Prose in front

Author: Cao Wenxuan

Where are they going? Home or far away However, whether they go home or travel far, they are all based on the same fact: they are on the road. Returning to China means that they have left home before this. Traveling far is far from home.

People have an irresistible desire to leave home.

Before human beings had the consciousness and form of home, ancestors lived in almost endless migration. Today, we can always see the grand scene of animal migration in American wasteland or African wasteland on TV: they keep running, crossing mountains, crossing the Gobi desert and swimming across rivers, during which they are attacked and chased by wild animals from time to time, or fall off a cliff and drown in rapids. However, no obstacle or hardship can stop this huge and inspiring migration. The front line is calling them, and they have to go forward bravely. In fact, human ancestors also spent a long time in this migration.

Later, mankind had a home. However, the previous habits and desires are still not dead. People have to leave home and even travel far.

There is a vast and boundless world outside. The world is full of hardships and dangers, yet it is colorful and exciting. The outside world can broaden our horizons and expand and develop ourselves. It always lures people out of their homes. People will get the pleasure of life from it, or satisfy their uncontrollable vanity in the world. Therefore, people's hearts are always shouting: go, go!

Running away from home may be out of despair. There is no place for him at home, or there is no place for him at home. His heart or body or his heart and body are oppressed by his family. He must leave and fly away. Therefore, human beings have their own history, leaving countless stories of fleeing their homes, and going on the road together, dusty, tired and haggard all the way.

There is always a front in people's eyes and hearts. The scenery ahead is not clear, hazy as the moon in the fog, flashing like debris in the water. This kind of uncertainty, on the contrary, encourages people's fantasy of the front. The front excites them, makes them act, and puts them in a state of ecstasy. They seem to hear the bells calling them away and the exciting drums coming from the endless front. They walked tirelessly.

Therefore, there is a way in this world. In order to move forward quickly and go further, there is a boat, a carriage and this shabby and shabby car ahead.

This road connects the home with the front. People wandered along the road. Since ancient times, human beings have been fond of wandering. Of course, it can also be said that human beings have to wander. Wandering is not only out of nature, but also out of fate. It is fate that throws people on the road-metaphysically speaking. Because, even though many people have never left their homes, or have never been far away from their homes, deep down, they still feel homeless and they are walking on an endless road. The field is vast and empty, and there is only one way to the front in front of us and in our hearts.

People have long discovered that life is essentially a hard journey. People sitting in this car will start their journey in such a crowded carriage. We can imagine: the car roared and bumped on the bumpy road, shaking a car full of people, making people suffer all the way. The man looked out of the window with his chin in his hand, and his eyes showed all the confusion and loss of a man who was about to start a difficult journey. This kind of crowded car also appeared in Mr. Qian Zhongshu's Fortress Besieged. Mr. Feng Zikai has an essay, which is also devoted to this kind of old-fashioned car. His car broke down on the way, and it will never be repaired. He wrote down in detail the anxiety, helplessness, restlessness and dullness of the journey: it was really a hard journey. Of course, under this day, at the same time, many people may be traveling by luxury yacht, comfortable plane or train. They must be in a better mood than the people sitting in the car like sardines, right? If we abstract this figurative journey into a journey of adult life, we are all ascetics, regardless of each other.

The tragic nature of human beings, [1] is just like that song: the idea of going home has always been in my heart. Many pages of China's ancient poems are devoted to homesickness: "But I look to my hometown, and the twilight is fading? There is a sad mist on the river waves. " (Cui Hao) "Now, when I meet people near my village, I dare not ask a question." (Song Dynasty) "Looking back at my hometown, it's a long way." ("Nineteen Ancient Poems") "When will the family arrive in the dream and how many people will return to the river in spring? (Lu Lun) "I don't know where to play the flute, and I want to recruit people all night." (Li Yi) "You must have been heartbroken before you returned to China." (Wei Zhuang) ... The inevitability of tragedy lies in: people can't go home; What's more, even after returning home, I still feel homeless. Cui Hao could have collected enough money to go home, so there is no need to be so sad. But he deeply knows that the home he misses in his heart is just an abstract feeling bred by the warmth and tranquility of home. The real home that can shelter from the wind and rain can't erase the feeling of homelessness in his heart. He can only look at the smoke on the river and appreciate the desolation in his heart.

Is home or endless wilderness in front of the people sitting in the car? The first part (1 paragraph): Based on the photographic works, guess the purpose of the characters in the picture, and explain that "going home" and "traveling far" are both on the road and related to "leaving home".

The second part (paragraphs 2-8) proves that "people have an irresistible desire to leave home". This part focuses on the "positive", closely follows the theme and focuses on people's mental state.

The third part (paragraph 9- 1 1): Turn to the thinking of "life" and reveal the essence of life.

The fourth part (paragraph 12): guess the fate of the person "in front" of the photographic work again, buckle the writing reason of this article, echo from beginning to end, and have a rigorous structure.

explain

Photographic prose is a new style. As the name implies, it is composed of photography and words. It has the aesthetic characteristics of two means of expression, namely, the visual nature of photography, the ability to realistically reproduce instantaneous pictures and the freedom of expressing objects in prose.

