If you brag about not paying personal income tax, Then, I can brag confidently and boldly: I "watched" Ziyi's turn from a essayist to a scholar. In this way, I did not underestimate the meaning of proseists. Good essayists are all scholars and thinkers, but that kind of babbling and humming prose is clichéd and often forgotten. Of course it expresses a little Personal little affection is harmless and good for health. This kind of writing instrument is probably also handy in writing. From the advantage, it is perceptual and meticulous, and can capture many subtleties in the heart; but on the other hand, it is also cookie-cutter and lacks personality. It is rare to get a great realm after ten years of hard work. On the contrary, it is like a wood-drilling bug. The deeper you drill, the tighter you restrict yourself, and the space becomes narrower. The words in "Eye of Jiangnan Literati" are different. They have the talents of little women, and there is no lack of the neatness of a man who waved away the smoke of history. Of course, there are also old pedantic book bags from time to time.
I think that Ziyi didn’t want to be a scholar to scare the doctors or grab their jobs. All she did was due to her love for the water, soil, history and culture of Jiaxing. This love is like dry wood. It ignited the fire of her interest, and put her bags into action. Look at her writing about Xitang, her eagerness to hate the world for not appreciating the night of Xitang, and she stuns her feet again and again like she embraces beautiful jade and no one appreciates. It is not easy to write about various characters from different eras. In addition to field inspections, she does not know how much she has to work behind her back. She often travels between libraries for a piece of information. To make up a lot of lessons that people of the science class are accustomed to, I often marvel at her thoughtfulness, such as sorting out Fang Lingru's letters, which is nothing but heartless work for many people, but she captures a loneliness from the text. The mood of the poetess, and she has contacted many people with Fang Lingru, even Fang’s elderly nanny visited. If Ziyi's "scholar's road" is still very long, then her enthusiasm and enthusiasm is the best guide. What's more, with her in-depth study, she gradually found her own interest and direction. There are more and more quotation marks and book titles in the articles, as if she is a scholar!
Jiaxing is a place I always respect. It not only has a series of historical and cultural celebrities I admire, but also allows me to see the roots of culture in an impetuous era. My limited contact has also deepened my impression of "learning from the people", because in universities where professors and doctoral supervisors are all over the sky, I see less and less of their enthusiasm and focus on academics, and it is harder to see them. "White Heart". However, in Mr. Wu Ooting’s study, in his notes, in Mr. Wu Xieyuan’s knife marks, in Mr. Fan Xiao’s bookstore, and even in this manuscript of Ziyi, I saw what they loved for themselves. The heart and soul who devote their efforts to calm and relax, and thus developed their unique lifestyle. I know that there are still many high-ranking people like Jiaxing. The rich history and culture give them confidence. What they do has nothing to do with fame and fortune, but embraces the spirit and soul. Contemporary society should accept and fully realize these cultural achievements. Value, maybe they don’t have titles or titles, but their behaviorThe body is a manifestation of the lifeblood of culture. Every time
comes to Jiaxing, I am in a hurry. Many places I want to taste carefully are difficult to achieve, and I often regret it. But with these words of Ziyi, my impression of walking around and looking at flowers deepened, and the doubts raised in the glimpses of light and glimpses were answered, and I seemed to be visiting seniors with the author's pen.
When the snow is falling in Meihua Temple, I can't come to talk with my friends, read the text of Ziyi and hope to quench my thirst. There are many subtle points that Ziyi used her prose skills to capture one by one. Reading such texts also gave me a lot of emotion. For example, the former residence of Shen Zengzhi, which I visited on a rainy day this spring, gave me the impression of the loneliness that Ziyi said. The house and courtyard all give people a gloomy feeling, coupled with the fact that there are few people, it really makes people sigh the fate of a scholar. I was thinking at the time that people now speculate on his words everywhere in the auction market, but often do not say anything about his knowledge. It is really because of our shallowness and because of his knowledge, we can't continue, so naturally we can't talk about it. What's out, and the words? Anyway, you can comment on a few sentences without pretending to understand, and more importantly, don't you just say it, isn't it valuable? I think what would the old man look like if he were alive? For scholars of that era repeatedly praised his writing well, but pretended to ignore the real hard work, would he smile bitterly and sigh? It’s just like today’s people who can operate computers are nothing. His loneliness makes me feel that Ziyi's evaluation of "new" and "old" is a bit harsh. After all, everyone has everyone's life experience and cultural world. This cannot be borrowed or transplanted. It is an era. There are trendy people, there are people who watch the tide, and there are people on the upstream. The choices are different, and there is not necessarily a difference between superior and inferior. For this, I often dislike those current reviews and think that some things are not as serious as people say, including right Zhu Zhuyin.
is pulling a long way, come back to Ziyi, if she is required to be strict with her as her unskilled friend, I think as the interest deepens, she should go deep into the spiritual world of these people, Let everyone feel their spirits while touching the souls of the sages. This point seems to be missing from the current text, but Ziyi is not impossible, because it is obvious that she has been transformed by this culture. , As long as you can jump out of the pile of old papers and use your own life to collide with the distant lives, I believe there will be more shining sparks.
