Reflections after reading "Cultural Journey"

After carefully savoring a famous book, I believe everyone will gain a lot. It is time to write a post-reading review to record it. So how can you write your thoughts after reading to be more contagious? The following are my thoughts after reading "Cultural Journey", I hope it can help everyone. Thoughts after reading "Cultural Journey" 1

As dusk falls, all the noisy things return to calm. In a quiet night, there is nothing better than reading. A solitary lamp, a cup of strong tea, and Yu Qiuyu's collection of travel notes and essays "Cultural Journey" are placed on the table to savor them carefully.

Seeking concentration in silence is the state of reading. The book was opened, and for a moment there was Yu Qiuyu in front of me, who seemed to be drinking tea with me. Gradually, I couldn't help but join the traveling team, and it seemed like there was only one person in the whole trip, and that was me. The sky is vast and everything is so real. Yu Qiuyu is like the shadow of a tour guide, intangible, but everywhere, guiding me, affecting my thoughts, allowing me to truly experience this bitter journey.

I love drinking tea, especially strong tea - the turquoise water exudes a faint fragrance. If you drink it in one gulp, you will definitely complain endlessly. Tea can only be tasted slowly. It may feel bitter when you first enter the mouth, but when you take it in carefully, it feels like a thin stream is flowing through, and a sweet fragrance rises from the belly and goes straight to the forehead. The comfort and comfort can only be experienced by being there. The more you chew, the more flavorful it becomes, and the same goes for reading.

My thoughts seem so pale and feeble here. Like the tide of the Qiantang River, the fine and dense words have a majestic momentum that sweeps everything away. Every jumping character is the most perfect combination, plain and touching.

I walked through Dunhuang and entered the Mogao Grottoes. "When you look at the Mogao Grottoes, you are not looking at a specimen that has been dead for many years, but at a life that has lived for more than a thousand years." Here, I was completely "dissolved by the torrent of history." "There is no repetition here, and true joy never repeats. There is no rigidity here, and rigidity cannot accommodate true humanity. There is nothing here, only human life transpiring." Yes, in the face of this thousand-year accumulation of culture, I am again What? In this holy land where there are many pilgrims, there happens to be a Taoist king. Since then, it has been humiliated, and the Chinese nation has been humiliated, but wasn't it also Wang Taoist priests who made the Mogao Grottoes culture shine? There is so much Chinese culture, but this cultural treasure house has been ignored. How sad!

"History never gives status to vassals." "History never gives mercy to the weak." Shanghainese people have a spirit, and they want to prove that they are strong. "The real strong will always occupy a place. 'Isn't this what the Chinese nation needs?

"Without ruins, there is no yesterday, and without yesterday, there is no today and tomorrow. Ruins are textbooks, allowing us to read geography as history; ruins are a process, and life is about starting from old ruins and heading towards new ruins. Ruins are long chains of evolution. "A grandmother without wrinkles is terrible, and an old man without gray hair is a pity." "In the collision between heart and soul, the call of "returning history to truth and life to process" was issued. After reading "Cultural Journey" 2

A few days ago, I read the works of Mr. Yu Qiuyu "Cultural Journey", some of the words are not very clear, but I feel the huge cultural connotation of China from ancient times to the present.

It talks about the characteristic landscapes and countless landscapes in various parts of China. The literary heritage and personality of Chinese literati, as well as the infinite precious memories of the author's childhood and youth, the author's love for the landscape to express his emotions and perceptions. I also experienced a spiritual journey in Jiangnan, Suzhou, Lanzhou, Yangguan, Shanghai... I appreciated the lingering and lonely night rain, the prosperous wintersweet, and paid tribute to the beautiful calligraphy culture and Chinese culture with the author. I realized the difficulties of collecting books in Tianyige in China from ancient times to the present, but what touched me the most was It’s still the author’s article “Wanmei”

The article “Wanmei” mainly describes that in a hospital full of patients, the patients are always in unstable moods, resulting in excessive speech and anger at the people in the hospital. Doctors and nurses accidentally discovered a branch of wintersweet in the yard, with bright yellow petals and an elegant and clean fragrance. From then on, the patient's fragile mood was changed by this flower. In the wind and snow, the nurses went to visit wintersweet and even prayed for wintersweet. Holding an umbrella, this wintersweet accompanies all the patients until they are discharged from the hospital in winter.

