Reading Notes of Jing Hua Yuan 1

During the holiday, I read a good book, Jing Hua Yuan. This book was given to me by my mother on my birthday and I like it very much. Because it praises good talents and reflects the equal requirements of women's status in life.

In the first part of the book "The Garden of Flowers in the Mirror", Tang Ao, duo jiugong and Lin Zhiyang mainly traveled overseas by boat, while in the second part, they told the story of Wu Zetian's selection of talented women in the imperial examination, and 111 talented women entrusted by various flower fairies took part in the examination high school and made achievements in the DPRK.

Among them, I like to break the wine, debauchery and wealth, and return this part of the Great Tang Dynasty, which was written very interestingly by the author Li Ruzhen. Wu Zetian's nephews, Wu Sansi, Wu Sisi, Wu Wusi and Wu Liusi, respectively guarded four important passes in the southeast and northwest of the capital: debauchery and wealth. Then many generals were sent to break through these four levels. This process is very interesting. Let me give you one: for example, when attacking the gas level, many generals were broken, and finally they were prompted by the immortal, and then they were successfully broken. What is this method? Very funny, just burn incense, bathe, then write a word forbearance on a piece of paper, and finally sacrifice a person's idol. Who is this person? Is the famous giant in the early Tang dynasty, China forbearance. On behalf of Lou's morality. After a series of complicated operations, it was able to break through the gas barrier. The methods of breaking through the last three levels are basically the same as this level.

When I read this part, I was filled with emotion. On the one hand, I admired the author Li Ruzhen, on the other hand, I sympathized with women. Because after the imperial examination, all the flower fairies were basically married, and the husbands they married were all civil and military officials who came to break through the four customs. During the attack on the four levels, because no suitable method was found, there were countless casualties, and these talented women unconsciously became widows. In the end, they all died for their husbands. So I have deep sympathy for women. In ancient feudal society, there was often an unequal concept of preferring boys to girls. In detail, it was to attach importance to men's rights, and to define women as men's subordinates, and to limit their opportunities to develop their personal talents and even personal freedom. In ancient times, there were many examples, such as the emperor's succession was only passed on to his son, and women were not allowed to take the imperial examination. All ministers were men, and men with distinguished status could have three wives and four concubines. There was a very serious problem for girls to bind their feet: men had three wives and four concubines, so I think it is wrong for men to ask for loyalty from women, while men themselves failed to be loyal.

On the other hand, I admire Li Ruzhen because he is a feminist. Because "Flowers in the Mirror" is actually a reflection of the ancient idea of son preference, it's true that you said it was written by a woman, which may be a girl's complaint, but Li Ruzhen was a man, so his own time was actually very advanced.

After reading this book at last, I can't help feeling that the author Li Ruzhen's writing skills can also be comparable to The Story of the West Island and The List of Gods. He mocked some people with spicy and humorous writing, and mocked and criticized all kinds of people with bad quality and misbehavior with some examples by cartoon.

In conclusion, The Mirror Flower Garden has given me a lot of beneficial enlightenment: for example, if you are lazy, you won't get a good end. Everyone has two faces, and flattery won't do. I hope students can buy this book and have a good look, because it is a good book. I love Jing Hua Yuan! Reading Notes of Jing Hua Yuan (Part II)

The description of women in Jing Hua Yuan has both successes and failures. The most full-fledged image in the book is Tang Xiaoshan, who holds the life of a hundred flowers fairy, has a good knowledge, and can make the two Hei Chi sisters who humiliated duo jiugong bow down and write the words like "Goddess Scattered Flowers Fu" in a short time. Because the overall values of the book are Confucian, the protagonist is therefore a filial daughter who has traveled thousands of miles to find her father. In the crowd, we can often find her advantages such as stability and understanding. Others, such as Luo Hongqiu, Yin Ruohua, Yan Zikun and others, either have some martial arts and are brave, or understand the truth and tell stories, all of which have their own experiences and personalities. On the whole, however, these 111 women are similar in beauty and intelligence, and some of them are even five or six sisters of a certain family. They are almost indistinguishable except their names, and they are simply the same face. This description is somewhat boring. As the general view holds, the first half of Water Margin is better than the second half, because all the stories written in front are personal stories, and the images of Lu Zhishen and Wu Song can be vividly written. While writing about Song Jiang's army's expedition to the west, pen and ink are mainly spent on writing about how wise the Lord is and how clever his disposal is. The previous heroes seem to have lost their personality, which is a pity.

