His prose gives readers a unique education and influence.
Qin Mu is a knowledgeable and quick-thinking essayist. He loved literature and was interested in nature when he was young. He loved circus, animals and plants, and his rich and tortuous life experience laid a solid foundation for his later prose creation. He has created many prose works in his life, among which there are many well-known masterpieces. He believes that "literary creation is inseparable from these three elements: thought, life knowledge and means of expression. An author, how accomplished these aspects are, whether he has reached the realm of harmony, determines the author's creative level. " (1) Qin Mu organically combined moral education, understanding of life and enjoyment of beauty by talking about land and discussing the past. His prose contains * * * thoughts of productism in the gossip, among which Land, Lyric in the Social Forum, Flower City and Spring Dawn in the Ancient Battlefield give people a refreshing aesthetic feeling.
In Qin Mu's prose, the core content of his works is to sing praises to the great motherland and people, to sing praises to the red line of socialist construction and new life, to whip ugly people to wave the flag for the growth of socialism, to clean up the filth left by the old society, and to publicize the ideology of * * *. The author once said: "Literary works should promote truth, goodness and beauty, and oppose falsehood, ugliness and ugliness. The so-called "truthfulness" means clarifying the essence of life, writing with a realistic attitude and opposing deception. The so-called "goodness" is to publicize the moral quality of * * and oppose the decadent things of the exploiting classes. " This is what the author said and did. His works are elegant in style, profound in conception and full of brilliant ideological sparks. Moreover, this artistic feature is manifested in chatting and anecdotes, which points out the correct outlook on life and world for readers, impacts readers' hearts and gives people a beautiful feeling.
First of all, Qin Mu's prose shows the great achievements of enthusiastically praising the working people for creating historical civilization. In the article "Flower City", the author takes us into the Lunar New Year's Eve Flower Market in Guangzhou to let readers appreciate the grand occasion of the southern flower city. Finally, from the cultivation of daffodils and peonies, the author summed up the truth that "laborers can replace heaven, but artificial heaven is inferior" and praised "the great achievements of working people in creating historical civilization." "Looking at the man on the wall with deep affection ..." is a photo that evokes people's memory of Chairman Zhu De's voice, smile and brilliant quality, and praises his noble personality of greatness and simplicity, erudition and modesty, intelligence and humor, outstanding military exploits and disregard for fame and fortune. Dawn of the Ancient Battlefield starts with the crime of aggression by British colonialists, tells the fine tradition of the glorious revolution of Sanyuanli people, and depicts the steaming scene of their peaceful labor today. The whole text has only one central idea: the people are invincible.
Secondly, Qin Mu's prose is full of hatred for all decadent, filthy and ugly things. In Cell Wave, the author criticizes the barbarity of ethnic discrimination, ethnic oppression and the timidity and ferocity of ethnic prejudice, and shows the good wishes of ethnic friendship and national unity from different angles. After the downfall of the Gang of Four, the author wrote a sharp and incisive essay-"The Wind Pavilion of Dogs", which mercilessly lashed some hyenas who were as ferocious as wolves in the specific historical background of the "Cultural Revolution", and also made a painful accusation that this catastrophe brought profound disasters to the people of China.
Thirdly, Qin Mu has also created many works that give people inspiration, knowledge and beauty. By telling some proverbs, metaphors and two-part allegorical sayings, The Power of Laughter illustrates the power of humor and satire, which makes people smile with wisdom or laugh coldly, because it makes people more bitterly cast aside decadent and ugly things, more clearly distinguish between right and wrong, and thus more firmly remember the truth of a thing. "Bread and salt" began with the most precious custom of providing bread and salt to people in Eastern Europe, and then it was related to the Myanmar people's best wish of splashing water, the Tibetan compatriots in China expressed their deep friendship by offering Hada, and the Yi brothers gave their guests two kinds of wild "fairy fruits" as gifts ... Through these, a philosophy of life was revealed to people: when they embodied a lofty meaning and completely got rid of the domination of commodity prices, they became priceless. His works emphasize the promotion of truth, goodness and beauty and oppose falsehood, ugliness and ugliness. Many of his chapters are full of philosophical sparks, expounding his ideology of productism, not fiddling with boring truth, but giving people knowledge through chatting and anecdotes to achieve educational purposes.
