2. Talk about the artistic charm of Wisteria Waterfall
The artistic charm of this article first lies in its profound conception.
As a kind of prose, the harmony between natural landscape and subjective emotion is very important. The scenery described in the article is not only colorful and dazzling, but also subtle and vivid. The depiction of wisteria in the works is both concrete and abstract, realistic and ethereal. It presents us with a sketch of wisteria color, rather than deliberately writing about the blooming life. The author relies on the momentum and vitality formed by gorgeous colors. Wisteria's life after birth is extremely vigorous. As for the description of the shape of each flower spike, it is simply a hymn of vitality. Therefore, the author can't help but say that this fresh life has taken away her anxiety and sorrow about life and death, brotherhood and everything, and made her gain spiritual peace and joy of life. However, Hua's life path is not smooth sailing, it is the same as people. In the course of history, I have encountered all kinds of helplessness and artificial distortions. So when the author turned from visual description to taste induction, he naturally turned from spatial description to time review, which made people feel the vicissitudes of history in the review of wisteria's fate. Flowers bloom and fall with the ups and downs of life, and Huarong's flowers bloom and fall with the rise and fall of the times and society. At this point, wisteria is no longer a pure natural creature, but a symbol, symbolizing the rebirth of life. It symbolizes the change of the times, the nirvana of the spirit, the immortality of beauty and the reappearance of the flower of the soul. The author's praise of Wisteria Waterfall is the inspiration of the lyrical subject to the natural image, her call for vitality, her spiritual sustenance to seek excitement after physical and mental robbery, and her heartbeat to get rid of the heavy burden in the vicissitudes of history.
Secondly, delicate description and exquisite structure are also the characteristics of this paper.
The writing of the article is delicate and full of layers, with colorful pictures, morphological pictures and fragrant, from external image to internal essence, from visual image to taste perception, rich in ink and changeable in brushstrokes.
The article is short and pithy. From "can't help but stop" to "can't help but speed up", the structure of ink collection echoes back and forth, end to end, and the structure is tight, giving people a sense of unity.
The above is the artistic charm of Wisteria Falls, from which we can see the extraordinary brushwork of Zong Pu's prose creation.

3. On the linguistic beauty of Wisteria Falls
Zong Pu believes that "good words" are the necessary conditions for good prose. She stated: "In fact, good words are not in words, such as beauty is not in clothes, clothes are confusing, and natural beauty is not hidden. Even not only looks good, but also temperament and cultivation. " (Truth, insight, good words) shows the author's pursuit.
Zong Pu's elegant articles have always been praised. One of the main features of this language is the extensive use of various forms of metaphor. Needless to say, the most common similes, metaphors and metonymies are described here only in their special forms:
Metaphor of (1) cohesion
Wisteria Waterfall, Butterfly Array Surrounded by Bees and Long River of Life convey the richest information in the simplest words.
(2) Extended metaphor
"Every blooming flower is like a small full sail, with a sharp cabin at the bottom and a bulging cabin; It's like a smile that I can't help laughing. " "I touched the purple flower cabin, which was full of wine of life, raised full sails and sailed on the river shining with flowers." The river of flowers led by sails is no longer lonely and independent, and some connection between metaphors constitutes an artistic conception, which expands the scope of imagination and increases the connotation of language.
(3) Synaesthesia
Wisteria "seems to be flowing, smiling and growing". "The fragrance is like lavender, and it covers me gently like a dream." It conveys the author's feelings to readers more truly and completely in words.
All these colorful metaphors form a colorful picture, which dazzles readers. These rhetorical devices are widely used not only to pursue the beauty of language, but also to show the author's emotional attitude. When we ponder over the article and appreciate its language art, especially figurative rhetoric, we should pay attention to its emotional value is always greater than its visual value.
4. The pursuit of beauty in Wisteria Falls
The beauty of Wisteria Falls is shown in the following aspects:
Beauty lies in the rendering of blooming vines. The author's rendering of vines is very touching. What a lush tree flower is in front of us! They are colorful, unstoppable and full of vitality; A brilliant lilac flower presents a clear tone, hanging down from the air like a waterfall, showing a majestic momentum. The little silver light on the purple banner reveals the joy of life. In the description, the author uses exaggeration and metaphor to write curves, dynamics, brilliance, cheerfulness, vividness and enthusiasm. This shows that beautiful vines are the main body of the full text, and the author writes about beauty, life and vitality.
