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.
Reflections on A Dream of Red Mansions
I felt sour when I read the Red Chamber. I don't know why. Is it for the ruin of the second mansion in Rongning, or for the fragrance of Pink Lady, or for the reputation of speculators? There seems to be a little bit of each. But I always feel that it is not all. From a man's point of view, I was suddenly enlightened. This is jealousy. I feel jealous of Baoyu. It's really embarrassing to say, but several men have seen a wan ku.
Speaking of it, there are countless love stories in a dream of red mansions. The first thing to push is Baodai's infatuation with red powder. In a dream of red mansions, the love between these two people is the purest. Growing up, falling in love when you grow up. Zuo Zongtang simply points out the way and makes readers feel that another love story has been born in the world. Its appearance is so natural that few people doubt it. There is no stain. But untimely love is synonymous with pain. Daiyu's unique rebellious and withdrawn character and disdain for the secular make her stand out from the crowd everywhere. She read the romance of the West Chamber before spending time, without any taboo. I don't like rhetoric, and I will do what I say; Advocating the truth, indifferent to fame and fortune ... all these make her like a lotus, always clinging to her purity, purity and cleanliness, as clear as jasper. Looking at her from the perspective of an ordinary person, what I appreciate most is Dai Yu's poetic and delicate wit. Dai Yu often opposes her sisters drinking, enjoying flowers and reciting poems. She is always very talented and artistic. Or the desolation of plants and the return of wild geese to the south, the tenderness of flowers can solve the affair of language; All these reflect her elegance and refinement as a poet. What makes people sigh most is that Daiyu is sentimental and unlucky. Daiyu's life is doomed to be lonely and helpless, and her character is doomed to be lonely and sad. Even though people come and go in the Grand View Garden, there is no relative she can rely on, no confidant she can confide in, and only the romantic and affectionate Baoyu makes her secretly promise, but she is always worried about being swayed by considerations of gain and loss. So she was helpless. Where there is a fragrant hill, it is sad that "the fragrant nest has been built in March, and the swallow nest between the beams is heartless", and it is sad that "flowers are flying all over the sky, and the red fragrance is pitiless", and finally it ends in a sad ending of "a wisp of fragrant soul scattered with the wind and never dreamed at night".
Lin Daiyu's position in Jiafu and her own cowardice are not so much the cause of the tragedy, but rather the ruthless killing of the love between Baoyu and Daiyu in the feudal society headed by Yuan Chun. If a dream of red mansions is really a description of Cao Xueqin's personal experience, then I can feel the pain of a man losing his beloved. The fire of hell burns around me and makes my mind stagnate. This is not the pain of flesh and blood, but the love of blood.
What's more, it is the love tragedy of Xue Baochai. It is still so sad to see Daiyu's tragic death. But after reading it, when I heard Zhen talking about "Gui Lan", I couldn't help feeling sad. People like Li Wan and Xue Baochai will be buried in this cold garden all their lives, facing a man who doesn't love himself at all, regardless of his good or bad marriage and what she really needs. It's grandma Bao's throne. But I can't help asking, are there really lonely women in the world? I always thought she was a cold and selfish person. But now, I can't help feeling sorry for her. Actually, if you think about it carefully, her tragedy may be more tragic than Lin Daiyu's. What she needs most is not the irrigation of love, but freedom Xue Baochai's family is rich and she has read many poems since she was a child. She received a very comprehensive and orthodox education. General Jia praised her as "quiet and generous". Yes, this is the way she was educated since childhood, and it is also the virtue that ancient women should have. Even sadness and joy should not be shaped by color, otherwise it is "disrespect." Throughout the book, her behavior almost never goes beyond these constraints. Only once did Baoyu compare her to Yang Fei, which made her very angry. But this is just a cold irony of the past. In fact, she is the most sad person. She has been influenced by other people's opinions and education all her life. She never knows what she wants, and she is unhappy and unhappy. She just follows the path of nature. She has never been loved wholeheartedly, and she dare not pursue love bravely. No one really cares about her. And she thinks the world is like this. She thinks there are problems between husband and wife.
In fact, what she did was not a free choice. She is just a typical submissive. She is smart and talented, but she was educated that it is useless for women to study. Xiangling and Xiangyun talked about poetry. She said, "A girl's family talks about serious things with poetry, so that learned people can listen to it and laugh at her for not keeping her duties." She is also familiar with drama and traditional Chinese opera, but she thinks that these obscene words and clever sentences can't be known to dignified ladies, so she gently criticized Baoqin's poems. She wants to have a better life like anyone else, but when her mother married Baoyu for the power of the Jia family, she had to accept it with tears because her mother told her that she had promised. Until Baoyu finally became a monk, her tragedy reached a climax. Even so, she still can't let her nature do it. Lady Wang said, "Baochai cried, but he didn't leave at all, but he advised me." Think of Baochai, such a character and so young. At this moment, I thought about how my life would end. Her pain is not actually under the burning manuscript of Daiyu! But she can only restrain herself. This is her "respect"!
After reading the water margin, the biggest feeling is that the hero in the book is bold, generous and generous. Let's talk about the seven heroes who outwit the birth class. It is the beginning of the vigorous career of Liangshan heroes to outwit the birth program. This heroic feat caused a sensation in the Jianghu of Shuihu World. But what is the real motive behind the case of Chao Gai and his gang? To rob the rich and help the poor? Or prepare for the "peasant revolution"? Obviously not. "On Huangnigang, this group of heroes robbed100000 golden balls, and then they probably divided the spoils. Chao Gai and Wu Yong returned to Chao Zhuang, and Sanruan got the money and returned. "Later, I didn't hear that they had plans to help the poor, and I didn't see them raising flags to rebel (or uprising). If it is not caught, they will not be really safe and happy. Therefore, this big case, of course, robbed ill-gotten gains, but its essence is, after all, a triad action.
