Chapter 053 King Shu

In the cognition of many Chinese people, in addition to the county seat of their own county, the other is Shangjing.

The county seat is within their ability or the people around them have been, and every street and alley in the county is the object of their relish, and in their hearts, the county seat is both noble and close. Shangjing, on the other hand, only exists in legends, it is distant, sacred, whoever is lucky enough to go to Shangjing, who will be stained with a royal or divine aura, and thus immediately become mysterious and tall.

Yang Xia wanted to participate in the congress held by the Chinese Writers Association, and he was the youngest representative, and the meeting was held in the most sacred official hall!

Therefore, in this twilight, Yang Xia's reputation expanded at a rocket-like speed.

Previously, Yang Xia's reputation was actually limited to a small area, and writers were nothing more than people who could write articles in the hearts of the villagers, and how much difference was there between being able to write articles and being able to grow crops?

An experienced old farmer is not necessarily less confident than a person who can write articles when talking about his crops, so the writer does not have a special advantage in front of the villagers. They couldn't even understand why it was worth hundreds of catties of golden rice when it was just a thin two-page article.

However, going to Beijing is different, and going to Beijing for a meeting is even more different. Count, among the people around you, how many people have you seen go to Beijing for a meeting?

A writer who can write articles is no different from an experienced old farmer; But the writers who can go to Beijing for meetings are different from experienced old farmers, which is equivalent to farming, ordinary old farmers can only plant melons and beans, and experienced old farmers can grow melons and beans and beans, and the growth of experienced old farmers and beans is better than that of ordinary melons and beans, but the writers who can go to Beijing for meetings are like old farmers planting melons and beans, and what they harvest is not ordinary vegetable melons and beans, but harvested golden melons and beans.

Spread with the news that Yang Xia went to Beijing for a meeting, and Dong Qibing, who was famous in ten villages and eight miles, actually ran to Caijiawan in the middle of the night, knelt in front of Yang Xia's house in the middle of the night, and loudly scolded himself for not being a person, a livestock, a pig, blinded by lard, blind dogs, dogs biting Lu Dongbin, not knowing good people's hearts, and when he was tired of scolding, he asked Yang Xia and Yang Wulang to forgive himself, and repeatedly promised to wash his heart and revolution, be a new person, resolutely follow xx, and never do anything harmful to society again.

It is said that in Caijiawan that night, almost every household heard Dong Qibing's miserable howl, but the Yang family has been silent, not knowing that there is a relative crying outside the door!

Of course, this is a miscommunication, Dong Qibing did kneel in front of Yang's house, and did admit his mistake to Yang Xia, but Yang Xia quickly got up and drove Dong Qibing away, this kind of crying is not a thing, although he has grown his majesty, but it also leaves an impression of immorality, in short, it is somewhat immoral.

However, the next day, seeing the strange smell of the neighbors, Yang Xia also realized that Dong Qibing made a fuss and made himself a villain! Yang Xiayun didn't realize that the neighbors in the village looked at him strangely, Dong Qibing was just one of them, and more importantly, the news that he was going to Beijing for a meeting.

The people of Caijiawan have been to the county seat, to Jianmen, and even to the provincial capital, because there are also three people in Caijiawan who work as workers outside and eat imperial grain, one in the coal mine, one in the Forest Industry Bureau, and one is a railway worker. Every year when railway workers go home to visit their relatives during the Spring Festival, they have to pass through the provincial capital. In his house, there is a large photograph of railway workers at the railway station in the provincial capital.

However, all this light is not as good as going to the capital to shine.

Yang Xia only felt it a little. The rest of the time, he had to be busy. The Spring Festival of '79 was in late January, even if it was counted from the winter vacation, to mid-March, Yang Xia only had less than two months.

When he went to Beijing to open a writing association, Yang Xia, as a teenager, naturally listened with his ears, but Yang Xia's current works, to be honest, are a bit light, so he felt that he should use a maximum of 50 days of writing time to write at least one novella and two short stories, and hand them over to relevant writers and editors for "review" at the meeting.

This work association actually brought Yang Xia's creative plan forward.

Yang Xia originally envisioned that he would write poetry and prose in high school, regardless of whether he studied in high school for one or two years, and strive to publish a collection of poems and a collection of essays after graduating from high school; When I entered college, I started writing novels, and I started planning to write short stories, and when I got something from the short stories, I would write novellas and long stories.

Yang Xia's plan just wants to make his growth trajectory seem more "natural". From small to large, from short to long, from thin to thick, it can be regarded as the general law of creation.

What to write about? In his previous life, Yang Xia has been thinking about a theme, and it is also a subject that Nanshu people often reflect on, which is triggered by a common saying, that saying "less into Shu, no old out of Sichuan", the original meaning of this saying is very good, which means that Nanshu is like heaven, when you are young, you should not come here to enjoy happiness, and good men should go outside; If you don't go out of Sichuan, it's so good to guide Shu, since you're old, stay in Nanshu and enjoy it.

