Appreciation of two sentences written by Yu that the scenery is urgent! thank you

Take the first part of Dujiangyan as an example. In this part, the author makes a beautiful comparison between the Great Wall and Dujiangyan. Before the comparison, Yu is unique. He didn't belittle the Great Wall, but held it to the supreme position. "This miserable country has built a Wan Li barrier between barren hills and deserts by manpower." The Great Wall can no longer be defined by geography. It not only belongs to China, but also is a symbol of world civilization. It is said that the Great Wall "left a pride of human willpower for the planet we live in", and the ancient Great Wall is also a witness of history. All the humiliation, suffering, achievements and glory of the Chinese nation are vividly in my mind. Without the Great Wall, where can we find such a fair and upright witness?

It is difficult to praise before comparing, but only in this way can we show the writer's smart talent, unique perception and extraordinary skill. Seeing him unhurriedly give a "but" leads to the following extraordinary contrast.

First of all, compare the time. "A great project had been completed in Sichuan Plain decades before Qin Shihuang ordered the construction of the Great Wall", which echoed the following article "After record checking, the Great Wall is still its successor". It is vividly confirmed that Dujiangyan is in front of the Great Wall. Secondly, from the perspective of scale comparison. "The Great Wall is magnificent", Dujiangyan "benefits the Millennium", "The Great Wall occupies a vast space" and Dujiangyan "occupies a long time". The two are on a par. Third, contrast from the social function. The Great Wall has been abandoned for a long time, and Dujiangyan "is still delivering clean water to countless people", making "Sichuan Plain, which is changeable in drought and flood, a land of abundance." And "calmly" provide shelter and support for our nation that has suffered a major disaster. Only in this way can "Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei be great talents", "Li Bai and Du Fu have a brilliant career in traveling in Sichuan" and "China in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression has a relatively stable rear area". Dujiangyan is actually "permanently irrigating the Chinese nation". Is Dujiangyan, which has made great contributions and is immortal, comparable to the Great Wall? Finally, compare the meaning and value. Dujiangyan is a "fine infiltration and gradual extension" civilization and a "smart life". It is "humble in a corner", "never shows off and asks for nothing in return", and has the mind of a country mother. The Great Wall, which is half showing off and half timid, puts on a "stiff sculpture" waiting for people to repair it. Dujiangyan, a living and flowing spirit that only knows dedication and does not know what to ask for, the Great Wall, can it be compared?

The Great Wall and Dujiangyan are two famous projects in China, which have no popularity and aura. However, the writer's excellent cultural perception and repeated comparisons make Dujiangyan show its ancient and young heroic and romantic nature.

In fact, every exquisite essay in Cultural Journey has such feelings, such as the culture of demoting officials in a corner of Dongting, the sacred and mysterious details in Mogao grottoes, and the fascinating Nuo sacrifices and Nuo operas in Guizhou. Even the common rain at night shows great meaning and infinite charm in the writers' works. (See "Poetic Night Rain on a Cultural Journey")

Secondly, the use of contrast shows the writer's distinct emotional experience.

When reading prose, readers can not only see the writer's cultural feelings, but also see the writer's emotional experience through his works. This contrast is not uncommon in the book. Comparing Fan Qin, a bibliophile, with his nephew Fan Dache and calligrapher Feng Fang in The Storm, we can see that we sincerely admire and marvel at Fan Qin. "Dream of the West Lake" has a beautiful contrast around the theme of life: "Su Dongpo beautified poems and long dikes, Lin Hejing pinned beauty on plum blossoms and white cranes, and Su Xiaoxiao always attached beauty to his own life", and the writer's sincere praise for the three ancients flowed here. In China Complex, the descriptions of the descendants of the Chinese people who can be named and those who can't are full of sincere love and respect from the writer.

Through comparison, Taoist Temple presents readers with more emotional experiences, which should be a sigh for the history of national humiliation and a deep sorrow for the destruction of the splendid culture of the motherland.

Let's look back at the early morning of May 26th, 1900. When Wang, the Taoist priest in charge of the Mogao Grottoes, got up early to clean up the accumulated sand, he suddenly found a hole full of treasures. How did officials in China treat these rare treasures at that time? "Taoist king picked up a few scrolls and gave them to the county magistrate, by the way. This thing is wonderful. The county magistrate weighed it a little. Ye, a scholar of Gansu Xuetai and epigraphy, suggested that Fan Tai transport the cultural relics to the provincial capital for safekeeping, but the freight was not low and the bureaucrats hesitated. "When" tea "was in the living room of China officials," scholars, sinologists, archaeologists and adventurers from Europe and America came to Dunhuang not far from Wan Li and camped out in the wind. They are willing to sell all their property to pay for smuggling one or two cultural relics back. They are willing to endure hardships, are willing to risk being buried in the desert, and even prepare to be beaten and killed, and come to this newly opened cave. "

Smart foreigners are eager to find these precious treasures, but China officials completely ignore them and fail to form a basic protection net. So, "one box, another box. One cart, the other cart, all packed and tied. Hey, a motorcade is leaving. " "... to London, Paris, Petersburg, Tokyo. "What is even more hateful is the damn" Wang Daochang nodded frequently, bowed deeply and sent him a ride. "

Strong contrast has produced a shocking artistic power. Not only readers, but also China people with a little conscience will be angry. Mr. Yu wrote here, of course, with indignation and anger. He was saddened and filled with indignation: "China is a big country, but it can't compare with a few volumes of scriptures." But the fact has happened, and the screenwriter has no choice but to lament: "I hate it." "I hate it", the three words stood alone and penetrated the back of the paper. What do writers hate? I hate Taoist Wang for giving away treasures for a few silver dollars, China officials for their short-sightedness, foreign adventurers for plundering China's treasures cheaply, and they were not born hundreds of years earlier ... Although the content that writers hate is not written directly, readers can see clearly the writer's distinct personal love and hate. This is the effect of contrast art.
