Appreciation of Xu Zhimo's Prose Cambridge as I Know It
original text
Cambridge as I know it.
Most of the twists and turns in life have found emotional clues. If nothing else, just study. I went to England to learn from Rousseau. When Rousseau came to China, I was already in the United States. When the inaccurate news of his death spread, I really didn't have enough tears and made a mourning poem. I'm naturally glad he's not dead. I got rid of the temptation of getting a doctorate from Columbia University and bought a boat to sail across the Atlantic Ocean, hoping to study hard with this 20th century Rothel. I didn't know that things had changed until I arrived in England: first, I advocated peace in wartime, and second, I divorced. Rousseau was expelled from Cambridge University. He was originally a researcher at Trinity College, and his position as a researcher was cancelled. After he returned to England, he stayed in London, and the husband and wife made a living by selling things. So I didn't fulfill my original wish to learn. After spending half a year in the London School of Economics and Political Science, I met Mr. Dickinson when I felt bored and wanted to change my way. Emily Dickinson is a famous writer, and his two books, Letters from Johns China and Modern Symbols, have won my admiration. I first met him at the League of Nations Association in London. On that day, Mr. Lin Zongmeng gave a speech. He was the chairman. The second time, I lived in Yu Meng and had tea with him.
I will often go to his house in the future. Seeing my boredom, he suggested that I go to Cambridge. He is a researcher at King's College. I wrote to inquire about these two colleges, and I replied that the places were full. Later, Mr. Dickinson agreed to let me go to his college and gave me a special qualification to attend classes at will. From then on, I occupied the scenery of black square scarf and black robe.
At first, I rented several cabins in Shaston, a place six miles from Cambridge. My ex-wife, Ms. Zhang Youyi, lives with Guo Yushang. Every morning I go to school by tram (sometimes by bike) and come home very late. I spent a spring like this, but I was still a stranger in Cambridge. I don't know anyone I can say that I have never tasted life in Cambridge. I only know a library, several classrooms, and three or two cheap tea shops. Dickinson is often in London or mainland China, so I don't see him often. That autumn, I went back to Cambridge alone for a whole academic year, and then I had the opportunity to get close to the real life of Cambridge, and at the same time I slowly "discovered" Cambridge. I have never seen such great happiness.

To understand Zhimo, you can't help but know the Cambridge of Zhimo.
Before an article "Cambridge as I Know It" was put on file, I only have Cambridge tonight. At this moment, I am the only tourist in Cambridge.
Flat painting
One step forward is to reach the realm of "loneliness" created by yourself. This is the flash of your wisdom, which needs a keen heart to touch. Only with a calm and objective attitude and three "you are looking for" parallelism sentences can you complete a great understanding of life, which comes from the understanding of the soul, and enlightened people have their own understanding smiles. Another example is "dissatisfied life is mostly caused by oneself", "happiness is a child who will never leave his mother's care, and health is a person who will always be close to nature". This kind of epigram-style philosophical phrase, which is divorced from the immediate scenery and reflects personal feelings through meditation, is everywhere in the article. Just like the scattered stars in the night sky, people's eyes are bright and bright.
It can be seen that Zhimo's efforts to choose words, make sentences and imagine metaphors have reached a state of perfection.
If the printmaking technique is similar, one knife is engraved on the drawing board and cannot be altered at will. If you are not sure, how dare you cut it easily? This is also the skill of the most famous painter.
There is no doubt that Zhimo belongs to a talented writer. But when it comes to our beloved Cambridge, our confident poet is worried. You said, "How difficult is it for a person to write about the object he likes, whether it is a person or a place?" ? You are afraid, you are afraid to destroy it, you are afraid to say that you are too annoyed with it, and you are afraid that you are too cautious to let it down. "
How touching this is, isn't it the experience of ordinary people? The most sacred and beloved things are always afraid of being mentioned easily and blaspheming.
Cambridge, a pet in Zhimo's heart, can't finish singing for thousands of times, and certainly doesn't want to talk about and comment on it as a poet. You even asserted, "I can't write well this time." Your worry made me understand at least two meanings: love is a poem written in blood; Secondly, I believe that Zhimo will try his best to draw a Cambridge in his heart for us.
National painting
Follow the time of Zhimo, step by step.
He Kanghe is nearby. I heard your heartbeat. I look at your back, step by step to the place where my heart beats, to the sound of my shoes, to my crying and laughing.
You sighed lightly and said to yourself, "So soon and so far away from that spring?" Isn't it? That special spring has become an eternal season for you and Cambridge. Those unforgettable days have moved your life.
You have seen mountains and rivers, but you don't hesitate to assert, "I dare say Hekang River is the most beautiful water in the world." Even if I have a hundred reasons to question, I don't have the heart to give myself the freedom to question. I think I know how you feel at the moment.
