Reflection on "I would rather be lonely than vulgar" (1): I like to be born from my heart and obey my destiny.
When I didn't see the author and saw the title "Better lonely than vulgar", I really refused, thinking it was another pot of chicken soup. Later, I saw that the author was Liu Yong. Well, am I so vulgar? (? ω ? )? After all, its name is well known, and the master's works still need to be read one or two. To tell the truth, the title of the book depends on how to understand "loneliness" and "vulgarity". Many people who feel inferior are lonely because of vulgarity, but from Mr. Liu Yong's book, we see a devil incarnate who is not afraid of maverick from bottom to top. Such people are born different from others. He never wants to fit in for the sake of fitting in. He can say that he won't draw unless there is one. When I was a child, I often made trouble in class, which made my mother and teacher have a headache. They even dare to flirt with serious instructors and are completely fearless wherever they go. Sometimes I think that's what a good artist is like. He dares to think and do. Most people nowadays are too complacent and have no adventurous spirit, but real art should obey its own wishes and speak for itself and the times like Mr. Liu Yong!
In this essay, Mr Liu Yong tells the story of his mother's ring. Looking at the trace of his mother's ring, he actually misses his mother. When painting, he will also recall his father's reprimand when eating HongLing, and then he will feed his father tomatoes with a spoon. His emotional prose works clearly reflect the cohesion and continuation of traditional cultural affection.
In the chapter of * * *, Mr. Liu Yong describes it very indifferently, which reads like a fire in someone else's house. When the reporter asked about the loss after being rescued, he also said rationally and calmly, "Fortunately, my mother has a safe in the bank." Generally speaking, all arts, articles, music, etc. You can't avoid the word "sadness" about where you will go, but in this book, you can't see any heartbreaking tears, let alone lonely and helpless self-pity. Everything is like destiny. To live in this life and cherish the people in front of us is to conform to fate. In Mr. Liu Yong's book, we can say that we have the strongest perception of the existence form of life, just like a wise man who sees through the world of mortals. Only those who dare to face life and death can truly understand the true meaning of life and strive to improve the quality of life. Many people are once bitten, twice shy, but Mr. Liu Yong is no longer afraid of fire, and once there is fire, he can smell it from a distance.
Walking in the world, when the wind is strong, you should show resistance, and when the wind is small, you should show smoothness and leisure.
Reflection on "Better lonely than vulgar" (2): He came from this road.
I remember the first time I met Liu Yong in primary school. At that time, family conditions were not allowed, and social resources were relatively small. Reading extracurricular books was a luxury. I know Liu Yong because when my aunt moved, I found a book in a pile of newspapers and said it was a book. In fact, there is no front or back, only the middle part, and I don't even know what the title is. But it was this book that made me particularly obsessed with reading at that time. These articles are exquisite, natural, true and powerful. I thought at that time that a person could write such real and natural words.
After I went to college, I read more books by Liu Yong, and my experience became more rational. A painter was born, but I know him because he is a writer. Later, after reading his handwriting and his paintings, I felt that the handwriting written by the painter was particularly beautiful.
Liu Yong's book "Better Lonely than Vulgar" is meaningful just by its title. Throughout our lives, we often come and go in loneliness and vulgarity. When we can't weigh them, people who have experienced them will always give us answers.
The author divides the book into five parts: bath fire, poetry, flower language, painting meaning and short songs, and attaches a novel. The book consists of Liu Yong's paintings interspersed with words. Looking at his paintings, or atmosphere, or warmth, reading those eloquent words, is a very pleasant thing.
Bath fire part. The author tells several things that are still fresh in his memory through his experiences in his youth. Mother's love, father's stubbornness, "my" youth and self-confidence, warm and lively alley in memory and so on. You can feel a rich love and warmth when reading. Memories often have temperature, just like when my house is on fire. Up to now, I can feel the intensity of the fire at that time.
The poetic part. Wang Wei, Wang Guowei, Zhang Dai and others. These are celebrities. Together with these words, these words can better help us understand the beauty of poetry and the artistic conception of painting.
