? 1. About "Feng Zikai's Classic Works"? Automobile society "
? This book featured 95 essays by Feng Zikai from 1930s to 1970s. The content ranges from mosquitoes to the universe, and the brushwork is ever-changing. Thirteen Random Thoughts of Laborers (XIII) are as short as one or two hundred words each, while Ci and Tonglu Negative Xuan are as long as one or two thousand words. Shape with things, the length is as long as you like, and you can remember it with a pen.
Scholars who study Feng Zikai's prose generally divide his essays in the 1930s into four categories. One is to explore the natural details of life, such as big books and two? Autumn, etc. One kind describes children's interests, such as for my children, children and being a father. One is to recall one's own life experience and creative process, such as sweet memories. One is to describe the world, such as car clubs, neighbors, strangers, eating melons and so on. Among them, the works describing the world and human feelings best represent his prose writing style.
"These works transcend the prejudice of the world, look at society and think about life with artistic conception and Buddhist thinking. From the trivial things around him, he discovered things that others have never discovered, experienced the fun that others have never experienced, and realized the situation that others have never felt ... That is to say, he sublimated ordinary and scattered life trivial things into an interesting artistic life with his own wonderful pen. "
In the busy modern life, we need to create a garden of spiritual rest for our body and mind. As the carrier of perceptual and rational information, prose can meet our needs. In the garden of prose, Feng Zikai's essays are undoubtedly unique.
? Second, coincidence.
It seems that I have read Feng Zikai's cartoons when I was very young, and I feel that the brushwork is simple and childlike. I read Feng Zikai's works on August 7th, 2004 18 years ago. My little sister gave me a book, Selected Works of Feng Zikai: The Car Club in Yuanyuantang. I read it at the beginning of July 26th, 2005, and the most impressive article at that time was Gradually.
Because I participated in the reading of Chifeng Reading Club, I chose the book presented by Miss Sister.
I want to know more about Feng Zikai. Looking back on the five years of studying in the Chinese Department of Handwritten University, I have no comment on Feng Zikai. Looking through the course of modern literature, a thick book doesn't even mention Feng Zikai's name in a chapter!
Coincidentally, in the summer vacation, I saw an article in the Reader entitled "Snow on the Pillow, Half a Pot of Water", which talked about the difficult living environment and his philosophical attitude towards life when "Dad" decentralized the rural labor force. Look at that illustration, it's Feng's brushwork that I'm familiar with, Feng's taste! After reading the explanatory text, I realized that this article was selected from the book "Dad Feng Zikai" by Feng Yiyin!
Hurry up and ask my wife to help me buy this book online. I placed an order on February 4th, 20021year, and finished reading the book on February 7th, 2007. The previous one was Feng Yiyin (Feng Zixuan, the youngest daughter, the last living child).
A few days later, I went to Xinhua Bookstore in Pedestrian Street and met the Japanese classic Tale of Genji translated by Feng Zikai and his daughter Feng Yiyin. Did Mr. Feng greet the admiration of the younger generation with kindness?
? Third, Feng Zikai gave me the impression.
With the help of Feng Zikai's classic work: Yuan Yuan Tang? The author of Car Club tells his own story and confides his feelings. Through the introduction of Baidu Encyclopedia, the narration of cultural masters' feature films and the evaluation of articles from various angles, from the words of contemporary Chinese and foreign friends, private disciples, private disciples and research experts, Feng Zikai feels that he is an artistic generalist, a loving father, a mentor, a strong man who grasps his destiny and a wise man who has insight into the world.
? Fourth, luck and misfortune.
Say lucky first:
Good luck: Feng Zikai ranks seventh, with six sisters, one younger sister and two younger brothers. But his two younger brothers died young, so he became the only surviving son of his parents, shining brilliantly.
Father Feng Huang is a poet, good at poetry, and Feng Zikai has a good gene. Take the senior high school entrance examination and apply to three schools at the same time: business school first, middle school eighth, Zhejiang First Normal University (today's Hangzhou University) third. Today, this score is the result of the college entrance examination in 985 colleges and universities.
Good luck: I met famous teachers when I was in normal school: Li Shutong, a music and art teacher (who laid the foundation for future life and artistic growth), and Xia Mianzun, a supervisor and Chinese teacher (who laid a solid foundation for future writing and translation); After studying in Japan 10 months, I came across Takehisa Yumeji's cartoon works in a street stall, which made him clear his future artistic path.
