It is said that the preservation power of nature is unparalleled, but unparalleled nature cannot make a flower bright for a hundred years. Especially the fragrant and beautiful flowers, it is easier to disappear the jade. Or can people, with their short lives, cultivate the wonders of a thousand years of gratitude.
This flower, is a woman.
Looking at ancient and modern China and abroad, which great writer is not the master of flower preservation? After Cao Xueqin, who has China, kept hundreds of fancy women fresh in the garden of "Dream of the Red Chamber", Tolstoy, who preserved Anna Karenina, Katyusha Maslova, and Natasha Rostova, is not so lonely.
China was originally a country where flowers were fresh and everyone came out, so that in modern times, there were lu xun, Shen Congwen, Sun Li, Wang Zengqi and others. Let's talk about Wang Zengqi, the kind of respect, love, understanding and appreciation for women, the kind of discovery and exploration of women's beauty and kindness, can really be called a generation of songs. His premature death, which cannot but be said to be a great loss to women in the first place, has also caused them to lose a real confidant.
Why can a woman touch these delicate and great hearts so much? In addition to beauty, there is extra pain, and even beauty is in pain.
When Wang Zengqi talked about his teacher's inheritance, he once talked about an ancient literary scholar called Gui Youguang. Reading the prose of Gui Youguang at night, carefully pondering, and exploring the secret places of Gui and Wang's souls, I found a clear and vocal vein of communication, a vein of love and sympathy for women, flowing from ancient times to today, and from today to the future. Gui Youguang's most famous essay, "Xiang Ridge Xuanzhi", records the infinite thoughts of grandmothers, mothers, wives, and grandmothers and maids. The phrase "There is a loquat tree in the garden, and the one planted by my wife in the year of her death is now like a pavilion", which is still stirring the hearts of many people.
In the era of despotism, the "virgin" who marries the chicken and follows the chicken, and the husband who dies is disciplined and martyred, is the "right way" that is praised and prescribed, and it is this "right way" that destroys the youth, life and joy of countless women. The "Treatise on virginity" with the light is openly opposed to this "right way", and the split head says: "A woman who is not married, or who dies for her husband, and who does not change her life, is indecent", and then exposes the immorality and loss of humanity of this kind of observance of discipline and martyrdom, "which is the qi of obedience and yin and yang, and the sum of heaven and earth." Born in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, Gui Youguang, grandfather and father were never officials in their lives, although he was full of literary talent, he also went to Beijing to participate in the examination for 24 consecutive years and did not win the first place. It is now impossible to explore the specific waves, frustration, sorrow, pain, and sadness of the inner world of the light hundreds of years ago, but happiness and comfort must also exist. And this happiness and comfort, many of which come from women and the shaping and preservation of women's beautiful character. The "Funeral of The Cold Flower" of the Hundred Crosses has made the liveliness and cuteness of a dowry maid, and the sadness of her early death, jump on the paper with sound and color--is she still hanging a pair of ring-shaped buns on a cold winter day, and the fire is boiling water chestnuts? Is she still flickering her eyes and eating according to the table?
Most of the readers, in the imperial dictatorship, played the role of ruler tools and answering bugs. As a literati with no job, no power, and no money, I stepped forward, spoke out, and was willing to dare to establish a biography for ordinary women, praise them from the bottom of my heart, and uphold justice for them, truly making me, a modern person, admire and shame. His "Book zhang zhennu's death" must not be read. Sometimes, we think of ourselves as modern people, thinking that they are much smarter and more advanced than the ancient people. In fact, we who are confined to the vortex of historical inertia are often more backward than the ancient people, and those ancient people who think independently and are just and amorous can just surpass the time and space of hundreds of years and thousands of years, and have fresh modernity and advancedness. How to treat women is a mirror. In this mirror, Guiyouguang is such an ancient person with modernity and advanced nature. It is his article that preserves for us a strange woman who is out of the mud and not stained, who dares to fight to the death, and who has an independent character. Zhang Zhen's daughter is newly married to the Wang family, her father-in-law and husband are all faint and useless people, and the mother-in-law and the hooligans wantonly lasciviously and force her to associate with the defilement. In the face of rape, Zhang Zhennu, who was only 19 years old, did not hesitate, stood up and refused, exhorted, scolded, pestle, and resisted step by step. Gui Youguang praised her as "ladylike" and "alone with a white blade and not worried, but not a virtuous!" He admired "lamenting his childhood, his self-reliance, his awe-inspiring bones." With the writing of "communication" and "reportage", he truly recorded the whole process of Zhang Zhennu's incident, and looked forward to Zhang Zhennu's deeds being recorded in the annals of history like an emperor's general: "Because of repeated proofreading, I wrote its beginning and end, in preparation for Shi's choice." ”
This is tantamount to a rebellion. What did the saint say? "Only women and villains are difficult to raise, close is not inferior, far away is resentful." What does it mean to have light? "The justice of heaven and earth is almost exhausted, and it is only seen among women. It is advisable for our generations to cultivate it so that it will flourish; it is not advisable to discourage it and make it go down; such relations are not shallow in the world."
How can a reader who is almost as weak as a woman have such a sufficient confidence? Without him, only because the woman herself has this texture that is enduring and incorruptible. The existence and appearance of these preservation masters is not only the luck of women, but also the luck of human beings.
It is said that men are stones, mountains, awe-inspiring, majestic, vigorous, and invincible. Women are water, are oceans, supple, quiet, silent, and at ease with encounters. But who sets the male yang and female yin? And who said that the woman is the moon and the man is the sun? Maybe human beings are mistaken at the beginning, originally it was a male yin and female yang, and a woman was the sun that only knew how to give and warm the world.
In this way, even if we do not have the ability to keep flowers fresh, we must cultivate the quality of discovering, appreciating, loving, and admiring the beauty and fragrance of flowers. In this way, we can get a little bit out of the ugliness.
