I have read Wang Zengqi's prose, 1 Wang Zengqi's prose is good, and everyone who has read it is well-known. He writes about scenery, people, things and things, which seems stiff and dull, but in fact, the layout is careful, especially the ending is very good. Reading every ending is a pleasure. All landscape words are sentimental words, but not just landscape words. Every plain word is affectionate. The whole article only takes one or two paragraphs to say that it hurts, just like the tip of the iceberg, and we can feel the tip of the iceberg. For example, Autumn Flowers in Beijing is about all kinds of plants, which is very vivid and interesting, like a popular science book. Begonia is written at the back and brought to his mother. He died of lung disease when he was very young. He was locked in a small room, afraid of infection, so he didn't have much impression on his mother. When he saw Begonia, he thought of his mother.
The language was calm and not lyrical at all, but it touched me a lot. Moreover, he wrote his teacher, Shen Congwen, "The stars are his articles, a pure man", and he wrote Shen Congwen's affairs in great detail throughout, which ended with the teacher's death. There is only one sentence, which also uses narrative to express emotions: "Such a person has gone like this." I looked at him and looked at him again, and I cried. "What is this advanced writing, can be called old books.
There are also feelings of naked women in the book. On the wall of one of the many teahouses near The National SouthWest Associated University, I found a real poem: reminiscing about the good old days, drinking tea with my father, touching snail shells in front of the door and making mud in the alley.
Several articles also mentioned tea culture. Wang Zengqi mentioned smashing tea in detail in Two Stories in Hunan. He likes eating it very much, which reminds me of the mashed tea bought by the roadside when I went to Xiangxi, Hunan last year. It's not very rustic, just like the shop in bubble tea. Wang Zengqi also mentioned many times that when studying in The National SouthWest Associated University, college students loved to soak in the teahouse in Kunming. Some people even put toothbrush washbasins in teahouses. He is a gourmet and an old tea drinker, and he also has some experience in tea. In the article "Ordinary Tea Talk", he talked a lot about eating tea.
As soon as the article arrived in southern Anhui, I found that my grandmother and Wang Zengqi were both descendants of the King of Yue. Hua Wang may be a hero of the separatist regime. Later, he fell to the Tang Dynasty and was made Lord of Yue by the Tang and Yuan Dynasties. In the Sui and Tang Dynasties, this was a very high title, and Sikong Su Yang in the Sui and Tang Dynasties was the King of Yue. Locally known as "Wang Wang", or "Wang Wang Di Da".
After reading Wang Zengqi's prose, I seldom read prose. Maybe I was too impressed in junior high school. In my cognition, prose is mostly difficult to understand: unlike novels, all the plots revolve around this clear main line, which makes people feel suddenly enlightened as the story progresses; Prose often gives people a feeling of confusion. It always starts from some subtle angles and expresses the author's thoughts bit by bit. Everything needs readers to ponder carefully, which is exactly what I am not good at.
It was also with the strong recommendation of my roommates that I came into contact with Wang Zengqi's works. I was surprised when I read his first article. How can I put it? Wang Lao's words will make people feel very kind. Just like a warm afternoon in winter, holding hot tea, sunbathing in a noisy yard and listening to smiling old people explain their past experiences and ideas, it is warm and comfortable.
Garden is the first essay I read by Wang Lao. The article is not very gorgeous, but it can clearly depict naughty children playing in that busy little garden. Garden is the author's childhood paradise, full of simple happiness, full of natural sounds, full of the smell of calamus. He likes to press on the grass, quietly watching the fallen grass stand up slowly. When his efforts are about to succeed, he puts his head on it again and cries "Hmm!" " ; He will put the petals of purslane on the eyes of the dumb cicada. As soon as he lets go, the dumb cicada will keep flying upwards and never lean sideways. He thinks the ground bee is a stupid guy, so he often fools it; He will also cry for birds eaten by cats ... all this is vividly presented to me through simple words.
I saw someone commenting on Wang Lao's works, saying: The first impression it gives people is a kind of simple beauty, a kind of elegant water. However, in its insipid, it can't be as insipid as boiled water. Just like sipping green tea, elegance has a fragrance, which makes people aftertaste for a long time. Indeed, in Wang Lao's pen, we can't feel intense emotions. Everything is faint, but it is easy to resonate with readers. At the same time, it is easy to remind people of their own experiences and thoughts, and there is a feeling of knowing a smile. This should be the power of Wang Zengqi's sentence.
Comments on Wang Zengqi's Prose 3 Wang Zengqi, the last scholar-bureaucrat in China, one of the greatest writers in the 20th century, a contemporary literary giant, a lyrical humanist, the last pure scholar, a disciple of Mr. Shen Congwen, the most romantic prose collection, the most memorable romantic works and the most memorable masterpieces of art and life. My little daughter is honored to see this book.
