Anthropomorphic Sentences in Spring Festival Reading

For China people, the Spring Festival is the biggest festival in a year. The Spring Festival is the time to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new. Those traditional rituals and rules are full of awe and vigilance. Chinese New Year is a common memory of China people. From the works handed down from generation to generation, we can see how writers in different time and space experience and observe the Spring Festival. Under the masterstroke of Liang Shiqiu, Lu Xun, Zhang Ailing, Lao She, Feng Zikai, Shen Congwen and other literary masters, the scene of the New Year has a unique meaning:

Mr. Liang Shiqiu was born in 1903 and experienced the social life in Beijing in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China. In his article "Chinese New Year", he recalled the traditional "old-fashioned" Chinese New Year custom in China. Many people's enthusiasm for the Chinese New Year gradually faded when they grew up, while Mr. Liang said that he didn't like the Chinese New Year when he was a child. So his description of the old customs at that time was also carried out in a humorous tone. For example, "except for a small hole in the door of the oil and salt shop, all the shops in the street are made of wooden boards, and there are always gongs and drums ringing and banging, which is disorganized and unreasonable." It is said that those guys came to vent their grievances accumulated for a year. The girls and kannika nimtragol went out, and the mothers in Sanhe county wore a trembling red velvet flower on their heads. Where there are big girls and little wives, there are more furry boys crawling around. So the factory was packed, and there was nothing to see in Wanghai Village except a few open-air teahouses and children with runny noses, but the entrance could squeeze people to death! " "The ancient jade stalls in the Vulcan Temple, the bookstall and painting shed in the Earth Temple are much more lively and less shopping. It's sunny and snowy, the streets are muddy, the cool wind blows, and the water drops turn into ice. People are rolling in the ice and snow, so sweet. " These funny "spits" make people laugh.

Mr. Lu Xun's attitude towards the old calendar year seems very dull. 1934, in an article entitled "Chinese New Year", he said, "It's only 23 years since the old calendar year, but this time there were three nights of flower explosions, which made the foreigner next door hiss: this and flower explosions have become my only happiness in a year." It can be seen that Lu Xun has always been very indifferent to the old calendar year. For example, 1934 generally has little interest in Chinese New Year.

1946 At the beginning of this year, Zhang Ailing went from Shanghai to Wenzhou to look for Hu Lancheng. On the way, she wrote a note of more than 30,000 words-the story of a foreign land, which told the details of killing pigs in the countryside during the New Year, personifying the psychology of the pigs killed at that time: "The sharp knife stuck into the pig's throat, and its cry did not change, but it fell down screaming. Until the end, it gave a short grunt, like an old man's sigh, indicating that these people were unreasonable. Silence from now on ... "

As a representative of old Beijingers, Mr. Lao She is familiar with the customs of old Beijing. 195 1, he wrote a special article "Spring Festival in Beijing", describing the schedule, activities, food, etiquette and landscape before and after the Spring Festival in Beijing: "After 23, everyone will be busier, and the new year will arrive in a blink of an eye. Before New Year's Eve, every household should put up Spring Festival couplets and have a general cleaning, which is called general cleaning. We must prepare enough meat, chicken, fish, vegetables and rice cakes for at least a week-according to the old custom, most shopkeepers close their doors in Wutian Gate until the sixth day of the first month. If you don't prepare food for the next few days, it's not easy to make up temporarily. Also, in the old society, mom and dad said that it was unlucky to cut everything that should be cut on New Year's Eve, so that the knives from the first day to the fifth day of the first month could be saved. This means superstition, but it also shows that we are really peace-loving people. When we are one year old, we don't even want to move the kitchen knife. "

Mr. Feng Zikai's cartoons have always been famous for their meaningful artistic conception. In his prose "Chinese New Year", his memories of the Spring Festival are also full of simple life breath, and he also found his own destiny with art: "I remember enjoying the Liushen brand and the red paper cover on the sacrificial plate at that time. This six gods card is beautifully painted. There are six editions, and several bodhisattvas are painted on each edition, including Buddha, Guanyin, Jade Emperor, Confucius, Wenchang Emperor and Kuixing. Usually folded and displayed in front of the hall, not allowed to open and watch. At this time, the exhibition will be held. The red paper covers on the sacrificial plate were all cut by my aunt, and the words "Fulu Xi Shou", "Yipin Imperial Court" and "Sanpin Promotion" were all cut out and cleverly embedded in the inside. I was only seven or eight years old at that time, and I loved these things, which showed that I had something to do with art. "

Shen Congwen's creation is often set in Xiangxi, which makes him a cultural symbol of Xiangxi. As for the old customs of Xiangxi, Mr. Shen Congwen also recalled in Memories of New Year in Xiangxi: "My hometown is a small county with less than 10,000 residents on the edge of Xiangxi, but the lion dragon lantern fireworks half a century ago are very famous in various counties in Xiangxi. With the qualification of urchin, I followed the team with hundreds of urchins everywhere and spent it with everyone in firecrackers and fireworks. People who play with lanterns should not only rely on strength, but also be brave. To show that the hero is fearless, every time fireworks rise in the stadium, white light pours several feet, and some roar like thunder. However, these people have to go into battle shirtless as usual, whether it is "thunderbolt" or "tiger down the mountain". We are too young to take part in such strenuous activities, so we can only refuel while we are busy. Because we can always follow the team, and the horses will not wander until it is almost white and everyone is exhausted. Accompanied by an old fisherman and a clam shell essence. As usual, clam shell essence chose a handsome boy of twelve or thirteen to act as it. The old fisherman's white beard and hair are all the same, which is ridiculous. "
