After carefully appreciating a masterpiece, I believe everyone has a lot worth sharing. It is important to record it. Let’s write a review together. So how do you write a good review? The following is my review of Zhou Guoping's prose (generally 10 articles) compiled by me for everyone. It is for reference only. You are welcome to read it. Thoughts after reading Zhou Guoping's prose 1
"Life without examination is meaningless." - Zhou Guoping's "Quiet"
This sentence reveals the meaning and essence of many things in life. From the time of ignorance when people were born, people have been bumpy and bumpy all the way to the present. Without self-reflection, how can they truly grow up? No one understands all the principles of how to be a person and how to behave as soon as they are born. Self-examination is accumulation and development bit by bit.
Always look back and recall the yesterday you have gone through, and "examine yourself three times"; think about the pursuit in your heart, what kind of life you want and are satisfied with, Socrates said : "The pursuit of a good life is far greater than life." Seek a kind of progress, climb out of the "sameness" of the past, and start your next new "era"; only by summarizing past experiences can you gradually get rid of yesterday's slight " The shadow of "bad luck" glows with today's vigorous vitality... Self-examination is to explore the meaning of life and live a meaningful life.
However, the people who are good at self-examination are different from those who are immersed in the past and cannot extricate themselves. They need to recall and think, have ideas and focus. The latter is simply immersed in the distress of yesterday, which is quite world-weary and lazy, while self-examination is positive and is what each of us needs to develop ourselves.
Hua used a Zen proverb to say, "What we experience is life, but it is not life." Such a life should not be delineated by metaphysics. Life is the days we experience every day, but we experience life not by counting the past days every day, but by savoring the people and things we experience every day, and recalling the emotions and difficulties we encounter in life. In the same way as Mencius said, "When heaven is about to entrust a great responsibility to a man, he must first strain his muscles and bones, starve his body and skin, and deplete his body...", the little things we experience every day must not be encountered just for the sake of encounter. There must be a purpose, and wise people are good at discovering the profound meaning behind these details to shape themselves.
At the same time, just like the story about everyone having a magic stone to find when I was a child, we need to be attentive, focused, and persistent. The same goes for introspection. If you want to be good at using the "magic" in life, you must persevere and search for it with conviction. Otherwise, life without examination is meaningless, or in other words, you have not discovered its value. Thoughts after reading Zhou Guoping's prose 2
It seems that every holiday, the school assigns reading tasks. It seems that we students have no time to read except during winter and summer vacations. Of course, the books I read during the holidays are not at the same level as those I usually read. After all, who has the ability to write a satisfactory review after reading a science fiction novel or comic? So, my classmates had no choice but to pick up the classics that were usually just sitting on the bookshelves and read them.
I am much luckier. Thanks to my precautions, the thick book "Zhou Guoping's Prose" allowed me to use my time at noon every day to nibble away at it, and by the time I was on vacation, I only had a few dozen pages left. I just have to strike while the iron is hot and read it to the end.
The name Zhou Guoping is unfamiliar to many people. On the other hand, Teacher Zhou Heping, who is just a word different from him, is more famous. Mr. Zhou Guoping is a typical scholar. Writing books and translating foreign philosophical works seems to be all he does. His books or articles have nothing more than two aspects: prose essays and philosophical treatises. The former depicts the spiritual home of a literati, and the latter reflects his academic life. What I read was naturally his literary side.
Zhou Guoping's essays truly reflect the two words "sui" and "san". Each article is written with indifference, as if it flows naturally from the heart. His articles focus more on himself rather than on family and country affairs. It seems that he has always stayed in the realm of "cultivation" of "cultivation of one's morality, orderly family, governance of the country, and peace of the world". This seems not great enough. To use a cliché, it means "lack of social responsibility." However, if we measure it by the standards of perfect self-cultivation that he set, the world is so vast, how many of those "great men" who are running the country have achieved self-cultivation or even tried to cultivate themselves? Official corruption is an inevitable problem that every country must face. But if we abide by the strategy of "cultivating ourselves, harmonizing our families, governing the country and bringing peace to the world" and proceed step by step, how can there be any reason for greedy officials to gain power?
