Reflections on The Journey to the West.
Every time I turn to Journey to the West, I always feel different. It is the most vivid of the four classical novels. When I was a child, I always felt very enjoyable and interesting. But today, what remains unchanged is the bizarre and colorful mythical world, but my understanding has changed.
This is a classic that everyone loves to read. Everyone can get different feelings and inspirations when reading. Some people like its distinctive personality. Some people like its magnificent overall image; Some people like its vivid and humorous dialogue narration; Some people also study its historical background and social phenomena. But in my opinion, his tortuous plot hides people's yearning and unattainable ideal of life and human pursuit, that is freedom.
2/kloc-People in the 20th century yearn for freedom and the embodiment of freedom: the Monkey King. The Monkey King broke through the ground, "not under the jurisdiction of Kirin, not under the control of Phoenix, not under the constraint of human throne", and rushed into the Dragon Palace to fight with the ghost department, aiming to be king from Guo Huashan. It can be said that human nature has got rid of all bondage and is completely free. In fact, the Monkey King is the embodiment of freedom. His most outstanding quality is his yearning for freedom. He is always pursuing freedom, and all his struggles are for freedom. Such a vivid image gives readers the strength and courage to pursue freedom. However, everyone knows that at present, even in the future, complete freedom is impossible after all, and people will always be bound in one way or another. Although we are surrounded by a constrained world, we can make our heart as broad and deep as possible, so that it can be boundless and inclusive of heaven and earth.
But at present, there are still many people in society who are bound by some worthless things, but enjoy it and feel very satisfied. After hundreds of years of exploration and development, people's demand for material is no longer urgent, but their demand for spiritual freedom has been obliterated for no reason. In a word, I think what modern people lack most is an open and enterprising spirit to seek the greatest freedom.
The Journey to the West, which has been tempered by the times, contains the spirit of freedom that people are most eager for in the new century ... I understand why it has been passed down to this day.
2. Notes on Water Margin
(1)-drunk and beat Jiang Menshen.
Song Wu killed Ximen Qing, was sent to banishment in Mengzhou, and met Zhang Qing and Sun Erniang in Hengpo. But these are not exciting enough, but this episode of Song Wu's drunken beating of Jiang Menshen is the most exciting.
In this episode, Song Wu helped Mercy recapture the Happy Forest for personal friendship, and every wine officer on the way ate three bowls of wine. These two points show that he has a feeling of letting go of himself.
And his teasing before hitting Jiang Menshen was even more wonderful. He first found fault with the wine officer, and then provoked Jiang Menshen and beat him hard, which can prove that Song Wu was a careless person.
He can also be divided into several details when flirting. He changed the wine three times, and then said that he would let Jiang Menshen's concubine drink with him. If the wine is full, he will fight with them (including Jiang Menshen here).
After he killed Jiang Menshen, he was afraid that he would sue the official. When he asked Jiang Menshen for the third thing, he was afraid that he would sue officials and take back Happy Forest in the future, so he was told to leave Mengzhou and not to live here. This also shows how careful Song Wu is.
(2)-Four Tigers Killing in Yiling
Li Kui jy saw the reunion of Song Jiang and his son and missed his mother, so he went to Baizhang Village in Yishui County to visit his mother.
On the way, I met Gui Li as a fake Li Kui jy threat. Gui Li was defeated and asked for forgiveness, saying that he had a 90-year-old mother. Killing him means killing him and his mother. Li Kui jy took pity on him, so he spared him and gave him a piece of silver to let him go.
I don't think the author likes people like Gui Li, so he let Gui Li and Li Kui meet again and let Li Kui kill him. One is that the author can vent his anger, and the other is to make those readers agree with him. After reading him, he has a heroic temperament, as if he were Li Kui jy. It's wonderful that Li Kui jy killed Gui Li.
But later, when Li Kui jy carried his mother through Yiling, the scene of killing the tiger was the most wonderful. First, I went to fetch water, and then I found my mother missing, and I found two tigers with two legs. I killed the tiger in a rage, and the male tiger and the female tiger came to seek revenge and were killed.
