Reflections and Enlightenment from Reading Cultural Journey 1
After reading the book "Cultural Journey" by Mr. Yu, I have some brand-new understanding and thinking. Share as follows:
From the experiences of several proud representatives of Shanghai culture, such as Xie Jin, Ba Jin, Huang and Chen Yifei, it seems that I have actually realized the pain of a certain culture, which is frustrating but seems inevitable. In the 1960s and 1970s, it killed a group of intellectuals and the whole of China. Its influence is so deep that twenty or thirty years after it ended, it still buried "type" mines, which inadvertently triggered people.
"There are so many slanders, forgeries and misdeeds in the cultural field, but they always stare at some good works without censorship!" That's true. There have been such little people throughout the ages. They deliberately make some different voices, always looking for differences in everyone's praise to show how different they are from others and get a little attention. As Ba Jin described them: "If someone refuses to enter their boxes, if there are more flowers in other people's gardens, more birds will chirp in the trees in front of the window. If they hear fresh songs and see unfamiliar articles, they will be angry and will raise sticks to bash them head-on. These little people are mean, jealous, or want to gain fame. In short, they are all small people.
However, "why can't the receiver of culture always shelter the creator of culture?" "It used to be like this, and now it seems to be the same. The arrogance of the wicked is always the most arrogant, while those good people are so weak in front of them. When a writer becomes famous, he is often questioned by many parties, especially many deliberate voices. Most of them are jealousy and slander. That's why so many talented people can't be reused, and so many excellent people suffer all kinds of criticisms. In this way, people's psychology is still worshipped.
What impressed me most was Xie Jin's friendship, which Yu Xiansheng rated as "never corrupting". Indeed, Xie Jin has never used his friends. He has many new friends, but he won't ignore any and won't forget any. He didn't take advantage of some small people, just ignored him for the first time, completely ignored him. When he criticizes some senior officials, he always likes to say it repeatedly everywhere, hoping it can reach that person's ear without worrying that he will get into trouble at all. Sometimes when I find myself criticizing wrongly, I say loudly everywhere, "That's actually a good man. I made mistakes in the past! " "He is like this, doing things honestly and aboveboard, which is really enviable. Compared with the villain's behavior, it is much inferior and can't be compared at all. If all the people in the world are "real men" like Xie Jin, what are the villains in the world?
The last great sentence: "the culture of an ordinary city mainly depends on how many lively scenes there are on the ground;" The culture of an aristocratic city mainly depends on a few lonely clouds in the sky. "
Reflections and Enlightenment from Reading A Journey to Culture (Ⅱ)
After watching the Cultural Journey, I closed my eyes gently. Snow and spring reverberated in front of my eyes for a long time, but they lingered. ...
Open your eyes again, only to find that you are already in front of the sun. The snow has not stopped, and the vast land is covered with snow. The west wind roared and the snowflakes danced, and the world was suddenly white. In the distance, some jagged rocks are still black.
Faced with such a sunshine pass, Wang Wei did not show sharp panic. Facing the friend who is about to go out, he knows that his friend's long trip can be described as a narrow escape, and that this farewell may mean farewell, but he just quietly wrote: "I advise you to drink one more glass of wine, and there is no reason for you to go out to the Western Heaven." Their parting, without much regret and dissuasion, focused on the future. This is the demeanor of the Tang people.
Maybe the road ahead is far away, maybe it was bumpy, or the official career was ups and downs, or today's farewell is forever, but they will always feel sweet in bitterness and always look for hope in difficulties. Therefore, I see that their farewell is frequent, but their footsteps are free. Therefore, even in August, when the north wind swept across the earth and the white grass broke branches, Cen Can could still say happily in the face of heavy snow, "If the spring breeze comes at night, the petals of a pear tree will be blown open". Therefore, even if Li Bai "crossed the Yellow River, iced the ferry, and snowed and climbed the Taihang Mountain", he could sing "Long Wind and Waves, and set my cloudy sail straight and bridge the deep, deep sea". Therefore, even if Liu Yuxi was abandoned in "the desolate land of Bashan and Chushui" for 23 years, he could still philosophically write "Qian Fan is on the side of the sunken ship and Wan Muchun is in front of the sick tree". So, ...
Before the sunshine, I saw them coming to me slowly, their eyes were so calm, their smiles were so sure, and their spirits were so confident!
