Lotus Pond Rhyme is a famous essay by Ji Xianlin. He wrote that he didn't mean to throw a few lotus seeds in the pool in front of the building, but he was full of wind and lotus. Lotus is the love of Ji Lao. As the title of the book, it is intended to use lotus as a metaphor for people and lotus as a metaphor for literature. As the saying goes, "the spring breeze is elegant and can hold things, and the autumn waters are dust-free." Zhang Zhongxing said in the preface that Mr. Ji has three difficulties: first, he is knowledgeable, second, he is simple and honest, and third, he is deeply affectionate. These three words are also suitable for lotus. In my opinion, Mr. Ji is familiar with Chinese and foreign languages and is compatible with hundreds of schools. He is knowledgeable and has many experts. His knowledge of Bamba and Tuhuoluo is unique in China. He is recognized as an academic leader. His profoundness and simplicity can be imagined, just as the lotus burns its brilliance, but it "emerges from the mud without being stained, bright without being demon." Without reading his prose, it is difficult to understand the word "affectionate", just like people who don't love lotus flowers, they naturally can't understand its purity and loneliness.
In college, there are many questions about parents' composition, but Mr. Ji Xianlin is not the best, but he has a lot of heart and deep feelings, and few people go too far. This feeling, first, is infatuation with prose writing. The last two pieces of Tsinghua's Dream were written on 165438+200017 October, and Ninety Stories were written on 65438+ 20 February of the same year. There are many essays, which should be full of infinite life emotions. The second is Ji Lao's deep affection for the world and life. There are ten series in this book, namely, Seeking the Roots of Qilu, Breaking the Virtue of Soul, Memories of Tsinghua's Dreams, Spring and Autumn Annals of Yanyuan, Embracing Nature, Loving the Market, Feeling Life, Taste the Book, and Breaking Grass and Picking Leaves. Strangely, people's old feelings have not withered, but they are very strong. The uniqueness of Mr. Ji is not only here: on the one hand, he is intelligent enough to grow into a great scholar, on the other hand, he is affectionate and sensitive, which has cultivated him into a master of prose.
Mr. Ji is a rare sentimental person among literati, and can even be said to be sentimental. His prose is more sad than happy. He loves animals and flowers, and "often arouses a lot of worries for some cats, dogs and flowers"-Ma Yinghua soothes loneliness, February Orchid shares the pain, Peony Citron cheers up, Lycium barbarum oleander adds poetry, shares joys and sorrows with rabbits at the age of 20, and shares joys and sorrows with old cats and magpies at the age of 80. In his eyes, books, food, alleys and mountains have nothing to do with love. It can be said that love is deeper than plants, insects and fish. He is fascinated by the sun, the moon and the stars. There is also love and hate between home and country, and love between people. The most incomprehensible thing is his cherished works. The friendship between teachers and friends was wet with tears, and mother's gratitude was burned, especially Mother and Child, Three Little Girls, A pair of calloused hands, When the evening primrose blooms, and Returning to the Light Source Court were almost all written with tears. Also pregnant with Hu Shi, Zhang Zhongxing wrote a humorous paper, but Ji Xianlin remembered it and was hurt all over. This kind of emotion can be found in Chen Yinque, Wu Mi, Fu Sinian, Shen Congwen and Hu Qiaomu. Ji Xianlin's prose has always been regarded as a "scholar's prose" school, because he is knowledgeable, suffering and knowledgeable; Dare to tell the truth, but also understand the world, set history, knowledge, talent, love in one. However, his affection, depression and sadness are unparalleled among his peers. Ji Xianlin wrote his favorite books, such as Historical Records, A Dream of Red Mansions, Du Fu's poems, Li Yu's and Na Lanxing's poems and so on. Most of them are melancholy works, and they are relieved when you think about it.
Strangely, Mr. Ji is so affectionate that he hardly talks about his emotional entanglements. A few days ago, I came across an article about Ji Xianlin's marriage and love, which was written according to Mr. Ji's memoir Ten Years of Studying in Germany: The Meyer Family. Young Ji Xianlin fell in love with Miss irmgard of Meyer's family when studying in Germany. A typewriter is a bridge between them, but Ji Xianlin refuses to fall in love because he has a wife and children at home. Ji Xianlin wrote in his memoirs: "Now I am old. I'm afraid not many people in the world can still think of her. When I can't think of her, I'm afraid no one in the world can think of her. "
At the end of the article, it is said that someone was moved by this love story and made a special trip to Gottingen to find the whereabouts of Umgard, and finally found her. The result was unexpected: Miss irmgard has never been married and is single, while the old typewriter is still sitting quietly on the desk.
What a loving couple. That's a real pity. This is beside the point. Mr. Ji Xianlin's article is full of true feelings and is well-known by the public. For his profound knowledge, ordinary readers like me can only admire or be indifferent, but they can taste and even speculate on his emotional world. When talking about prose creation, Ji Xianlin once wrote: The essence of prose lies in the word "true feelings", or it can be said separately: truth is truth, and it cannot be made up like a novel; Love is to have lyrical elements. Even narration must have a little lyrical meaning. This is his way of writing, but also the way of being a man, prose life, which is also called. There are no differences in study, life and articles, but there are real and false feelings-reading old articles this spring is a great gain for me.