Unfortunately, he killed the tiger, was invited to his house, and was caught. After reading this, everyone wants to defend Li Kui jy, which shows the author's good intentions.
(3)- Complaining about the Lion Building
Song Wu was in yanggu county and went to Beijing for business. Only when I came back did I know that my brother Wu Dalang was dead. Song Wu became suspicious and discovered the truth. He went to sue the official, but the county museum took bribes. In desperation, he avenged Wu Dalang in Lion Building.
One of the highlights is the part that killed Ximen Qing in the final revenge. Although Wu Dalang died, Pan Jinlian and Ximen Qing got the consequences she deserved, and Song Wu was sent to Mengzhou to kill the people. I think it is possible that the author is satirizing the fatuity of the imperial court at that time. Ximen Qing's description here is simply "smelly", and almost anyone who reads it will scold him a word or two, which shows how good the author describes the characters!
(4)- Selling knives to Bianjing City
Yang has no money, so he has to sell his treasure knife and earn some money in another country to make a living. Who knows that when selling knives, local ruffians are insulted in every way. Yang Zhi couldn't stand it, so he killed Niu Er and went to the newspaper office. Finally, he was sentenced to banishment to Daming House.
The most interesting scene is that Yang Zhi sells knives. First, I asked who bought the knife. After Niu Er came, I asked him to try this knife. Niu Er tried every means to obstruct and humiliate him, and was finally killed. This tells us what some hooligans were like then. Niu Er's death not only vented his anger at the characters in the book, but also made readers feel relieved after reading it. Perhaps this is what the author wrote by grasping the reader's psychology.
(5)-Xunyang Building in the poem
After Song Jiang arrived in Jiangzhou, he met Shen Xing Taibao and others. One day, drinking in Xunyang Building, I wrote an anti-poem on the wall and left my name. Huang Wenbing finally met him on death row.
This incident made Song Jiang laugh and cry for the readers. I don't know what to say about him, and this episode is nothing exciting. It's just that the author can write Song Jiang to the extent that readers can't say anything about Song Jiang. It's really amazing. I can only say that Song Jiang is too confused to mention any poems. It is with this episode that we can better set off the scene of the next episode. Song Jiang's poems were robbed for a while to set off the scene of cutting the court behind him. Indeed, it is better to be with Song Jiang's poems than with others. One is that you can't say anything, and the other is that you can make them stop the court for more reasons. So I think this episode is good.
3. Reading Notes on Romance of the Three Kingdoms
I read The Romance of Three Kingdoms, which is an important literary masterpiece in the ancient history of China. The Romance of the Three Kingdoms was written by Luo Guanzhong at the end of Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of Ming Dynasty on the basis of Chen Shou's History of the Three Kingdoms, Ye Fan's History of the Later Han Dynasty and the History of the Three Kingdoms in Yuan Dynasty. It records the major historical events and activities of historical figures in the past 90 years, shows the historical picture of the rise and fall of the Three Kingdoms, vividly reproduces this changeable and turbulent historical era, vividly reveals the intrigue, intrigue and collusion within the ruling group, and shows readers a wonderful and magnificent historical picture.
Among them, narrow-minded Xian Di, Zhou Yu, Lu Su, brave Zhang Fei, upright Guan Yu, Liu Bei, etc. are all extremely embarrassed. These characters gave me a deep education. Aside from these characters, what impressed me most was the heroes described in this book.
Let's start with Guan Yu. He refused to send Cao into Han, took a candle to Dan, rode a thousand miles alone, passed five customs and killed six generals, and the ancient city was beheaded. Later, Huarong Road released Cao Cao. He was loyal to his old master and surrendered to the enemy because of defeat, but as soon as he learned the news of his old master, he didn't know how far Wan Li was. I think coming back after defeating the enemy is not only loyalty, but also a rare loyalty. The method of expressing Guan Yu in Romance of the Three Kingdoms is also very simple: "The phoenix eye, the silkworm eyebrow, the face like a heavy jujube, the dragon crescent moon knife", and later added "the red rabbit horse", scraping the bone to cure poison without fear of pain, chopping Yan Liang and killing Wen Chou, almost becoming invincible in the world.
