Chapter 99: The craze caused by "The Taoist Tower".
With the publication of Bingxin's literary review published in Wen Wei Po, Gewen's essay, "Taoist Tower", which had already attracted the attention of many people, finally caused a sensation in the literary world again. Soon, the literary and artistic pages of many newspapers were completely occupied by the book reviews of "Taoist Tower", and readers' letters, literary reviews, and articles were appreciated......
"I have read the prose for many years is really countless, no matter what kind of feelings each prose expresses, no matter how beautiful and exquisite the author's words are, it will not make me have a huge sense of resonance, but the first time I saw the "Taoist Tower", my heart was full of emotion and indignation, the author Govine for the Chinese nation has suffered that kind of pity and hatred, let each of us empathize, in the heart of arouse a strong hatred of the enemy! Such a prose with a strong cultural heritage, such an article with strong patriotic feelings and humanistic atmosphere, is really as Mr. Bingxin said, it has opened up a new path and a new text for contemporary Chinese prose! ”
Many writers in the literary world began to write articles to express their opinions, and most writers gave a very high evaluation to Gowen's "Taoist Tower", they agreed with Mr. Bingxin's opinion, and also believed that Gowen's "Taoist Tower" opened up a new line of thought for contemporary prose, which is a new innovation.
In fact, Govyn was not very happy that these people had come forward to praise him, and he knew that his article would cause a huge response long before Harvest published his article. However, when Govin saw that "Wen Wei Po" published Mr. Bingxin's commentary, he couldn't help but jump up from his chair. Bingxin actually wrote an article to comment on his article, and such a thing was really unexpected by him.
Bingxin is also a writer he admires and admires, and in his previous life, when he was in elementary school, there was a text called "Little Orange Lantern". Govin always remembered that he had made a small lamp out of oranges himself. The author of this text is Mr. Bingxin, but Govyn prefers Bingxin's poetry, and when he was a young student, "Starry Spring Water" was a collection of poems that he often read.
Now that I can get Mr. Bingxin's praise and favor, this unexpected harvest is really happy.
In the next few days, the evaluation of "Taoist Tower" finally reached its peak. Not only the literary world, but also the general readership began to discuss Gowen's article enthusiastically.
"The sorrow of Dunhuang is the sorrow of China, and the sorrow of Dunhuang is the sorrow of every Chinese historian. The sorrow of Dunhuang is the sorrow of every Chinese. The deeds of that era have long been traceable, and when all the hatred is still brewed, no matter how sad the cry is, it can only be an echo on the desert yellow sand.
Wang Taoist was a farmer who improved the living environment. Painting the house. Shaping the Heavenly Master Spiritual Officer, in his opinion, everything is the most natural thing. As for the sale of cultural relics, I don't see anything inappropriate, and it is unrealistic to ask Wang Daoist to see through the conspiracy of foreign looters; It is even more unreasonable to put the heavy responsibility of cultural relics protection on Wang Daoshi. So what's the crux of the matter? Where does ignorance and ignorance come from? -- Another cliché answer, it is feudal etiquette and the incompetence of the monarch.
Today, we can no longer appreciate what was going on back then, because we live in an enlightened age, then. Should we avoid a modern "Taoist Tower" sadness and a scientific "ignorance"? Should China also learn to face some real changes? ”
……
In fact, the reason why Govyn's "Taoist Tower" can cause such a big sensation. There is a great deal of inevitability.
Since the reform and opening up, the hearts of the Chinese who have come out of the catastrophe are full of confusion, and the rapid development of the world has made many people lost, and they can no longer find a sense of self-confidence. Therefore, as long as the country is strong, it may become a national booster to boost the national spirit, they want the motherland to be strong, they want the country to be rich and strong, they hope that they can be recognized by the world! At this time, CCTV broadcast the TV documentary "Words of the Yangtze River", which allowed Chinese audiences to see the human geography of the motherland comprehensively and intuitively for the first time, thus inspiring everyone's national pride and being warmly welcomed by the people of the whole country.
Although the content described in Gowen's "Taoist Tower" is different, the strong Chinese historical and humanistic customs in the article are in the same vein as "Words on the Yangtze River". Compared with the real commentary of the narrator of "Words on the Yangtze River", the text of "Taoist Tower" is undoubtedly more artistic charm, and "Taoist Tower" is not just a description of the historical relics landscape like "Words of the Yangtze River", it evokes readers' regrets about history from a deeper perspective, and can resonate more with people.