At this time, the concept of He Kang has been stolen and become a symbol of your ideal. You are not a geographer, you don't need the precision and rigor of science. Besides, who can not allow the prejudice that "beauty is in the eye of the beholder"? Your persistence has deeply touched everyone who reads here. Not because of the beauty of He Kang, but because of your infatuation. I can feel your blood burning and flowing between the lines. Zhimo is really crazy about Cambridge.
Immediately, you used the scattered perspective commonly used in Chinese painting to guide me to browse Cambridge from different angles, and gave me three vivid and freehand brushwork China ink paintings:
An idyllic map of the distant He Kang Dam.
Magnificent college building
Extraordinary and realistic Calea three-ring bridge
The first picture: Byron Lake-orchard-the sound of running water under the starlight-the evening bell near the village-the sound of tired cows and straw by the river.
Mysterious layers need to be superimposed again and again, not again and again. Starlight, waves, bells, underwater sound, people, gas field, pen and ink are natural. Not only the imagination is magnificent and colorful, but also it feels strange and full of audio-visual beauty. There is no mysterious image, but it seems to have a mysterious foreshadowing, which makes people have endless thoughts. Unconsciously, it has been shrouded in the mysterious and distant atmosphere brewed by Zhimo. Zhimo itself is completely integrated with things and me, and no one sympathizes.
The second picture: Zhimo did not deliberately depict the college complex, but left a hint of ink meaning blank, giving people room for imagination and endless aftertaste. The suggestive images and artistic conception of Koro's field paintings and Chopin's serenade arouse readers' association and * * *. Just imagine, Zhimo, in the meantime, wearing a square hat and holding a black robe, is so comfortable and radiant. Scenery, people and feelings are integrated into one, becoming the most beautiful painting scene.
The third picture: Kalia Third Ring Bridge, in Zhimo's works, is neither exaggerated nor sharp. However, Zhimo is a master at using hidden characters. He is a "timid wretch", colorful, and immediately injected blood and vitality into an ordinary bridge. The highly magical words are brought to life by Zhimo's fairy-tale magic hand. The small bridge has its own exquisite charm, which is the purity and warmth of "being conceived in an inner room and no one knows her". It doesn't take people away at first sight, it needs
Only by "staring, staring" can she taste her refined beauty. As the ancients said: "Flowers are lascivious, and colors can be effective; The beauty of flowers lies in spirit, and spirit is not made. "This kind of' spirit' needs people to see with their eyes and feel with their hearts. Shi Ma asked, "Do you think there is still a trace of vulgarity? "Of course not. Maybe it really is. Maybe it's just your infatuation. You can't allow yourself to have it again.
Just as it is inappropriate to appreciate a woman who is unkempt in the morning, Zhimo doesn't want me to ruin his Cambridge in an inappropriate weather and climate.
The essence of Zhimo is aesthetic, and the aesthetic Zhimo is just the kind of person Schopenhauer said, "Even if tomorrow is the end of the world, roses will still be planted in the garden tonight." Zhimo can't stand the imperfection of Cambridge.
In my limited knowledge of geography, winter in England is always foggy, but Zhimo says it is "extreme" and "absurd and bad". You used a long Europeanized sentence "You must be willing to go to hell itself when you are blind in the fog", which slowed down the speed of digesting this sentence, lengthened the time and strengthened the sensibility. No one will doubt what a foolish choice it is to visit Cambridge in winter. A word "blind" is enchanted, and the language instantly comes alive and expands to infinity, with a surreal interest.
Or the poet's ambition. After three paintings were finished, they were in the ascendant, and two small poems came at random. The level of musical instruments once again moistens our synaesthesia of hearing, sight, smell and touch, just as two flat beams of sunshine are sown in people's hearts, which makes people immerse themselves in it and enjoy an indescribable gentle touch.
If we say "the spirituality of Cambridge is all on the same river".
Then, He Kang's spirituality lies in its exquisite divine beauty. Cambridge also has its most touching texture.
oil painting
It's just a fleeting freehand ink painting, which is not enough for Zhimo who loves Cambridge. If the third paragraph draws the "line" of Cambridge with the perspective of Chinese painting, then in the fourth paragraph, Zhimo draws the "point" of Cambridge with the perspective of western oil painting. I call this huge oil painting "Cambridge Spring".
Layout? Of course, it depends on you:
Give the "wild vine" grass to the "shin and hoof" of cattle and horses. Give "lonely wicker" a "new nourishment"; Give "drinking cigarettes" to "Jiayin shanzhai"; Give the fairy pose to a girl with a plain skirt and a light pole; Put the robe of spring on Cambridge and return it to Cambridge-with ambition.
The waves of He Kanghe remain the same. You said, rent a boat, just like a long pole boat that is not common elsewhere. -on the water side, you are leaning on a long pole and whispering with a smile, "dreaming?" Holding a long pole/walking to greener grass "seems to never leave." "Who can know the happiness of your deep-water fish? Zhuangzi negative hand didn't answer, but-I think, I know.
