Mondo Culture Updated on 2024-01-31

Hello everyone, I'm Tilt. Best wishes in advanceHappy New Year's Day!Happy New Year!These days off, I would like to recommend a few prose books that I like more. It just so happens that I've been rereading it recently. Why do you read prose in winter?

Because prose is usually short, it's okay to fall asleep while reading. It's not like **, I'm always hooked to read all the time, so I stay up all night and get out of the panda eyes. Hahaha, just kidding.

1, Wang Zengqi "Grass and Trees in the World".

This is a tasteful life essay, a love letter to life.

It's not a gluttonous meal, it's a side dish that looks ordinary but is ingenious, sweet and delicious.

Wang Lao is a person who loves life, and his life is vivid and interesting.

He proves to us that life itself is worth living.

Only happy people can find that every plant and tree is fun.

In his writing, you can trace the sound of summer, because the grasshoppers, cicadas, dragonflies, and knife mantis all chirp in the text.

You can learn about all kinds of plants, trees, insects, fish, birds and beasts, as if you have opened an encyclopedia, but the descriptions are more delicate, vivid and interesting.

You can see how people spent the winter in the era when there was no heating and air conditioning, how they warmed their homes, what dishes they ate, and what games they played.

You can also follow in his footsteps, stop and go, drench in the "rain of Kunming", touch the rocks of Mount Tai, and listen to the cooing of turtledoves in Yili.

In the winter, I hid in the sofa, hugged the blanket, read the book, and even the boiled water I drank seemed to be sweetened.

This book reminds us,

Live in the moment, pay attention to life, and love life. Try to make life as interesting and enriching as possible.

2, Li Juan's "Altay's Corner".

I was moved when I watched the first story.

An ordinary herdsman, when he learns that he forgot to pay back the money, and can't remember what he bought in the first place, and spent the money.

He could have paid his debts, because years had passed and the author did not recognize his name in Arabic letters or whether it was his handwriting.

But he didn't, even though he was poor, and it took him eight months to pay off the 80 yuan.

Li Juan's family has been living in the pastoral areas of the Altai mountains for many yearsA semi-mobile grocery store and tailor shop were opened, and the sheep were followed south and north.

A Sichuan family in Xinjiang has produced many interesting stories because of language barriers and poor communication.

After spending ten yuan, I happily thought that I was buying a yellow sheep and took a great advantage, but it turned out that ten yuan could buy three hares.

Speaking of Chinese, the pause between sentences can be separated by three commas.

When he said, "I'm ,,, this year,,, it's the second time I've gone up the mountain,,, it's ,,, good ......."

It's too graphic.

When the inquisitive villagers saw the newly opened tailor shop, they "lined up and walked around to inspect it, pushing open every door to take a look."

Even "the pot has to be lifted to take a look", it's so cute.

Rural life in these remote areas is so unchanging, so remote and quiet, that the villagers have a strong curiosity about new things.

In the vast but barren and desolate frontier areas, life is mostly gray and heavy.

But in Li Juan's pen, it is interesting, warm, and exudes simplicity, abundance and joy.

3, Chi Zijian's "It's also Winter and Spring".

If you can't go to Harbin, study Chi Zijian.

In an imaginary world, she and Chi Zijian smoked spinning tops, fished, and climbed plows on the thick ice of Heilongjiang, wandered aimlessly in the ice lantern garden party in Harbin, and walked in the woods of her hometown Arctic Village.

In Chi Zijian's pen, you can fully feel the unique winter beauty and special customs of the northern country.

Reading Chi Zijian's writings, the biggest feeling is warmth and delicacy.

She writes about her childhood memories, reminiscing about the people and events in those memories, and has great affection for them.

These essays were written from 1992 to 2021, including Chi Zijian's classic essays "Salt in the North", "The Past in the Mosquito Smoke", "My World Has Snowed", etc., as well as new works in recent years, such as "How Long is the Road from Fairy Tale to Myth", "The Plastic Runway of Our Times", "The Fireworks of a City", ......

Whether it is reminiscing about the past, lamenting life, or literary rambling or artistic contemplation, the desolation and warmth revealed between the lines of the book are like a sunset in the snowy fields of the north, which is true and beautiful.

4, Feng Zikai "Life is Simple".

When it comes to Feng Zikai, everyone may think of his unique comic style, but they may never have read the articles he wrote.

This includes 55 of his classic works such as "Gradually", "Big Account Book", "Dream Marks", and "For Children", and the comics that accompany it are also vivid and cute, humorous and funny, which makes people smile after reading it.

I bought this book when I was in college and haven't read it in years. Recently, I took it to reread it, and I will write down my feelings in detail when I finish reading.

Although I've only read a few articles, the comics in it have already been read by me hahaha, it's really interesting, simple but expressive!Autumn and Winter Check-in Challenge Reading - Reading|Think|Writing.

Don't catch any waves.

Nor do I take any sea.

I myself have the sea.
