Chapter 137: Me and the Temple of Earth
In this era, if you want to say that the most limelight type of person, it is naturally an acting star. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
In the eyes of some people, some national-level events are not even as good as a star's lace news.
The death of a heroic general of the Anti-Japanese War has not yet paid much attention to the injury of a singer.
Today, capital has a relatively large right to speak, and the direction of public opinion is worrying.
is like Guo Dalu, in fact, if you really want to talk about the quality and depth of the works, the "Legend of the Condor Heroes" and "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" he writes now cannot be compared with Tie Sheng's works at all.
Whether it is the depth and breadth of the work, or the feelings revealed in the text, martial arts novels are not far behind.
But if you write well, you don't necessarily sell well!
The deepening of literary depth is inevitably accompanied by the difficulty of reading words and sentences, which hinders the pleasure of reading.
This kind of elaborate article needs to be read slowly, and if you read it at a glance and ten lines, you will naturally not be able to appreciate the beauty of it, but in today's impetuous society, there are fewer and fewer people who can really calm down and read, and the fast food culture of fast food has begun to rise.
Nowadays, people read books just to relax, and they don't expect to get any nourishment from them, as long as they write something new and interesting, they are willing to spend money on it.
On the other hand, some books written by traditional authors, although they spend a lot of time and think that they have a certain level of ideological and literary quality, but the sentences are condescending and the storyline progresses slowly, which is naturally disliked by most readers.
The reader is not the author, and the literary literacy and reading depth are very different from the author group.
Most readers still prefer to read light-hearted articles, and it is simply impossible for serious literature to do popular literature in the market.
is like Tie Sheng's work, although everyone applauds, but it is not very popular.
In the more than 20 years he has been writing, he has received most of the money he has received from manuscript fees and literary awards, and as for royalty income, he has received very little.
Traditional literature is gradually entering a period of death, and if it wants to develop and grow, it can only look forward to the next rebirth.
On a normal trajectory, Tie Sheng's portfolio may outsell some traditional writers, but it will never be a hit.
But with Guo Dalu's assistance, the popularity and sales of this collection have exploded in the land of China at a shocking speed, and many readers and fans of Guo Dalu have become interested in this author who has been strong all his life.
Most of them had never read Tie Sheng's works, nor had they heard of this man's name, but after reading his life on the Internet, they were immediately moved by him, and when Tie Sheng's works went on sale, most of them paid for a set.
The reason why these people buy Tie Sheng's works is not not for the work itself, but because they admire Tie Sheng's own difficult life and his strong qualities.
Of course, the most important thing is Guo Dalu's influence, if there is no god Guo Dalu to assist, no one will be interested in such a writer.
And the writers who can make Guo Dalu admire, they naturally have to understand it well, and then they see the long preface written by Guo Dalu for the collection.
Guo Dalu writes at the beginning of the preface:
It is difficult to have an exact definition of what such a thing is from ancient times to the present, but its existence is unquestionable.
Although the group of life has always multiplied, there will always be a day when a single individual will die, including you and me, no one can escape.
It's brutal and real, and it's the ultimate question that all of us must face and will eventually face.
Life can only be regarded as a process, for an actor, he is a movie, or a TV series, for the actor, life is a big drama, for the author, it should be regarded as a book, and the thickness of this book is related to his wisdom experience.
The movie will end, the drama will come to an end, and the book will be finished.
It is like the fire of life, which will one day be extinguished.
Since there is no escaping, then how to make yourself calm or wonderful in the process of performing or reading, this is what we have to do.
This is something that Tie Sheng has done very well, perhaps because his long-term illness has made him closer to the essence of life, so he has a unique understanding of life itself.
He has taken the big book of life in stride, and what emerges from his pen is exactly what many of us need and cannot understand.
His work is suitable for recommending to anyone, regardless of status, because there is no high or low in life itself.
If you want to interpret life, I suggest that you start with his works.
The following is a small essay that I wrote with his vision after reading all his works, this article belongs to him, not mine, and I just return it to him now.
———— Guo Dalu

After this preface, the reader sees the title of an article called "Me and the Altar of Earth."
Under the title, people see this article carved by life and wisdom:
One
In several novels, I have mentioned an abandoned ancient garden, which is actually the Temple of Earth.
Many years ago, tourism had not yet begun, and the garden was deserted and deserted, and few people remembered it.
The Temple of Earth is very close to my house.
Or maybe my house is very close to the altar of earth.
In short, I have to think that this is fate.
The Temple of Earth was located there more than 400 years before I was born, and since my grandmother brought my father to Beijing when she was young, she has lived not far from it—she has moved several times in more than 50 years, but she has always moved around it, and the closer you have been to it.
I often feel that there is a taste of fate in this: as if this ancient garden is just waiting for me, and I have been waiting there for more than 400 years after all the vicissitudes of life.
It waited for me to be born, and then for me to live to the most arrogant age when I suddenly crippled my legs.
For more than 400 years, it has eroded the exaggerated glaze of the eaves of the ancient hall on one side, faded the vermilion on the door wall, collapsed a section of high walls and scattered jade carved railings, the old cypress trees around the altar are more and more gloomy, and the wild grasses and vines everywhere are also lush and free.
I guess it's time for me to come.
One afternoon fifteen years ago, I entered the garden in a wheelchair, ready for a lost man.
At that time, the sun was getting bigger and redder along its eternal path. In the quiet light that fills the garden, it is easier for one to see the time and see one's own figure.
I have not been away from it for long since I had stumbled into the garden that afternoon.
I understood its intent at once. As I put it in one of my novels: "In a densely populated city, there is such a tranquil place, like God's painstaking arrangement." ”

When Tie Sheng's collection of works was on sale, Song Taiping, as the vice chairman of the Writers Association, also bought a set out of his own pocket for study, of course, he only studied Tie Sheng's works, and had nothing to do with Guo Dalu.
But since I bought this book, I always have to read it.
After opening the book in the office, Song Taiping wanted to skip Guo Dalu's preface and read the text directly, but an unconvinced psychology made him look at it from the beginning after all.
He made up his mind, as long as Guo Dalu's writing was not good, he would let the people below post a refutation, and he himself would not come out to provoke Guo Dalu's cannon barrel again.
When he saw Guo Dalu's preface, Song Taiping smiled, "It's a cliché, there's nothing new!"
When he saw the title of the book "Me and the Altar of Earth", Song Taiping was even more disdainful, "Using the Temple of Earth as a gimmick just to attract the attention of readers, what's the point of grandstanding?"
When he saw Guo Dalu say "a small article written with Tiesheng's vision", Song Taiping was even more disdainful, "Who do you think you are?
Then he continued to look down, and this time, he watched for nearly half an hour, during which his face kept changing, with surprise and disbelief, and a trace of admiration that was not obvious.
He pinched his brows in the office and did it for a long time, until he arrived at the door of the house, and his spirit was still a little trance.
It wasn't until he took out the key to open the door that he realized that he was still holding the collection of works he had just read in his hand.
