and Malaga, easily glide across the border and enter the stage of Germany, Russia and China, thus explaining the meaning of "freedom" to us. Her thoughtlessness in the face of death awakened the idea of laughing at death hidden in each of us. "Like all great figures in art, she is both our mirror and our dream." "In their virtual existence, we perceive our own characteristics"—

Without these characters, our inner past would be a grave full of dead silence. From Socrates, who is haunted by Homer and Plato, to Baron Summers written by Proust, and Bloom written by Joyce, we have been getting realistic signposts from novels. The dialogue between immortal ghosts and living people gives us the power to sing words. The highest achievement of an artist is to complete the miracle of eternal life. Only then will he realize that he must endure harsh desires in order to surpass his short life. Although art, poetry or novels in each period will create countless characters, only a few people will spark elegance in generate, thus leaping over the eternal shadow from the short-lived existence. Carmen is one of them. (merime)

16. Cold, tired and addicted to flying pavilions.

Hershey, Zhuan Xu is ashamed to lean on others.

Hair is self-contained and skin is latent.

The sun believes in deep benevolence, and zicui branch.

If you worry about your eyes, it is easy to get sick. ...

In the cold winter, Lao Du, who lives in Kuizhou, is leaning against the wall of Xige to bask in the sun. I only feel that the warmth brought by the sun flows around my body, like kindness and kindness. So my hair is lighter and more, my skin is moisturized, and the gas of aging is propped up at once. But staring at the sun for a long time will upset me, so I want to get up and walk. First my foot is unstable, and then it's convenient. You see, Lao Du's comparison between concrete Sun and abstract "virtue" and "benevolence" is really unexpected and appropriate! The transfer of thermal molecules is "fluid" and the changes caused are "latent". How kind and real this feeling is! (Debate on Jiang Weak Water as Poetry)

17. Reading is an exhausting thing. Memorizing abstract symbols is not easy for the brain. Therefore, the brain needs external information as an anchor to assist memory. One of the common skills of memory masters is to visualize abstract words and help them remember through concrete material anchors.

In the process of reading paper books, the touch of fingertips, the swing of fingers turning pages, and the weight borne by palms all play the role of anchors to help us remember. Paper books exist with the memory of reading. Its function is similar to a certain smell suddenly evoking a memory, and a toy reminds you of the happy time when you were a child.

When reading e-books, whether reading philosophical masterpieces, light romance novels or exciting horror novels, the touch of fingertips, the swing of fingers turning pages and the weight borne by palms are all the same. All you have is an abstract memory of words.

Some science and technology experts compare reading e-books to blind people walking on busy streets. There are almost no references in the real world, and the blind can only remember where there are obstacles and steps on the road with their eyes. The difficulty coefficient is much greater than that of people with normal vision crossing the road, that is, paper readers.
