-Notes on Wu Xin's Confucian prose Poetry of Everyday Things.
Jia Baoquan
I haven't read Xin Ru's prose for more than ten years, and I feel very excited after reading it this time.
I was deeply impressed by the combination of poetry and philosophy in this group of essays, Poetics of Everyday Things. Its writing is essentially a prose poem, so we should avoid reading it as an ordinary prose because of its carelessness. Guided Chinese characters to be organized in this way, the author occupies a high position in the spiritual realm, so the works present a free and relaxed "height", a gentle and fair "release", and a "simplicity" that pities the exhaustion of Chinese characters and uses them as little as possible for thousands of years. This is pure thinking. In the metaphysical field, it has risen to a certain height and has its own height. It points to your own heart. Although he came with a challenging attitude, he didn't want to challenge himself. The text arrangement is rich and simple, quiet and lively, and the music is smooth. Thoughts are dense, but they have overflowed beyond the text, as if they were a fish that deliberately slipped through the net. Several short chapters have their own advantages and disadvantages, but the cup is unique-comparing the cup to a bird is novel and unique; From the light and shade of the filled and unfilled parts of the cup, we can see the fine observation; "Even if an empty cup is born for water," the originally lifeless cup came back to life, immediately showing goodwill and sincerity, showing mission concern; And "the empty cup overflows slightly" is a strong materialization of "empty". The "empty" in the cup makes the "real" inside and outside the cup become Jin Lan.
I attach great importance to this point, because it touches on the philosophical proposition that "emptiness is reality" and "there is no emptiness in the world". Philosophical emptiness is also a material existence, and philosophical emptiness is not absolute nothingness, which has always been secretly consistent with Laozi's Tao.
Finally, the cup "gives different drinkers and viewers the same reflection and gives them the same brilliance in their daily lives", which embodies the consciousness of equality and equal treatment of all beings in the cup. To put it bluntly, this is Buddha nature.
Think of Hegel's famous words of wisdom, slightly like the sages of the East: "Opposing things pair to form the rhythm of life." If we continue to advance from the philosophical standpoint, we will deduce the profound understanding of ancient Greek Anacker Sidman: "What makes everything come into being, and everything will return to it after being destroyed, which is stipulated by fate." Therefore, emptiness and reality, because together, will be together. There is probably a material order that the writer Xin Ru understands.
The so-called "in place" in the bookshelf is the source. Constantly entering is quitting ",see also understanding. People's knowledge should go in and out, and so should their thoughts. Bookshelves must be put in and taken out at the same time. Since good things are "in", they should "out" themselves. Good sentences are like scattered beads, all chapters are flashing, and when you walk with a lantern, it will glow. Every short chapter has left a "core", and manna and huifeng can germinate again in the future. In the process of creation, these works have to be pondered and considered repeatedly, so after completion, the writer seems to have climbed a lonely old tree, and his hands and heart are tired. Even if it is just higher than ordinary work, it is also the accumulation of painstaking efforts, and it is difficult for the latter to be on an equal footing without hard work.
I should thank the author, because I heard the solemn declaration of the text itself: skillful use of mother tongue, concise writing, honest rhetoric, concrete truth and far-reaching implication ... are correct at any time and anywhere.

Vilen is a blockbuster.
-Interpretation of Orfila's long poem "Yuanye".
Chen yuejun
Besides the epic Gesar, Wu Xinru's long poem Yuan Ye is the longest poem I have ever read. I wandered in Yuan Ye, savoring every poem and feeling a pure boy's deep love for Yuan Ye, life and life. In more than 3,000 lines of soul solo, Xin Ru created a historical, realistic, future, beautiful, cruel, seductive, hopeful, disappointed, desperate, sweet, bitter and unique time and space, which made people linger and be fascinated.
From overture to love variation, time book, ending in October, south, south, stone story, rising in October, Memorial Day, manor, flora, chronicle of Changchun Lane, out of Luoling, crossing
The poet Xin Ru is undoubtedly the director of this blockbuster. Xinru depicts a garden that spans the east and west, ancient and modern, and transcends dreams and reality through the interweaving of scene reproduction and three-dimensional space.
This is a realistic meta-leaf, even a poetic meta-leaf, which exudes poetic light everywhere: "You only see rose petals/that's a shaky flame/that's a slightly hesitant bell ringing/that's soft ash about to go out/that's a cloud confiscated by the haze ..." The rose petals we see are rose petals, or are associated with beautiful love, but what the poet sees is a hesitant mentality and a desperate mood.
This is the yuan leaf of philosophy. The first chapter, Variations on Love, asks an interesting question: "Is love a butterfly or a fly?" In the eyes of ordinary people, love must be a butterfly, because everyone "likes butterflies/hates flies". But the poet thinks that butterflies are loved, and their lives are beautiful but fragile, while flies "sing every day/their green heads are like greedy little suns/their group chorus/their happy voices are never tired/powerful", so "dear/maybe a fly, not a butterfly/bear all these hardships/indifference, doubt and strength.
This is the wise Master Yuan. I know that the poet's loneliness is due to awe and belief: awe of the universe, fear of life, and faith in truth, goodness and beauty and love. Hold your fear in your arms/you will see the traffic lights clearly/you will know the zebra crossing/you will make friends with safety/the blue sky and white clouds will be your amulet. Only by knowing your own fears can you know how to abide by the rules, go forward bravely and reach the other side. Many poems in Yuanye contain wonderful philosophy, radiate the light of wisdom and enlighten our lives. We have reason to believe that vilen's poem, such as "Winter is the best time to start. If you have to wait until spring, it will be too late ". In a few years, it may become an inspirational word to educate and encourage generation after generation.
This is the novelist's gardening. Time, place, characters, plot, many stories one after another, make people read climax after climax, gripping. This is the January night for each of us. We can always find our own shadow between the lines, inadvertently open our memories, and a feeling of deja vu arises spontaneously, as if we had participated in something, known someone, and experienced a certain period of love and hate. This kind of empathy makes people feel an impulse, that is, through reading and participation, they can have the honor to become a sentence or a paragraph in this long poem, and write an eternal and most beautiful swan song together with it.
With so many perspectives, big scenes and deep presentation, Yuan Ye is epic and shocking. This rare novel in the history of China's new poetry will surely win the respect and support of readers from generation to generation.
