"Stars" No. 16:
Young people!
For future memories,
Describe your present picture carefully and deliberately.
[Appreciation]
This poem is very popular and can be understood as soon as you read it. The poet advises us to seize the present, study diligently, and work down-to-earth. Only by "drawing your present picture carefully" can your future career be brilliant and your life path broad. Only when you "recall the past" can you "not regret for wasting your years, and not feel ashamed for doing nothing"! Only then can you be proud to say: My life is full and meaningful. A word of "be careful", with exquisite wording, infinite care and exhortation can be seen from the back of the paper.
Ninety-eight of "Stars":
Young people!
Just believe in yourself!
Only you are real,
Only you can create yourself.
[Appreciation]
This poem focuses on admonishing young people to build up self-confidence. Believe in yourself, defeat yourself, surpass yourself, be not afraid of the difficulties and ups and downs on the road of life, and be not afraid of the wind, frost, rain and snow in life. Don't be discouraged when you encounter a little difficulty, don't be discouraged when you encounter a little setback, don't be demoralized when you suffer a little grievance, and don't become sluggish when you suffer a little blow. Or "The Internationale" sings well, "There has never been a savior, it all depends on ourselves." My friend, "Believe in yourself", "Only you can create yourself", only you can show your beautiful style in front of the world and show a brand new self.
"Stars" No.110:
Young people!
If you compare yourself with the elderly,
you will know that your boredom
is gentle.
[Appreciation]
This is a philosophical poem that encourages young people to establish a correct outlook on life and the world. Young people must correctly treat difficulties and setbacks, that is, they must correctly treat the "boring" in life. In this world, if you want to live, study, and work, you must get along with others. When getting along with others, you will definitely encounter difficulties and setbacks, and therefore, you will definitely be "bored". We cannot avoid it, nor can we avoid it. We can only face it calmly and openly, and greet it bravely and optimistically. The ancients once said: "When heaven is about to entrust a great responsibility to this person, he must first strain his mind, strain his muscles and bones, starve his body and skin, deplete his body, and mess up his actions. Therefore, tempting his heart and forbearance has benefited him." "It's impossible" is the truth behind it. Only in difficulties and setbacks can you increase your wisdom and talents. A sage said: "Difficulties are a treasure in life." It is really insightful and wonderful. Young people are not as full of vicissitudes and sorrows as old people. Sometimes when they think about the past, they will inevitably feel lingering fear and pain. Every day young people face is new. Young people have no burden of life, no burden from family, and not too many chores. Generally speaking, there will not be any big survival crisis. Therefore, even if they are a little "bored", they are still "gentle" compared to the elderly.
"Spring Water" Part 3:
Young people!
You cannot fly like the wind,
You should be as still as a mountain,
Like floating clouds,
A powerless life,
I only made information about poets!
[Appreciation]
This is a very wonderful philosophical poem. The poet uses the flying wind, floating clouds and still mountains to cleverly create metaphors and compare them to tell us the true meaning of cultivating one's body and mind. Zhuge Liang once earnestly warned his son Zhuge Zhan in "The Book of Chengzi": "Quietness is used to cultivate one's character, and frugality is used to cultivate virtue. Without indifference, one cannot clearly understand one's aspirations, and without tranquility, one cannot reach far. You must be quiet to learn, and only then can you learn." It can be seen that. How important it is for us to cultivate our moral character by being calm and calm, and getting rid of impetuousness!
"Spring Water" No. 34:
Young people!
From the white ground,
Find sympathy.
[Appreciation]
This is a lyric poem that warns young people how to treat others. The words are concise and concise, but the feelings are profound and meaningful. The poet wants young people to "find sympathy from the white ground", which means that young people should be full of care for others and full of love for society. Romain Rolland said: "Love is the flame of life. Without it, everything will turn into darkness." How well said! This shows how important sympathy and care are to others and to society. As the song goes: "As long as everyone gives a little love, the world will become a beautiful world."
"Spring Water" No. 87:
Young people!
Is it just a review?
The world is constantly moving forward.
