A forest, a land and a blue sky, what a wonderful world it is. When human beings live in this world, great changes have taken place in the world: a hut, a village, a town … a pace, a bicycle, a car … I wonder if the world is progressing or deteriorating? I wonder if what people create is satisfied with their minds. What is the pursuit of the human heart? When you are poor, you pursue wealth; When you are in turmoil, you pursue stability. Nowadays, in this era, high-rise buildings have sprung up in busy towns, and people in busy streets are building social development. Such a scene should be in line with the pursuit of human beings, but urban people who have experienced rural life have begun to yearn for the rural environment. This seems a bit contradictory, from backward rural areas to developing towns, and from developing towns to backward rural areas.
"Border Town" shows us such a picture: "There is a small white tower beside a stream, and a family lives under it. There is only an old man, a girl and a yellow dog in this family. A small stream flows down the river, around the mountain, and flows into the tea cave river for about three miles. If people cross the stream and climb the hill, they will reach the edge of Tea Cave City within a mile. The stream is like a bow, and the mountain road is like a bowstring. There is a slight difference between distance and distance. This stream is about 20 feet wide, and the riverbed is made of big stones. Even if the quiet water is too deep to bottom, it is still clear and transparent, and the fish in the middle reaches of the river can be counted. " Nowadays, although the material construction of cities and towns seems to be developing rapidly, there is another kind of destruction behind the construction. Just like the natural environment, it is polluted like this: trees are cut down, the air is dry, the noise is constant and garbage is piled up. Such an environment has severely depressed people's body and mind. Therefore, people are so longing for the quiet and comfortable living space in the countryside. Perhaps this is also the thinking of the author of Border Town.
In today's era, the relationship between people seems so strange and utilitarian. For their own interests, everyone seems to be involved in the trend of fighting each other. While the architectural space is getting narrower and narrower, people's hearts are also narrow; In today's convenient transportation, the way of communication between people is so convenient, but the communication between people is so difficult. A wall not only isolates the living place between people, but also isolates the spiritual communication between people; A security door seems to avoid the intrusion of outsiders, but it also imprisons its contact with the outside world.
In Border Town, we can see people's simple, frugal, friendly and peaceful scenes. "The person who manages this ferry is an old man who lives under the tower. I lived for seventy years, and I have been staying by this stream since I was twenty. I don't know how many years have passed in these fifty years. Although he is so old, he should rest, but the sky doesn't allow him to rest. It seems that he can't live without this life. He never considered the significance of his position to himself, but lived there quietly and faithfully. " When writing about the hero Cui Cui, it is like this: "Nature has nurtured her and educated her, so it is innocent and lively, and looks like a small animal everywhere. People are so good, like deer on the mountain, never think about things, never worry, never get angry. Usually, when strangers pay attention to her on the ferry, they look at strangers with bare eyes and make it look like they can escape into the mountains at any time, but after understanding people's inorganic heart, they play leisurely by the water. " When writing about the smooth operation of the water terminal, the article said: "This generous and free-spirited person, although his career is smooth, is generous and able to help others because he is willing to make friends, ... understands the hardships of outsiders and the feelings of frustrated people ... but he is so impartial and selfless ... both upright and peaceful, and does not love money." When it comes to these two young people, it is so popular: "strong as an ox ... bold and open-minded, unconventional ... be kind to relatives, not arrogant and lazy, flashy." What is even more amazing is that the puppy is very clever and sensible: "Sometimes I am on the boat with my grandfather's yellow dog, and I will work with my grandfather during the transition." When the boat is approaching the shore, my grandfather is greeting the guests:' Slow down, slow down', and the yellow dog will jump up first, as if he knows how to do his duty and hold the boat rope tightly to the shore. "
Beauty is always sad. The author of Border Town shows us a beautiful and harmonious picture of man and nature, but at the same time shows a helpless and confused face facing the tragic fate of life.
