Among the Writers of the Beijing School, Wang Zengqi is a name that cannot be bypassed. He is a writer who is rich in humanitarian spirit and modernity, and his novels and essays are of great aesthetic value, and the aesthetic character of writers can be appreciated from the text. In Wang Zengqi's works, the novel "Ordination" is one of the most important works, the novel has a strong human concern, paying attention to the nature of man and the direct core connotation of man and nature, with a strong enlightening significance. Today, we will enjoy the ten aphorisms written by Wang Zengqi, experience his spiritual connotation and the true meaning of life, and believe that you will be inspired.
In Wang Zengqi's body, he exudes the charm of traditional literati, and he is in the same vein as the personality of the scholar and the spiritual literature, and his works fully reflect his super high life realm. His novels and essays give people a sense of dilution, leisure, spirituality, and interest, and remove the vulgarity of daily life with the sentimental elegance of the literati, so that the works are full of poetry, and the broad and profound Chinese language blooms out of eternal charm. In addition, Wang Zengqi was influenced by Confucianism and Taoism, and for a time he was very fascinated by Zhuangzi, and his mentality of "settling with the encounter" reflected Zhuangzi's thoughts, so in his creations, he showed the traditional ideological tendencies of inner Confucianism and outer Taoism.
Prose is a style that Wang Zengqi attaches special importance to, although he once claimed that writing prose is to beat the rabbit in the grass and carry his feet, but he also stressed that when writing any literary work, the prose must be written well first, which shows that he attaches great importance to prose. His prose is flowing, diluting and peaceful, even with sad and indignant articles, implicitly restrained, to the point. From the content point of view, Wang Zengqi's prose liberal arts, humanistic history, grass and trees, characters, famous customs, art and cultural relics, etc. are all-encompassing, which can reflect his deep exploration of the nation and mankind and his love for life.
"Harmony" is Wang Zengqi's aesthetic pursuit, but also the aesthetic appeal of his novels, which is the collision of Chinese and Western literature, which gradually formed his aesthetic ideals. What he pursues is the harmony between man and society, man and nature, and at the same time pursues the harmony of life itself. Reading his novels will give people a sense of closeness, which is the embodiment of the author's simple personality, and also the embodiment of the harmony of language and problems pursued by the author. In his novels, Wang Zengqi deliberately breaks through the boundaries between novels and life, and draws nutrients from various literatures, such as: folk songs, oral prosody, folk sayings, the collocation of literary and colloquial languages, etc., and the harmonious use of these languages is so appropriate.
"Ordination" is one of Wang Zengqi's masterpieces of pursuit of harmony and beauty, the novel tells the ignorant love story between the little monk Minghai and the young girl Xiao Yingzi, and the deeper level of the novel is that the author pays attention to the harmony and beauty of life, including the harmony of nature, Buddha-nature, human nature, and the harmony between people. In "Ordination", various plot sections reflect the core connotation of the novel, that is, "harmony". The so-called "one side of the water and soil to raise one person", the protagonist Minghai and Xiaoyingzi's pure and simple temperament, and the place where they live perfectly integrate, reflecting the harmonious beauty between man and nature, and the innocence and nature of Minghai and Xiaoyingzi together is the harmonious embodiment between people.
Although the title of the novel is "Ordination", there is no description of the strict precepts of Buddhism throughout the text, which can show that the young monk Minghai is free and not bound by identity. MingHai represents the monks, Xiao Yingzi represents ordinary people, there is no boundary between them, and the ignorant love blends with Buddha-nature and human feelings, which is the "harmony" between Buddha-nature and human feelings. In addition, in the novel "Ordination", it depicts a paradise-like world, where there is no flattery, no deceit, the people here are industrious, kind, helpful, they have a piece of land to support people's lives, life is leisurely and free, and the author Wang Zengqi sketches a perfect picture of harmonious coexistence between people.
Although the society depicted in "Ordination" is an ideal society and is not very realistic, the goodness of human nature and the authenticity of life shown in the novel have enlightening significance for the construction of a harmonious society, which is also the "harmonious" beauty pursued by the author Wang Zengqi. Therefore, reading "Ordination" really enjoys, enjoys the innocent life without suspicion and deception, enjoys the harmonious relationship between man and nature, and enjoys the harmonious concept of love without identity boundaries, which is the highest state of human life, and no one does not yearn for it.
I really like Wang Zengqi's prose and novels, his works feel too comfortable, and "Ordination" is one of the most vivid and thorough works of the author's spiritual pursuit, and this novel was shortlisted for the most influential novel in the fortieth anniversary of China's reform and opening up. It is understood that Wang Zengqi was born on March 5, 1920, and today is the 102nd anniversary of his birth, so let's enjoy his ten aphorisms together, experience the harmonious beauty behind the words and the author's ultra-high pursuit of life and humanity.