[Appreciation]
What is poetry? Ai Qing said: "Poetry is a living sculpture of the soul." What is a good poem? Ai Qing said: It "not only allows people to feel what it contains, but also reminds people of something deeper and further." This little poem by Bing Xin is such a good poem. She vividly displays her "living sculpture of the soul" in front of young people. She not only allows us to "feel what it contains" from the poem, but also makes us "think of something deeper and further from it." . The poem warns young people not to be complacent, arrogant and stagnant when they have achieved a little bit of progress. They should not always be immersed in happy "reviews". They should guard against arrogance and impetuosity, continue to innovate and keep moving forward, because " The world is constantly moving forward.” Poetry really has the power to inspire people!
Sanyi, Part 1 of "Spring Water":
Young people!
The sorrow after awakening,
only buried myself deeply.
They are also tiny human beings!
[Appreciation]
This poem, like "Stars" No. 10, is also a lyric poem that warns young people to deal with mistakes and setbacks correctly. This poem is a little more difficult to understand. But as long as we understand that when reading poetry, we should pay attention to its jumping and omission characteristics, then this poem will be easy to understand. Here, we only need to sort out the poet's thoughts a little, and it becomes: young people! We must treat mistakes and setbacks correctly. If we remain sad after awakening, we will only bury ourselves deeply. This is originally the fatal weakness of tiny human beings!
The poem is short and warning, like an enlightenment, enough to wake up those who have been drowsy.
"Spring Water" Chapter 174:
Young people!
Precious description,
Time is turning the pages of the book,
Please write!
[Appreciation]
This is a very philosophical exhortation poem. The poem begins with an appeal and an inverted sentence pattern, urging young people to study diligently and "carefully describe" their own life poems. Don't slack off, don't waste time. Then, use a personification and metaphorical rhetorical technique to point out the reasons and encourage people to make progress; because "time is turning the pages of the book, please write"! The poem is similar to Yue Fei's "Don't wait for idleness, the young man's head is gray, and he is empty and sad". After reading this, the deafening warning of the ancient philosopher will ring in our ears: "The dead are like a man, and they don't give up day and night." Then we can whip up the whip and urge the horse to work hard and diligently write about the glorious life.
Recently, I read a book called "Aesop's Fables". There is a fable called "The Mosquito and the Lion" that inspired me deeply.
The fable is a magic bag. The bag is small, but it can take out many things from it, and it can even take out things much larger than the bag. Fable is a unique bridge, through which one can move from complexity to simplicity, and from simplicity to richness. By walking back and forth on this bridge several times, we not only see the colorful phenomena of life, but also discover the inner meaning of life. Fables are beautiful, beauty lies in simplicity, beauty in connotation, and beauty in sentences.
Perhaps everyone has heard of "The Story of the Fox and the Goat", right? It tells the story of a fox who fell into a well and coaxed a goat to go down the well, then stepped on the goat's back and jumped out of the well, but then abandoned the goat and went off on its own. It tells people: When doing good deeds, you should also look at the target to avoid being deceived. Maybe everyone will say after reading this: Where can I find such a silly "goat" now? However, I did encounter such a silly "goat" in real life. That time when I was traveling, a person in the car suddenly asked me to change some change. I only glanced at that person and felt that he had a sinister look on his face. Probably for this reason, no one in the car paid him any attention. The man spoke very sincerely, and when he said it for the third time, someone finally stood up and said: Let me switch with you! The man seemed very excited, shouting "big brother" to the left and "big brother" to the right, and said that he had met a good person. After they finished changing the money, the person who wanted to change the change said that he had something to do. As soon as the bus arrived at the stop, he hurriedly got out of the car and disappeared after a while. When the car was on the road again, the man who changed the money was heard saying: "Oh, my God! This is fake!" I saw him holding a hundred-dollar bill in both hands and shining it repeatedly in the sun. After a while, he sat down on his seat and said, "That money is for buying things for my family. Why is that person so wicked?" I looked at it and thought: Another cunning fox and stupid goat appeared.
