Reflections on Thoreau's Walden Lake

Introduction: The necessities of life are all that human beings need to rely on hard work to get. Food, clothing and shelter. Next, I sorted out Thoreau's thoughts on Walden. I hope you like the article! Thoughts on Thoreau's Walden

"Although I am not rich in the world, I have countless sunny days and summers." I think this is a lonely book.

This book describes the story of Thoreau who built a cabin by Walden Lake in his hometown of Concord and lived a poetic and philosophical life.

The book doesn't use too many flowery words, but it vividly depicts the scene at that time, a scene of longing for Walden Lake in my heart.

Thoreau proved to people with his own practice that we can still live well and happily without many things. His views may not be completely in line with modern people's ideas and practices, but I think there are still many places to refer to.

The author doesn't want to express any child of nature whom he deeply loves, not even himself. After living in the forest for so many years, he used his hands and feet to describe the surrounding flowers and trees, farmland and lakes, fish and rabbits or sunshine, breeze and rain, and felt the nature with his heart. Everything in nature has life in his heart. His language is extremely comfortable for nature, his views on society are naked and mean to people's hearts, and his emotions are extremely delicate and true.

Perhaps the best and truest thing he awakens in people's hearts is a primitive view and emotion of things without self-deception, and a respect and love for nature. Let you be frank and sincere for no reason. This is why people love this book.

material simplicity is extremely simple, and spiritual richness is substantial. This is my final comment on this book. Thoughts on Thoreau's Walden

Walden was written in the 19th century in America. At that time, following the political independence, the United States was truly independent in spirit and culture, but it was also a bizarre era.

most people live a life of silence and despair-resignation is deep-rooted despair. But other sober people know that nothing can stop the sun from rising. At the same time, Walden Lake also welcomed a friend who made a swift retreat. He was Thoreau.

he is pure and free. Won't you feel lonely after living alone for two years and two months? Thoreau wouldn't, because he had already become close friends with himself. Describe the interest of natural beauty in words and love nature with your heart. He is a part of nature. Unload the noise of the city and install the original happiness-the sky is the chessboard star and the earth is the pipa road. Being alone gives him more time to practice himself and read the wisdom of life with real spirit.

"I seem to have my own sun, moon and stars, and a small world that belongs only to me."

he is brave and heroic. While people are trying to cast the shackles of their own money, Thoreau is trying to throw away the material. He rebelled and boldly suggested that the more things a person can put down, the richer he will be. This is not to make us live frugally, but to try to warn us with our short life-to simplify material desires, pay attention to spiritual emptiness, reduce the pursuit of similar warmth, and free up time and spirit to go deep into life.

This is his unique way of "frugality". "I'd rather stay awake all the time, and the ways of intoxication are endless."

Thoreau also recorded many of these crystal-clear thoughts. The end point is the starting point, and the cycle of four seasons is the awakening and sleeping of life.

We still live in an impetuous era. With the rapid development of material, the desire is unprecedented and complicated. How many people have become slaves of life, and life is a castle built by disappointment, even a wall built by despair. Instead of this, why not abandon these worthless impetuous, but also a clear soul. Although you can't choose seclusion like Thoreau, give yourself more time to return to nature. It is quiet and reassuring.

I have to compare Thoreau to a tree. We can understand this sentence from the whole meaning of the tree-it keeps branching in generate, it flourishes, it tries to penetrate into the roots deep in the soil and the green leaves that bear the sunshine and rain, especially its independence. He can be as independent and free as a tree, grow and grow, and finally flourish and be pure and powerful. Let's do one thing wholeheartedly. We should be ourselves and our own Thoreau.

close the cover, the night is already deep. I seem to have attracted a clear spring from that distant lake, which quietly merged into my chest, and there is also a small "drop given by God" in my heart, which always cleanses my heart and makes it simple.

As Mr. He Huaihong said in the preface, "There are as many windows as there are in the world." I'm still shallow in reading, and I'm still shaping my life. Thoreau's thoughts on Walden

After reading most of Walden, to be honest, I can't understand many paragraphs, but those chapters about animals are interesting and refreshing. The first animal that attracted people's attention was the rooster, and the most common poultry suddenly looked pitiful in the author's pen. Thoreau, the author, described them as follows: Cocks were originally pheasants, and their crowing is the most beautiful music in the world, which is better than all other animals. Unfortunately, most of the time it is their wives, hens, who make up the gap in their voices. It is no wonder that they can only be poultry in the end, not to mention chicken legs and eggs. These words can't help but make people desperately want to recall the music of the rooster's morning crow, and the result is actually at a loss, except for the mechanical "oh-oh" sound from writing. As for the hens, I only remember that they "giggled" and kept barking after each laying. How can Walden Lake have so many wild animals? It seems that the author greets them casually every day.

