Mr. Ye, a contemporary Jiangnan genius, won the Shi Naian Prize for Literature in 2020 for his biography of Nanjing, so that ordinary readers can better understand this historic and antique cultural city from the humanistic vision of this intellectual genius. In fact, apart from nonfiction biographical writing, Mr. Ye has always liked fictional novels, such as Flower Shadow and Love in 1937, which are excellent literary works, and these works also show his parody and plain writing style. If you want to understand Ye's personality and the charm of his works in a deeper, more diversified and more three-dimensional way, reading his prose is a good choice.

Life is Passionate, Tibet and Secularity, recently published by Beijing United Press, is a good text to understand Mr. Ye. The book * * * consists of five chapters, which is about young memories, hometown scenery, missed friends, ideal feelings and fireworks. Among them, in the part of young memories, we learned that the young Jiangnan gifted scholar is also very unruly, romantic and poetic. His romance is of course a child's love, but it is not limited to love, and there is also a feeling of self-happiness. For example, in Cycling Travel, we learned that he would skip class and ride a bike from Nanjing to Wuxi to find a girlfriend. This journey is very romantic, which shows how innocent this long-distance relationship is. With the first time, there was a second time, and talented people naturally rode all the way from Nanjing to Fuyang. This kind of riding experience made the author "never dream of that kind of happiness." At this time, the author discovered that a few years ago, a good friend of mine, Li Tongxue, rode a bicycle from Dongguan to Shenzhen to pick me up for dinner, and the happiness she experienced was undoubtedly the same as that of Mr. Ye.

In addition, in order to commemorate our alma mater, we saw the author's experience in Nanjing University that "except reading some books, I can't get them at night". The so-called "it's just a time for boys to study at night" confirms the author's experience of studying hard. This part also wrote the author's graduation thesis with novels, which shows how domineering his talent is; I also wrote a paragraph about the happiness that the author could not become a monk; I also recorded the embarrassment of shaving my head. We can read the author's strong "literati" feelings in "Starting to Learn Computer". The article simply wrote the article of Wang Luzhong, a righteous man in eastern Hunan in the Southern Dynasties. The three styles of writing used here show that ancient literati paid too much attention to writing tools, and the author criticized this formalism because writing well is the first important thing. For the author of local literati, his writing tool has become a computer, which shows the writer's literati spirit of keeping pace with the times. An informal and rude attitude.

In the second part, I wrote about the author's hometown of Nanjing. In the article Nostalgia, Wandering on the Ruins, through the author's narration, we know that the government of the Republic of China made a capital planning project in Nanjing from 65438 to 0927, which mentioned that Nanjing, the capital at that time, should be built into a model of a national city, comparable to European and American cities. Every time I read this, I can't help but recall my first experience in Nanjing. Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum is not only well planned, but also the buttonwood trees on the road are in good order, with good traffic. I really want to praise the urban planning of Nanjing. Their planning is the most perfect urban model in China. The background and development of contemporary Nanjing are inseparable from the history of capital planning.

Then we watched Mustard Garden, which is Li Yu's villa in Nanjing. This garden is a model of garden art, and the Mustard Garden was published, which is a textbook of Chinese painting. It's a pity that I didn't go to the park when I first went to Nanjing. You must go and see it when you have the chance. However, in the paper, we read that this kind of door no longer exists, which makes the author "nostalgic and naturally sad." The article that makes me particularly interested in life is the one that introduces pomegranate and plantain, which shows that the author is a knowledgeable scholar, and there is a gentle and elegant atmosphere of the author between the lines. Whenever I get a chance, I will plant a banana in the corner of my hometown yard and write a few big characters on its leaves. But I hope I won't be eaten by the big buffalo of my neighbor Sanbo. After all, our yard is quiet and harmonious without fences.

