Last night, I finished reading Chen Zhongshi old man's monumental work "White deer original". I don't know what's going on, every time I read a novel like this,
In the heart is always a faint sadness, it seems that life is so small in life, also seems to rise in the heart of a kind of uncertain, cynical attitude. The same is true of "ordinary world" before reading the road. In the novel, looked at a lot of characters of the life, in the novel, witnessed a change of an era, always feel that their innermost feelings seem to have a part, is from the novel out of the same. I think this is probably the charm of these novels. "White Deer Original" This novel begins with Xuan, with the death of Lu Zilin Knot, deeply depicts the white deer two lifelong struggle, in the meantime across the Qing Dynasty, anti-Japanese and civil war to the founding of the New China's historical changes. May be in the mind by the usual online essay evaluation of the impact of essays, when I read the novel, always like to deliberately look for some symbolic characters, trying to think, these characters in the author's heart is exactly what kind of symbol, what is represented? And in my opinion, I obviously found a few key symbols with my own childish feeling. Xuan as the patriarch of the White Deer two family, set feudal orthodox thought in a whole, commanding all the size of the family affairs. He has always been committed to the maintenance of the family tradition and rules of the people, dedicated to guarding the ancestral temple! He can not rub all the crooked things in his eyes, no matter who can not offend the rules of his heart, even his family. The most typical description of the book is that when Xuan found his big son and the Tian cheating, a little affection did not read, at the presence of many people in the face, in accordance with the clan to punish their son mercilessly. Later still do not feel jiehen, request and the big son separation, from this was abandoned this son. So that when the white deer in the original famine, his big daughter-in-law starved, he did not care, his big son hungry to beg, he also indifferent. But things are always ironic. At the end of the book, in order to three sons to be able to breed, Xuan design scam let three daughter-in-law to borrow species, so the absurd thing but then quietly mercilessly smoked the old patriarch's mouth son. In the book, no one can touch Xuan change their feudal ideas, after all, or he chose to abandon his life in the maintenance of the clan! From the depiction of the book, Xuan to three daughter-in-law borrowed, and did not realize what was wrong, so as an outsider reader, inevitably feel that this old patriarch is poor. For as an ordinary peasant, he could not have such consciousness, and realized how rebellious he had been, and the creed which he had guarded for the rest of his life had been destroyed by himself. In fact, throughout the book, this is inevitable change! Because things have been changing. Qing dynasty collapse, to cut braids, remove women's binding cloth, Xuan hands support. But when the Kuomintang-communist cooperation, the National Revolution, he was conservative, resolutely sealed the door, not to participate in any revolution-related speech and activities, he wanted only white deer aThe family is intact. His daughter Bai Ling participated in the revolution, he strongly opposed, at the father and daughter as a hostage, eventually forced the white spirit, in his heart, has been a lark since the dead! I never saw my daughter again, alas, it's pathetic! It was his old-fashioned ideas that made him almost oblivious, and his world was almost full of battles with Lu Zilin. Throughout Xuan's life bumpy experience, I have been thinking, in fact, do not have to criticize the old patriarch's thoughts and pies. His feudal society was indeed the source of all his tragedies, such as the tragic events of his great son, which caused him to never meet with his daughter, and also caused his rickets back. But it was his stubborn thought that saved himself many times without sleep. For example, because of stubborn, do not choose side queued, because also avoids a lot of trouble. And because of his idea of governance, the white Deer two in every revolution in the turmoil did not have a fatal key. And even more to my admiration, Xuan is really a great thinker. Every time the ordeal, every time a turbulent change in the world, he can from his own feudal head of the cobwebs, a new code of life, and sometimes even criticize themselves to change. This is really very rare! For example in suffering from Heva poison, cause he from henceforth rickets spine, he can plain place, decently, learned to use a more strong way to see the world. For example, in the struggle with Lu Zilin, was mercilessly lost face, he can endure humiliation, even disdain let this look like vanity of face damage his inner moral integrity. In short, after reading "White Deer Original", for Xuan this person, I can only sigh with his tragic life while appreciating his unique rules of law. didn't think about Xuan to say so much. Next, I want to talk about Tian this woman. Because before watching "White deer original" novel, I probably browsed Quan's "White Deer original" film, found that the film is all about the story of Tian, make I thought "White Deer original" is the same as Tian, so in reading, pay special attention to this character. Read the novel only to know, in the 20th chapter of the time like, Tian is already dead, is never admitted to her the public killed! In the book, you will probably feel that Tian is the representative who dares to resist the feudal. Probably want to add some positive comments to her. Because Tian as the landlord's concubine, she dared to resist, in Heva adultery, finally brave with the black baby live on the day. Of course, Tian is also Heva and his father deer three and Heva and Xuan contradiction source. But later, Heva participated in the revolution, Tian did not adhere to