In Dream of the West Lake, the author regards the West Lake as a common image in China culture, and regards the West Lake as an extremely complex collection of China cultural people. In the author's narrative, the West Lake is abstract and illusory, grand and ethereal. Taking the alienation caused by the old dream of the West Lake as an example, this paper expounds that the cultural personality of the group is becoming increasingly bleak. However, the author admires Su Shi and criticizes the old intellectuals in China who passively retired from the West Lake. The ideological realm of this article is extremely broad, closely related to society, history and reality, and has published its own unique views. The cultural taste of prose is nothing more than broadening the horizon of culture, style and accumulation contained in the article. Dream of the West Lake draws an old dream from an old folding fan and shows readers a cultural vision. The author draws lessons from the past and opens the history of the West Lake page by page. The historical celebrities and hermits living in the West Lake made Su Xiaoxiao and other two famous poets and prostitutes in the West Lake come out of the historical picture book vividly, and the past of the West Lake was suddenly enlightened. The West Lake is lively not only because of religious exhibitions, but also because of Taoism, what's more, those literati can't put it down. Yu's prose style of literati is detached, with different comments and criticisms, which is obviously a bit ridiculous. He said: If you rub China culture for a long time, you will always have this lake in your heart. The West Lake is not only a scenic spot, but also an indelible mark of China culture in a certain era. It is not difficult to see from the article that historical culture and scenic spots are still rippling on the blue waves of the West Lake.
It can be said that Dream of the West Lake has a keen insight in grasping the essence of the object. Due to the differences in personal social experience and cultural level, everyone's feelings about things will never be the same, but overall observation is conducive to grasping the essence of things, revealing the essence of things, and systematically grasping the characteristics of things, so as not to generalize. The author didn't write such a high-quality paper at will. Through the whole process of follow-up observation, the author has tracked and combed the culture of the West Lake from ancient times to the present. By personally visiting the West Lake, he sent out "scenic spots, scenic spots, scenic spots forever", instead of reading essays handed down from ancient times, he only looked at couplets dancing on the colonnade. I can't find a more generous grudge, only a few pavilions to mourn and rest. No longer expect the tremor of history, only mountains and lakes that sit in awe. Repair, repair, repair again, the tower is in the clouds, the vines are needed, and the Millennium algae moss floats on the lake. "After sighing, it mercilessly reveals the present situation of the literary world in which the cultural personality of the group is getting darker and darker, and the West Lake culture has become a kind of aimless waste in essence. Just caught the essence of the West Lake.
Association is the most important way of imagination in prose: this is because prose pays attention to truth. There are three types of prose association: close association, similar association and comparative association. The way of association is nothing more than series connection, radiation and borrowing. The use of association makes the forms of prose spread around like scattered beads, but they are strung together by a main line. In Dream of the West Lake, the author has rich associations. When I experienced the West Lake, I remembered the past of the West Lake, and a poem written by a Japanese envoy after visiting the West Lake in Zhengde period of Ming Dynasty: "I saw this lake map in previous years, but I don't believe there is such a lake in the world. After crossing the lake today, the painter still owes time. " Associated with religion and elaborated the relationship between religion and the West Lake, associated with Su Dongpo's unintentional involvement, associated with 20 years of seclusion, taking Mei as his wife and cranes as his son, satirized the depressed China literati who took the West Lake as their home to defend themselves and masturbated, and also associated with some women related to the West Lake.
Speaking of women, Dream of the West Lake belittles the cultural personality of literati, but praises several women related to the West Lake. Su Xiaoxiao, a famous prostitute, died of a serious illness at the age of 19. He wrote: "From love to beauty, it always revolves around the theme of life. Su Dongpo developed beauty into poems and long dikes, Lin Hejing pinned beauty on plum blossoms and white cranes, while Su Xiaoxiao always attached beauty to his life. She doesn't make too many physical and chemical transitions, but only relies on herself to radiate the microwave of life consciousness. " I think the author not only appreciates her beauty and talent, but also appreciates her philosophical and detached lifestyle. In his eyes, Su Xiaoxiao is more free and easy than those literati who suppress their own life noumenon, so the author points out the great sorrow of human beings: the most perfect ideal state is mostly a dream. The legendary White Snake Empress is a lovely life in the author's mind. He seems to be doing psychological analysis. His analysis of the pain, joy, struggle and pursuit of the White Snake Empress clearly reminds me of the gentle, beautiful and loyal White Snake Empress Angie Chiu in The Legend of the New White Snake. Infatuated White Queen finally failed to become an ordinary person, and her pursuit and dream were finally shattered. Many years later, the Leifeng Tower, which suppressed the White Empress, collapsed. Yu said: The Leifeng Pagoda is only a summative shape and has become a symbol of sadness in a national spiritual world. If the Leifeng Pagoda is a symbol of sadness, what is the White Empress? Is it a symbol that the pursuit of ideals in life is finally suppressed? Strong and persistent female representative? It's a pity that she loves the wrong person. But if her story had another ending, I'm afraid it wouldn't have survived to this day. Isn't it? Isn't it a tragedy to be a classic?
"West Lake Dream" fulfilled my dream. What about our dreams?
