Appreciation of Yu Guangzhong's "Zu Su Cun Xin" Who knows, please tell me

Because the tribe wants to compile a book on the origin of surnames, I have recently received some beautiful handwritten letters. Although they only talk about small things such as collecting information and modifying text, the elders in the village who have received private school education His classical classical Chinese, delicate regular script, and long-lost titles and signatures made me feel faintly excited. This handwriting has not been obtained for a long time. Not only that, how many letters have been received in recent years, those letters written on letter paper and stamped? Although they are all collected, they can still be counted one by one. Nowadays, the most commonly used communication methods are MSN, QQ, email, and mobile phone text messages. How fast, convenient and direct it is. Mr. Yu Guangzhong wrote an article called "The Size of the Heart" and believed that receiving letters from friends is indeed a great joy in life, provided that "if there is no need to reply to the letter." Today, replying to a letter is probably not difficult. Setting up a program to automatically reply "Email has been received" can relieve his troubles. Even if you sit in front of the computer and reply to a letter in person, it is very simple. Today's e-mails often have the beginning and end omitted. There is no need for a title at the beginning, no "salute" at the end, and the signature and date can be omitted. There are only a few crosses, and it is as simplified as a mobile phone text message. This is a popular practice, and there is no need to seek any etiquette. If you think it is not respectful enough, it will make everyone unhappy. You can do this with MSN, QQ, email, and text messages, but not with letters. Who writes and replies like this? To calm down and write under the lamp, one needs to have a correct and serious attitude, carefully consider every word, be affectionate, sign solemnly, sign the date, then stuff it into an envelope, write the address, affix a stamp, and put it in the mailbox. The whole process is A solemn ceremony. The development of modern civilization sometimes comes at the expense of the demise or simplification of rituals. Now use a computer to quickly type out a few lines of text on the keyboard, and click the mouse to send it immediately. It is convenient and fast, but precisely because of the disappearance of the ceremony, an emotion no longer follows. Looking at the letter again, how many beautiful memories have we had? In the corner, under the lamp, under the quilt, because the words written one by one, and the faces and emotions emerging behind the words, were so exciting and unsettling. In the early 1990s, I was studying in college. The letters from home had many different characters and required dialect to read, but every letter I received made me think about it for several days. Reading e-mails today is often done in a hasty manner. This is not only because of the legibility of words, but also because of the simplification of emotions. The privacy of emotions is actually inherently wary of those stereotyped square words. This is the best way to write and read letters. My experience is that if you send and receive emails, your emotions will naturally go away. I feel inexplicably that this thing derived from modern life is not reliable or trustworthy. So, email is great for work and talking about things, but for relationships, just skip it. High technology brings great convenience to the transmission of information, but it also brings great dilemmas to preservation. Although emails can be saved, they have to be deleted over time. If you bother to set up a separate folder to save it, you will inevitably have to edit or annotate it, but if you get a virus or change the computer, it will still disappear suddenly. I see that so many letters from the past have been compiled into books today and have become important historical materials and texts, but can they still be continued in the age of email? Text messages on mobile phones are even worse. They are almost impossible to retain. The lovers are in love, and they exchange dozens or hundreds of hot text messages a day, and they all change every few days. Unlike the love letters of the past, you can keep reading them and never get tired of reading them.

But given today’s volatile emotions, it’s not surprising. Only by covering things quickly and forgetting them quickly can we “dazzle”!
