Forty-two articles of Mr. Wang Zengqi are selected from the book Fireworks on Earth, which reflects Mr. Wang Zengqi's happy life from five different aspects: reading a good book, eating a good meal, seeing a good scenery, knowing some plants, fish and insects, and sticking to his spiritual world. It's worthwhile to eat everything.
Mr. Wang Zengqi's article is clean and beautiful, but also grounded. Although the world is bitter, when you really appreciate life, the fireworks on earth are not made of chicken feathers, but rely on our sincere eyes to see the beauty of everything in the world and treat life with sincerity. The fireworks on earth are the most touching, starting with our three meals a day.
First, human fireworks, the taste of eating.
In midsummer, sunlight is particularly greasy. I remember when I was a child, there were many hutongs and trees in front of my house, and watermelons were always sold under the shade. Watermelon was delicious and cheap at that time, and summer was also a must.
Another meal for northerners in summer is sesame paste noodles, because it is hot and there is no appetite. Remove the cooked noodles with water, grab a handful of shredded cucumber and pour some pepper oil. Of course, sesame sauce is a must, simple and delicious.
If people eat a lot in autumn, they will make up for the loss in summer. Northerners call it "sticking autumn fertilizer". The special meaning of "posting autumn fat" is: "eating barbecue"
Mr. Wang Zengqi said that there are three famous barbecues in Beijing: barbecue season, barbecue bay and Liu barbecue. He often goes to the barbecue shop near his home. Sometimes, he will ask the children to bring lunch boxes to bake a lunch box, buy some biscuits and have a meal for the whole family.
No matter sesame sauce noodles, barbecue, Sichuan radish, Kunming mushroom, Inner Mongolia handmade mutton, etc. , all have their own unique taste in fireworks, so our life has also added real fireworks to the taste.
Second, the smell of fireworks and walking on earth.
1939, Mr. Wang Zengqi came to Kunming after taking the college entrance examination. The library that he visited the most in his life was the Cuihu Library there. The library is small and the system is a bit like a Taoist temple. It's very quiet and tidy. Many white camellias are planted in a side garden, and whether anyone comes to see them or not, the camellias there will bloom quietly and happily. The best person in the library is the librarian. He came at the beginning and left at the end. It is precisely because of this library that Kunming people call all small pieces of paper "flying", such as stamps and bus tickets.
Besides Kunming, there are chrysanthemums and holly in Hefei. Tunxi and Huashan Hotel have Sanjiang Building, which is "Three Rivers in sight"; Sichuan has a good climate and hundreds of valleys, as well as the "Susan Temple" in Meishan, Leshan Giant Buddha, Sichuan cuisine, Sichuan Opera and so on.
To read thousands of books, it is better to take Wan Li Road, with numerous readers. This is fireworks, not all chicken feathers are not fairyland on earth, but we can still feel fairyland on earth in the life of chicken feathers.
Third, human fireworks, spiritual taste
A work can be regarded as realistic or modernist. As long as it is a real work, a work is a work. Just like bitter gourd, it can be called melon or gourd, as long as it is edible. —— Wang Zengqi
Mr. Wang Zengqi's article is cleaner, more sincere and has its own unique taste: "own thinking."
Food, clothing, housing and transportation are essential in fireworks, and adding color to fireworks is our spiritual world. In Mr. Wang Zengqi's prose, there is life, vast mountains and rivers, and his spiritual world, that is, a pair of eyes that are good at discovering.
At the symposium on novel creation in Zhangjiakou, I answered the relationship between the writer's subjective and objective world. He said: "My life in our socialist country is warm and rich. Young people who emphasize writing about themselves are not necessarily elegant and profound in their inner activities? We should see that the world around us has many beautiful and real things. A writer should have a pair of eyes that are good at discovering and see much more than others. For ordinary things, he should be able to see poetry and be interested in things around him. Being good at feeling is what a writer should have. Writers always keep the freshness of life and keep the surprises of life. "
Mr. Wang Zengqi likes to record some touching things in his life, and he will record those things that make people think. In his work "Being ordained", he wrote about a monk. Many people thought that he had been a monk, but he didn't. He lived in a small temple for a period of time, letting him know that monks are human beings, and guiding young people to have a pure and healthy emotion while writing.
There are also many scenes in The Chronicle of Big Noisy, which is the hometown of Mr. Wang Zengqi. Many works come from life, and there are real and positive aspects in them, which bring people thinking and personal entertainment.
A poem written by Zen master Huikai of Wumen in Song Dynasty;
There are flowers in spring, moons in autumn, cool breeze in summer and snow in winter.
If you don't mind your own business, this is a good time on earth.
Fireworks on earth, not only those curling clouds, crackling flames, boiling water, cooking, children's frolicking, but also the four seasons, mountains and rivers, a tree and a flower endowed by nature, all constitute the fireworks on earth that we see.
Let Wang Zengqi's book "Fireworks on Earth, the Most Moving" lead us to travel in the vast starry sky, mountains and rivers, and human feelings are warm and cold.
If we give fireworks a meaning, it is to treat life sincerely, because life is everywhere, and fireworks are our life.