The words that impressed me most in this article are: "The branches only stretch out here in a sad historical shape. It is really hard to imagine that so much fresh life suddenly gushes out from the top of such a branch. "It is this sentence that makes me feel inexplicably moved. History is such a dry and sad branch, no matter how ugly it is, beautiful and fresh flowers that can regulate the emotions of patients will grow on its top. Wintersweet, countless beautiful lives with unique meanings. This wintersweet has made countless patients care about it under the stars and the moon. This wintersweet has made countless patients worry about it at night despite the pain and wind and rain, and regret that it has dropped a few petals. , and have to hold an umbrella for it in the rain. There is always such a small point in everyone's life, but for some people, it is a beautiful sight that even changes their life.

What kind of magic power does a branch of wintersweet have that makes Mr. Yu Qiuyu write an article for him alone? I think the author may have found a peace of mind in this wintersweet while running around day and night. I saw that the patients found spiritual support because of this wintersweet, and thus gained the confidence and courage to move forward.

Spring is here, the wintersweet has withered, and more beautiful and more beautiful flowers will bloom, but the patients will always remember the fresh and beautiful flowers in that snowy winter. Wintersweet once accompanied them and encouraged them to move towards a better tomorrow. Thoughts after reading "Cultural Journey" 3

I have a big study room at home, with hundreds of books in it. When I have nothing to do, I go there to find a few books and read them for hours. Once, I found an old green book - "Cultural Journey" by Yu Qiuyu. When I opened the yellowed first page, I was attracted by the article's description of the sanctity of the Mogao Grottoes and the sorrow and indignation of the Tao Tu Pagoda. I was stunned. The beautiful scenery of Dunhuang deeply attracted me, which made me yearn for the Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang even more.

In my memory, when I read the book, I seemed to be following Yu Qiuyu’s footsteps and imagining the scene of coming to Dunhuang. To this day, whenever I think of Dunhuang, I feel like I am walking in the Mogao Grottoes.

Walking into each cave, looking at the exquisite murals and solemn statues. Although the people and things in the painting have lasted for thousands of years, they still retain their original colors. The Buddha statue in the painting has a leisurely expression and seems to be looking at me with a smile. Although the color is not very clear in some places due to its age, most of the paintings are well preserved. Most of the statues are more than 1,300 years old, but they are all lifelike, calm and fascinating.

However, there are a few murals in which their faces are pale, and some are "full of black and gray". What's more, even the paintings are gone, leaving only empty walls. Although the statues are not easily destroyed, some are still beyond recognition. Who did this? Who promised it?

We then came to a place called the Sutra Cave. Although it was said to be a Sutra Cave, where did the scriptures come from? Looking inside from the door of the Buddhist Scripture Cave, which is less than one square meter in size, there is nothing but darkness, with only a few insignificant "small paper rolls" visible.

In my memory, I was reading a book. I continued to follow Mr. Yu Qiuyu’s footsteps and came to the Taoist Tower.

Where did the countless scriptures go? Like Yu Qiuyu, these questions have followed me for many years. Finally the Taoist Tower appeared. I can’t help but feel a lot of emotions. Yes, standing in front of Wang Daotu’s tomb, one day in 1900, Wang Daotu Wang Yuanlu accidentally discovered the Buddhist Scripture Cave. This was originally a good thing, but since the beginning of the 20th century, foreign People gradually heard about the Scripture Cave. Because China was in chaos at the time and the kings were ignorant, they actually sold these national treasures at low prices. From then on, foreign countries began to destroy the Scripture Cave and the murals, scriptures, sculptures in the caves... …

Those memories of the Taoist Tower in "Cultural Journey" have never faded as time goes by.

