Below, I bring you "Reflections after reading "Notes on Mountain Dwelling"". More content is available, and everyone is welcome to read it. Thoughts after reading "Notes on Mountain Residence" 1
Before I read "Notes on Mountain Residence", I only knew that it was a collection of essays. However, what is written about it and why is the title "Notes on Mountain Residence"? Don't know anything.
Now that I am holding this 210,000-word "Notes on Mountain Dwelling", I only glance at the literary titles in the catalog, such as "The Back of a Dynasty" and "The Land of Exiles" "The Fragile Capital", "The Thousand-Year Garden", "The Distant Silence", etc., I felt like I was holding a book as precious as a pearl.
As for why it was named "Notes on Mountain Dwelling", the author said in the "Small Introduction" that this book was written in the late autumn of 1992 while living on a hillside in Shatin, Hong Kong, and took two years to write. , this should be the origin of the name of this book.
The opening chapter "The Back of a Dynasty" is about the decline of the Qing Dynasty. The beginning of the article immediately aroused my interest in reading:
We people always have a complicated emotional barrier to the Qing Dynasty. I remember when I was very young, my history teacher talked about "Ten Days in Yangzhou" "There were tears in my eyes when I talked about the "Three Massacres in Jiading", which was the beginning of the Qing Dynasty; and there were tears in my eyes when I talked about the "Burning of the Old Summer Palace" and the "Reform of 1898", which was the end of the Qing Dynasty. When the elderly teacher cries, the children cry too. The history of the Qing Dynasty is the only course in primary school soaked in tears.
The back of a dynasty begins to appear in this kind of text full of delicate emotions. In this article, the author focuses on the summer resort in Chengde. The first emperor who appeared in the villa was Kangxi. The four words "Summer Resort" hanging on the Meridian Gate of the main palace of the villa were written by Kangxi. I have never been to Chengde Mountain Resort, so I cannot see with my own eyes these words written by Kangxi himself, but there is a photo of these words in the book. As Yu Qiuyu said, the four words "Summer Resort" are written extremely well. The words reveal the calmness and serenity of a winner. I don't know calligraphy, but after hearing what Yu Qiuyu said and savoring it carefully, I felt that it was really the case.
Then Yongzheng, Qianlong, Daoguang, Xianfeng, and Cixi appeared next. The backs of these people were like enchanting monsters, filled with a kind of yin energy.
The article "The Land of Exiles" made me understand that the punishments meted out to prisoners by ancient Chinese dynasties were so cruel that it would make people feel chilled after reading them. The "exile" in it is a long and terrible torture. The author said that it's okay to die. The problem is that people are still alive and all kinds of misfortunes have to be endured bit by bit with their hearts. Sometimes not only the whole family is exiled, but also the whole family is exiled. The disaster affected the nine tribes, and all relatives and even neighbors became exiles, often in groups of dozens or more than a hundred people. More than half of them would have died on the way. After arriving at the Northeastern exile colony, they were turned into slaves and assigned to their masters. When the master sees a beautiful woman, he will destroy her at will. He is afraid that her husband will get in the way, so he kills her first. It was absolutely terrifying.
In the article "Su Dongpo Breaks Out", the author believes that "a great literary giant like Su Dongpo who has allowed Chinese people to enjoy thousands of years should be the supreme pride of his era", but the fact is not In this way, "the more cultural celebrities transcend their era, they are often incompatible with the specific era in which they live." At that time, there were many people who framed Su Dongpo, even Shen Kuo, the author of "Mengxi Bi Tan", was no exception. The author has a lot of deep feelings in this article. Please read the following paragraph. I think what the author said is too insightful:
The villain holds the master, and the master holds history... A Chinese novel Cultural history has long tied many cultural masters to the dock, while judges and plaintiffs are mostly a bunch of winking villains.
A heavy page of history has been turned. However, until today, in our society and around us, such villains are still alive, and they are living with great dignity. This is very sad. One thing I thought.
Next, the author wrote about Yuelu Academy, which is located on the west bank of the Xiangjiang River and has existed for more than a thousand years in "Millennium Courtyard"; in the article "Sorry about Shanxi", the author once believed that Shanxi is special It is a land of poverty. In fact, Shanxi in history was once a place where merchants gathered and was known as the richest in the country. In the article "Where is the Countryside", it mainly writes about the author's hometown of Yuyao, Zhejiang, where there is the famous Hemudu ruins. "Stories from the End of the World" writes about female historical figures such as Mrs. Xi and Huang Daopo of Hainan Island.
In the whole book, "One Hundred Thousand Jinshi" occupies the largest space. The author analyzes the pros and cons of ancient China's imperial examination system in detail, which can be described as penetrating.
