Be civilized and civilized
The poems of the senior are enjoyable to read, but they are not easy to talk about.
His poems have a "master's demeanor, overflowing with aphorisms", which seems to be easy to come by, but in fact it is painful to use his heart, which is his understanding and awakening of the world's principles and principles. The expressions are eclectic, some are rhapsodies, some are allegro or adagio from old operas, there are fragments of muttering, there are long breaths through, and there are concise and lingering "pinching tea", which can be reluctantly classified as verses and puns according to grammar. His poems, whether long or short, revolve or entangle around a definite direction. His poems are not leisurely, even if it is the theme of entertainment and entertainment, it is also deleted from leisure, "writing poetry is like learning to participate in Zen", he is an awakened person, his poems are bitter wine, drink a few more sips, you can taste the astringency of life hidden in it.
His short essays are improvised, as if he were talking, insightful, emotional, sharp, and evocative. His short articles save face, and they are basically point-to-point. His long articles talk about methods and roads, and he is good at digging "reading traps" for readers, and he has the means to clear the fog and see the light. His articles emphasize the truth and feelings, and the feelings are born from the heart, "the heart is born to stand, and the words are to be civilized". What is rare is that the content of his thinking often flashes "out of line". Dare to poke your head into the "forbidden zone", shake your eyes a few times, and come out again. Cultural shackles need to be broken through by culture, and it is not possible to use brutal military means, and economic levers can only be leveraged by the skin and the outside. The fog wall of Chinese culture is thick, which is our biggest feature. Social progress requires a sober understanding to remove or open up layers of haze. Sober cognition is commonly known as conscience, which is the respectable and lovely point of Xue Baoqin's works.
There are two points of interest in the works of Bao Qin's seniors: sober cultural significance, and the integrity of the text. As the old saying goes, it is "great enjoyment and righteousness, and just in the middle".
Writing an essay with cultural implications and soberly expressing the ability to understand is not emphasized in our contemporary writing, and even consciously avoided. Just like when talking about cooking, it is customary to talk about "color, flavor, and flavor", these three words, everything is talked about, that is, it does not involve nutrition. The understanding of the word "culture" is also a cognitive misunderstanding in our contemporary life. For example, there is a work slogan, called "culture sets up the stage, and the economy sings". This sentence exposes two blind spots, one is that they do not understand the original meaning of culture, and do not know that the economy is also a part of culture. Another violation of a basic rule in the traditional behavior of the Chinese, our ancestors are most disgusted by saying one thing and doing another, and the saying in the market is to hang a sheep's head and sell dog meat. Another example is that today's officials write articles, which is called not doing their job properly in the industry. This sentence makes people wonder twice: First, what is the proper business of officials? Second, the articles before the Qing Dynasty were basically written by officials, and there is an old word called "taste" in the evaluation of articles, and those written by people with good character are called articles, and those without quality and position are called "notes." For example, "Notes on Reading Wei Caotang" was compiled and written by Ji Xiaolan after Zhishi. The ancients wrote articles to advocate a unique understanding of the world and people's hearts, or independent opinions, and these things are the backbone of Chinese culture. Isn't today's article about this? Mao ** said in Yan'an back then, "An army without culture is a stupid army", and he said negligently that an army without culture is stupid. If the cultural cognition of ** was emphasized back then, it is estimated that there would be no such industry reviews today.
Culture is not a superficial thing, nor is it called culture after reading a few more books, and culture without culture is not called culture. That's how I understand cultural people. In China's rural areas, almost every village has such a capable person, who has a wedding and funeral event, he will be invited to cook, and even the neighbors are disrespectful, the family is out of harmony, as soon as he comes forward, the difficult threshold will be crossed. This kind of person is the most basic cultural person. High-level cultural people's ability to understand things and behave in this direction is to step up step by step.
Cultural consciousness, in simple terms, can be understood as problem consciousness, discovery consciousness, and the beauty of discovery in literary expression. The beauty of discovery is not only to be optimistic, beautiful, and tall, but to see not only the highlands and clean places of life, but also the hollows and stains. Every time I chatted with my senior, I could feel his awareness of the problem concretely, and even when it came to small things, he could capture the other side of the matter. Once, at the home of one of his fellow villagers in northern Shaanxi, he told me that he wanted to make efforts to write a book about northern Shaanxi, and I asked him what aspects to start with, and he said that he did not write from a high level, because there were too many specific things in northern Shaanxi that needed to be re-examined, especially some concepts and understandings, which needed to be clarified and clarified. I immediately asked him for a manuscript to be serialized in Meiwen magazine, and he readily agreed, but I don't know whether to give it or not after the book is completed.
