Comments on the Tale of Genji 1 Introduce the Tale of Genji to me. When I went to the bookstore that day, I happened to see a big and thick book. The cover is a few beautiful women wearing kimonos. During the winter vacation, I finished reading this book with curiosity. The following is my feeling after reading it.
Tale of Genji is the work of Murasaki shikibu, a Japanese woman writer. When she was young, she studied China's poems and songs with her father and became familiar with China's classics. She wrote this book at the age of 22 and became famous at one fell swoop. This book, called A Dream of Red Mansions in Japan, tells the turning story of the prosperity and decline of the aristocrats in the Heian Dynasty, and shows the power struggle and helpless love life within the aristocrats. This is quite similar to the harem war drama that my mother likes to watch, except that the environment has become aristocratic. It exposed the decay and evil of the aristocratic ruling class and the inevitable collapse trend, and witnessed the development of history. It reflected the helpless status and miserable life of women at that time.
These days, I'm thinking about the story of the deep love between mother and daughter of two generations. Evening is beautiful, and autumn is good in June. Is a very interesting comparison. When Saixixi appeared, she was already a woman's mother, but it made people feel that she was the most naive woman in the book. And her daughter, Yuhao, is indeed one of the few determined women in the book, and it is rare to be indifferent to Genji's beauty. Liuhe and Qiu Hao are also interesting contrasts. Six emotions are the fiercest, but Queen Qiu Hao is as cold as autumn water. It seems that she has never loved anyone. Probably when I was young, I saw more entanglements between my mother and Genji. .
I glanced at this book and wrote down my feelings after reading it, but if I taste it carefully, it should give me a lot of insights. Now it makes me realize that beautiful people or things can't last long, and people often can't get what they want most. How many people in this world can have real happiness?
After reading the Tale of Genji, I didn't feel very special after reading the Tale of Genji by Murasaki the day before yesterday, but it was still of certain positive significance in terms of the time at that time. Some people call it the longest realistic novel in the world. Some people even call it a Dream of Red Mansions in Japan.
It reflects the characteristics of historical development by describing the political and dissolute life of the upper class more than 900 years ago, and a large number of words are piled up in sensibility. The style of writing is somewhat similar to that of A Dream of Red Mansions, but the poems in it are elegant. Genji Tale, as the name implies, is Genji Tale, which describes the emotional life of Genji General and his death. Mainly describes the growth and death of Sharla Cheung; The second half continued to write the story of Genji's son, but it came to an abrupt end without an end.
Although it is a rough reading for me, it is not difficult to understand the author's agile talent. The author has a good knowledge of China's Chinese characters and culture, and he can know a thing or two by quoting poems by Bai Juyi and others. The tragic fate of ancient Japanese women hidden in different stories in the novel and the constraints on their actions vividly reproduce the development history of Japanese society. But the article seems to affirm Genji's noble quality, but it does appear negative. Of course, due to the limitations of the times, there is no need to feel too guilty.
I looked at it quickly, but I didn't feel much. Read it carefully when you have time in the future. Cover the volume to comfort the purple department.
After reading Tale of Genji, it took nearly half a year to finally finish reading Tale of Genji, that is, half an hour or an hour before going to bed, so it took so long. I haven't read a book outside my major for a long time. Which book did you read last time, Kundera's joke or the book thief? I don't remember. I haven't written for a long time
After reading the first half of Tale of Genji, I was not impressed. All day is that kind of beauty, and this kind of beauty is beautiful, gentle and perfect; When I met Genji, I lamented how handsome he was, how intoxicating his fragrance was, how charming his posture was, and his talent made everyone feel dejected. After being with Genji, no matter how he moved on, he had no regrets, just like the cowherd and weaver girl in the sky once a year. Such books are rubbish in the eyes of Jia Mu, so the first half is basically not impressive. Only when Genji was cuckolded by the younger generation Cedar did I feel a little interesting, but to my disappointment, the author wrote Cedar vividly and died, which is really a pity for such a good younger generation. This makes my heart ache!
