Liu Xiaoying. Children's literature writer Zhang Lin's "Silk Road Dream Series" series is a series of children's literature works that show the charm and inheritance value of Silk Road culture and art with the Silk Road as the background, relying on the representative historical and cultural elements of the Silk Road, and using the artistic technique of combining fiction and reality.
In the Silk Road Dream series, the author has set up two clues, that is, to explore the meaning, influence and inheritance of Silk Road culture on human life and spirit; With the shadow puppet character of Longdong Huanxian Road Shadow Puppet Boy and the representative image of the nine-colored deer in the Dunhuang murals, he walks along the Silk Road in the modern living environment, goes through ups and downs, finds the soul of self and spirit, and grows into a secondary line.
There is a persimmon tree in the cave is the first volume of it. In this book, the author also sets up two clues: one revolves around Tuomon's shadow puppet play, and the other revolves around the whereabouts of the nine-colored deer. These two clues converge into a line in the cave of the boy Guoye's house in a small village on the Loess Plateau in Longdong, and the characters on the two clues meet all kinds of love along the way, the love between Guoye's father and son, Weiliang's love for Guoye, the love of the nine-colored deer for Guoye, and the love of all the villagers for Guoye, at this moment converges the great love of **, Xiaoguoye then became the focus of the character, and performed a shadow puppet show for Guoye alone in the cave, which became the central event. The storyline of the entire book is brought to a climax here.
As a folk artist, Tuomeng adheres to the spirit of his father's generation, inherits and promotes shadow puppet culture. Over the years, he has worked tirelessly to perform everywhere, while conveying love, he is also constantly capturing and collecting more love stories, and then writing them into scripts and putting them on the screen. Wei Liang is the first shadow puppet he made in order to promote and innovate shadow puppetry, a modern teenager wearing a peaked hat. Different from real life, this paper-thin shadow puppet figure is endowed with thoughts, emotions and soul by the author, and he can not only live like a normal person, but also think independently. He successfully starred as a kind and caring "teenager" in Tuomon's play.
Since playing the role of "teenager", he no longer wants to play other roles, he feels that he is a "teenager", he does not want to be manipulated, he wants to live a unique self. So there is a series of contradictions, entanglements and troubles. As a shadow puppeteer, a shadow puppet who was born to be manipulated in order to rejuvenate, is so stubborn and stubborn, it is a little incomprehensible. However, in the author's pen, this is a character who lives out of humanity and self from shadow puppetry, and he naturally has the right to pursue his own life. "Who am I, I came from **, and I want to go to**? This philosophical proposition that has plagued mankind for thousands of years has also plagued shadow puppet people. When we continue to improve the realm of life and expand the connotation of life, we will find that it is not only human beings who should ask such questions. This is the grand spiritual theme that the author wants to reveal.
This shadow puppeteer, who originally just wanted to live his own life, fell into a tangle of contradictions because of an encounter, and at the same time fell into thinking about "self". What is "self"? Is the "ego" putting one's own wishes and needs above all else? Is the "self" always putting oneself first? The real "self" should be to give full play to one's own value, to help and inspire others and society, and to benefit others and please oneself.
Let's go back and talk about the encounter. He met a cave, a persimmon tree, a boy, a love. This boy named Guono lost his father and is a man with a great story. And Weiliang wants to play Guoye's father under the arrangement of Tuomeng, so as to bring comfort to Guoye's soul. How can he, a little boy wearing a peaked cap, play a father? He rejected, he refused, but in the end he could not resist the arrangement of Tuomon, who gave him life. He played Guoye's father, but he couldn't calm Guoye's heart of missing his father, because, whether it was appearance or spirit, he didn't act like Guono's father.
What kind of person is Guoye's father, how much does he love his son, and why did he die? Do you know that you are a shadow puppet? Got it? He didn't know, and he didn't understand.
