Description
Introduction · · · · · ·
This is a special collection of essays, carefully selected by his daughter and close friends, and reviewed and illustrated by Jia Pingwa himself.
"Loneliness" or "calmness" are just sparks in Jia Pingwa's life. This anthology focuses on the integration of classical context and modern consciousness that he has always emphasized. It sorts out various aspects such as life, art, and emotions. The purpose is to select a group of truly popular articles, show the overall appearance of his prose creation, highlight his personal characteristics that are different from other writers, and show a comprehensive and real Jia Pingwa. At the same time, it includes many excellent articles selected for primary and secondary school textbooks.
The first unit radiates outward with the writer's life origin as the core.
The second unit is mainly composed of articles he wrote from 1993 to 1994 discussing various aspects of life, in order to present the reality-oriented aspect of his works, which is also an expression of his life status besides the novel writing of that period.
The third unit, starting with "On Crouching Tigers", takes "The Introductory Notes of "Meiwen"" as its banner, and uses the postscripts of four novels in recent years as further practice, to expound his literary concepts.
The fourth unit is about his view on calligraphy and painting and his view on literature. He poured his extra talent into calligraphy and painting, and at the same time, his calligraphy and painting creations in turn influenced his literary creations. This is an important aspect that distinguishes him from most contemporary writers.
The fifth unit talks about characters and also talks about art.
The sixth unit is a bit of a miscellaneous talk, which also confirms his characteristic that "when prose reaches its extreme, the style is often impure and like miscellaneous talks."
In the seventh unit, he looked back at Shangzhou from the perspective of Xi'an, and then observed and understood China from the perspective of Shangzhou. This is the case with all his subsequent novel creations.
The eighth unit includes excellent essays selected from current primary and secondary school textbooks to meet the needs of more readers.
