8 "Wangjiangnan"
"Wangjiangnan"
The author is Wang Xufeng, the winner of the Contradictory Literature Award, I think this is the follow-up to the Tea Man trilogy, when the Tea Man watched it three or four times, I felt that the words were full of the beauty of the Jiangnan Water Town, and the characters were flexible and delicate. In this book, you can glimpse her profound literary literacy, she writes about the world and love, those words and sentences with metaphors.
A long novel, the story of the Jiangnan tea family.
It tells the pessimistic clutch and ups and downs of the Hang family in the past 20 years in a chronicle style. A national affair, a family affair, and a tea affair throughout several eras, and the rise and fall of a tea-making family. During the 20 years from the victory of the Anti-Japanese War in 1945 to the winter of 1964, the ups and downs, joys and sorrows and fates of the "Hang family", a tea family in the south of the Yangtze River. The time span is huge.
The characters in the book are also well portrayed. There are many people in the big family of the Hang family, let's take the eldest brother Hang Jiahe as an example, he is the pillar of the family, and Ye Zi is his virtuous helper, and the two put aside the worldly concept and spend the rest of their lives side by side.
The two of them are the people I like drunk in this book, especially the eldest brother Hang Jiahe, who has responsibility and courage. Whether it is encountering trivial matters in life or political/metallurgical problems, he is not flustered. And the elders are amiable to the children, younger brothers and sisters.
If fate makes people and you can't think about it, you must read Wangjiangnan and listen to what Hang Jiahe said. The heart must be peaceful, the heart can be peaceful, the spirit can be peaceful, and the life can be hopeful.
Even after a big family is separated in the torrent of the times, the eldest brother can still bring this big family together, which makes me admire very much, the family always has to be together. Who doesn't like this kind of responsible and responsible big brother.
Another thing I like about this guy is that he has a lot of backbone and a lot of kindness.
When Hangzhou fell, Hang Jiahe was willing to cut off his finger in order not to play chess with the Japanese. The Wu family is down, and when Hang Jiahe cooks chazuke every year, he will give the finished chazuku to his nemesis Wu Sheng. When Hang Jiahe saw Liu's widow living by selling her property, even if her family was in difficulty, she would still ask her family to send her some daily necessities.
In the book, not only people are written, but also tea is written; Write about the smoke and rain in the south of the Yangtze River; Write about Jiangnan culture; Write about the character and feelings of being a person; Sketching and parting with death; Write about greed and betrayal...... In addition to this big story, I also learned a lot about tea.
Let's light a new fire to try to cook freshly picked tea, and while the good years are still around, we can compose poems and drink to our heart's content.
The good thing about Longjing tea lies in two words, early and tender. Harvesting three days early is a treasure, and picking three days late becomes grass. There is also fried tea, and fried tea is also very particular, divided into green pot, resurgence, and bright pot, but the actions are different.
Therefore, this book combines tea and novels, and integrates tea culture into the novel, and this kind of novel that combines traditional culture is worth seeing.
Life is a difficult journey, you and I are all passers-by, just like stopping and walking in different inns, walking and stopping. People should not be sad about the past, but should be open-minded.
The phrase is beautiful, especially suitable for spring.
"If you say that spring is not late, I will arrive in the real Jiangnan."