Guoye's father planted a persimmon tree in a cave in order to let his son, who was born with a leg disease, reach out and pick persimmons to eat; In order to keep his son hot to eat when the weather is cold, he made all kinds of kitchen utensils from persimmon skins - small pots, plates, bowls, etc.; In order to motivate his son to be ** as soon as possible and let more teenagers exercise happily together, he made a lot of soccer balls out of persimmon skin; In order to illuminate the road and also illuminate the writing, he also made lantern ...... out of persimmon skinBecause these dried persimmon skins are filled with sunlight, which can give people light and heat.
In Guoye's affectionate narration, Weiliang was deeply touched. However, he is the image of a teenager made by Takumon, and he cannot achieve Nakano's desire to see the image of his real father on the shadow screen.
At this moment, the representative image of the nine-colored deer in the Dunhuang murals appeared. Originally, it lived on the banks of the Ganges River in ancient India, where it was a sacred deer that passed through in order to escape from its comfort zone and enrich the meaning of life. It happened to hear the conversation between Guoye and Yuliang, so it was moved by the deep affection between Guono and his son, and wanted to use his divine power to help Weiliang.
At this point, the two threads of the book naturally converge into a river of love. In the cave, under the persimmon tree, beside the fruit field.
The nine-colored deer did not go here in search of love, but when it met the great love of the world, the love hidden in its heart was awakened. As a sacred deer, it is fully capable of making the shadow puppet man Liang transform into the true appearance of Nakano's father. It seems to have been born with a mission to do good and help others, and it has helped many people, but it has also been deeply hurt by treacherous people. Therefore, it has to always maintain a vigilant heart in the complicated world, in different scenes and situations, transformed into the image of a sika deer, and every time he helps others, he does not forget to tell the other party to keep his identity secret. It's just that every time it hesitates, it always loses to the love and kindness engraved in its bones.
This warm, gentle and compassionate deer, in the face of great love in the world, finally said with confidence: "This is me, the most real me, no need to hide, no need to hide." The moonlight is me, the stream is me, the trees are me, the loess plateau is me, the sky is me, and the earth is my ......"It is mysterious and down-to-earth, it travels thousands of miles to temper its will in the red dust, to find a richer meaning of life, and every good deed it does is to interpret the meaning of life. It is the need of art to make illusory things concrete, and to make concrete things illusory, and it is also the mastery of the author. So in this book, we see a nine-colored deer that freely wanders in the realm of virtual and real. This magical nine-colored deer full of a sense of justice highlights the author's personality ideals and spiritual pursuits.
Nine-colored deer, Weiliang and Tuomeng in the search for themselves, looking for a certain inner spirit, with action to show and spread the great love of the world, the process of reading this book, is a warm, sunny, to get the enlightenment and hope of love. Those ups and downs of the story are carried out in a soothing and beautiful artistic conception, which brings us a lot of beauty and touching. I think the work can be written so inspiringly, and I think it is inseparable from the great love and children's perspective of a children's writer. The child's perspective makes it innocent and funny, and the great love makes it warm and touching.
This book is also very successful in the creation of characters. Weiliang's stubbornness and stubbornness, Tuomeng's kindness and open-mindedness, the kindness and compassion of the nine-colored deer, the perseverance and perseverance of the young painters in the Dunhuang Grottoes, and the great love of Guoye's father have all left a deep impression on us. In addition, the regional characteristics with the Loess Plateau and caves as the background, the cultural characteristics of shadow puppetry and Dunhuang murals, and the characteristics of local cuisine such as oatmeal softness and rice flour copper hammer ......These factors constitute a mellow and rich regional atmosphere, which strengthens the aesthetic connotation and value of the work, and makes the whole work present a strong literary character.
As one of the "Silk Road Dream Series", "There is a Persimmon Tree in the Cave" cannot tell all the stories completely, so in this book, the author cleverly buried a lot of foreshadowing, leaving one suspense after another, so that readers are full of new expectations in their imagination and **.