Marriage is smooth:
? Feng Zikai got married very early and married Xu Limin, the daughter of a noble family in Chongde County. Xu Limin's father, Xu Sunrui, was an inspector. Many years ago, he read Feng Zikai's composition of primary school entrance examination. When he read it, he fell in love with it and appreciated the talent of this young generation. Knowing that he was a local celebrity and the son of a juren in the late Qing Dynasty, he hoped to betroth his daughter to him. Feng Zikai's widowed mother was worried that her financial resources were thin and her family background was improper, but Xu interceded many times and showed full sincerity. So Feng Zikai was engaged to Xu Limin at the age of 16 and 19 14. They got married after studying in their early years. ?
In addition, unfortunately:
?
? The first misfortune:1On July 7th, 937, a cannon shot at Lugou Bridge broke the peaceful life of all China people except the three northeastern provinces. Feng Zikai, a middle-aged man, was forced to leave his stable job, settled in Yuanyuan Hall for six years and began his eight-year exile. As the head of the family, he has to bring a family of 16 children, the oldest mother-in-law is 70 years old, and the youngest son, Ngou 1 many years old. There is an endless shortage of cars and boats along the way to prevent shells, avoid air strikes and crack down on profiteers. Yuanyuantang, which contained more than 10,000 books and calligraphy and painting by teachers and friends, was completely destroyed by the Japanese aggressors. On the way to escape, in order not to bring trouble to his family, the Japanese invasion of China manuscript "The History of Japanese Aggression Comics" was thrown into the river. The manuscript fell into the water and hit his heart at once, which is probably similar to the Qiantang River Bridge built by Mao Yisheng himself to fight against the Japanese aggressors, but the latter knows more people.
? The second misfortune: Feng Zikai, as a famous artist in Shanghai and even the whole country, was the first to bear the brunt of the Cultural Revolution. He was found, humiliated, robbed, criticized endlessly, and sent to rural labor reform in his later years.
The third misfortune:
Essays originated from Montaigne, a French essayist, and were marginalized by "left-wing" literature in the 1930s because of their trivial themes. Apart from cartoons, Feng Zikai, who is famous for his essays, has been ignored by mainstream literary circles for many years. In addition to China's friends, Japanese friends and Singaporean Guangsha masters first appreciated his character and works. It was not until 2 1 century that Feng Zikai's thoughts and works, personality and spirit began to be gradually valued by the literary and art circles like unearthed cultural relics. Appreciation of modern and contemporary prose includes Feng Zikai's five works-For My Children, Gradually, Autumn, Barber Shop in the Wild and Bandits in His Mouth, but Xia Mianzun earned two.
Imagine that Feng Zikai would have left us more cartoons, essays and translations without the eight-year war and the 10 Cultural Revolution.
Looking at it from another angle, the so-called national tragedy poet is lucky. Feng Zikai, who is in exile, has a better understanding of the tragic reality in China, created a lot of cartoons to resist violence and protect students, and wrote many well-known works such as My Destiny Hall.
During the "Cultural Revolution", Feng Zikai calmly faced the criticism of the rebels. He added "three are not afraid of shame and four are not afraid of pain" after the popular formulation of "one is not afraid of suffering and the other is not afraid of death". Although it sounds sad, what is even more admirable is that he "always looks on coldly as the crab walks and sees how long it runs rampant"!
? Five, the lining behind the face
In Feng Zikai's translation, the following paragraphs are spoken by climbers.
If the world that can't be moved out is difficult, then the difficult place must be more or less rich, so that fleeting life can be delivered well in the fleeting period. Thus, the poet's vocation was born, and the painter's mission was given.
This seems to be Feng Zikai's monologue. He stuck to the bounden duty of a poet and fulfilled the mission of a painter all his life.
His paintings are silent poems, so his heart is extremely rich and he feels more and more happy.
Feng Zikai said that people's life can be divided into three layers: material life (food and clothing). The second is spiritual life (academic literature and art). The third is the soul life.
It is precisely because of his firm Buddhist belief that Feng Zikai regards life as an ocean of suffering, transcending personal suffering, sympathizing with others, not looking at all evils, but only looking at all sufferings; It is precisely because of his aesthetic vision of discovery, intelligent mind of thinking, artistic talent of creation, ordinary daily life and even human suffering that he presents a different kind of beauty under his brush and words.
After suffering in the world, write about the beauty in the world.
? This is Feng Zikai.
