Tianjin Wei is the Yan Zhao hometown, the blood is strong, the habit of strong wind. Only more than a hundred years, all of China's great disasters, all bear the brunt, because of the birth of a variety of strange characters, some in the upper level of the show, some in the city folk. The author will be these characters of the strange places, strange and wonderful things, one by one recorded down.

Among them, there is a dental treatment of Dr. Hua; there is a brush maker "brush Li"; and even specializing in the sale of family assets, sold by the richest man in Tianjin: Cai Erzhao, and so on. As the saying goes, "Three hundred and sixty professions, all of them have their own stars." The author of the world's strange people, is all walks of life. Although these people were born in an ordinary world, but everyone has their own unique skills, often mind-boggling. In this, the most I admire, is a pinch of clay man, the name Zhang Mingshan.

Tianjin's handicraft road, there are a few skills in the sky of the living gods, carving brick Liu, brush Li, kite Wei, machine king and so on. Tianjin people are good at this kind of people's last name, and they are good at the line of work together with the name. Called a long time, the name of the anti-no one knows, only a nickname in the dock resoundingly. And others will call this Zhang Mingshan for mudman Zhang. Mudman Zhang's specialty lies in that he pinches the mudman not on the table pinch, but in the sleeve pinch, invisible. This is what I admire most about him. I like to make clay figures too, but I always put a picture on the table and look at the picture while I make the clay, so that I can make an approximation. And I tried to pinch it where I couldn't see it, but of course, the result was predictable. So I consoled myself with the thought that "Mudman Zhang's" skill was a gift! I can't practice it. However, after reading the book carefully, I realized that there was this sentence in the book: "Brush Li said to Cao Xiaosan, 'Learn your skills well! It seems that "Mudman Zhang's" skill is not a gift, not born, but practiced little by little by his own diligence. However, how many people can persist in practicing the same skill as "Mudman Zhang" if they only rely on practicing? The answer must be: very few. Therefore, if you want to practice your craft, you should not only rely on "diligence" and "hard work", but also have a firm belief that you will succeed! You can't give up halfway, you have to stick with it.

In life, we are the same, not only to be diligent, hard work, but also to believe in themselves, firm belief. This will lead to success.

Part III: Mudman Zhang After Reading Essay

Brush Li and Mudman Zhang in the text is very magical, and that strange trick is amazing!

Literature is the art of language, the rich "Tianjin flavor", read really intoxicated, let a person addicted!

The author can tell a story, good storytelling, on one thing can be born out of a million waves, people admire!

Beauty is dazzling, beauty is three-dimensional. Today we focus on the appreciation of the characters of this article, the plot of the strange, the language of the strange.

Brush Li" of the strange in acting strange, doing strange. His outstanding craftsmanship, skillful, originally in the "odd man" in the ranks, but he set up for his own almost harsh "standard of practice" is even more bizarre. He made himself far beyond his peers with such standards, making himself an idol to be admired. "Brush Lee" is actually a strange way to show their own talent, rendering their own skills. Bold "commitment", full of confidence, bold; and at the same time, as careful as a hair, for the inner activities of the young apprentice to understand.

"Mudman Zhang" of the strange in the craft strange, acting strange. He is skillful, no one can compare, the world alone; he is calm, capable, calm in the face of others humiliated, calculated, after the attack, in a unique way to fight back, a move to defeat the enemy. This is an introverted personality, to cope with the calm strange people, and "brush Li" in sharp contrast.

Writing "Brush Li", the first colorful portrayal of the environment of the Tianjin dock "the best and the worst", for the character to preset a very unusual background, and then write Brush Li's marvelous skills, and write about the high degree of his craftsmanship! --When he brushes the slurry, he always wears all black, and when he finishes his work, there is never a white spot on his body. ...... As long as there is a white spot on his body, he brushes for nothing." -Is this a challenge to himself, or is it a maverick's way of showing that he is exceptional? Then, from the perspective of a small apprentice to confirm the brush Lee's real skills, to the small apprentice's psychological activities, from half-belief to admiration and then to the discouragement and disappointment, and finally or "brush Lee" himself to unveil the mystery: that the white spot was originally a small hole in the black pants burned! The narrative of the three twists and turns, so that the brush Li's "strange" has been rendered again and again to emphasize.

