Over the years, people have recognized that the literary quality of Moonlight on the Lotus Pond is excellent, but there are different opinions on the interpretation of the theme of the article, especially the feeling that it seems to be beyond the world and beyond things. Looking at Zhu Ziqing's works and connecting with Zhu Ziqing's character, we can really evaluate him with "gentleness and gentleness". As Sun Fuyuan, a friend of Zhu Ziqing, said, "Pei Xian has a peaceful and upright character. He never used violent words, and he never had feelings ... "But Zhu Ziqing did have some actions that were not" gentle and sincere "in his life. He has published many works, such as The Government's Massacre (1926), On Nothing to Say (193 1 year), Turbulent Times (1946) and Dissatisfied with the Present Situation (1946). As for being seriously ill and taking the lead in not eating American food, it is full of "heroism". This kind of "car-scrapping" and "heroism" shows his integrity and strong character. The reason why Zhu Ziqing, who is physically weak, made these outrageous moves is simple: the autocratic and dark social reality made it difficult for his originally "quiet" heart to be quiet, which forced him to stand up and fight and make admirable feats. The author did not explain the writing intention of Moonlight on the Lotus Pond. In recent years, some people have found another way to attribute the author's "considerable restlessness" to family discord, which is ridiculous: on the one hand, Zhu Ziqing is not a vulgar person, and will never waste his outstanding literary talent to write articles to vent his dissatisfaction with his wife because of family chores; The authors of the two novels witnessed the white terror created by Chiang Kai-shek in Shanghai and Beijing and learned about Chiang Kai-shek's atrocities throughout the country. He will not turn a blind eye and be calm, at least the bad blood at home will not make him "quite uneasy" more than this. Among them, Zhu Ziqing's "quite restless" is attributed to the "darkness" of "Chiang Kai-shek rebelling against the revolution". In reality, the late China educator Ye Shengtao was a close friend of Zhu Ziqing. The author thinks that only Ye Shengtao's viewpoint can be closest to Zhu Ziqing's original intention of writing, and some people's so-called "unique discovery" will only be subjective. We should think: what would a weak scholar do in the face of the harsh social environment at that time? And what would a scholar who was baptized by the May 4th New Culture Movement and sang "The Light of Creation" do? Lonely? A person is sad and depressed? A person's faint sadness? A person's faint happiness? Such a guess is possible for ordinary weak scholars; For Zhu Ziqing, it is impossible. No matter how weak, honest scholars are brave and will never escape from reality; An upright scholar is energetic, and he will never be lightly sad, let alone lightly happy. Understanding Moonlight on the Lotus Pond depends not only on what the author wrote, but also on why he wrote it this way. Only by really going into the author's heart can we find the best answer. The best way to get into the author's heart is to grasp the key to the emotion of the work. At the beginning of the article, I wrote: "I feel quite uneasy these days." "A few days" shows the length of "restlessness" and "considerable" highlights the depth of "restlessness". The opening sentence is such an abrupt sentence, which puts emotion into the article, sets the emotional tone for the article, and reminds readers to think about the root of the author's long and profound "restlessness". Throughout Zhu Ziqing's life, he was always "angry" in the face of the cruelty of reactionaries, rather than "detached" as some people thought. Since he is "angry", it also determines his inner "restless". -feelings are the most worrying. Emotion affects action. Let's first make some assumptions about the "angry" Zhu Ziqing: he has not fully understood the revolution; Standing, worrying about life and family; If you don't ask questions and study hard, it's hard to be calm inside. After all, I can't think of the most suitable way, so I can only "be quite restless for a few days." This "agitation" is a difficult choice process, which is long and profound enough to make a weak scholar physically and mentally haggard. Therefore, we must find ways to dispel the "restlessness" in our hearts. The word "suddenly" shows the joy after "looking for him in the crowd"-the mood is high. The characteristics of the small cinder road by the pond are: seclusion, few people walk during the day, and even more eerie at night. But after all, this is the place that the author finally found to dispel the "agitation" in his heart, so "although the moonlight is still faint", the author feels "very good", which shows the urgency of the author to dispel the "agitation" in his heart. -the mood is high again. The author enjoys "freedom" on the small cinder road, "now he can ignore anything against his will", so he can enjoy the boundless moonlight with lotus fragrance. -the mood is high again. Under the moon, the description of the lotus pond moonlight is exquisite and elegant, which shows that the author is happy at this time. In this quiet environment, the author achieved complete "tranquility". -happy emotions reach the highest level and last forever. However, cicadas and frogs brought the author back to reality from the quiet and selfless realm. "It's even more worrying