Everything can't always be perfect and smooth, so life will be short of excitement and the whole book will be dull. There are so many words originally described, which are estimated to account for less than one third of all. People have a deep understanding of pain and there are many words to describe it. So it's strange that there are so many words that have been used all the time and are not tired. Just like a dream of red mansions, I know this very well. No one is perfect, and things don't happen every time.
But the story of Genji's death is still wonderful. Especially the "all-angle" one, it's amazing. This chapter is definitely a beautiful and perfect story, which I think is comparable to Eternal Beloved. Two strangers were tortured by love, the last one was tortured to death, and the other didn't move on. However, if this chapter is understood separately, it is far from the style of the book.
Tale of Genji is a Japanese classic. It chooses the feelings between men and women as the theme, not war or politics. Junichi Watanabe said: "The way of emotional communication between men and women, whether in the past or now, has not changed at all. They always rotate in the same circle without any progress." The story of Genji is so successful because its emotional view conforms to Japan's unique lascivious emotional view, and at the same time it has the tragic similarity of human nature. This is one of the reasons why this work has been circulated to this day.
Different from other works, which are only love stories between male and female protagonists, Tale of Genji describes the love stories of Guangyuan's son and many women, including even the emotional entanglements between Guangyuan and his father's aunt and aunt. If measured by China's moral standards, the son of the light source is a typical "erotic maniac", but in his works, he holds a positive and praise attitude towards the son of the light source, which is regarded as a virtue, because this "lewdness" conforms to Japanese traditional culture.
At all times and all over the world, as long as there is love, there will be pain and sadness, and The Tale of Genji fully conforms to this feature. Whether it's the former crown princess, empty cicada, Ganuchishi, etc. They all have erotic relations with Genji and are infatuated with Genji, but in the end they are left out in the cold, or die, or become monks, their love is shattered and their fate is tragic, all of which hide the pain and sorrow of love.
The Tale of Genji, through the description of natural scenery, sets off the inner sadness and joy of the characters and opens the era of "mourning for things" in Japanese literature.
If the Tale of Genji is measured by China's moral standards, it should be banned. But if we study it from the aspects of aesthetics, emotion and influence at that time, we can understand its literary value and greatness. As Yasunari Kawabata said in his speech after winning the Nobel Prize in Literature, "The Tale of Genji has deeply penetrated into my heart." It can be seen that the impact on Japan is far-reaching.
Besides, Guangyuan and Sharla Cheung, two characters in The Tale of Genji, are ideal lovers of many men and women even by today's standards.
Comments on "Tale of Genji" 5 This book was written by a Japanese lady thousands of years ago, which is similar to Shangguan Waner's writing a book for Wu Zetian. The author's name is Murasaki shikibu, and it is called A Dream of Red Mansions in Japan, but it is seven or eight hundred years earlier than Red. Mainly based on the emotional stories of three generations of Genji family, and occasionally there are family ups and downs. I think this book is full of twists and turns. I watched anxiously and understood the ending, so I flipped through it and read it again. I thought the writing was really beautiful. I regret that I didn't appreciate it well, so I turned it back and watched it carefully, and so on. This book has the exquisite and beautiful style of Japan, and it is very pleasant to read itself. Have aesthetic pleasure.
It took me a month to finish reading it, which really hurt me. At this age, reading some attractive novels before going to bed will increase the excitement of brain waves and make me fall asleep for a while, but from another perspective, it shows that this is indeed an interesting book worth reading. Some time ago, I bought Ben Hayek's Road to Slavery, a kind of philosophy, which is a bit brain-consuming. For me, it's the way to sleep. I feel sleepy when I look at it. I'm going to grow old and put this high number on my pillow.