The beauty lies in the pervasion of lavender in the whole text. Soft lavender permeates the whole text, full of poetry and profound meaning. Bright and soft colors are not only used to express wisteria. When I stand in front of the splendid lavender, when I stand in front of the Wisteria Waterfall and stare, when I caress the wine full of life. When I "quickened my pace" in the brilliance and fragrance of lavender, what I felt, tasted and experienced must be not only the gorgeous beauty of color, but also the beauty, joy and brilliance of life, which shocked me and made me feel the peace of mind.
Beauty lies in the energetic "flow". The word "flow" runs through the whole text, and truth and reality keep pace. It sometimes writes about the beauty and movement of flowers, and the waterfall of flowers "seems to be flowing, laughing and growing"; Sometimes writing about the beauty of flowers soothes the soul of "me", "I feel that this wisteria waterfall is not only in front of me, but also slowly flowing in my heart"; Sometimes writing about the blooming vines will bring people a new, beautiful, powerful and happy feeling. "The purple waterfall ... keeps flowing, keeps flowing, and keeps flowing into people's hearts"; Sometimes, it shows a profound and implicit meaning-"it is just one of every flower, forming a beautiful flowing waterfall."
There is a big wisteria in America. It not only painted the article with the color of the times, but also laid the foundation for the author's lyric discussion. "10 years ago" is a worrying era, and the life of wisteria plants outside the house was strangled. As a "flower", it suffered the misfortune of losing its life. Now wisteria plants are brilliant.
The beauty lies in writing the ambition. What impressed us deeply in this article is the lyrics "Flowers and people will encounter all kinds of misfortunes, but the long river of life is endless", which is particular about the topic. Writing flowers means writing people, and writing flowers means writing times. If we say that the misfortune of writing flowers is to write about the progress of the times, it shows the high morale of people in the progress of the times and the society in the new era.
American literature needs beautiful reading. "Pursuing beauty" will give us a deeper and better understanding.

5. Zong Pu's life track and campus complex.
What kind of life path has Zong Pu taken? When you open the author's resume, what you see is a scholarly atmosphere similar to the elegant charm in his works. Zong Pu's experience is different from that of most writers. Unlike Shi Tuo, Tian Tao and other writers of the older generation, she climbed up the hall of knowledge step by step from the bottom of China society. Unlike Ba Jin and Xie Bingying, she fled the old landlord family and flowed into the city, forming a generation of "Bohemians" as Qu Qiubai said; Different from a large number of educated youth writers emerging in the new era, she left books and family in her youth and even adolescence to explore the value of life in poverty, ignorance and confusion. Even a generation of young people who grew up after the "Cultural Revolution" rarely had such a unique learning and parenting foundation. She is a beautiful orchid, lucky to sprout and grow in a pure land far from poverty and filth. As Charlotte said, she has a pure memory of "an inexhaustible and refreshing spring". Her living environment is basically confined to institutions of higher learning and academic research institutions. Because she was nurtured in a harmonious, honest and elegant academic atmosphere from an early age, she laid a lifelong rule for her life and writing. She did have an enviable childhood. This is probably why Zong Pu's works always have a spirit of everyone, a harmonious state that others can't learn, and even a straightforward "student accent".
In the university campus where Zong Pu lived when he was a child, the living conditions of professors were extremely superior, and there was no danger of "hanging upside down" today. Comfortable life and noble status make hard-working professors concentrate on their books (of course, it will be different after the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War), and their children can also get better education and more cultural nourishment than their peers in a relatively simple and clear world. Of course, on the other hand, they are too simple and bookish, and will inevitably suffer more hardships and setbacks in their later lives. I happen to have a copy of Tsinghua Alumni Newsletter published by 1990 at hand. I might as well take some paragraphs and make a more detailed footnote for Qingyuan World written by Zong Pu. Zong Pu's contemporary, the daughter of Yu Zhenyong, a famous expert in literature and history, and Yu Peicao, a student of National Southwest Associated University 1943, once described the tranquility and elegance of Tsinghua campus in his childhood, as well as the superiority and uniqueness of Tsinghua's human landscape. She said, "At that time, there were only the primary school attached to Tsinghua (Chengzhi Primary School attended by Zong Pu mentioned by Feng Youlan) and the affiliated kindergartens. Ma Yuehan is our headmaster. ..... was later taught by Mrs. Cai Shunli, who is also a student studying in the United States. " Children who grow up under such conditions are really not as good as ordinary people. And what was the living environment of the children at that time? "The Type I Hall in Tsinghua, Shui Mu ... is elegant and cool, with a smell of nanmu. Single professors Wu Mi and Mr. Ye once lived here. " The South Yard where we live is a big courtyard surrounded by houses ... House No.1 is Mr. Zhao Yuanren's home. This cultural charm has penetrated into the children's souls bit by bit. Isn't the Fangguoyuan written in Zong Pu's Tale of Nandu the place where Qingyuan cultural elites gather? Natalie Samat, a French modernist woman writer, said: "What literature describes can only be an invisible reality that every writer yearns for-the reality that he feels lonely." The life and characters in the works can be fictional, but the artistic conception always faithfully reflects a sensitive author's special feelings about the surrounding scenery in his childhood and the influence of this feeling on his life. Zong Pu's unique artistic beauty in a series of works is like a wisp of smoke and a faint fragrance, which he can't realize when he is conscious. Only those who have experienced this kind of life personally can realize the writer's actual and extremely strong feelings and infinite memories and nostalgia for his childhood spiritual life from that seemingly dull description. This kind of love that people who have never experienced can't write or understand is the true meaning of Zong Pu's "campus complex".

