——Reading Yu Qiuyu's "Cultural Journey" has a feeling
Zhou Xuwei/Wen
The first time I read Yu Qiuyu's "Cultural Journey", it was said that it also stemmed from a period of chance. Once, at a gathering at a friend's house engaged in educational work, there was a beautifully bound book on the writing desk in the study, and out of curiosity, I flipped through a few pages, and then I was attracted by the author's magnificent and flowing words, as if the hungry sheep suddenly entered a large grassland with fertile grass, and their minds could not help but be attracted at once. My friend is also a trustee who has just bought it from out of town, how can I be satisfied? "Books cannot be read without borrowing", I also have the same, but I can only write a "wait" in my heart, and then get the treasure from my friends, so I have the next text. — Caption
For a famous scholar like Yu Qiuyu, who has learned five cars and is only eight buckets high, I do not have the slightest qualifications and qualifications to judge the head. Leaving aside these, as a muse worshipper and a lover of literature, with the love and longing for history, culture and literature in my bones, I think it is not impossible to talk about what I feel after reading it.
"Cultural Journey" is a travel essay written by Yu Qiuyu, who uses his footsteps as a measure, takes the promotion of ancient monument culture as his responsibility, and uses the ancient monument culture to dialectical modern civilization with the perception of the ancient monument culture. Height determines the field of vision, size grasps life, he stands on the Qin Great Wall that stretches for thousands of miles, with a keen and sharp perspective, across the tunnel of time, let us faintly see Sichuan Shu Shou Li Bing holding a long shovel, standing on the edge of the gushing river, completing the original shape of a "shou" character; in the hazy, he saw the quiet and serene thousand-year-old town in Jiangnan, and the ancient stone arch bridge glowed more enchanting in the misty drizzle of history; across the tide of a thousand years, he saw the dream of Dunhuang fairies flying in the subversion of the years.... Reading his cultural essays, the mood will be involuntarily heavy, in a rational, solemn, severe let you swim in the ocean of long culture, let your thoughts in his pen tip accompanied by the remaining ruins of the ups and downs. Historical monuments, historical ruins, historical culture as a heritage of human civilization and the spiritual essence left to us by history are without distinction between nationality and nobility and inferiority, just like the water on the earth, whether it is the water of the plateau, the water of the waves, or the water of the mighty rivers, its role is the same. Through the Qin Emperor Han Wu, Tang Zong Song Zu, wash away the remaining mottled rust of Jinge Iron, it brings us more of a kind of soul shock, a kind of spiritual thinking, a kind of ideological baptism, let us remember the glorious history at the same time, more is a kind of ancient splendid culture of a kind of blind contemplation and some rational philosophical thinking.
Using pen and ink to commemorate history, using Chinese characters to stimulate culture, and using erudition and talent to dialectical history and culture are Yu Qiuyu's worship and rational dialectic of Chinese history that transcends time and space. "Cultural Journey" is Yu Qiuyu's ideological touch on China's history, culture, and scenic spots from perceptual cognition to rational understanding, and a cultural leap beyond history itself.
"Cultural Journey" is like a thick chronicle, which requires you to use dialectical thinking to look at and weigh with wise logic. Careful consideration also seems to be reading a history of the cultural development of a nation. I think that Yu Qiuyu must also be using the soul of a writer, dialectician, and thinker to bow down to Chinese history, and only then did he have an epiphany about historical monuments and understanding of history and culture. His writing is sharp, exquisite, and his mind wanders; his writing style is cheerful and aggressive, and his writing is more than enough, and the article is full of splendor and grandeur, magnificent, and the words are like pearls; the meaning is profound and philosophical, making people feel like entering the vast steppe, and suddenly opening up in front of them, and there is a kind of ethereal impulse in the mood, and there is a feeling of empowerment; and in a trance, it seems to enter the thunderous waterfall, and your mind is instantly attracted by her. I think this is the magic of the literati, the pen and ink are stormy, the spirit is swinging back to the intestines, and the history of yesterday is collected between the pipes and bamboo.
Without full enthusiasm for history and culture, without the familiarity, profound understanding of China's long history, and deep and broad cultural heritage, there will be no such unique insight. Some people say that Yu Qiuyu's "Cultural Journey" is a ruin culture, and its practical significance has historical limitations. But I don't think so, the ruins are an extinct specimen of culture, and the ruins are also a powerful philosophical culture, the ruins awaken our sleeping souls, and lash out at us not to forget the humiliation and tears imprinted on the ruins. Only in this way will the ruins not be dried by the wind of history, and will not be turned into mud and dust, and I think it is precisely the philosophical culture derived from these decadent and decaying ruins that we cannot enjoy inexhaustibly. Just as Guo Moruo's evaluation of "Liaozhai Zhiyi": thorn greed and abuse, into the wood three points. Across the giant wheel of history, yu Qiuyu used modern people's civilization to overlook the ruin culture left behind by history, he came all the way from "Archway" and "Dujiangyan" to "Yangguan Xue", "Mogao Grottoes", "Ruins", etc. Yu Qiuyu stabbed and abused historical monuments and ruin culture, and entered the wood, touching the hidden cultural energy of a nation, allowing us to rekindle the deep traceability of history and culture in our hearts, looking back at history is also a kind of learning, a kind of cultural heritage is inclusively inherited. If a historical monument is just a building or statue that makes future generations sigh or look at, then it is rigid and does not mean much in itself. In this sense, she understands Chinese history by reading "Cultural Journey", and she has sublimated the history and culture and ruin culture to a pole, a realm of absolute beauty, a level that can only be understood ineffable. Archimedes, an ancient Greek scientist, said: If you give me a fulcrum, I will pry up the whole earth; in this sense, it can be said that Yu Qiuyu has supported China's ruin culture with the pace of travelers, the vision of thinkers, and the screening of archaeologists, and awakened the chinese people's worship of history and culture.
As Yu Qiuyu wrote in the article: "It is the modern philosophy of history that has ignited the ruins, and the philosophy of history also needs to find materials." It is only in the hustle and bustle of modern times that the tranquility of the ruins has strength; it is only in the contemplation of modern man that the ruins can rise to an allegory." We, carrying the ruins, into the modern era.