In the process of reading, I thought for a moment, not out of patriotic complex. Objectively speaking, the story of Genji is indeed a little worse than a dream of red mansions. First of all, from the perspective of brushwork, I can see that the place is delicate and graceful, but red is deep and beautiful. As far as the information is concerned, the source book is mainly the emotional history of three generations of male protagonists, and the knowledge points in the middle are poems when writing love poems, most of which are lines. Therefore, it may be wrong. ) Similar to China's couplets, two sentences are definitely not as good as our Tang Poetry and Song Poetry Yuan Qu. Most of the knowledge points involved are costumes at banquets, music and dance comments, monastic customs and Buddhist knowledge. Feeling Japanese aristocrats. Being a monk has many personalities. When I saw my brother Hugh in those years, I felt that he was completely persecuted by evil forces. It's pathetic to be dead. After reading this book, I realized that Japan was a monk that year. When the emperor abdicated, he became a monk. When the emperor's concubines failed, he also became a monk. A young lady from a noble family died in half and became a monk. But I feel that we have a dream of red mansions, including medicine, diet, poetry, clothing, architecture and religion. I read a book and learned a lot. Still from China, really.
I thought for a moment, it seems to be Japanese food. After half a day, let's take a look. A few pieces of fish, two dishes and a small bowl of soup, but the Japanese just cut everything. It's refreshing and beautiful on the table. Japanese food, architecture and clothing all give people a feeling of still life, and the lines are clear and bright, which makes people feel the beauty and poetry of life. Our Dream of Red Mansions is a feast of Manchu and Han, which is beautiful. Let people feel the beauty and vicissitudes of life.
This is really a good book. In the process of reading, I have always realized the word "beauty". The article is so beautifully written, it is really good, and it makes people feel like walking between the flower lanes covered with lilacs in the drizzle in early spring.
After reading Tale of Genji, I have been borrowing Feng Zikai's version of Tale of Genji from my colleagues for a long time. After reading it, I looked disappointed. Although it belongs to the classic Japanese classical literature, China has a peerless Dream of Red Mansions, so he always thinks it belongs to pediatrics. Coupled with the repetition of the language in the book, the accumulation of events and the loose structure, I feel very disappointed after reading it. Only the natural appearance in the book? Li, the talented prince of Guangyuan, with his romantic and affectionate personality, left something in his heart that can be recalled slightly, just like sweet sauce, which can emit a soft and greasy taste. As for the Japanese thoughts reflected in the book, there are not many things that can be seen because of their potential problems and their ignorance of Japanese history and culture. If you want to know the human geography and customs of Japan at that time, a single book "Tale of Genji" is not enough.
In the era of mourning in Japan, Genji's son, who was radiant all his life, failed to live his true self because he could not get rid of the ugly environment of cross-flow of desires. Under the conflict of imperial power, he also has the same confusion and ups and downs as Baoyu, but with the power and flattering magic, he can only act willfully and let endless darkness devour his soul at night. Baoyu, on the other hand, can always continue to be pure and beautiful, and will never allow disgusting filth to defile the holiness in his heart. Even if he is tired of becoming a monk, he must keep this belief in his heart!
Genji's arrogant and contemptuous attitude towards women can't add luster to his self-considered perfect appearance, but it casts a thick layer of dust on an originally kind heart, which makes him unable to understand the true feelings of "taking three thousand in a ladle of water" in front of many lovers, and can only follow the so-called "joy and happiness", but in the end it becomes the emptiness and pain of his life. Fortunately, there are exceptions, flowers are not picked, and people use her sincere and loyal persistence to let him enjoy a fresh fragrance in that false prosperity.
The Tale of Genji brings me a little sadness. At that time, women always brewed a tragedy for themselves, either giving in or leaving this world, which was really cruel. Perhaps the author Murasaki shikibu once made The Tale of Genji reflect the tragedy of the times in promiscuity and fraternity.
An unspeakable knot, a feeling of loneliness and disappointment naturally lingers around you and can't be separated for a long time. ...
Some thoughts after reading Tale of Genji 7 Many literary artists like to use the word "Tale of Genji" now, but few people know that it was actually imported from Japan and has a lot to do with Japanese classical literature.
In the history of Japanese literature, there is such a book that is said to be comparable to China's A Dream of Red Mansions, called A Dream of Red Mansions in Japan. This book has a great influence on the development of Japanese literature and is the pinnacle of Japanese classical literature. This is the legendary story of Genji.