The article "The Distant Silence" writes about Ji Kang in the Wei and Jin Dynasties before he died calmly. Facing the three thousand imperial students who asked the court to pardon him, he sat in front of the piano and played a song " "Guangling San", the mysterious sound of the piano overwhelmed the sky and became the last sound in the world.
The title of the last article in this book is "The Dark Corner of History". The author describes the villain's face in detail. The author believes that villains generally have the following behavioral characteristics: 1. , villains cannot see beauty; second, villains cannot see power; third, villains are not afraid of trouble; fourth, villains are efficient in doing things (they can get things done quickly like snakes); fifth, villains Will not let the victim go (if you are hurt by a villain once, greater harm is waiting for you the second and third time, because if the villain does not do this, he will lack a sense of security); Sixth, the villain needs to win Sympathy; Seventh, the villain must use rumors to create an atmosphere; Eighth, the villain cannot control the situation in the end. Reading these carefully organized words by the author is really beneficial!
Before reading "Notes on Mountain Dwelling", I had already read Yu Qiuyu's "A Thousand Year Sigh", "Lend Me a Life" and "Walker Without Borders". In general I feel that Yu Qiuyu's writing is the most readable, most literary, and most thoughtful among the books I have read. After reading "Notes of a Mountain Residence" today, my impression has deepened. Mr. Yu Qiuyu can be called everyone. He has a lot of works. I decided that as long as I can borrow his other books that I have not read, I will definitely read them one by one! After reading "Notes on Mountain Residence" 2
Following Yu Qiuyu, I walked into the history of the Qing Dynasty, the back of the ruined dynasty, saw the desolate and lonely life of the exiles of the past generations, and lamented the impermanence of life. Who can resist those unexpected changes? Su Dongpo's breakthrough made me I lamented which dynasty buried the master, thought of the devastation experienced by the masters of all generations, and thought that our countrymen's jealousy of quality has been around for a long time. In fact, it is deeply rooted and has long been transformed into a trace of inheritance in the blood that we have not long recognized.
"Ashamed to Hold Shanxi" describes the history of a generation of Shanxi merchants who made their fortunes and became famous. It gave me a new understanding of Shanxi. I admire the Shanxi Shanxi merchants for their reputation and ability, their ability to assess the situation, and their ability to judge the situation. All kinds of them. It is these excellent qualities that enabled a generation of Shanxi merchants to take root, sprout, blossom and bear fruit in a foreign land. The semicolons everywhere speak of the wisdom of this group of people. But as times changed, when everything changed, Shanxi Shanxi merchants seemed to evaporate overnight. Their slumped end is the impact of the chaos of war and the inevitable result of the progress of the times. However, the general ticket number they left behind in Shanxi still shows the world the past prosperity of this place. Even people who are accustomed to the world will be shocked by the wealth and atmosphere here. It is inevitable that if the style of Shanxi and Shanxi merchants still exists and the business methods of Shanxi and Shanxi merchants still exist, our country's commercial culture will inevitably enter a new world. Of course, today's businessmen from Wenzhou, Zhejiang, and Guangzhou have spread all over the country, supporting economic prosperity, but compared with Shanxi and Shanxi businessmen, they lack kindness and long-term vision.
Yu Qiuyu took us to his hometown of Yuyao. That little-known place is his everlasting memory and pain. "Young and young leave home", but "you can't go back when you are old". Even if you go back, you have not set foot on the land of your hometown, and there are no relatives and friends to greet you. It will be quiet when you go back, unless you are wearing the title of a celebrity, and the contacts with officials seem lively. Just some. The concept of fallen leaves returning to their roots may be difficult to realize. The more difficult it is to achieve, the more it becomes the soft pain in my heart, and the more I miss you.
What also impressed me deeply was "One Hundred Thousand Scholars".
Yu Qiuyu's vision is indeed deeper than that of ordinary people. In addition to angrily criticizing the harm done by the imperial examination system, contemporary people do not think about the benefits it once brought to us in selecting talents, nor do they explore the links that caused this wonderful strategy to deteriorate. It has become a shackles for many scholars. Yu Qiuyu's analysis is sharp and profound, but also tactful. This view may be applicable to today's college entrance examination.
My favorite piece is "The Distant Silence". There are two reasons. First, the protagonists Ruan Ji and Ji Kang are rare handsome men and great writers in Chinese history. Among them, Ji Kang is an all-nighter who plays music all night long. He is a free and easy-going man who is not formal and is what ordinary people like me yearn for. And beyond reach. I can only think about these lamentations in my heart, close the book, and return to living within this normative framework at dawn. I am destined not to be that cool and unrestrained, so I can just envy them here.