Of course, there are many explanations for this sentence.

Yang Xia wanted to write a novel called "The King of Shu", just to tell a story, a person from Shu, a person who lived a very comfortable life, or a group of people who lived a very comfortable life, how they enjoyed the land of abundance. Of course, this story will certainly not be so simple, one day, Zhang Xianzhong suddenly killed, the king of Shu fled with his family, in the case of having to sacrifice the king of Shu himself, the descendants of the king of Shu only settled in a mysterious valley, this valley, easy to defend and difficult to attack, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, the little king of Shu is like his father, addicted to pleasure, never care about things outside the mountain.

Another day, the Manchu Qing Dynasty killed, and it was the policy of keeping the head without hair, leaving the hair without leaving the head, the King of Xiaoshu decided to keep his head without leaving his hair, but, as the old king of the previous dynasty, the family of the King of Xiaoshu had to remain incognito, so that they could survive. Finally one day, the king of Xiaoshu was old, and then he went crazy again, looking at the torrents surging in the valley all day long, and he was chattering about everything and nothing: "If you don't enter Shu, you won't go out of Sichuan......

Due to the characteristics of the geographical location of Southern Shu, there have been many Shu kings in history, and the one that can best express the theme of Yang Xia is not actually the Shu king of the Ming Dynasty, at least not the Shu king of Zhang Xianzhong and the background of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but it can best reflect a profound weakness in the Chinese national character, but it must be relied on in this historical period, so in this novel, "Shu Wang" is a virtual incarnation and one of the thousands of Chinese people; And the ending of the killing of the old Shu king and the driving of the little Shu king is what Yang Xia needs to focus on.

Be prepared for danger in times of peace, reflect, and be vigilant...... It was the subject of all literary and artistic works until later generations.

However, after only writing for a week, Yang Xia knew that this was not a novella, but a long one, no, it should be a super long story of about one million words.

This novel, Yang Xia wanted to write it in his previous life, but he didn't write it, the reason was naturally that his thinking was not mature enough, and after being reborn, with his observation of this special era, Yang Xia did have some understanding. Perhaps, what Yang Xia wrote may not be in line with the mainstream consciousness, for example, the second volume of "Li Zicheng" is about to win the Mao Award in the past two years, and Yang Xia is not in the mood to portray the peasant rebel army in the novel as a hero, and of course he will not deliberately demonize it.

But even if it is not in line with the mainstream consciousness, Yang Xia still wants to express one thing, that is, in a sense, everyone in Huaxia has the consciousness of "King Shu", life is good, live and work in peace and contentment, but Huaxia lacks one thing the most, that is, be prepared for danger in times of peace, of course, this thing can also be called reflection.

Why did Yang Xia write such a thing? The reason is that he has the vision of the afterlife. Objectively speaking, most of the so-called mainstream works in the new period of China cannot stand the test of time, and there are many problems with their artistry. Yang Xia is a reborn person, if he still writes those things to spread falsehoods, Yang Xia is immoral.

If Yang Xia wants to write, he must stand the test of time, for example, a person who tells the truth, some truths can not be said, but he must not tell lies.

As for whether the novel can be published, Yang Xia is not particularly anxious. Because in Yang Xia's plan, only the income from poetry and prose can cover a large part of his expenses.

In fact, since the Yang family took over the pond fort project in Chiquan District, Yang Xia has not taken any money for the family. Earn your own money and spend it yourself, Yang Xia's savings are growing at a monthly rate of more than 200.

For writing, Yang Xia's plan is naturally not so simple, including the whole life, Yang Xia will not simply read the file and finish. China is big, the world is bigger, and the times seem to be even greater! People living in the 70s, even if they are just a Chinese, will not be able to understand the earth-shaking changes brought about by information technology in the next few decades.

When I went home during the winter vacation, other junior high school students and high school students all participated in the labor of the large collective with their parents, but Yang Xia was the only one who hid at home and did not work for a day.

"Little Wuzi, you are so comfortable, you can sleep lazily every day." Sister Yang Chun is often dissatisfied with Yang Xia's performance.

"Hey, I want to go to work, but I lost the face of our Yang family when I went to Beijing, and you are responsible?" Yang Xia shamelessly played the signboard of Shangjing, and used it to deal with his own sister, which shows that the evil in this guy's heart is far beyond ordinary wicked people.

In later generations, some people used the words "calm" and "quiet" when studying Yang Xia's whereabouts during this winter holiday, to the effect that Yang Xia was invited by the Chinese Writers Association to prepare his works, although the works did not receive the affirmation of the relevant publishing institutions, but it is undeniable that the first volume of "King Shu" was completed during this holiday, and the values of "King Shu" were also stereotyped on this holiday.
