The Journey to the West is one of the Four Great Classical Novels in China. It is Mr. Wu Cheng'en's masterpiece. It tells the story of Po Hou, Tang Sanzang, his younger brother Bajie and Friar Sand going to the Western Heaven to learn Buddhist scriptures. Although I have read this book once, I don't know how many times I have watched it on the TV edited by this book. It gives people a feeling of never getting tired of reading it, and people like it after reading it.

After reading this novel, I have great feelings. I think I should learn from Tang Priest. The Monkey King's indomitable spirit.

This book gives a vivid picture of Po Hou who "jumped" out of a stone, and writes that he has changed from fearless to respectful monkey. He is not as lazy as Pig and simple and honest as Friar Sand, and the author uses this to outline the Monkey King's great wisdom and courage. Since Tang Sanzang changed the Monkey King from five fingers, During this period, eighty-one difficult, the manager, was rescued by the Monkey King wholeheartedly in every disaster, and finally the Sutra was successfully retrieved.

In this time of fighting Bai Gujing, he killed Bai Gujing, who became a human being, and was cursed by the master. The Tang Priest was a mortal, and he didn't know it was a monster. Wukong's explanation completely ignored him, but he recited his Sutra, and the painful the Monkey King rolled all over the ground. Finally, Tang Priest even broke off his relationship with the Monkey King. The Monkey King was forced to go back to Huaguoshan. But the Monkey King didn't hate the master psychologically, and he didn't even want to retaliate against him. He hid all his grievances in his mind, and he always thought about the master's safety, which shows that he was sincere to the master. No matter how tired and hungry they were along the way, no matter how sinister and cunning the monster was, they defeated them one by one and saved the master from danger.

As the saying goes, "Read! Westbank > Take Wan Li Road. "It's always good to read too many books. In today's society, it's impossible without culture, and it will be eliminated by society. Since we were born, our parents taught us to speak and read, and when we were older, they taught us how to be a person. We not only learn knowledge at school, but more importantly, learn to be a person. Only by learning how to be a person can we learn more knowledge and make friends. This shows how important books are. Therefore, we should read more books and read good books.

Introduction to The Journey to the West

The Journey to the West was born in the 16th century in Jiajing period of Ming Dynasty in China, and it has been more than 4 years since then. The author Wu Cheng'en, whose name is Ruzhong, was named Sheyang layman, and The Journey to the West wrote the first draft in Wu Cheng'en's middle age. Later, it was retouched. He recreated the art on the basis of the literary works and stories about Tang Priest's Buddhist scriptures accumulated in the previous generation for many years and circulated among the people, and changed the original story mainly about Tang Priest's Buddhist scriptures into the history of the Monkey King's war between heaven and earth.

the Monkey King is the most glorious image in the book. "Making a scene in Heaven" highlights his spirit of loving freedom and bravely resisting "Learning from the West" shows that he will get rid of evil when he sees it. The spirit of putting an end to evil. After the failure of the Monkey King's havoc in the Heavenly Palace, he was released by the Tang Priest after 5 years' suppression, and went to the Western Heaven with him. He is no longer an image of a rebel, but a hero wearing a tight hoop and a tiger skin skirt, who is dedicated to relieving the magic difficulties for the world. The main characteristics of the Monkey King, the town magician, are his indomitable spirit and improvisation before many difficulties.

The fantasy world and mythical figures described by The Journey to the West. A variety of colorful treasures are obviously imagined by people in order to conquer nature or defeat the enemy. The Journey to the West constitutes the basic artistic feature of romanticism.

The Journey to the West combined well-meaning ridicule, spicy satire and severe criticism artistically, which made many chapters full of fun and fully expressed profound ideological content and the author's distinct love and hate. Forty-one short stories contained by eighty-one difficult were also passed through monks, deities and buddhas. The intricate relationship between demons is manifested, and waves of unrest rise again and again. In these countless fantasy plots full of struggles, the optimism of the broad masses of people who resist evil forces and demand victory over nature and difficulties is meaningfully embodied, which reflects the social reality of feudal times in a tortuous way.

