After watching the dust settle, I feel 1 burning incense and cleaning my hands. I picked up the book with ink fragrance. In the long fragrant fog, I followed Loy into the world of "dust settled".
Everyone thinks that the toaster has a stupid son, but the stupid son's eyes that see everything can see through everyone's hearts. Fool, tell the truth, but no one believes him, including his parents. No one can understand the madness of fools. So fools can only laugh, laugh when they are happy, and even laugh when they are angry. Laughter became his weapon against the world.
The rise and fall of a toast family has become a scene in the eyes of fools. However, in desperation, the fool was dragged in and became a role in the play. A fool is playing his role seriously. A fool, because of his stupidity, said what others dare not say and did what others dare not do.
He lives in his own way. As the saying goes, "No matter how clever a person is, he is stupid". I wonder if he can judge a fool like this.
When the chieftain struggle could not be solved, the Han people intervened. Brought foreign guns, but also brought huge smoke, destroying people's body and spirit. Simple Tibetans left guns and planted poppies.
Beautiful poppy, it is not the source of evil. What is evil is that the greedy Han people who used him brought the seeds of evil to the beautiful prairie and took root in the hearts of Tibetans.
A fool is clever. When he felt that his death was approaching, he supported his wife rationally and faced death calmly. He knows that this is an irreversible life cycle, and it is time for him to take a curtain call.
Through the eyes of a fool, Alai described the rise and fall of a Tibetan Tusi family, unveiled the veil behind mystery, luxury and confusion, and revealed the essence of ignorance, poverty and bitterness. The toast family is doomed to decline and decline.
What needs to be added is that this is only a fictional literary work, and it has no significance to criticize the current shortcomings. People who love Lenovo and sit in the right place will not be responsible for the negative impact!
After reading The Dust Settles, I have a deep desire to explore Tibetan culture, which comes from my ignorance and interest in this close and mysterious culture. Especially when I went to Qinghai last year, I watched several documentaries celebrating the liberation of Tibet this year, and I found this unique novel related to Tibetan culture on the shelf. I couldn't put it down after reading it.
A Lai, a young Tibetan writer, won the fifth Mao Dun Literature Prize for his novel The Dust Settled. Based on the rise and fall of the toast system in Aba, Sichuan in the 1940s, and from the perspective of the idiot son of the toast, this paper tells a wonderful and tortuous story of struggle, showing a mysterious and romantic Tibetan style.
Maggie Toast has two sons. This gentleman's wife is Tibetan. He is brave, clever and brave, and is regarded as the heir of the toast. The second young master was born after drinking by the Chinese wife who was robbed by the toast. He is born stupid and ignorant. He was excluded from the succession of power a long time ago. He hung around among maids and beggars all day and witnessed the joys and sorrows of slaves. Under the guidance of Huang, the Commissioner of the National Government, the toast planted poppies and sold opium all over the country. He quickly became rich, and quickly formed a powerful armed force and became the overlord of the toast. Seeing that Maggie's family became rich by opium, the rest of the toast tried their best to steal poppy seeds and plant them widely, but the silly young master of Maggie's family suddenly suggested planting wheat, so the green wheat seedlings of Maggie's family stubbornly grew in the sea of poppies everywhere in the plateau area. 198 There was a severe drought in the mainland, and no grain was harvested. However, the supply of opium exceeded demand, and the price plummeted, and no one cared. Aba area is shrouded in the shadow of famine and death. A large number of hungry people defected to Maggie's command, which made the territory and population of Maggie's family reach an unprecedented scale. The fool got Tana, the beautiful daughter of Ronggong, the female toast, and fell in love with her deeply. Just as the toast of all walks of life was sitting in the sad city and was in a desperate situation, he heard the good news that the second young master opened a warehouse to sell grain and made a fair deal. Toastmasters from all walks of life gathered in the official residence of the Second Young Master to raise a glass and turn swords into pears. Soon a tent appeared next to the official village of the second young master, which contained restaurants, shops, pavilions, goulan and even a prostitute's spring building. At the suggestion of Master Huang (then Commissioner Huang), the second young master gradually established a tax system and opened a money house, and the prototype of a commercial market town with modern significance appeared for the first time in the ancient and closed Aba area. When the second young master returned to the official village of Maggie Tusi, he was cheered like a hero. However, at the welcome meeting, he had the chilling and sinister eyes of a gentleman. A bloody incident about the right of inheritance within the family has quietly begun. Finally, in the rumbling sound of the People's Liberation Army suppressing the remnants of the Kuomintang, the official village of Maggie's family collapsed. Disputes and vendettas have disappeared, and an old world has finally settled down.