There are familiar ants, but the ants there are so like soldiers. That ant war really makes people dare not underestimate the tiny creature. Lovely pitiful partridge chicks, they only obey their mother's and their own instincts. Their plump feathered bodies are integrated with dead leaves and branches, and they can stay there in the same posture. When a stranger picks it up or steps on it, it still stays motionless like that, or looks at you with pure eyes. Of course, the most funny thing is the diving bird, which always laughs wildly. When it dives from one end of the lake to the other, it greatly teases the hunters or observers. What kind of bird is that? A bird that can go deep into the fish at the bottom of the lake. After all, human beings are also animals, just advanced animals. The author predicts that the result of human progress will inevitably be to give up meat, just as barbarians gave up the bad habit of cannibalism after approaching civilization. I don't know if humans will give up meat one day, but I'm curious about the rabbit's sound. In the book, the author said: When the rabbit came to the end, it really cried like a child. About rabbits, the deepest impression is that a rabbit hit the trunk, but we didn't see a poor rabbit being chased in our words.

more than 16 years ago, an American named David Thoreau lived in seclusion by Walden Lake for three years, built a hut by himself, fished, cultivated, meditated and wrote, and finally gave birth to a great collection of essays, Walden Lake, which deeply influenced a generation and was read by many great men. Today, the book still shines brightly and has far-reaching influence. This book has also been selected as "25 books that shape readers" by the Library of Congress. This book was written in the mid-19th century, when capitalism was developing rapidly. Under the historical background at that time, the author was so maverick that he embarked on such an extraordinary journey with a simple and innocent heart. This courage and boldness are admirable, and I am even more impressed by Thoreau's pure thoughts that are not polluted by the secular atmosphere!

This clear thought is like a fresh breeze passing through the hearts of all people who have read this book, which can not help but make people feel refreshed. He wants to let people know that there is another life in this world besides pursuing material life, that is, simple living, which can bring great happiness! Material life is really tempting. With money, you can do whatever you want. There are gorgeous villas, advanced private cars, sumptuous meals, dazzling clothes and jewels, and so on. So people are always pursuing wealth, and after having considerable money, they want more and more endlessly. Until he is old, he will realize what role he plays in his life. This reminds me of a story. A fisherman makes a living by fishing all day. He only catches a few fish to eat for one day every day and then basks in the sun leisurely by the sea. One day, a rich man saw him basking lazily and went over to criticize the fisherman for being lazy. The rich man said, "Why don't you engage in aquaculture?" How much money can you earn in a few years! " The fisherman said, "Why do you earn so much money?" The rich man said, "in this way, you don't have to go fishing every day!" "The fisherman asked," What shall I do every day if I don't go fishing? " The rich man looked very proud and said, "You can enjoy the sun leisurely all day!" "

the fisherman said, "I am enjoying the sunshine at leisure now, aren't I?" Rich people are speechless. Generally speaking, I think the only people who are willing to live a secluded life like this are the Orientals, and now I even doubt whether there are any such hermits in the East, as if such figures can only live in distant ancient times. I often think so. If I live in ancient times, I would like to live that kind of mountain life, a hundred mountains and no bird, a thousand paths without a footprint, a little boat, a bamboo cloak and an old man fishing in the cold river-snow. The mountains are lush, the secluded path is vague, the mountains and lakes are quiet, the purple fog is filled, the boat is lonely and the river is cold, and the snow and ice are falling. It is fascinating to think about it! However, can people who can live this life carefree really exist? Most of the hermits in ancient times were scholar-officials who were frustrated in officialdom. How can ordinary people have this luxury, and their families are young and old, so they can leave them alone and travel around the rivers and lakes by their own temperament! Obviously, you can't, so it's really unrealistic to live in seclusion, whether in ancient times or today. David Thoreau, the author of Walden Lake, only re-entered the WTO after three years of living in the mountains. Even so, this experience is precious. Who can spend three years trying this kind of simple living and burn his mind with interest?

Harding once said that Walden is rich in content and far-reaching. It is an authoritative guide to simple life, a true description of nature, a crusade against the money society, a literary masterpiece handed down for a long time, and a holy book. Between the lines of Walden Lake, Thoreau's love for Walden Lake, his love for the cabin, his love for the forest, his love for the small animals in the forest, and his love for all things in nature is full. What a sentiment! When reading this book, I often try to put myself in Thoreau's position. I feel that at that time I lived sincerely. Without affectation and affectation, everything in the book was so natural. The so-called spiritual purification refers to this! What is even more impressive is that every time you read it, you will have a brand-new feeling. The plain sentences contain the deepest philosophical thoughts, and many places have to read them repeatedly to realize the richness of their feelings!

"I am proud that a visitor used yellow walnut leaves as a business card and wrote a few poems by Spencer on it. I regard it as my humble inscription: people come here and enrich the hut without extra hospitality, and rest is a feast. Everything goes with the flow, and the noblest soul is the most comfortable. "I hope that when our farmers cut down a forest, they can feel the same awe as the ancient Romans felt when they thinned the trees in a sacred forest to make it light, because they felt that the forest belonged to some gods." "There are 1 people chopping down the branches of evil, but only one person is chopping down the root of evil."

"I like to have leisure in my life. Sometimes, on a morning in summer, after bathing as usual, I sit in front of the sunny door, from the sunrise of the red sun to the noon when the sun is shining, sitting in this forest of pine trees, hickory trees and lacquer trees, sitting in the loneliness and silence away from the hubbub, meditating. " "The so-called tomorrow, even if the time ends, will never come. The light that blinds us is darkness to us. When we are awake, the dawn will break. There is a long way to go, and the sun is just a morning star. " Although we can't appreciate the lonely mountain life like Thoreau, although Walden Lake has disappeared forever, all these can't prevent us from having a clear Walden Lake in our heart, which can always wash our hearts. According to Thoreau, explore your heart!