This 850,000-word novel describes the scenery in Heian period and reflects the court life at that time. But what kind of court life does it specifically reflect? This is really I don't know, what a shock! I didn't expect such dirty, dirty and spicy eyes!
At the beginning of the novel, an old emperor and his concubines gave birth to a white fat man named Ichinomiya Hikaru, who is the protagonist of the story. The concubines died shortly after giving birth to their children. Later, the monarch grew bigger and bigger, and the longer and more beautiful. Everyone likes flowers very much! Like Jia Baoyu, he is a handsome, lovely and charming figure. However, if Jia Baoyu is romantic again, it is just "psychosexuality", but this palace light is not much better!
In other words, Ichinomiya Hikaru, who lost his mother at a young age, may be extremely short of maternal love, so he has an Oedipus complex. But no matter how Oedipus complex, you would never do such a thing! He had an unspeakable relationship with his stepmother, gave birth to a baby, and successfully cuckolded his father. Later, the prodigal son returned and married the daughter of the minister in power at that time. The relationship between them was not very good, and the minister's daughter died after giving birth.
Since then, the palace of the protagonist has been out of control, and the things he has done include but are not limited to: seducing big widows, little girls in the wild, pursuing old women, cultivating cute sisters, overthrowing sworn enemies and sisters, and jumping on nuns ... Of course, some people are very clear about strange girls and would rather die than be moved by his handsome appearance and sweet words. Therefore, in the whole novel, getting these girls is the only motivation for Ichinomiya Hikaru to live, and not getting these girls is the only pain for Ichinomiya Hikaru to live.
As the saying goes, good is rewarded with good, and evil with evil. It's not like you don't report it. Not yet! None of the women who fool around with Ichinomiya Hikaru come to a good end. Even Guangjun himself was given a big green hat by a handsome guy who rose in Ran Ran after his old age. It's really gratifying!
Of course, the occurrence of these things was not unrelated to the social atmosphere in Japan at that time, and the significance of the book "Tale of Genji" did not stop there. Students who want to know about Japanese heian period culture or how Ichinomiya Hikaru hunts beautiful women in the court might as well pick up this huge book and read it. I believe you will gain a lot!
After reading the Tale of Genji, I finally finished the Tale of Genji, so I went to Douban to read a book review about this book. People are most concerned about translation, structure and ethics. Let me also talk about my thoughts on reading.
Let's start with translation. I read Feng Zikai's translation, which is excellent. According to Lin's style, I can't finish this book quickly with such high enthusiasm. Spoken and living, with a faint taste of reading feelings, all the way down easily, without obstacles. This kind of thousands of pages of tome can't be kept high if it is too delicate and elegant. If it falls into the hands of people like me, it will probably give up halfway. From the perspective of women, Lin's translation may be more in line with Murasaki shikibu's writing style as a female writer. However, judging from the writing time of this book, as one of the earliest novels in Japan and even in the world, more texture will remain at a simple level, and the structure and plot setting of the story may be relatively mature, but the use and maturity of the language still need to be discussed. At that time, the delicate and elegant wording scale could not be reached. So the rich version is closer to the original. Of course, the rich version has also been ridiculed by Zhou Zuoren and others, but in general, I prefer the rich version. There are also doubts in the middle, that is, there are so many small poems that I can't bear to read them. Is it intentional translation or the original level of Haruki Murakami? If it is the latter, it can basically reflect the problem of language maturity. (I hate not knowing the original, so I can only make some guesses and speculations. )
First of all, the structure can be divided into two parts: A and B, and A and B can be arranged alternately. This can explain why I have doubts about the length of the space when reading. Especially the part of Tale of Genji, the middle length is not very long, basically within ten pages, but in the part about Kaori, the length is very long, and the paragraphs are also very long, more than twenty pages, or a whole page can't be written. And if Part B is written by the daughter of Tomozaki Murasaki, their writing styles should be different, but this is a translated version and there is no way to show it. What a pity!
