Shanzhai book holder (1): Art of travel

According to my personal understanding, the so-called essay writer is a writer who can grasp the major theme of human survival and discuss these theme in a friendly way as usual. If a casual writer writes a book with love, he may make a slight exploration of the history and psychology of love, but he must end up with a personal tone, it is like talking to a friend.

I don't know why I want to recommend this book to you, because it is really a free book. There are tens of millions of books, not every one of which needs to be read. Just like there are tens of millions of places in the world, we have only a limited number of books. Reading a book is like meeting a beautiful girl or going to a strange place.
This is a very annoying matchmaker, but I would like to continue writing, because her figure is always shaking in my mind, as if I have been saying to me, "recommend me! Recommend me ......".

I have participated in some "Mass Production" trips. That is to say, the coach was forced into the travel agency's bus and directed by a tour guide. He went to a crowded tourist attraction, stepped on a neat step to climb a mountain, or lie in a dilapidated beach chair to see the sea and beautiful women. In this case, it is always pleasant. At least, you can breathe a few fresh air temporarily, and stay away from the dull and boring day after day. There is also a lingering sense of mediocrity and powerlessness.
But sometimes I don't understand why humans like to travel. People from Hangzhou go to Guangzhou, and people from Guangzhou go to Hangzhou. Everyone is crowded on the train and calls others passengers. Do people like to go to places where others live? Just as we all want to get rid of our current life and ourselves. What did we get from our trip? In addition to the hundreds of megabytes of pictures with identical dull expressions on different backgrounds, can we recall some moments of emotion?
However, I still look forward to traveling every day. I always look forward to something special and interesting. The more plain life is, the more intense this desire is. In this case, you can watch a movie or chat with friends. Or, if there is an unusual and interesting book at hand, it is also a kind of happiness.

Wang jianshuo wrote in the book reviews: "Many people are interested in this book because they like traveling. Half of them read this book and found that it was originally an art-based book. In the end, I suddenly realized that it introduced how to live a happy life ". Indeed, it is hard to tell what this book is about. Or, as the author said, "This is an essay ......". It is not a travel guide, nor does it systematically explore art; it will not teach you the secret of commercial success, nor boast of itself as the savior of the soul. But it is certain that it is not a book that will disappear after reading it. It is like an old friend who is knowledgeable, wise, and artistic. It is there, so that people can't help but look forward to it. They can't help but hope that they can also have the eyes that can see the beauty and be touched, there is also the hand that can draw beauty and emotion, and the pen that can be written ......

I have written so much about the usage of this book, and I am a little confused about it. I would like to say to you:
This book introduces stories and works of a large number of artists. Even if we cannot improve our artistic accomplishments in a short time, it is at least a good discussion;
The author's insights into travel, art, and life are fascinating;
The most valuable thing is that the author has truly achieved "discussing the major theme of human survival in a kind way that is common in gossip ". A book like this about travel and art not only makes people feel difficult and boring, but will become more and more interesting to read, nearly half of the length is devoted to introducing the stories and works of artists. Not only do they not feel like they are selling or making money, but they are getting more and more friendly. This really requires high technology, it is worth pondering and learning carefully;
......
But now I don't want to write this. Why must we do something useful? We have done too many useful things, right? Every day, we go to work with a hard head. We have to endure the difficulties and grievances to provide a box in this city. In order to meet the standards of successful people in modern society-money, rights, fame, and title-we have done too many things contrary to nature and gradually become numb. However, without such a life, you cannot get rid of yourself in the eyes of others. But at least do something useless occasionally.

On a late autumn evening, I accidentally passed by a bus station. There were 5 or 6 people waiting for the bus standing under some worn-out cards. They stared at the direction behind me and looked at me with anxiety and anger. They stared at me for a long time, but they couldn't get an eye, angry eyes seem to be complaining about the loss caused by the bus that has been late for 5 minutes. Standing beside them, there is a thick Huai tree, so comfortable, the leaves gently shake with the breeze. I suddenly envy that tree. Maybe they shouldn't, but I still think they are not as good as a tree. I think I should really learn from this tree and make up my mind that I should pay attention to the tree next time I wait for the bus.

When I came out of the supermarket, I found it rained heavily. After reading the time, 20: 40, the day is dark. In Shenyang, after this time, the number of buses will decrease. Generally, you have to wait for 10 ~ 20 minutes. The ground was full of water and wet everywhere. The people waiting for the bus dropped down in the narrow canopy of the bus station and looked down and irritated. It's hard to say that the small drops of water are blowing on your face and body. The bus has no shadow. At this moment, I accidentally looked up and saw the raindrops in the sky shaking by the street lamp. It felt so beautiful! Suddenly, I suddenly changed from a ELE. Me, unlucky employee who was blocked by heavy rain on the road to a tourist who enjoyed the beautiful scenery. Even if the water drops on my face, I don't feel uncomfortable.

Some beautiful places, we have been there, but we cannot grasp them. Slowly, We have blurred our memories. Small things in ordinary life are often boring, but those things that are always printed in our memory are often the most unlikely things that touch us. If you change your perspective, you can even travel in your bedroom to discover the beauty and emotion you have never noticed before. "The pleasure we get from travel may depend more on the mood of our trip, rather than the destination itself." I think this is what the author wants to tell us most.

By the way, it is best to read this book from the back.
