If you read a book a hundred times, its meaning will show itself. The following is the "Book Review of Tale of Genji" compiled by me for your reference only. I hope it will help you. More related content is here, welcome to pay attention and read. Chapter 1: Book Review of Tale of Genji
Tale of Genji is the earliest realistic novel in the world, more than 7 years earlier than A Dream of Red Mansions. Both of the two classic classical novels are good at expressing feelings, and love tragedy stories run through them. A Dream of Red Mansions is an elegant and noble Chinese model, which has been watered with ten years' painstaking efforts, including the emotional experience of the author's autobiography. In this paper, the love for kind women, the criticism of the rich and powerful for their fame and wealth, and the contempt for the corrupt life of the rich and powerful are extremely pen and ink. When reading The Tale of Genji, I can't read the elegant and noble charm like A Dream of Red Mansions after all, but I always feel that there is a deep "gap", perhaps because I have a "gap" with Japanese culture and my reading skills are defective. I finally read this classic novel as a popular romance novel.
Tale of Genji tells the complicated emotional course of Genji, Xiyu and Xunjun. Genji is an amorous and dissolute handsome man, and his peerless appearance and talent are praised with a lot of pen and ink. When he meets the right beauty, he has to take it for himself, so that there are as many as thirteen women who have had emotional ties with him. Only two women, the empty cicada and the jade Hao, are not available to him. Genji can be so indulgent, which is related to the marriage system in Japan at that time. Men can possess women at will with impunity, even with brilliant performance. This is a privilege granted to men by the system. And the evening mist only watches the geese in the cloud, but it is afraid of being laughed at. Compared with their father Genji, Xi Wu and Xun Jun are rational and loyal. In the second half, I wrote about the love affair between Kaoru Jun and the big microscope and Upright, which was unswerving and touching.
among many women, I like the perfect Sharla Cheung. Her love for Genji is pure and kind, and at the same time she has the tolerance and generosity of aristocratic women. She knew that she couldn't get rid of the humble fate of women in marriage, and it was impossible for Genji to love only herself. So she used her tolerant love and kindness to grasp Genji's heart. She accepted Genji's affectionate reality everywhere and lived in harmony with everyone. She sincerely raised Mrs. Akashi's daughter and devoted all the love of a mother. This kind of maternal love beyond blood relationship makes people sincerely admire. Such an understanding woman is bound to be favored by Genji the most.
Reading this classic Japanese novel can help us understand the life of the Japanese court at that time and the prevalence of Buddhism in Japan at that time. Almost everyone in the book has had the idea of escaping into an empty door. Buddhism has become the best conversion of people's hearts, which can soothe every sad heart. In the book, Emperor Suzaku, Yincui gorge, Genji, Sharla Cheung, Barnacle Lady, Empty Cicada, Upright, etc. all chose to escape into Buddhism. In A Dream of Red Mansions, Jia Baoyu, Jia Xichun, Fang Guan and Ou Guan also fled into an empty net. It is no accident that Buddhist thought runs through these two classical masterpieces. Buddhism spread to the East from the Tang Dynasty until Murasaki shikibu wrote Tales of Genji and Cao Xueqin wrote A Dream of Red Mansions, which was deeply rooted in people's hearts and became a good medicine to soothe people's hearts. No matter Genji or A Dream of Red Mansions, we can read the importance of religious belief to people's hearts, which is the best self-salvation for mankind. Chapter 2: Book Review of Tale of Genji
The Jade Case of Chanting Barnacles
Pu Xiangkui is a shallow scholar.
when autumn is gone, sorrow is hard to drink.
jade belt and jade brocade return to red.
the curtain smoke is easy to reflect, but the brilliance is difficult, and the snow flows alone.
long journey through fog accompanied by blue lanterns.
memories of the fisherman's daughter's dusty shore.
chaos will never be found.
if you want to keep people, you will only see the yellow spring and the pale scenery.
as the fourth daughter of the former emperor, she once entered the palace because of a sentence that looked like changing clothes in a tong pot. She was deeply grateful for the kindness of Emperor Tonghu when she went to Phoenix.
When Murasaki shikibu's pen and ink gradually outlined the shape of this woman, a picture was full of quietness and grace, and it was elegant and blue-hearted.
I don't feel that Meiying is gradually blowing for her in the center.
She is gentle and calm, and she is calm and detached. Although she is different from Genji two of a kind, she always abides by etiquette and does not want to overstep the rules.
the birth of the cold spring, I seem to hear, in the fragrant house, the glorious palace, destroying itself day and night, secretly wringing my heart and sobbing silently.
She pretends to be a sinner, and hates herself for betraying Emperor Tonghu in such a way that she caused such a great disaster.
when barnacles fall off, Guangyuan feels lost. But in the face of his unrelenting eagerness, she tried her best to hide her feelings deeply in the fragrant fog of the hall.
She sings "He who sees through the world of mortals ahead", but it is still hard to break off the letter with him. She loves Genji, but she doesn't have the courage of Obuchi Moonlight and the madness of Liutiao. She understands that this is an unbearable wrong love. Her feelings are also deep and obscure, which are reflected in her feelings that are still difficult to break after she became a monk.
As the saying goes, "If I had known it was so frustrating, why not know it at the beginning?" She regretted telling the truth about Genji's feelings and that time she crossed the line, but
Did she regret knowing Genji?