Speaking of ethics, this is a confusing novel. Cousins, cousins, uncles and nieces, sons and stepmother, Lori love. According to today's eyes, it's strange not to be crazy! At first, I had a lot of questions about this, but seeing the characteristics of that era, these are understandable. When the era returns to the samurai era, moral prohibition is the most tragic. Whether it is an open period or a closed period, the victims in the middle are always women. There are only two ways out for women, either to identify with and submit to social ethics or to choose to stay away, but this distance is either death or becoming a monk, and there is no more way out. Empty cicada, for example, has the courage to refuse Genji, but her only choice is to become a monk to protect herself. For example, integrity, free from the entanglement between Prince Neo and Xun, can only choose death. When she was rescued, she could not get a new life, and finally she had to become a monk. Originally, she could have a better choice. However, it seems that the interpersonal circle is so big, and I wandered around and was still discovered. That Otokoyo, resentment can only be dispelled in extreme ways. This woman is a tragedy of love.
On the way, I also went to see the film "Tale of Genji" specially, because when reading books, especially clothes and hairstyles, living environment and so on. Can't correspond, can't attract * * *. With the confirmation of the image, you can gradually align the version, knee, casual wear and predecessor. Palace struggles, political events, etc. Just a slight mention. That era should be a peaceful dynasty as a whole, so that nobles had time to develop real estate, promote leisure and entertainment, push the trend, make mistresses, keep mistresses, and so on.
I read it in a hurry and didn't have time to chew it carefully. That's about it. Let's talk about it later when we have a new understanding.
After reading Tale of Genji 9, I feel that there are too many unpleasant things in my life.
Finally finished reading the Tale of Genji. Because I read it carefully, it took me a long time to finish it. The author rambled on about 1000 pages. Finally, I only remember the death of Mrs. Purple, the death of integrity. In particular, Upright's drowning himself makes people feel depressed and almost suffocated. It is full of ridiculous words, and a piece of paper is sad and tears.
Some people say that The Tale of Genji is a dream of red mansions in Japan.
People are parasitic between heaven and earth, just like ephemera, but it's just Fu's phrase, "Frost will chill my temples when misfortune strikes". Life is really boring if you think like this.
While watching The Tale of Genji, I told my husband how I felt after reading it. That's just some pessimistic mood. Later, when I saw that I was still reading this book carefully, he often disagreed and earnestly advised me not to read such discouraging words. Indeed, it should be a dose of poison for me. The difference is that the monks of a lot of characters in the article, especially Genji and Kaoru, have a deep influence on me, but they all feel that life is short and boring, but life is also deeply nostalgic. I see some people, especially their closest relatives, busy for life, struggling for life, endlessly regretting for them, but powerless. Well, what's the point?
Little people are like this, and their fate is in the hands of others. However, it is up to you to cry or laugh. It is always necessary for people to adapt to the environment, and the harsh environment can never accommodate a person. There should be nothing perfect in the world.
I remember playing cards very much. One person especially likes to complain about others. As long as the starting card stinks, he will sigh endlessly, make a hullabaloo about, and sometimes even throw cans and cards. The young man who partnered with him said that the cards he started must not be changed. What he has to consider now is how to make full use of the cards in his hand. What are the benefits of impetuousness? After all, it is useless. I don't know if others have noticed it, but I often remember this sentence and even take it as truth.
Things are complicated, and the unhappy ones are often eight. A person has to play many roles. The most important thing is to try to bring a comfortable smile to the people around you, especially the dear ones. To do this, we must first laugh happily.
Now I don't laugh. I can't laugh. But believe me, when I pick up the phone, I can definitely give my mother a bunch of laughter first; When my husband comes back, I will definitely shout for dinner happily. When the child comes back, I will fly down and open the door.
I hope so.
Comments on The Tale of Genji 10 The Tale of Genji is the only novel written by Murasaki shikibu, a Japanese woman writer in heian period, which has a great influence on Japanese literature. At the same time, it is also the earliest realistic novel in the history of world literature and occupies an important position in the history of world literature. Tale of Genji shows a broad picture of Japanese life in heian period through the life experience and love story of the hero Hiroshi, and profoundly reflects the social reality at that time.