It was supposed to be a wonderful family. After her mother and father died together, Cui Cui lived with her grandfather since childhood, and their loneliness and sadness came to her mind from time to time. "When dusk came, Cui Cui sat under the white tower behind her house, watching the sky burn into pink clouds by sunset." "Listening to the messy voice of businessmen from the ferry, my heart was a little thin and desolate." When the sun rises, he feels the power of life. When the sun went down, he didn't think it was the girl who died with the sun. His only friends are the ferryman and the yellow dog, and his only family is the girl. Among them, we also see that, unfortunately, as a "water duck", the old man drowned in the water; Let Cui Cui's parents fly away from home; Grandpa, who lived with Cui Cui day and night, passed away quietly on that thunderous night ... All this depressed Cui Cui's young mind like a boulder. At the end of Border Town, the author wants to ignite Cui Cui's temporary hope through his parents' "maybe coming back tomorrow". But "this person may never come back" did not give her infinite confusion and confusion. A soul who has suffered the tragic fate of life since childhood wanted to find a home of love and redemption, but it never came true. Isn't this the portrayal of many people?
These thoughts revealed by Shen Congwen, the author of Border Town, inadvertently coincide with Taoist thoughts.
Having said that, it also reminds me of two sentences, as the end:
"If our hearts don't rest in your arms, there will be no peace." -Augustine
I tell you these things so that you may have peace in me. In this world, you have suffering; But don't worry, I won the world. "-oh, my god
Entomology souvenir
After reading Insects, I was fascinated by this book. It turns out that there are so many mysteries in the insect world. I know: how cicadas shed their shells in the morning; Dung beetles belongs to me how to roll a dung ball; How ants eat aphid secretions. It is also clear that "the son of a moth" is wrong. Bees catch caterpillars not as their own sons, but to arrange food for future generations.
The first time I read Insects, it somehow attracted me. This is a popular science book describing the birth, labor, hunting and death of insects. The text is plain, fresh and natural. Humorous narration makes people laugh ... humanized bugs appear, what a strange and interesting story! Fabres's Insect Story makes me feel like a dream. Those specific and detailed words make me feel the presence of magnifying glasses, humidity, stars and insect smells from time to time, as if I were there. The figures of those insects that I neglected for too long, and their arrogant chirping, suddenly gathered together, and I held my breath. Then, with them, I penetrated the darkness inside. It was Fabres who showed me that insects are strikingly similar to us on many issues, such as life and death, labor and plunder. Entomology is not a world created by writers, it is different from novels, they are the most basic facts! It is the loneliness and hardship of Fabres's life every day and every night. It is lonely, quiet and almost isolated from the world. I looked up. At this moment, I really want to look up and treat the mystery of insects like a starry sky. It made me enter a vivid insect world for the first time.
So, I continued to read Insects.
Then look down, Insect Story is an interesting story: "Mantis is a very fierce animal, but in its early life, it will also be sacrificed by the smallest ant." Spiders weave webs. "Even with tools like compasses and rulers, no designer can draw a more standard web page." Rich stories made me think. Watching, these bugs gradually became clear. I thought: If we protect the environment and don't pollute it, will these bugs still exist? Now the environment is deteriorating, will it happen again in the future? I carefully thought about the relationship between them, and this reading, Insect Story opened a brand-new door for me.
When I continued reading Insects, I saw Fabres observing the caterpillar's progress in detail. I saw him catching wasps regardless of the danger. I saw him boldly assuming, carefully experimenting, and repeatedly scrutinizing the experimental process and data, and gradually inferring the action time and effect of the high-nose bee venom needle, the predation process of fireflies, the methods of catching flies and bees to deal with their prey, and the long-distance contact of peacock moths ... An experiment failed, and he collected data, reasons and reasons. Rigorous experimental methods, bold questioning spirit and diligent style. This time, I felt the "scientific spirit" and its profound connotation.