Throughout the ages, there have been many articles describing eating, such as Lao She's Camel Xiangzi and Liang Shiqiu's Elegant Room Talking about Eating. Many people describe delicious food vividly, but Mr. Wang Zengqi's way of eating is unique. Although dull, it is like a recipe, revealing the true feelings of the world everywhere and attracting infinite reverie.
I love food so much that I fell in love with this article and benefited a lot! As for the content, it's all delicious food in life, but Mr. Wang writes fluently and uses a pen wonderfully. For example, the article "Food in My Hometown" quoted Zheng Banqiao at the beginning: "It's freezing in the cold, and poor relatives and friends come to the door. First, make a bowl of fried rice for them, with a small dish of ginger juice. This is the best tool to warm the old and weak." Listening to this sentence, I have a very cordial feeling that fried rice is more convenient and simple than the next bowl of dried noodles. Generally speaking, if you eat fried rice, you should grab the sugar, which is the meaning of Zheng Banqiao dialect.
There is also a kind of food, called "coke chips", which is ground into powder with rice crust paste. Like fried rice, you can eat it with boiling water. Whether it is fried rice or coke crumbs, there is another meaning besides convenience, and that is emergency. At that time, there was a war in the county, and we spent it with this grain. People at the bottom of society warm each other's hearts with a bowl of fried rice and coke crumbs. What I admire is that the author is still calm, optimistic and quiet in such a chaotic environment. As the article said, "In the evening, I climbed upstairs in Lv Zu and watched the guns on both sides in the northeast light up, which made me feel a little nervous and fun." How optimistic! So love life, love life!
In the part of eating, the author wrote all kinds of delicious food in simple words, which is called a gourmet.
In this book, the content is narrative, lyrical and explanatory. These essays are exquisite in writing, reasonable in structure and clear in organization, and permeate the author's rich social life and complex inner world. It is really a good book that has benefited me a lot!
Random thoughts on Wang Zengqi's prose 4 This week, the book I read is Wang Zengqi's classic work. This book falls into two categories: novels and essays. The novels include Being Commanded, Three Friends at a Cold Age, Loneliness and Warmth, Brain Notes, Qili Teahouse, Occupation, Chen, Comfortable Home, Judge Lu and so on. Prose includes Garden, Winter, Summer, My Hometown, Flowers in Autumn in Beijing, Trees in Spring and Autumn, Faint Qiu Guang, Heart Shadow of Cuihu, Soaking in Teahouse, Rain in Kunming, Watching Farmers' Collection, Scenery of Tianshan Mountain and Xiangxing.
The first article in this collection of novels is Different Ice. As I forgot to read this book, I only read this one.
The owner of different arms is Wang Er, probably Wang Erxiao's grandfather. This "Wang Erxiao Grandpa" used to set up a tobacco stall. This smoked stall sells everything: marinated tofu, beef, steamed stuffed bun, pig's head, black melon seeds, white melon seeds, salt-fried peas, fried peas, orchid beans, spiced peanuts, and later added seasonal "mutton cakes" and "spiced rabbit meat".
But with the economic downturn, all the stalls around have gradually declined. However, Wang Er's stall is becoming more and more popular. Then, Wang Er moved his booth to a shop. The treasure flowed to Wang Er's house.
Wang Er is rich. He went to listen to a book, but I guess he knows nothing. Wang Er also loves gambling. The book says that Wang Er seldom loses, which means that Wang Er must be a liar. Another possibility is that he is too calculating. ...
In the last paragraph of the article, Wang Er's "different proficiency" was written, that is, he solved the small hand first, and then solved the big hand ... Is it really because of his "different proficiency" that he developed? I'm afraid it is because of his diligence and shrewdness that his business is thriving. Moreover, the reasonable price and honesty are also the main reasons why he keeps "old customers".
This pile of trivial things, the author also said, showing that the author is particularly verbose. But it is also his writing style that is different.
Random thoughts on Wang Zengqi's prose 5 Recently, I saw a landscape essay "Rain in Kunming" by Mr. Wang Zengqi, and I was probably interested in the city he described, so I read it several times.