Flower language part. It consists of three articles. I tell my memory of flowers through a short story, as if the longer time goes by, the deeper and better this memory will be.
The picture part. Starting from this painting, I told my appreciation and questions about the ancient city's warm spring, thousands of rivers blowing, early spring and Fuchun Shan Jutu, including a story about Mickey and Minnie.
Short song part. Composed of seven short poems by the author, his poems give people a firm and powerful feeling, as he said, "We will never stop, only surpass".
Finally, a novel, with warm words, makes me feel that husband and wife love each other, "You come and I help you, you help me".
Looking at Liu Yong's handwriting, there is a very special aesthetic feeling. We can see a firm and calm person walking under delicate words. He came that way, not vulgar, not kitsch, so lonely?
I would rather be lonely than vulgar. 9.6 Beautiful Liu Yong /20 18 "Better Lonely than Vulgar" (3): I met a different Liu Yong.
The book "Ning Vulgar Not Lonely" is a collection of poems and paintings. In this book, we can see not only the poems and essays written by Liu Yong, but also his paintings with elaborate words. This book describes Liu Yong's childhood life. As he himself said, "My childhood memory is black" and "My childhood is even darker after my father left". Liu Yong's childhood should be unfortunate. When he was young, his father died of illness. /kloc-when he was 0/3 years old, his house caught fire and everything in the house was instantly reduced to ashes. He and his mother can only build a hut on the ruins and become the best nail house. All this had an important influence on Liu Yong. Some people say that writers in big cities are unhappy in their childhood. This sentence, to some extent, has some truth. The sufferings of childhood have a profound influence on one's body and mind. It is precisely because of the changes in the family that one can learn to work harder and change the fate of the whole family by one's own strength. In this sense, the childhood experience made Liu Yong, and the suffering made him. As a painter, he uses pictures to match his words. For example, the picture of the article "Bathing Fire" is composed of red fire and black smoke, which is very layered. The fire brought a heavy disaster to his family, but many years later, when he recalled the fire, he had dispelled the pain caused by the fire and turned it into an important wealth during his growth. His memory of the fire was expressed in the form of words and paintings, and he also got some emotional catharsis. The pictures in Dream of Wild Ginger Flowers show that the green leaves are colorful, the flowers are elegant, and the leaves and flowers complement each other, which has a harmonious beauty. His paintings convey a kind of positive energy, and perhaps only those who have experienced great storms can achieve inner peace and indifference. "Cordate telosma" is a picture of the Mid-Autumn Festival full moon and epiphyllum in full bloom. When the painter expresses the beauty of epiphyllum, he skillfully blends flowers with leaves and with the moon. Now people can't help thinking: On a full moon night, the whole family is sitting around and happily enjoying the beautiful scene of a flash in the pan. Although the opening of Epiphyllum was short-lived, the painter continued the beauty of Epiphyllum through painting. Let the people who look at the painting experience an unspeakable beauty. In the articles Brother, Guo Xiong and Gong Wangxiong under the column of Artistic Conception, Liu Yong talked with three ancient painters in the form of letters and in a teasing tone, and talked about his understanding of their paintings. At the same time, Liu Yong also copied the works of these painters. The process of copying is also the process of Liu Yong learning from these painters, and at the same time, he deepened his understanding of the paintings and expressed his reverence for the painters. This part of the text can be regarded as a part of Liu Yong's painting theory, and it can also be regarded as a contemporary painter's tribute to ancient painters. Such books can help you understand Liu Yong as a poet, writer and painter more deeply and comprehensively. Open such an illustrated book, I believe you will not be disappointed!
Reflections on "Better Lonely than Vulgar" (Ⅳ): The Perfect Combination of Smart Words and Aesthetic Paintings
This is another masterpiece of Liu Yong's seclusion for three years, and it is his sixth collection of poems and paintings, including Bathing Fire, Poems, Flower Talk, Picturesque, Short Song, and finally the novel Wife's Guide Dog was added.