? ? ? ? After reading the novel, talk about dust first.
The dusty life under the toast system is full of hatred and desire. Before the dust settled, the toast world was a net of hatred. In Tibetan, "ruling the sun"-"bone" is called caste, and "bone" divides people into high and low grades. The chief-the chief is in charge of the people-then Buck (the messenger)-and finally the domestic slave. The strict hierarchy suppressed a lot of hatred, including toast and toast, toast and his son, toast's husband and second young master, toast and toast. Even the seemingly indisputable living Buddha Jiaji and the Lama Bamen are sworn enemies. Hatred caused by power, interests, status, money, etc. Around the toast line.
Desire is the root of these hatreds. Because of greed, Chief Maggie fell in love with Yang Zong, the wife of Chacha Tou, and became enemies with Chacha Tou. So he promised to give Dorje Tsering the position of "culprit" and let him kill Chacha Turen, but he broke his word and hung Dorje Tsering's body on the execution pillar, publicly saying that he would be the culprit and was executed. After Chief Miki became the embodiment of "justice", he unconsciously planted the seeds of hatred, and his two sons became his enemies. They finally killed two sons of Mickey Toast.
Because of greed, Toast Miki introduced opium, and in order to monopolize the huge benefits of opium cultivation, he made enemies with the surrounding toasts and launched the "poppy" war.
Because of the greed for power, even the most uncontroversial Gaji Living Buddha and Bamen Lama have become irreconcilable opponents in the struggle for the favor of Maggie Tusi and the religious rights in Tusi area.
The young fool wrote two famous sayings about hatred in one day. One is Weng Boyisi's "Why does religion teach us to hate instead of love", and the other is from the young executioner's second aunt: "The executioner will not be afraid, but the executioner will not." The executioner used his power to persecute and kill on behalf of the country. No matter how miserable and hateful the victim is, he will not hate him and he will not be afraid. It is not the executioner who is afraid of the executioner, but the state power standing behind him. The executioner is like a plague in the chiefdom. People always think they don't exist, and the executioner's family doesn't want to associate with others. But the second young fool became good friends with the executioner's son, who others dared not approach, and went to his house to see the shocking instruments of torture, with power standing behind him. Upstairs is the prisoner's clothes, which are covered with blood and condensed with hatred.
? ? ? Besides, it's settled.
History is the most powerful and powerful promoter. The final toast system, no matter how it used to fly in this land, will eventually settle in the pure land of history. The wind is surging and the dust is settled. Just because there is a high tide, there must be a low tide. When the footsteps of the People's Liberation Army sounded, it was time for the McKee family to die. Explain the part to the whole and Tibet will be liberated. As a foolish young master, he finally died by the enemy's sword. When the body turns cold and the blood turns black, all the world disappears from the young master's perspective, and the dust finally falls. The toast system and the toast official village flew into the sky, raised dust all over the sky, and then slowly fell. With all the savagery, the common people living in the shadow of the toast, like the dust all over the sky, slowly settled, and the earth returned to tranquility and peace.
After reading "The Dust Settles" 3, fools have no philosophy, and treating stupidity as philosophy is another meaning, which is called playing dumb.
The second young master of the Mikey toast family has no name, and his parents call him a fool. My brother often pats him on the shoulder and calls him a "fool". When the wise man got angry, he shook his index finger and said, "What do you know, fool?" Some people even call him "Master Fool". Maybe a fool has no self-esteem, so this "fool master" admits that he is ridiculous, and calls himself "I am the son of the McKee's fool" .............................................................................................................................. However, the fool did several clever things unexpectedly. My brother suspected that he was "playing the fool" and said to the fool's brother before he died, "Do you know who I am most afraid of in this world? What I fear most is you. " Father was ecstatic about the fool's successful action and thought that he was "still as smart as a fool", but he shook his head and said, "After all, he is a fool."