Picture content description

Inspired by paragraph 1 of Lenovo (philosophy of life), "Where are they going?" In the eighth paragraph, "There is a shabby car ahead." Paragraph 10 "People sitting in this car"; "The man looked out of the window with his chin in his hand, and his eyes showed all the confusion and loss of a person who was about to start a difficult journey." 12 paragraph "People sitting in the car". People have an irresistible desire to leave home, and life is essentially a hard journey. The first part (1 paragraph) starts with the photographic works, guesses the purpose of the characters in the picture, and shows that "going home" and "traveling far away" are both on the road and related to "leaving home".

"Taste" begins with two consecutive questions, which not only explains the relationship with "photographic works", but also causes readers to think.

[Experience] Introduction: "Going home" and "going far" are both "on the road" and both are related to "leaving home".

The second part (paragraphs 2-8) proves that "people have an irresistible desire to leave home".

The second paragraph: point out that the text of this article is concise and eye-catching.

[Taste] This sentence is divided into separate paragraphs for emphasis.

[Experience] The article bounces back from the beginning: "People have an irresistible desire to leave home."

The third paragraph: Since human ancestors migrated endlessly before "the consciousness and form of home".

[Taste] The metaphor of the great migration of animals that we saw on TV gives people an intuitive feeling. "The Front is Calling them" is closely related to the topic. "Before human beings had a sense of home and a form of home", "sense of home" refers to the spiritual comfort that human beings should get psychologically, and "form" refers to the place where human beings actually avoid the wind and rain.

[Experience] Writing about the magnificent scene of migration shows people's determination to run away from home.

The fourth paragraph: it is written that the desire of human beings to travel far from home has not died out.

[Taste] The word "habit" shows that people have a tradition of "migrating far away" from a very young age.

[Experience] When you have a home, you have to leave home. "Migration" is a human habit.

The fifth paragraph: explain one of the reasons why human beings travel far from home: the temptation of the outside world.

[Taste] "Shout" echoes "can't hold back", indicating people's desire to "get out of the house".

[Experience] The reason why the outside world tempts people is to "get the pleasure of life or satisfy uncontrollable vanity".

Paragraph 6: Explain the second reason why human beings travel far from home: from helplessness. There are two situations, "home can't accommodate him" or "he can't accommodate home".

[Taste] Use "must" to emphasize the helplessness of leaving home.

[Experience] There are two situations that can explain the helplessness of human beings leaving home.

Paragraph 7: Explain the third reason why human beings travel far from home: the ideal sense of temptation.

[Taste] This paragraph points out the "front". The front here is not a space concept, but an ideal title.

[Experience] This paragraph echoes the fifth paragraph, "People will get the pleasure of life in the world or satisfy their uncontrollable vanity". Then, it points out that the "positive" is attractive because its scene is "uncertain" and "makes them infatuated". Next, imagine people's "infatuation" performance, which is vivid and gives people a specific feeling.

Paragraph 8: Go back to the photography stage and finish the first part. This idea is very clever; From "front" to "road" and then to vehicle "car", thus completing the thinking process from association to photography.

[Taste] "Poor and humble" is the material condition for traveling far, but people still yearn for "the front".

[Experience] This period is a period of transition and care. The structure has obvious effect.

The second part focuses on the "positive", closely follows the theme and focuses on people's mental state.

The third part (paragraph 9- 1 1) turns to thinking about "life" and reveals the essence of life.

Paragraph 9: Continuing the eighth paragraph, starting from the "road", focusing on the relationship between "road" and "home" and "ahead", and turning from the scene of daily life to thinking about life (fate and inner world).

[Taste] "Home" refers to the actual situation, "Tao" refers to people's persistent pursuit, "eyes and heart" refers to people's consciousness, and "front" refers to people's infinite pursuit.

Experience: The meanings of "home", "road", "eyes and heart" and "front" here have more connotations.

Paragraph 10: Discuss that life is a hard journey in essence.

[Taste] Use similar scenes in Qian Zhongshu's and Feng Zikai's works to prove the universal significance of the author's point of view. However, people in a comfortable environment are not necessarily in a better mood than those in the above-mentioned "difficult journey", which proves the universal significance of the spiritual "difficult journey". The rhetorical question emphasizes the tone. The ending sentence rises from concrete experience to life course, further pointing out the universal significance of "hard course", echoing the opening sentence of this paragraph and demonstrating rigorously. The "journey" in this paragraph has different meanings. The key word to understand its meaning is "life", and any related "journey" refers to the course of life. "People sitting in this car, they will start their journey in such a crowded car", "this car" refers to the crowded living space.

[Experience] This paragraph begins with the philosophical view that "life is essentially a hard journey", and then proves it with the scene in front of the photographic work; The "crowded" car, the "bumpy" road, the people on the car "stagger" and "flesh and blood" fully prove that "the journey is hard" from human feelings. Then focus on the man in the photo. His action of "holding his chin in his hand and looking out of the window" and his eyes "showing all the confusion and loss of a person who is about to start a difficult journey" have made a profound interpretation of the "hard journey" from the human spirit. Cars all have the same characteristics: old, crowded and often break down. The author wrote these cars to illustrate the truth that "life is essentially a hard journey".