From the book "Cultural Journey", I saw not only the beautiful murals and sculptures in the Mogao Grottoes, but also the rise and fall of the nation, the pedantry of the Chinese people, and the invasion of foreigners! In history, Some people say that Wang Daotu is a sinner, but I don't agree. Wang Daotu was just an unfortunate discoverer. The country was in chaos at that time and there was no one to manage it. At best, he is just a well-intentioned but ignorant person, but the real guilty people are the bureaucrats in the late Qing Dynasty. They are the ones who can influence history and the rise and fall of the country! After reading "Cultural Journey" 4

When I was a child I like traveling very much, I like new things outside, and I also like beautiful scenery, but what I like is just these. I get on the bus to sleep, and get off the bus to take pictures. Whether it is a scenic spot or a historical site, I just need to get off the bus to take a look and take a photo by the way. Just like that, I had never thought about the hidden stories behind these scenic spots. Until recently, I accidentally read Mr. Yu Qiuyu's book "Cultural Journey" and marveled at his exploration of the culture and unique feelings behind each journey.

I accidentally found this book on a dusty bookshelf in the dead of night. It was also on such a deserted night that I followed Mr. Yu Qiuyu on his arduous journey throughout China. The first stop was the thawed small village that Mr. Yu Qiuyu walked out of. It was a small village with many archways. There I met Pan Carpenter, a highly respected arch mason. He had built archways for many women who committed suicide, but every time he built archways, The tombs he passed were always empty. Later, many beautiful female teachers suddenly appeared in the nunneries in the countryside, and they taught many female students. "They are like a group of immortals descending to the world, with clouds and fog." Whether the feudal marriage is unbearable to the father, or whether the disappearing girls are those beautiful female teachers, maybe they will be the only ones in the gradually thawing village. of ice.

Walking through the countryside to Dujiangyan, which was built more than 2,000 years ago, an old ancestor did not become a portrait hanging on the wall, nor did he become a history book. Walking through the river and walking to the cliffs of Mingsha Mountain in Dunhuang, you will find caves dug over time. Ancient murals record the development of Buddhism and historical changes, from the original Bodhisattva to the dashing celebrities to the beautiful Feitian. Returning to the plump women of the Tang Dynasty, the blending of different ethnic groups is reflected here.

Looking carefully at the sculptures on the wall in front of the human wall, everything seems to have come alive again in the haze, the walking monks and the painters at work, generation after generation, continue to this day.

Traveling deep into the desert, I encountered a clear spring, a spring that has been flowing for thousands of years, a simple house, and an old nun who has gone through many vicissitudes of life. Far away from the hustle and bustle, in the most peaceful place in the desert, I listened to The wind and sand are howling, drinking from the clear spring, and living without fireworks can still be so charming.

Turn the pages of the book at will, walk at will, and travel through thousands of mountains and rivers without too many embellishments. Yu Qiuyu uses the simplest words to write down every scene in the journey, and uses the wisest heart to discover Every piece of hidden culture. Word by word, step by step, calm down and slowly appreciate the vastness of Chinese culture. On the cultural journey, every land that Yu Qiuyu has traveled has a hidden history. There are tragic stories, unbearable experiences, glory and shame. History cannot be changed. We can only learn lessons and let the hidden history go. The cultural spirit emerges.

The world is so big, I want to see it. Maybe we really should go for a walk in the vast land of China. We are not just satisfied with feasting our eyes, but follow the footprints of history and explore the culture. Find the source of spirituality. The ultimate benchmark of all cultures, the final balance of right and wrong in the world still depends on the mountains, rivers and land. Walk, walk on the land, walk in history, abandon all sorrow and doubt, and keep walking along the road of bitter journey.