Is the second young master of McKee's family playing dumb? Or is it really stupid? Smart readers are skeptical, and they will sigh until the end of the novel. "Stupid, really stupid." After Mickey's toast died, his enemies tried to attack his fool, the second young master. The fool actually lay in bed, posing for the killer to kill him. When the dust settled, he died like this. Even fools are afraid of death, right? No one would have thought of such deadly "stupidity". As a result, the TV series "Dust Settled" has an acceptable ending: Tibet was liberated, the toast became a civilian, the silly young master was old, and he accepted Hada presented by Tibetans with a "silly" smile.
First, hatred
The first hatred at the beginning of the story is that the second young master's wet nurse, like many servants, knows many secrets of the toast family and is no longer so obedient. She thinks I'm stupid, too, and often says to my face, "Master, bah! Servant, bah! " . This hatred is getting longer and longer, which shows us that the toast system is a system woven with hatred.
In Tibetan, "ruling the sun"-"bone" is called caste, and "bone" divides people into high and low grades. The chief-the chief is in charge of the people-then Buck (the messenger)-and finally the domestic slave. The strict hierarchy suppressed a lot of hatred, including toast and toast, toast and his son, toast's husband and second young master, toast and toast. Even the seemingly indisputable living Buddha Jiaji and the Lama Bamen are sworn enemies.
Maggie's toast is the main thread connecting all these hatreds: because he fell in love with Boss's wife and became an enemy with Boss. So he promised to give Dorje Tsering the position of "culprit" and let him kill Chacha Turen, but he broke his word and hung Dorje Tsering's body on the execution pillar, publicly saying that he would be the culprit and was executed. After Chief Miki became the embodiment of "justice", he unconsciously planted the seeds of hatred, and his two sons became his enemies. In order to monopolize the huge benefits of opium cultivation, he made enemies with the surrounding toast.
Toast Wang Bo asked his men to hide the seeds in their ears in order to steal poppy seeds. Maggie, the toast, never imagined that a small request made by the warriors of Wang Bo, "Before I close my eyes, my head will be delivered to my master", was actually sent to his hands. Since then, toast McKee has used this as an excuse to launch the "poppy war." Of course, this war did not give Miki Toast a monopoly on opium cultivation, and many toast territories produced beautiful poppies. If you ask where their seeds come from, the toaster will say in the tone of McKee's silly son, "It's the wind, it's the wings of birds." Around Maggie's toast, Gaji Living Buddha and Bamen Lama competed for favor and became enemies. Gaji Living Buddha, because he didn't see the situation clearly, described the second young master's uncle as the most suitable heir to the toast. Unexpectedly, the uncle of the second young master did not become a toaster.
After the new toast succeeded to the throne, the temple was rebuilt and the Bamen Lama was invited. Since then, Gaji Living Buddha has received a cold reception. At this time, it happened that another Lhasa monk, Weng Bo Yi, preached a new religion and got involved in right and wrong. The fanatics didn't see religion being involved in the power struggle. Protestantism without the support of Miki Toast is in trouble. Finally, he had to argue with Gaji Living Buddha. In the defense, Weng Boyi told the truth that all toasts didn't like to hear: "There will be no more toasts in the future." So he lost his tongue. After he became the assistant of Mikey's toast, he miraculously grew his tongue again and was able to speak. He also said something Mikey toast didn't like: the second young fool should be toast. So he made a second slip of the tongue.
Living in a world of "hatred", two silly teenagers have a set of methods to verify "hatred" For example, because I accidentally found that Wang Bo, the toast, ate poppy seeds with his ears, my brother occasionally showed a "deep hatred" for fools, because he could no longer be "smart", so he always said sarcastic words. Silly brother didn't know the inside story, inadvertently revealed that he was "unlike the McKee family" and slapped him in the face. Burying his face, the fool's younger brother always wants to prove that being beaten by a hateful person is painless, so he looks around for someone to verify it. People refused to fight, so my brother turned and left in a rage. Finally, the silversmith was rude and beat him with a whip. The silversmith hated him and thought that a fool had taken away his beloved Shan Zhi Zhuo Ma. The silly young master finally got the answer-no pain.
