Chapter 264: Those Things in the Ming Dynasty
Over the next few days, Govyn finally calmed his impetuous mind.
In the courtyard, there was still a flow of people coming and going, but Govin did not keep talking and laughing in the crowd as before, wanting to gain the admiration of others.
He began to hide his clumsiness.
Now Govin has slowly developed a habit that whenever the courtyard is the noisiest, he will go out to Houhai for a walk.
The courtyard is located in Ya'er Hutong on the north edge of Shichahai Houhai, not far from Houhai, and it is a good place to let go of the soul.
Houhai is said to be the sea, in fact, it is a huge artificial lake, which is a clear pond exclusively enjoyed by the royal family in the old days, and it is an idle place where there is water and can see the mountains and weeping willows on the shore. The houses and residents on the shore, the surrounding palaces and the former residences of celebrities are more of a Beijing flavor and an infinite charm of history. Walking along the shore of the back coast, you can hear the crisp insect chirping in autumn, you can see the miniature of the old Beijing courtyard complex, and you can still chew on the royal relics that seem to have long gone.
Leaving the crowded courtyard and crossing the Yandai Xiejie Street, the back coast is quiet.
In the Houhai Sea in winter, the trees are sparse, there are few tourists, and there is occasionally a pleasure boat on the lake that rows far away.
Govin walked alone along the lake, with a kind of ancient melancholy.
Now he's thinking.
Pa Lao's letter made Govin realize his impetuousness and made him suddenly repent.
Don't look at his scenery in front of people, radiant, but this glory comes from his past works in newspapers and magazines.
With the passage of time, these works that brought him fame and glory in the past will one day be eliminated by the times, and will be replaced by a new generation of young writers, and if he enjoys the popularity of others as before, he may not be able to lead the times in a few years.
I haven't created a truly immortal work yet, a work that can truly stand the test of time!
Govin smiled bitterly, and Ba Lao's slap woke him up at once, making him realize his shallowness, and his heart was extremely grateful to the old man, and his feelings of admiration for the old man arose spontaneously.
So what do you want to write next?
Because buying a courtyard house cost Gowen's savings, Gowen also wrote some small articles some time ago in exchange for living expenses. It's just that these small articles are his means of supporting his family, and they are not as painstaking and laborious as the previous works he created.
In fact, for so long, don't look at Ge Chuang's creation of so many works, but there is no tome in the real sense.
Reviews, poetry, essays, science fiction, military fiction, ...... No matter how brilliant and dazzling these works are, they cannot bring the writer a prestigious honor like Yan SΓΉ's literature and novels.
Speaking of which, Govin has won many literary awards since he began writing.
His "Taoist Tower" and "Mogao Grottoes" won the National Outstanding Prose and Essay Award of the first Lu Xun Literature Award, "Generation" and "Wheat Land in May" won the National Outstanding Poetry Award of the first Lu Xun Literature Award, "The Rising Poetry Group" won the National Outstanding Literary Theory and Literary Criticism Award of the first Lu Xun Literature Award, and "Ocean Times" won the National Outstanding Prose and Essay Award of the first Lu Xun Literature Award. In terms of science fiction, he almost swept the grand slam of the first China Galaxy Awards, and even "The Country Teacher" won the 13th Japan Nebula Award for Best Overseas Short Story Science Fiction.
Among these awards, the Lu Xun Literature Award is the newly established award with the same name as the Mao Dun Literature Award, and is one of the most prestigious literary awards in China. The Galaxy Award is also the highest award for science fiction in China, not to mention Japan's Nebula Award.
But looking at all the awards he has won, they are all short story awards, and there is no big work!
You must know that whether it is at home or abroad, only novels are always considered by the public to be the thickest and most representative of a writer's creative ability and literary level, and only the ideas and concepts contained in novels can imperceptibly influence more readers and bring more influence and appeal.
The artistic charm of the novel is unmatched by works of other genres!
Besides, don't look at the fact that Ge Wen has won so many awards, although the Lu Xun Literature Award is an award on the same level as the Mao Dun Literature Award, it is only an award that has just been established after all. Needless to say, the Galaxy Award is just a self-entertainment in the Chinese science fiction industry, and it may have great influence in many years, but it is not famous at all.
In China, there are many awards in the literary world, such as the Mao Dun Literature Award, the Lu Xun Literature Award, the National Outstanding Drama Award, the Children's Literature Award, the National Outstanding Novella Award, the National Outstanding Short Story Award, the National Outstanding New Poetry (Poetry Collection) Award, the National Outstanding New Poetry Award for Middle-aged and Young Poets, the National Outstanding Reportage Award, the National Outstanding Prose (Collection) Essay (Collection) Honor Award, the National Outstanding Prose (Collection) Award, and the National Outstanding Essay (Collection) Award......