Fabres, an entomologist, cared for insects with human nature, and painstakingly wrote his masterpiece Insects, leaving a treasure house of essays full of knowledge, interest, beauty and thought. His writing is lively, his tone is relaxed and humorous, and he is full of interest. In the author's pen, Liu Yejia looks like a miser, and looks like &; Uot is short of cloth &; Uot short dovetail dress; Uot, a small beetle, has made selfless dedication and broken heart for future generations &; uot; And the little sparrow bitten by a poisonous spider will also &; Uot eats happily, and if we feed him slowly, he will even cry like a baby &; uot。 What a lovely elf! No wonder Lu Xun regarded insects as&; Uot talks about insect life &; Uot, an example.
I admire Fabres's spirit of exploring nature, which makes me feel that insects are closely related to the environment, and also makes me feel the author's originality and subtle observation. Entomology has broadened my horizons, made me look at the problem from a different angle, and made me understand the problem more deeply than before. I think The Insect Story is a good book worth reading all my life. I think anyone who reads Insect Tales carefully will know more.
Thoughts on Reading A Dream of Red Mansions
One is Xianpa in Yuen Long, and the other is flawless jade. If there is no strange fate, I will meet him again in my life. If there is a strange fate, how can my mind be empty? One is crying in vain, and the other is worrying about nothing. One is the moon in the water, and the other is the flower in the mirror. I wonder how many tears there are in my eyes, how can autumn flow to the end of winter and how can spring flow to summer! -"Vanity Eyebrows"
A Dream of Red Mansions is a tragedy with a smile. A Dream of Red Mansions not only describes the life of three generations of a feudal aristocratic family from glory to decline, but also boldly accuses the feudal aristocratic class of peace and depravity, pointing out their hypocrisy, fraud, greed, decay and sin. It not only points out the inevitable collapse and death of this family, but also implies the inevitable collapse and death of the class and society to which this family belongs. The heroes created and loved by Cao Xueqin's brushwork are two ministers and traitors who dare to judge the dying feudal aristocracy; Those who sympathize and mourn are the victims under the feudal system; What is criticized and denied is the hypocritical morality and unreasonable social system in feudal society. On the one hand, it was the former wood and stone alliance, on the other hand, it was a golden wedding. On the one hand, it is the aura of fame and fortune that feudal society must pursue, on the other hand, it is a fascinating body. A Dream of Red Mansions written by Cao Xueqin shows us this silent contest. The tragic love story of Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu condensed all the smoke in this contest. "One is Xianpa in Yuen Long, and the other is flawless jade", and "the quality is clean and neat". In the face of all kinds of indifference under feudal ethics, even at the cost of life, the pursuit of quality and purity never gave up. While lamenting the love tragedy between Jia and Lin, we can see an important factor that caused the tragedy: Lin Daiyu's lofty personality was incompatible with the secular world at that time and could not be "integrated" with society. Her inferiority complex is the embodiment of her self-esteem and the beginning of her tragedy.
In A Dream of Red Mansions, she buries flowers, which is the focus of her personality. Her inferiority, self-esteem and self-pity are fully revealed in her "mourning poems": "Flowers wither, flowers fly all over the sky, and the fragrance dies. Who has pity for the fragrance?" "Three hundred and sixty days a year, the wind knife frost sword pressure, bright and bright, a wandering is hard to find. Flowers bloom easily, but they fall hard to find. I am worried about burying people in front of the steps, stealing flowers and crying alone, and spilling blood on the branches. " "May Nong have wings this day and fly to the end of the day with flowers. The day is over! Where is Xiangshan? Without a trick, I hid my love with a pure land. It's better to be clean than trapped in a ditch. I am going to die and be buried, but I don't know when Nong will die. The man who buried the flowers is laughing today, but who did he know when he buried them? Let's see the residual flowers of spring gradually falling, which is the time when beauty dies of old age. If you don't mourn for me, I don't know that flowers will fall and people will die. "
A secular person can't understand her thoughts. "I am dead and buried, but when will I die?" The man who buried the flowers is laughing today. Who did he know when he buried them? "In the face of falling flowers, she thought of the scene after her death, and she couldn't let go and shed tears. In front of feudal ethics, her inferiority aroused her self-esteem. When Baoyu was beaten, it was difficult for a clever woman to send Dan medicine to Xue Baochai, who had no rice to cook, and she also advised Baoyu to change his ways with admonition. As a supporter of Baoyu, a rebel of feudal ethics, Lin Daiyu, who is kind and aloof, just cried blindly and turned her eyes to peach blossoms. Her crying is not weak. With her own unique emotional experience of crying, she sincerely supported Baoyu and silently opposed feudal ethics, which is why they have a mutual affinity and love recently.