Unexpectedly, Yu Qiuyu mentioned a villain at the end of the book. Villains do constitute a part of life and history. Villains cannot do anything, and villains have to guard against it. This is the advice given by the master. Thoughts after reading "Notes on a Mountain Dwelling" 3
"Notes on a Mountain Dwelling" is a companion piece to "Cultural Journey". I read it in a hurry and gained a rich experience in time and space. Reading Mr. Qiu Yu's book feels like holding a history textbook in one hand and a travel magazine in the other. While admiring the beauty of mountains and rivers, you can also feel the vastness of history.
Mr. Qiu Yu said that in this book, he is burdened with the confusion of life, looking for cultural relics and cultural scenes, and then telling readers his feelings. When looking at the ruins, I found that there are many problems that transcend the specific ruins and need to continue to explore -
For the mutual covetousness of political achievements and cultural plots, and the relationship between life and death;
For The exile, destruction and recovery of the cultural soul;
For the narrow encounter and passing of commercial civilization and Chinese culture;
For the achievements that the thousand-year imperial examination has left to social history and the group The scourge of personality
…
There are many issues left for each reader to experience. I believe everyone has different feelings.
"Mountain Dwelling Notes" *** collects 11 essays, covering the entire China, from Ningguta in Heilongjiang Province to Hainan Island; its time spans a thousand years, from the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties to the Qing Dynasty The last years.
"The Land of Exiles" made me feel the fragility of cultural people, who seem so vulnerable to powerful political forces. The exile of the Qing Dynasty also enabled the open civilization of Northeast China. Marx's philosophy of "contradiction exists in everything" also shows its charm in the cultural field;
"Stories from the End of the World" made me fascinated for a while I have the urge to go to Hainan Island and feel the profound cultural heritage behind the beautiful scenery;
"Su Dongpo Breaks Out" interprets Su Dongpo from another angle, using Su Dongpo as the coordinate to see how the direction of history can be determined by a group of people How far a villain can deviate. In fact, Su Dongpo did not break out. He was unable to resist the rumors and Shuo Jin's words. He lived a happier life, but he was open-minded;
"Where is the Countryside" is the most tender An article by , or the innate homesickness complex of Chinese people, made me return to my hometown from the author's hometown when I read this article, and returned to my childhood from the author's childhood. There is a kind of emotion in the darkness that no one can describe, like a thin layer of transparent paper, looming;
"Millennium Courtyard" helps you find that beautiful garden in the noisy city The secret academy - Yuelu Academy, is based on the present and looks back on history. As a modern person, experience the cultural essence of the ancients and explore the roots of culture.
There are also "The Back of a Dynasty", "Ashamed of Shanxi", "The Fragile Capital", "One Hundred Thousand Jinshi", "The Distant Silence" and "The Dark Corner of History", each of which is It will benefit you a lot.
After reading "Notes on Mountain Dwelling", it is like experiencing a journey of time and space, and then returning to the noisy era, impetuous city, and having a cultural burp.
Perhaps I have only scratched the surface of knowledge, but I feel extremely at ease in my heart. Thoughts after reading "Notes on a Mountain Dwelling" 4
When I first saw the title of the book, my intuition was refreshing. It seemed that all the trivial matters in a tall mansion were eclipsed by the word "Mountain Dwelling", which brought me into the mountains. The thoughts of fish and birds.
This is a book I bought by chance a year ago. At that time, it was just an ordinary book in my pile of dusty books. Just like the color of its cover, it was destined to be dull.
I have read a lot of things, including history books, novels, magazines and even astronomy. Every time I read it, some new feelings and ideas will appear, but only about Mountain Residence Notes, I think it You can share it with everyone.
Judging from the title of "Mountain Residence Notes", we will always focus on "Mountain Residence", and although the word "notes" is printed with the first two words, The same font, the same size, the same color, but they are always ignored by us. It seems that they are destined to be just a style of writing, a suffix, not orthodox enough. Just like the non-banner people during the Manchu Qing Dynasty, they were all unorthodox and could not become the protagonist or the focus. And it is these two words, ordinary to angry youth, that thoroughly carry out the content of this book. After reading this book, you will understand that the so-called note taker is the general term for essays and travel notes.
Essays and mountain dwellings echo each other, which is just some insights. People who have read "Bacon's Essays" should be able to understand the meaning of essays. Here, I want to focus on "Travel Notes". There are many kinds of travel notes, such as adventures like Jules Verne's "Captain Grant's Sons and Daughters", the joy of traveling around the world like Xiaopeng's "Ten Years of Backpacking", and others like "Notes on a Mountain Dwelling" by Mr. Yu Qiuyu What is swimming is history and life, and not only the body is swimming, but the soul is also wandering with the mind. This book is the result of the soul following the wandering mind. If you can calm down and carefully savor every word in the book, you will also feel like you are there.
With the mentality of looking down on the wind and grass, I walked into this book, walking on thin ice like Alice in Wonderland, and walked into the world of the book cautiously, for fear of someone in real life. Materialistic behavior will stain this pure holy land.