Write "Mudman Zhang", is to open the door, a single knife straight into. After the introduction of the mud man Zhang in a few words, it will cut into the main topic, which is a contest of personality, but also a great competition of intelligence. Facing the provocation of Hai Zhangwu, people are waiting to see how Mudman Zhang "return". Thus, the story is suspenseful. Mudman Zhang's payback was also very strange - he used the mud on his shoes to make the head of Hai Zhangwu with a "furious face", and the first round came to an end. Hai Zhangwu then insults Mudman Zhang's craftsmanship, saying that he wants to make money with this crap craftsmanship, and no one would even want to sell it cheaply! To this, the clay man Zhang actually no reaction, but after the "payback" is even more amazing - the next day, the street stalls set up a hundred or two hundred "Hai Zhangwu" clay statues, and wrote in large letters The next day, the street stalls put out one or two hundred clay statues of "Hai Zhang Wu", and wrote in large letters the words "sell cheap". Mudman Zhang did not say a word and the strange move to control the enemy. The plot is simple but well organized.

Article 4: The Strange Man of the World Mudman Zhang read

Today I read Feng Jicai's "The Strange Man of the World" book, in which the story of "Mudman Zhang" left a deep impression on me.

I feel most y is this story: Zhang Haiwu rely on their own is a relative of the big official, cursing people. Mudman Zhang is not accustomed to bully Zhang Haiwu, so he hid the mud in the cuffs, quickly pinched a portrait, we all gazed at the mud man, actually more and more like the fifth master! A few days later, Mud Man Zhang set up a stall on the busiest . A few days later, the clay figure Zhang set up a stall in the busiest street, selling all kinds of clay figures that looked like Zhang Haiwu. Also hung a flag, wrote five big words: cheap sale Zhang Haiwu. Many people have come to watch, Zhang Haiwu hate to have a crack in the ground, had to buy these clay figures at a high price. The clay figures are gone, but the story of "cheap sale of sea Zhang five" has been passed down to this day.

Mudman Zhang left many heirloom works, there are chivalrous heroes of the Water Margin, there are lifelike beauty of the Red Chamber, as well as the Terracotta Warriors and horses of the First Emperor of Qin Shi Huang, Huo to go to the tomb of the disease ...... Tianjin Mudman Zhang colorful sculpture is a kind of folk art loved by the people, it is a great favorite.

In fact, "Mudman Zhang" stunts are not talent, not born, but rely on their own hard work a little practice. Thinking back to myself, practicing flute is always three days three days fish two days sunshine net, really ashamed. As the saying goes, "The fragrance of plum blossoms comes from bitter cold." In life, we are the same, not only to be diligent, hard study, but also to believe in themselves, firm in their own beliefs, so that will succeed.

Part V: Mudman Zhang after reading

In "the world's strange people", I know a master craftsman named Zhang Mingshan, legend has it that he pinched out of the mudman lifelike, exquisite, although Zhang Mingshan has long since passed away, but he brought the creation of out, and passed on to this day "Mudman Zhang" handicrafts, I have always been a good example of this.

This is the first time I've ever seen the "Mudman Zhang" crafts.

This day, my mom came back from Tianjin, really brought me a "mud man Zhang".

I saw my mom carefully take out a simple and elegant box from the box, which was neatly written with the words "Mudman Zhang", and the lid of the box was fixed with two ivory sticks, which made me feel as if I could appreciate the exquisite workmanship of the crafts inside. When I slowly open the lid, the first thing that comes to my eyes is a "Mudman Zhang" collection certificate, and the back of the certificate even has a literary giant Mr. Guo Moruo "Mudman Zhang" evaluation of the inscription, I can not help but "Mudman Zhang" works added to the "Mudman Zhang".

I carefully held out the box of clay sculpture, according to my mother said that this is a reflection of the production process of the traditional Tianjin snacks, only to see a cook-like people, wearing an apron, clothing folds carved carefully, with a smile in the eyes of the amicable, and even the teeth of the storm is also portrayed so clearly, his left hand holding a bowl of snacks called "tea", his right hand, and his left hand is holding a bowl of "tea", and his left hand is holding a bowl of "tea". "snacks, right hand laboriously tilted up a large copper kettle, is to the left hand of the bowl pouring boiling water, this copper kettle is the most distinctive, the pot mouth is a delicate work of the dragon head, the dragon body connected to the body of the kettle, each piece of the dragon scales are molded clear to see, the body of the kettle is half a man so high, mom said: the name of this kettle is called the "Dragon Mouth The name of the pot is "Dragon Mouth", said mom.

