In "Counting Ten Books that Accompany me to Spend Unforgettable Time in 20 18", I mentioned that I bought two "Grass House" online after learning that I had passed the teacher qualification interview on March 6, 20 18. It was a short break from reading, and I gained a lot after reading it, but unfortunately I didn't write my thoughts.
In the last summer vacation, the reading mode was changed to borrowing books from the library. Many of them wanted to see the scarecrow, and even borrowed them, they didn't have time to read them. When it was time to return the book, I did. Perhaps it is because the titles of the two books both have the word "grass", and there was a brainless "scarecrow" in the previous Wizard of Oz. The most important thing is that Ye Shengtao's "scarecrow" appeared frequently during the preparation period, so I finally finished reading it on the first day of the New Year.
Unlike Cao Wenxuan's novel The Straw House, Ye Lao's The Scarecrow is a collection of fairy tales, each of which is exquisite, beautifully described and meaningful. I have a plan to recite these beautifully described sentences. For example:
Many buttonwood trees, they are really happy. They are wearing new green clothes. They are all standing on the windowsill playing games. There are green silk curtains around. A gust of wind blew, and the green silk curtains fluttered like a quiet courtyard. Through the cracks in the curtains, they can see the deep blue sky, birds flying in the sky, and white clouds like fairy clothes; At night, they can see the moon smiling forever, the stars blinking wittily, the Milky Way like a white jade bridge, and fireflies marching with lanterns. They are very happy and singing softly. At this time, the persimmon next door also sang, the begonia below also sang, and the cricket under the stone steps also sang. (buttonwood)
The clear river is the home of carp. During the day, the sun shines on the river like gold powder, and the thin and soft ripples are like a thin layer of gauze. Under this veil, carp live a very comfortable life. At night, the blue sky enveloped the river, everything in the river fell asleep, and the carp fell asleep. Even dreams are sweet, and there is a silver moon and jewel-like stars in the sky. (Carp in distress)
Scarecrow, rose and goldfish, the emperor's new clothes, tears, happy people and carp in distress are the most impressive.
"Scarecrow" shows the darkness of society and the plight of the people incisively and vividly through a glimpse of noodles. The scarecrow's master, the old woman, finally cultivated rice that was about to be harvested but was eaten by locusts; A sick child can't get a hug from his mother or even a sip of hot water; A fisherman who still lives by fishing late at night; A woman who is forced to think by her husband's gambling; A crucian carp, which was salvaged by fishermen and was about to dry up and die, made the scarecrow feel sad and even died of exhaustion. Isn't "Scarecrow" just like the author's deep sympathy for the working people at that time, just a symbol of the author and people with lofty ideals?
Seeing that Ye Lao continued to write The Emperor's New Clothes, I regretted reading it too late, because we learned Andersen's The Emperor's New Clothes last semester. Would it be more interesting if students were allowed to continue writing at that time and then compared with their writing style of Ye Lao? I admire Ye Lao's imagination, especially the unexpected hilarious ending: the whole street, especially the children, came out to bite the emperor and shouted, "I will tear your vanity!" " I tore your new skirt! "When hypocrisy, cruelty and stubbornness are unbearable, it is inevitable that not only one or two people who dare to tell the truth at the risk of being beheaded will come forward, but finally, everyone will desperately expose the mask of vanity and ugliness in a way of disgust and contempt!
The ending of Rose and Goldfish is very sad and enlightening, which is a bit like the ending of Wilde's The Nightingale and the Rose. The pure and sincere love between rose and goldfish is regarded as the "love" exchange between men and women in love, and eventually both goldfish and rose die. For them, it is just an exchange, and it is really regrettable and heartbreaking to be replaced by a new "exchange"! Humans always use different things to satisfy different desires, fill one desire and have new and greater desires waiting, and finally fall into a big "black hole" that can never be filled!
In Oscar Wilde's The Nightingale and the Rose, the nightingale searched for the red rose at all costs for her lover, but the rose was eventually rejected by her lover. A red rose given by the nightingale was finally abandoned on the ground. How sad and hateful this is. Is the best and purest love in the world worth paying such a price? Leaving only a sigh.
In tears, a person is looking for tears of sympathy, but he doesn't see them in many places where he thinks they should be. He only saw a numb face and heard empty laughter. Finally, he found the tears of sympathy he had been looking for in the eyes of a child who wouldn't let his mother kill chickens again. Finally, he gave these tears to those who should cry, to those who claim to be happy, and to the readers who are reading this article at this time. The ending is exquisite! This is exactly the original intention of Ye Lao-may we always have a child's childlike innocence, innocence, kindness and sympathy!
"Happy Man" A happy man lends money to those pretenders because of his ignorance (he is wrapped in a cocoon and can't see everything in front of him). It was just a temporary happiness wrapped in lies, but it was finally punctured by a person who wanted to destroy the happiness in the world. He saw everything clearly and died. Since then, there has never been a happy person in the world. Of course, the original intention was not to pretend to be happy, but to show the darkness of society at that time. At that time, people in that dark society had no happiness at all, and even if they did, they were short-lived, deceiving themselves!
Carp in distress said that it saw that life was beautiful, that life was beautiful, that it cursed a group of small carp in the dark when life was desperate, and that they were finally rescued because of tears. Let me also understand a lot of life truths. When we sit in the "pyramid" on campus before graduation, we are always full of beautiful imagination for the future. But after graduation, after tasting the hardships of social university life, we complained about the reality and cruelty of society. It will take more than ten years to really understand that life is not as good as you think, nor as bad as you think. Everything depends on your mentality and hard work!
This book has gained a lot and inspired me a lot in writing techniques. Today I will do the above shallow thinking and notes!
