Modern Chinese Thinking Guide 5—— From Baicaoyuan to San Tan Yin Yue (Excerpt)

? From the Herb Garden to the Moon in Santan, it is selected from Mr. Lu Xun's "Morning Flowers Pick Up in the Evening" (formerly known as "Coming Back to Life"). This group of essays was written when Lu Xun was wandering in life and was in the most depressed mood. In order to "find a little leisure in the chaos", he used the beauty of the old days to relieve his current depression, find a little leisure and give some comfort. It can be said that "Morning Flowers Picking Up in the Evening" is a love song of the author's childhood.

? The prose in "Morning Flowers and Evening Picking Up" has various forms, flexible brushwork, irony in lyricism, profound meaning in narration, and serious connotation is often expressed in humorous language, which constitutes a unique artistic style. ?

Prose belongs to narrative style, and it is a literary genre on an equal footing with novels, poems and plays. The important feature of prose is "scattered in form and scattered in spirit".

Lu Xun's "From Baicaoyuan to San Tan Yin Yue" tells two fragments of the author's childhood life: the first part tells the life of Baicaoyuan; The second part tells about three pools that reflect the life of the moon. We chose some contents of "Herb Garden" to share with you. The original text is as follows:

Needless to say, green vegetable fields, smooth stone wells, tall acacia trees and purple mulberries; Needless to say, cicadas are singing in the leaves, fat wasps are squatting on cauliflower, and the swift call to the son of heaven (lark) suddenly rushes to the sky from the grass. Just around the short mud wall, it has unlimited interest. Oil flies sing here and crickets play the piano here. Turning over broken bricks, sometimes I meet centipedes; There is also Mylabris. If you press your finger on its spine, it will smack and spray a puff of smoke from behind. The vines of Polygonum multiflorum Thunb and Manglietia are intertwined, Manglietia has the fruit of Lotus House, and Polygonum multiflorum Thunb has swollen roots. If you are not afraid of thorns, you can also pick raspberries, which are like small balls made of coral beads. They are sour and sweet, and their color and taste are far better than those of mulberries.

This passage is selected from the second paragraph of the article, which mainly describes why Baicaoyuan is the author's childhood paradise. Writing about scenery, there are three main skills in writing about scenery: grasping characteristics, sequence, and combining dynamic and static. We can also analyze this part in the same way. In what order did the author describe it? Is it a combination of static and dynamic?

After careful reading, we will find that the author describes the scenery in the Herb Garden in detail from two different angles: one is the panorama, and the other is the area around the mud wall. On the basis of sequential description, the author distinguishes between dynamic and static, which deserves to be a rare classic.

From two angles and levels, the next thing to do is to grasp the characteristics. No matter what happens, as long as the appropriate keywords are extracted according to the characteristics, it can help us understand and remember more deeply.

Let's take out paper and pen and draw today's mind map together!

The campus (excerpt from "From Baicaoyuan to San Tan Yin Yue") is unknown.

The way students play on the playground after school, the way students listen carefully after the bell rings, and the way students concentrate on reading after class, not to mention the brown leaves, green wicker and Parthenocissus Petunia hanging from the branches on campus. It's just around the grass on the school wall. It's fun. Butterflies are flying here, and ladybugs flap their wings to accompany the butterflies. Turning the grass, sometimes there will be a few green grasshoppers inside; There are also a few smooth pebbles; As long as you hold down the leaves of mimosa, it will shrink timidly into a ball. Some people say that the dates on the school jujube tree are very sweet. I often pick them from trees, but none of them are particularly sweet. In fact, it is all because it is not fully mature, and many leaves have been knocked out. If you are not afraid of bugs, you can also pick red-leaf plums (purple-leaf plums) that bloom like cherry blossoms. The red leaves full of trees are swaying in the bright sunshine, which is very beautiful.