Looking at the clay sculpture in front of me as if alive, as if I was in a market full of yells, a person warmly greeted the guests, while skillfully rinsing out a bowl of delicious tea for the guests, the dragon's mouth spit out a wisp of white heat, the dragon on the head of the two red pom-poms, with each pouring quivering in this smoky scenario, I feel the master of Zhang Mingshan, through the centuries-old tradition of the dragon's mouth, and then the dragon's head. In this smoky atmosphere, I feel the charm of the clay craft that has been passed down for a hundred years since the master Zhang Mingshan began, and I believe that the heirs of "Mudman Zhang" will continue to master and flourish this art, and make it pass on forever.

Part VI: Mudman Zhang read

Crafts on the road, pinching the mudman "Mudman Zhang" ranked first. The first, not the second, the third difference of eighteen thousand miles.

Mudman Zhang's name is Zhang Mingshan. Xianfeng years often go to two places. One is the northeast corner of the theater Da Guan Lou, one is the North Pass restaurant Tianqing Hall. Sitting there, in order to see a variety of roles, go to Tianqing Hall to see a variety of roles in the world. This latter kind of kind of more.

It was raining that day, he sat alone in the Tianqing Hall drinking, while paying attention to the appearance of the customers around. Standing on the table at the door of the "put high" a look, quickly shouted: "Yi Zhaolin Zhang five masters but rare guests, guests, Zhang five masters here total **** three - inside please!

Once heard this shouting, eating people stopped their mouths, and even put down their chopsticks to look at the famous Zhang Fifth Master. He was adopted as the son of General Hai Ren of Shengjing, and was ranked as the fifth son, so he was also called "Hai Zhangwu". But people call him Zhang Fifth Master to his face, behind the back of the sea called him Zhang five. Tianjin Wei is a business world, who has the money who cross, the official is also afraid of three points.

But except for the craftsmen. The first time I saw this was when I was a student at the University of California at Berkeley. The first thing you need to do is to get your hands on a new one, and you'll be able to do that.

But not a moment too soon, I heard the sea Zhangwu side talk about him. There is a thin voice that says: "People are watching the movie while their hands are in their sleeves pinching the clay figures. When he finished kneading and took it out to look at it, what was on the stage was what he had kneaded." Followed by Hai Zhangwu's loud voice: "Where do you do it? In his sleeve? Squeeze it in your pants!" The next thing you know, you're having fun with the clay man.

These words were all heard in the Tianqing Hall. People are waiting to see how to tell the bold mudman Zhang "return" to the sea Zhang five. A mud ball cut through?

Only to see the others mud man Zhang listen to the race did not listen to, left hand reached under the table, the big sole under the pick down a piece of mud. Hai Zhangwu's side was still having fun, and Mudman Zhang's side must have gotten all those words back in his hands. Then the hand stopped, he put the ball to the table "bla" a poke, get up to go to the counter checkout.

The people who ate the meal stretched their necks to see, this clay man really pinch the best! It's like cutting off Hai Zhangwu's head and putting it on the table. The head is like a ladybird, with small bulging eyes and a wild face, more like Hai Zhangwu than Hai Zhangwu. It's just the size of a walnut.

Hai Zhangwu over there, two feet away from the pinch is seen him, he is going out towards the back of the mudman Zhang called: "This broken craft also want to make money, sell cheaply no one wants."

The clay man Zhang did not return, opened the umbrella and left.

This is the first time I've ever seen a movie in the world, and I've never seen one.

The next day, the North Gate outside the valuation of clothing Street, a few small grocery stalls, set out a row of sea Zhang five this clay statue, but also added a body, polished large sample sitting there. And is the flip mold buckle, batch production, there are one or two hundred. Stalls are also attached to a white note, which reads: cheap sale sea Zhang five.

Estimating the number of people coming and going on the street, who see who is happy. The first time I saw this was when I was a student at the University of California, Berkeley, and I was a student at the University of California, Berkeley.

Three days later, Hai Zhangwu sent someone to spend a lot of money to buy all these clay figures, and it is said that they even bought the clay mold.

Ice Xin said: "Reading is good, reading is good, good reading," Sukhomlinsky said: "Will not read, determines the development of a person's intellect. " Books are the eternal spiritual food of mankind, and everyone, ancient and modern, draws nutrition from reading. In reading, not only can you get knowledge, learn to think, and will get the feelings of cultivation and spiritual enjoyment.

