What is the theme of Wang Zengqi's Four Sides Eating?

(A) Wang Zengqi's prose

Wang Zengqi's prose is free and unrestrained; Creating an atmosphere to write emotions has natural randomness. But he showed his personality and style more.

First, the wet view of his prose. The concept of moistening is manifested in two aspects: 1. It is an all-round aesthetic consciousness. Wang Zengqi's prose focuses on history, anecdotes, flowers, insects and fish, and diet in all directions. Although it is not consciously for the purpose of preaching, it is not based on a certain value, but consciously based on moisturizing. For example, the "taste" in "Four Facts" has a broad vision, from eating mutton in Inner Mongolia to eating shrimp in his hometown, and then eating spicy food in Yunnan and Guizhou to eating onions in Shandong. The endless facts not only give people beautiful enjoyment, but also bury a beautiful wish: "You can eat some things without yourself, but don't object to others' eating", so that readers can get a tolerant nourishment in leisurely enjoyment. 2. The ultimate goal of keeping things quiet is the rest of the culture. The connotation of this cultural rest is culture, health and leisure. Wang Zengqi believes that prose should provide readers with cultural rest, so his motivation for prose creation is very kind. The inner feelings of his works are pleasant, even if he writes some painful topics. If the body has a severe toothache, he will "take it in stride, with a little schadenfreude: I want to see what flower you hurt!" "Although Wang Zengqi believes that he is not sad, he is by no means a Wahaha smiling bodhisattva, an old man who gives people a cheap smile. Although he often smiles because he wants readers to come to the quiet harbor of his prose to relax for a while, he shows readers a colorful and colorful life. I can't help asking you to increase your knowledge in your spare time.

Secondly, his aesthetic ideal: harmony is the most important, and harmony is achieved in equality and tolerance. Wang Zengqi's prose advocates harmony, which is closely related to his concept of nourishing prose. It is precisely because he wants his readers to have a cultural rest in his prose that harmony between heaven and earth becomes particularly important. Wang Zengqi is more restrained and tolerant. He has lived in Beijing Hutong for a long time and is familiar with Hutong culture with forbearance as its essence. However, he did not blindly accommodate the hutong culture, but used his water to transform the hutong culture and formed Wang's hutong flavor. This change is not mysterious, but advocates equality, so as to draw a clear line between his tolerance and the passive tolerance in hutong culture. Although this worship of equality is simple and primitive, it makes Wang Zengqi's creation full of vitality and lively. For example, in Lincoln's Nose, it deeply regrets that Americans like to touch Lincoln's nose (because touching it will bring good luck). "Anyone can touch his nose, so can Lincoln's nose. No one's nose is sacred. It is concluded that "freedom is based on equality. In China, it is necessary to advocate this spirit of being born equal. (selected from the preface of Fan Peisong. )