Gulliver's Travels

[ English] Jonathan Swift

[ Author's Brief Introduction ]

Jonathan. In 1686, 1692 and 171, he received a bachelor's degree from Trinity College in Dublin, a master's degree from Oxford University and a doctorate in theology from Trinity College respectively. Here, he used to be the private secretary of Sir Temple, a priest of the Church of England and a country priest. From 171 to 1714, he was the editor-in-chief of the Inspectorate for the Tories. After the Tories fell from power, he returned to Ireland and became the deputy bishop of St. Patrick's Cathedral in Dublin. Swift attacked landlords and gentry and British colonial policies with a large number of political comments and satirical poems, which were warmly welcomed by readers. His satirical novels have a deeper and wider influence, so Gorky called him "one of the great literary creators" in the world.

Gulliver's Travels is a wonderful book. It is not a simple children's book, but a literary masterpiece full of satire and criticism. George Orwell, a famous British writer, has read it no less than six times in his life. He said, "If I had to open a bibliography and list six books to keep even if other books were destroyed, I would definitely include Gulliver's Travels." In this book, Swift's narrative skills and satirical talents are fully reflected.

The hero of the work, Riemel Gulliver, is an English surgeon and later promoted to captain; He is well-educated, proud of his motherland, and seems to be knowledgeable both professionally and politically. However, he is essentially a mediocre person, and Swift has made full use of this limitation of the hero to achieve the most full irony effect. The book consists of four volumes, in each of which Gulliver has to face special circumstances unimaginable to ordinary people.

The first volume is about Gulliver's experience in Lilliput. The ratio of Gulliver to Lilliput is twelve to one. The residents there are only six inches tall, and Gulliver is like a "giant mountain". At first, he was tied up by the little people, but later, because he behaved meekly and promised to accept certain conditions, the king of Lilliput agreed to restore his freedom. At this time, the country was being invaded by another lilliputian country (Blaive Scu). Gulliver crossed the strait and captured most of the ships of the enemy fleet, forcing the enemy to send envoys to make peace. Although Gulliver made great contributions, he was offended by several things, so the king decided to blind him and starve him to death. Gulliver got the news and fled to a neighboring country, repaired a boat and set sail for home.

The second volume describes Gulliver's experience in the Great Country. In this volume, Gulliver was caught in a storm when he went out to sea again, and the ship was blown to a strange land. This land is called Brobdingnag (Great Britain). The residents there are as tall as iron towers. When Gulliver arrived here, he suddenly became a dwarf from the "Giant Mountain". In a big country, he seemed to become a Lilliput (Lilliput) person, and the proportion was reversed, becoming one to twelve. Gulliver was as big as a mole in front of the farmers in the big country and was taken home as a plaything by the farmers. In order to make money, the farmer took him to the town and let him play tricks for people to watch. Later, he was bought by the queen and was able to get along with the king of Great Britain. Gradually, Gulliver's homesickness grew stronger and stronger. He pretended to be sick when he was patrolling the border with the king and went to the seaside to breathe fresh air. When he got into the small wooden box to sleep on the shore, an eagle took it away. Later, the wooden box fell into the sea and was found by passing ships. Gulliver inside was rescued and finally returned to England.

The third volume is about flying to the island country. This volume is relatively loose and spread widely, focusing on Gulliver's trip to Lepitar (the flying island), and the travel notes of Balny Babi, Lagenaiger, Greta Cone and Japan.

The fourth volume describes what Gulliver saw and heard in the country of Xianma ("the country of Huizhi"). This is the most controversial part ever. There, Gulliver was exiled by the wise and rational wisdom, and returned to the homeland where he was born and raised, but now he hates it, and spent the rest of his life with a bunch of "wild Hu" angrily and helplessly.

traces of British society at that time can be found in these fictional countries. The works concentrated on the contradictions in British society in the first half of the 18th century, and made a bitter satire on the British political system. For example, the high-heeled shoes in Lilliput represent Whigs at that time, while the low-heeled shoes represent Tories. The argument about whether to break eggs from the big end or the small end reflects the religious war. Gulliver, the hero, is hardworking, brave, witty and kind. The works are rich in imagination and strange in conception, and outline a colorful and magical world. The organic unity of fantasy and reality is the greatest feature of this work. The first edition was sold out within a week and immediately translated into French and Dutch. At the end of the 18th century, an adapted booklet appeared. In 185, Tower Bart Publishing House in London first published a special children's edition with three colorful copper plate illustrations. So far, the children's version generally only deals with Gulliver's adventures in lilliputian and adult countries. Gulliver's Travels has had an important influence on children's literature in Britain and the world, especially its imaginative techniques and bizarre descriptions are of pioneering significance in the history of children's literature in Britain.