There are many twists and turns in the rivers and lakes, and you are slightly cold. I think: the walking posture of a river is not important, what matters is your heart; It doesn't matter whether the ship is well supported or not, what matters is the small feelings and interests of the ship; Whether you are used to city life, don't understand seasonal changes or stay away from the hubbub. What matters is whether you still have a sensitive heart for nature.
Shi Ma is right, human beings are "sick", and the disease lies in "joining the WTO is as deep as a day, and it is as far away from nature as a day". This can't help but remind me of a sentence by the Qing Dynasty painter Shan Dashi: "The more familiar a mortal is, the more resourceful he is;" More wit means less elegance. "We are getting farther and farther away from the realm of Su Dongpo's' human interest is pure music', and the pursuit of pure music is getting weaker and weaker. If you want to be happy with your five senses, you will always encounter greasy, noise and pollution; I'm in a good mood, and I can't find green space for a walk. Sometimes I want to find three or five confidants to sip a cup of hot tea, but I am in the mood and have friends.
Yes, it's just that the tea place is always in the busiest place in the city center. Qing Huan has been squeezed out of this world, and the world is increasingly forced to take pleasure in turbidity and suffer from purity, forgetting the taste of pure life.
Zhimo gave us a prescription-don't forget nature completely.
Not only have you not forgotten, but you have completely integrated yourself into nature and finally completed yourself in the boundless nature.
Look: Zhimo is like a "natural brocade" reading books, watching clouds and embracing the earth on the lawn. You described this place as a paradise for grass. Man gives nature a paradise, and nature returns it to man.
Zhimo walked in the "frost-covered" forest, listening to birds singing, looking forward to the sunrise, looking for flowers waking up in the mud, and experiencing the most subtle and wonderful spring letter. Literally, the scenery is still the beauty of spring that is common in poems of past dynasties. But I only knew how beautiful spring was before, but now I feel how coquettish it is, like a charming little woman who loves to be angry and angry with a young lady.
Her breath, her body temperature, is close at hand, within reach. That is the life of forcing people to go on blind dates.
Zhimo climbed the Tukou along the "Water-soluble Avenue", distanced himself from Cambridge, and then enjoyed Cambridge. This is a passage that can best reflect the artistic style of Zhimo in the full text. Integration of personification, parallelism, metaphor, repetition and Europeanization. No matter the innovation of language, the fusion of images, the grasp of rhythm, and the creation of some high atmosphere that is difficult to announce to the public, it is incomparable to ordinary travel prose. Step by step, it is difficult for readers to force a fresh spring Cambridge from the depths of their hearts.
Zhimo followed the smell of grass and the breeze, and rode his bicycle for a long time to "meet the weekdays on the horizon", to love flowers, birds and human feelings, to steal the tenderness of the evening scenery and to seek dreams in the green grass.
Although, I can't say, "Take a book, walk ten miles, choose a clean place, watch the sky, listen to birds and read." When I am tired, I dream on the grass. "This pastime is too heavy, but how can I immediately stop this mysterious myth? You're just dreaming. Why don't you wake up? Spring is far away and autumn dew is heavy. Do you have a robe to keep out the cold? Will there be a handful of snow burning in Tang poetry?
It's just that you are dreaming. Why don't you come back? When the wind turned to page 36, it stopped, became an orphan in the history of literature, and Cambridge became your swan song. You clearly promised us that "you can only write briefly tonight and make up for it when there is a party later." However, we have gone home like a standout, leaving us with an empty heart to go to Cambridge and wait until now. If you can be like a firebird, resurrect from the ashes after self-immolation, return to the boundless land, and see your long-lost Cambridge, which has leaned over to others. What will happen to the island?
You are really a man of true temperament. You once publicly said to me, "I have only one spring in my life. Poor thing, I have never wasted it." "I have never experienced greater happiness than this."
Love must be close to delusion and reality. I didn't expect to see the world of Zhimo, and your happiness is so narrow and small that it can only accommodate the next Cambridge. Your persistence made me want to cry. ...
I'm thinking, I've been thinking, how good it would be to give Zhimo another year of spring in Cambridge. On second thought, in fact, in the flow of time, nothing is absolutely long or short, as long as you can truly feel the richness of life, the moment is eternal.
At the end of the article, two sunset photos can't be ignored anyway. It is not written on paper, nor engraved on the drawing board, but engraved in Zhimo's heart.
Also try to let yourself cross the fence and watch the wind drive a flock of sheep head on, and the sunset shines from their backs, turning them into golden transparent body. Who can doubt that they are not a group of heavenly spirits? Who can't feel the oppression of the opposite sex? The beauty of nature sometimes makes people cry. Our poet kneeling in front of nature is the most vivid and eye-catching finishing touch in this painting. As long as a little, the natural landscape will be upgraded to a human landscape.
