Spring is an ode to youth.
At the beginning of the work, I wrote: "Looking forward, looking forward, the east wind is coming, and the pace of spring is approaching." The overlapping of the two words "looking forward to" strengthens people's expectation for spring. "The footsteps of spring are near", which personifies spring. It seems that spring is striding towards us. Look: "everything looks like it just woke up, and I opened my eyes with joy." The mountains are moist, the water is growing, and the sun is blushing. " At first, the author describes the spring scenery in general, and draws a picture of the revival of everything in spring returns.
Then, the author introduced five close-ups to describe the moving scene of spring in detail.
The first close-up is spring grass: "The grass sneaks out of the soil, tender and green." The author not only wrote the tender green and softness of spring grass, but also photographed its allure to people: people "sit and lie down, roll two times, kick a few balls, race several times and catch a few times of hide-and-seek" on the grass The greenery here is no longer a simple natural scenery, but a dear companion of people's lives-the scenery has become a sentimental thing.
The second close-up is flowers and trees competing for glory: "Peach trees, apricot trees and pear trees, you won't let me, I won't let you, and they are all full of flowers. Red is like fire, pink is like chardonnay and white is like snow. " Not only the flowers of fruit trees compete with each other, but also wild flowers are everywhere. Flowers also attract countless bees to "buzz" and butterflies to dance with their unique color and fragrance. These descriptions vividly show the atmosphere of spring. The author is not satisfied with the reproduction of natural colors, but also writes on the wings of imagination: the flower of fruit tree "has a sweet taste and closes its eyes, and the tree seems to be full of peaches, Xinger and pears." Imagination not only broadens the horizon of description, but also renders the loveliness of spring flowers from the perspective of the future.
the third close-up is the spring breeze. Compared with spring flowers, spring breeze is not easy to describe. Zhu Ziqing's description of the spring breeze mainly captures two points, one is the softness of the spring breeze, and the other is its function of transmitting sound and sending flavor. The author first describes the warmth and softness of the spring breeze with the poem "Blowing the face without chilling the willow wind" written by monk Zhinan in the Southern Song Dynasty. He was afraid that the reader would not understand it easily, and immediately came a copy that everyone could understand: "Like a mother's hand touching you." The wind brings the smell of newly turned earth, mixed with the smell of grass, and the fragrance of various flowers, all brewing in the slightly moist air. The author writes about the spring breeze from the perspective of flavor transmission, which not only strengthens the atmosphere of spring, but also naturally connects this paragraph with the description of grass and flowers in the previous two paragraphs. The spring breeze also sends the singing of spring birds and the flute sound of the shepherd boy into people's eardrums, "in harmony with the light wind and flowing water." The author describes the spring breeze from many aspects, and makes this thing, which was not easy to express, vivid.
the fourth close-up is the spring rain. Zhu Ziqing wrote about the continuous spring rain in the south: "Look, it's like ox hair, like a flower needle, like a filament, and it's densely woven. There is a thin layer of smoke on the roof." This kind of rain makes the leaves "bright green, and the grass is green enough to force your eyes". Rainy night, a little yellow light, "set off a quiet and peaceful night." During the day, "farmers working in the fields are covered with withers and hats"-this is like a spring rain farming map.
The fifth close-up is about people's activities in the spring. The first four pictures are mainly about natural scenery, and this picture highlights people's actions: "Every family in the city and countryside, old and young, they are also rushing." They all came out one by one. Relax and relax, be full of energy, and do your own thing. " In spring, flowers bloom in a hurry; In order to welcome the Spring Festival, people go out of their homes "as if they were in a hurry". In spring, flowers strive for glory, to outdo each other; People's "one year's plan lies in spring", and they also devote themselves to their work in the spirit of seizing every minute.
On the basis of looking forward to and painting spring, the work finally sings a hymn to spring:
Spring is like a newly born doll, new from head to toe, and it grows.
spring is like a little girl, beautifully dressed, smiling and walking.
Spring is like a strong young man with iron arms, waist and feet. He leads us forward.
here, the author uses three figurative parallelism sentences to illustrate that spring is fresh, beautiful, cheerful and has strong vitality; Humans should also follow the pace of spring to create a beautiful and happy life.