Therefore, "Taoist Tower" not only caused a huge sensation in the literary world, but also caused a strong sensation among ordinary readers.
Govin smiled at the various newspapers on the table, and in the supplement, there were many readers' comments about "Taoist Tower", which were basically praised, and being able to be loved by the majority of readers undoubtedly made Govin happy and satisfied more than receiving praise from the literary world. Literary creation is not intended for writers or elites, its task is to serve the vast number of readers, and it is obvious that his "Taoist Tower" has achieved this effect.
Govin folded the "Wen Wei Po" on the table, and then flipped out a copy of the "Shanghai Daily", he went directly to the supplement to read, and sure enough, there were still readers' comments about "Taoist Tower" on the subpage. One of these comments caught Gowen's attention was that he saw a comment written by a student.
"The article "Taoist Tower" is about a historical tragedy, a heavy cultural historical fact. The problems it reveals are heart-wrenching, heart-wrenching, and a sigh of powerlessness for that era and for our nation. The tragedy of history has inevitably happened, and the pain that has lasted for decades cannot be avoided, but fortunately, some people have suppressed this grief in their hearts, turned their grief and anger into strength, buried their heads and worked hard, made up for the regrets left by their predecessors, and also won the recognition of the world! Aren't the actions of these people an example that each of us needs to learn from? ……”
After reading this comment, Gewen showed a faint smile, the reason why he wrote "Taoist Tower" in the first place to retain the passage about Dunhuang experts in his previous life Yu Qiuyu is that he feels that what he wrote is more profound and sad than what Yu Qiuyu wrote, so at the end, it is necessary to put the finishing touch on the sublimation of feelings, so that readers can come out of this sad emotion, so that they can establish a positive attitude after reflection. However, the paragraph of Yu Qiuyu in the original work is really good, so he personally called the experts of Dunhuang Studies through Ba Jin's connection to verify some things, and supplemented the plot at the end of Yu Qiuyu's original work about the contributions made by Chinese Dunhuang scholars to Dunhuang Studies and was praised by other countries.
Educating the people of the country to turn grief and anger into strength and study and work harder is the deep meaning of creating "Taoist Tower"!
Thinking that the circulation of "Harvest" magazine has more than one million copies, then at least more than one million readers will see this article, plus the reprint of other newspapers and magazines, there will be more readers who have read "Taoist Tower", as long as one percent of readers can understand a certain motivation from their own article, then their hard work is not in vain, then their efforts are worth continuing to do!
Gewen glanced at a manuscript on the other side of the desk, and couldn't help but smile, and the three words "Mogao Grottoes" at the top of the manuscript were clearly visible.
"Hehe, I'm proud to see my article praised by so many readers, right?" At some point, Barkin walked over with his hands behind his back, and he looked at Govyn's appearance and smiled.
"Ba Lao!" Govin quickly got up from his chair.
Ba Jin's gaze swept over Govyn's desk, and then he noticed the "Wen Wei Po" that was put aside by Govin alone, this "Wen Wei Po" was folded up, and on the front was Bingxin's article commenting on "Taoist Tower". Ba Jin smiled slightly, then picked up this "Wen Wei Po" from the table and looked at it.
Seeing his old sister's article again, Ba Jin was still a little happy in his heart, not only happy that Gowen's article was well written and loved by the majority of readers, but more importantly, because Gowen's essay made a big stone in his old sister Bingxin's heart fall to the ground.
Ba Jin still remembers Bingxin's excited voice on the phone three days ago, this old sister has always been worried about the lifeless atmosphere in the Chinese prose world, although she knows that the style of prose has limited it and it is impossible to create various genres like novels, but seeing more and more literary genres glow with new vitality, Bingxin, who has become famous for prose, is still full of emotion and unwillingness. Then Govyn's "Taoist Tower" appeared, which was like a ray of light for Bingxin to see a new field in the development of prose.
That's why Bingxin couldn't wait to call Ba Jin, so Bingxin stood up so quickly to write a review, calling on other prose writers to learn from Gowen, broaden their thinking, and be innovative. She also has the same enthusiasm for the development of literature and prose as herself!
Looking at the distinct personal color in Bingxin's comment in the newspaper, and looking at Bingxin's earnest expectation in the comment, the corners of Ba Jin's mouth cracked a smile slightly, and he only saw that the second monk Gewen was puzzled.