In the summer vacation, I read Mr. Feng Jicai's "Strange People of the Common World", which is really interesting. The novel is written in Tianjin Wei there are a number of resounding characters, who are skilled in all walks of life. Mr. Feng Jicai said: "These strange people and wonderful things, unheard of, if the waste, is not a pity? Recently, a thought occurred to me, why don't I write it down for future generations to enjoy and learn about the life of this place in the past? Therefore, with the thought and record, began to write today; each person a, not related, the title of the general name of the "world of strange people" ear." I've just read a few of the articles and I'm mesmerized. Each article is not long, but can write a character so wonderful, so alive.

The Strange Men of the Common World has many characters that I admire: the highly skilled Brush Li; Su Qiqiqun, who "recognizes money but not people"; the resourceful Yang Ba; Hua Dafu, who remembers people by their teeth; the powerful Zhang Dali; and Dahui, who fishes very well, all of them are incredibly admired by people. In the book, there are also a lot of laughable "strange people": obviously a woman, but stay in the back of the head of men only stay in the Yang family Miss; originally proficient in recognizing paintings, but let a person fooled by the blue eyes; because you want to see what will happen when a person is dead, so did not die pretending to be dead Liu Dawuan; there are also let Bugsy say "leakage of speech "and half-dead angry dead bird, etc., let a person take a look at the hilarious. These characters have their own characteristics, after the writer Feng Jicai paintings and rendering of the pen, into a lifelike image, jumped to the paper, so I marveled.

Among them, I admire the most is the "Mudman Zhang", crafts on the road, pinch the mudman "Mudman Zhang" ranked first. Mudman Zhang pinched mud craft is good. One day, Hai Zhangwu insulted Mudman Zhang in Tianqing Hall. Tianjin Wei was a place of business, and the officials were afraid of anyone who had money. But craftsmen were the exception. Craftsmen rely on their hands to make a living. Who are they afraid of? Therefore, the clay man Zhang just drink, eat food, look around, and did not think of Hai Zhangwu as a person. Without saying a word, Mudman Zhang pinched Hai Zhangwu's head with mud, put it on the table, and left without paying any attention to Hai Zhangwu. The next day, several small grocery stalls "sold Hai Zhangwu cheaply". Three days later, Hai Zhangwu sent people to spend a lot of money, only to buy all these mud people, even the mud mold also bought away.

I admire both the craftsmanship of the mudman Zhang, and his personality. This is a battle of personality and a battle of intellect. In the face of Hai Zhang Wu's provocation, people are waiting to see how the mudman Zhang "return". Thus, the story was suspenseful. Mudman Zhang's payback was also very strange - he used the mud on his shoes to make the head of Hai Zhangwu with a "furious face", and the first round came to an end. Hai Zhangwu then insults Mudman Zhang's craftsmanship, saying that he wants to make money with this crap craftsmanship, and no one would even want to sell it cheaply! To this, the clay man Zhang actually no reaction, but after the "payback" is even more amazing - the next day, the market stalls set up a hundred or two hundred "Hai Zhangwu" clay statues, and wrote in large letters The next day, the market stalls put out one or two hundred clay statues of "Hai Zhang Wu" with the words "sell cheap" written on them. Mudman Zhang did not say a word and skillfully winning. The clay man Zhang to his own way to cure his own people, great, hit him by surprise!

After reading this book, I not only like this literary genre, but also like every story in the book, and even more like the meaning of the story inside and some of the reason to do people. In fact, we live in the world, every day will happen a lot of things, will meet a lot of people, as long as we seriously pay attention to the people around us, carefully observe the things around us, with the heart to experience to feel, we will be able to write a good article.

"It's all about hard knocks at the docks. Craftsmen rely on the hand, the hand must have a masterpiece. There is a masterpiece, eat meat, bright, standing in the middle of the street; not capable, vegetarian, wilting, stay by the side." It is authentic to a way of living on the docks. The strange people in "The Strange Men of the Common World" were not proficient in everything, but they lived their lives to the fullest and were respected, as is the case in today's society, where it is impossible for us to be all-rounders, but we must be proficient in one discipline! This also practiced a lot of capable people. We have to rely on that talent if we want to live an ordinary life, not only in that time is this way of living, but also today is indispensable ah!