The article draws a thick green cactus upside down in the upper right corner with a golden flower at the end; A few blue mushrooms and boletus are drawn on the lower left. "At the beginning of the painting, the perspective was novel and unconventional. A few simple strokes clearly outline the image of the rainy season in Kunming: bright, plump, dark green, stop-and-go, and don't make people feel stuffy. Then the author wrote about the fungus seeds, Myrica rubra and Osmanthus fragrans in rainy season in Kunming, among which "the most inexpensive boletus" was written, and the qingtou mushroom with higher style than boletus was mentioned, and "the king of fungi", "dried mushrooms" and "tasteless mushrooms" were introduced. Yangmei in Kunming is very big, as big as table tennis, and its colors are black, red and black. It is called "charcoal plum". Not sour at all! The Burmese laurel in Kunming is a big tree! It seems that it doesn't matter if the author doesn't write about rain directly. It is actually a foil to show the rainy season in Kunming in a three-dimensional and realistic way. I can also read between the lines that the author, as a foreigner, was full of surprise, joy and pride when he discovered the characteristics of rainy season in Kunming. At the end of the article, I quoted allusions, expressed my chest and deepened my artistic conception. " There are few laymen in the lotus pond, and the moss mark in the wild shop is one inch deep. A cup of turbid wine after noon, fragrant flowers and wet rain. "
After reading the whole article, I only feel pleasing to the eye, but I also feel a little sorry. Even though some old Kunming people's living customs, such as "hanging a cactus at the door to ward off evil spirits", have been gradually eliminated in today's ever-changing and fast-paced modern life, natural landscapes such as the lotus pond and the Burmese osmanthus that smells like orchids have been completely preserved. If you are willing to slow down, if you have a heart that is good at discovering beauty, you will find that the real world around you is beautiful, instead of being reminded by others or even celebrities, you are your spiritual mentor! Don't let your busy footsteps cover your eyes, let alone ruin your heart!
After reading Wang Zengqi's prose, who would have expected that two months later, I would regain the classics and win Wang Lao's Plant Spring and Autumn again.
You may ask, "Wang Lao, what delicacies shall we eat today?" Don't worry, Wang Lao, a "literary gourmet", always likes to eat, drink and be merry. Let's have fun here today, taste the world and swim in delicious food.
At the first stop, we came to Heze, a famous city in Shandong Province. I am ashamed to say that as a Shandong native, I know little about Heze. Don't panic. Lao Wang will show you around Heze. As soon as I entered the city, the first day came, and the willows would spring breeze. A thousand acres of peony greeted the guests from afar, and I seemed to walk into a feast of flowers and a sea of honey, reading the fragrance and waking up like a dream. Wang Lao likes the pale white shepherd Dan best. He himself, like this simple Bai Mudan, is clear and elegant.
After enjoying this Heze peony, people don't think it is a very tall outlaw-Shangliang Mountain. But Liangshan is actually low but not majestic, and the mountain is not sinister. Even Wang Lao, who is in his sixties, can climb to the top of the mountain without knowing it. Wang Lao also questioned himself: Can such a mountain achieve such a great cause? We won't go into this problem any further, because this tail mandarin fish is more valuable to Wang Lao. For more than two days in Heze, Wang Lao and his party had fish for dinner. Even Lao Jiang couldn't help admiring Liangshan people's research on fish culture. After reading it, talking about fish, Wang Lao was excited again. Wang Lao naturally knows how to eat many mandarin fish, but the most famous ones are squirrel mandarin fish, smelly mandarin fish, steamed mandarin fish and sweet and sour mandarin fish. He really recommends clear soup mandarin fish. Wang Lao reveals the greedy nature between the lines and is outspoken.
On the second day of staying in Liangshan, Wang and I got up. Want to leave, dawn, pouring rain began to solo. I looked at Wang Lao beside me. His face was radiant and his eyes began to twinkle. "Shandong is a good year this year." He said.
I read Wang Zengqi's prose, 7 "The world is as fine as yarn for years, who will be a rider in Beijing". Living in a small building and listening to the falling spring rain, you will hear the sound of selling apricots in the depths of the alley early in the morning. Short paper inclined idle, dark window subdivided tea. Plainclothes don't sigh, but it's clear enough to go home. "
Different from Lu You's well-known poem expressing his ambition to serve the country, this poem shows us the daily life interest of a scholar-bureaucrat, and his leisurely mood is refined.
Wang Lao loves this poem, not his artistic conception full of life breath. Wang Zengqi once commented on his prose "New Leeks in Early Spring and Late Autumn". He likes sparse style, natural and rich, plain narrative, implicit and restrained.
His feeling of life seems a bit like the leisure of a truant child. The world is so big: sweet grass roots are in his mouth, sesame seeds that are stunk all over the body catch "Liu Du", Miao girls selling bayberry whisper softly, and hydrangeas that quietly "absorb water" on the windowsill. This is life, even an art, and he really enjoys it personally. Tongcheng School pays attention to writing articles with "literary spirit". Wang Zengqi's article is very literary and full of "qi". The whole article seems impossible and the structure is sloppy, but there is a "qi" accompanying it, which is "clumsy and spiritual". Another point is that Wang Zengqi's language is quite good, seemingly dull, full of charm, and will leave blank. Wang Zengqi wrote about his teacher Shen Congwen, not how talented and diligent Mr. Shen was, but that Mr. Shen had a difficult Xiangxi dialect. Write Zhang Junqiu, write that Zhang Junqiu can eat, and then come back to 20 after painting makeup; Jin accepted Chairman Mao's suggestion to get in touch with the society and took a stroll in Wangfujing on a tricycle-these are all things that show the character and characteristics of the characters, but Wang Zengqi just grasped them quietly.