I have been wandering for a long time, and it is always difficult to infer the result.
many people say that the true love of Genji's life is barnacles. At that time, barnacles were declared into the palace to accompany you because they looked like tung pots changing clothes; Many years later, Zishang was attracted by Genji because of his appearance very much like barnacles. After many years, Yincui gorge married Genji, which was also inextricably linked with barnacles.
Some people say that Genji spent almost his whole life looking for the shadow of barnacles.
after sighing, I can only see dimly, next to the ancient Buddha of Qingdeng, watching the flowers bloom and fall in front of the court, a beautiful woman who has washed her lead, is just as pure as a leaf, and is low in bodhi. Chapter 3: Book Review of Tale of Genji
Will people who have read A Dream of Red Mansions fondle admiringly love Tale of Genji? Tale of Genji is the earliest realistic novel in the world. There is no exact statement about the date of its completion. It is generally believed that it was between 11 and 18, hundreds of years earlier than A Dream of Red Mansions.
Tale of Genji reminds me of my dancer's thoughtful, lovely round face, warped eyelashes, white skin, funny and sentimental personality. She told me that she had been reading this book almost since she was a child. Looking at the seriousness behind her round eyes, and hearing the sentence "The Tale of Genji is equivalent to a Dream of Red Mansions in Japan", I felt a mixture of awe and self-sighing.
A masterpiece of more than 1, pages can stand the scrutiny of Yamato people for ten centuries, and this kind of skill can be summarized and evaluated by more than just a phrase "phoenix head, pig belly and leopard tail". In fact, "What is essential is invisible to the eyes"-"The Little Prince", "What really touches people's hearts is unpretentious feelings", and another sentence-"Kung Fu is beyond poetry"-these three famous sayings pierced the young people's desire for vanity, so after reading the first three times, they found that the rhetoric was dull and left it aside, and the whole high school did not finish reading it.
oriental books and western books are definitely two styles, although both of them are lingering in my mind for a long time. Although I seem to understand everything after reading it, I put it aside, but the real connotation needs people to chew and understand it repeatedly for a lifetime; However, western books make public, and each book strives for its own differences. No matter from which point, the conception, form, writing style, material selection, and cutting into the ideological angle ... always make people stunned; The books in the East, like the soul in the East, are noble and humble, and truly reflect the shallow and ignorant side of your human nature like a mirror. Most books in the East are like this. You see, it's a famous book, but it's half cold before reading it. After reading it, you disdain it and spit on it, so you have since fallen to the western camp and touted the unconstrained style in western literature. However, this masterpiece lies in the dust of the years, in your forgetfulness, laughing at your frivolous and cynical blood. It flows through your heart like water, "tasteless", you think. One day, you suddenly encounter an indescribable scene in your life. At this time, in a corner of your memory, some golden thoughts are flashing quietly. At this time, you pick them up in doubt and joy, only to find that this is the oriental thought. You turned back and pulled out the book, and then read it carefully, only to find that the author can express your most subtle feelings so understandingly. In ancient and refined language, you can't help but praise it as a bosom friend. As your life broadens step by step, things change, and you find that the book will never be finished, and you will never be able to read it thoroughly. When you were young, you were deeply ashamed of your ruthless ridicule. You can't help but regard it as a master and an eternal light. This book is "as calm as Mount Tai, stupefied", "the world is praised without advice, and the world is not discouraged." It is hard for the world to look back.
After reading Tale of Genji this time, I made the above-mentioned low-level mistakes again. I think it's too much to listen to, I think it's "tasteless" and I think there's nothing worth learning. However, as time went by, the Tale of Genji left a blur of images in my mind, which made me confused gradually. I was ashamed to face it, and I started to write, but I was afraid that the expression would be inaccurate and it would be broken.
It's easier to speak freely when writing western masterpieces, because "all men are created equal". As a humble pawn, I also have my own voice. However, when writing eastern masterpieces, my reading feeling is often "stopping at the top of the mountain". Under the profound background, I bow my head respectfully and fear under the fragrant soul handed down from generation to generation by the author.
The book mostly describes the life of the Japanese royal family, reciting poems and painting, playing the strings, playing the bamboo and dancing the moon, which is full of petty bourgeoisie sentiment. However, "although the author mainly describes Genji's love life, he does not simply describe love, but reveals the tragic fate of women under polygamy through Genji's love and marriage." Genji's father played with changing clothes, and because of her humble background, she was left out in the palace and finally died in the power struggle. Genji, relying on his power, ruined many women: breaking into the bedroom of the local official's wife, Empty Cicada, in the middle of the night defiled the married woman; Trampled on the love of Xi Yan, who was born in humble origins, and made her die of depression; Seeing that her stepmother barnacles are like her own mother, she went from longing to adultery with her; Broke into the inner room of the fallen flower picking, molested her, found her ugly, and taunted her. In addition, he is similar to Sharla Cheung, Akashi Ji and other women with different identities. In the last ten times, Genji's successor, Xunjun (nominally the son of Genji and Yincui gorge, but actually born of Yincui gorge's adultery with Genji's brother-in-law's son, Bomu), inherited the tradition of the two generations of ancestors and fathers, destroyed the lonely weak woman Upright, and was afraid that things would come to light and abandoned her in the desolate Yuzhi Villa. Here, through these stories, readers can see that this incestuous relationship and degenerate life are a reflection of political corruption and have a causal relationship with their political decline and decline. "
I recommend it carefully.
