Oh, what does Xiangxue pencil box symbolize?

The article "Oh, Xiang Xue" gives a special description of the pattern on the pencil case, which represents the civilization outside the mountain, the symbol of culture and knowledge, and the symbol of modern civilization. Pursuing it means yearning for modern civilization, yearning for knowledge, yearning for maintaining self-esteem, and yearning for changing one's life destiny and hometown destiny.

Young Xiang Xuehai unconsciously wants to find a way to "not be looked down upon". She believes that if she also has an automatic pencil box, she can win dignity "without answering people's repeated questions". This is the real meaning of the pencil case. It reproduces the self-love and self-esteem of the girls in the mountains and their pursuit of civilization, giving people the enlightenment of the beauty of life.

Oh, sweet snow

Oh, Xiang Xue is a famous masterpiece of contemporary writer Tie Ning, which was written in 1982. In Tie Ning's own words, the novel tells how a group of girls who have never walked out of the mountains, like lovers, wait for a train that only stops at their village entrance for one minute every night.

The central event of the novel is that Xiang Xuehai resolutely stepped on the train within one minute after the train stopped, and exchanged her hard-earned forty eggs for an automatic pencil box. "Pencil box" is the key image of the novel, and Xiang Xue's "treasure box" occupies an important position in the novel.