Liu Yong talked about creation in the preface because he was moved and touched by emotion. Reading his works is like an elder explaining the truth of life. His article is different from chicken soup. Will not shout slogans or unrealistic practices. He is more like an old man telling his own story to readers, so that readers can understand the truth of being a man. What is even more surprising is the perfect combination of words and paintings. Light and smart words and beautiful paintings make people shine.
Liu Yong is such an all-rounder who combines the titles of writer, painter and poet. Reading his words always brings us unexpected surprises and touches.
Reflection on "I would rather be lonely than vulgar" (5): A person is either lonely or vulgar.
Ning Lonely Not Vulgar is a new work by Liu Yong, a famous writer in Taiwan Province Province. Among his numerous publications, the most familiar one should be I'm not teaching you to cheat. If you only know Liu Yong from "I didn't teach you to cheat", you may think that he knows the world well and is sophisticated in dealing with people. But actually Liu Yong has many labels: writer, inspirational master and painter. There is an article+interview in Liu Yongli, the official account of WeChat. My son and I talked about the creative ideas of this book. Every painting in it was written by Liu Yong, and every painting has its own story behind it, such as Jiang Huacao, which saved his life, and the fire that once burned his house. It took 55 years to catch up with the fire he faced again, and the house was burned down and turned into a hut. He used to be unable to recall that time, but now he has the courage to draw the fire in one breath.
"Every time we suffer, we can alienate ourselves and go to see the pain, so that the pain is not so' painful'. Why can a person live up to expectations and live up to the motto "I'd rather be lonely than vulgar"? Liu Yong went to America when he was 30 years old. Why a "C" student can publish a school magazine and be an editor at school may lie in his sensitivity to life, observing and recording the scenery and things that move him, and taking a strong curiosity and an open mind wherever he goes. This is what we metropolises lack. After all, we can go to thousands of books after work and go to school every day, but it is difficult to go to Wan Li Road. Liu Yong didn't go to thousands of books when he was studying, but went to Wan Li Road, full of desire to explore around him. When we have a broad life, we will know where our way is, and we will know "touching you and me, touching the world". Liu Yong's writing style during his school days was not good, because he lacked true feelings, so he lacked literary talent and writing enthusiasm. Now Liu Yong's paintings and articles are full of feelings and feelings about life. Even the son Liu Xuan's metaphysical words are taken from "dreaming back to my hometown at night, Xiao Xuan window, dressing. Care for each other without words, only a thousand lines of tears ... "
After reading "Better Lonely than Vulgar", I know that Liu Yong, as a successful person, has more choices about lifestyle, but what we city people yearn for is limited by the immediate promotion and salary increase, mortgage, car loan and school district housing. I don't know when I can put it down one day. When I pick up this book, I will instantly abandon everything that bothers me and enter a poetic little happiness.
Books are divided into * * *, poetry, Chinese, painting and short songs. * * * tells the story of rebirth from the ashes. A fire in Liu Yong's childhood and his mother's gold ring both happened in his childhood. Once he could bear it no longer, he finally had the courage to speak out calmly. Poetry is the story of Liu Yong as an adult. The most touching thing is that the beautiful girl in the mountains walked for 50 years, and now she mentioned that she was married, went abroad and died in another country. I'm still waiting for you, and you've disappeared. Next, Liu Yong strung up the chapter of "Flower Language" with the story of three flowers and trees. In Liu Yong's childhood memory, wild ginger flowers can be seen everywhere along the river in Taiwan Province Province, and they are very vigorous, and even can be used as a life-saving straw to avoid being involved in the river. This kind of flower is not common when people come to America. After meeting, they kept a big pot in the study, of course, they treated it in the way of their hometown and dragged it around. The ink paintings in the book are all created by Liu Yong himself. Some are magnificent, some are lush, some are affectionate and picturesque, and of course they are inspired by masters of all ages. Liu Yong released his "letters" with the masters, which is also his "secret love". The last chapter is about painting with poetry, which reminds me of Weng Ziyang's "glazed Liu Liu". Although the styles are different, they are properly matched, just like someone in the movie is homesick, and the background music must be homesick.
