Yuan Hongdao and Wang Siren were prose writers in the late Ming Dynasty, and both became famous writers because of their unique creations. Yuan Hongdao said, "Lyrical and spiritual, informal, not flowing from his chest, refusing to write." Wang Siren, on the other hand, is humorous and cute, and the beauty is very different.
Wang Siren Xingshu Fan surface
Yuan Hongdao's articles are quite natural and elegant, vivid and fresh, water machine literary heart, the warmth and nature of the pulse that can be felt when reading, and the natural repetition is an extremely prominent feature of Yuan Hongdao's prose. As he wrote in Song You II:
The water came out of the place, the first sticky wall, the fog and snow flew, suddenly fell into the air, a thousand threads straight down. The rocks are crumbs, scattered in a stream. When the time is down, the sun and the smoke are thin, and the waterfall splashes, the wind restores the ecology, and the face is different. Go to the waterfall ten steps, the boulder is precarious, and the tourists each stand on a stone, looking at the waterfall and drinking. The wind is blowing suddenly, the thin spots are sprinkled, and the standing is trying to avoid, and the rain feet have been swept away.
Any metaphor is between nature and not deliberate, seeing the mind and describing the scene.
What about Wang Siren? He has similarities with Yuan Hongdao, but his imagination is more ethereal, and the article is rough and slippery, and the Ming Dynasty literati have already pointed out the characteristics of Wang Siren's writing: "Outside of the pen and ink, there must be clouds flying, and like Bai Qiong's light moon, the non-dust stomach can be led." And there are many reasons for new ideas, which have not been issued before.
as:
After walking for ten miles, I saw that the Great Dan of Tianmu Peak was depressed, and then the wild Buddha was homeless, turning into waste land, desolate smoke and grass, and broken and difficult to break. The peasant monk saw people shrinking, did not know what Li Taibai was, and could dream in front of fools? The mountain is the portal of Tongbai, the so-called "half of the wall to see the sea", "smell the chicken in the air", suspicious of its upside down. Up to the Stone Fan Cave Heaven, Qingya White Deer and Ge Hongdanqiu were in the ming dynasty, and they didn't know why they were fascinated by the offerings? The roof is like a heavenly grandmother, only when the children and grandchildren are a father, can they "pull out the five mountains to cover the red city"? The mountain spirit is powerful, and the dream of the offering is entered into, and the dream is chanted, and the heavenly grandmother and the roof are competing for the throne. Woohoo! Yamaya? Oh my?
Let's look at the comparison of two essays between the two men:
The stone stream is gushing, turning left from the path, and the Jade Pond is obtained. The stream rushes down, tossing and turning with the big stone, the square anger, the sudden flat stone, the rain leaves dozens of zhang, the bottom rules and the end, the water has to exhaust its repeated folding qi, so it brazenly ignores, the sound rushes, and the stone bucket stacks, suddenly falls into the pool, the water momentum can not be attached to the stone, then it is suspended in the air, flying obliquely for more than ten zhang and then falling, the rainbow rushes and falls, and the sound shakes between the valleys. (Yuan Hongdao)
A pavilion of hanjing, its size of five feet, four depressions and full, hence the name. Full of appearance, springs protrude, like beads, like crab eyes open, and like fish foam spitting out, vine grass is wet. (Wang Siren)