Part 8: Mudman Zhang read

Life is ordinary, but not ordinary. Ordinary life is also ups and downs, interesting. Mr. Feng Jicai's "the world's strange people" said well, "craftsmen rely on the hand, the hand must have a masterpiece", "all walks of life, all have a few skills Qi Tian living fairy. Carve brick Liu, clay Zhang, kite Wei, machine king, brush Li and so on. Tianjin people are good at this kind of people's last name, and they are good at the line together with the name. Called a long time, the name against no one knows. Only this one nickname, in the dock ringing and when when ringing."

In the ordinary life, these "stunts" strange people, life will be ordinary?

But the crux of the matter is that "craftsmen rely on the hand, the hand must have stunts. There is a masterpiece, eat meat, bright, standing in the middle of the street; not capable, eat vegetarian, wilting, stay by the side. This is not a set of who set, it is a real life on the dock."

You have to have real skills to not be bland!

We have to have a real skill, so that we can not be ordinary, ordinary, but also worse, the life is a mess.

We want to make the ordinary life is not ordinary. We have to rely on that talent, not only in that time this set is a way to live, on today's talent is also indispensable ah.

In this era, talented people are not afraid to meet Bole, only afraid of talent than others. With the progress of society, all things are chosen by God, the strong survive, the weak out, this is not cruel, this is just a fact.

The strange man in the world of the strange man is not all proficient, but they are living a life of flavor, respect, today's society is the same, we can not be all-rounded all-rounders, but there must be a door to be proficient! There are not farmers in the northeast will speak Russian as a translator, laid-off workers have made advanced inventions?

As long as there is a skill, we will be the world's odd man out.

Part IX: Mudman Zhang read

This article is mainly written: the craft of the road, pinch the mudman "mudman Zhang" ranked first. The first, not the second, the third difference of eighteen thousand miles.

Mudman Zhang called Zhang Mingshan. Frequently go to two places. One is the theater Da Guan Lou, one is the restaurant Tianqing Hall. It was raining that day, he was in the Tianqing Hall to keep an eye on the guests look. At this time, three people came in from outside. One of them rushed inside. "The first one is the one that has the most important role to play in the world, and the second one is the one that has the most important role to play in the world, and the third one is the one that has the most important role to play in the world.

Listening to this, all the people who eat look at this Zhang Fifth Master. He was a man who sold his life for Hai Ren, and was accepted by the sea as a son, ranking the oldest five, also known as the "sea Zhang five".

No, I don't know, I heard the sea Zhang five side talk about him. A small voice said: "People are watching the movie while their hands are in their sleeves, pinching the clay figures. After pinching and taking out a look, the stage of the kind, he pinched the kind." Followed by Hai Zhang Wu's thick voice: "Where do you do it? In his sleeve? Squeeze it in the crotch of your pants!" The next step was to make fun of the mudman.

All these words were heard by everyone. People waited to see how the mudman Zhang "pay back" Hai Zhangwu. I saw the left hand of the mudman Zhang reach under the table and pick out a piece of mud from under the sole of his shoe. This left hand fiddled with the mud; a few fingers pinched it quickly, more deftly than the hands of the juggler Liu Baldy. Hai Zhangwu side is still looking for fun, mudman Zhang side must have those words in his hand this ball of clay all back. Then the hand stops, the group "bla" a poke.

This clay man is the sea Zhang Wu's head cut off on the table in general. Ladybird-like head, small bulging eyes, a face of madness, more like Hai Zhangwu than Hai Zhangwu. The only thing is that it is only the size of a walnut. Hai Zhangwu could see that it was him who pinched it, and he screamed at the clay man Zhang: "This crap craft also wants to make money, no one wants it even if it is sold cheaply." The next day, several small grocery stalls set out rows and rows of clay statues of Hai Zhangwu, and added a body. And it was a molded snap, produced in batches. Stalls also have a white paper sticker, written on the top: cheap sale of Hai Zhangwu. People on the street, who see who happy. Three days later, Hai Zhangwu spent a lot of money to buy all these clay figures and clay molds. The clay figures are gone, but the "cheap sale of sea Zhang five" this matter has been rumored for more than a hundred years, until today.

Mudman Zhang's skill and courage; Hai Zhangwu's self-inflicted injury, lifted a stone and smashed his own foot. This article let me know the truth: never underestimate the strength of others, ridicule others, wait until they come to take revenge on you, you will realize how wrong the initial approach is.
