Yang Guan Xue

Yu Qiuyu

(1) I once had a fate, looking up at the White Emperor City on the river boat at dusk, climbing the Yellow Crane Tower against the thick autumn frost, and touching the Hanshan Temple on a winter night. All around me, there are so many people, almost all of them, that few poems that don't need to be quoted echo in their hearts. People come to find scenery, but also to find poetry. Sometimes, this kind of anxiety is like the search for a lost homeland, a visit to a separated loved one.

(2) The magic of the literati can turn a remote corner of the huge world into a hometown in everyone's heart. What kind of spell is hidden in their faded green shirts?

(3) Today, I went to Yangguan for Wang Wei's "Weicheng Song". Before leaving, I inquired about the old man in the county seat where I stayed, and the answer was: "The road is far away, and there is nothing to see, but there are some literati who have worked hard to find it." The old man looked up at the sky and said, "This snow does not stop falling, so don't suffer from this." I bowed to him and turned to get into the snow.

(4) As soon as you get out of the small county town, it is a desert. There was nothing but a vast expanse of snow white, not even a single wrinkle to be found. When you are traveling elsewhere, you always have to find a target for yourself in each section, keep an eye on a tree, rush over, and then stare at a stone and rush through. Here, even if you open your eyes, you can't see a target, not even a dead leaf, a black spot. So, I had to raise my head and look at the sky. I had never seen such a complete sky, and it was not swallowed at all, and the edges were all stretched out, and the earth was tightly covered. There is such a land, and the genius is called heaven. When there is such a heaven, the earth is called the earth. Walking alone in such a world, the dwarf also became a giant. Walking alone in such a world, the giant also became a dwarf.

(5) The sky was clear, the wind had stopped, and the sun was shining. A few wisps of smoke gradually drifted out of the sky, but they did not move, but they deepened, and after a long period of doubt, they realized that it was a ridge that had just melted snow. The unevenness of the ground has become a kind of terrifying paving—it is all mounds of distant years, so many and so densely arranged, that there can only be one understanding: this is an ancient battlefield.

(6) I walked dazedly in the graveyard with no edge in sight, and Eliot's "The Waste Land" came to my mind. This is the wasteland of Chinese history: the horse's hooves like rain, the cry of thunder, and the blood of infusion. The white hair of the loving mother in the Central Plains, the distant view of the spring boudoir in the south of the Yangtze River, and the night cry of the childish child in Huxiang. With a burst of smoke and dust, another cloud of smoke and dust, they all drifted away. I believe that the dead were facing the enemy in the north of Shuo when they died, and I believe that they were eager to turn back at the last moment and give a look at the familiar land. So they fell down in a twist and turned into a pile of sand.

(7) There are already shadows of trees in the distance. Hurrying there, there was water under the trees, and the sand had a high and low slope. When I climbed a slope, I suddenly looked up and saw a barren mound on the peak not far away, and I was intuitively convinced that this was Yangguan. Turn a few turns, go straight up a sandy slope again, climb to the bottom of the mound, look around, there is a monument nearby, engraved with the words "Yangguan Ancient Site".

(8) This is a commanding height overlooking the four fields. The northwest wind was mighty, and it stumbled a few steps before it stopped. His feet were still, but he could clearly hear the sound of his teeth chattering. The snow here hasn't melted, and certainly won't. The so-called ancient site, there is no trace of it, only the nearby beacon tower is still there, which is the mound I just saw. Most of the mound has collapsed, and you can see layers of mud and sand, layers of reeds, and reeds fluttering out, shaking in the cold wind after a thousand years. Right now, the mountains in the northwest are covered with snow, cascading up to the sky.

(9) Wang Wei is really gentle to the extreme. For such a Yangguan, the bottom of his pen still does not show a fierce and horrified look, but only writes elegantly: "Persuade the gentleman to have a glass of wine, and there is no one to go out of Yangguan in the west." This glass of wine, friends must have drunk it all without refusal.

(10) This is the style of the Tang people. Most of them will not shed tears and lamentations, and insist on dissuading. They have a far-sighted vision, and their life path spreads wide. Farewells are frequent, and steps are liberal. This kind of demeanor, in Li Bai, Gao Shi, and Cen Shen, is more and more heroic. Among the ancient statues in the north and south, the Tang statues can be recognized at a glance, the body is so fit, the eyes are so calm, and the spirit is so confident. However, the Tang Dynasty did not extend its self-confidence as an artist for a long time. Wang Wei's poems and paintings are all unique. However, the palace in Chang'an only opened a narrow side door for the artists, allowing them to bend in as cowardly attendants to create a little entertainment. The wind and snow in Yangguan are becoming more and more miserable.

(11) As a result, the style of painting in Kyushu was darkened. Yangguan, it is no longer difficult to enjoy warm and mellow verses. There are still literati in Yangguan in the west, but most of them have become officials and ministers. Even if it is a mound, it is a stone city, and it can't stand the blowing of so many sighs, and Yangguan collapses, and it collapses in the spiritual territory of a nation. It will eventually become a ruin, a wasteland. Behind him, the sand grave is like a tide, and in front of him, the cold peak is like a wave.

(12) No one can imagine that here, more than 1,000 years ago, the magnificence of life and the magnificence of artistic feelings were verified.

(13) Go back, it's not too early. I'm afraid it's going to snow.

【Answer Analysis】Test Question Analysis:

【Question 1】This question is a function topic, and from the perspective of the question stem, it is the effect of non-subject materials on subject materials. The first two paragraphs of the article did not write about Yangguan, but first wrote about themselves and then wrote about people's historical and cultural plots, and the last sentence of the second paragraph used a question to arouse people's thinking, which shows that the first two paragraphs are the momentum for the following to write Yangguan, which also causes the following.

【Question 2】The sentence drawn in the sixth paragraph is the author's association with the wasteland of Chinese culture, and the author uses three metaphors in the first three sentences, which are the author's associations and imaginations, and at the same time constitute a comparison. The last three sentences use the technique of analogy to highlight the longing for fellow relatives. The sentence with the line drawn, six sentences, uses two sets of rankings, highlighting the battlefield battle and the thoughts of relatives, enhancing the tone and being infectious.

【Question 3】The phrase "It is no longer possible to enjoy warm poetry" appears at the beginning of paragraph (11) of the article, which connects the context of paragraph (10) and paragraph (11) of the article. Paragraph (10) concludes: "The wind and snow in Yangguan have become more and more miserable. That is, it is no longer mellow, so the first sentence should be the content of the answer: "The palace of Chang'an only opened a narrow side door for the artists, allowing them to enter as cowardly attendants to create a little entertainment." In paragraph (11), the following line of "It is no longer possible to enjoy warm and mellow verses" reads: "There are still literati who go out of Yangguan in the west, but most of them have become officials and courtiers." This is also the content of the answer. Finally, it is enough to summarize these two sentences.

【Question 4】The "suffering" of the author's Yangguan journey should be reflected in two aspects, one is the author's own journey, and the other is Yangguan. As far as the author is concerned, it is mentioned in paragraphs (3) and (4) of the article: suffering alone, suffering from the environment, weather, and long distance. As far as Yangguan itself is concerned, Yangguan "will eventually become a ruin and a wasteland." Behind him, the sand grave is like a tide, and in front of him, the cold peak is like a wave. ", so "bitter".

Test point: This question tests students' ability to analyze the structure of the work, experience the rich connotation and expressiveness of the sentence, and the ability level is C and D.