"Quiet as a flower shines on the water, moving like a weak willow, the heart is dry, and the disease is as good as Xizi wins three points." Through Jia Baoyu's eyes, the author depicts a morbid beauty that is intelligent, versatile, beautiful and weak. Such a weak woman ignores the secular traditional laws and does the opposite. After countless times of destruction, when the end of life came, the ferocious face of feudal society accelerated her death. After reading A Dream of Red Mansions, we will never forget the scene before Daiyu died. When she was dying, Zijuan asked for help everywhere, but no one wanted to help. The old lady moved Baoyu's marriage to another place to avoid disaster. On the one hand, it is a festive scene of marriage, on the other hand, it is a sadness before death. "The day is over! Where is Xiangshan? " No wonder Daiyu buried flowers and kept chanting. Where is a clean and ideal place, and where is my own ideal place, Xiang Qiu? The real society I live in now is filthy. I want to find my ideal place, and Daiyu will never give up her pursuit until she dies. We are both worried and resentful about it. Under the shackles of feudalism, a pair of young men and women who are pursuing it are writing Where Are You Going? "Don't mourn for me, I don't know if the flowers fall and people die!" In this way, Daiyu died in the sound of Baoyu's wedding drums. Left with her sweetness. Where is the sweetness? Sweetness gains understanding and love in a world where one person does not accept the world and the world does not accept people. In the lonely world, Baoyu is the eternal warmth in her heart. In this world where love is nowhere to be found, Baoyu is the eternal pain in her heart. Although in the end she became a victim of those feudal systems.
"It's true when it's fake, it's really fake, and there's no way." The fake is true, which makes people wonder everything in A Dream of Red Mansions. As a soul figure, Lin Daiyu is different from ordinary people. She is her, a bunch of lofty, aloof and narcissistic empty valleys. Lin Daiyu's inferiority complex was given by fate, and she also wrote about her fate.
Notes on Water Margin (1)-Drunk 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.
Notes on Water Margin (II) —— Four Tigers 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.
Notes on the Water Margin (III) —— Resentful Lion House
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!
Reading Notes of Water Margin (IV) —— Knife Bianjing City
Yang has no money, so he has to go to another country to earn some money to make a living. Unexpectedly, when using a knife, there are two kinds of local ruffians. Yang Zhi had no choice but to kill Niu Er and then go to the newspaper office. Finally, he was sentenced to banishment to Daming House.
The most interesting scene is that of Yang Zhidao. First, I asked who had a knife. After Niu Er came, I asked him to try this knife. Niu tried every means to obstruct peace 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.
Notes on Water Margin (V) —— Poems of Xunyang Tower
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.