6. About "Mystery of Life and Death, Brotherhood"
Little brother went. The place I went to is a place that philosophers can't figure out through the ages, a place that all kinds of religions try to describe, a place where everyone will go and can't come back. But now how can I get my brother! He is only 50 years old. He is full of energy, has accumulated rich knowledge and experience, and has made great achievements. How many things are waiting for him to do! The hospital found that his tumor was quite large and needed immediate surgery. He also wants to attend a technical seminar and ask if he can come back after the meeting. During his recuperation after the operation, he was still reading research papers and doing some small translations in the institute. Until he was bedridden, he still kept several international aviation materials at hand and always "wanted to have a look again." All he thinks about is work. When it was dripping, he suddenly said that he wanted to eat shrimp and prawns. He wants to live! He wants to live!
But he left, too early. This year, from his illness to his death, it was really like a dream, a dream that could never be believed. I always thought he would come back, walk to my window from our desolate backyard in winter and summer, and shout "Little Sister-".
But he left, prematurely and forever.
My brother is three years old. Since I have a relatively complete memory, my younger brother, a chubby and lovely little brother, has been living with me. Although he is young, he often works as a teacher, takes care of the children and makes everyone sit down when playing. He stood in class, looking really solemn. Although he is young, in winter in Kunming, children are born with chilblains and dare not wash their faces with cold water, but he is not afraid at all. He stood by the mountain spring, holding a big basin, which is still very clear in front of my eyes.
"Look, little sister, I'll wash first!" He cried with joy.
In the slow flowing spring water, we spent most of our time in one school from primary school and middle school to university. After graduation, we went our separate ways. Unconsciously, I heard someone call me a brother strength expert; Unconsciously, he took the post of chief engineer. In those turbulent times, it is hard to imagine a person's future. In recent years, my father and I have often said that my brother will do something practical for the country as long as the environment permits. Unexpectedly, he was the youngest and left before us.
Last summer, after learning that he was ill, I went to Xi on August 20th. I remember a car full of people coming to pick me up. At that time, I wondered why it was so exciting It turns out that they all went to see my brother. After arriving at the hospital, some people went into the ward to shake hands, while others just stood silently at the door of the room. They are afraid to disturb the patients, but they must come and see them.
During the operation, there were representatives from the Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, 623 institutes and 63/KLOC-0 institutes outside the operating room, as well as brothers and sisters, my niece and me, and there was a car outside the hospital. There are many people waiting in the car. They must wait and be ready to donate blood. If I need all the blood, his comrades will give it to him. But everything is useless. The tumor was taken out, the size of an adult fist, and one side was necrotic. I suddenly felt chest tightness and almost suffocated-this is a man who has contributed his talent, sweat and life to the motherland in the hinterland. How can this terrible thing grow so big in him!
I know the hardships of living on this loess plateau, and I know the fatigue of people living on this loess plateau. I can also imagine that every work progress will go through very annoying twists and turns. But I didn't expect that my brother not only lived and fought here, but also died here. After the operation, I went back to Beijing to rest at home and relapsed in less than half a year.