Among all the awards, the Mao Dun Literary Award has always been the most well-deserved award in the literary world, with the greatest influence, and it is the most popular and recognized award by readers and writers in China. Each of the award-winning writers is proud to have won the Mao Dun Literature Award.
And the object of the Mao Dun Literature Award is the novel!
In foreign countries, although each country has its own national literary awards, the world's highest literary award is still the Nobel Prize in Literature. Not only because of the rich prize money and long history of the Nobel Prize in Literature, but more importantly, the strict selection process of the Nobel Prize in Literature and the eclectic literary concept - every award-winning work and writer is a work of the most literary value that is being created or is only now showing its significance!
It can be said that only when you win the Nobel Prize in Literature can you say that you are the top writer in the world. And the vast majority of the Nobel Prize in Literature winners are also novels! Because in addition to the fact that there are so many countries in the world, with different languages, different cultures, and different histories, only the novel can retain the creator's thoughts and the meaning of the text to the greatest extent in the process of translating from the native language to English.
Govin also wrote a long novel, and "Soldier Assault" is a long novel with a military theme.
Although the literary value is limited and there is no profound ideological connotation, this work of Govin is used to remember the veterans who fought on the front line for the country, but because it carried forward the main theme of patriotic dedication and paid attention to the reality of the war on the Laoshan front, it was quickly recognized by the market and loved by readers.
The achievement and influence of "Soldier Assault" is difficult to achieve with other genres of literature he has written! And the influence of this book will be passed down from generation to generation with each book year after year!
So whatever you're going to write next is bound to be a novel.
As for the subject matter of the writing......
Govin thought of the performance he was invited to see by Wang Xinbo a few days ago.
As Paul stood in the audience and laughed at everyone, at one point, the anger, the complaint, and even the urgency of victory from the audience and even the musicians of the Chinese band felt a little strange to Gowen.
At that moment, Govin thought a lot of things.
Xu Haifeng won the first gold medal in Chinese history at the Olympic Games, the Chinese women's volleyball team won the world championship, "Words of the Yangtze River" caused a ratings frenzy, and his "The Rise of a Great Power" caused a national sensation......
The reason why this is the case is that everyone has fragility, inferiority complex and incomparable loss in their hearts!
After the reform and opening up, the Chinese can finally open their eyes to the world. But with the influx of foreign ideas and goods into China, the Chinese were suddenly blindsided.
What's happening in the world?
How did all the good things change?
originally wanted to liberate France, but French perfume made every Chinese woman's eyes glow golden; Originally, I still wanted to liberate Japan, but Japan's electricity made every Chinese love it; Originally, I wanted to liberate the United States, but the high-rise buildings and prosperous scenery of the United States made every Chinese at a loss......
Since when have we become so backward?
Since when did China become so poor?
The changes in the world have overwhelmed Chinese.
Many people are full of confusion in their hearts, and many people can't find their way. Therefore, the event of any strong country will become a booster for the whole people to boost the national spirit.
In the contradiction between inferiority and self-improvement, the Chinese began to learn from the West, began to follow the same steps, and began to stand up and toddle.
However, they have forgotten how many glorious imprints, how many singing and weeping stories, and how many great deeds have been bred by the motherland's 5,000-year-old culture and 5,000-year-old history......
Dong Shi Xiaofeng will only make people laugh. Because only what is historical is one's own!
Only by sticking to our own culture and our own traditions, and only by drawing strength and knowledge from China's 5,000-year-old profound accumulation, can we truly make China rise!
The ideal appeal of harmony and harmony in Chinese culture, as well as the philosophy of moderation and rationality, are the ideological source and ultimate destination for China to reshape and strengthen the mentality of a great power!
Pure imitation cannot be surpassed at all.
Govin thought of an idea that had popped up on the rock scene - "If that's the case, then I'll definitely let everyone relive the glory and greatness of the past!" β
Then write about the splendor and greatness of some Chinese history!
What should be written?
First of all, it is written in line with historical classics, and it cannot be swaggered and deceived people's children.
Secondly, the writing is easy to understand, not too obscure, so that the reader is drowsy and does not enjoy the fun of reading.
In his memory, the history books he had read in his previous life were like moths, lined up in neat rows, and the order rushed into his mind.
And then in a moment, a book came to light -
"Those Things in the Ming Dynasty"!
(To be continued.) )