Everyone has his or her own task and position in society. If you don't carefully inquire into your own soul, how can you discover the place that society has already reserved for you? For us, most of life is unknown and needs to be explored; but if you don’t even know your destination before taking the step of exploration; or if you gradually lose your way while traveling, then what qualifications do you have to claim that you are yourself? Are you exploring life? The pace of progress cannot be stopped for a moment, and the lookout gaze cannot be relaxed for a moment.
Zhou Guoping uses his prose to teach us how to grasp the worldly attitude: we must not ignore worldly affairs, which is impossible and selfish; nor can we immerse ourselves in the world and lose ourselves.
If climbing the peak of life is analogous to mountaineering, then the best state should be: the body is climbing relentlessly, step by step, deep in the cover of the mountain, while the soul jumps out of the mountain to watch. The clear gaze of the reader points the way forward and never gets lost. This is obviously the realm of gods, and it is undoubtedly a luxury for mortals to achieve it. We can only settle for the next best thing and ask ourselves whether we are determined enough before each departure; stop regularly to revise, summarize the past and look forward to the future to see if our route has deviated. "Know thyself" is the guide for spiritual life.
I hope that I can uphold this Bible and never forget to examine myself. The scope of learning is not just as superficial as we experience it now. I hope that one day I can understand more. Thoughts after reading Zhou Guoping's prose 3
I have read Zhou Guoping's prose sporadically in newspapers and periodicals. I like his erudition and profundity, and know that he is a contemporary philosopher who loves writing and a famous Nietzsche researcher. In addition, I also know that he is a loving father and a most affectionate man.
On a beautiful day, I received two books from a distant friend in the mail: "Selected Prose by Zhou Guoping" and "Speeches on Humanities by Zhou Guoping". The latter book is thicker than a brick, so I Choose to read the first one first. This book chronologically selects Zhou Guoping's prose works from 1983 to 1998, when he was between 40 and 55 years old, the age from being confused to knowing destiny. These articles were written with the pen of his heart and are his most representative prose.
Zhou Guoping said in "Automatic Preface": "I have established a standard for myself (writing): I will write an article even if it is not published; otherwise I will not write it. In short, try to only write about yourself. I really want to write, be happy when I write, and write what I like. Once something like this is published, there will definitely be people who like it, and it doesn’t matter if it doesn’t get published.”
When Zhou Guoping talked about reading in "Everyone is a Universe", he said: "When I read something wonderful, I often can't help but shout out: This is my thought, this is exactly what I want to say, it was stolen by him Sometimes it’s hard to tell which is the author’s original intention and which is his own mixing and addition. The sleeping feelings are awakened, the lost memories are recovered, and the hazy thoughts become clear.” This is what I read in "Zhou Guoping's Prose." The feeling when selecting ".
Zhou Guoping's prose is just like the Ming Dynasty scholar Yuan Zhonglang whom he highly admires. He pursues the realm of "plainness and taste", and his eloquent prose seems to flow naturally from his heart. What he said was not the truth, but his own feelings, and this should be the level of "reaching the realm of enlightenment". Most of his articles discuss profound philosophical propositions such as life, time, and memory. However, philosophy in his writing is as fresh and lovely as flowers and grass, just like a travelogue of life, because he has integrated his understanding of life into his own in vivo.
Spiritually, Zhou Guoping is a very feminine man, emotional and thoughtful. "A person with a poetic temperament is often precocious intellectually and emotionally, but never matures politically. He always maintains a simple childlike innocence. He experiences the world and life with the innocent and simple eyes of a child. Constrained by habits and prejudices, he often has fresh experiences and unique discoveries. He evaluates worldly affairs with a child-like innocence and simplicity, and sometimes seems unsophisticated and inappropriate in the political arena. "This is Zhou Guoping. The sentences in the article, I think, he is also talking about himself.