The north wind roared again, and the dust swept in. I stood at the top of Shashan Mountain and watched the beautiful scenery of Shashan Mountain in the sunset: every day, every place was generously and clearly arranged, with pure colors and a smooth charm. When I was intoxicated, I looked down and found a vision at the foot of the mountain-a clear spring lying across the foot of the mountain. In the desert, it looks so abrupt; It is so bright in the vast yellow sand. It's so obvious that people don't think it belongs here. With its appearance, it should flow gently and quietly in Jiangnan. But it has created such a lovely world in this long yellow sand. The flying sand in the sky has never been filled? The hurricane in the middle of the night didn't suck it dry?
In the sand mountain, beside the clear spring, in the darkness, a voice came, relaxed, calm and clear: because of persistence, because of persistence, it is eternal!
I look up at the place where Mr. Yu once stood, I look down, I am moved, I sigh, that natural landscape, that humanistic landscape, that pearl-like text are all nutrients of my life, nourishing my thoughts and feelings!
Reflections and Enlightenment from Reading "A Journey to Culture" (III)
This man, with his understanding and feeling of the historical and cultural essence of China, which has been hidden for thousands of years, gave birth to an amazing work "Cultural Journey".
The first time I saw Yu's article was a text I learned in junior high school, The Letter Guest. Even now, I still don't forget the honest, selfless, kind-hearted and kind-hearted image of the letter-bearer in The Letter-bearer. The words he expressed also gave people a sense of conciseness, elegance, incisiveness and fluency.
Picking up the "Cultural Journey", I feel heavy and under great pressure. "Cultural journey", as the name implies, is a difficult journey. Change the simple and chic before, and the text is older and thicker. "Affection begets early" means: "Affection for history will always increase the load of life, and the vicissitudes of history will give you a sense of vicissitudes." If he is in the ocean of history and deeply immersed in his own thoughts, he is happy or sad because of the ups and downs of China culture.
Lushan Mountain, a strange and familiar name, illustrates its value and significance there.
The beautiful scene of China ancient people's emotional healing is like a vicissitudes of life old man with a thousand-year secret buried. From "on the long mountain road leading to Sandie Spring, I felt a great sense of capacity" to "No one escaped, but they all looked up and stood silently, without sighing or discussing, showing the wet life of that person." This is its charm, the fury and majesty of the waterfall, and even the majestic momentum, which not only shocked the author, but also shocked my soul. He said that literati are also weak. As long as they are wrapped in this torrent, they can breathe for thousands of years. The result is in this seemingly ordinary standing moment. Man, history and nature are mixed in chaos.
In The Towers, I realized the author's sadness and resentment over the loss of cultural relics. In Snow in Yangguan, the author looks for Yangguan, remembers Wang Wei and feels the sadness of history. In "Hidden Springs in the Sand Garden", I seem to see the author standing on Mingsha Mountain overlooking the crescent spring, with pity and surprise in his eyes, and then a sound of nature sounded in his heart.
The hardship of the journey is not the exhaustion of the body, but the ups and downs of the mind, the author's thinking and pursuit of culture, and the bitter aftertaste of passing away. He said, I dare not pray for our huge culture, but I hope that the words I write can have a bitter aftertaste, an anxious understanding, a meditative relaxation, and a youthful age.
"The road is long, Xiu Yuan, and I will go up and down." It is also unique to calm down and chew "culture" in your mouth.
Reflections and Enlightenment from Reading A Journey to Culture (IV)
In the twilight, all the noise returned to calm. Nothing is better than reading in a quiet night. A solitary lamp and a cup of strong tea, put on the rest of the travel prose collection "Cultural Journey" and savor it.
Seeking stability in silence is the realm of reading. The book opened, and in an instant, there appeared a Yu, who seemed to be having tea with me. Gradually, I involuntarily joined the traveling team. It seems that there is only one person in the whole trip, and that is me. The sky is vast and everything is so real. I am like the shadow of a tour guide, invisible, but everywhere, guiding me, influencing my thoughts, and making me truly experience this bitter trip.
I like drinking tea, especially strong tea-there is a faint fragrance in the green water. If you drink it in one gulp, you must complain. Tea can only be tasted slowly. The first bite may be bitter, but when you take it carefully, it seems like a long stream of water, and a sweet fragrance rises from your stomach and goes straight to your forehead. That kind of comfort can only be felt when you are around. The more you chew, the more you taste, and so does reading.
There, my heart seemed so pale and powerless. For example, the spring tide in Qiantang River, fine words have sweeping momentum. Every jumping character is a perfect combination, plain and touching.
