In Guo Dalu's memory, this "Me and the Altar of Earth" in another world is an essay written by the author after his mother's death.
In the article, there are not only thoughts on life and fate, but also nostalgia and guilt for mother.
In the world of Guo Dalu, the mother of the disabled writer Tie Sheng is still alive and well after Tie Sheng's death.
"Live well" may not be quite right, but at least live well.
When Guo Dalu copied this famous prose, he was naturally not stupid enough to plagiarize the original text in its entirety.
In the sentence about "mother", he has made appropriate changes, and there will be no more information about the death of "mother" throughout the article.
Guo Dalu, who has acquired the knowledge of the whole world, has far surpassed many people in terms of insight and even vision, which is an all-round improvement, which can also be reflected in literary accomplishment.
If you want to operate on an article like "Me and the Temple of Earth" according to Guo Dalu's previous literary level, it will definitely be too hard to do it.
But for Guo Dalu, who has condensed the knowledge of a world, this is not something that cannot be done.
After the revision, the meaning of the original text remains unchanged, and even a little color can be added, which is the greatest praise for the deletion and modification.
Most of the readers who bought Tie Sheng's anthology did so out of sympathy for the writer and did not have much hope for his writings.
But after the anthology arrived, the preface made by Guo Dalu alone gave them a surprise.
Most of the consumers who buy anthologies are actually not very old, and the biggest reason why some people buy books is related to Guo Dalu.
Even Guo Dalu, who they regard as a genius writer, admires the writer very much, and Guo Dalu personally wrote a preface to his anthology, for this work, these Guo Dalu fans naturally have no reason to let go.
Because of their age, most of these readers still find it difficult to settle down to read articles with a little depth, but Guo Dalu's "Me and the Altar of Earth" made them interested in reading traditional literature for the first time.
The beautiful sentences, deep emotions, and smooth narration in this article attracted them to read it, and their eyes were reluctant to take off for a moment when they read it, and they were really relieved until they finished reading the whole prose.
Through this article, they felt for the first time the beauty of traditional literature with concise sentences and smooth narratives.
Some people say that there is no first article, because the same article, for different people, may have different opinions, but even if the views are different, they can still distinguish the good and bad of the article itself.
This prose, even sixteen or seventeen-year-old teenagers and girls can feel the strong emotions and philosophical reflections in it, and even children who don't read much can dimly feel that this prose is very good, as for what is good, they may not be able to say, but they just think it is good.
It's like eating a good meal, but it's really hard for ordinary people to describe what is good.
It's just a feeling, a feeling that is the most difficult thing to describe in words or words, and it's a unique feeling that can only be understood but not spoken.
But good is good, bad is bad, and the taste doesn't deceive.
The readers who watch Tie Sheng's anthology are not only young people, but also some groups with very high literary literacy.
These people also read popular literature and traditional literature, whether it is spring and white snow, or Xia Riba people, they can read it, and this group of people can be called omnivores in the readership.
Of course, there is also a group of people who only read traditional literature, but they disdain market culture and popular literature.
But after Guo Dalu's preface came out, whether it was a traditional literature lover with a high eye, an omnivorous reader, or a young reader who didn't quite understand what literature was, after reading it, they all felt a shock from the depths of their hearts.
The day after the release of Tiesheng's anthology, readers began to leave messages under Guo Dalu's Weibo.
The wind of my hometown: "I haven't read Tie Sheng's work, but I have read the preface written by Guo Ye several times, and the more I read it, the more I feel that it is really good! I still can't accurately say what is good about Guo Ye's prose, but I can say very responsibly, whether it is in the first 30 years or the next 30 years, there will be no more such excellent prose, I think this should be regarded as a masterpiece. ”
What I want is a gourd: "Ibid., Guo Ye's "Me and the Altar of Earth" should be regarded as a masterpiece for me, I am a very miscellaneous reader, novels, prose, poetry, and even the five elements of gossip fortune-telling have also been read, but there has never been such an article so shocking my heart, that is a trembling beauty!"
