Reflections on the lost horizon

After reading a famous book carefully, everyone must have a new understanding and view of life. At this time, the most important feeling after reading can't be forgotten. Then how to write a good review? The following are my thoughts on the lost horizon (5 articles in general) for your reference only. Let's take a look. Reflections on the Lost Horizon 1

Recently, reading The Lost Horizon was like taking a trip with the author, and we visited a magical country built in the sky. That is the mysterious Shangri-La.

The story mainly tells that four westerners with different identities were hijacked by an oriental and flew to Shangri-La for various reasons. There is a mirror-clear sky, lush forests, white and elegant snow-capped mountains, quiet and deep canyons, and the simple and harmonious folk customs. The four people in the novel are all influenced by this "Peach Blossom Garden" far away from the hubbub. Their tired psychology was baptized by the beautiful scenery, and they didn't even want to leave again. Perhaps, the pure land of the soul is the destination of our hearts.

Today, we live in a reinforced concrete metropolis, and we are used to seeing bustling markets and red lights, wine and green urban neon. The pure and beautiful scenery line has long been forgotten by us. The society is developing rapidly, the economic level is constantly improving, the air is becoming more and more turbid, and we are becoming more and more like living beings independent of nature. We have more material conditions than the ancients, but in this busy life, we will feel so extravagant to dream a quiet dream. In this peaceful society, we are faced with many challenges, fierce competition and pressure of study. I don't know if you feel as scared, disappointed and helpless as I do when you see some bad things happening for the sake of competing for benefits. I'm not afraid of challenges, I just don't want to lose myself in reinforced concrete.

My soul prays every day like a devout pilgrim in Tibet. I don't want Shangri-La to be just a dream, and I don't want that beautiful horizon to disappear. As the author said, we have been pursuing, losing and being sad. University, like Shangri-La, has given us a quiet learning environment. We can concentrate on our studies without being disturbed by the outside world. But when we leave the university and go to the society, can we still be as leisurely as we are now, and can we still keep the pure land in our hearts?

I'm not saying that we're going to escape from the city. After all, it's impossible for modern people to live a life of "picking chrysanthemums under the east fence and enjoying the South Mountain leisurely". Shangri-La described in the author's article may be just his imagination. It is not in Yunnan or Tibet.

It's just a place with picturesque scenery and no distractions. No matter what the reality is, just leave a piece of pure land in your heart, to appreciate life and do what you like. What is missing from such a life?

This novel explains the meaning of life, but there is not an empty truth in the whole text. When I faced the breathtaking beauty, I was only shocked.

did we discover the world, or did the world discover us? Reflections on the Lost Horizon 2

I took this book to many places, but I never finished reading it carefully. I finally read it from beginning to end in these three days. It is not so much a trip to Shangri-La and Blue Moon Valley as a trip of mood.

Tibetan areas in China have always given westerners a special sense of mystery. The four westerners described in this book came to Shangri-La in a "conspiracy". Of course, this story is fictional, but it reflects the author's yearning and longing for the outdoor peach garden that he yearns for in his heart. The four protagonists explain this outdoor peach garden from different angles. When they first came here, they were full of fear and doubt. With the deepening of the story, these mysteries have been uncovered, and each of them has a deeper understanding of this environment. Conway, the protagonist of this book, is high flyers of Oxford University and has a good education. When he came here, he got to know this "Xanadu" from the world of philosophical mind. In his many conversations with the Living Buddha and Zhang, he learned about the philosophy of the mean, which is the "moderate virtue" mentioned in the novel. People's life here is very long, and time is not a problem at all. It is precisely because of this premise that they can fully think about life and talk about the cultivation of life into a perfect quality. In the face of everything, take a kind of spiritual sublimation of peace, enjoyment and keeping a certain distance from beautiful things. From Barnard's eyes, this is a place to escape. Barnard was wanted for fraud. He didn't want to go to Peshawar, because handcuffs and prisons were probably waiting for him there. Finally, he learned a secret of Shangri-La-the gold mine. In the end, he chose to stay here. Maybe he will have a better life here and settle his life. Brinkero finally chose to stay here in order to preach. She is an out-and-out Christian, and she thinks it is God's will to let them come here. Shangri-La is a place where many religions are integrated and develop freely. She hopes to leave the teachings of Christianity here forever, which is what attracts her. And Mallinson is the collision point of this novel, and this young man has his loveliness, because youth can fully demonstrate people's urgency and daring. This is completely contrary to the style of Shangri-La, and it is with this character that tolerance and tolerance of Shangri-La can be shown. In the end, it was Mallinson's recklessness that finally created Luo Zhen's tragedy. From these four pairs of eyes, the author depicts the same Shangri-La from different sides. At the same time, the tragedy of Luo Zhen behind the story also shows that it is precisely because of the imperfection of personality that the tragedy is created.

