(Source: celebrities from all walks of life who are members of the Chinese Writers Association) The works are arranged in chronological order. Cultural Journey 1992 Taiwan Province Publishing 1995 Mainland Publishing Cultural Journey 1995 These articles, with their profound knowledge of literature and history, rich cultural sentiment and artistic expression, not only reveal the great connotation of Chinese culture, but also provide the field of contemporary prose. Notes on Mountain Residence 1995 The writing of the book Notes on Mountain Residence began in 1992 and was completed in 1994, which lasted more than two years. In order to write this book, the author resigned from the administrative position of the college and stopped working, so these two years were pure and almost devoted. It is inefficient to spend so much time writing eleven articles, but the author's writing is linked to investigation, and he has to go to many places over and over again, so he can't get up quickly. I remember once, in order to check the two words on the couplet of a historic site in Hainan Island, I wrote several letters and couldn't get an accurate answer, so I had to go again. It is absurd to calculate the economic gains and losses, but there are other gains and losses in the article, which is called "the gains and losses are well known". Frost River "Frost River" 1999 is surprisingly quiet, but this silence makes it the purest river. Clear, indifferent, magnanimous, no excitement on the shore, no wait and see, almost no houses and docks, so it has not been reduced to a vein of water and a passage. It retains the character of the river itself and makes everything on the shore pass by. No matter how important, cruel and exciting these things are, they can't compare with the current state of the river itself. A bit desolate, but refused to open; It is extremely lonely, but complacent. Soon it will freeze, this is its own schedule, and it will take a proper rest when it takes a break ... A thousand-year sigh in 2000, a thousand-year sigh. This is a diary that records Yu's experience of hiking 40,000 kilometers in the off-road vehicle of Hong Kong Phoenix TV at the turn of the Millennium. They went to look for the roadbed of ancient human civilization, only to find that there were so many roads, blurred grass, dense trenches and bandits. I don't know what I will meet in the next kilometer. I only know a series of true horror stories. At the end of "A Thousand Years Journey", the author wrote this passage: "Four months of adventure, every day we miss the finish line. Today, we are here. Looking back, we are attached to tens of thousands of kilometers of feet. That is the meridian system of human civilization. From then on, all the cold and warm pains there will be quickly transmitted to my heart. " Boundless Traveler "Boundless Traveler" In 200 1 year, travelers walked alone in the distant wilderness, unknown, and encountered problems everywhere. Just because of a persistent trust, they dared to put any land in the world under their feet and stepped out of an endless territory for future generations. Lend Me My Life In 2004, Lend Me My Life was Yu's farewell work to China cultural circles, which involved many unknown experiences of him and his family, and also described the whole-person model of "disclosure" and "criticism" during the Cultural Revolution in memory ... From his predecessors to himself, the author wrote a literary work with plain and true memories. "I have always disapproved that artists who are in the process of creation are too excited, but they often burst into tears when writing this book." -Yu Di Sheng "Where is the flute?" In the history of China in 2004, there were Jin Ge iron horses everywhere, but listening carefully, it also echoed with the flute of Hu Jia. But the latter voice is too soft and light, and it is often forgotten. Forgotten, history becomes fierce and rough. This book aims to capture the flute sound of Kunqu Opera, which has fascinated China people for two hundred years. In Where is the Flute, Yu still pays attention to another historical and musical intangible culture with his consistent cultural perspective and prose style. Yu said, as early as 12 years ago, I began to prepare "Where is the flute?" At that time, Cultural Journey had not yet entered Taiwan Province Province, and a series of activities in Taiwan were received as Kunqu scholars. Looking for China Throughout the book Looking for China 2008, there are not many flattering words and flowery words, but there are many wise words and a well-known story. I seldom describe the scenic spots in detail, but I often construct a rich and profound humanistic picture with a turn of the pen, and then enter a straightforward chant, which, together with the momentum of the world, exudes all kinds of reverie and discussion about China culture. It explains the magnificence of Chinese culture and the rise and fall of the Yellow River civilization for every reader, so that readers are infected by the emotion of the article and unconsciously accept the author's voice, thus thinking about life and the future with a brand-new attitude. Yu Xiansheng's new edition of Encyclopedia of Culture is divided into six volumes. The first two books about China, Looking for China and Touching the Earth, were released. Rubbing the Ground Rubbing the Ground In 2008, two books, Rubbing the Ground Rubbing the Ground, selected some famous chapters from Cultural Journey and Notes on Mountain Residence, but each one was carefully revised by the author himself. In the second half of the book, an article about the ecology of ethnic minorities in remote areas was published for the first time. The book has 230,000 words. Since then, all of Yu's cultural prose works are based on the text and title of this set of books, and the previous versions are no longer published, so as not to mislead readers. The Dark Corner of History, which was collected in 2009, has been widely read by literary history and readers as a model of historical and cultural beauty, and it can be called the Taishan Beidou in autumn rain prose. Readers will appreciate Yu's spiritual tremor and the weight of thinking reflected in his historical tracing. Asking about Learning In 2009, for nearly ten years, Yu Xiansheng has been exploring Chinese civilization and world civilization in a personal adventure way, and the results of his investigation have had a great influence on Chinese society around the world through television and books. The origin of this book is the cultural discussion program "Autumn Rain" hosted by the teacher on Phoenix Satellite TV. However, after presiding over Autumn Rain, Mr. Yu Qiu didn't rush to publish an adapted version of related books, but it took him two years, almost word for word, to carefully improve and re-create, before solemnly publishing this book. Teacher Yu Qiu will lead readers to deeply explore the cultural essence of different times in the East and China, and at the same time, combine the communication power of culture and TV media to greatly stimulate readers' desire to explore the ancient civilization of China. I can't wait. Yu explained the original intention of writing this book at the beginning of I can't wait: "Seven years ago, I wrote memory literature," I can't wait to lend it to me for a lifetime ". Unexpectedly, after the publication of this book, it triggered a memory craze among many elders, relatives, colleagues and neighbors. They kept pointing out to me what needed to be supplemented and corrected. Even some readers I didn't know before gave me various reference materials in a roundabout way. A professor severely criticized Lend My Life. He said,' What life? You and your wife have had the most thrilling experience in the past ten years, but you obviously worry too much and can't write clearly.' His criticism is quite right. China literature should not shy away from the immediate suffering, because it is not only its own experience. Only when I wrote it down did I find that truth is more literary than literature. Yu said, "Many people related to me have died. I really want to talk to them, whether they can hear or not. So there is the book in front of me-"I can't wait. "Can't wait" narrates the family history in a calm tone. Great-grandfather and great-grandfather set out from Cixi, Zhejiang Province to travel to the seaside. Grandfather, grandmother, grandmother, father, mother, menstruation, uncle, "I" and his wife Malan, the lives of many family figures have been ups and downs in the light and shadow of nearly a hundred years of history; Cousin's life and uncle's death during the Cultural Revolution reflect the abnormal fate of the abnormal times, and the calm narrative contains tragic collective struggle. Yu said that this is a symbolic work and a "China Reader" that goes deep into the soul. It tells readers what kind of spiritual journey your parents had before you were born, and how this spiritual journey penetrated into today and became your life background. " "I can't wait" was written word for word by Yu, so he called it "pure handwritten memory literature" with great treasure. Yu said: "Perhaps this strange name can arouse readers' imagination: an elderly person holds a pen, thinks, writes, daubs, modifies and copies, and then tears off several pages of the manuscript and sticks a paper-cut. This primitive word "handwriting" and "memory" are linked together, which is really appropriate. "
