2023/9/2 Don't forget the ancient texts

From childhood to adulthood, the ancient texts that can be seen everywhere have left a deep impression on us.

Expressing loneliness - Su Dongpo wrote in "Former Chibi Fu" that "mayflies are parasitic in heaven and earth, a millet in the sea";

Expressing his thoughts - King Wu Yue said to the princess in a letter to his family, "The flowers on Mo are blooming, and they can return slowly";

Expressing the outlook on life - Li Taibai said that "floating life is like a dream, for the joy of geometry".

Ancient Chinese is not far away from us, and in our daily language, words such as worship, defilement, encounter, and disobedience all come from classical Chinese.

Many good sentences that make people sing and sigh, whether it is an article, a modern poem, or a song, we can find the shadow of classical Chinese from it:

I walked through the south of the Yangtze River, and the face in the season is like the blossoming of a lotus flower (Zheng Chouyu's "Mistake")

"Holding an oil-paper umbrella, wandering alone in the long, long and lonely rain alley" (Dai Wangshu's "Rain Alley")

"The old land is like revisiting, and the full moon is even more lonely. The candle flame that is awake in the middle of the night can't bear to criticize me" (Fang Wenshan's "East Wind Breaks")

It can be said that classical Chinese, which has lasted for thousands of years, has also left a deep imprint everywhere in our language and culture today. We say, "The world is so big, I want to see it". It can also be said: "The sky is high and the earth is wide, and you want to see it".

We said, "Don't fall asleep." It can also be said that "the days are short and the nights are long, why not travel with candles".

We describe others as "rich and headstrong". You can also learn from the ancients: "The family has a thousand gold, and the action is from the heart".

Even the four famous works that are no more popular have obvious traces of literary language: if you have a good foundation in ancient literature, you can read the Three Kingdoms and sigh the Red Mansion all night; If the foundation is not good, you can only find the "vernacular version", not to mention the awkward reading, and the unique atmosphere in the original work is gone.

In the process of reading and writing, and daily socializing, it will be chic and interesting to integrate a little charm of classical Chinese.

Classical Chinese, which has lasted for thousands of years, has long left a very deep imprint on our daily life.

There are so many writing techniques in ancient texts that you can use them if you take one or two. People who have deeply experienced the charm of the phrase "There is a loquat tree in the garden, planted by my wife in the year of her death, and now it is like a pavilion", will establish such a cognition in the depths of the subconscious - even a small room, a loquat tree, a daily advice, no matter how small the details, can be equally moving.

This is the technique of "seeing the truth with small things" in "Xiang Zhixuan Zhi". You must know that there are few conflicting and magnificent materials in life, and understanding the true meaning from the ordinary can ensure that our inspiration is endless.