I most admire the quotations in Zhou Guoping’s articles. There are famous quotes from ancient and modern Chinese and foreign celebrities at my fingertips, such as Nietzsche, Montaigne, Byron, Kafka, Emerson, Su Dongpo, Yuan Zhonglang, Kundera, Eliot, etc. Socrates, Tolstoy, Romain Rolland... seemed to be Zhou Guoping's good friends, gathering together in his home, chatting and laughing about the past and present. Zhou Guoping said: "The most difficult thing for a literati to stop is showing off." Is this a self-deprecation? Fortunately, his article did not lose its own voice amid the pile of famous quotes. Thoughts after reading Zhou Guoping's prose 4
When I read Zhou Guoping's articles, some of them were like his great joy for Nietzsche's works. I also had a great resonance with some of his views. .
Zhou Guoping’s guiding ideology on life is very simple. The first one is happiness. My views on life are the same as his. Since we have come to this world, we must cherish our lives and enjoy our lives. The guiding ideology here is to be happy. There are inevitably many difficulties and setbacks in life. To deal with them, of course we must choose to face them with optimism instead of being afraid to face them in pain. We are in our youth, which is the most vigorous period of life, and happiness is natural. Zhou Guoping wrote that he hates the kind of preaching the most, such as "if young people don't work hard, old people will be sad" and "you must endure hardships to become a master", as if the entire value of youth lies in working hard for future success. struggle. Yes, we always think that we will be happy in the future, as long as we give our best and work hard now.
Life itself is very magical. Why should we always push happiness back and give up enjoying the beauty of life now? What we don’t realize is that this is actually a denial of happiness. People only have one adolescence, and if you want to enjoy youth, you can only enjoy it during adolescence. It is true that you can still have some enjoyment after puberty, but the taste is different.
Of course, this happiness does not mean doing nothing and wasting your life all day long. This is tantamount to chronic suicide. Happiness is also filled with the sense of fulfillment that we strive for every day. This leads to the second guiding ideology, which is that "sustainable happiness" youth will eventually fade away. If you just enjoy yourself in the moment without thinking about the future, you will really be "sad". "Sustainable happiness" requires us to not only cherish the real today, but also give due consideration to the sustainability of happiness. In this way, we must rely on our hands to lay the foundation for our happiness tomorrow. The important thing is that happiness itself is not only happiness, but also has the ability to grow and generate new and more happiness. What does more happiness mean? It should be spiritual enjoyment, and one of the best ways is to read, and read good books. If we can form a rich inner world through reading and art, we will have an inexhaustible source of happiness. This kind of happiness will never become nothingness, it will always exist in our thoughts. These two guiding thoughts are complementary to each other. Reading was mentioned in passing. When choosing a book, pleasure is the basic criterion. Reading is just for pleasure, which is a very high state. A good book is a book that makes us feel happy, regardless of whether it is a bestseller or not.
He has a passage that I very much agree with, "I do not deny that reading is not necessarily just for pleasure. Reading for profit also has its reasons for existence, such as students doing homework and scholars doing learning. However, At the same time, I also believe that among good students and good scholars, the joy of reading must occupy a greater proportion. I also believe that protecting and cultivating the joy of reading is a more important task of education than instilling knowledge. Therefore, if an education prevents students from experiencing and enjoying the joy of reading, and instead regards reading as a complete chore, we can safely judge that it has failed. "We can form a hobby of reading, and the hobby of reading is related to the so-called "education". Studying hard is two different things, it is about fun. Bibliophilia is not the so-called "bookworm". What's important is a feeling of reading. If you don't read every day, it's like you haven't eaten. It can be said to be painful. I think those so-called "useless books" may be of greater benefit to us if we don't want to acquire skills to stand in society. In short, read more, read good books, follow your heart, and most importantly, make yourself happy. Thoughts after reading Zhou Guoping's prose 5
Reading a book actually starts with the title, then the table of contents, then the preface, and then the main text. The title of this collection of essays is very general. To understand the content, you must start from the table of contents. The prose is divided into several topics according to date. Judging from the names of the topics, it is very philosophical. There is only one life, and today I am alive. The distance to watch, each pilgrimage road, and quietness, each of them can be used as a proposition and written into dry and difficult to understand texts, but the title of each prose is something like Content close to life. There is tourism "tour + tour = tourism?" ", "Travel Squeezing" "From Bus Squeezing to Shanghai Is Not Home", and some about life attitude, "Consumption = Enjoyment?" ”, “Happiness is the basic standard”.