Thoughts on Reading Eugenie Grandet
A flower's life is short, and a flower without pistil is even shorter-Du Mingqiong's main character: Grandet, an old man, a collaborator of Sommer City, and later became a millionaire. Eugenie Grandet-Grandet's daughter. Charlie Grandet's nephew, Eugénie's lover. The story tells about Grandet's family background and his crazy love for money. Some people commented that this image is extremely vivid and has become one of the four miser images in the history of world literature. Grandet's meanness and obsession with money can be seen everywhere in the book: "As for the servant Nanon, her salary is only 60 francs a year. She worked hard at Grandet's house for 30 years. It was not until the 20th year that Grandet made up her mind to give her an old watch, which was the only gift she got. Poor Nanon always sleeps barefoot in rags in a dark room under the aisle. " For the sake of 20 years' work, it seems like a decision to kill him, drink his blood and pull his muscles-give Nanon an old watch. In addition to these, Grandet is also very stingy with relatives: "Although Grandet's family is rich, his expenses are very economical. He never eats meat, vegetables and fruits, which are brought in by the tenants. He saved everything, including his movements. Every meal of food, every day of candles, he always personally quantitative distribution; Every year 1 1 a room is lit at the beginning of the month, and it will be closed on March 3 1, regardless of whether it is cold in spring and autumn; His allowance to his wife does not exceed 6 francs at a time; Over the years, the total amount of his daughter's dowry is only five or six hundred francs; " "I don't feel that the New Year is coming. Grandet asked her daughter to take out all her gold coins as usual, but Eugénie had to say that the gold coins were gone. When my father heard this, he flew into a rage. He guessed that she had given the gold coin to Charlie, cursed the girl, and decided to put her in a cage and give her only cold water and bread. " At this moment, Grandet learned that his daughter had given his gold coin to Charlie. His love for money overwhelmed his family, and he sent his daughter to the attic, where she lived a life of hell. "10 In June, Mrs. Grandet died peacefully. Before his wife's bones were cold, Grandet invited Ke Luo Xu to ask Eugénie to sign the property contract and give up the registration. All the property is managed by the father, and the daughter only keeps virtual rights. Eugénie didn't understand at all, so he signed the deed, and his father was relieved. " His wife is still well, but he is running for his inheritance. "In the evening, Grandet came to his wife's room and happened to meet the mother and daughter looking at the portrait of Charlie's mother. As soon as Grandet saw the gold box, he clung to it like a tiger pouncing on a sleeping baby. "Greed, cunning, stingy, money is the only god he worships, which is beyond doubt. Compared with his father, Eugénie is very loving and kind. Many public welfare undertakings have been set up: 1 nursing home, 8 missionary primary schools and a library have been established. Charlie first made a fortune in India, and later he made a lot of money by trafficking in people, releasing and dumping pirates' stolen goods. Besides, in order to get the title of "upstart" and squeeze into officialdom in the future, he agreed to marry Miss O 'Briant. The characters in the book all have their own personalities, but we can also find the shadow of the society at that time from them. The aristocratic class is declining day by day, "all feudal, patriarchal and idyllic relationships have been destroyed", and they have been replaced by domineering bourgeois nouveau riche and omnipresent and omnipotent money forces. And a weak woman who is content with the status quo. After reading this book, I have to sigh that the history of capitalists is a history of humiliation mixed with blood and tears.
The Golden Bough
I am reading two thick books recently: Golden Branch and New Science. I suddenly read such a book, hoping to form a relatively complete discourse system. To put it mildly, I have a comprehensive understanding of an academic field. In the future, no matter writing articles or quarreling with people, you can quote classics like that without feeling guilty. Originally, perhaps the best choice is psychology, or even the history I am interested in (history can't be called history here, because I am mainly interested in historical stories and anecdotes, rather than those systematic theoretical knowledge), but the reality is that I have carefully observed my own collection, and unfortunately, there are only three books in the field of cultural anthropology. I have Straus's Rhapsody, Structural Anthropology and Melancholy Tropical, Fraser's Golden Branches, Vico's New Science and Hegel's Philosophy of History. Although Lao Hei's historical philosophy has little to do with anthropology and mythology, it is still possible to scare individuals by taking it out to cushion the bottom. In this state of mind, my reading began. I just spent half a month reading 100 1 page of "Golden Branch". I think it only took me 24 hours to finish the thicker Duke of Lushan. I remember all the plot characters clearly, and there will be absolutely no mistakes. But now this book is different. Reading is slow, and what is more troublesome is not remembering anything. I