After reading 1 Reflections on the Cultural Journey
Reading thousands of books and Wan Li Road, the writer Yu did it. As the only humanist in the world who has completed all the on-site visits, he has made brand-new thinking and urgent reminders to contemporary world civilization along the way, which has aroused widespread concern at home and abroad.
This book thanks Yu Xiansheng for risking his life and crossing tens of thousands of kilometers to inspect a series of most important cultural relics, such as Babylonian civilization, Egyptian civilization and Indian civilization, and for his reflection and reminder of world civilization. More is the investigation, evaluation and thinking of Chinese civilization and culture.
The humanistic events described in the book are still vivid, among which the chapter "Xie Jia Men Kong" is the most impressive.
Xie Jin is a famous director. He was born for movies, and it was the call of movies that brought him to this complicated world. His life can be summed up in one word? Bitter. He has three sons and a daughter, but two or two sons suffer from mental retardation and lost their children twice in their later years. I devoted my whole life to the film industry, but I was called "something to be developed". But instead of being depressed, he faced it bravely.
When there are guests at home, Xie Jin always introduces his son and tells the guests about his son.
Xie Jin's son, who can't take care of himself, has been worried. Xie Jin often washes his son's face and shaves himself. The youngest son is ticklish and can't shave. Xie Jin coaxed and said, "What a shame." My son will let Xie Jin cut his beard. When his son's hair grew, Xie Jin went to learn how to cut it, and then went home to trim it and push it to show his father's love and care for his son.
When someone called him "something to be developed", he was expressionless. However, since then, I have an inexhaustible passion, complaining about other people's ideas: "You all say that I am old and it is time to take a back seat, but I have already told you that I am mature at the age of 60, and you do the math yourself."
"He is the instinctive cry of the creative subject, and it is also a kind of dignity that a powerful life needs to complete itself."
The beauty of world civilization brought by the cultural journey touched my heart and aroused my yearning.
Reflections on the Cultural Journey II
This is a classic work of China culture, which contains countless efforts of Mr. Yu. In recent ten years, Mr. Yu has devoted himself to systematic works on China's context, China's aesthetics and China's personality with a lot of investigation and research resources. He is a "contemporary master with high level of literary talent, knowledge, philosophical thinking and speech".
Yu's books, word for word, are the footprints of travel, with different shades; In a word, it is hundreds of years of stumbling, and the bend is very long; Page by page, like a spoonful of sweet spring water, like a bowl of strong hot tea, and we are extremely thirsty travelers. When I slowly taste it, there are always a few words worth repeating, which makes my feelings churn and there is an inexplicable love that reaches my heart.
In the book, the author takes every inch of mountains and rivers and every inch of land as the main line, expressing the author's joys and sorrows. The pen is delicate and memorable after reading.
"No matter how small, it can also leave a long shadow for the desert; No matter how small the number is, it can also make history spit out a heavy breath. " Let us know that people are not in appearance, but in whether you really work hard to persist, and success only belongs to your best self; "If you start without hesitation, you may not be able to reach the other side of the ideal." Let us realize that we should not only say, but also do, not only act, but also have methods; "Even if you are trapped in a ditch, look up at the nebula." Let us understand how bumpy life is, but even if we are deeply involved, we should be full of hope, believe in the future and love life!
Among the Cultural Journey, the one that impressed me the most was Huangzhou Breakthrough. Su Dongpo, Su Shi, one of the eight famous poets in Tang and Song Dynasties, was almost perfect in my impression, but he was persecuted in the long history. The persecution of such a perfect person can only be done by traitors. "Dongpo have what sin? The reputation is too high ",yes, people at that time were well known, and Su Dongpo was brilliant. Even her grandmother, Empress Kwang, tried her best to protect Su Dongpo, which shows that Su Dongpo is beyond the reach of ordinary people. But because of this, the emperor doted on him and the empress dowager protected him, and he was brilliant. Where do those petty officials look pleasing to the eye? I'm probably a little jealous. One person is jealous, two people are jealous and talk to each other. Five people, ten people and a group of people are enough to rebel. Although this is a counterexample, we can still see that unity is strength. Together, they finally tripped Su Dongpo, but Su Dongpo knew nothing about his "crime" and was suddenly taken away by some people, and his identity became a traitor. However, he didn't only care about himself, but thought about never involving his family. Is there any reason why Su Dongpo is not admired by the world? Love Su Dongpo, first of all, because of his talent, was born in such a chaotic era, and still has a strong interest in books and learning. Modern people, in this relatively peaceful environment, still have people who ignore learning. Imagine what they would become if they were born in troubled times. Secondly, Su Dongpo is filial and considerate of others. Filial piety is a tradition of China people, but how many people have achieved this word today? Su Dongpo thought about other people who should not be implicated after death before he died. This is a valuable spirit. In daily life, we also need to think more about others and avoid some unnecessary misunderstandings.