Bending the bow and shooting the eagle owl: "I usually only like to read martial arts novels, and rarely read other works, especially traditional literature. Except for the articles in Chinese textbooks that I had to study in school, my extracurricular reading materials no longer have any traditional literary works, but Guo Ye's altar has changed my view of contemporary traditional literary works. ”
The past is like the wind: "Guo Ye's essay alone is worth the price of a whole set of books! I bet that when the next Chinese Literature Award is selected, Guo Ye's essay will definitely win the award, and if there is no nomination, there will be no need for the Writers' Association to exist!"
I am the sun: "Yes, Guo Ye's essay did not win the award, and heaven is intolerable!"
Under Guo Dalu's Weibo, there are praises for Guo Dalu throughout, and even traditional writers who have always opposed Guo Dalu have collectively fallen silent this time.
Some readers began to copy beautiful sentences from their prose, and those sentences went viral on the Internet.
For example, "The bee is like a small mist that stops steadily in mid-air; The ant shook its head and stroked its tentacles, suddenly thought through something, turned and hurried away; The ladybug crawled impatiently, and when it was tired of praying, it spread its wings and flickered into the air; There is a cicada on the trunk, lonely as an empty house; The dew rolled on the blades of grass, gathered, bent the blades of grass and crashed into ten thousand golden rays. ”
For example, "I can see even now how I will miss it if one day I have to leave it for a long time, how I will miss it and dream about it, how I will not dream of it because I dare not miss it." ”
There is even a long excerpt from the saying, "If the time of day corresponds to the four seasons, of course spring is morning, summer is noon, autumn is dusk, and winter is night."
If you were to use instruments to correspond to the four seasons, I think it would be trumpet in spring, timpani in summer, cello in autumn, and horn and flute in winter.
What if the sounds of the garden correspond to the four seasons? In spring, the whistle of the doves floating above the altar, in the summer the long song of cicadas and the clattering of poplar leaves make fun of the song of the cicadas, in the autumn the sound of wind chimes on the eaves of the ancient temple, and in the winter the random and empty pecking of woodpeckers.
The scenery in the garden corresponds to the four seasons, spring is a path that is sometimes pale and sometimes black, sometimes bright and sometimes gloomy in the sky, swaying with bunches of flowers; In summer, there are dazzling and scorching stone benches, or shady and mossy stone steps, with fruit peels at the bottom of the steps, and half of a crumpled newspaper on the steps; In autumn there was a large bronze bell, and in the northwest corner of the garden there was a large bronze bell, which was the same age as the garden, covered with green rust, and the writing was no longer clear; In winter, it is a few old sparrows with fluffy feathers in the glades. Spring is the season of bedriddenness, otherwise it is not easy for people to discover the cruelty and longing of spring; In the summer, lovers should fall out of love during this season, otherwise they will seem sorry for love; In autumn, when I bought a potted flower from outside, I put the flowers in my home, and opened the window to let the sunlight into the house, and slowly remembered and slowly sorted out some moldy things; Winter with a fire and books, a; Over and over again, I was determined to be immortal, and I wrote letters that did not send out.
It is also possible to correspond to the four seasons in an artistic form, so that spring is a painting, summer is a novel, autumn is a short song or poem, and winter is a group of sculptures.
What about dreams? What about the four seasons with dreams?
Spring is a cry on the tip of a tree, summer is a drizzle in a shout, autumn is a land in a drizzle, winter is a lonely pipe on a clean earth......"
These beautiful sentences attracted a lot of netizens, and then these netizens bought the entire anthology without hesitation based on these sentences.
As some readers have said, "These passages alone are enough for them to buy this book and collect it." ”
Guo Dalu is once again popular on the Internet!
This time he was not because of martial arts novels, nor because of some sensational event, but simply because of an essay he had done for someone else's anthology.
Sometimes the charm of literature lies in this, and the power of words lies in this.
