Characteristics of Gui Youguang Prose Creation:
1. There is lightGood at material selection。For example, the article "Hanhua Funeral Chronicles" only used three small things to write about Hanhua: when she first came, she was wearing a green cloth, not letting Gui Youguang eat her water chestnuts, and her eyes were moving when she ate, showing the image of a childish little girl. With a few brushstrokes, the three little things are connected in series, but there is no sense of abruptness, only a fresh and natural feeling, which makes people wonder. However, such a lovely little girl died early, and she was dying for ten years, which made people sigh lightly: Isn't it sad!Life is so fragile, time is so fast, life is so unpredictable!It is precisely the author's clever selection of the inconspicuous little things in life that shortens the distance between the reader and the author, and even closer between the reader and the characters depicted, that makes this small piece of prose so rich in inspiration, and it is really magnanimous.
2. There is lightUnique writing style。When you describe things in the light, they often deviate from the side and do not write directly, which seems to be subtle and subtle, quiet and moving. In "Cold Flower Funeral", in the name of writing about the maidservant Hanhua, in fact, between the lines, all that is revealed is infinite nostalgia for his wife. The author writes that the maid childishly does not let herself eat water chestnuts, his wife laughs, and writes that the eyes of the cold flowers are moving, and the wife points to herself, and laughs at each other, and the warmth of the two people, and the flounder is deeply displayed, which also shows that the author remembers the smile of the deceased wife, and remembers the little things between the two that are worth playing.
3. There is lightThe tone is delicate and simple, fresh and natural。This is also the most praised point of the Guishi throughout the ages. For example, in "The Funeral of Cold Flowers", the author locks the angle, selects the details, paints in depth, and writes a few strokes, writing about the light gait of the immature and lively Hanhua "dragging the dark green cloth", writing about the naughty behavior of the author who cuts water chestnuts but "holding it away, not with" the author, writing about her "instant meal, eyes moving", and then at the end of the text, "when I think about it, it has been ten years since I was dying." Phew, it's sad!It came to an abrupt end, covering the pleasure of life and the ruthlessness of death. The more delicate and small this portrayal of beauty becomes, the more painful and mournful the sorrow of the passage becomes, giving the reader infinite space for inspiration.
Contribution to the light essay:
OneEliminate the drawbacks of the retro theory of the seven sons before and after, which promoted the development of prose in the Ming Dynasty. Gui Youguang wrote a lot of books in his life, involving various parts of the subset of classics and histories, but his main achievements were in prose creation. Qing Dynasty historian Wang Mingsheng evaluated Gui Youguang's contribution from the perspective of prose development in "Manuscripts of the Dull Weng Class": "Ming Ziyong, Xuanxia, Shangtai Pavilion Style;Below the rule of the law, the pseudo-Qin and Han dynasties;There are no true articles in the world, and there are hundreds of people who have written a year. Zhenchuan returned to the clan from our county, with the unpredictable purpose of the wonderful, sent its faint voice, swept the skin of the pavilion, repelled the evil turbidity of the pseudo-body, and in the Tang and Song dynasties and the eastern Taoist body of Zhejiang, and did not follow each other, Gavin's transcendent also. As a representative writer of the prose of the Tang and Song dynasties in the Ming Dynasty, Gui Youguang eliminated the shortcomings of the theory of the seven sons before and after to a certain extent, and promoted the development of prose in the Ming Dynasty.
IIIt inherited and developed the tradition of the Tang and Song Dynasty ancient literary movements. Gui Youguang's prose "Home Longmen and Huchang Li" draws on the strengths of the Tang and Song dynasties, inherits the tradition of the Tang and Song ancient literary movements, and at the same time develops on the basis of the Tang and Song ancient literary movements. He further expanded the subject matter of prose, and introduced the trivial matters of daily life into the serious ancient text of "carrying the Tao", so that it could be more closely related to life.
In this way, it is easy to make the article sincere, approachable, and give people a sense of freshness. In particular, some short essays that describe family trivialities or the life and death of relatives are written in a simple, concise, and touching manner, "making the reader feel sorry for them". These narrative essays of Gui Youguang were like a pool of sweet spring water in the prose garden of blindly copying ancient reliefs at that time, refreshing people's hearts and spleens, giving people the enjoyment of beauty, and opening up a new realm for the development of prose.
