Wonderful book excerpts
Grave. Inscription.
The reason for making these completely different things into a book is very unpretentious. First of all, I have occasionally seen a few so-called articles made nearly twenty years ago. Is this what I did? I think. Looking at it, it seems that I did it. It was a manuscript sent to "Henan"; Because the editor has a strange temper, the longer the article, the longer the article, the more the manuscript fee. So like "Moro Poetic Theory", it's just a make-up. In the past few years, I probably wouldn't have done that. He also likes to make strange sentences and write ancient characters, which is influenced by the "Minbao" at that time; Now, for the convenience of typographing, he has changed a little, and the rest is left to him. If such a jerky thing is someone else's, I am afraid that I will inevitably persuade him to "cut love", but I always want to keep it, and I do not "know forty-nine years after 50 years", the older you are, the more progressive. The fact that no one mentions the poets mentioned in it is also a small reason why I can't bear to abandon the old manuscripts. How their names had stirred me up, and when they had been finished, I forgot them, and now they appeared before my eyes from time to time.
Secondly, naturally because there are still people to read, but especially because there are people who hate my article. Speaking of disgust to some people is a kind of happiness compared to no movement. There are many uncomfortable people in the world, and some people are dedicated to creating a world that is comfortable for themselves. It can't be so cheap, and it also puts a little hateful thing in front of them, so that he is sometimes uncomfortable, and knows that his own world is not easy to be very happy. The flight of flies does not know that people hate him; I know it, but as long as I can fly, I want to fly. My abomination sometimes felt to myself, that even if I had abstained from alcohol and eaten cod liver oil in the hope of prolonging my life, it was not so much for the sake of my lover, but for the greater part of my enemies, who, to put it mildly, were enemies—to leave more defects in his good world. The gentleman said, "Why don't you scold the warlord who kills people and doesn't blink?" Si is also cowardly! But I don't want to fall for these booby-traps. As the Mupi Daoist said, "I don't feel dead when I cut off my head with a soft knife for a few years", I want to specifically criticize those demons who claim to be "gunless" but are actually holding soft knives. That is, as the gentleman quoted above, that is, a soft knife. If you suffer a pen disaster, do you think he will honor you as a martyr? No, there was something else going on at that time. If you don't believe me, see what they say about the young man who died in the March 18 massacre.
In addition, there is a small meaning in myself, which is that this is a trace of a part of life. Therefore, although I know that the past has passed, and the soul cannot be traced, I can't be so resolute, and I still want to gather up the dross and create a small new grave, which is buried on the one hand, and nostalgia on the other. As for stepping on flat ground not far away, I don't want to take care of it, and I can't take care of it.
I am very grateful to a few of my friends for collecting, copying, and proofprinting for me, and spending a lot of time on my own. My reward can only be hoped that when the book is stamped, it may win a smile from everyone's sincerity. There is nothing else to hope for; At most, I hope that this book can lie in the pile of books on the bookstall for the time being, like the thick earth, so that it will not be overwhelmed with a small clod. Further, it is a little restless, that is, the thinking and taste of the Chinese have not yet been unified by the so-called righteous gentlemen, such as those who love to visit the imperial tomb, and some who like to hang on the barren tomb, no matter what, there are probably always people who do not hesitate to care. As long as this is the case, I am very satisfied; That satisfaction is no less than the golden cloud of getting rich.
Lu Xun was remembered in Xiamen.
A Windy Night on October 30, 1926.
Let's talk about the fall of Leifeng Tower.
From Mr. Chongxuan's correspondence (the February issue of the Beijing Daily Supplement), it is known that he heard a conversation between two passengers on the steamer, saying that the reason why the Leifeng Pagoda in Hangzhou fell down was because the villagers superstitious that the bricks of the tower were placed in their homes, and everything would be safe, wishful, and turn evil into good fortune. So this one was dug and that was dug for a long time, and then it fell. A traveler sighed again and again: Ten views of West Lake are missing!
This news made me a little refreshed, although I knew that I was gloating, not like a gentleman, but I was not a gentleman, and there was no way to decorate.
Many of us in China, I would like to make a special and solemn statement: not all of the 40,000,000 compatriots! - Probably suffering from a kind of "Ten Scene Disease", at least "Eight Scene Disease", which was probably in the Qing Dynasty when it became heavy. If you look at a county chronicle, there are often ten or eight scenes in this county, such as "the bright moon in the distant village", "the clear bell of the Xiao Temple", "the good water of the ancient pond" and so on. Moreover, the germ in the shape of a "ten" seems to have invaded the blood vessels and spread throughout the body, and its power has long been gone"!"The shape is under the germs of the dead country. There are ten kinds of dim sum brocade, there are ten bowls of dishes, ** there are ten halls, there are ten halls of Yama, there are ten perfect supplements for medicine, there are all blessings and blessings for guessing boxing, and even people's bad deeds or crimes are probably ten when announced, as if they always refuse to stop when they commit nine articles. Now the ten views of West Lake are missing! "All countries in the world have nine classics", the nine classics have been established in ancient times, but the nine scenes are quite unfamiliar, so it is a needle for the ten scenes of disease, at least it can make the patient feel a kind of unusual, knowing that his lovely old disease, suddenly ran away one-tenth.
