The text of Border Town is really beautiful!

Maybe everyone has been to Hunan, Changsha and Fenghuang ancient city, but the place "Tea Cave" is probably the border town written by Shen Congwen.

If you have seen Border Town, you will love this place.

Even after reading Border Town, some people still want to see the tea cave, the stream, the White Pagoda, the ferry and the place where Cui Cui and his grandfather lived all their lives. ...

You can't see it. This story is made up by Shen Congwen.

Because it is beautifully written and truly written, some people think there is such a thing.

Is there such a Cui Cui?

Yes

She is a woman that Shen Congwen saw in real life and then brewed in his mind.

True or false, true or false, in the creative process, based on reality, but also beyond reality, his genius is that after you read it, I believe this person is really by your side.

Shen Congwen is good at writing about girls in rural areas of China. He used painting instead of writing. How can he draw? If you don't draw shapes, you can draw people's psychological activities. If there is sound and action, the characters will be three-dimensional.

At first glance, you will find that he is also a master of landscape painting. His landscape paintings are colorful, vivid and touching. People live in paintings, and paintings follow people.

After reading this novel, someone asked a question: "How can he write the girl's mind so vividly?" That kind of delicate, unspeakable state of mind, with the "Declaration" that kind of non-verbal brush strokes to convey, this is our girl's mind! But Shen Congwen is a man. "

Cao Xueqin can also answer this question: because of love, he loves his characters.

Similarly, Shen Congwen is full of love for the girls in the painting, and only with love can he feel these beating feelings.

In his view, writing characters should stick to their emotions and emotions, and you can't be detached.

Once you start writing, you should live with this role, think nothing but the role, feel her feelings, bring yourself into her situation and state of mind, and devote yourself wholeheartedly.

So, there was Cui Cui and the border town.

The story of Border Town is beautiful and simple: there is a stream outside Chadianshan Town, and there is an old man working on the ferry by the stream. The old man's daughter had an affair with a soldier and was pregnant.

Later, the soldier committed suicide by taking poison. After giving birth, the woman died with the soldier, leaving a child named Cui Cui. The old boatman lives with his granddaughter.

There is a water manager on the pier of Chadong City. His name is Shunshun, and he is honest and peaceful. He has two sons, Tianbao and Nuosong, who are generous, open-minded and informal. Parents don't like to talk, but they are smart and emotional.

Both brothers fell in love with Cui Cui.

However, Cui Cui likes her parents' gifts, and she doesn't like the protection of big heaven. Disappointed, Da Tianbao went down the river and drowned. Northon got a knot in his heart because of his brother's death and set sail.

One thunderstorm night, the old ferryman died, leaving Cui Cui alone.

Nuosong's feelings for Cui Cui have not changed, but he never came back.

Such a simple story vividly presents these characters, and the scene and characters are integrated. It is no exaggeration to say that it is like a modern long poem.

If you come to the tea cave, you will see:

As long as you pay attention in spring, there will be people where there are peach blossoms, and you can sell wine where there are people.

In summer, the dazzling purple cloth is dried in the sun and can be used as the flag of others.

Autumn and winter have come, and people's houses are all on the cliff, living near the water, and no one feels strange.

The yellow walls and black tiles are so well placed that they are in harmony with the surrounding environment and make people feel very happy.

In this small river, you can curl up in the boat and swim for 30 days without getting bored. It is precisely because miracles can be seen everywhere that the boldness and exquisiteness of nature are fascinating.

His language is simple, with a different kind of affection in simplicity; Smooth, smooth, extremely clear. This simplicity comes from his carving of words; This fluency comes from his careful consideration of details. He pays attention to language, color and the rhythm of sound.

In Shen Congwen's autobiography, he said, "My heart always beats for a fresh sound, a bright color and a bright smell."

Another example is:

When I arrived at the grocery store, there were many fans, buckets of candy, firecrackers and red candles, which left a deep impression on Cui Cui. When I go back to my grandfather, I always talk about these things for a long time.

Vermicelli, sugar, firecrackers and candles are all things in daily life. However, together, it is a contrasting painting. Cui Cui saw this for the first time, and we also copied this picture in words.

It's almost evening, and all the other birds seem to have rested. Only the cuckoo keeps calling. Stones and soil were sunburned all day, and vegetation was sunburned all day. At this time, each emits a kind of heat.

The air smells of earth, plants and beetles. Cui Cui looked at the red clouds in the sky and listened to the noise of businessmen on the ferry. Her heart was a little thin and desolate.

All kinds of smells are mixed together, which makes you unconsciously associate with the fields in summer, as if walking into the fields, with wet grass sweeping your ankles and all kinds of bugs barking freely beside you. ...

Seeing this, do you think Shen Congwen is a pleasant pastoral poet?

He can not only describe natural scenery, but also vividly describe people:

"Cui Cui grew up on a windy day, which made her skin dark and eye-catching, and her eyes were crystal clear, so she naturally grew and educated her.

Innocent and lively, he is like a small animal everywhere. People are so well-behaved, just like mountain yellow deer, they never think about cruelty, never worry, and never get angry.

Usually, when a stranger pays attention to her on the ferry, she will look at the stranger naked and pretend that she can escape into the mountains at any time, but after learning about the indifference of this person, she will finish the task calmly. "

At this time, Cui Cui's image is vividly displayed on the paper. You see the girl who grew up on the boat, her grandfather and their yellow dog. She is very spiritual and a member of this family. She has participated in their whole life and destiny.

