Mei Xin Nanji, a fairy tale writer known as "Andersen of Japan", opened a window to a beautiful soul for readers with imaginative words. storyline

A bird and a tree are good friends. Birds sing to trees every day, and trees give birds a warm home. When winter comes, birds will fly to the south for the winter. They made an appointment to meet again next spring. A year later, the bird flew back. By asking about the root of the tree, the factory gate and the little girl, it learned that the tree was cut down by workers, which caused a match to ignite and burn in kerosene lamps. The bird sang a song of last year to the kerosene lamp and the tree, stared at the flame for a while, and then flew away sadly.

This is the story told by Xin Meinan in Last Year's Tree. When I was a child, I read this story, but I was fascinated by it and couldn't understand the author's profound meaning. Now I'm holding a new fairy tale series from Dandelion Literature Museum and reliving those long-lost words, feeling deja vu. But this time, I'm not the little girl who just watches the fun. The sadness in Messina's muntjac works brought me to another world and felt another kind of feelings.

Special feeling

Reading Xin Min Nanji's fairy tales, you will find that he has special feelings for animals. A group of animals, happy or sad, sad or happy, dominate the fairy tale kingdom of New Minaki, in which the fox is the "king". Different from the cunning and bizarre fox images in China's fairy tales, his foxes are just like those in Pu Songling's Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio. The fox was sent to buy things, and the fox was right. The fox described by the former is naughty and lovely, because it can become a child, so the animals discuss sending it to buy oil. As a result, the fox ate up the oil he bought on the road. In Fox Quan, Fox Quan, who thinks he has done something wrong, secretly gives ice to eat chestnuts every day to make up for his guilt. One day, when he sneaked into the ice room to deliver chestnuts, he was found by the ice room. I don't know what happened. Ten soldiers thought Ah Quan was making trouble again, so they crept forward with matchlock guns and shot Ah Quan who was about to make a dash for the door. The two foxes in fairy tales have different life trajectories in the works of the new century, giving readers different feelings.

All kinds of people in the world

Words are a mirror of a writer's thoughts. Through the text of New Beauty Merger, we see a colorful picture and feel the author's feeling and helplessness about the world.

The natural scenery in my hometown has created the extraordinary sensibility of Xinmeida and Nanji. The complex family environment and special background such as poverty and physical weakness make him deeply sympathize with life in his works. Because of this, there is always a faint sadness in his words, just like Ah Quan who fell under ten bullets. But this is not the whole story. On the other side of sadness, he also tried to convey happiness in life to readers.

In "Goose's Birthday", the author tells a story: Goose's birthday is coming, because every time the weasel farts, it is smelly and loud, and everyone hesitates to invite him. After repeated discussions, it was finally decided to let the weasel come, on condition that he could not fart. The party went well and everyone was happy. Surprisingly, the weasel actually fainted on the ground. Diagnosed by the doctor, it turned out to be caused by a fart that had been suppressed for a long time.

The naughtiness and humor in this passage are completely different from the previous tragic style. As the author said, "My works contain my nature, temperament and lofty ideals." This is a new beauty, with its own colors, sounds, laughter and sadness.

gain distinction

As the most important Japanese fairy tale writer in the first half of the 20th century, Mei Xin Nanzhi is as famous as Kenji Miyazawa and Ogawa Mimei. Known as "Andersen of Japan",/kloc-began to write nursery rhymes and fairy tales at the age of 0/4, and many works were selected into primary and secondary school textbooks. Japanese children's literature researcher Taozi Ishii once commented: "There is Kenji Miyazawa in the north and Nanji in the south." Like Kenji Miyazawa, he was single all his life and died young. Only compared with Kenji Miyazawa, his writing is more vivid and refined, and his short writing contains profound philosophy. Maybe this is a jealous genius. 1943, Mei Xin Lan Zhi died of tuberculosis. He was only 30 years old that year.

The author once said: "If my work can be recognized by people hundreds or thousands of years later, then I can get a second life from it!" ! How happy I am from this perspective! "Decades later, his works were not only widely circulated in Japan, but also exported overseas. I wonder if the new beauty Ji, who is now far away in heaven, feels what he calls happiness?
