? Personal thoughts after reading "Wang Zengqi's Prose"
? "Wang Zengqi's Prose" was something I accidentally bought in the market last year. I remember it was a pirated book. At that time, little was known about Mr. Wang, except that he should be considered a famous writer.
?In my spare time, I started reading "Wang Zengqi's Prose" in a lazy mood. Unexpectedly, I couldn't put it down after reading it.
?Reading "Wang Zengqi's Prose" is like listening to a historical old man who experienced the Anti-Japanese War and the Liberation War telling us the little things in life, and while listening, these little things in life seem to be more important. It is an invisible humanities and historical education.
?In "Wang Zengqi's Prose", we see the style of the former professors of Southwest Associated University, and we read people's judgments on politics and culture at that time. We are like reading the story of an old man in history.
?In "Wang Zengqi's Prose", we read about the unyielding pride of Chinese literati and saw the diligent pursuit of ideas and scholarship by Chinese scholars in a difficult environment...
Mr. Wang tells us the past events in a humanistic style and conveys to us various spirits and ideas that can be learned.
Reading "Wang Zengqi's Prose" is like reading history, and it is even more like learning how to behave in the world from many sages and living thoughtful elders!
After reading Mr. Wang’s book, I believe everyone can understand that in fact, China does not lack cultural masters and prose masters, we just lack opportunities for learning and cognition. After reading this book, it might be a joke to say that there are no prose writers in China!
?Wang Zengqi’s book, if you don’t read it, you will regret it, but if you read it, you won’t regret it!
? Personal thoughts after reading "Wang Zengqi's Prose"
?Who is Wang Zengqi? It seems that I have heard it. Recommended by Chinese teacher. reason? The style of writing is simple and the writing style is light, worthy of the taste of "I" who is fond of making empty words and big words.
?I borrowed Wang Zengqi’s collection of essays and flipped through them. The article is indeed full of life, but the taste does not seem to be strong.
?......
?I just put Wang's article on hold. But that night, I felt restless and exhausted, so I picked up Wang's collection of essays and randomly turned to "Xishan Hakka". As I read, my brows no longer furrowed, and my mouth no longer complained. I was completely attracted by the charming scenery described in the simple words - "There is a patch of apricot trees in front of the mountain, with about a trunk. A thousand apricot trees are in bloom, which is very spectacular. Looking from a distance, a light red The sea is like steaming clouds, making people dazzled. "There is a magnolia on one side of the alley. It is said to be planted in the Ming Dynasty. It is as high as the building. When it blooms, its petals are like jade pieces and its stamens are like yellow. "A goose, a tree of light"...
?It turns out that simple words can depict such a gorgeous picture, and it turns out that we can discover such a glorious beauty with our eyes.
?Look! Wang Lao wrote like this - "There are many hermits in Xishan. They have unparalleled reputations and only want to stick to their true self. Live or take a nap in Badachu Villa, be an idler, climb the stairs in the morning, watch the evening birds in the forest, spring flowers and autumn moon, The rise and fall of honor and disgrace depend on one mind, but "the cold state is related to the eye's plan, the sound of camp is related to the body's plan, the leisurely and empty person is related to the divine plan, the deep and still is related to the heart plan", indifferent and tranquil, and the heart is still like a river, not only Abandoning the hustle and bustle of the city, you can forget about things and see your true nature, as if you were hiding in the wild. ”
? This is Mr. Wang’s philosophy of life - indifference to clarify aspirations, tranquility to reach far!
?I suddenly realized that a quiet heart is as clear and distant as the silent night.
?Since then, I have begun to enjoy reading Mr. Wang’s prose. Savor life and mood with the elderly.
?Wang Laoding is a foodie, I thought to myself, smiling evilly. You see, his non-descript words can make people salivate. Let’s take a look at the article "Tofu" - "Chinese toon mixed with tofu is the best in tofu. The young toon head, the buds and leaves are not yet stretched, the color is purple-red, the smell is fragrant, add boiling water and scald it slightly, the stems and leaves will turn green, Take it out, rub it with fine salt, wait for it to cool, cut it into pieces, mix it with the tofu, and add a few drops of sesame oil. Eat it with chopsticks and remember the spring. ”
? Home-cooked dishes, home-cooked articles, home-cooked food. mood.
Mr. Wang recalled his old friends in unpretentious words, but he also vividly and vividly presented the characters full of personality. Look at this paragraph in his "Two or Three Things About Comrade Zhao Shuli" - "Comrade Zhao Shuli serves as the deputy editor of "Rap and Rap". He does not just have a name. He personally reads and revise the manuscripts in each issue. It is often time to publish the article. There was no suitable manuscript yet, so he took the manuscripts that had passed the first and second review into the room and read them one by one. He threw the ones that were not good enough and left the whole room in a mess. Suddenly he found a good one. He was overjoyed when he received the manuscript and handed it over to the editorial department. He called this editing method the 'survival method'. In such words, besides liking Mr. Zhao Shuli, I also like Mr. Wang Zengqi even more.