Paragraph 1 1: The discussant is in the contradiction between advancing and missing his hometown. On the other hand, nowhere to find spiritual home is the inevitable cause of life tragedy.

[Taste] Spiritual home refers to "the home he (Cui Hao) misses in his heart", which is an abstract feeling bred by the warmth and tranquility of home, rather than "a real home that can shelter from the wind and rain".

"The tragic essence of human beings is not that they always want to reach their destination but can never reach it, but that when they go forward bravely and wander around, they will always miss their long-lost homes, hometowns and hometowns." "Ahead" is the endless destination that people pursue, and the journey of life is a hard journey. One is that one's ideal is always difficult to realize, and the other is that he is bound by his family and becomes a fetter and constraint.

"Tragedy is inevitable: people can't go home; What's more, even when I return to my hometown, I still feel homeless. " "People can't go home" is restricted by objective conditions. "Even if they go home, they still feel homeless" is a subjective feeling of people. There should be warmth and peace at home. Without these, even if I go home, I won't feel at home. The author emphasizes the destination of people's "spiritual home".

Finally, he wrote, "He (Cui Hao) can only look at the smoke on the river and feel the desolation in his heart", vividly writing the sadness that Cui Hao can't find a spiritual home, which is also the common feeling of people who are constantly wandering outside.

[Experience] By analyzing the inner feelings contained in Cui Hao's poems, the author proves that the spiritual home is nowhere to be found. Quoting ancient poems about hometown proves that people are in the contradiction between moving forward and missing their hometown. In this paragraph, "home" also has different meanings. What is related to "heart" is the spiritual home in the abstract sense.

[Taste] At first, guessing whether they are "going home or going away" is a shallow entry from the experience of life. At the end, I asked the people in the car "Is home or endless wilderness ahead", which is a question from a deep philosophy of life and can be understood as the actual "home" and "wilderness". The deep-seated "home" refers to the spiritual home, which may not be consistent with the actual home, but may also be found in front of a long trip. On the contrary, returning to the actual home may also be in the "wilderness". This ending has profound implications and appeals to both refined and popular tastes.

[Experience] The first section starts with the photographic works, guesses the purpose of the characters in the picture, and shows that "going home" and "traveling far away" are both "on the road" and are related to leaving home. At the end, I guess the fate of the person "in front" of the photographic work again, and deduct the writing reason of the article. The echo from beginning to end, from shallow life experience, rose to deep-seated philosophy of life. (1) structural integrity

Starting with the photographic works, the author analyzes the trend of the characters in the works and draws the view that "you must leave home if you travel far away". Then explain your unique understanding of "travel far" and "ahead"; Finally, I went back to my photography and said, "Is this the people in the car going home or the endless wilderness ahead?" The question is thought-provoking. The structure is complete and integrated.

(2) Quote poems to enhance the expressive force of the article.

In order to prove the viewpoint that "people always feel homesick when wandering outside", the author lists a large number of poems, such as, Song, Lu Lun, Li Yi and Wei Zhuang. Cui Hao, one of the authors, extended it to prove that "even if you go home, you are homeless" and enhance the expressive force of the article.

Triple tragedy

Wandering around, missing my hometown, unable to go home, homeless, why do you say "even when I get home, I still feel homeless"? The "home" mentioned here is no longer a "real shelter from the wind and rain" in the material sense, but a spiritual sustenance and comfort, and a habitat for human spirit.

The last article emphasizes that "people have an irresistible desire to leave home", while the next article expounds the triple tragedy of people: wandering around and missing their hometown; Unable to go home; Homeless; Here we are talking about going home again, so what is the relationship between "leaving home" and "going home"?

Home is the starting point of each of us, and the front is always calling us. We are always in and out of the house. In pursuit of our ideals, we left home; In order to find a spiritual home, we went home again. The desire to wander and the idea of returning home are like a pair of twin sisters, which makes people wander on the road all the time. In the process of "leaving home" and "returning home", we have a spiritual pursuit and a search for spiritual home. Therefore, although "Front" seems to be written about leaving home, in fact, the focus is on returning home. I don't think about whether I can succeed or not. Since I have chosen a distant place, I only care about bitterness and difficulty.

Tips: Focus on the content of photos, and pay attention to the language tips and detailed descriptions in the text. The picture describes why people have a "desire to leave home". Find the reason from paragraphs 3-7. Is the front here still a simple concept of space?

I miss my hometown more and more and respect my hometown more and more, but I don't want to go back. It is impossible to live in one's hometown. First, there are no relatives at home. Second, there are fewer and fewer old people in the village who know themselves. They don't know anyone under middle age. Meeting can only be a few greetings, which means nothing. -Sun Li's Hometown In the author's eyes, life is a journey to find a spiritual home, but reaching it is an unreachable tragedy. So, does the author want us to regard life as a dangerous road and give up the pursuit of the spiritual world?