Gulliver's Travels consists of four parts: Lilliput's Travels, Brobdingnag's Travels, Lepita's Travels and Huiguo's Travels. With magical imagination, exaggerated means and allegorical brushwork, the author mercilessly criticized the ruling class, especially for its corruption, incompetence, boredom, viciousness, dissoluteness, greed and arrogance.

Gulliver's Travels I * * * consists of four parts. The first volume of Lilliput's Travel Notes and the second volume of Brobdingnag's Travel Notes were written between 1721 and 1722. The fourth volume, Travel Notes of Hui Zhuguo, preceded the third volume and was written in 1723. The third volume is relatively loose, with a wide spread. It is mainly composed of the travel notes of Lepitar (Flying Island), and the travel notes of Balny Babi, Lagenager, Greta Cone and Japan. It was written for two years from 1724 to 1725. The four parts should be independent of each other, and some connection or contrast on the surface may only exist between the first volume and the second volume; Gulliver changed from a "giant mountain" in the lilliputian country to a poor dwarf in the adult country. Of course, no matter from the positive eulogy or the negative irony, Swift's emotions and thoughts are consistent in the four parts, that is, to criticize the British society in the first half of the eighteenth century without mercy, especially to whip the ruling class for corruption, incompetence, boredom, cruelty, dissoluteness, greed and arrogance. This kind of criticism and lashing voice even reached the level of fierceness and violence in the fourth volume of Hui Zhuguo's Travels. The scope of criticism and lashing seems to go beyond Britain in the early 18th century, and it directly points at the sinful, stupid, dirty and irrational whole human being. It's no wonder that many critics accuse Swift of being a misanthrope at least. Hui Gui is his ideal utopia. Gulliver was exiled by the wise and rational Hui Gui, and returned to the homeland that gave birth to him and now makes him hate, but spent the rest of his life with a bunch of "wild Hu" angrily and helplessly.

Introduction to How Steel was Tempered

How Steel was Tempered

Nikolai ostrovsky (194_1936), a famous Bolshevik writer in the Soviet Union, has become a friend and friend of tens of millions of aspiring young people in the world together with Paul Kochakin since his novel How Steel was Tempered came out.

in p>194, ostrovsky was born into a Ukrainian worker's family. His father was a seasonal worker in a brewery, and his mother worked as a cook in a large family. His family was very poor. Therefore, he only studied for three years and began to work and earn a living at the age of ten. Ostrovsky has worked in various occupations, such as helping others herd horses, working as a waiter in the station canteen, and working as an assistant stoker in a power plant. His life of poverty and humiliation has cultivated his hatred and rebellious character towards the old world. At the age of 13, he began to take an active part in revolutionary activities. In 1918, ostrovsky's hometown was once occupied by the German army. He risked his life to complete the task of collecting enemy information and posting revolutionary notices on the sentry shed of the German headquarters, which showed his wit, courage and fear of sacrifice and won the praise of his comrades.

In July p>1919, ostrovsky's hometown established the Youth League, and he became the first generation of the Youth League, and joined the Red Army to go to the front to fight the White Bandit Army. The following year, in a fierce battle, his head and abdomen were injured in many places, and his right eye lost 8% of his vision because of the injury. Serious injuries forced osterloff to leave the team. However, as soon as the injury improved, he turned to labor construction with a high degree of revolutionary consciousness. First, he worked as an assistant electrician in a railway factory, and then he volunteered to join the commando team and put himself into the hard work of building railways. On the construction site, he contracted typhoid fever and rheumatism, and was often in a coma. The serious illness has not yet healed, and he actively participated in the intense labor of grabbing firewood on the Dnieper River. Because of soaking in waist-deep ice water for a long time, rheumatism became more serious, and generate soon developed polyarthritis and pneumonia. Since then, he has lost the minimum health, and it is getting worse. By 1929, he was paralyzed, blind and completely lost his ability to move, but he was not pessimistic at all. "As long as his heart has not stopped beating, he must make himself a useful person to the party." Learning literary creation is a "ticket to life" found by ostrovsky lying in his hospital bed.

At the end of p>1927, ostrovsky wrote a novella about the growth and heroic campaign of kotov cavalry brigade while struggling with the disease. Two months later, when the novel was finished, he sealed it and asked his wife to send it to his comrades in Odessa's kotov cavalry brigade for their opinions. The comrades enthusiastically evaluated the novel, but never expected that the manuscript was sent back by the post office.