I walked through Dunhuang and entered the Mogao Grottoes. "Looking at the Mogao Grottoes is not a specimen that has been dead for many years, but a life that has lived for more than a thousand years." Here, I am completely "melted by the torrent of history". "Without repetition, true happiness never repeats. No stereotype, no room for real humanity. There is nothing there, only human life is transpiration. " Yes, what am I in the face of this thousand-year cultural accumulation? There happens to be a Taoist king in this holy place where pilgrims are numerous. Since then, the Chinese nation has been humiliated, but didn't Wang Daoshi make the Mogao Grottoes culture shine? There are so many cultures in China, but we just ignore this cultural treasure house. How sad it is!
"History has never given vassal status." "History has never pitied the weak." Shanghainese just have a spirit. They want to prove themselves strong. "The real strong, always occupy a place. Isn't that what the Chinese nation needs?
"No ruins, no yesterday, no yesterday, no today and tomorrow. Ruins are textbooks, let's read a geography as history; Ruins are a process, and life is to start from old ruins and move towards new ruins. Ruins are a long evolutionary chain. " "Grandma without wrinkles is terrible, and old people without white hair are sorry." In the collision between mind and soul, the call of "let history return to truth and life return to process" was issued.
Here, it has transcended the limitations of time and space, and it is a difficult trip. It's like traveling in the desert. This is a historical roaming and a cultural journey, and it is the default of the cultural connotation that has been sealed for a long time. Reading and reading, I was shocked by my soul, baptized by my spirit and sublimated by my heart.
Life is actually a journey of suffering.

I like tea, especially strong tea. Green water gives off a faint fragrance. If you drink it in one gulp, you will complain. Tea can only be tasted slowly. The first bite may be bitter, but when you take it carefully, it seems like a long stream of water, and a sweet fragrance rises from your stomach and goes straight to your forehead. That kind of comfort can only be felt when you are around. The more you chew, the more you taste, and so does reading.
When I first read Yu's Cultural Journey, I always lamented his bold brushwork and heroic philosophical words with a little bitterness. What makes the author's article go through the Millennium, connect the past and the present, and look comfortable? It is an experience, a kind of accomplishment. It is this kind of experience and accomplishment that has created the unique artistic characteristics of Cultural Journey. For readers, appreciating Yu's beautiful essays gives them a free space for spiritual baptism and cultural reflection to a great extent.
Written in this book, there are both passers-by in history and lonely literati who have been wandering all their lives; There are not only descendants of Fan Qin who are free to protect the ancient cultural heritage, but also people who are simple and kind but ignorant and deprive of beauty; Not only the mystery and sacredness of the Mogao Grottoes, but also the history of the rise and fall of the Yellow River civilization; Not only the beauty and charm of Jiangnan, but also the distance and depth of temples. These profoundly depict the side of one culture after another, which makes people feel ashamed.
Yu traveled with chivalrous feelings and mind, walking alone in Dunhuang, Yangguan, Liuci, Three Gorges, West Lake, Tianyi Pavilion ... by the river, in the desert, in the mountains, in the pulse of history, in the center of responsibility and morality. While taking us all over the great rivers and mountains of the motherland, we don't forget to rub in the history and culture of China, which presents us with charming scenery and curious humanistic phenomena, and also makes readers reflect on culture to a certain extent, and at the same time, readers' spirit has been baptized.
Probably, every natural landscape and human landscape needs some historical events to enrich it, to become a real monument, and to deeply infect China people from generation to generation with ancient stones and blocks. The role of literati is to realize the long-standing cultural and humanistic spirit of historic sites. Therefore, scholars are also an element of enriching historical sites. That's what I did.
A person's life is a period of history. The road of life is tortuous; Looking back at the footprints left behind me, I am very proud, and I am inevitably a little disappointed. Because no matter how brilliant your success is, there will always be regrets of one kind or another. The author trudges between mountains and rivers in order to record the historical footprint and the soul of culture; We trudge all our lives to record the true meaning of life.
"Passion for history will always increase the load of life, and the vicissitudes of history will lead to a sense of life." This is the author's sigh and inspiration to readers.
In the long river of history, there are many people who can forge ahead like Yu Qiu, but only he can calmly and painfully reveal that history has left us with most pains and scars, and even with such good medicine as time, it is difficult to heal. Some people can treat time as a girl without sorrow, while others can't do it anyway. They will only chew that bitterness over and over again, and this bitterness will be passed down from generation to generation.
Perhaps "Cultural Journey" is just a cup of strong tea in front of you, which is bitter at the entrance, but there will always be a trace of aftertaste after suffering-the understanding of history, culture and life are all melted in this bitter aftertaste.
