1, cultural journey

Cultural Journey is a collection of essays by Yu, a contemporary scholar and writer. First published in 1992, it was written by Yu Xiansheng during his lectures and investigations at home and abroad in the late 1980s and early 1990s. It is his first collection of cultural essays. The book mainly includes four parts, namely, a dream starting point, a trip to China, a trip to the world and a trip to life.

This book seeks the soul of culture and the true meaning of life through landscape, and explores the historical fate of China culture and the personality of China literati. This book has won the second prize of National Golden Key Book, the first prize of Shanghai Excellent Book, the second literary and artistic achievement award of Shanghai and the best reading award of Taiwan Province Province.

2. Notes on Mountain Residence

Notes on Mountain Residence was written in more than two years from 1992 to 1994, with eleven articles in total. During the writing period, the author resigned from the college and stopped working; At the same time, writing and investigation are linked, and many places have gone over and over again.

In the author's master plan, this "Notes on Mountain Residence" is the second stage of his direct visit to Chinese civilization. The first stage of narration is a "cultural journey". In that book, he is burdened with the confusion of life, looking for cultural relics and cultural scenes, and then telling readers his surprise and touch.

However, when I finished writing, I found that there were many overall problems besides the specific sites that needed to be visited. The author summarizes these problems as follows: (1) mutual coveting of political achievements and cultural complex, sharing life and death; Exile, destruction and revival of cultural soul; The narrow road between commercial civilization and China culture met and passed by.

For the achievements left by the Millennium imperial examination to social history and the harm left by the group personality; It is necessary to cut off the rare personality and worship in China culture; The important boundary between a gentleman and a villain is everywhere, and it is difficult to divide it.

3. What is culture

In what is culture, Mr. Wang gave his own answer to the fundamental question of culture for the first time. On the theoretical level, this paper analyzes and discriminates its source, and answers some important questions one by one, such as what culture is, the fundamental goal of culture and the characteristics of China culture.

In the most emotional prose language, I recalled Xie Jin, Huang, Ba Jin, Zhang and many other cultural giants who had unusual contacts with me, as well as Bai Xianyong, who lived in Taiwan, especially the Prime Minister who personally participated in cultural reconstruction forty years ago. Recall the past events of the Cultural Revolution and look for the mystery of culture from these people.

It is worth noting that for the first time in his book, Yu made a comprehensive clarification and refutation of all kinds of doubts and denials from the media and individuals over the years.

In addition, combined with my own investigation of many cultural sites, I extracted cultural self-restraint from the classics and talked about the past and the present. The dual perspectives spanning time, space and region make What is Culture not only have theoretical depth, but also have touching stories and emotional writing. It can be called the most sincere, grand and important cultural thinking work of Mr. Yu for more than 20 years.

4.glaciers

This book is Yu's first novel. This story takes place in the ancient south of China. Meng He, a woman with amazing beauty, won the first place in a "Women's Provincial Examination" and attracted a large number of suitors. However, she secretly disguised herself as a man and took a boat to Beijing to find her biological father.

On the way, the ship suddenly encountered ice and snow, not only frozen in the helpless river before and after, but also encountered a life-and-death test. In desperation, Jin He, a candidate on board, cut ice in the middle of the night to save people, but he couldn't catch up with the exam because of frostbite.

In order to repay her kindness, Meng He pretended to take the exam, but won the first prize, which led to a series of confusing accidents and hardships, and also allowed her to find her own love, leaving an agarwood-like love legend.

5. "Millennium sigh"

Millennium Sigh is a book published by Writers Publishing House in 2002. It is Yu Xiansheng's masterpiece. Different from the past, this is a diary. At the turn of the Millennium in 2000, Yu Xiansheng trudged 40,000 kilometers with the off-road vehicle team of Hong Kong Phoenix Satellite TV's Millennium Journey. This book completely records the experience of 40 thousand kilometers journey.

In the book, the author recorded the decline of Islamic civilization, two rivers civilization, Arab civilization, Indian civilization, ancient Egyptian civilization, Hebrew civilization and other civilizations with sentimental, heavy and plain language, and discussed the root of the decline, and gradually found the reason for the continuation of Chinese civilization through comparison.
