(1) Prose about Wang Zengqi

Wang Zengqi’s prose is free and unrestrained in its material selection, and has a natural randomness in creating an atmosphere to write emotions. But he mostly shows his own personality and style.

The first is the nourishing view of his prose. The concept of nourishment is manifested in two aspects: 1. It is an all-round aesthetic consciousness. Wang Zengqi's prose tells history, anecdotes, flowers, plants, insects, fish, and food from all over the world. Although it is not consciously intended to preach, nor is it chosen based on a certain value, it is consciously premised on nourishment. For example, in the "Taste Chapter" in "Facts from Four Sides", he covers a vast world, starting from eating mutton in Inner Mongolia to eating shrimp in his hometown, and then extending from the spicy food in Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan to eating onions in Shandong. The boundless facts not only give people a beautiful enjoyment, but also bury a beautiful wish: "You may not eat some things yourself, but don't object to others eating them", allowing readers to gain another tolerance in leisurely enjoyment. Moisturize. 2. The ultimate goal of nourishment is cultural rest. The connotation of this kind of cultural rest is that it is cultural, healthy and leisurely. Wang Zengqi believes that prose should provide readers with cultural rest, so his motivation for writing prose is very kind. The underlying mood of his work is joyful, even when writing about painful topics. For example, if he has a fatal toothache, he will "take it calmly, and think a little gloatingly: I'll see what kind of flower you will get out of the pain!" Although Wang Zengqi believes in his non-sentimentality, he is by no means a Wahaha-style talker. The Laughing Bodhisattva, an old man who gives away cheap smiles. Although he often smiles, because he wants readers to come and relax for a while in the quiet harbor of his prose, what is displayed in front of readers is a life with all kinds of flavors and colors. I can't help but ask you to increase your knowledge in your leisure time.

The second is his aesthetic ideal: harmony is the most important, and harmony can be achieved through equality and tolerance. Wang Zengqi's prose advocates harmony, which is closely related to his view of nourishing prose. Just because he wants his readers to take a cultural rest in his prose, the harmony of this world becomes particularly important. Wang Zengqi is more restrained and tolerant. He has lived in the hutongs of Beijing for a long time and is familiar with the hutong culture whose essence is tolerance. But he did not just adapt to the Hutong culture, but used his water quality to transform the Hutong culture and form Wang's Hutong flavor. This kind of transformation is not mysterious at all, but it advocates equality, thus drawing a clear line between his tolerance and the negative tolerance in Hutong culture. Although this kind of equal worship is simple and primitive, it makes Wang Zengqi's creations full of vitality and becomes active and vivid. For example, in "Lincoln's Nose", it is very emotional that Americans like to touch the nose of Lincoln's head (because touching it will bring good luck). He shouted, "Anyone's nose can be touched, including Lincoln's. No one's nose is sacred." And it extends to this conclusion: "Freedom is based on equality. In China, it is now very necessary to advocate this spirit of created equal. (Excerpted from Fan Peisong's "Preface to "Selected Prose of Wang Zengqi").