As I said before, the values of the whole "Garden of Flowers in the Mirror" are Confucian, which praises the father's kindness and filial piety, makes the monarch clear and loyal, and makes all learned scholars respected in the story. At the same time, it also describes a group of girls who also have those good qualities. Through their performance in the talented women's exam, it shows that women can also undertake the tasks like men. As far as the author's time is concerned, this view is undoubtedly progressive. However, girls also talk about "Rites" and history like old pedants. After all, they lack the spirituality of some young people. In addition, the author borrows books from people's mouths to question the popular Confucianism, such as extravagant wedding and funeral instruments, ostentatious banquets, and unclear lawsuits. In addition to questioning, the author also established those overseas "ideal countries": Scholar's Country and Xuanyuan Country. This spirit of thinking and exploration is commendable.

One of the great shortcomings of this book is that fatalism and karma are too strong, which is related to my own belief in reincarnation. All the good people in the book are blessed by the gods, and all the evil people are doomed to suffer, and they will be animals in the next life. Every time I think about the future, the most accurate ones are always astronomical phenomena and divinatory images, and I have never missed them. Of course, the astrology and street nursery rhymes in the official history are everywhere, and they are more accurate than one, but I would rather believe that wise people judge the future according to the present situation and assume that it is a celestial phenomenon to convince people. This kind of fateful coincidence is often found in this book, as if it were all doomed. But we don't have to be picky. Even today, aren't there idiots who believe in those constellations and so on?

On the whole, Flowers in the Mirror still gave me a lot of useful enlightenment and developed my imagination. This book has survived to this day, and it has its indelible value, so I don't need to comment more. Reading Notes of Jing Hua Yuan (Part 3)

I am very happy to get the full-length book Jing Hua Yuan by Zhejiang Literature and Art Publishing House. For those of us who love books, meeting good books is like meeting a fairy. Gorky says: I love books, just like a hungry person jumping on bread. When I saw this book, I naturally feasted on it.

when you open the home page, you will find a pair of long color illustrations, which are as exquisite as picture books, and interpret the quaint world of the book. The illustration style is biased towards Ukiyo-e painting, but the author's own imagination can really give readers a desire to read, and the first star should be added here.

The whole book has a total of ***111 times. Compared with various versions published forward, firstly, it is more carefully reviewed, some typos are corrected, and translation points are added. Reading is stress-free and there is no urine spot in the whole process.

In the Tang Dynasty, the call for equality between men and women reached a climax under the rule of Wu Zetian. Under the moaning of some feudal guardians, this imposing female emperor (in fact, she was not the first female emperor in history, and the first was Chen Shuozhen, the female leader of the rebel army in the Gaozong period of the Tang Dynasty, whose name was Wen Jia) strongly praised agriculture and mulberry, and the status of women was also greatly improved. Most civil servants used female officials, and they were all very human. It's not the kind of woman who has nothing in her stomach, nor is it the kind of woman who can only be popular with women. Instead, she is a real talented woman who also has a man's ambition and is determined to serve the country with her talents, such as Shangguan Waner. Moreover, the book also says that she will also make unannounced visits to look for truly talented women, instead of unilaterally letting her subordinates go down. This is one of her great advantages.

In the first few chapters of the book, it was mainly written that Wu Zetian made Baihua bloom in winter, but when the peony didn't open in time, she was furious and ordered the peony to be exiled to Luoyang. As a result, Baihua Fairy was implicated and violated the dogma, so she was sent down to earth and became Tang Xiaoshan, the daughter of Tang Ao. On the way, Tang Xiaoshan went to the sea to find her father, and met 99 talented women reincarnated by Flower Fairy. What was their fate? These authors are still not spoilers. Readers who like this book can buy it and have a look. I believe they can return with satisfaction.

It's always been strange that duo jiugong was so knowledgeable that even Captain Haddock, who drank too much in Tintin's adventures, felt ashamed. The Tang Empire stands at the top of the world. Not only are there countless countries that pay tribute, but even Arab countries come here to learn and communicate. Of course, we are also mutually beneficial, so the Silk Road is opened. The trade between East and West not only shows the West the profoundness of Chinese culture, but also makes the ordinary people in China realize that there are many choices of western food, which can satisfy their appetite and talk about food when they are bored. Talk about life (the Central Plains has introduced many varieties of vegetables and fruits through communication with ethnic minorities in the northwest, such as alfalfa, spinach, Brassica, cucurbit, bean, garlic and coriander, grapes, almonds, watermelons and pomegranates, and spices such as pepper and sugar. At the same time, the cooking methods of the western regions were also introduced to the Central Plains, such as cheese, Hu cake, Qiang cooking and roasting, Hu roasted meat, Hu soup, sheep dish sausage and so on.

We are actually very touched by the 33 countries we visited in the book. We have read Bai Yang's Strange Journey to the West, and we are glad to see that some countries that Tang Priest and his disciples met have the impression of acne, but they all have the shadow of Li Ruzhen, so this leisure novel of Qing Dynasty can have such a far-reaching impact on these strange novels of later generations.