This book mentions three realms of life:
Scene 1: Last night, the west wind withered the trees. A person in a tall building can see the end of the world.
The second realm: the belt is getting wider and wider, but I don't regret it, which makes people haggard for Iraq.
The third scene: looking for him in the crowd, suddenly looking back, people are there, and the lights are dim.
In contrast, I prefer the three moods in Liu Yong's Listening to the Rain, namely, youth, maturity and old age.
Teenagers are listening to rain songs upstairs, red candles are faint, and teenagers are listening to the rain on the boat. The river is wide and the clouds are low, and the broken geese are called the west wind. Now listening to the rain monk Lu, there are stars on his temples. Sorrow and joy are always ruthless, before the next step, until dawn. At different stages of life, our views on things are completely different, just a state of mind.
"Walking in the world, when the wind is strong, show the strength of character. When the wind is light, you should act calmly.
Mature people don't ask the past, wise people don't ask the present, and open-minded people don't ask the future. "
-Liu Yong
Reflection on "I'd rather be lonely than vulgar" (ⅵ): My heart is moist and silent.
Mr. Liu Yong should be familiar to everyone. At first, I only thought that Mr. Liu Yong was just a writer and there were more inspirational masters. It was not until I saw Mr. Liu Yong's painting collection some time ago that I realized that Mr. Liu Yong was still a painter. It seems that I can no longer say that I have read Liu Yong's works.
I like teacher Liu Yong's writing style, like a familiar elder, telling you one interesting and inspirational story after another. Teacher Liu Yong's book is gentle and intimate, soothing the soul, and will not be upset even after reading it for a day. Teacher Liu Yong's book is very approachable and not difficult to understand. In his view, words should be emotional and should not be written for writing. I like this view very much.
Ning Lonely and Not Vulgar is a very touching book, which contains his concentration and affection for people and things around him. Every story feels ordinary, but it has certain truth and connotation. Different readers may have different feelings. In reading, you will feel that Mr. Liu Yong is a very delicate person, not only meticulous about his own works, but also meticulous about his own emotions. If he is not a person who loves life and family, he can't start with details, so he can't write such delicate and touching words and draw such touching pictures.
Every time I move between the lines, I will see an exciting painting, which is really an unexpected gain. What I think of is not only an artistic expression of classical poetry, but also "scene blending" Reading Mr. Liu Yong's works, I am completely immersed in the realm of scene blending, just as Xie Zhen wrote in four poems that "scene is the medium of poetry, and emotion is the embryo of poetry", while Mr. Liu Yong completely combines emotion and scene with pictures and words, which makes readers moved by it. That kind of emotion is not a surging agitation, not a majestic shock, but a heart lake caused by the breeze Xu Lai.
Teacher Liu Yong's book is a book that makes people have different gains at different stages of life. If you study at school, you will find this book very relaxing, difficult to sing, but enlightening. If you read it after you get married, you will find that it is a very practical book, just like a lamp and a guide in the middle of the night; If you are a parent, you may feel that you have found a bosom friend.
"Touching is often an avalanche. For example, cherry blossoms, which were bare the day before, suddenly opened overnight. " Touching is often refreshing. Like morning dew, it still exists in the air before going to bed, but it is already lying on the leaves in the morning ~ Teacher Liu Yong's book is like this, which makes people feel silent.
Reflection on "Better lonely than vulgar" (7): neither vulgar nor lonely.
I believe that the name Liu Yong is no stranger to the post-80s generation. He is an inspirational godfather and a master of chicken soup. His works encouraged the growth of a generation. His works such as "Gossip at the Firefly Window" and "I'm not teaching you to cheat" triggered a bestseller frenzy, with sales exceeding10 million copies, which had a far-reaching impact. And Liu Yong also has the identity of an artist. Anyone who knows him knows that Liu Yong's artistic background is admirable.
