01
Research on the Morphology of Ethnic Music
Classic segment:
In mainland traditional thought, although the old and solemn are more speculative and metaphysical than the Confucians, their starting point and their destination are still above real life.

Post-90s musicians
Reading experience:
In our time, aesthetic tendencies have many modern features. For example, in recent years, the popular "Morandi hue", "lonely wind", "Nordic wind", "cyberpunk"... In general, it advocates a lean, subtle aesthetic. Even cyberpunk dominates the delicate lines, sharply angled vision, and the sense of alienation from people.
In contrast, traditional Chinese folk songs, especially northern folk songs, appear to be very "earthy". The big red flowers and green leaves do not attract the younger generation of listeners. Chinese art is particularly people-oriented, but if there is no way to resonate with the audience, then such music will inevitably lose its vitality.
How to integrate the context of traditional music with modern aesthetics, and how to combine it with the actual situation of people today? This is my reflection as an expressor.
02
The Knife and the Stars
Classic segment:
What the film presents to the audience should not be moral right and wrong, but moral dilemmas, so that life can progress. The advanced narrative art is to confuse right and wrong, and film is the narrative art of audiovisuality, so human beings invented film not to see stars, but to examine themselves. Compared with novels and dramas, the realistic images of the film are more able to reflect the personal situation - the audience can synchronize in time and empathize with the characters in the film. This is the biggest charm of the film I have so far understood, the personal situation is a metaphor for the overall situation of human beings, so the short film can compete with the novel, the actual content is less and the metaphor is more.

Reading experience:
Xu Haofeng is the screenwriter of the movie "A Generation of Grandmasters", and also created films such as "The Trail of Wokou" and "Master", which almost changed the direction of martial arts films. The articles in this film review collection are wonderful, not only analyzing film genres such as martial arts movies, sword fairy films, and Hong Kong New Year films, but also conducting in-depth analysis of popular movies such as "Hero", "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and "Chibi". Not only does it provide the perspective of the director and screenwriter, but also the detailed analysis from each shot and action, and what is more admirable is that he can also grasp the essence of the film from the aspects of culture and values.
His writing is humorous, objective, and he does not hesitate to give his own evaluation, and his unconventional analysis is very friendly to a layman like me, so that the human body is sincere and convincing. This made me realize that film as an art, watching hilarity and watching doorways can bring satisfaction.
03
《Self-driven Management》
Classic segment:
If you are a junior manager, did you step into these three misunderstandings at the beginning of management? One is that they like to do it directly; the second is to treat management as an order; the third is to be a "fire captain" every day? Is that all you can do to lead a good team? Apparently not. The real purpose of leading a team is to create efficient performance. Then, Lao Xu will teach you to build a "five-force model" that a high-performing manager must have.

The Storm of Karabo
Classic segment:
The era we experienced together, locked in the silent darkness of time, disappeared. And we are still walking alone somewhere in the world, and I don't know how long my search for her will last. Time is fair, and after time, the people you love and the people you hate all become the past.
Huang En
37-year-old curtain wall engineer
Reading experience:
I'm a curtain wall engineer at a construction company in Optics Valley, and when you read my message, I'm probably on my way from Wuhan to Xi'an. Because of the work, it is necessary to travel frequently between the company and the whole country.
Whenever I go to a city, I look for novels related to the city to read. For example, on the way to and from Xi'an, read Chen Zhongzhong's "White Deer Plain" and Hong Ke's "Kalab Storm". Go to Changsha and read Horton's "Just Like That's It." Go to Shanghai and read Jin Yucheng's "Blossoms". Go to Suzhou, read "Young Babylon" in the road, and so on. After a day of looking at the drawings, after the day-and-night rush to complete the work node, pull out an e-book or a paper novel, like starting a conversation with a friend. Reading novels on the road, the mood and the way to the road suddenly smooth, increased my expectations, knowledge, and love for the city.
05
The Book of Fu Lei
Classic segment:
Sincerity is the first key to art. To know is to know, not to know is not to know. Sincere "not understanding" is better than insincere "understanding". The most disgusting thing is self-righteousness and self-understanding. With sincerity, there will be an open mind, and with an open mind, only then will we be willing to abandon ourselves to understand others, and only then can we put aside our false self-esteem to understand ourselves. Building on the love of understanding oneself and understanding others is not blind love.
Feng Jingjing Carrie
35 years old Personnel management
Reading experience:
I always thought that men's expressions were always only a few words, it was difficult to imagine that a successful man as a famous translator could write dozens of letters to his son in a year, and I did not expect that Mr. Fu Lei's father-son feelings in the letter were overflowing with words, such as: "Child, child, child, how can I hug you to express my regret and love!" ”
It is true that in modern society, too many emotions are buried in the bottom of the heart, and if parents do not know how to express love, they often have a lot of misunderstandings with their children. After reading this book, I shared it with the whole family, and I hope to use Fu Lei's way and concept of treating his son to educate his son, and anyone who wants to express it to his child, no matter what the reason, does not hold it in his heart.
06
Nonviolent Communication
Classic segment:
The first element of nonviolent communication is observation. By conflating observation with commentary, others tend to hear criticism and refute us. Nonviolent communication is dynamic language and does not advocate absolutist conclusions. In speaking, the clearer we speak of the response we want, the more likely we are to get the desired response. Since what we are trying to say may not be consistent with what others understand, sometimes we need to ask for feedback from others.
Chen Guangjin
46-year-old teacher of Optics Valley No. 8 Primary School
Reading experience:
Violence includes not only the use of force to cause physical harm to others, but also the use of language and other ways to cause mental harm to others, which is called "covert violence". Although the latter is not as harmful as the former, they are more harmful.
Nonviolence means integrating love into society, focusing on each other's observations, feelings, needs, and requests, which are the four elements of the nonviolent communication model. Communicating in language with the four elements helps to resolve many conflicts and contradictions at work and in life.