Cultural Journey has brought me a feeling. With his unique writing charm, Mr. Yu led me to wander in the ocean of China history, always leaving me with endless aftertaste.
Reflections on the cultural journey 3
Cultural Journey is a systematic work devoted to China's context, China's aesthetics and China's personality. The author compiled such a book with huge investigation and research resources, combined with in-depth investigation, personal investigation and effective communication.
When I first started watching "Cultural Journey", I didn't have much interest. The contents in it are just some introductions of civilizations, and even some academic languages are not of interest to me at all. However, as I went deeper and deeper, I found that the introduction of civilization also included the author's unique aesthetics and feelings. From this, I deeply realized the beauty of Chinese civilization.
Everyone knows the Great Wall of Wan Li, but they don't know that Dujiangyan, a water conservancy project more than two thousand years ago, is more wonderful than the Great Wall of Wan Li. With it, the changeable Sichuan Plain has become a land of abundance. Whenever the Chinese nation encounters a major disaster, the land of abundance always provides shelter and support calmly. Yes, this is Dujiangyan, a crystallization of the wisdom of ancient working people's names, and we all sigh for it.
Mogao Grottoes, a palace with a rich treasure of China's secular civilization. It is based on several major human civilizations, and generations of Buddha statues are deeply and popularly dignified in the grottoes, smiling, happy, performing, bitter and sacrificing. All these are linked with the history of China, and even become a hard history of stone carving. This is a kind of China culture, which contains the inner culture of China spirit.
"Brother, you go to the west, little sister, I really can't stay any longer." It's as if the sad songs of lovers are ringing in my ears again. It seems that all Shanxi businessmen who "went west" and traveled all over the country have such stories buried in their hearts. Cry or cry, sing or sing, go or go. I believe that the tears shed by those passionate women on the roadside have sown the initial seeds for Shanxi to become the richest man in the sea.
Do you still remember the story of Zhen Xuan's father, Zhen Yuandao, exiled Ningguta in "Harem"? Yes, Ningguta is such a place. These three words have almost become the most unlucky spell in the hearts of state officials. Anyone can fall into such a dark abyss in an instant. Compared with killing, this exile is a long-term torture. Loneliness kills your heart a little bit, which is worse than death.
I deeply appreciate China's profound culture. In this book, I not only appreciate the beauty of Chinese civilization, but also appreciate the customs of ancient life, the wisdom of working people, the talent of people with lofty ideals, and the fatuity and cruelty of rulers. In the author's in-depth study, everything in the book seems to be given life and fascinating. What we see is the vitality of China.
Before I read the whole book, Mr. Yu's national consciousness deeply touched me. When we appreciate the tangible "works" left by history, who will devote themselves to studying the unknown secrets behind this ancient site? And Mr. Yu did it. He used a wonderful pen to write the word "shock" into our hearts.
Close the book, go to the window and look at the endless stream of cars and people. Every now and then, a culture has been buried for thousands of years.
Reflections on the cultural journey 4
First of all, let me introduce Yu, the author of Cultural Journey. Yu, born on August 23rd, 2006, 1946, president of the bookstore of China Academy of Fine Arts and curator of Shanghai Library. China is a famous cultural scholar, theorist, cultural history scholar and essayist.
The book A Journey to Culture consists of three parts: a journey to China, a journey to the world and a journey to life. During the "trip to China", the author traveled all the routes of China culture, connecting the cultures of various ethnic groups in various regions of China, and brought us a colorful cultural feast. A Journey to the World was compiled after the author risked his life to travel tens of thousands of kilometers and inspected a series of most important cultural sites such as Babylonian civilization, Egyptian civilization, Crete civilization, Hebrew civilization, Arab civilization, Indian civilization and Persian civilization. Among them, he made a brand-new reflection and urgent reminder on contemporary world civilization, and the last "Journey of Life" was particularly thought-provoking. The author tells us what an arduous journey is through Xie Jin, Ba Jin, Huang, Chen Yifei and other cultural representatives and his own life experiences. Language infection is a sad and natural life that literary masters have to face, which makes people deeply understand. It's just that I don't know whether the short sentence "worship and sacrifice, memory and thinking, tears of joy" at the end of this book is the author's summary of past life, speculation about future life, or something else.
If I say my first feeling after reading this book, I want to borrow Huang's four-word famous saying: congratulations, what a pity! Fortunately, the author of this book is excellent and has written a good book. Unfortunately, I am not a good reader of this book. In the starry sky of thought, Mr. Zhou talked about the qualities that a real scholar should have. He said three things: first, he developed a hobby of reading; Second, formed their own reading interest; Third, have a high reading taste. Knowing that the above three points have not been done at all, I can only roughly say that there are many feelings in some books.