The rule of the country needs loyal ministers, and needs a loyal minister who can devote himself to death. This is Zhuge Liang. He is also my favorite character. Zhuge Liang is well versed in astronomy and geography, capable of writing and martial arts, and resourceful all his life. He set fire to a new field, borrowed the east wind, borrowed the arrow of a grass boat, inspired Zhou Yu with three wonders, cleverly put out an eight-array plan, cursed Wang Lang for death, captured Meng Huo seven times, set off an empty city plan, used seven-star lights, returned Sima Yi with a puppet, and killed Wei Yan with one move, which were unexpected by ordinary people. I thought this kind of person should look extraordinary, but the description in the book is simple: he is eight feet long, with a jade face and a black silk scarf. He has a unique personality. He chose the path of life and the main things. He was loyal to Liu Bei and Shu Han, and finally devoted himself to the great cause of reunification. "When he was defeated, he was ordered to take risks." With the tragedy of the decline of Shu Han, he also became a tragic figure!
Let's talk about Cao Cao. Cao Cao was called a traitor in The Romance of the Three Kingdoms. He said that Liu Bei and he were contemporary heroes, which made Liu Bei afraid to listen, but he didn't kill Liu Bei, although Liu Bei was just a turtle in a jar. This made me feel Cao Cao's generosity, which Zhou Yu never dreamed of. Zhou Yu only sees Zhuge Liang, not swearing. As long as Zhuge Liang is killed, the world in Soochow will be peaceful. Later, I found out that Liu Bei was not an ordinary person, so I wanted to kill Liu Bei, at least leave him in Soochow, where the world was at peace. Short-sighted, narrow-minded, not a hero. This is also in sharp contrast with Cao Cao.
There is also the savior of Zhao Zilong Changbanpo riding alone, and Huang Gai was punished with risks and so on
In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, we can also see that political groups are at loggerheads for their own immediate interests today, but tomorrow they will raise their glasses to celebrate each other. And this kind of struggle permeates many aspects of life, even family, friends, marriage and so on. Without exception, they are involved in the whirlpool of struggle and even become tools of struggle. In order to satisfy their desire for rights and property, and to keep themselves from being destroyed in fierce battles, they always play with various means and stage scenes of intrigue and intrigue.
There is no compensation for this kind of scheming. Merchants rack their brains to earn money from consumers; Liars cheat others of their property by hook or by crook. People can see how greed and lust for power dominate the relationship between brothers, couples and friends in society. People even try their best to steal and kill for money. Therefore, treacherous, cunning and scheming people will certainly become leaders of power. However, the heart needs a centerless machine to start. How can the world be peaceful if everyone is so cunning?
In a word, The Romance of the Three Kingdoms not only gives people the pleasure of reading and historical enlightenment, but also is a heroic epic for those who want to rule the world. Because of this, the Romance of the Three Kingdoms is permeated with profound historical feelings and strong reflection in its majestic and tragic style.
Romance of the Three Kingdoms describes the situation in the Three Kingdoms period. Since Dong Zhuo was killed, the whole court has been in chaos, and everyone is striving to be emperor. In order to restore the Han Dynasty, Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei invited Zhuge Liang. With the help of Zhuge Liang, they successively captured Jingzhou, Nanjun and Xiangyang. Sun Quan was bent on getting Jingzhou, so he tried his best to grab it. Zhuge Liang saw through one plan after another, so that Sun Quan lost his wife and general Zhou Yu and lost the battle. But it didn't last long. Soon Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were all killed by Cao Cao, and soon Zhuge Liang died. At this time, the territory has been occupied by 8 Jin Army.