Spring is an excellent essay describing natural scenery. Compared with the previous similar themes, Moonlight on the Lotus Pond and Qinhuai River in the Shadow of Paddle Lights, people feel that it has two outstanding variations: First, its emotional style is different; The second is the change of language style. Reading Moonlight on the Lotus Pond and Qinhuai River in the Shadow of Paddle Lights makes people feel the author's faint sadness, while the emotional tone of Spring is relaxed, happy and full of vitality. Why is this so? I guess there are at least two reasons: first, this article is a Chinese textbook written by Zhu Ziqing for middle schools. Starting from cultivating young people's enterprising spirit, the author adopts a corresponding positive and optimistic emotional tone. The second is the youthful vitality of the work, which reflects the author's mood when writing. Spring was probably written in the second half of 1932 or early 1933. In August 1932, shortly after Zhu Ziqing returned to China after roaming in Europe, he married Ms. Chen Zhuyin happily, and in September of the same year, he became the head of the literature department of China, Tsinghua University. In April, 33, I had another baby. The prosperity and happiness in Zhu Ziqing's life cannot but have an impact on the lyrical style of Spring. The author's optimistic feelings make the works blend with scenes and combine poetry with painting. From the perspective of language, the language of Moonlight on the Lotus Pond and Qinhuai River in the Shadow of Paddle Lights is beautiful, but it has traces of carving and is not natural enough. The language in Spring is simple, vivid and colloquial. Such as writing grass, "in the garden, in the field, look, a large area is full of yes"; Write flowers, "you won't let me, I won't let you, all of them are full of flowers to catch up." These languages are extracted from life, lively, lively, short and expressive. In order to describe spring better, the author also uses various rhetorical methods such as metaphor and personification to make spring visual and personalized. The last part of the article quoted above is the best example of this. Zhu Ziqing is really a master of language. He uses his writing style to bring the short spring back from nature to writing, so that it can be seen all the year round.
Reading Notes: Spring
It took me a day and a half to finish reading Spring, and I wanted to finish eating Autumn while the iron was hot, but I really had too much to say, so I began to regret reading Home.
To my surprise, Spring brought me stronger and deeper shock than Home, but without Home as a foreshadowing, there would be no wonderful story of Spring. Home records the ups and downs of each character, so whenever the past is mentioned in Spring, my thoughts will return to Home with the protagonist. As a sequel to Home, Spring not only develops the plot of Home, but also continues the fate development of those flesh-and-blood characters.
The characters in Grandpa Ba Jin's works are typical.
Chueh-hsin
Chueh-hsin in Spring is more tragic than Home, but he is still entangled in the contradiction between lucidity of thought and weakness of behavior. However, successive blows have caused him to collapse and despair again and again, and the balance in his heart finally leans towards Qin and Chueh-min, a progressive young man with ideas and courage, so he escaped from the Gaos family like helping Chueh-hui.
Chueh-hsin is my favorite character. After two works, he is one of the best characters created by Grandpa Ba Jin. Chueh-hsin is an out-and-out poor man. For various reasons, he can't control his own destiny. He is so miserable and can't bear to watch his closest relatives die one after another, and his siblings denounce his non-resistance. He frankly admits that he is such a person, but he still lives with forbearance. But I can't hate him, and my sympathy and regret for him are always more than resentment.
When he cherished Haichen as life, he gave Haichen the only warmth and hope of his life.
When he apparently promised Keming to take care of Shuying's marriage, he secretly helped Shuying escape with Chueh-min and Chin.
I'm beginning to think Chueh-hsin is becoming cute.
Although he didn't dare to love, hate and fight like Chueh-min and Qin, he was actually the most typical, authentic and complicated intellectual image of that era. It was through Chueh-hsin's actions and feelings that I really understood the helplessness of people in that feudal era and the value of having progressive ideas. It was from his inner contradictions and pains that I really felt the hesitation and helplessness of young people in that era.
Chueh-hsin is not a figure to be praised by Grandpa Ba Jin, but his tragic fate is a powerful evidence to criticize feudal autocracy. He is a product of the times and a victim of the times, and his fate is the most bumpy and regrettable.
The two tasks of Chueh-min and Qin
were the "non-mainstream" of that feudal era. At that time, the mainstream of society was the old ethics and old ideas, and most people foolishly followed the footsteps of hypocritical "guardians" like Feng Leshan. Hui was killed by feudal superstition, so Chueh-min and Qin kept declaring: We are not attacking one person, we are attacking the whole system! In the end, they won, and Shu Ying became the second Chueh-hui. With their encouragement and help, she successfully left home. "I know that spring is ours." When I saw this sentence in Shu Ying's letter to Qin, I couldn't help crying. I was moved by Shu Ying's "spring", rejoiced that she dared to pursue happiness and ideals, and even more happy that she had a fresh life to break the old system cage! Get rid of all the old systems and ideas. Spring will always belong to us! ! !
sword cloud.
This young man who has always followed Chueh-min and others in calling Chueh-hsin "Big Brother" is always a morbid young man. He and Chueh-hsin have some similarities to some extent. He called himself a "Promethean", and he was full of pessimism and despair about his fate. Only when he saw the girl he loved, his face showed a little blood and some enthusiasm. But his feelings are very subtle. In Home, he likes the piano, but he dare not let her know. In "Spring", he is deeply in love with Shuying, and he is eager to do something for Shuying, so he is very determined (perhaps the only time in his life) to say to Shuying: "If one day you need help, there is someone who is willing to sacrifice everything for your sake." Finally, he really did. He offered to escort Shuying to Shanghai, and he took care of Shuying all the way until the last moment of his life.
Grandpa Ba Jin's language is very infectious, which makes me completely walk into the novel, as if I were Chueh-hsin, Chueh-min, Qin and Shu-ying. Their fate is my fate. I will fight with them, resist together and welcome the spring together!