Look at the scene of the Yuanyang murder upstairs. After beating a dozen people, Song Wu fell in a pool of blood. He calmly put the silver wine container on the table flat and took it away in his arms. Even if Li Kui jy and other extremely careless characters killed the fake Li Kui jy in Yiling, they didn't forget to search the room. "I found some scattered silverware and some hairpin rings" and took them all away. Although Li Kui jy is extremely tired of women's looks, he also knows that these feminine hairpin rings can be used to exchange money and wine. Then, I went to Gui Li's side and found the small silver that Yuanbao had been cheated out of. In this matter, the black whirlwind is also careful enough.
People die for money, birds eat for food, both ancient and modern. Just to do one thing, you have to have a flag, which should conform to the so-called human civilization! The water margin, good is written really! Which revolution in history didn't start with the impossibility of survival? Food is the most important thing for people. Revolutionary revolution, to put it bluntly, is a bad fate in the reality of reform. The characters in the Water Margin are ordinary people, and like the people around us, what they do is easy to understand!
Needless to say, Sung River and Chai Jin Jr. are both charitable, and they also have beautiful drunken fists and Wu Yong's resourcefulness. Just say that the naive Li Kui jy is quite wild, and he is a reckless plowman and has no job. He always gets angry easily, doesn't ask anything indiscriminately, and always scolds and beats. As a result, he either lost or regretted it, but there are "wealth can't be lewd, poverty can't be moved, and power can't be bent."
I think, if I let him come to my side, I believe not many people can have his charm. This is not because of his appearance, nor because he is tall, nor because he has a lot of wealth, but one thing is that he has an advantage in others' eyes. Please don't underestimate his advantage of sesame seeds, which will be extinct in this world.
I always feel that we have less affection and friendship for friends and even relatives in life.
I clearly remember that when I was babbling, I often went to my neighbor's house for dinner without scruple. No manners, no constraints, only joy. My neighbor's sister and I are as good as ever. When I cried that I couldn't go to kindergarten, we often chatted with our neighbors, but we started to install wooden doors.
Now, when I know that I am fighting for the future, my door has become a three-centimeter-thick security door. Like a river, it separates us from our neighbors. As the Book of Rites said: "Today's avenue is hidden, and the world is home. Everyone is like relatives, every son is his son, and the goods are his own. "
Our society naturally lacks a kind of love, a very important kind of love-a kind of care. For caring, perhaps just a simple greeting or a knowing smile can make people smile and feel the care of maternal love. Don't be too stingy. A greeting and a smile will not make you lose anything, but will only sublimate your personality.
This is an era of heroes, but in the world of war, it has triggered one thrilling story after another!
That's what Luo Guanzhong wrote ―― Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
Romance of the Three Kingdoms is rich in content and idioms. Although it seems troublesome, it can really help us understand the author's artistic talent. The main contents of this book are about Zhang Jiao, Sean, Zhang Bao Yellow Scarf Uprising, Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, who became sworn friends in Taoyuan, and what happened in them. I really benefited from reading this book. Look, Zhuge Liang's appearance makes the Three Kingdoms more meaningful, really.
I have always believed that without Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei could not establish Shu, and Zhuge Liang's talent is unfathomable. He is considerate and doesn't talk about personal matters. He likes to attack with fire best. I think Zhuge Liang's correct attitude in the dragon, taking advantage of the east wind, writing a model, going to Qishan six times, saving Meng Huo seven times and outsmarting Sima Yi all reflect Zhuge Liang's wit and talent. It is for this reason that I deeply admire this gentleman.
In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, we can also see that political groups are at loggerheads today for their own vital interests, but tomorrow they raise their glasses to celebrate each other. Moreover, this kind of struggle permeates all aspects of life, and even family and friends are involved in the whirlpool of struggle without exception, and even become tools of struggle. In order to satisfy their rights and property desires, they always play with various means and perform in order not to be eliminated in the fierce battle.
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.
Thoughts on Reading Romance of the Three Kingdoms
This winter vacation, my mother bought me a colorful Romance of the Three Kingdoms. The content of this book is really wonderful. After reading it three times in a row, I still feel unsatisfied. Now, as long as you point out any illustration in the book, I can immediately tell which war it is about or which hero it is about.
The characters in this book are lifelike and the story is vivid. Zhuge Liang, Zhou Yu, sinister Dong Zhuo, Cao Cao, heroic Guan Yu and Zhao Yun are all predictable. Among them, Zhuge Liang is my favorite and most admired figure. Although Zhou Yu was as clever and resourceful as Zhuge Liang, he was narrow-minded and embarrassed Zhuge Liang everywhere, and tried his best to harm him within three days. If you can't finish the task, you will be dealt with according to military law. Zhuge Liang, on the other hand, put national affairs first, took care of the overall situation and dealt with it calmly. He not only cleverly avoided Zhou Yu's unprovoked injury, but also successfully completed the task. He is a true and intelligent great man.
After reading this book, I understand that people should be open-minded and do things with the overall situation in mind. Only in this way can I achieve great things and become a pillar of the country.