The level of the environment.
The poppies on the grassland in the sunset once again dazzled my vision. What is it like? The most figurative figure, Zhimo, miserly used ellipsis and became a blank in the painting. One hundred readers have one hundred imaginations, and the space and depth of imagination are infinitely vast.
Shima is collecting pens. There must be something you won't say; How many feelings are hidden in your pocket, you won't tell people easily. Maybe April dusk, Cambridge knows April dusk.
But Zhimo gave us an abrupt ending: "Who knows my homesickness". How can you say homesickness so easily? Cambridge may be someone else's hometown, but it must be your foreign land. Read it again and again, and you will have an epiphany.
Physically, you are a passer-by, but spiritually, Cambridge is your home, and it is the hometown of Zhimo's soul!
In the article "Mourning for Zhimo", Hu Shi once summed up Zhimo's ideal in this way: "His outlook on life is really a kind of' simple belief', and there are only three big characters in it: one is love, the other is freedom, and the third is beauty. He dreams that these three ideals can meet in his life. " Love, freedom and beauty are all about Cambridge.
Therefore, Cambridge is no longer synonymous with a group of colleges in Zhimo's mind, but an aesthetic view, a carrier of fraternity, a symbol of freedom, and an ideal lifestyle and realm. It is the sublimation of metaphysical feelings.
Some people express their feelings with brushes, some people express their feelings with their eyes, and some people express their feelings with words. Zhimo's heart is like the third landscape in Cambridge. You exchange hearts with people who read it. As you said, "To open other people's hearts, you must first open your own."
I think: a good article depends on "full of literary spirit", which is the soul of the article and the best way to see whether the work is perfect or not. This essay became the masterpiece of China's early modern travel prose and the pinnacle of Xu Zhimo's prose, firstly because it was touching, and secondly because of its perfect artistic form. What is touching is the real investment of Zhimo.
"A truly shocking work must be directed at the true heart, write the true nature of human nature, and touch the true nature of human nature, so that readers can feel sympathy." This article is it.
Zhimo depicts the flesh and bones of Cambridge, but what we get is its god; The outline is the point, line and surface of Cambridge, but we enter the whole gallery. Consciously or unintentionally, I want to think what Zhimo thinks, feel what Zhimo feels and understand what Zhimo understands. I only promised myself to follow the train of thought of Zhimo and echo the irresistible lead with my inner trembling. Cambridge is out of reach, but our dreams and longings have been realized for us with a pen. Although Cambridge is beautiful, it is also well written by Zhimo, and it is difficult to write enough about this Cambridge.
The spirit of literature and art is also passionate in the lingering sound, which is beyond words. Let us be shocked by the extraordinary talent of Zhimo again and again. Among the perfect art forms in this paper, the most beautiful and attractive is the language art of Zhimo, which is worth mentioning.
Europeanized long sentences are often used in landscape writing, which prolongs the time for readers to "digest" a sentence and slows down the pace, just like walking leisurely through mountains and rivers; While writing feelings, short sentences are often used to express the urgency and enthusiasm of feelings. Or use long sentences to gently hold up a string of short sentences, or long short sentences appear in disorder, so that the length is alternating, patchwork, fast and slow, forming a kind of ups and downs of rhythmic beauty.
Proper use of repetition and parallelism makes the language have a strong sense of rhythm and music, and it is full of flexible music scores, and even writes a paper full of echoes and music.
Zhimo's easy operation of the language not only makes it accurate, but also gives it "living" life, the ability to seek new connections with the language, and the choice of words with strong functions make the inner world of the language rich, colorful and expressive. Twists rather than straight lines, ups and downs rather than flat. Sometimes it's straight to the point, sometimes it's a nine-song corridor, sometimes it's prosperous, sometimes it's sinking, which is both a blow and an ambush on all sides. It's durable, but it's not interesting. The depth of skill has reached the realm of forgetting friends.
This makes me always have an illusion in the process of enjoying reading: what I read is obviously an essay, but what I actually get is a good poem. Even if you are tired, you can read poetry, its artistic conception and the charm of its language.
I feel fresh every time I look at it. "Cambridge as I Know It" can be read once, because it-the language is similar; But maybe I can't finish reading it many times because it's too far away. Is it most appropriate to move Shen Deqian, a poetry critic in Qing Dynasty, to this place?
I left quietly/just as I came quietly/I waved my sleeves/I didn't take a cloud with me.
Zhimo did leave quietly, but it was the Cambridge that he couldn't swing or take away. It stayed in England as a college building and in the history of China literature as a beautiful article full of life. Cambridge in nature will be old, but Cambridge in words will remain in the hearts of all readers who love Zhimo forever.