To express one’s philosophy of life from life, perhaps to be precise, it is to talk about some opinions based on the situations we usually need or the issues we think about. For example, in "Travel+Travel=Travel?" In the article, there are three questions such as "Where is the peaceful intoxication? Where is the true spiritual joy? Where is the blending with nature?", which leads to the thinking of these three questions from a tourism phenomenon, and these Thinking is not limited to travel, but our lives.
His articles are not only essays with stories and reflections, but maybe because I have read too many "Readers" in a short period of time, they basically add a story to a story and a little comment on the matter in the eight-legged format. Most of them are about beliefs, attention to details, etc., and write down a specific truth, but it is difficult for readers to think further on their own, and they lack "sustainable development". His prose at least combines things with thoughts, leaving readers with room to continue thinking.
His prose combines life and philosophy. Although the thoughts on life triggered by his prose are profound, they are not dry. I read a few pages of "Sophie's World" a few days ago. Although philosophy is placed in a story with rich plots, it still has the basic philosophy of "Who are you?" and "Where does the world come from?" Propositions require concentrated thinking, and perhaps some pressure on the mind. This kind of thinking is delicious. However, in Zhou Guoping's prose, it is a relaxing thinking experience to use life events and ordinary propositions to think about man, nature, and loneliness. It has the joy of thinking without the pressure of thinking. In my opinion, this is also one of his successes.
In fact, everyone has his own thoughts, which are contrary to social phenomena. "Why Prestigious Schools Are Necessary" is such an article. I remember Chen Danqing's article "The Reality of Education and Realistic Education", the theme is obviously the same.
However, Chen Danqing used the differences in education between China and the United States to criticize the Chinese education system, perhaps because of the need for the preface of this article, and "Why Prestigious Schools" expresses his own views through the description of his own childhood experiences. Zhou Guoping's prose, even the collection of essays I'm reading today, "Man and Eternity", all start from himself, usually in the first person (I have a comment in the excerpt), which is more subjective and less exclusive. Maybe there is peace with reality.
Perhaps the excellence of his prose is that he starts from ordinary propositions and expresses his own thoughts, which stimulates my thinking. Thoughts after reading Zhou Guoping's prose 6
Zhou Guoping is my favorite writer. I started reading his books when I was in my senior year of high school. Looking back now, his books have accompanied me throughout my senior year of high school, adding a calming spring of thought and philosophy to my impetuous mood. Zhou Guoping's collection of essays "Quiet" seems to be more pure and thorough compared to the "Watching" and "Pilgrimage" in the past. I like "Quiet" not only because of this poetic word, but also because I admire the state of "quiet". Zhou Guoping said in the book: "The best state of life is richness and tranquility. Quietness comes from getting rid of the temptation of external fame and fortune." It is this persistence in pursuit that makes me feel the incomparable tranquility more deeply. precious.
According to the usual situation, when the proposition of tranquility is in the hands of philosophers, it will always be deduced into a struggle between survival and death. However, Zhou Guoping can easily integrate the quiet atmosphere into every article and line of text in the book. As soon as I opened the page, I couldn't put it down. In Zhou Guoping's casual writing, tranquility has become a natural existence. The long-term refining and accumulation of age makes his heart fuller, and his life gets rid of impetuousness and gradually becomes quieter. It is precisely because of this that silence is destined not to be a momentary chance, but to find the most beautiful surprises from the deepest despair. This is a state of mature life.
Therefore, I usually choose to read Zhou Guoping late at night, light a lamp, make a pot of fragrant tea, and follow him to find peace.
Quietness is not something that comes by chance in a moment. Quietness requires the creation of the soul. In the catalog of the book, I discovered familiar topics that I had not seen for a long time: happiness, art, persistence, plainness, wisdom, death, existence... There are traces of philosophy and prose everywhere in the book. Sometimes the two are parallel, looking at each other and admiring each other; sometimes they intersect, blooming silent sparks of thinking, which is refreshing. In the book, there is not a word "an" or a word "quiet" in the word shell of the life experience he presents and the worldly insights that readers are concerned about, but without exception, they are all the shortest distance from quiet. What Zhou Guoping was looking forward to was exactly this kind of fun-filled tranquility. As long as I have fun as a companion in my life, I will not feel lonely and unbearable, because I will feel that this quietness has a unique taste no matter how I taste it. Thoughts after reading Zhou Guoping's prose 7
Recently, I read Zhou Guoping's prose collection. The beautiful language and philosophical stories in it deeply attracted me, and it made my life fulfilling.