On a sunny day, there was no transition. All day, Grandpa and Cui Cui sat on the big stone in front of the door to bask in the sun.

Or throw a piece of wood into the water from a height, let the yellow dog around jump down from the height of the rock and bring back the title of wood;

Or Cui Cui and Huang Gou pricked up their ears in the city to listen to my grandfather talking about war stories many years ago;

Or my grandfather and Cui Cui, each holding a clarinet made of a small bamboo pole, played a song to greet the bride and put the girl to her mouth. When the transition came, the old boatman put down his bamboo tube and got on the boat to cross the river alone. A man on the rock, when he saw the ship moving, screamed:

"Grandpa, grandpa, listen to me, you sing!"

Grandpa walked into the middle of the stream and sang happily. The dumb voice oscillated in the silent air, and the stream seemed to have a little life. In fact, the return of singing makes everything more silent.

Bamboo, scenery and flute are all part of Cui Cui. Together, they create a beautiful impression of this girl in your heart.

The beauty of Cui Cui lies in her personality and her love;

Cui Cui is fifteen years old.

The Dragon Boat Festival is coming again, and there are drums announcing the launch of the dragon boat.

When the drums swept over the mountains and reached Du Fu, the first thing I noticed was the yellow dog. The yellow dog barked and walked around the house in shock; When someone crossed the border, they crossed the east bank of the river with the boat and ran to the mountain to bark at the city.

Cui Cui is sitting on a big stone outside the door, weaving grasshoppers and centipedes with zongzi leaves. When she saw the yellow dog fall asleep in the sun first, she suddenly woke up and ran around like crazy. When she comes back from crossing the river, let him scold her.

"Dog, dog, what are you doing! Don't do this! "

But after a while, the distant sound was discovered by her, so she ran around the house, took the yellow dog across the stream, stood on the mountain and listened for a long time, and let the charming drums take her to a past festival.

A festival two years ago, this festival is unforgettable in memory.

Two years ago, Cui Cui was only thirteen years old.

This year's Dragon Boat Festival, she met Nuoge.

Cui Cui is still not sensible. She and her grandfather went to Chadong City to see the dragon boat. Grandpa left, it was dark, and all the dragon boat watchers went home.

Cui Cui waited for her grandfather alone. When she saw her, she treated her as a child and said a few words to her with great concern. Cui Cui also misunderstood and scolded others: "You are a pervert!"

Later, Nuo sent someone to send her back with a torch. Only then did she know that the man just now was the famous parents who sent her off. "I was surprised and ashamed when I remembered the swearing words before, so I didn't say anything more, so I silently walked away with a torch."

When I got home, "another thing, belonging to my grandfather, kept Cui Cui silent for one night."

Cui Cui spent two Mid-Autumn Festival and two New Years, but it was "not as sweet and beautiful as the Dragon Boat Festival".

Later, Cui Cui's love did not produce beautiful flowers, but left endless hope and concern in this implicit girl's heart.

Let's start with the beginning and end of Border Town.

The beginning and end of many novels are classic, and Shen Congwen's is no exception. Although his early works are a bit rambling and lengthy, most of his later novels are always very structured.

When writing a work, a writer should consider the whole and feel the local harmony. Symmetry between words is very important. Just like a forest, a tree, a meadow, the length here and the short there are all necessary and reasonable.

Ok, let's go back to the border town:

At the beginning, the story-telling method was adopted: from Sichuan to Hunan, there was an official road going east, near the border of Xiangxi. In a small town called "Tea Cave", there is a small stream. There is a small white tower beside the stream, and there are families living under the tower. There is only an old man, a girl and a yellow dog in this family.

This kind of beginning, from far to near, slowly brings the relationship between characters closer to you. Very simple, very approachable, and put forward the pastoral sentiment of the full text at once.

Commenting on Dong Jieyuan's The West Chamber, Tang Xianzu said that there are two kinds of "endings", one is "ending" and the other is "humiliation".

Dewey sings like a painting boat, coming from far away, approaching and going far; Javert, like the reins of a fine horse, suddenly stopped. He speaks very well. The same is true of novels, and there are only two subtle endings.

Cui Cui sat on a big stone outside the door, weaving grasshoppers and centipedes with zongzi leaves. When she saw the yellow dog sleeping in the sun first, she suddenly woke up and ran around like crazy. When she comes back from crossing the river, let him scold her.

"Dog, dog, what are you doing! Don't do this! "

But after a while, the distant sound was discovered by her, so she ran around the house, took the yellow dog across the stream, stood on the mountain and listened for a long time, and let the charming drums take her to a past festival.

This is the "measuring tail".

Spread out like prose, the end of prose is generally long, melancholy and infinitely sentimental, just like ripples on the water, rippling bit by bit.

Javert is another feeling.

Cui Cui feeling, watching, listening, but also thoughtfully:

"Grandpa is seventy years old this year ... the song of three years and six months-who sent the white duck? ..... The mill is lucky, and the person who gets the mill is even luckier ... "When I suddenly stood up, half a dustpan of peas fell into the water. Reaching out and picking up the dustpan from the water, someone called the transition across the stream.

This is the "tail".

It came to an abrupt end, with a strong sense of rhythm, and was directly cut off. The ripples that have been rippling suddenly stopped and became another picture.

Let's take a look at the ending:

In winter, the collapsed white tower was restored. The young man who sang under the moon and made Cui Cui's soul float gently because he sang in his sleep has not returned to the tea cave.

……

This person may never come back, and may come back tomorrow.

-End? -