In Shangri-La in the novel, there is enough time for life. Living Buddha in his 25 s, Zhang in his 1 s and Luo Zhen in his 1 s. There are plenty of books, materials and information here, and you can fully grasp what is happening in the outside world. Here you have enough time to do what you like, appreciate life and do your own business. What we want to explain in the end is that in our limited time, it is precisely because of our imperfect or uncompromising personality that we waste more time. So we have been pursuing, losing and being sad. Just as Conway feels like Oxford here. Maybe the university is the outdoor peach garden in mind! Here you have plenty of time to do what you like. The lamas in Shangri-La even use their existing data to predict the distant future. Hilton, the author of this book, has expounded China's golden mean culture to this extent, which is a good China expert. There are many mysteries in this book, such as Blue Moon Valley, Karakal Mountain, Conway and Living Buddha, which are gripping, and the more readers can be caught at the end of the novel. I think the essence of this novel is not the scenery, but the author's perfect interpretation of the meaning and life.

with time and peace, what is missing in your life?

This is the Lost Horizon, the British version of Xanadu. Reflections on the lost horizon 3

in the English writer James? The word "moderation" in Shangri-la, a "secret land" depicted in Hilton's work "Lost Horizon" published in 1933, was repeatedly mentioned by the elegant, wise, knowledgeable and mysterious Mr. Zhang of the Lama Temple. The so-called moderation, as far as my personal understanding is concerned, may be that everything has a degree or boundary that is the most appropriate for you personally. This "degree" is neither too much nor too little, neither too thick nor too light, too much for one point, but not enough for one point. For example, the preferred food should not be greedy, but moderate; People and things you like should not be overly obsessed, but should be moderate, otherwise it may be "wisdom will hurt, affection will not last long, and strength will humiliate." In fact, such ideas and thinking are not unfamiliar in the cognitive paradigm of China people. From an early age, we were told by our parents that "going too far is not enough", "enough is enough", "extreme joy begets sorrow", "extremes meet" and so on ... It seems that once everything crosses that line and goes to extremes, it will inevitably have unsatisfactory results.

this kind of thought has something to do with the "golden mean" that our sage Confucius valued. The doctrine of the mean is an impartial and eclectic attitude towards life. This attitude is not only reflected in all aspects of daily life, but also in the pursuit of life ideals and the realization of life values as a "superstructure", and only seeks to achieve a state of being broad-minded and doing my best. Coming from the extreme western world, Conway, a young and talented embassy consul, also gave birth to the slogan "Pursuing the limit and never stopping" in Shangri-La, a paradise, which is far from reasonable and even pedantic.

Modern people who live under high pressure have a sense of anxiety everywhere, striving for the first place in performance, income and children's grades, and strive to get ahead in everything. Comparing ancient and modern times, we can't judge which is better or worse. Because, we modern people also have many eloquent refutations on the doctrine of the mean: "A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier", "I'd rather be a phoenix tail/chicken head/phoenix tail", "pursuing Excellence" and "striving for the ultimate" and so on ... Different times will change people's cognitive concepts. If a peaceful, calm and contented ancient man crosses into our present life, he will be laughed at and ridiculed as not making progress and being worthless.

in fact, behind the extreme pursuit and pursuit, it is often driven by the desire to fill the gap, and the source of desire has many reasons. In a society where the overall desire is highly inflated, anxiety, impetuousness and impatience can be found everywhere. Only by moderation, moderation, striving for success, and contentment can a world of great harmony be realized and run normally. The Shangri-La, which is also true and illusory, described in the book, can only exist naturally if it follows such a moderate belief that everything is too beautiful to be true in today's world. Reflections on the Lost Horizon 4

