Dali is a place where famous artists gather and nourish the literary atmosphere, and countless literati and inkers have built an ideal state here since ancient times. Today, this charm is still passed down, and there are also many affectionate souls cultivating here. This issue of "Walking World: Scholars and Fragrance Dali" takes you into Mr. Zhang Yanduo's "Local Feelings and Literary Life" to appreciate the style and excitement of the older generation of cultural workers.
Zhang Yanduo, who served as the chairman of the Dali Writers Association, is close to his old age, and he has lived such a full life, and it is wonderful, which surprises us one after another, which is the wonderful old chairman of Zhang Yanduo, and also the wonderful literature, which not only nourishes people, but also reshapes people's spirit. Therefore, people who love literature are full of vitality and immortality. Some people say that ordinary people live one life, but those who love literature and engage in literary creation have lived twice, he has lived one life in the real world, and he has lived another life in his own works, and this life will live a particularly long life.
A writer with feelings
Literary sentiments:
He became famous in literature very early on, and in the mid-1980s, I often read his works while I was still in college. At that time, he also worked in the Agricultural Bank of China, and later served as the director of the Dali Municipal Bureau of Culture, became a government official, and has now retired for nearly twenty years, no matter how the industry and job change, whether he is in service or retired, one thing that has always remained the same is his love for literature.
Some people regard literature as a stepping stone, and some people take literature as an ornament of life, and Zhang Yanduo's feelings for literature are from the heart and flow naturally from the depths of the soul, so his literary feelings are precious. At the age of 78, he still works hard and gives us the opportunity to gather here to share his works. The second is cultural feelings: during his tenure as director of the Cultural Bureau, he carried out the restoration and reconstruction of Chongsheng Temple, which is a large-scale cultural project that benefits future generations and has immeasurable merit.
He has made achievements in various literary genres
Children's Literature:
The creation of children's literature is still a shortcoming of contemporary Chinese literature, but he was an important member of the "Sunbird" children's literature writers group in the 1980s. His children's literature focuses on the living conditions, emotions and destinies of the borderland peoples. Pay attention to the intersection of regional characteristics and national characteristics, the integration of the spirit of the times and the national spirit, and the unity of language color and national color.
It has a distinct personal emotional and value orientation, and expands the realistic expression space of children's literature with new discourse methods and artistic patterns. Returning to the real folk, it depicts innocence, childlike heart and childlike fun in a colorful way, reproduces and depicts the living conditions of children and children in nature and the primary colors of life, strives to awaken the original life connection between children and natural creatures, and constructs children's admiration and closeness to nature from a literary perspective.
Fiction Writing:
The novel originated from "street talk" and "remnant whispers". Fiction is to say something in a small place. Zhang Yanduo's understanding of the stylistic connotation of the novel is very accurate and thorough, and his novels are cleverly selected, the opening is small, and the angle is new.
The core of the novel is to shape the character image, whether it is the setting of the plot, the arrangement of contradictions, or the description of the environment, it is all for the purpose of shaping the character image. He successfully created for us a series of vivid character images such as Caiyue, Lao Jianjian, Xiao Jiujiu, Ruan Mao Laohan, A Chun Ma, Guo Zuo Ma, Pulling Morning, Shu Zhu, And Li Yuan, not even having names, the projectionist nicknamed "Handshake" also wrote vividly, what is even more valuable is that Zhang Yanduo has a strong sense of civilians, his novels always look downwards, pay attention to the countryside, pay attention to the peasants, pay attention to the vulnerable groups, care about their suffering, take their survival dilemma as the main content of the novel expression, write their lives, Write about their character, write about their destiny.
Use the perspective of civilians to observe and understand the bittersweet, joys, sorrows, and sorrows of rural people. Write with the posture of civilians, reflect the lives of civilians, get close to the emotions of civilians, and tell the stories of ordinary people in civilian language. Living people, flesh and blood people, a specific person, they have their own way of life, they have their own feelings, complex and changeable, are three-dimensional people. Let our readers feel that these vivid characters are around us, and even live with themselves for a long time, which is a stranger we are familiar with.
Prose Creation:
Zhang Yanduo's prose works are fresh and pleasant, Gu Panyiran, grounded, upright, and have an aura. It shows the colorful scenery and unique ethnic customs of Yunnan, and the words flow with deep love for the Bai people and the ethnic minorities in western Yunnan. His prose works are good at organically unifying human feelings, poetry, the beauty and interest of nature, and construct a pure and beautiful art world with fresh and lively language, elegant and poetic classical style. From the heart, go with the flow, find another way, unique. There is not only a solid cultural "root", but also a transcendent artistic "spirit", which ignites the lamp of the soul that exists as the "hometown" between Cang'er.
An invisible spiritual highland is constructed
Mr. Zhang Yanduo not only created tangible literary and cultural objects for us, such as the reconstruction and expansion of the Chongsheng Temple, the "Colorful Moon", "Caiyun Does Not Invite Spring", "Sheep Tears", etc. in front of us, but also built an invisible spiritual highland for us.
He looked at literature and insisted that Qingshan would not relax. Laugh at life, take the suffering of life as a gift of life, and even a precious treasure. In his works, there is no complaint, no accusation, no condemnation, and the life of suffering is the warmth of warm colors, the fullness of love. This is the sentiment cultivated by literature, the mind and pattern forged by literature, the height of his examination of life, and the height of literary accomplishment. Because of the support of literature, his every turn is elegant and gorgeous. He enlightened us with his own literary life: in this life, there are more precious things than money and materials waiting for us to work hard and pursue, and the fanden of the spiritual highland is endless.