"Gratuitous Joy"
Classic segment:
Why a person can attract others, of course, is that his internal temperament spills out, which is unique, the external world has too many commonalities, we all know, so it loses attraction.
I never expected to attract others, I think it is very shallow, I have to attract myself to make me have a love for myself, in order to complete the next lonely and long days. This wish of mine is the best gift for myself.
Yi Xian
Post-70s urban management workers
Reading experience:
Recently, after watching Yu Xiuhua's "Gratuitous Joy", I was very happy. I have met Xiuhua himself, bought the author's autographed collection of poems, did not read, could not see, and did not like. Some time ago, after reading the forwarding of the circle of friends, I knew that Xiuhua could still write such a beautiful love, such a delicate sensibility and a text that directly pounded the soul.
Sincere, straightforward and thoughtful. Xiuhua's writing is liked by everyone, it is her pungent, straight and straight lyric. Xiuhua's writing deals heavily with culture and tradition, and she generally ends with sadness and powerlessness. She should have her own answer. Within the scope of her ability, Xiuhua overcame the unimaginable difficulties of ordinary people and extended her tentacles to infinite space.

Greek Mythology

Apollo falls in love with the banshee Dahune, but Dahunne rejects his quest. Her father turned her into a laurel tree. Apollo let the Roman general wear your crown of flowers on his head in triumphal cheers, and your branches and leaves will always receive glory. The laurel branch corolla was given to an excellent poet. Laurel and laurel are also used as symbols of victory and glory.

The Reader
Classic segment:
In this era of pan-entertainment, it is a blessing that "Readers" has not only survived, but also thrived. This proves that in our hearts, there is actually such a glimmer, hoping to be able to be with literature and reading. When the life of each reader is brought into the Reader, it begins to become abundant. It is no longer a form. It is an attitude, with its own humanistic care, recording the present.
Liu Ying
40-year-old social worker in Xingyuan Community on Huashan Street
Reading experience:
It's a cultural feast from television to books. There are no gorgeous words here, no noisy scenes, some are the host Dong Qing and the reader's cordial conversation, some are the readers and the reader's affectionate resonance, here is the stage of the storyteller, the readers have their own unforgettable stories, want to put their affection in the text, read to their own most powerful or most want to give the person to listen, in order to express their gratitude, or their deep love and wishes. Seemingly simple content settings, in fact, convey personal growth, emotional experience and life values.
Life does not sink by silence, but shines with reading. Calm down and listen to the sound of the waves of the heart sea, don't care about biting and chewing words, don't have to care about suppressing the ups and downs, just read with your heart, this is the meaning of the reader.

The open road will not be broad and smooth, but the great rivers and rivers, the rushing forward trend, is not any dangerous shoal reef, can block, where the road is, although tens of millions of people are looking forward to it, in the face of difficulties and obstacles, I am willing to fight for it!