Qin Mu's gossip is about the world being cold, talking about the past and discussing the present, galloping through time and space, with a wide range of topics, full of knowledge and interest. Association is an artistic expression commonly used by Qin Mu. Wonderful associations make his works blend reality and history. In Land, this lyric prose is the author's profound and rich understanding of history and life in the face of the land, such as the great river rushing into the sea, gathering the pen, starting from today to think about the history and future of the land, starting from the people and things on the land, and starting from the plundering of the land by the exploiting class. Another example is Lyrics on the Country Altar. A notable feature of this well-known prose in writing is that it fully relies on rich associations as the driving force for thinking and writing. First of all, the author thinks about the long course of the formation and development of nature and the arduous road for human ancestors to explore the HarmonyOS system from the mottled soil. Then, from the perspective of "five colors" and their corresponding relationship, it is also related to the concept of five elements, which can be said to be the crystallization of ancient material civilization and spiritual civilization of the Chinese nation. With the further development of ideas, the colorful earthen altar in front of us seems to be the epitome of the vast motherland and a vivid symbol of the unprecedented unity and unity of a big national family ... This is how the author quickly incites the wings of thoughts and feelings, guides readers to follow him back to the rivers and sky of history, and then returns to the sunny reality through the tunnel of time, thus digging out in that seemingly ancient theme. (3) Lenovo and imagination vividly express these themes, make his works move and live, spread the wings of association and imagination, soar freely in the vast field of history and life knowledge, connect stories, pictures or examples with a thread of thoughts and feelings, and express his feelings, thus making his prose form more free and easy, and receiving irreplaceable effects by other means.
Because of Qin Mu's tortuous and rich life experience, keen interest in nature and human history, and keen eye and unique aesthetic consciousness, he is not only good at selecting materials extensively, but also able to use them carefully, meticulously and carefully, so that materials can be strange in the ordinary and common in the strange. In the article Land, the author can finally write such a new idea: we should cherish every inch of land under our feet, make it shine, and devote ourselves to the ordinary "a handful of soil" and "a seemingly ordinary field". In Yi Hai Picking up Shells, the author tells us all kinds of knowledge about shells with careful observation and beautiful narration: some are as big as coconuts, hats and horns, some are as small as pearls, and some are as ordinary as bell snails. These materials are very extensive. Another example is Wolf Child, which well reflects the common use of materials in strangeness. From the story of "Wolf Child" in India, which people talked about after dinner in 1950s, the writer expounded a simple and concise thought: a nation has no natural advantages and disadvantages, and a person has no natural talent, and what it looks like under the influence of any upbringing environment. All these show his unique way of using materials.
The author said: "With the thread of thought, you must also have pearls of life, so that you can string them into beautiful necklaces and have rich materials of life knowledge. This is very important for an prose writer, and this truth can only be reflected with rich materials when it is played out." ④ Looking at Qin Mu's prose, he has a wide range of topics, rich knowledge, talks about the past and discusses the present, and quotes widely, showing a profound life foundation and knowledge foundation. Land is one of the most representative works. Starting with Kan Kan's experience in history and daily life, the author takes the land as the object, sometimes showing the features of the new era, sometimes tracing back to the painful history, sometimes praising the builders and defenders of the new society, sometimes writing ancient border defense ceremonies, and sometimes extending the brush strokes to the atrocities of the colonists. From ancient times to the present, from animals and plants to human feelings, from stories and legends to modern science and technology, all of them are included in one essay, which provides readers with an informative history textbook.
Qin Mu has always advocated reading the spirit of thousands of books. Because profound knowledge can not only help the author explain the truth and deepen the theme, but also satisfy the reader's desire for knowledge and make him gain a new aesthetic feeling. For example, The Comedy of Water chestnut involves many aspects of knowledge such as plants, animals, chemistry, physics and even ergonomics. He first wrote from The Water Chestnut, from which he realized the dialectical materialism philosophy of "similarities and differences". Then, from the water chestnut, the species of locusts, butterflies, carbohydrates and the differences of human physique are discussed, and the complexity and diversity of human and natural things are further discussed.
The knowledge and interest of Qin Mu's prose always complement each other. If a work is boring, its educational function is out of the question. Qin Mu's prose is very interesting, such as Flower City. Reading this intoxicating prose, we seem to be brought into the beautiful and magical Guangzhou flower market. There are peony in Shandong, daffodils in Fujian and bright red roses in France. There are smiles from Malaysia, and there are many cactus plants in the Sahara desert. After several generations of careful cultivation, some of them have become "national beauties" and "Lingbo fairies", while others are swaying in the wind. Appreciating these exotic flowers and plants in various ways will make readers feel interested and bring spiritual pleasure and sweet enjoyment.
