At the end of 2021, I read Ms. Liu Ping's prose collection "Walking in the Clouds of Mount Taishan", a prose masterpiece based on Zhong Lingyuxiu's Wuyue Duzun Taishan, which was grandly launched by Shanghai Literature and Art Publishing House. Born at the foot of Mount Taishan, the author grew up in school and lived and worked in peace and contentment, she is not only a sensitive news practitioner of current affairs, but also a literary lover who loves natural landscapes, perceives the scenery of Taishan's mountains and waters, grass and trees, and realizes the profound and profound taishan culture, which has a long history, and Liu Ping has taken advantage of the time and place. This book "Walking in the Clouds in Mount Taishan" is divided into three series: "Muyun in the Mountains", "Snow and Mud Claws", and "The Story of the Man", with a total of 120,000 words, which is a written record of Liu Ping's visit to Mount Taishan, reception of Mount Tai, and perception of Mount Tai in recent years. Introducing The culture of Taishan in a simple and simple way, carrying forward the story of Taishan in a telling and talking, and exploring the scenic spots and monuments of Mount Taishan in a meticulous way, Liu Ping uses her careful observation and in-depth thinking to write the dual charm of Taishan nature and culture.
"There is so much to this city and this mountain that we should savor, cherish and remember. When I felt and discovered, I intermittently wrote some essays related to Taishan culture, and this book "Walking in taishan clouds" is completely a derivative by-product of news works. Liu Ping said this about her new book. Liu Ping's prose is a spiritual mirror image of a generation of Tai'an people. Her Taishan is not only a natural existence, but also a splendid culture, not only often Zhong Lingyu shows between heaven and earth, but also full of historical and cultural charm. "Walking in the Clouds of Mount Taishan" witnesses the maturity, calmness and elegance of a female writer, Liu Ping. From feelings to understanding, from the office and study to the broad embrace of Taishan, Liu Ping's writing is not limited to looking up and looking down and personal reflection, but has begun to turn to the praise of Taishan's history, culture and spiritual connotations, and the subtle carving and chewing of Taishan's natural and cultural texture. She was so attentive and discreet, and so delicate and humble. Her words, which take away all impetuosity, have a poetic warmth and soothing, and this poetry and warmth is the transcendent spiritual dimension of natural landscape writing.
Liu Ping is committed to finding herself in touch with Taishan's heart in addition to cultural mountains and natural landscapes. When talking about her original intention of writing, Liu Ping said: "Taishan has many labels, such as cultural mountains, natural mountains, calligraphy mountains, etc., but in my heart, Taishan is a 'mountain of the soul', in Taishan, you can see a lot of things that echo the soul. My newly published book is to reflect the connection and echo of a human mind and Taishan from the dimension and height of time and space history, and to explore the cultural code of Taishan from the heart. Liu Ping expressed her thoughts and thoughts about living at the foot of Mount Tai in the book "Walking in the Clouds of Mount Tai", which has been her spiritual home for decades. Tarzan is both earth-shattering and poetic. Taishan is grand and thick and kind and natural, as a prose work based on Taishan, "Walking in Taishan By The Clouds" is a language flowing in the clouds, with a far-sighted vision, and the reader's sense of benefit from opening the volume is very strong. In "Walking in The Clouds of Mount Taishan", we can see not only the emperor will seal the Zen ceremony, but also the fine people in the city who lead the car to sell pulp, the author is self-satisfied in the prose, Liu Pingpin reads the broad and profound Taishan culture, and also exerts his understanding and understanding of life and years in the perception of Taishan walking in Tai'an. The book's literature and poetry complement each other perfectly, and it is a book with cultural heritage and emotional texture, a book with rich learning but heavy weights and simple depths, and a book with a fragrant literary heart. The reporter's professional sensitivity and the spiritual temperament of the literati, as well as the idle mood of climbing the mountain and the water, allow her to look at the history and future on the specific landscape scenic spots, and express her historical feelings and unique feelings by describing the ordinary waterfalls and waterfalls in Mount Tai, the cliffs and stone carvings and pavilions. Tai'an is a place where mountains and cities are interdependent, and the long history of depth is self-evident, and the royal weather of Dai Temple, the old streets paved with bluestone, the lush ancient trees and famous trees, and the foreign tourists everywhere are dazzling. Cultural meaning naturally penetrates into every writer who is in the middle, Liu Ping's flowing talent is different among many Taishan prose writers, her intuition is rich and precise, her imagination is rich and vast, the style of the article is stretched and she is well versed in the ins and outs of Taishan folk culture and folk customs. The whole book is elegant and transparent, the narrative is calm, and it adheres to the root of the son of Taishan, and does not lose the pure feelings and the vigorous vitality of the literary new sharp. Relying on her geographical advantages and daily details, she looks at the complexity and subtlety of a cultural mountain. She writes about the waves of various historical changes, confronts the limited and local nature of Tai'an, and is fascinated by the clear aesthetic texture of the breeze and white clouds.
In the preface, Liu Ping writes: "Instead of saying that I am shepherding clouds in Mount Taishan, I am also grazing my own mind and vision." Because in the process of moving through the clouds, the city and the grass and trees of this mountain, brick by brick, have a special meaning for me, becoming more vivid, more concrete, and more intimate. I also hope that I can pass on this feeling to more people, and present a different and richer perspective for people to understand Taishan culture and Tai'an, a famous cultural and historical city, in multiple dimensions." Liu Ping is a person with a dream, a writer who can create a literary world in the arms of Yu Mu. With a gentle gaze, elegant imagery and the sensual beauty of the writing, she constructed for herself a Taishan landscape where history and reality shine together, and thus marked the cultural height that she had reached in the spiritual imagination. Her prose exudes a delicate nostalgia and an almost brilliant beauty, a beauty that is difficult to let go. She is stating her personal memory of history and reality, so real and so unique, that the memory of the individual is integrated into the collective unconscious of history.
"Walking in the Clouds of Mount Taishan" is a song of vicissitudes and elegant culture. With a broad and long vision, profound and meticulous thinking, meticulous combing, and careful language, Liu Ping penetrates the tunnel of the history and culture of Mount Taishan in Dongyue, presenting us with the thick humanistic connotation and brilliant civilization achievements carried by Mount Tai. Taishan originated in ancient times and continues today; the emperors and generals of the upper mountains and the fine people of the city are connected to the next, and finally the unique mountain, bloodline, charm and soul of Taishan are cast. This is a history of the spiritual personality of Mount Taishan, and also a local history of regional civilization.