"The magic of literati can turn the obscure corner of Nuoda world into everyone's hometown." I think everyone in China will feel this way, and the places that they especially want to go to are always places where ancient literati and culture left deep footprints. Author Yu believes: "This is caused by the long-term charm of China's history and culture and his long-term influence on me, and I can't get rid of it." . I think the same applies to everyone in China.
Probably every natural landscape and human landscape needs some historical events to enrich and become a real monument. Ancient stones and blocks of wood can also deeply infect China people from generation to generation. The role of literati is to realize the cultural connotation and humanistic spirit of historic sites. Therefore, literati is also an element to enrich the connotation of historic sites. Without historical events and figures, people will only have: "How powerful nature is!" Or "How high is the wisdom and technology of the ancients!" Simple admiration will never lead to deeper feelings. The higher level of tourism is to understand the spirit of our ancestors and inherit and carry forward the traditional spirit of the Chinese nation for thousands of years.
The book A Cultural Journey is like a huge garden. As a bee, all I can collect is a little pollen. Please forgive readers who like to enjoy flowers.
Reflections on the cultural journey 5
With some thoughts, I went to Yangguan with Mr. Yu's hurried pace.
Mr. Yu said that he went to Yangguan for Wang Wei's Song of Fortress Besieged. As the old man said in the article, there is nothing to see in Yangguan. There are sand dunes, only endless beaches. Although I don't understand, I can understand this persistence, just like I enjoyed Pride and Prejudice and watched Jane again? Austin's works and all sequels. I am a girl born and raised in Jiangnan, and I have a special liking for water towns. To tell the truth, I'm really not interested in the northwest desert. Teacher Yu's insistence also aroused my interest in Yangguan, and I will go with him today.
I have seen the sacredness and mystery of the Mogao Grottoes with Yu Xiansheng before, but Yangguan, located in the northwest, gave me only vicissitudes and tragic. The vast snowfield is white, and there is nothing but emptiness. The snow here is not as soft as the Central Plains, and it looks very sad and heavy. The wheel of history has run over here, giving it unique vicissitudes and tragic. Even Hu Jia and Qiang Di were sad, which became the sad voice of the soldiers. The uneven sand on the ground is a bit shocking. These are tombs left over from ancient battlefields! Yu Xiansheng asked in the article: "I wonder if this starry sand pile has been exchanged by historians for half a line of pen and ink?" Naturally, there is no one. Twenty-five years of heavy history has just buried this mound. The people under this mound are all heroes who fought bloody battles to defend the frontier and resist foreign aggression. In blood shed, when the soldiers had no time to look back at their hometown and turned into sand graves, no one erected monuments, no one worshipped them, and no one even remembered them.
Standing on such an oncoming wasteland with the northwest wind whistling, looking at the overwhelming sand piles, Mr. Yu is a little staggered, his teeth are trembling with cold, and his nose is red, not to mention a woman who is used to seeing beautiful scenery and gentle Jiangnan. In fact, a cold is both physical and mental. But this is the sunshine, but Wang Wei can look at the green willows outside the guest house, gently hold the glass and chant, "I advise you to drink more wine, and there is no reason to go out to the sunshine in the west." Most of the literati who came to Yangguan were relegated here, and Wang Wei was no exception. But most of them are confident and open-minded, calm and serene, and have the demeanor of the Tang Dynasty.
They are brilliant, but they are not valued by those in power. Wei, a scholar, is absolutely unique in poetry and painting. He can only create some entertainment for princes and nobles in Chang 'an Palace and will not reuse it. What's more, it will eventually be downgraded. The Tang Dynasty can be said to be the heyday of China. Economically and culturally, great men, such as Li Bai and Du Fu, who are familiar to men, women and children, were not reused in the Tang Dynasty, and they were unhappy and miserable for the rest of their lives. When the Tang Dynasty collapsed when the Zhao Dynasty rose, Yangguan witnessed everything in history. Even if talented scholars abound, China's culture can't be carried forward in the conservative and decadent feudal dynasty. Look again, when the European Renaissance began, I don't know how many years later it was in the Tang Dynasty, but today's European culture is developing brilliantly, and a Mona Lisa's smile shocked many people at home and abroad. China, a scholar who should have contributed to the splendid culture of China, was stranded in the bleak sunshine. Yangguan or Yangguan, just because of too much sadness, finally collapsed on the spiritual map of the nation. There used to be a magnificent life and a broad artistic feeling here, but it was hidden in people's hearts after all.
Yangguan, magnificent and breathtaking, continues to be silent in history, bearing vicissitudes and sadness.