Second, wisdom and hatred.
Cleverness always wants to show its wisdom, but cleverness becomes a burden. In A Dream of Red Mansions, there is a poem "Clever Mistakes": "An official is too clever, but he misses the life of Qing Qing ..." This song is a metaphor for Xifeng, who is in power in Rong Ning. Smart people are best at calculating their own interests, organ failure, and eventually lead to hatred and death. This gentleman of Maggie's family has made a lot of efforts to show his cleverness, and also obtained the orthodox inheritance right. He was belligerent and easy to kill, and was finally killed by the hatred he attracted.
The second year of McKee's family thought he was a fool. He tasted the benefits of being a fool. No matter what he did wrong, others will understand: "He is a fool", and smart people will pay for his behavior. A fool's brother won't compete with his brother for inheritance, so he naturally gets his love. When the fool was given independent decision-making power, he unexpectedly made a clever decision: when other toasts were planting poppies, he decided to plant wheat; When others were threatened by famine, he bought food and made a lot of money. And stir-fry wheat for the hungry every day, and finally, without firing a shot, several villages of Chebara toast were submitted, and Chebara toast willingly sent the seals of these villages; In exchange for food, he married Tana, the beautiful daughter of Rong Gong Tusi. When all the good luck came to this fool, his brother was jealous, and the hatred between him and his brother began. Now it's time to answer the question whether the second young master is smart or stupid. The gentleman said he was "playing dumb". Weng Boyisi, whose tongue is about to be cut off, said, "Everyone says that young master is a fool, but I want to say that young master is a smart man because he is stupid."
What is the cleverness of this fool?
His stupidity dissolved hatred.
No one will hate a fool, even the enemy will not kill him; Only a fool will give the best weapon to the enemy and make them hate each other; Only a fool would tear down the solid wall and turn it into a market. Why doesn't this fool want to kill the murderer exposed under his nose? You want to end your life in a stupid way? He thought that when he died, there would be no hatred in the world. Finally, everything turned to dust-the dust settled. Ending hatred is the philosophy of fools.
There is another way to dissolve hatred: the Lama casts spells to guide all kinds of curses and hidden hatred to toast the dough-can dough people dissolve hatred?
A fool said to a devout believer, "Why do you hate each other?"
After meditation, Weng Bo Yi, a devout believer, has little hatred for other sects, but he must also face the hatred of other sects. Hate, you can not hate, but you can't stop others from hating. Believers say to themselves, "Why does religion teach us to hate instead of love?" -After religion is involved in the power struggle, love and hate cannot be surpassed.
After unloading the burden of cleverness, cleverness gradually became cold and quiet. The wise man sighed and said "it is difficult to be confused". Some people nearby said that the wise man was "smarter than a fool". In fact, this is just another clever way. In fact, being smart is very tiring.
Third, power, wisdom and hatred.
Smart people finally gain power, power creates hatred, and hatred eventually destroys smart people. Power is frightening, and those in power are never afraid-many so-called state powers are piled up with hatred. When hatred accumulates, fewer and fewer people are afraid, and power will be destroyed along with smart people.
The fool wrote two famous sayings in one day. One is Weng Boyisi's "Why does religion teach us to hate instead of love", and the other is from the young executioner's second aunt: "The executioner will not be afraid, but the executioner will not." The executioner used his power to persecute and kill on behalf of the country. No matter how miserable and hateful the victim is, he will not hate him and he will not be afraid. It is not the executioner who is afraid of the executioner, but the state power standing behind him. The executioner is like a plague in the chiefdom. People always think they don't exist, and the executioner's family doesn't want to associate with others. But the second young fool became good friends with the executioner's son, who others dared not approach, and went to his house to see the shocking instruments of torture, with power standing behind him. Upstairs is the prisoner's clothes, which are covered with blood and condensed with hatred.