The one that impressed me most was an article called "The Taste of Waiting". The article begins with "A lot of time in life is spent waiting." Indeed, from the moment we become embryos, we are waiting to be born; from the moment we are born, we are waiting to grow up; from the moment we grow up, we are waiting to be exposed to new things. We are waiting all the time.
The taste of waiting is also different. Or happy, or sad, or bored. But the only thing that is the same is that those who wait are on the passive side. That's what makes waiting so exciting. You have absolutely no control over what you're waiting for, and you have absolutely no thoughts about other things.
Waiting is different from different angles. Waiting in front of the door of destiny is survival and death; waiting in front of the window of livelihood. What we are waiting for is firewood, rice, oil and salt. Therefore, people feel different about different waits.
In fact, what we are waiting for is death in the end, but people seem to have forgotten this and are waiting for something else. It is this kind of thinking that allows us to continue to pursue, create, and develop our own lives. Give yourself something to do while you wait for death.
So, waiting is not only lining up to move forward, it is also urging us to do more things.
This book also tells me a lot about the meaning of life and death, the name of life, and the value of loss. It makes me understand life better and see the essence of life more clearly. I also felt the joy of reading while reading this book. I believe that only by reading more can we understand more. Let reading become our way of life, and our lives will definitely be enriched in it. Comments after reading Zhou Guoping's prose 8
Zhou Guoping said: At the beginning of the new year, I only have a very simple wish. I hope to have a house of my own far away from the city, with only a few necessary pieces of furniture in it. I will never bother to make phone calls. I will not leave my address to anyone except for a few very close and knowledgeable friends. I want to be there. Learn to live a simple life again.
Zhou Guoping’s words spoke my heart and aroused my strong screams.
Although, this kind of Tao Yuanming-style paradise is not easy for me to realize. But you can make it any size you want.
For example, if it is the second day of the Lunar New Year, you can give up going back to your own happy home and strongly request to work at your parents' house for a few more days. Use the few days of the Spring Festival holiday to live a simple and quiet life. In the past few days, I simply gave up drinking and partying with my friends, giving up singing passionately together, and giving up my favorite recent reading, Guagua, and just focused on accompanying my dearest mother, talking to her, and watching movies with her. Watch TV and do housework. When my mother takes a rest, I can calm down and make up for the reading thoughts I didn’t write down in the previous paragraph. Why not.
At this moment, it’s nine o’clock in the evening on the second day of junior high school. During the day, the children went back to their parents' home, and the big gathering was lively all day long. Now my mother is lying in bed and resting. I can also happily write my thoughts on reading. Mom’s house is so quiet! very nice.
I am a person who doesn’t like excitement. Sometimes, even though we are in a lively crowd, we are not in our hearts and our thoughts are wandering? I have a distant mind and prefer to do my job quietly, do what I want to do, and enjoy the people and things I want to appreciate in my free time. I never like to follow what others say or follow the crowd, nor do I like to complicate people and things. I like to be a simple person, and like to be dedicated and serious in doing things and living life.
At this moment, holding a strong cup of coffee, I stared blankly at the ceiling of my mother’s house. I was talking to my soul, and I was also seriously reading the book of my soul, and I was seeking to understand my mood. peaceful. It seems that I am lonely at this time, but actually I am not! Even if this simple life is lonely, this feeling of loneliness is so good.
Suddenly I remembered a song: Loneliness makes me so beautiful... Thoughts after reading Zhou Guoping's prose 9
It's been a long time since I read, or I haven't read it quietly and seriously for a long time. a book. Finally, I finished reading "Quiet" by Zhou Guoping, and I want to read it again. I have read Zhou Guoping's "Watching Distance" and "Each Pilgrimage Road", but I prefer "Quiet".