I couldn't bear to write about that anxious and sad day, and I couldn't write it. Every time I think about it, I burst into tears and the paper is blurred. I remember that every time I went to see a doctor, the waiting room was as crowded as a bus, waiting and waiting, looking forward to it. We know that the disease is irreversible, and we just hope to extend the time. Maybe there will be a new way. Since Comrade Mo Wenxiang, leading comrades in aviation industry and air force have been extremely concerned about him. Friends from all walks of life, including the medical profession, have also helped me enthusiastically, and I have also sought medical treatment overseas. But if the treatment opportunity is missed, it will be difficult for the drug to play its role. Several doctors impatiently told my brother that there was no cure and he was told to "go back to Shaanxi". I said this with a smile and didn't mind at all. He never lost heart, he never lost the desire to live, and he was not tired enough.
My younger brother was born in Beijing, and 1952 graduated from Tsinghua University Aviation Department. He volunteered to go to the southwest, later assigned to the northeast, and transferred to Chengdu and Shaanxi. Although his blood did not flow on the land of the motherland, his sweat spread all over the country, and every bit of his energy was dedicated to the aviation cause of the motherland. Personal achievements are always limited, maybe you burn yourself out, and you can't give people a little light, but you can always accumulate a little for the future glory. I don't quite understand the complexity of various industries, but I understand that no business can be completed just by sitting in Beijing.
I once very much hoped that my brother would be transferred back to Beijing to share the burden of serving my father. As a son, he has been running for 30 years. Shouldn't he do some housework? Over the years, everyone will say "wait for my brother to come back" and "ask my brother" if there is anything at home. Sometimes it's reassuring to think of him asking. How can you get such peace of mind now? A dying father misses his son, especially after his mother died in recent years. His thoughts are deep and bitter. I know, although he didn't say it, now he has lost his most precious little son forever. I had hoped that when I came to the end of my life and crossed that painful threshold, my brother would be among my relatives and his reliability would comfort me. I don't know, but he crossed the threshold first!
1982101at 7 o'clock on October 28, he went.
This day is expected, but how can I believe it is a fact! He was lying there, but he was no longer him, not my younger brother in his prime, and he would never answer our call or dissuade us from crying. Where have you been, little brother! Since Aunt Yuan Jun died on 1974, my family has experienced many funerals, and this time my brother's departure is the most unconventional and unacceptable! I also had to tell this news to my father who was also in hospital at that time, because I couldn't answer his first question every day: "How is my little brother today?" I must tell him that it is my responsibility. I have no younger brother to rely on, and I can't expect him to share my responsibilities.
His father wrote an elegiac couplet for him: "He is a good party member, a good cadre, and his ambition is unfulfilled. Is it just for the pain of his family? " Being able to master science and technology, art and literature, all talents are rare, and it is difficult to return to the soul! "My only brother is gone forever.

7. Appreciation of Wisteria Waterfall
Wisteria Waterfall is a very fine meticulous painting, even a talented national artist may not be able to exhaust its meaning. Here, you can not only grasp the general outline of wisteria from the painting, but also appreciate the color, appearance and smell of flowers from the painting. Perhaps, in nature, when you face such a wisteria, you may not be able to truly know it and feel it. Reading this article by Zong Pu, it seems that a purple waterfall is displayed in front of you, with gorgeous colors dragging your eyes and gloomy fragrance lingering on your nose ... Such an extraordinary "picture" is not only due to the author's superb brushwork, but also inseparable from the author's careful observation.
Wisteria Falls is another deep song. When the author presents a beautiful "meticulous painting" to the readers, the first impression may be the warm color, bright mood and joy of life. However, when you follow the author's thinking, look back at the ten-year turmoil that was unbearable, and connect the beauty in front of you with the darkness in the past, you will feel a deep sorrow. As the author said, it was a kind of "anxiety and sadness" that weighed on my mind, and it was a recollection of the ruined happy life in the past. It can be said that when the author carefully observes this simple wisteria, when the author outlines the appearance of this wisteria one by one, she must have a deep song in her heart. Because only those who have experienced darkness will be dazzled in front of a bright life, and only those who have suffered will cherish the waves of this life so much. Therefore, although the author does not give vent to his feelings in this exquisite picture, when people observe every detail of Wisteria Falls, they will inevitably experience the deep and pleasant melody that the author poured into it, which permeates the whole framework of Wisteria Falls.
Intuitively speaking, the image of Wisteria Waterfall is vivid, such as in front of you, not superficial; Viewed from the situation, Wisteria Waterfall has implicit meaning and far-reaching artistic conception. However, when you have read Wisteria Falls, you will feel that there are deeper and more charming meanings besides its words. However, after reading Wisteria Waterfall repeatedly, we can't help but realize the following views: beautiful things (Wisteria Waterfall is a symbol) can't be stopped or stifled, and the river of life will surely break through various obstacles day by day.