I think: Liu Bei is ambitious and quick to act. As long as he finds his goal, he will devote himself wholeheartedly, not afraid of any difficulties and obstacles, and will certainly achieve it. I think of China's "Prince of gymnastics" Li Ning. Speaking of Li Ning, people always say that he is an extraordinary person, but Li Ning knows very well that he is just an ordinary person who never wavers after determining his direction. He believes that with perseverance and sweat, mentality and adaptability, whatever you do can be successful! After retiring, Li Ning turned to a new career: establishing Li Ning Sporting Goods Co., Ltd. Someone asked Li Ning, "Which is more relaxing and enjoyable, business or sports?" Li Ning said: "Nothing is easy to do well, but I am always happy." Yes, Li Ning always keeps a happy mood wherever he is.
In Romance of the Three Kingdoms, I want to learn from Guan Yu's bravery. Zhuge Liang's wit, I should learn; Liu Bei's goal is not to give up, I want to study more!
4. Reading Notes of A Dream of Red Mansions
Reading A Dream of Red Mansions presents us with a bustling world of characters, and it is these characters that move us most. We were deeply impressed by Jia Baoyu, Lin Daiyu, Guo Baochai, Wang Xifeng and even Granny Liu, but after watching Dream of Red Mansions, other characters made me feel different, and something new was distributed among them.
A Dream of Red Mansions describes such a person as "bright and charming, some like Baochai's charm, some like Daiyu's real name and beauty", and her combination of Baochai's and Daiyu's "good amorous feelings and good moonlight" is the root of her failure. This person is the most beautiful woman in A Dream of Red Mansions-Qin Keqing and Qin Keqing have their own. " The fake white jade is a golden horse "and" has a pair of rich eyes from top to bottom ",so her status is not as reliable as that of" Lian Er Grandma "of Xifeng. Although her beauty added luster to her and made her ascend to the throne, there is no guarantee that she will not be discriminated against. However, instead of being abused and discriminated against, she became the "first pride" among Jia Ceng's granddaughters-in-law. She not only "catches beauty", but also "can act", which proves how strong she is in Jia's family, that is, in a social environment, in acting and seeing the eyes. At this time, I can't think of Lin Daiyu and Guo Baochai. Why did they have such a love tragedy later? Baoyu wanted to take a nap, so Jia asked the page to coax him to play once. At the banquet in Ningfu, Baoyu met Qin Zhong, and they went to the back kang to chat. Qin came in and said to Baoyu, "Uncle Bao, if you don't bow your head, you must look at me." The Jia family was afraid that Qin Zhong's words would ruin Baoyu's happiness, and that Qin was seriously ill, and they also moved a large group of doctors. "Every day, three or four people fall in turn, and there are four or five." For fear that in case of improper manners and people's criticism, it is not difficult to see that Qin Keqing is careless and strong, but her carefulness and strength also show that she only asks people not to offend, not to praise or criticize, so as to win people's favor.
Qin Keqing said so many advantages and actions, but her final result was to hang herself. Why this happens is also a question worth pondering and discussing. When Qin entered Jia Fu, Jia Zhen coveted her for a long time, and Qin's position was tied up with the favor of Jia Zhen and his wife. Faced with this situation, Jia Zhen threatened that she was helpless, either forced by death or committed to obedience. Her prudence made her know everything around her like the back of her hand, and she became stronger, which made her feel terrible. This made her feel heavy and unwilling to fall into the hands of Jia Rong and his son until she hanged herself.
Qin Keqing is not an adulteress full of passion and desire. She is a calculating, capable and feudal "shrewd" woman. She hanged herself in shame, reflecting the mental pain that she could not get rid of this bad luck. Her ending shows another tragic fate in A Dream of Red Mansions.