The story of "Bull and Frog" tells us another truth. This fable tells the story of a frog who saw a cow and insisted on competing with the cow to see who was bigger. In the end, his belly burst. I think this frog is so stupid! It should not compete with the cow to see who is bigger, but compete with the cow to see who is petite. Wouldn't this take advantage of others' shortcomings and make up for its own strengths? There will be no more stomach bursting. And in our real society, don’t we think the same way? Isn’t there a compensation for every flaw we have? Stinginess is called economy, stupidity is called honesty, meanness is called flexibility, and lack of talent is called virtue... Therefore, there are no women in the world who think they are worthless, and there are no men who think they are inferior to others. In this way, each other will find their own place, and of course they will be in peace with each other.
But if we were all like that frog, what would the world look like? It’s really unimaginable.
"The Turtle and the Eagle" tells us through the tragedy of a turtle that insisted on being taught by an eagle to learn to fly, but ended up falling to death from a high altitude: Everything has its own laws and must not be allowed to fly. Violate this rule. This fable reminds me of an idiom story, "Pluck a seedling to encourage it to grow." "Pluck the Seedlings to Help It Grow" tells the story of a farmer who thought his crops were growing too slowly, so he came up with a method that he thought was smart but was actually stupid. He spent the whole morning uplifting the seedlings in his field one by one. It seemed that the seedlings were indeed growing very fast. But after the family heard about this, they immediately ran to the vegetable field and took a look. They saw that all the seedlings in the field not only grew taller, but also withered. This little idiom story has the same meaning as "The Eagle and the Tortoise". It makes us understand that everything must go as it should.
Aesop's Fables is said to be a former slave in ancient Greece. But it was written by Aesop, a man who was released because of his intelligence and talent. It was this kind of history that made me fall in love with this book. The character settings of Aesop's content are very unique. Most of them feature animals and people or all animals. This advantage is obvious. The author no longer has to waste time describing the individual personalities of the protagonist and supporting characters. As long as an animal is written, people will immediately think of its essence, which can help people understand the meaning of the fable from different perspectives. Moreover, this method of using animals to replace people is also very vivid and typical. The wolf represents cunning, the fox represents cunning, the cow represents honesty, the rabbit represents impatience or wit, and the eagle represents an ambitious person. The content of Aesop's fables seems to be very short and concise, without any overly long background description or psychological description. It is almost as concise and clear as a "running account", and a profound article only has four to five hundred words. Although it is just a simple narrative and dialogue, it gives readers more space to think. As the saying goes, "Looking at one side, a forest looks like a wind," different people will have different opinions on the same fable. The simple structure allows the reader the freedom to delve into the essence of the story. Aesop's stories often use certain protagonists (animals) to warn people when they come to Beijing with tragic endings, such as: "The Crow and the Fox", "The Deer's Feet and Horns", "The Sheep and the Wolf", etc., naturally In this case, it gave people a powerful persuasion, making people have to agree with it. Since there is still debate on whether "Aesop's Fables" actually existed, and because some fables in the Middle Ages were also named "Aesop", the current versions of "Aesop's Fables" are different, among which The stories are also somewhat mixed. Of course, it is worth noting that when I read "Aesop's Fables", I found that the morals in stories such as "The Farmer and the Snake" are often very profound and simple, but some fables are really difficult to understand. I don't know what the author is talking about, or even Some fables are extremely absurd and have an inexplicable feeling. A paragraph from the editor explains the reason: Because some of the stories in "Aesop's Fables" are of mixed quality, you don't necessarily need to learn any lesson from a fable, just read it as a short story for entertainment. After reading it, I also felt that I was indeed too "over the top". Some fables in "Aesop's Fables" may be just because the author was afraid that it would be too difficult for readers to understand, so he added a sentence at the end: "This means XXXXXXXX". It seemed that it really suppressed my thoughts, but it was not appropriate. It feels like superfluous. Overall, "Aesop's Fables" has a lot of lessons worth learning and keeping in mind, and the content of the story is relatively exciting. You can read and understand a fable in 2 minutes, so I rate this book It's very good.
Hope it will be adopted! !