A fool doesn't know fear, but he knows hatred. A fool has no desire for power, and power is taught to him by a wise man. After the second little fool returned triumphantly from the border, the father of the little executioner said with emotion, "My son followed you!" " "Mr. Lang Ze Lang's mother kowtowed on his shoes with a runny nose and tears, and his wife Tana hoped he could propose a toast. So the fool said, "I want to be toast, too!" "Originally, this toast is for others. A toast was presented to him: the dumb clerk Weng Bo Yi suddenly spoke, and Gaji Living Buddha said it was a revelation from God. In an instant, everyone helped him up and rushed out of the official village, flattening the wheat fields outside the official village. At this moment, power was lost to him, and he didn't control the direction of the crowd, otherwise he would have been sitting in the position of toasting.
Father and brother began to hate him, and his wife Tana also hated him for being a fool and having an affair with his brother. The fool began to hate. He took a purple bloodstained garment from the executioner and put it on him. This bloody coat, with the hatred of previous lives, attached to this fool like a ghost, so the fool had unprecedented courage. Sheriff Mackey was scared and thought he saw a dead man. He was sick with fear. Finally, the timid killer got this bloody coat and put it on his body. This dress bears all the old and new hatred of the toast system. He didn't dare to be afraid of the power of toast, so he summoned up the courage to kill the future toast, sir.
Power is always used by smart people to create hatred. The era when fools use power is the era when the world has no power, and everything depends on people's autonomy. The Analects of Confucius: Governing by doing nothing, obeying and respecting it. Governing by doing nothing is an era when the world has no right. Of course, Shun Di the Great was not a fool, but a kind man who could not bear grudges. The second young fool can tear down the wall of combat readiness and invite all the enemies to the stockade of this border officer to make a toast.
The chief's power is hereditary, as are the executioners and clerks. The third generation of clerks wrote straight books. After being killed by the toast, there was no clerk, but the executioner was still there. Mr. Lang Ze Lang envied the young executioner Er Yi, who could kill at birth, and said angrily, "This world is really unfair!" Someone said, "Is it fair to propose a toast when someone is born?" Mr. Lang Ze Lang was speechless. Hereditary, broke many people's bad ideas and calmed many fights, just like the second young fool wants to be a fool with peace of mind.
Fourth, desire and temptation.
There is no love in this book, only desire, many naked desires. A fool's desire to express himself is direct, because he is stupid. After meeting Tana, he really wanted to sit down and talk, as if he had found his own love. And this beautiful woman is not loyal, betraying him many times, and the fool is heartbroken. Beautiful women, like poppies, are poisonous and make people feel drugged. In fact, there is an ominous sign at the beginning of the novel. People were drugged by poisonous poppies. Chief Maggie killed his loyal tea head for a beautiful woman. Yang Zong seldom speaks and has no hatred. He just attracted the man with supreme power with his beauty. As predicted by Gaji Living Buddha, all disasters originate from the beautiful and poisonous poppy, and the temptation from beauty makes people unable to refuse, and their desires are numb and their minds die.
This border town is infected with syphilis that has never been seen in this land, which is brought about by the temptation of desire. The second young fool didn't understand the temptation of the world at first, but after Natalie was around, he was confused: from a fool to a madman, a madman turned back to a fool, which was completely different from the TV series "The Dust Settles". Love, power, hatred, desire and temptation are intertwined and turned into drugs as beautiful as poppies, which make people want to stop for a long time and hurt their spirits.
The fool's mother swallowed a lot of opium before she died, and she died painlessly. Before she died, she told her life story: she was a prostitute, from a humble woman to a toast wife, and became a serious woman.
The fool was killed by his enemy when he was lying in bed. That knife, sharp knife, like a piece of ice, plunged into my stomach. No pain, but the ice is very cold. Soon, the ice began to get hot. A fool is drugged, and it is hatred that anesthetizes him, because the person killed by hatred-does not hurt. Blood dripped on the floor, and the master's friend said goodbye; The fool's soul bid farewell: desire, temptation, power, wisdom and hatred. He finally wanted to call Tana, but he didn't.
Read the novel The Dust Settled by Alai, the winner of the 5th Mao Dun Literature Prize and a young Tibetan writer. The story is about a prominent Tibetan toast in Kangba. After drinking, I gave birth to a stupid son with my Han wife. Everyone thinks that a fool is incompatible with real life, but he has a premonition and action beyond the times and has become a witness to the rise and fall of the toast system. The story of this novel is wonderful and tortuous. With passionate pen and ink and detached eyes, it shows the rich national customs and the romantic mystery of the toast system.