to drown your sorrows in wine, but since the water is still flowing, although we cut it with our swords." Once back to reality, the original "agitation" immediately recovered and even intensified. The cicada singing and frog vocal cords made him envious and sad: "But the excitement is theirs, and I have nothing." A word "Dan" shows its envy; I have nothing shows the depth of its sadness. -Very emotional. The purpose of going out is to dispel the "restlessness" in my heart. After enjoying only a moment of "freedom" and happiness, it was dragged back to the cruel reality. Why bother? We can only work harder, trace the trajectory of time, and go to ancient times to "remember the past." The word "suddenly" shows another kind of joy when the author is helpless. The author has read a lot of poetry books, and it is natural to think of ancient customs and interesting lotus picking scenes from the lotus pond in front of him. Emphasizing the "excitement" of lotus picking is to highlight one's loneliness and imply one's urgent yearning for "excitement". -high spirits. For a long time, people's reference to Liang's ode to picking lotus has been a controversial topic. All the previous textbooks have been deleted, and now some people agree to delete them. This is because I don't understand the author's intention to think about the ancient lotus picking custom. "Nostalgia" is false, but seeking comfort is true. The word "poor" reveals all kinds of helplessness: no matter how "nostalgic" you are, your body is still in this world. The word "unhappy" is full of sadness. -I'm depressed again. It is difficult to find a cure for heart disease in reality, and "nostalgia" can only be intoxicated for a while. The word "hence" shows the author's deep helplessness. The quotation of Xizhou Song in the article is also controversial. It is biased to understand these four poems in isolation. The Song of the Western Zhou Dynasty is a Yuefu poem with 160 words. In the poem, the woman hopes that her husband will not come back, while "I" is to send her mind away. Although their moods are different for thousands of years, how similar they are! Through clever analogy, the author reflects his helplessness and disappointment in twists and turns. -the sad mood continues.
The "uneasiness" in the heart is hard to get rid of, and the helpless heart cannot be comforted. This is the emotional theme of Moonlight on the Lotus Pond. In the Tang Dynasty, the poem "I only look at my hometown, and the twilight is fading, and there is a sad fog on the river waves" reflects the feelings of helpless wanderers, while in the Song Dynasty, the poem "Return" expresses the feelings of helpless wanderers. The author naturally thought of Jiangnan, the hometown of the south. The "Jiangnan" here is a warm concept and a beautiful symbol; Thinking of Jiangnan, the soul is as warm as bathing in the sunshine in spring. People have many interpretations of "Jiangnan". Understanding it as "hometown" is more in line with the author's mood. Only the feeling of hometown can give the author real comfort at this time. -high spirits. The word "unconsciously" in "Unconsciously in front of your own door" shows the author's unexpected helplessness. Just now, I was immersed in the warmth of "Jiangnan", and a moment later I returned to the cold real life, and my efforts to get rid of "restlessness" ended in failure. The article came to an abrupt end, leaving us only blank. But this blank is not a simple blank, but full of rich imagination and profound connotation. As long as we accompany him through this tortuous and helpless mental journey, we can imagine the trend of his emotional change after returning to China-emotional decline, and it is the lowest point. Therefore, Moonlight on the Lotus Pond reveals a strong and weak scholar's helpless mental journey in the face of cold reality. The weaker this scholar is, the more it shows that this mental journey is helpless; The more helpless this mental journey is, the more it shows the author's anger at the dark reality; The more the author expresses his anger at the dark reality, the more he exposes the atrocities of reactionary forces! In the face of bloody slaughter, honest people will not turn a deaf ear and choose to escape. Honest people will "dare to anger" and "dare to speak"! (Moonlight over the Lotus Pond was originally published in July 1927, Novel Monthly, No.7, Volume 18) In this way, the most successful part of Moonlight over the Lotus Pond is not the beautiful scenery, delicate words and clever rhetoric, but the sincere feelings, which come from the strongest anger of the weak literati! Many people regard this "helplessness" as weakness and detachment. As we all know, this is the genius of the author: a weak scholar dares to be "furious" and "outspoken" about the atrocities of the reactionaries. Shouldn't others do the same? Therefore, the kind of "helplessness" in the works is not cowardice, but admirable courage! The author of Moonlight on the Lotus Pond bravely and sincerely reveals the mental journey of an upright and weak intellectual who is angry and helpless in the face of atrocities, and strongly lashes out at the bloody slaughter of revolutionaries and the cruel suppression of the people by Kuomintang reactionaries, thus inspiring people to face the reality bravely, stand up and fight, overthrow the dark rule and establish a new China with freedom and democracy. Only in this way can we better understand Zhu Ziqing's writing intention.