Heva, and in the rescue of Heva, turn to Lu Zilin, double Lu Zilin use, and then Lu Zilin take place is incest drift scandal, not only so, she also hooked Xuan's big son Bai Xiaowen! So in Xuan's opinion, and all the people, Tian is a cancer of bailu,People want to punish and then quickly. So Heva and Tian can only live in a shabby cave in the corner of the Bailu, without admittance to the town. Perhaps in many people's view, the struggle between Tian and Xuan, and Shikazo (his father) belonged to the feudal and anti-feudal struggle, which belonged to the old-fashioned feudal marriage custom and the woman who dared to resist the pursuit of family freedom. But in my opinion, this is purely a false conclusion! Because the starting point of Tian resistance, not oppression, not feudalism, from the beginning to the end of nature are her human selfishness. Perhaps she has never loved Heva. She and Heva fornication, also in order to escape from the landlord, to satisfy their own inner beg of the men and women. Later with Heva, also because she had no choice, because such a poor woman, no one will want. From her later adultery with the Lu Zilin, and Bai Xiaowen fornication, can be the most essential driver, just her inner self-indulgent loneliness and lust for discontent! She never wanted to rebel against what feudal manners, to pursue what free marriage. Even in the men she slept in, her feelings were not sincere, as long as she gave her meals, everything was able to care about her, she would be absolutely obedient. A woman with a starting point, how can she say she is a representative against the feudal dross? Tian finally was Shikazo killed, no one sympathy, only Heva and Bai Xiaowen sincere want revenge for her. The other person in the book must be Mr. Chu! In the book, the intellectuals who transcend mortals, Guanzhong da Ru, are almost recognized as a saint, or even a man of God. He can always expose the nature of the world in a very cryptic code, and sometimes Northern, predicting the development of affairs. To give up these shengming of Mr. Zhu, in the book is just his bold remarks let people sigh with regret. For example, in the failure of the National Revolution, Chiang Kai-shek massacre Communist Party, as the Communist Party is also his nephew's Lu Chaopeng asked him if he hoped to grasp the regime, he was dismissive. The idea is that the Kuomintang, the difference is not very important, because all the people for the sake of the world, so the key is not in who in power, but in the world as soon as possible. I was thinking, at the end of the book, that Mr Chu must have realized that his previous remarks had been wrong because he had gradually felt the ugliness of the Kuomintang. However, it is not good to say that, because the Communist Party has almost no contact with Mr. Zhu, guiding him after death, a total of * * * Party only to liberate the white deer, perhaps Zhu has been not aware of the total * * * Party is what virtue it. Personally, I feel that Mr. Chu is more of a reader than the author deliberately arranges. It is like Mr. Zhu led you to see this novel, when you have doubts, Zhu always one or two words to point out the center, let you have a clairvoyant feeling. For example, the Kuomintang-Communist Party and bandits and Xuan in the white deer in the game, is the image of Mr Chu as a slaughterhouse, all the things that happen are just catching their prey. Mr. Chu is always able to stay out of sight and see the nature that we cannot see. In fact, from another aspect, Mr. Chu alsoThere is a little stubborn feudal atmosphere. The most obvious hint is that Heva careful revolution back to the white deer, in the leadership of Zhu went to visit the clan ancestral temple things. At that time Lu Chaopeng heard at this time, is to blame Heva, should not worship ancestral temple. I think this is actually the author in the world to show that the Great Saints also have their time limitations and limitations of life, to Mr. Chu, despite his shengming, it is impossible to overcome the Clan township treaty such a box of their own growth. So we don't have to demand perfection, it still doesn't affect Mr Zhu's glorious image. Of course, later the Cultural Revolution Four Olds, Zhu's tomb bones were planed out, his identity has been doomed to his tragedy. There are several key figures in the book, such as Lu Chaopeng and Lark's obsession with the communist revolution, such as Zhaohai and Lark because of the different beliefs of the love disputes, such as Heva experience hardships and his metamorphosis, such as Shikazo's death, For example, the Lu Zilin and the destruction, such as Bai Xiaowen as the patriarch of the feudal and after the change from the White House, and so on, no thought-provoking. "White Deer Original" charm is that you can deeply into different souls, can appreciate the changes in the times in those souls to lay the mark. In my opinion, "White deer original" The most attractive to me is to let me see a lot of people's life, they are in the face of the turbulent situation, the life of the wisdom and the unique way of doing things, are very valuable! We live in the contemporary, those feudal dross has already vanished, the free thought already rooted in our heart. Compared with those people, we worry about not how to live, but how to live well. But our minds are not necessarily more mature than they are, and our bosom is not necessarily wider than theirs. Our eyes are not necessarily brighter than theirs. Even though the world we see is bigger, our hearts are smaller. Compared with them, we may see in the eyes of the colorful world, but the heart is only imprisoned in their own naïve thoughts. Have to say, we today of this narrow heart, consider things are extremely deficient but not repent of the attitude, and their feudal conservative thinking compared to what is the difference?? We face temptation today, the face of the low-money posture, is not another form of feudalism? , &NB Sp    2016 May 8 pm