The Lost Horizon is a novel by British writer Hilton in 193s. Conway, the hero, was the British ambassador to India during World War II. When he finished his mission and returned to China by plane, the plane was hijacked. There were two Britons, an American and a Frenchman on the same plane with him. The plane took them to the beautiful scenery, towering mountains and inaccessible Tibetan Plateau. At this time, the plane ran out of oil and suddenly landed, killing the pilot who hijacked the plane. Of the five people, only Conway has the most viability, because he has experienced a cruel war, survived in the war, and he has developed a skill. However, even if you have the ability to survive in the wild, you will be at a loss in this uninhabited land. When five people were worried, they found a group of people wandering on the snowy hills in the distance. At the front, there were four people carrying a small sedan chair. When they came near, an old man with a handsome face came down from the sedan chair. The old man was a Han Chinese and spoke fluent English. The old man took the five people to a Lama Temple. The novel focuses on what five people, especially the protagonist Conway, saw and felt in the Lama Temple.

The novel has beautiful language, mysterious artistic conception, and criticizes the current disadvantages. In particular, the big Lama in the temple's prediction of human beings is even more to the point, which is in line with reality. The Dalai Lama feels that "it seems that all the most lovely and moving things are so fickle, fleeting and very short-lived." War, greed and barbaric atrocities destroyed them all one day. The scenes he witnessed were still fresh in his mind, and many other scenes came to his mind: he saw those countries growing stronger, but not in a wise way, but with vulgar and crazy passion, which would bring destruction, and he saw that the power of machinery was expanding, to the point where one person could compete with the whole army of French king Louis XIV with only one weapon. He also foresaw that when they filled the earth and the sea with the ruins of human civilization, they began to turn to attack the sky and the universe. "

But that's not all. He also predicted that an era will come, in which human beings will be ecstatic about killing technology, and at the same time, it will be wildly rampant all over the world. All precious things will be in danger, all books and art, all harmonious and beautiful things will also affect every rare treasure that has been preserved for 2, years, and these small and exquisite things will be lost like Lang Wei's works without any precautions.

In the mind of the Dalai Lama, books, music, painting and other arts are the panacea for saving the human mind. Only by keeping the pure land of Shangri-La can human beings keep the last root. Isn't that right? When human beings cool down () their own desires-the source of all evils, and concentrate on studying books, music and other art categories, the whole world will be a peaceful and peaceful scene, with spring-like seasons and sunny sunshine everywhere, everyone's mind is so pure, everyone is enlightened, and the world is full of Shangri-La, without poverty or hunger.

however, this is just the author's ideal. The reality is: since the 198s, the development of the whole world has been practicing the prediction of the Great Lama, and the frequency of extreme weather has been increasing. Thousands of years of human civilization and high technology that human beings are proud of are at a loss in this extreme weather.

The Dalai Lama chose Conway as his successor. If you choose to stay in Shangri-La, Conway may practice like those lamas, study an art, and then forget his age and remain young until the day he dies. If Conway becomes a big Lama, how will he govern the Lama Temple? Conway, however, could not help but be persuaded by his friends to escape from Shangri-La. The novel came to an abrupt end here, leaving readers with endless reverie. The lost horizon after reading 5

horizon, which means in the dictionary: looking horizontally, the line where the sky meets the ground. Disappearing means that things gradually decrease to nothing and cease to exist. Does the so-called topic mean the end of the world? A disdainful sneer is outlined in the corners of my mouth. Maybe I haven't really accepted this book from the bottom of my heart, but this kind of idea is slowly ending in my own in-depth study of this book, and another kind of idea is really quietly on my mind.

Ironically, the end of the world was changed to a paradise-"Shangri-La".

The novel depicts a pure land paradise hidden in the southwest of China-a peaceful, quiet, eternal and mysterious place where Tibetans live. In the novel, the author describes a beautiful kingdom. There, three rivers meet, the mountains soar into the sky, the top of the mountain is covered with snow, and the grass is deep under the feet, covering the earth. The author integrates the World War I, the Great Depression of the United States and the global adventure fever into the characters in the book. It reflects that people were trying to pursue Shangri-La in their hearts at that time. This novel is thrilling, exciting, bizarre and full of drama. What's more, reading this novel will be an experience of body, mind and soul. Perhaps, Conway's departure is a pity. If it were me, I'm afraid I would stay forever …