Such a woman can be said to be a master in a Dream of Red Mansions. Besides all kinds of dignitaries, there are also many maids who are graded. The most important thing in the Jia family is Yuanyang, who is the ancestor of the Jia family and the "emperor's father". Jia's personal servant girl is a powerful force that Jia can't leave for a while. No matter big or small, she is considerate and handles it properly. It is this special position and identity that makes her the king of many maids in the Jia family. So grandma commented, "Yuanyang is a little cautious and has some ideas about my affairs." She can come whenever she wants; She will tell them what to add when she is free. " Yuanyang is also a kind-hearted person. She doesn't rely on Jia's strength to bully others, but she often helps others solve problems. Although she is weak in appearance, she is a strong-willed and ambitious woman. We all know that Jia She threatened her to be a little wife by using both hard and soft methods. Mrs. Xing said, "Among the girls, you are the first; It seems that the behavior is decent, gentle and reliable. " In their view, this is noble and decent. I don't want to be firmly rejected by her. Rachel's sister-in-law was scolded by her. Pinger xiren, a prospective menstruation, played a joke on her and made her steal a meal. She said, "Don't ask me to be a little wife. Even if the first wife is dead now, I can't go if I am asked to be a big wife!" " ..... When the chips are down, I'll cut my hair and be my sister-in-law, otherwise, there will be another one. In front of the old lady, I cried and scolded, "I am horizontal." If I were in front of everyone, I'd be ruined if I didn't marry Baoyu, that is, Jinbao, Yin Bao, Baowang and Baodi! Even if the old lady forced me to die with a knife, I couldn't do it! " So determined, so strong-willed, I can't help but admire such a woman from the heart, relying on Jia. Although Yuanyang temporarily lost Jia's forgiveness, after Jia's death, wouldn't it be another good piece of meat? So, she must be lacking in the heart of death, and finally her grandmother died. How can she not die like a martyr
Many characters in A Dream of Red Mansions left a deep impression on me, but this is also a theme that the author wants to express. He didn't say it clearly, but through the vivid expression of hundreds of characters' hearts, languages, movements and psychological activities, a huge and prosperous aristocratic family and the disintegration of this family, it is not difficult to see the corruption and incompetence of feudal capitalists and the darkness and impermanence of feudal society. As Lin Daiyu said. Jia Baoyu and ............................... are such a "rebel". Their love is fruitless and even sad, but they represent a new life and a new faction representative who dares to fight against the die-hard forces. We Dujiangyan people know Lin Daiyu's tears, but we also know that she is so mean, and others laugh at her and dig at her. We also know that Jia Baoyu is "down and out, ignorant, afraid to read articles, and his behavior is remote and perverse." The image of dude, their vivid characters also let the darkness have a glimmer of light, let us see hope!
5. Reflections on War and Peace
Recently, I read a book about/kloc-0. At the beginning of the 9th century, history set off great waves in Russia. Napoleon, invincible in Europe, began to point his conquest target here, and a cruel war broke out.
In this era, Russia is still in a czar-ruled society. Although there were no major natural disasters in the country, Napoleon's invasion made this beautiful land full of wars everywhere.
The book I read is the greatest work written by lev tolstoy in this historical background-War and Peace. This book is huge, and Tolstoy spent seven or eight years to complete it. There are more than 500 characters in the story, and each character has a distinct personality; From bloody battles, kings' meetings, nobles' birthdays, funerals, dances, hunting to farmers' lives, almost all political and social events in Russia in the early19th century were described.
The book Napoleon's War is the center of this book. But what Tolstoy wants to write is not the war itself, but the suffering brought by the war to the victims.
Although there are many historical figures such as Napoleon and Alexander in the book, they are not the protagonists; Those young people, such as Natasha, Nikolai and Andre, are the main characters.
These young people are still very young, but they stand up for the motherland and grow up slowly in the war of more than ten years to become knowledgeable adults. This is what moved me most in the book.
I learned a lot from this book, for example, when writing, I should give the characters a distinct personality and life, and write the characters vividly. There is also writing, highlighting the center of the article. Above all, if the country is in crisis, stand up like those young people.