You don’t need to ask for a deep understanding when reading, and I once read it in one gulp. I can only say that I have not reached the level of Tao Yuanming. It seems not practical to not ask for a deep understanding, so I started from the beginning again. The first article, "The Back of a Dynasty", a more understandable name would be "Looking at the Qing Dynasty from the Rehe Palace", which is just like the mountains on which the Chengde Summer Resort relies, like an armchair, where a tired dynasty rested. Kangxi is different from Cixi, just as the Chengde Summer Resort is different from the Summer Palace. The former can reveal the calmness and serenity of a winner from the flick of the plaque. The villa has the dignity of the royal garden and the pride of the Mulan Paddock. Although the Summer Palace built by Cixi is a masterpiece of ancient architectural culture, it lacks some aura due to the times. In an era of internal and external troubles, the Rehe Palace was still abandoned and the gardens built in the narrow city of Beijing were No matter how beautiful it is, it all gets up with difficulty amidst the sorrow. This is also the difference between the late Qing Dynasty and the early Qing Dynasty.
Every dynasty that has lasted for hundreds of years begins with the heroic appearance of a group of strong men, and ends with some gentle and miserable souls. These souls are the guardians of culture. Culture is different from politics and military. Politics and military can appear suddenly and retreat quickly, but culture cannot. Just like the most tough among those who fought against the Qing Dynasty and restored the Ming Dynasty in the early Qing Dynasty. Those who would rather die than surrender are always intellectuals, Huang Zongxi and Gu Yanwu are among them. Just like Mr. Wang Guowei, a master of traditional Chinese culture, committed suicide by drowning himself in the lake in the Summer Palace. He did not die from political struggles, personnel disputes, or from being loyal to the Qing court like Wen Tianxiang who left his loyal heart as a reminder of history. Instead, he died from a culture: "everything is the same." When the value of this culture declines, the people transformed by this culture must feel pain." In an era when Western learning violently impacted Chinese studies, Mr. Wang Guowei paid tribute to the entire Chinese culture, and the Qing Dynasty was only his foothold.
For people like me who are interested in history, but are unable to achieve high or low standards, they are struggling internally. I have read many history books, and different versions and different authors have different interpretations of history. , but among different viewpoints, you can always determine your own opinion. This opinion may have been proposed by someone else, or you may be the first one. In the screen era when the Fourth Master is there whether you see it or not, I went to the book to look for the Fourth Master, the Qing emperor who has been familiar with "Shun Kang, Yong, Qian, Ji, Dao, Xian, Tongzhi, Guangxu, Xuantong, etc." since junior high school. Replacement has been further understood in recent days.
I feel more and more that Qianlong is a very complicated emperor. He has many political achievements and created many brilliance. However, he is arrogant, ignores foreign culture, and is full of Celestial consciousness. I vaguely feel that Qianlong is the major factor that caused the decline of the Chinese Empire. The turning point is contrary to the mainstream historical understanding, so I never dare to mention it in front of others. I finally found the secret of "the back of a dynasty". During the Qianlong Dynasty, a conceited heart under a strong appearance was destined to be an ominous sign.
The words in the book are all simple and there are no fancy words. Perhaps this is everyone’s style. After reading Mr. Yu Qiuyu's books, you will understand a state of "seeing mountains as mountains, water as water". He can combine the most ordinary strokes into the most beautiful words, and the author's vicissitudes and thoughts are revealed between the lines. The profundity and sophistication of the writing style. If you are accustomed to the rigorous logical thinking of science and engineering, you should also be properly cultivated and receive the influence of perceptual and idealistic thinking. You need to be organized but also know how to obscure things at the right time. You need to know how to sort things and how to disrupt them.
In this impetuous era where beauty and lace go hand in hand, and in the era when Guo Jingming’s materialism is popular, shouldn’t we also look for the “Ning Guta” formed by the literary prison? The land is also the place where the ideas of a generation of literary giants collide. Preserving Ning Guta in your heart is leaving yourself a pure place.
Since the beginning of school, I have been troubled by various things. Studying, relationships, and work make me extremely busy every day, but also very fulfilling. There are also times when I can’t think about it. Thanks to my friends who listened to my complaints during that time, I finally feel relieved and everything will return to normal. I want to say thank you to those who have been hurt by me or have hurt me. Every time I go through a hurdle, my mind will become more mature. Anyone who cannot be fooled by the surface and sees what is behind the surface is the state of mind cultivation.
I recommend that you read this book calmly - "Notes on a Mountain Dwelling" by Yu Qiuyu. You will also gain a lot of insights.
Self-cultivation requires not only a domineering appearance, but the most important thing is "inner beauty". This is also true for the so-called internal and external cultivation.
End with my favorite sentence: Don’t be happy with things, don’t be sad with yourself.
I highly recommend
