In fact, sometimes I don't care much about the writer's fame or love a certain family, just look at the title of the book when picking up a book, simple or beautiful book title will be added to the first impression, so that there is a desire to open, and then it is casually turned to a few pages, the text typesetting, structural content, writing style look at people feel comfortable, there is a desire to read, will continue to read.
The name Ji Xianlin seems to have been heard since I was a student, a literary master, and in addition, there seems to be no other iconic representative word that remains in the depths of memory, perhaps I am too shallow. Probably also read a few articles, but the impression is not deep.
Qingtang lotus rhyme, simple four words, see that moment about Mo there is a picture emerging. A small shallow pond, clear to the bottom, perhaps there are a few wild crucian carp and unknown light rain chasing and playing, the summer afternoon sun hangs obliquely above, the light wind blows up the ripples of the water surface, but also blows away the dry heat, the pale pink lotus flowers blooming in the lotus leaves are staggered, swaying in the wind, followed by the undulating lotus leaves of the blue waves, and the summer cicadas sing the unique summer music on the trees by the pool. Brew a simple cup of green tea, the heat steaming up, like a wisp of cooking smoke, a pleasant ink painting scroll floating in front of the eyes~
There is no pompous, complex design in the writing, only a blooming lotus, two lotus leaves, placed on one side, and the rest are left blank, inadvertently revealing a simple and best meaning. Maybe too many complex compositions can destroy their own beauty. Mention of lotus, probably most of the things that appear in the mind is Zhou Dunyi's love lotus said, out of the mud without staining, Mao Qing Lian and not demon, in the middle through the outside straight, not vines without branches, fragrant far yiqing, pavilion pure plant, can be viewed from a distance and can not be blasphemed.
There are no complicated stories in the book, no pompous illustrations, most of them quietly tell ordinary life, their own stories. A round of bright moon as a guide, pulling the time to the hometown of childhood, then the two or three things of childhood, and then going to other countries to study, returning to china to work, in the working and living environment of the garden, lake, flower, tree, hutong, study, fallen leaves, life. Each story is a story that starts with a small thing, telling the story of their connection with themselves, the story that happened to them. The subtle description of small objects seems to reappear in front of their own eyes, and there is not much far-reaching exposition but they unconsciously make people think about it and unconsciously indulge in it. A kitten, an old dog, a beggar, a distant place, in the pen, between the lines of the writing to write other people's stories, but also remind people of their own stories, more or less this is what is called resonance. Sometimes it seems that a simple story or a casual life moment can be depicted in a similar way, but it cannot appear nonsense, or it requires strong life observation and a certain literary foundation. It is also necessary to take into account the tightness of the whole article, the detailed place is detailed, the place where the stroke is taken will never drag mud and water, and occasionally add some precipitated words across time between the simple three words and two words, which may make the entire paragraph or length add a little bit of the light of the pearls of the sea, and there are bright but simple and unpretentious. Learning to observe life and depict life, to record simple things in simple words, so that people who see it feel that it is not simple, this is probably where I still have a lot to investigate.
