Is the discussion between the new and the old necessarily advanced and the old necessarily backward?

On summer nights, the breeze brings rare coolness to the day. Father and son sat under the buttonwood tree in the yard, quietly enjoying the night scene. There was silence all around, only unknown insects were singing in a low voice. The stars in the sky arouse people's infinite reverie. The mottled shadows of Chinese parasol trees dance with the wind.

Bang! A small and clear voice broke the silence. The three men looked up and saw an old skin peeling off the old trunk of the buttonwood tree, revealing a fresh new skin.

My daughter can't help but feel deeply about the old bark that fell to the ground; "You see, this old bark left the post without hesitation after completing its mission and gave way to a new bark. How precious! Its scars tell us that it was blown by the wind and struck by lightning. It is loyal to its post and contributes without regrets. But it won't miss this world. When its life is coming to an end, it still left, without any regret or luxury. " The daughter said, leaning over and holding the vicissitudes of the old bark, staring quietly.

The son said, "The alternation between the old and the new is an irresistible law of all things. The old bark is admirable, but isn't this energetic new bark more commendable? Its appearance has brought new hope to this buttonwood tree and heralded a new beginning of life. Isn't that subtle and clear burst a hymn of life? Dad, what do you think? " My son blushed with excitement.

The father, who had been sitting there silently, touched their heads affectionately and said affectionately, "You are all very well. I hope that everything in the world can be as vigorous and selfless as you two said, and sing a never-ending song of life. "

There was another silence. Under the buttonwood tree, the three of them listened attentively to the hymn of worms for life.

Example 2: Nostalgia, Dirty Fashion

It makes people nostalgic.

At that time, the light quietly erased the pain in the memory, and the old things became their own wealth.

When people calm down, the past has become a dry flower in the backpack, broken into fine slag, but still clinging to the familiar breath, giving me comfort and support in the real air.

If the essential feature of fashion is the surge of innovation and change, then the word nostalgia is almost like the antonym of fashion. However, things in the world are sometimes really wonderful. Nostalgia has not only become a fashion at present, but also one of the most fashionable styles in many fashion categories.

Perhaps, in the old days, people looked for the future like children, but now these people who have experienced vicissitudes seem to realize that some things in life may not exist in the future, but may have accidentally fallen into the past years, so they woke up and turned their attention to the old days.

This epiphany-like emotion suddenly spread like fog in this city one morning or one evening, and stunned a large group of people. In this way, this emotion called nostalgia is wordless, endless and inextricable, and it has quickly become a fashion like a trend.

A person's homesickness is often attached to some old acquaintances, old stories and antiques, while the homesickness of a city is often depicted in old maps, old roads and old buildings. Nostalgia is like lingering smoke, which often floats in a person's mind.

Marguerite duras wrote at the beginning of Lover: "I am old, and one day …". So vast, the bleak breath will come head on, not impetuous, not artificial. Duras' nostalgia is clean and transparent.

This is a materialistic era. Nostalgia is an attitude towards life and a philosophy of life. In the jungle of reinforced concrete, there are more and more artificial nature. People miss the grass and trees in the corner of childhood more than ever before, and miss the mixed smell of rice flowers and jasmine flowers.

In fact, we are nostalgic every year. Homesickness is an eternal homesickness. Looking for the beauty of the lost years from the old traces and savoring the vicissitudes of the long years from the memories are no exception, whether it is a talented person or a grassroots.

Many parts of the world-especially material life-are not decided by one person, so many objects naturally become a part of life, even experiences or memories. In one-on-one consumption, goods become an emotional object in the process of recalling life in time. Therefore, the replacement of old things by new things does not separate the relationship between new and old. Each specific old is only a sub-tradition within a larger tradition, participating in the historical diversity of the big tradition, so the disappearance of a specific old does not mean the disappearance of the whole tradition.

In the past, we thought that the new and the old were mutually exclusive. Because the old usually means stability, and the old things have made us feel happy, so why innovate again? On the contrary, the new usually means subverting the old. Now we find that this idea is incorrect. The new and the old can coexist and complement each other. All you have to do is dig up an old good thing and give it new ideas. Any old thing will immediately become a new popular element.

Think about it, we are really facing a good era, all the creative materials of human beings in the past thousands of years. As long as you increase your memory and creativity, anything old can become something new! After decades of neglect, China's double-breasted jacket became popular in the Tang Dynasty. But today's Tang suit is not a simple revival. Compared with the style of 50 years ago, the Tang suit changed the sleeves to outer sleeves, further highlighting the human body lines. A new combination was made to make the old style more attractive. In short, nostalgia is eternal, but the connotation of nostalgia is changeable. So I am convinced that this is the trend of the times, and a proper combination of the old and the new will become a unique new one!

From another point of view, today's nostalgic trend is getting worse and worse, and it has become a fashion. Nostalgia is, in the final analysis, an evocation of past memories, a yearning for the past, and an innovative experience. The changes of the times doomed us to nostalgia. When we miss the past together, nostalgia inevitably becomes a trend. ...

New and old

Yan Haoyang, Grade Three1Class 2, 2005

When I read "the legendary swordsman", Dan Qingsheng added ten years' new wine to fifty years' old wine, but the old wine suddenly lost the dry and strong gas produced by years' storage, added the sweetness of the new wine to the old wine, and the new wine added the aftertaste of the old wine, which blended with each other and made people memorable.

I suddenly realized that there is no contradiction between the old and the new. Only when the old and the new blend and reflect each other can we glow with real beauty.

Because the old is the new foundation. New things cannot be created out of thin air, but they are often the inheritance and development of old things. If the new one is a shelf, the old one is a foundation. Without support, new things are just castles in the air. Think of how many angry youths beat Confucius and Confucianism and sang the so-called "new culture" in the dark days of that culture. History has proved that blindly ignoring the "new" or even unilaterally denying the "old" is a shame in the history of culture. The popular theory of "harmonious society" is actually worth tasting. Isn't this the brilliance of Confucius' thoughts of "benevolence" and "harmony" in the new era? ! The new, whether it is development or transformation, must always be based on the old, in order to gain a foothold.

The new is an excellent supplement to the old, and it is a sublation of the old. It is also a terrible prejudice to cling to the remnants and stand still. For example, in the late Qing Dynasty, the development of capitalism has changed with each passing day, and institutional civilization has been ahead of an era. North Korea's big bosses still hold the idea that "foreigners are not enough, only objects are desirable" and stick to the ethical level of Confucianism. The so-called "middle school as the body" is nothing more than a bitter blood and tears when Puyi died. The old always needs new development, inheritance and change to maintain vitality for a long time. Just like the word "benevolence" in Confucius' hand, Confucianism evolved into the theory of "natural justice" by Zhu, which became Wang Yangming's "mind study" at the end of Ming Dynasty, and was also the transformation and innovation of Huang Zongxi and Wang Fuzhi in Qing Dynasty. Confucianism, once said, will last forever in the long river of history and shine with eternal glory in the changes of the times. I have to say that it is a contribution that connects the past with the future.

The new one is like a child with a bun hanging down, and the old one is like an old man with a beard. Children always rely on the support and guidance of their elders to grow up, while the elderly are dying, and there is always that youthful vitality to supplement and inherit.

Saint Ceng Yun: Without Zhong Ni, day would be like night. However, I don't know, if there is no inheritance and transformation of future generations, Zhong Ni will just be forgotten soon, or will it be as stiff as an old corpse for thousands of years. It's really "white as night".

This is the relationship between "new" and "old", which is not antagonistic, but indispensable. Only by careful consideration and treatment can we complement each other and glow with real and lasting beauty!