He is a different writer, unlike today's writers sitting at home or in the office, staring at the screen, fingers flying on the keyboard, and nerves almost destroyed by endless phone calls. His articles and books seem to have been touched thousands of times by himself, and the taste between the lines is a wooden pencil, not the hard and cold of the machine. I can see a healthy old man with a pencil in his hand and a calm smile on his face. His delicate and emotional brushwork gives himself and us a little surprise and touch from time to time, for a dish of white osmanthus with raindrops, or for a big fish that suddenly jumps out of the middle of the lake, or for a waiter with a Beijing accent to "collect tea money". They interpret it in a way that moistens people's hearts. Dull is true, dull is a state of life, a realm and an understanding. While trying to make us feel beautiful, I clearly heard a kind voice saying to people who are busy on the road: "Go slowly, son. Look at the color of this begonia, like a lady's rouge water accidentally slipped from her fingertips and touched the petals. It's beautiful. It's beautiful. "
The biggest feature of Wang Zengqi's prose is "lightness", which is quite tasteful. His prose, recording some old things in the past, or places of interest, seemed handy, and stopped at once, leaving a lot of blanks for people to remember and think about. After the author's seemingly careless treatment, those things that are casually picked up are immediately filled with a graceful and elegant atmosphere, which is a true sense of wisdom. In recent years, the literary world has played a lot of profound things, full of mysterious or unfathomable articles. Compared with Wang Zengqi, you will find the style of the latter, while the former is just a group of smart people, not a "real monk". It can be said that monk is the most common word.
Reflections on Wang Zengqi's Prose 8 Recently, I read two books by Wang Zengqi, The Fisherman Killed the Family and Living in a Lonely Garden. Wang is the son of Shen Congwen, so his creation is influenced by Shen Congwen. "Kill a Family by Fishing" is mainly his literary theory and book review. What attracted me most was the way he talked about writing. Pu in the Deep Loneliness is a collection of his short stories, all of which are well-known works, such as Wearing a Ring, Notes on a Big Fight, Eight Thousand Years, Three Friends in a Cold Year, Migration and so on. His novels are more like prose, but they are also narrative. This is also very similar to Shen Congwen's style.
Besides, his books are not particularly popular. Reading, it is very life-like, which makes you feel deja vu, but it is very kind. In addition, we can see Wang's indifferent attitude towards life. He is very talented, but he lacks very introverted humility and introspection. He is a native of Gaoyou, Jiangsu, and a fellow villager of Qin Shaoyou. You can also climb the land of Jiangnan in your hometown. The human and historical stories of the land of water towns are not as broad and bold as the northern plateau, but they are very intriguing. In fact, we all know that there are many talents and beautiful women in the south. Wang has lived in Beijing for many years and created many Beijing-style literary works, but his description and memory of his hometown have far-reaching influence on him. So some people call his articles local literature, but he doesn't agree. I think the literary quality that Wang values most is plain and natural, and his articles have repeatedly mentioned that the highest realm of writing is plain and natural, which is also the most important feature of his articles.
I often wonder how much influence this history will have on me when I was originally from the south and grew up in the north. If I were in the south or the north, I might take a completely different road. For my parents, they just went from the south to the north when they were in college, and then they never went back. Haven't they been wandering? The fate of mankind is repeated. People without roots can wander around without feeling sad, or it is a natural choice. However, those who have stuck to one side of the land for generations are reluctant to leave. Many people in modern times no longer have so many thoughts about their hometown because the quality of life determines everything else, and the thoughts of their hometown must be diluted. But there are still some people who don't want to leave because of an instinct, rather than realizing how much they love their hometown.
However, I have to admit that it has irresistible charm only when I leave my hometown. As reflected in the works of great writers such as Wang Zengqi and Shen Congwen. People who have never lost it don't know its preciousness and significance. We find the hometown we have never experienced from the vision of people who have left their homes, and only from the feelings of people who have left their homes can we realize the true meaning of our warmth and happiness. Therefore, people in their hometown should thank those who have left their hometown, because they don't know how beautiful their hometown is without their constant reminder.
Wang's nostalgia for his hometown expressed in his book is actually a universal emotion of human beings. For me, it is a good book that reminds me of my homesickness and causes infinite resonance.