Maggie Toast has two sons. This gentleman's wife is Tibetan. He is brave, clever and brave, and is regarded as the heir of the toast. The second young master was born after drinking by the Chinese wife who was robbed by the toast. He is born stupid and ignorant. He was excluded from the succession of power a long time ago. He hung around among maids and beggars all day and witnessed the joys and sorrows of slaves. Under the guidance of Huang, the Commissioner of the National Government, the toast planted poppies and sold opium all over the country. He quickly became rich, and quickly formed a powerful armed force and became the overlord of the toast. Seeing that Maggie's family became rich by opium, the rest of the toast tried their best to steal poppy seeds and plant them widely, but the silly young master of Maggie's family suddenly suggested planting wheat, so the green wheat seedlings of Maggie's family stubbornly grew in the sea of poppies everywhere in the plateau area.
198 There was a severe drought in the mainland, and no grain was harvested. However, the supply of opium exceeded demand, and the price plummeted, and no one cared. Aba area is shrouded in the shadow of famine and death. A large number of hungry people defected to Maggie's command, which made the territory and population of Maggie's family reach an unprecedented scale. The fool got Tana, the beautiful daughter of Ronggong, the female toast, and fell in love with her deeply. Just as the toast of all walks of life was sitting in the sad city and was in a desperate situation, he heard the good news that the second young master opened a warehouse to sell grain and made a fair deal. Toastmasters from all walks of life gathered in the official residence of the Second Young Master to raise a glass and turn swords into pears.
Soon a tent appeared next to the official village of the second young master, which contained restaurants, shops, pavilions, goulan and even a prostitute's spring building. At the suggestion of Master Huang (then Commissioner Huang), the second young master gradually established a tax system and opened a money house, and the prototype of a commercial market town with modern significance appeared for the first time in the ancient and closed Aba area. When the second young master returned to the official village of Maggie Tusi, he was cheered like a hero. However, at the welcome meeting, he had the chilling and sinister eyes of a gentleman. A bloody incident about the right of inheritance within the family has quietly begun. Finally, in the rumbling sound of the People's Liberation Army suppressing the remnants of the Kuomintang, the official village of Maggie's family collapsed. Disputes and vendettas have disappeared, and an old world has finally settled down.
What impressed me the most was the second young master, who was particularly legendary. He foresaw the fate of the Maggie Tusi family. When people were scrambling to grow poppies, he chose to grow wheat. He actually opened a warehouse for toast Rong Gong and accidentally married a beautiful wife. The enemy Taoist priest strangled him at home, and he was fearless. When he heard that his father was going to pass the toast to his younger brother, he didn't have much mixed feelings of sadness and joy. His betrayal of Tana was quietly ignored. He hired someone else. He has expectations for love, and he feels sorry for Tana for not loving herself. He treasures his family. Perhaps his brother's love for him turned to hate after he came back from the north, but when his brother told him in tears, he was still in tears.
When the Production Party came to liberate Tibet, he could have gone by himself, but he went back to see his parents. He saw his father's tears of relief and knew that he loved his father. I hope the fool is still a little silly after all, so that he won't be so sad. "Blood will slowly turn into the color of night on the floor." In this way, a fool's life is like dust that once danced in the sun. When everything was relatively still, he finally stopped with a sigh, but I hope his soul will come to a transparent world without shadow, where there is no dust and it will not stop. He will only be a fool and live freely.
History is the most powerful and powerful promoter. The final toast system, no matter how it used to fly in this land, will eventually settle in the pure land of history. The wind is surging and the dust is settled. Just because there is a high tide, there must be a low tide. When the footsteps of the People's Liberation Army sounded, it was time for the McKee family to die. Explain the part to the whole and Tibet will be liberated. As a foolish young master, he finally died by the enemy's sword. When the body turns cold and the blood turns black, all the world disappears from the young master's perspective, and the dust finally falls. The toast system and the toast official village flew into the sky, raised dust all over the sky, and then slowly fell. With all the savagery, the common people living in the shadow of the toast, like the dust all over the sky, slowly settled, and the earth returned to peace and tranquility. Share:
