Text Appreciation

The original text of "She Opera" has two parts, the front and back, and the text is excerpted from the latter part. The author describes a time when he was a child and watched a social opera, expressing his memories and nostalgia for the beautiful childhood life. Childhood is beautiful and happy for many people. When I look back on the past as an adult, I am filled with a romantic ideal about the people and things at that time. It is an unforgettable experience. Even a fighter like Lu Xun recalls his childhood memories in a warm tone.

1. Enthusiastic childhood friends and simple villagers:

The author creates the image of a group of simple and lovely rural children, such as Shuangxi, Afa, Guisheng, etc. These little friends are smart and lively, bold and careful, friendly and enthusiastic. "I" couldn't see the play, "they all sighed and expressed sympathy"; when the boat was sailing, "the younger ones sat with me in the cabin, and the older ones gathered at the stern" just in case; when watching the play, Guisheng was eager On the way home, Afa suggested to "steal" his own beans on the grounds that "ours are much bigger". These are all outstanding manifestations of their selfless qualities.

Shuangxi is the "smartest" among the friends. He is like the little leader of the friends, and his personality is also the most outstanding: he is as careful as hair, smart and smart, and it is no fun to be "I" , when "I feel anxious to cry", Shuangxi can immediately come up with "good ideas", and can give reasons that "grandmother and mother also believe"; Tietou Laosheng does not do some somersaults at night, "I" is very disappointed, Shuangxi and Comforting "me" with "Who is willing to show his skills to Bai Di" shows the kindness and consideration of a big brother; he dares to take responsibility. When the old lady sings endlessly and everyone is tired of it but it is difficult to say back, he It was he who suggested going home; on the way back, everyone stole the beans from Ah Fa's house. Shuangxi advised everyone to "steal more, and Ah Fa's mother will cry if she finds out", which also showed his good quality of being considerate of others.

The article also depicts the image of simple villagers, represented by the father-in-law of June 1st. When Father-in-Law Liuyi complained about the children stealing his beans, he just blamed them for "reluctance to pick them properly and damaged a lot of them." When he heard that the beans were picked for a treat, he immediately said, "This is what it should be." He was not a stingy person. ; Later, he personally delivered the beans, showing his warm and hospitable character. "I" praised him and "actually felt very grateful", which reflected his honest and kind-hearted nature as a farmer. It's just that saying "want to be the number one scholar" was the fashion at the time. Some people criticized the father-in-law of June 1st for being influenced by feudal ethics, which was a bit extreme.

2. "Promised Land" is a paradise of happiness and freedom:

The author said that Pingqiao Village "is a paradise to me." The countryside with simple folk customs is indeed a paradise of happiness and freedom for a child who grew up in a feudal family and was bound by various rules. As a guest, I "get preferential treatment here", and the shrimps I catch "are mine as usual". The friends take good care of "me", and this kind of friendship and care is vividly displayed in the "Watching the Social Opera" section; Here "I" can avoid reading those outdated and useless scriptures, and there are not so many rules to follow. Even if I "beat the grandfather", "no one in the whole village will come up with the word 'offend'". For "I" who have been suppressed in the feudal moral order since childhood, such freedom is such a precious enjoyment; and in the countryside, I can get close to nature, "dig earthworms", "fish for shrimp" and "herd cattle", which is relatively Compared with the dull life in a town house, it is undoubtedly fresh, interesting and charming.

The author has never forgotten such a "promised land" and such childhood past "until now". In fact, the show that night made people "yawn" and "mutter curses" while watching it. The beans that night tasted really normal the next day. The so-called "good beans like that night" and "good show like that night" are symbols of the innocent, free and interesting life in the past. In the adult life with endless worries and heavy constraints, such symbols become more and more clear and eye-catching in people's memory, guiding people to pursue a better life.

The author uses freehand brushwork to depict the scenes of sailing on a moonlit night, watching a show on the bow, and returning home at midnight from aspects such as color, smell, and sound. The scenes blend together and are full of water town characteristics. The color is like the "green" of beans and wheat, the "light black" of distant mountains, the "brightness" of moonlight, the "red" of fishing fires and lights, and the "white" of ships; the smell is like the "fresh fragrance" of beans, wheat and water plants; the sound is like Such as the "gurgling" sound of the boat, the laughter of the children, and the "melodious" sound of the transverse flute, all aspects are written concisely, cleanly, and vividly. The author also uses metaphors, personification and other techniques, such as showing the speed of the ship and using distant mountains to set it off, "The dark undulating mountains, like the backbones of eager iron beasts, all ran far away to the stern of the ship."