People in these countries are still of practical significance to the present. For example, the girl country represents equality between men and women, which is still of educational significance in today's times. Two-sided countries represent the diversity of human nature. Some people talk about morality in person, but they are shameless. The Republic of China represents some people who love flattery, so long as they kiss their ass and lick their chrysanthemums, they will laugh at it, but when they are at sunset and no one flatters them, their hearts will be extremely lost. People in countries with breasts are taller than their chests, because they are lazy. Just today, we can see people with mild grades pretending to be sick on the subway, gaining sympathy, cheating on food and drinking. It can be said that people in these countries and some people now are accurate.

There is no reason why such a magnificent picture can't be supported. I hope we can learn some knowledge from reading, and we can also have some feelings after hiding the book. I think this is much better than those games that kill people's will. I hope our people can read more books and increase their cultural heritage.

Our country is vigorously promoting traditional culture, hoping to enrich our self-restraint from the vast traditional culture and improve the quality of the whole people. In this way, our country can be more United and our motherland can be strong. Not long ago, we have been chasing the Central Committee's Chinese Poetry Conference, and then the Chinese Poetry Book, and now we are fascinated by the Central Committee's Chinese Opera Conference. Think about it, even China's operas.

I wish Mr. Li Lao's full-length edition "The Edge of a Mirror Flower" a big sale, and I also wish that the reading style in China will flourish. Thank you! Reading Notes of Jinghuayuan (Part 4)

"The mountains and mountains are far away, the roads are different, and I am lonely and bitter in this life", which started from Xianyuan and ended in peace. A fairy tour, accompanied by kindness all the way, a ups and downs of the trip is to leave, and the life is entangled with flowers. The road we have traveled and the vicissitudes we have experienced will gradually make people look down on everything, adding elegance and virtue, and noble monologues.

The book "The Flower in the Mirror" was written by Li Ruzhen, a critical novel written in the late Qing Dynasty. It was the author's time that triggered his inspiration to write this book. He sincerely and truly criticized the sentence "A woman without talent is a virtue" in the name of the novel, which was used to it at that time, even unremarkable.

The main narrative of this book is: Start with the immortal. In the Zhou Dynasty, Wu Zetian ordered a hundred flowers to blossom on a certain day, which shows that this is unrealistic. However, Baihua dared not violate the imperial edict and called all the flowers to give vent to Wu Huang's fragrance. Unexpectedly, it was condemned to earth by the Jade Emperor, and the Baihua Fairy, as the head of the hundred flowers, was forced to descend to the Tang family. His father, Tang Ao, had the heart to re-list the scientific research, but it was not satisfactory again and again, and once he was framed. Deeply lonely, he had to set foot on the road of traveling abroad. After many turns, Tang Ao, How Long Gong and Lin Zhiyang embarked on the journey of looking for flowers, met all kinds of talented women on the way, and learned about the customs of various countries. Finally, he saw everything clearly, thinking about retiring to Penglai Island, cultivating self-cultivation and staying on the front.

In their dynasty, "a woman without talent is a virtue". At that time, the school refused to admit women, so women had no talent. Even with such excellent people and talents, a large number of outstanding women were drowned in vain. When Tang Ao and others arrived in Hei Chi, they saw two girls in the women's school, Hong Hong and Ting. The most shocking thing about these two 14-and 15-year-old girls was their endless talents, which really made people admire them. With a powerful aura different from others, they talked with Gong and Tang Ao about learning, involving music and writing, academic schools, and talked eloquently and aggressively, making them blush and sweat. But later, Wu Zetian gave the woman a chance to show it.

This book introduces the anecdotes and oddities of many countries, such as Scholar's Country. People in Scholar's Country are polite, humble and orderly, and some are too modest. As long as two-faced people meet rich and powerful people, they will show compliments and villain faces and actively please others; And when you meet with no money and it's okay, you will show an ugly face of contempt, and so will the atmosphere. How many people can listen to advice? Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty, was a monarch who won the hearts of the people, and his advice when most needed is least heeded, which won the loyalty and trust of the people.

What impressed me the most was that the author secretly criticized the social inequality in his travels in the girl country, but the girl country was just a system of "men are inferior to women". At that time, men wore dresses as women to govern their internal affairs, while women were the opposite. When I think of what happened to Lin Zhiyang, I can't help but say, "Didn't ancient women suffer?" Who will have pity on them? Therefore, the author asks men to understand the ugly and inhuman nature of foot-binding and other bad habits from the standpoint of women.

"There are flowers that don't give thanks in the field, and there are evergreen grass in the eight knots", which comes from a scattered origin, and flowers bloom and fall. Although it can't be controlled, I think this is the best result. Five reading notes on the edge of the mirror

It's a dream to spend time in the mirror, and it's a coincidence to swim in the world of mortals. Classics, I think, are the best comments on The Edge of Mirror Flowers.