can't help but think of an episode in "Eternal Dragon Slayer", in which Zhang Sanfeng taught Zhang Wuji and Tai Ji Chuan, and the sign of the degree of understanding was how many tricks he had forgotten. If you forget everything, you have mastered it completely. This is really a lovely standard. According to this standard, I have fully understood the golden branch. The only pity is that this book was not written by Zhang Sanfeng, and the efforts of foreigners cannot be measured by the standards of China people. So, I actually read it for nothing. Of course, my memory is not that bad. The problem lies in the content of the book. The whole book only explains one question, that is, in ancient Roman myths and legends, why did people who went to the nano-forest to challenge the king of the forest break a branch from the oak tree Virgil called the golden branch in advance? Naturally, you can guess from the thickness of the book that this problem has been fully and thoroughly explained. More than a dozen possibilities of the golden symbol have been explained one by one, and the author can't give more than 100 examples to prove every problem. The most obvious truth embodied in this book is: let the facts speak for themselves. Sure enough, in many cases, the status of discussion has been completely degraded and become a curse. Such a long book, such a long night, you can imagine the reading pain I suffered at that time. Gradually, I forgot what my original purpose was. The motive of fishing for fame and reputation has long disappeared in vague words. What finally sustained me to continue reading was curiosity, because I like telling stories, especially strange stories, and Jinzhi has many such things, just for fear of missing any shocking anecdotes. Learn from Fraser and give a few small examples to illustrate how strange these anecdotes are: First, the Baganda people in Central Africa firmly believe that two couples are closely related to the fertility of the earth. If a couple gives birth to twins, it means that their fertility is extraordinary. Shortly after giving birth, the villagers wanted a ceremony to let their mother lie on her back on the grass and put a big banana flower between her legs. Then ask her husband to come over and pick out the flowers with his genitals. The purpose of the ceremony is clear, that is, to pass on the fertility of the couple to the fruit trees (page). I chose this one not because I deeply sympathize with my husband's difficult situation, although thousands of people have passed away, but because a large number of similar ceremonies in the book show from the side that some images that often appear in my mind are no strangers, but only remnants of prehistoric memories, if my memory is really that good. Secondly, according to the principle of contact sympathetic witchcraft, tribesmen believe that magic can act on a certain part of a person's body to hurt him, so the most solemn experiment always appears in the form of a blood-saving alliance. You have me and I have you, and they will always have the ability to hurt each other, so it is impossible to betray each other. Saliva, like blood, can be used to swear. For example, Wajaga people in East Africa often put a bowl of milk in front of them when they make a contract. After reading the vows, each side takes a sip and spits it into the other's mouth. In an emergency, if the ceremony is too late, they will spit on each other's mouths and make sure to fulfill their vows. After reading this article, I sincerely admire Jin Yong. In the Legend of the Condor Heroes, I wrote that the new leader of the Beggars' Sect took office after a ceremony in which the whole people spurned him. At that time, I thought Lao Jin was whimsical, but now it seems to have a profound historical background. It can be said that anything that can be thought of can be done. Thirdly, it is said that a long time ago, the battlements of Quanzhou Prefecture were shaped like a carp, while the battlements of adjacent Yongchun County were shaped like a fishing net. Therefore, Quanzhou Prefecture often became a victim of plunder in Yongchun County, until Quanzhou residents figured out a way: to build two pagodas in the city center, which ended this bad luck, because the pagodas prevented fishing nets from falling from the sky (page 55). It's a bit odd to pick out this example here. I just moved to Quanzhou from far away and feel like I am in the corner of the world. I didn't expect to see its name here, and it is the only place name in China. In a blink of an eye, Quanzhou is not far away, and Fraser is much closer. Seeing "Golden Branch" hurt me badly, so I had to rest for two days before I started reading "New Science". I read this book when I was a sophomore. I still remember borrowing it from a girl who admired me. I seemed to have a lot of experience at that time. I wrote a lot of mysterious words in my notebook, which will benefit a lot from rereading. Go up a flight of stairs, but it's not like that at all I can't understand this book at all now. I just don't know what I mean. Unfortunately, I don't know any of them. Am I still me? Why did I go back alive? Finally, I came to the conclusion that I was still me, and I didn't come back, except that I should have been killed by a stick. Finally, I end this reading note with a sentence from the Golden Branch: If you want to show what you know, the best way is to really know them.