In the part of missing friends, I wrote the author's competitive side of playing cards, and also exposed Liu Zhenyun's irresponsibility and disunity in playing cards, saying that he didn't care whether his teammates lived or died, regardless of winning or losing. I also wrote about Wang Anyi's gratitude for meeting him. It is worth noting that the author mentioned here that his pen fee for the publication of Hanging Green Apples can buy a washing machine. I like the writer's pen fee a little more. I also wrote that the author and Ge Fei were beaten by thieves in Sanya, which was a friend in need. He also wrote that the author likes Su Tong's literary characteristics. Su Tong's works "like to write sentimental and lasting appeal in silence and indifference, and almost all of them are beautiful elegies", which is also the friendship that he and Su Tong appreciate each other. Please note that the author says Su Tong is a beautiful young man. In Tao Wenyu's poems, we read the author's views on poetry. He praised the charm of poetry in a style similar to prose poetry, and also showed his great talent.

Part of ideal feelings is naturally the writer's feeling and understanding of reading, writing and literature. This part is also the greatest embodiment of the author's profound knowledge, frankness and sincerity, emitting a gentle and elegant atmosphere and full of knowledge. For example, A Full Shelf of Books wrote that the wisdom of reading lies in making full use of public resources and not wasting too much on books, so borrowing books from the library is one of the characteristics of the literati's home, and the author's example once again vividly illustrates the true meaning of "don't borrow books, don't read them". However, the fact that writers always have vanity is pragmatically illustrated in Destroy Yourself. But at the same time, for the author, "novel is my life. Without novels, my life is meaningless. " Such words are worth pondering by every writer.

I especially like reading as a way of life, and I like the author's simple and insightful point of view: reading more books is not a bad thing, and it is not necessarily a good thing ... It may help you understand life better. This is a very pertinent and dialectical reading attitude. In addition, regarding the understanding that "it is better to study for ten years than to listen to your words", the author thinks that there is an intertextual relationship between them, which is mutually causal. Because you have to accumulate reading, you can understand what others say thoroughly. This shows the importance of reading, which I quite agree with.

In the article "Jiangnan Literati", it is a very academic long prose. Based on the history of Nanjing, this paper describes the living conditions of China literati in Nanjing, from Ruan Ji to Yuan Mei, to Gui Youguang He, to Jin Shengtan, and then to Gu, all of which describe the career and fate of this group. Such academic papers all reflect his pride and responsibility as an heir, which is naturally a summary of the author's ideal feelings and a review of history, thus strengthening his determination to carry forward the cause into the future. Of course, the author's vision is broad, and his love and research on literature is not limited to China. In the introduction of In Memory of Old Balzac and Young Werther, he realized that he was concerned about the childlike innocence in the world literary world.

The last part is about the daily life of the author and fireworks. Here, I not only wrote my attitude towards popular culture, but also wrote an article about homesickness caused by rising rice prices, as well as How to Eat in Winter. In this article about eating, the author uses parallelism to fully reflect the importance of eating in winter. Especially in this cold winter, eating in winter is not only limited to eating, but also a kind of warm communication. Besides, I wrote an interesting story about the author getting drunk and making a fool of himself. I also wrote a correct parenting bible in "Expectation for Daughters", that is, our parents should not encourage others to encourage, let alone control education. As a parent, the author's point of view is "I hope her life will be safe and happy." "Kindness of heart" is an educational thought that embodies the author's elegant and easy-going literati character, thus emitting a certain old literati atmosphere on the author, which should be very worthy of promotion. "I also wrote about my wife's cooking and the author's healthy lifestyle of walking and tai chi. He also wrote that in the matter of getting rich, the author extended the philosophical view that "only by knowing yourself can we grasp ourselves", and also explained the importance of being a hero who knows the times. And so on and so forth. The conventions and nuances hidden in the author's life all reflect the author's warmest and deepest love for life.

As Mr. Ye's good friend Su Tong commented on him: "Ye's personality is definitely Confucian, and he is a real scholar ..."

This is a collection of essays about the life story of Mr. Ye, a talented man in the south of the Yangtze River.