Select a few poems in which he reflects on "intellectual youth go to the mountains and go to the countryside" to get a concrete glimpse of the beauty of their discoveries:
In the sky where the banner of "romance and fantasy" is waved high
Ignorance, obedience, fanaticism, and hoarse cries......
Truth is distorted and obscured by lies
Reason is fooled and raped
The wind tears at the pieces of justice
The rain soaked the garments of conscience
Knowledge has been destroyed
Civilization has entered the abyss of ignorance......
It was the great migration of more than 10 million boys and girls
That is spiritual exile
It was a physical test
The history of disasters and people
The momentum happened overnight
Why are thousands of years of ancient civilization so forgetful?
Why are the nerves of a big country so convulsive?
O seed of civilization!
Why it's so vulnerable
Referring to the deer as a disgrace to the horse
Why it's so common
The loss of reason is bound to lead to the opposite of history
The cruelty of feudal autocracy is bound to backfire
After all, the politics of fooling the people will not last long
The sinners of the nation will eventually be judged by the people
——"Memo of Youth: Reminiscences of the Past of Educated Youth"
"Enjoy the righteousness, just in the middle and respond", is the "Book of Changes" in the words, the original words are "moving and healthy, just in the middle and responding." Enjoy the righteousness, and the destiny of heaven is also". The scripture of later generations is interpreted as, "There is no vain, just from outside, and the Lord is within." In today's parlance, it is the righteousness of the motives. Confucius attached great importance to the motivation of literary thinking, "The three hundred poems are, in a word, say: 'Thinking is innocent'". "Thinking without evil" is the basic criterion for Confucius to compile and select the Book of Songs, and it is the bottom line for the selection of works. In ancient times, scholars regarded "keeping the integrity of the heart of the text" as the top priority, and the emperor used "Wenzheng" as a special laurel to attract cultural figures with outstanding contributions, which is the reason why nearly 100 people in the great history of China were given the nickname of "Wenzheng". There is an old couplet in China's old rules of commenting on people and things, emphasizing "righteousness", and there is an old couplet: "All good and filial piety come first, and there is no filial piety in the world. "In the monk's world, what is cultivated is also motivation, the thoughts in the heart, distracting thoughts, and delusions. People are living thoughts, and the hearts of those who are disillusioned are dead, and the engine is turned off. When a person does something, the motivation is the foundation, starting from the good and ending well. Articles are eternal, and it is more important to write articles with honest thinking. If the literary style of an era is decorated, miscellaneous, or even clichés and empty words become public buzzwords, such an era will be taken lightly or even lose its literary heart in terms of literature and thinking. Folk customs and literary style are both major events in society, and the foundation of folk customs is in the people, and it is the way the people live. The source of the style of writing lies in the discourse system, official documents, documents, documents, including the language status of the official media. Han Yu's "Ancient Literature Movement" emphasized that "literary style should not hurt the narrative", which was not a matter in the category of literature, but aimed at the vanity habit of "four and six" in the ** document.
Talking about the article of the senior Baoqin, pulling out the topic of style, is a little far, but he is a civil servant with a position, and he is not unbounded. The simple side of his articles, the upright side of his writing, is really commendable, and at the moment, there is a little bit of mud but not stained.
This article has been written for many days, I don't know how many pieces of paper I tore, and when I write, I feel that I am not writing about Senior Baoqin, and I feel that I am off his track. A stone was thrown into the lake, and the ripples were counted in circles, but when I turned back, I couldn't find the place where the stone landed. A month later, in early November, I went out to Shenyang on this day and saw that most of the trees on both sides of the street had no leaves. Leaves are the outer packaging of the tree and are the adjectives of the tree. A tree without leaves is not verdant, but closer to the essence of the tree. The poems of the senior Baoqin are the trees of Shenyang in November, which have taken off their outer packaging and conveyed their true nature in the swishing wind.