In The Tale of Genji, Murasaki shikibu portrayed many typical female images, such as the innocent and gentle sunset, the warm and frank moonlit night, the passionate and persistent Otokoyo, etc ... Among them, Sharla Cheung, who is kind, gentle and tolerant, is the best portrayed by Murasaki shikibu. Sharla Cheung, with noble birth, gorgeous appearance, versatility, gentleness and tolerance, became an ideal woman in the eyes of Japanese feudal aristocratic families, but as far as her own fate is concerned, she is a tragic image without self. In the eyes of Japanese feudal nobles represented by Hiro, Sharla Cheung was perfect. She is of noble birth and royal blood. Marriage in feudal Japan paid more attention to women's origins. At that time, people thought that birth could determine a person's education and temperament. Commenting on Rainy Night, Zuo Matou said: "It is a matter of course that a daughter from a noble family is both talented and beautiful." Therefore, Sharla Cheung's royal lineage is also an important condition for her to become a "perfect woman" in the eyes of feudal aristocratic families. Sharla Cheung is a beauty, and an unparalleled beauty. No matter ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, the perfect female image has a gorgeous appearance. In the 28th episode of the North Wind, Murasaki shikibu described Sharla Cheung through the eyes of the evening mist. She is elegant and beautiful, and seems to have a faint fragrance. It reminds people of the beautiful mountain cherry blossoms blooming in the clouds in the spring morning. Delicate and charming colors are everywhere ... ". The author compares her to the cherry blossom, which is the first flower in Japan, which shows that her country is very beautiful. Sharla Cheung's versatility is also one of the conditions for her to become a perfect woman. Sharla Cheung's poems are particularly outstanding, and he is also good at playing the piano.
In the seventh "Greetings from Red Leaves", there is a description of Sharla Cheung, "No matter how difficult the song is, as long as you teach it once, it will pop up on its own". In the thirty-fourth issue of New Cuisine, she fully demonstrated her exquisite piano skills, and Wu also admired her piano skills. "I feel that the claw sound is kind and lovely, and the voice of backwashing is also very novel and pleasant. Its prosperity is no less than the large-scale performance of experts who take this as their profession. I didn't expect He Qin to have such a wonderful gameplay. " Sharla Cheung's talent is not only reflected in the piano and poetry, but also in the management of Sharla Cheung. When Genji was demoted to Sumeru, "Sharla Cheung was entrusted to manage all affairs, such as attendants. , and all the manor, pasture, land title deeds and vouchers in the territory are also handed over to Sharla Cheung for preservation "(the twelfth time" Xumishan "). It can be seen that Zhang Min has a strong housekeeping ability, otherwise Genji could not hand over so many important affairs to Sharla Cheung for management. When Genji marries Yincui gorge, it is very appropriate for Zhang Min to help Genji cook. Genji's son once praised Sharla Cheung and said, "This man is kind and everything makes me satisfied." For Genji, what attracts him most about Sharla Cheung is gentleness, gentleness, gentleness and tolerance. Sharla Cheung's obedience to Genji is unconditional. Genji was demoted to sumeru because of his love affair with Oboro jathyapple. Sharla Cheung not only ignored it, but also took charge of family affairs for him. Genji wrote a letter to confess his affair with Ji, but the reply was generous and ignored. In the face of Genji and Akashi's daughter, Sharla Cheung assumed the obligation of raising and tried his best to take care of Akashi's daughter. Later, Akashi's daughter trusted and relied more on Sharla Cheung than her biological mother Akashi. Sharla Cheung turned a blind eye to Genji's marrying Yincui gorge, though unhappy. Together with Genji's son, he prepared for it, took good care of everything and treated Yincui gorge well, and gradually put out the rumor that Genji's family would be restless.
It is such a perfect female image that makes me want to constantly improve myself, improve myself, and make myself an excellent modern woman in all aspects. I believe that through my continuous efforts, I will achieve such excellent results!
