Wang Zengqi's "Five Flavors"
Wang Zengqi was very familiar with the revolutionary modern Peking opera "Shajiabang" because he had seen it many times during the "Cultural Revolution" because he was one of the main screenwriters. one. Later, when I read his articles, whether they were novels or essays, I felt the author's skill in writing. The more I read, the more I felt like drinking fragrant tea or famous wine. Over time, the taste became sweeter and stronger. This year's Shanxi Provincial High School Entrance Examination Chinese Language test question selected his essay "Father and Son Become Brothers Over the Years" for the modern reading question, and wrote an essay based on it. Although the exam is selective, reading good articles and writing about topics of interest should be welcomed by everyone. The same goes for feedback.
After reading this article called "Five Flavors", you may have a feeling that the trivial details in life can also be written into articles. Yes, not only can I write, but I can also write interestingly and interestingly. This is mainly due to the author's love and concern for life. When we say a writer’s article is good, what is so good about it? First, he has a profound experience and understanding of life that we are not aware of. Second, he writes about the understanding, truth and understanding that everyone thinks of but does not express. Take the taste for the five flavors as an example. Shanxi people love jealousy, Sichuan, Hunan, and Hubei people love spicy food, and Cantonese people love sweet food... We all know that, and there are many little stories that may be called "details", such as , "Shanxi fellows love to drink jealousy, and they will hand over their guns but not their jealous gourds"; as soon as the train entered Niangziguan, the sound changed to "drinking jealousy" and "drinking jealousy". etc. No one thought they could become material for writing articles. It seems that the love for life should include all aspects of it. Naturally, "eating" is also an important aspect. "Food is the first necessity of the people", which makes sense. An article selected for inclusion in the first volume of high school Chinese this fall, "Hutong Culture," is also a prose written by Wang Zengqi. It mentions the food of Beijingers. As written in this article, Beijingers love to eat "stewed shrimps with rice skin." He also wrote that "Beijing people are easy to satisfy. They don't have high material requirements in life. They are satisfied with big pickled radish and small pickled radish. What else can I say?" A few drops of sesame oil will treat your aunt." The difference is that this article is about people's food habits, while "Hutong Culture" relates this habit to the psychology of Beijing people, which is actually culture. closely linked together for analysis. It is necessary to conduct a rational and cultural analysis of the things around us. However, after accumulating life, carefully selecting details, rationally organizing the text, and then using contagious language can also move the readers' hearts. Like this article.
Going back to the issue of Shanxi people being jealous, Wang Zengqi told us an interesting story at the beginning of the article. But as Shanxi people, let’s think about it. What is the reason why Shanxi people are jealous? For what? Is it because Shanxi people like to eat pasta, and seasoning it with vinegar makes its deliciousness more prominent? Just as southerners eat spicy food because of the hot weather, spicy food has the effect of repelling dampness; and Shanxi is rich in cereals, especially sorghum in northern Shanxi, which is a good raw material for making vinegar. This is a geographical advantage; another point is probably the function of habit. Born and raised here, my fellow villagers make a large vat of vinegar every year. Every meal is inseparable from the vinegar pot. Vinegar should be used to enhance the flavor when eating noodles, and vinegar should be used to remove the smell of fried meat. When you go to a restaurant to eat, put some vinegar on the empty dishes and rinse them, which is equivalent to disinfecting them. If someone at home has a cold and you are afraid of infecting others, put some vinegar in the pot and boil it over the fire, which will kill the bacteria in the air. In addition, being jealous can improve your beauty, being jealous often can soften blood vessels, and adding a little vinegar to your hair can make your hair soft and shiny, etc. Being jealous and being jealous has become an essential part of life. As time goes by, the habit develops, and naturally Shanxi people cannot do without jealousy. This kind of habit is nothing in Shanxi, but to outsiders, it becomes something new.