In the preface, Zhou Guoping expressed his rejection of worldly fame and fortune. He said: "I am not a person who is so refined that I refuse fame, but what is more important than fame is that I need to return to myself." A writer who realizes that he must find himself is certainly worthy of hope and respect.
Zhou Guoping is a professor of philosophy at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences and a writer. His writings are full of philosophical thinking. "Quiet" contains reading notes and travel notes, as well as lecture notes, random reflections, etc. It seems chaotic but is pure and quiet.
The author tells us the true meaning of life, love and care, and his thoughts on society and life through "Quiet". There is no word "an" or "quiet" in the life experience displayed and the readers' concerns about the world, but it builds a peaceful world for the readers.
Zhou Guoping said: "I am suspicious of all careers that are too noisy and all emotions that are too public. There is always a danger in a life that is too lively, that is, being occupied by the excitement, and gradually mistakenly thinking that excitement is life. , there is no life other than bustling, and in the end there is really only bustling and no life left. "The reality is indeed too lively. We have long been accustomed to running around in reality, and we have never had such tranquility and calmness. People's behavior is often driven by interests, and their desire for material things is above all else. Even a place like academia, which should be a pure land, has become a vanity fair. It is indeed not easy to stay away from the joy and craziness of the crowd and the feasting. It can be seen how precious silence is, and how difficult it is to maintain silence.
Zhou Guoping is a person who advocates a simple life but firmly guards his inner pastoral. Get rid of the temptation of fame and fortune in the outside world, live in a busy city without being disturbed, and have peace of mind. This is the true sense of tranquility. Only with a full inner spiritual world can we have a rich and solid life.
Great tranquility gives birth to great loneliness, and great loneliness gives birth to great wisdom. Wisdom and calmness allowed Zhou Guoping to achieve an inner transcendence and breakthrough.
This collection of essays combines philosophy and literature, as well as rationality and sensibility. It is so substantial that it allows me to savor life in silence... Thoughts after reading Zhou Guoping's prose 10
Books are the ladder of human progress. ——Gorky
I love books because reading seems to be a dialogue with noble people, and I have benefited a lot from them. I admire the rigorous logic and delicate emotions of celebrities. In their works, I feel their spiritual world, whether they are happy or sad. While reading, I felt as if I had become the writer's blood, flowing rapidly through every corner, and the words seemed to have become cells, swimming in my blood. I like this feeling, it can be said that I am obsessed with it, and the one who touches me the most is Zhou Guoping. I was deeply immersed in his world.
Pessimism
Zhou Guoping's prose is extremely delicate and philosophical. But in real life, fate seems to be unfair to him. His daughter died shortly after she was born and just started babbling. In order to express his grief, his regrets, his love and blessings for his daughter, he wrote a memoir. We can think about how Zhou Guoping felt when he was helpless to deal with his daughter who only shouted "pain" on the hospital bed. "How can we not feel that the heart is not wood or stone?" Most people are already on the verge of collapse, let alone him with such a delicate psychology.
How big a stir will be in his heart? Facing his closest relatives and loved ones, how much pain will he bear in his heart? I don’t know if I’m qualified, but I want to say: “I understand.”
Perseverance
In his prose, I understand a lot of truths and philosophies. Many of his works encourage everyone to have a spirit of persistence in life. He said that pessimism is only temporary and one must always be persistent in life. Persistence will save pessimism. Persistence plays a very important role in life. It determines whether people have the opportunity to realize the value of life. Life requires persistence, yes, any life requires persistence. Persistence is the most basic factor for success. He said that pessimism is a wrong path. Life that dwells on is futile. If you think about it for the rest of your life, it will still be the same thing, but you will lose the joy of life. But he also said that you can't just be persistent, otherwise you will get further and further away from wisdom. At the time, I didn't understand.
Detachment
I didn’t understand what he said, but I understood it later. A person cannot be persistent, as this will lead to pessimism. The more pessimism occurs, the less likely one is to be persistent. What to do? He said that he would divide himself into two, one for him to be persistent and desperate; the other for reality, let reality live, let persistence pursue, transcend everything, and become selfless.
Pessimism, persistence, and detachment are always three factors that exist. That is Zhou Guoping in my heart. I was deeply immersed in his world.