But there is still sorrow in it.
In fact, this kind of inevitable destruction is still in vain, and pleasure is nothing but boring self-deception. The Yaren, the believers, and the traditional people must take painstaking solitude and ingenuity to make up for the ten scenes.
No destruction means no new construction, roughly yes; But destruction does not necessarily mean new construction. Rousseau, Stinal, Nietzsche, Tolstoy, Ibarsen, and others were, in the words of Brandeis, "orbital destroyers." In fact, they are not only destroying, but also sweeping, shouting and marching forward, sweeping away the old track that gets in the way, whether it is whole or fragmented, not trying to dig up a scrap iron brick and take it home to be sold to thrift stores. There are very few such people in China, and if they do, they will be drowned by the spittle of the masses. Mr. Kong Qiu is indeed great, born in an era when the power of witches and ghosts is so strong, and he refuses to talk about ghosts and gods according to the vulgarity; But it's a pity that he is too smart, "sacrifice is like sacrificing to the gods as God is there", and only use the usual means of his "Spring and Autumn" to use the two "such as" words to slightly imply the meaning of "playful and mean", so that people are incomprehensible for a while, and they can't see the opposition in his belly. He is willing to gamble on Zilu, but he refuses to declare war on the ghosts and gods, because once the war is declared, it will not be peaceful, and he is prone to the crime of scolding people, although it is only scolding ghosts. Swearing doesn't get a name. For the sake of profit? Scolding does not make profit. Want to seduce a woman? And you can't print Chiyou's face on the article. Why do you want to do it?
Mr. Kong Qiu is a well-versed old gentleman, in addition to the problem of face printing, there is also a deep heart, and he can't be a blatant saboteur, so he just doesn't talk about it, and never scolds, so he becomes a Chinese sage, the Tao is big, and everything is all-encompassing. Otherwise, the one who is now offered in the temple may not have the surname Kong.
But on the stage, tragedy destroys the valuable things in life for people to see, and comedy tears the worthless things for people to see. Irony is just a stream of comedy. But tragic and funny, they are all enemies of the Ten Scenes, because they are all destructive, although the aspects of destruction are different. If the Ten Scenes Disease still exists in China, not only will there be no madmen like Rousseau, but there will never be a writer of tragedy or comedy or satirical poet. All of them, who are only comic characters or non-comic and non-tragic characters, survive in ten scenes that are modeled into each other, and each side has ten scenes.
However, a life of complete stagnation is a very rare thing in the world, so the destroyer arrives, but it is not the destroyer of his own prescience, but a violent robber, or a foreign barbarian. The Raccoon has been to the Central Plains early, the Wuhu has been here, and Mongolia has also been here; Compatriot Zhang Xianzhong killed people like grass, and the Manchurian soldiers died in the bushes with an arrow. Some people say that if there is no barbaric invasion with fresh blood, I really don't know how corrupt it will be! Of course, this is a very vicious slander, but when we turn the pages of history, I am afraid that there will inevitably be a time when we will sweat. When the waiko came, he was shaken for a while, and finally asked him to be his master, and mended the old rules under his sword and axe; When Neikou came, he was also shaken for a while, and finally asked him to be his master, or not to worship a master, and to mend the old rules in his own rubble. If you look at the county chronicles again, you can see that after each soldier, the names of many martyrs and martyrs are added. Looking at the recent military disasters, I am afraid that I will have to praise the martyrs again. Where did many of the men go?
Any kind of robber-like destruction will only leave a piece of rubble, which has nothing to do with construction.
But when there is peace, when the old rules are being mended, and there are no robbers, that is, there is no destruction in the country for the time being? Otherwise, there is a servile destructive effect at that time, and Changchuan is active.
The excavation of the bricks of the Leifeng Pagoda is just a very recent small example. Most of the stone Buddhas in Longmen are incomplete, and the books and illustrations in the library must be carefully torn off. But the cause of its destruction is not the desire of the destroyer to sweep away, nor the desire of the robber to plunder or mere destruction, but only because of the small self-interest of the present time, and the secret wound of the whole thing. Since there are many people, the trauma is naturally great, but after the defeat, it is difficult to know who is the perpetrator. Just as after the fall of Leifeng Pagoda, we only know that it is due to the superstition of the countrymen. The common tower was lost, but the countrymen gained but a brick. This brick will be hidden by others in the future, and it will eventually be destroyed. If it is in the time of Minkang Wufu, because of the work of the Ten Scenes, the new Leifeng Pagoda will also be rebuilt. But isn't the fate of the future predictable? If the countryman is still like this, the old routine is still like this.
This kind of servile destruction can only leave a piece of rubble, which has nothing to do with construction.
But the countrymen are in Leifeng Pagoda, and the minions who are secretly digging the pillars of China's ** day by day, I don't know how many there are now!
It's not sad enough to be on a rubble field, it's sad to patch up old routines on a rubble field. We want to renovate the destroyer, because he has the ideal light in his heart. We should know the difference between him and the robber minion; You should be careful to fall into the latter two. This distinction is not troublesome, as long as you look at others, self-examination, in all words and actions, in your thoughts, those who contain the omen that they take for themselves are thieves, and those who contain the omen that take advantage of the current small advantage are slaves, no matter how bright and beautiful the flag is in front of them.