This new book, Better Lonely than Vulgar, is a semi-autobiographical collection of inspirational essays and paintings. Looking back on one's mental journey, affection, harvest and regret are all indispensable parts of life. Only when you have experienced it, you will be filled with emotion. At the same time, this book also includes more than 50 paintings by painter Liu Yong, which are very beautiful and well-made and worth collecting. When I was in college, I studied Liu Yong. When I first entered the society, I groped for secrets and tried to get the true scriptures in Liu Yong's books. Although I lamented all kinds of things in the world, I was secretly happy to see a good book on learning practical experience. From then on, I admired Liu Yong, and his language was true and sharp, and I gave my views to ignorant young people without reservation. Many of my views hit the nail on the head, making people feel creepy, but people can't help but nod and praise. The first time I saw Liu Yong on TV, I felt different from what I thought. My life experience of being born and raised in the north limited my imagination. I thought I was an angry strong man when I read the text. I didn't expect such a sharp pen to come from such a gentle southern man. Especially after reading his paintings, I can't help but sigh that there is such a person who is both rigid and flexible. Fortunately, I had the opportunity to read "Better Lonely than Vulgar", which gave me a deeper understanding of Liu Yong. 70 years of life, my life is eventful, I constantly affirm myself, create myself, surpass myself, and walk deeply in the years with a sense of understanding and freedom. It takes time to wash away, to appreciate all kinds of life, and to know the truth of the world through Qianshan. Life has given him a keen eye to explore all kinds of situations, and also rounded his edges and corners. Between sighs, everything seems to be light, but landing is intriguing. Reading Liu Yong when I was a child is really different from reading when I grow up. The only constant is the sigh between the lines. I believe everyone who has seen it will feel the same way. It is a good book, recommended to those young friends who are full of ambitions and ready to set foot in society, and also recommended to everyone who tries to move forward in the social tide. Reflection on "Better lonely than vulgar" (8): Brave and frank.
"Jade Case Yuan Xi" Xin Qiji in the Southern Song Dynasty "Thousands of trees are released in the east wind night, and the stars are blown down like rain". BMW carved cars are full of incense. Phoenix flute moves, jade pot turns, fish dragon dances all night. Moths, snow, willows, gold thread, laughter and incense are all gone. In the crowd, I searched for her again and again in vain. When I suddenly turned my head, I found her there, dimly lit. Xin Qiji's "Jade Case Yuan" was sung by Taiwan Province singer Chen Bide in CCTV's "Ode to Classics", which made this classic Song Ci once again enter the audience's field of vision and glow with infinite vitality. Reading China famous writer Liu Yong's "Better Lonely than Vulgar" reminds me of the author's vivid annotation on this word in the chapter "Poetry" in The Man in the Dim Light. The so-called vulgarity and loneliness are all manifestations of everyone's different life pursuits and life values in the eyes of outsiders.
Liu Yong is a famous writer, good at painting, a famous painter and an inspirational master who is good at persuading and enlightening others. In the book "Better Lonely than Vulgar", Liu Yong wrote his unique experience and opinions on the past, relatives, paintings and poems with affectionate pen and ink. In this book, there are not only his deep memories of his dead mother and father, but also his childhood experiences. There are not only explorations and refinements of the art of poetry and painting, but also sighs of the era of landscape figures; There are both views on ordinary things in life and rational explanations of the profound truth behind simplicity ... it is a collection of poems and paintings full of humanistic and artistic atmosphere.
Liu Yong is good at describing and telling in the form of prose. In this book, he reveals the details of his mother's life, especially in his later years, by recalling a gold ring she wore on her left ring finger before her death. This is not an ordinary gold ring. It is integrated with the mother's life. No matter in life, this ring has never left her finger. Even if it makes a "jingle" sound and sounds noisy to outsiders, her mother still wears it, which is not affected at all. This ring represents her mother. The author said that because I am used to it, I feel at ease when my mother's ring rings. Because only when I heard the sound of "Dangdang Dangdang" did I know that my mother was well. After reading this article, I can feel the author's deep feelings for his mother between the lines. These seemingly plain words express the best feelings in the world. People often say that "seeing things and thinking about people", and Liu Yong's "Mother's Golden Ring" is the best annotation.