Thus, Wisteria Falls has reached a very high artistic conception of "no rhyme".
(Selected from China Modern Prose Appreciation Library, Baihua Literature and Art Publishing House, 1996 edition, by Hai Gang)
The same flowers and plants facing different people may cause different aesthetic feelings. Zong Pu, a female writer, often pays more attention to flowers such as lilac, February orchid, Hosta, hibiscus and wisteria. Although they are ordinary and weak, they have the dignity and prosperity of life. She often finds many beautiful qualities from these young people's lives and expresses her pursuit of beautiful humanity. The essay Wisteria Falls conveys such a pursuit.
This essay is about the author's perception of life caused by seeing wisteria in full bloom again. The article begins with wisteria attracting people to stop and dazzle them. The blooming rattan flower is like a splendid lavender waterfall, with patchwork colors and swaying in the sun, which makes it seem to have life and gives people a feeling of "flowing, laughing and growing".
Vines don't compete for victory with the square group. They bloom quietly in the season when spring flowers wither. People who walk in the spring have no intention of touching, and bees and butterflies don't visit. However, they are still in full bloom and enjoy their lives. Although it is quiet, the crowded prosperity makes people feel proud and open-minded, exulting for their beautiful existence.
After describing the strong waterfall-like overall impression brought by vines, the author's brush strokes follow his own line of sight, dropping pen and ink from the details, and depicting every little flower that constitutes the magical waterfall. It turns out that the light splash has been in full bloom; The flowing purple waterfall seems to have settled, just waiting to be released. And every blooming flower, like a boat, floats lightly on the purple river. This ship full of sails, the cabin is bulging, "like a smile that can't help but burst open." -What kind of fairy dew are these little creatures holding, so they will have this fabulous beauty! The author almost feels a little confused and can't help but want to pick one.
But the author has no habit of picking flowers. In this hesitant pause, she was lost in thought. This beautiful purple waterfall is no longer just a landscape, but also slowly flows through the author's heart, calming her down from her anxiety and grief over her brother's illness in recent days. This blooming vine is almost magical, not only dazzling, but also its fragrance seems to be lavender, which enveloped the author in peace and joy. Suddenly, she remembered her hometown. There used to be a big wisteria outside the door. It climbed very high, but its flowers were never sparse. At that time, because "what is the inevitable relationship between flowers and life corruption", even this sparse vine disappeared later. After so many years, the vines have finally blossomed again, and they are so prosperous and dense.
At this point, the article points out the theme: "flowers and people will encounter all kinds of misfortunes, but the long river of life is endless." -It turns out that the fairy dew that makes wisteria so beautiful and prosperous is the "wine of life"! Seeing this, readers will naturally feel that people are like flowers, and the torrent of the times will always wash away all kinds of unpleasant past. As long as you speed up your steps, open the sails of life and sail in this shining era, you will bloom again, and you will be a spray that makes up that splendid waterfall, won't you?
Zong Pu's landscape prose always pays attention to the detailed and true description of objective scenery. With the unique delicacy and love of a woman writer, she savors the most positive inner spirit of the scenery, such as the full and vigorous vitality of this wisteria flower and the simple nature that is both brilliant and unrestrained and can withstand loneliness. At the same time, she avoids subjective rendering and direct preaching, but describes what she has learned in an objective, implicit and calm style, trying to let readers understand the spirit and significance of this scene themselves. This is inseparable from Zong Pu's mellow nature, introverted personal cultivation and courage to face life.
For example, in this song "Wisteria Falls", if the author really picks a flower and appreciates it carefully, then her attention will always be on the beauty of this flower; Only when the flowers stop, can the author communicate with the flowers like water, which soothes the author's depression, and can the author sublimate this feeling of beauty into a feeling of calm and happy life. And if the author directly praises the vitality of this flower, readers will only sigh the warmth and beauty of the vine; Only by interweaving retrospect and prospect, and combining internal spirit with external modality, readers will have a deeper understanding of how long and persistent expectations Mao Feng has experienced today, and inspire your enthusiasm to embrace life while cherishing it.
This article has the consistent style of Zong Pu's landscape prose: active and implicit theme pursuit, graceful and restrained emotional expression, delicate scenery description and concise written expression. Because the writing of the article is in the initial chaotic and enthusiastic era, this beautiful prose has universal significance of the times and occupies an important position in the history of contemporary prose.