?...
?Most of Mr. Wang's prose is in this style, with plainness and far-sightedness.
?I think the flavor of Mr. Wang’s prose has become stronger.
?Some people will say that homely articles are not worth reading. But I think there are two things worth learning from Mr. Wang's prose: First, the writing does not seek to be pretentious, and the writing style is approachable and avoids the trend of glamour. Secondly, no matter in writing or as a person, you must always maintain an optimistic and calm attitude, and be able to understand "family life" with tolerance.
?This is Wang Zengqi and his "homely articles" in my eyes.
? Personal thoughts after reading "Wang Zengqi's Prose"
? "The taste of the world has become as thin as gauze in the past few years. Who makes people ride on horseback in Beijing? The small building listens to the spring rain all night, and the deep alley sells apricot flowers in the Ming Dynasty." I am making grass leisurely on a slanted line of paper, and I am sharing tea with my thin breasts by the dark window. I am not sighing in the dust, and I am still home at the Qingming Festival."
? It is different from Lu You's well-known poem that expresses the ambition of serving the country and avenging shame. , this poem shows us the daily life of a scholar-bureaucrat, and his leisurely mood is uncontaminated by the worldly world.
? Mr. Wang likes this poem. It is better to say that he likes this state of mind, which has the flavor of life. "New leeks in early spring, late spring leeks in late autumn" is what Wang Zengqi used to evaluate his own prose. He likes a sparse and light style, deeply attracted by the fragrance of nature, and his narrative is plain, reserved and restrained.
?His feeling about life seems to be a little leisurely like that of a truant. The world is only so big: the slightly sweet grass roots in his mouth, the stench all over him in order to catch the "duluo" Sesame seeds, Miao girls’ tender and soft “selling bayberry——” sound, and hydrangeas quietly “sucking water” on the windowsill, this is life, it can even be said to be an art, and he truly and personally enjoys this art. . The Tongcheng School pays attention to the "literary spirit" in writing articles. Wang Zengqi's articles are very "literary". The "spiritual" is very full, suppressing, raising, pausing and setting back. The whole article seems impossible and has a loose structure, but it has a strong sense of style. "Qi" is connected, "great skill is like clumsiness". Another point is that Wang Zengqi's language is quite good, seemingly plain, full of charm, and leaves blank spaces. When Wang Zengqi wrote about his teacher Shen Congwen, he did not write about how talented and diligent Mr. Shen was, but about how Mr. Shen had an incomprehensible Xiangxi dialect; when writing about Zhang Junqiu, he wrote about how Zhang Junqiu could eat and put on his makeup after eating. Another twenty dumplings; the story about Jin Yuelin accepting Chairman Mao's advice to get in touch with society, and riding a tricycle in Wangfujing to look around - these are all things that express the character's character and characteristics, and Wang Zengqi captured them calmly.
?He is a different kind of writer. He is different from today’s writers who sit at home or in the office with their eyes fixed on the screen, their fingers flying on the keyboard, and their nerves almost destroyed by the constant stream of phone calls. Same. His articles and books seem to have been touched by him thousands of times. The smell between the lines is the smell of wooden pencils, rather than the coldness of machines. I can see a strong old man holding a pencil with his protruding hand, with a calm and calm smile. His delicate and emotional strokes give himself and us a small surprise and touch from time to time. For a small child The pure white osmanthus flowers with raindrops on the plate, or for a big fish that suddenly jumped out of the middle of the lake, or the waiter's Beijing accent "Collecting tea money——", they interpret the meaning of the story in a way that nourishes people's hearts. There is an ancient oriental saying that "the most brilliant things turn into dull things". Blandness is the truth. Blandness is a state of life, a realm, and a kind of understanding. While trying to make us feel the beauty, I clearly heard a kind voice saying to the busy people: "Children, walk slowly. Look at the color of this begonia, it looks like the rouge of a lady." It accidentally slipped from my fingertips and dipped into the petals. It’s so beautiful.”
The biggest feature of Wang Zengqi’s prose is its lightness. His prose just remembers some past events, or places of interest, and so on. He seems to pick them up at random, narrate them in a eloquent way, and stop at the point, leaving a lot of blank space for people to ponder and think. After the author's seemingly careless handling of those random things, they are immediately filled with a graceful and generous atmosphere, which is a true sense of intelligence and wisdom. In recent years, there have been a lot of deep things in the literary world, and articles are full of articles that are mysterious or unpredictable. Comparing Wang Zengqi, you will find that the latter has a great demeanor, while the former is just a group of smart-alecks, they are not "real monks". It can be said that true monks speak the most common things.