A good article can arouse the emotional resonance of the author. In Liu Yong's "Better Lonely than Common", every article and every painting comes from the infection of the author's certain emotions, which makes him moved, makes him splash ink and makes him write freely. It can be said that the author is a frank person.
Liu Yongxuan's articles consist of several series, such as bathing fire, poetry, rhetoric, artistic conception and short songs. , showing readers the author's talents in prose, painting and calligraphy, poetry and so on. On the one hand, it is a masterpiece of emotional prose, on the other hand, it is a vivid painting with a long artistic conception, which makes this book have a high literary style. I think the author's name "I would rather be lonely than vulgar" wants to express a clear meaning, that is, to live a true temperament, love lovely people, do what I want to do and pursue the ideal I want to pursue, even if it is "high and low", I will not live that vain and vulgar life.
After reading "Better Lonely than Vulgar" (9): Loneliness is sometimes more touching!
"We can turn around, but we don't have to look back. Even if one day, you find yourself wrong, you should turn around and stride in the right direction, instead of going back and complaining that you are wrong. " When I read this passage, I was troubled by a mistake I made a long time ago and my mood was extremely low. I have an obsession that I really want to go back and start over.
This sentence was written by Liu Yong on the cover of his new book "Better Lonely than Vulgar". As if a bright light had entered my heart, it really opened a bright window.
I studied Liu Yong in high school. I don't know why, but I have the impression that he is an essayist, just like Yu. But in fact, his works are closer to the chicken soup for the soul advocated by quality and virtue, focusing on the truth of life, but he explains it and doesn't feel monotonous at all.
His works will not make people feel bored, but will give people a kind of positive energy, prompting people to become more self-disciplined and successful, especially in his "Beyond yourself, create yourself and affirm yourself".
Liu Yong is not only successful in writing, but also in his paintings. In particular, this book "Ning Lonely and Not Vulgar", almost every article is a painting hidden in his heart, and the pen and ink take your time. Each article is accompanied by different paintings, which set each other off and become interesting. The calligraphy and painting are picturesque, touching and refreshing.
On the opening night of the Spring Festival, Liu Yong said that his article touched many people. The real reason is not how good his article is, but that he touched himself first.
This is true, but it also reflects the true meaning of writing. If the author can't even touch himself, how can he touch the readers? Unstable writing is just subtle repetition and a bunch of words.
Liu Yong's sense of touch is different. His touch seems to emanate from a small hidden corner, without attracting attention, but unconsciously touched the people inside.
It's really like this book, Ning Lonely and Not Vulgar, which is divided into five parts: bathing fire, poetry, flower language, painting and short songs. At the end of the book, a novel is attached. The best one is in this short story-My Wife's Guide Dog. Familiar people may quietly confirm what happened after reading it, so as to find clues, and unfamiliar people can't help but think of it.
Mother's golden ring bathing in fire seems to be telling a story and telling the truth. Different readers have different charms in their hearts. This argument is reminiscent of the open thinking that was particularly advocated in previous years. It was not until the poetic chapter that I really lost myself in the wonderful world constructed by the author, as if a warm wind brushed my face, gentle and beautiful.
When I am moved, I can't help laughing. One of the pictures is Mickey and Minnie. At first glance, they look curious. Isn't this a cartoon? What is the author's intention in writing?
After reading it, I couldn't help laughing. It turns out that Liu Yong has two little mice at home. Isn't it Mickey and Minnie? I'm afraid there aren't many mice as pets in cages.
Every word of the last poem of the bridge is in the ink painting. In just a few words, countless things are outlined together, which makes people daydream. When my daughter saw it, she read it to her. I didn't expect that she couldn't put it down and pestered me to watch it twice.
At this time, I was in a good mood. I repeatedly recited the words at the beginning of the article and suddenly felt suddenly enlightened.
