A sectional overview of Yu Yang's prose,
In the article "Yangguan Snow", the author mentioned snow. "Except for large tracts of white snow, even a wrinkle can't be found." "I didn't expect the snow in the desert to melt so fast. Just for a moment, the ground was full of sand, but there were no wet marks. " When it comes to Yangguan, "there is a barren hill not far from the mountain" and "the nearby beacon tower is still there. This is the mound just seen below. Most of the mounds have collapsed, and you can see layers of sediment, layers of reeds and reeds flying out and shaking in the cold wind after thousands of years. " When it comes to the sky, "I have never seen such a complete sky, and it has not been swallowed up at all. The edges are quite scattered and the earth is tightly covered. " The article also expresses its own sigh here: Walking alone in such a world, the dwarf has also become a giant. Walking alone in such a world, the giant has become a dwarf. But obviously, these descriptions are just an introduction, because in the whole article, the author did not express his feelings in lamenting the smallness of the vast self. Instead, he projected his thoughts into the long river of history, and his thinking was a higher and deeper feeling. From the fourteenth paragraph, the author began his passion, spiritual wisdom and thinking. The Tang Dynasty demeanor mentioned in the fifteenth paragraph is actually the author's sustenance for China culture and China literati. Look into the distance, spread out a broad road of life and walk confidently. China culture and China literati had existed heroically for many years before "European artists made a fuss and stubbornly sent their smiles into the soul of history". However, this natural self-confidence did not "last long". Why? The sixteenth paragraph mentioned that the palace in Chang 'an only opened a narrow side door for artists to bend down as humble attendants and create a little entertainment. The old man in history stood in awe and turned away, trembling to return to the genealogy of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors. Who will this sentence remind people of? Yes, Li Bai! The poetry fairy was reduced to a humble attendant who engaged in a little entertainment. Therefore, the painting style of Kyushu is bleak. Yangguan, it is no longer difficult to enjoy warm and mellow poems. There are still some scholars in the west who go out of Yangguan, but most of them have become officials and ministers. ""Even the mounds and Shicheng can't stand so many sighs, and the sunshine has collapsed in the spiritual territory of a nation. Will eventually become a ruin, a wasteland. The sand grave behind him is like a tide, and the cold peak in front of him is like a wave. " Here, the author diplomatically wrote about the war, the contempt of the feudal ruling class, the bleak self-confidence, and the destruction of China culture that should have stood proudly in the world. "The snowstorm in Yangguan is getting more and more sad", which is not only the snowstorm in Yangguan, but also the culture of China. China's once splendid culture has fallen into heavy snow in the long river of history. Think about Epang Palace, Yuanmingyuan, Mogao Grottoes ... What did war and contempt bring? After reading this, we will undoubtedly deeply feel the bitter course of China culture and the unique tragic fate of China literati, which can not help but urge us to ask ourselves, what is civilization? What is culture? Where did we leave it? How can I get it back?