In addition, Qin Mu's prose language is naturally fresh and fluent, with flexible writing style, wonderful association, open mind, natural expression of feelings and skillful use of various expression techniques.
The language of Qin Mu's prose is mainly plain and fluent spoken language, and sometimes it adopts the vibrant language in classical works and foreign literature, and then refines it into a concise and bright literary language in life. At the same time, some quips, aphorisms and wonderful metaphors are skillfully used, just like mica shining in a stone, which always shines in his natural and smooth expression. Qin Mu has a great command of language. He has mastered a vivid set of pen and ink, which can be decided according to actual needs, which can not only convey heroic spirit, but also walk leisurely. He likes to "walk in the forest with old friends, or have a heart-to-heart talk under the light." In his articles, he never avoids exposing his personality and always enthusiastically maintains the language habits he has formed in his life. " ⑤ Try reading a passage in "Picking up Shells in the Ocean of Art": We are at the seaside, just don't miss the value of shells in people's lives! I didn't find any species either. I think just bending down to pick up shellfish on the beach itself makes people step into a meaningful realm. Think about it: the sea is affected by the moon and rises three times a day. There is such a beach between the high tide line and the low tide line, where all kinds of small creatures grow and have idyllic scenery. Shellfish that are not afraid of the sun have been climbing to the high tide line, and those that are afraid of the sun are wandering at the low tide line. There are more than thousands of creatures between these two lines. At high tide, oysters, barnacles and mussels on the beach reach out and are busy preying on zooplankton. When the tide receded, they were busy closing their shells and hiding. This seemingly calm beach used to be a place for survival and competition all day. It looks like a simple beach with such rich content that the variety and style of shellfish alone will make people see things in a blur. This beach seems to have changed little, but in fact, rocks are traveling, animals are dying and degenerating.
You see, the author is not only rich in vocabulary, but also accurate in personification and exquisite in parallelism. No matter which article he reads, he has no sense of obscurity. Fluency, nature can always be shown in the article, that is, a word, the author uses words carefully. For example, in "Land", it is written that nobles "look for food from the perspective of collection". How well the word "shou" is used not only shows the hungry appearance of nobles, but also shows the greedy and cruel nature of nobles. He described the changes once the land locked for thousands of years returned to the people's hands: "Oasis began to appear in the desert, and crops grew on the barren land. Choose several different words accurately and skillfully, vividly describe the scene of land change, and describe that everyone is planting rice in the field and "squeaking on the black soil with their feet", which is vivid, true and full of life breath.
Qin Mu's prose is lyrical and narrative. The author tells interesting stories, which are fascinating in sincere scenes, and takes the opportunity to write to achieve the artistic effect of "moistening things silently". For example, in Flower City, the author described the colorful and intoxicating spring scenery in the south with a warm style and wrote a socialist ode. The atmosphere is rendered at the beginning of the work. "In recent years, people have often come all the way from the north to take a look at the grand occasion of the South China Flower Market. You can often see many international friends who are also intoxicated with the oriental holiday atmosphere and buy flowers with domestic friends. After that, there were poems in the discussion and feelings in the discussion. From near to far, talk about the charm of Guangzhou flower market from the scene in front of you. The author wrote: "Thousands of smiling flowers in Qian Qian seem to be smiling and whispering with crisp and subtle voices." "Spring is coming, spring is coming. "People who buy flowers put flower trees on their heads and potted flowers on their shoulders, and the crowd seems to have become a strange flower stream again." These descriptions are cadenced, full of charm and elegant and unique in style. When narrating, the writing is vivid and vivid, and when writing the scene, a beautiful picture is outlined. At the key points of the article, they often express their feelings very succinctly and appropriately. Such as "The Ancient Battlefield of Chunxiao", which is short, pithy and meaningful, expresses his passionate feelings of mourning for the past on the ancient battlefield of Sanyuanli and reviews the great opening of China's modern history. At the end of the full text, the author can't help singing "Ah! Our beautiful land, brave people! " The author sometimes uses some metaphors to describe the scenery, which is both appropriate and strange.
The scenery is lyrical, the narrative discussion is skillfully integrated, the scenery is full of emotion, the discussion is promoted in the scene, the discussion is sublimated in the narrative, the discussion is generated in the narrative, and the emotion is melted in the narrative. Qin Mu's prose uses a unique way of expression.
In a word, Qin Mu's prose has a unique style and distinctive artistic features, which has left a rich and colorful stroke in the history of contemporary literature in China, leaving a valuable spiritual wealth for future generations to appreciate and learn from.
