Spring is a masterpiece of Zhu Ziqing's prose, but it was not included in Zhu Ziqing's prose collection before the author died. According to the textual research of comrades, Spring was first published in the first volume of Junior Middle School Chinese Reader edited by Zhu. The book was published by Shanghai Zhonghua Book Company in July, 1933. Chen said: "There is a mark in the upper right corner of the topic. The editor added a note after the text catalogue, where a reporter used this standard to' a specially written work'. It can be seen that the editor of Reader specially invited Mr. Zhu and others to write articles for middle school students at that time. " (About the origin of spring, Journal of Linyi Normal University, No.2, 1983) Spring was not only included in the middle school Chinese textbook before liberation, but also included in the first volume of Chinese compiled by the middle school Chinese editorial office of People's Education Press in 198 1. The latter thought that some words in the original work were "outdated" and some sentences were not "standardized", so they were "processed and polished". In this way, the text is different from the original. In order to respect the original appearance of Zhu Ziqing's works, the research object of this paper is Mr. Zhu's unmodified words.
Spring is a poetic essay. In the style of poetry, it depicts the unique scenery of spring in southern China: green grass, flowers and trees competing for beauty, warm spring breeze, continuous drizzle, showing birth and vitality; People in spring are also energetic, hard-working and full of hope. Spring is a beautiful picture of spring.
Spring is an ode to youth.
The beginning of the work reads: "Looking forward to it, looking forward to it, the east wind is coming, and the footsteps of spring are approaching." The overlapping of the word "expectation" strengthens people's expectation for spring. "The footsteps of spring are near", which is the embodiment of spring. It seems that spring is striding towards us. Look: "Everything looks like I just woke up, and I opened my eyes with joy." The mountains are moist, the water is long, and the sun is blushing. "First of all, the author roughly describes the scenery in spring, and depicts a scene of the revival of everything in Spring Back to the Earth.
Then, the author introduced five close-ups, describing the moving scene of spring in detail.
The first close-up is spring grass: "The grass slipped out of the soil, tender and green." The author not only wrote the green and softness of spring grass, but also photographed its allure to people: people "sit and lie down, roll twice, kick a few balls, run a few laps, and hide and seek a few laps" on the grass. The green here is no longer a simple natural scenery, but a close companion of people's lives-the scenery has become a sentimental thing.
The second close-up is the glory of flowers and trees: "Peach trees, apricot trees and pear trees are all in bloom, so you won't let me or I won't let you." Red is like fire, pink is like chardonnay and white is like snow. "Not only the flowers of fruit trees compete with each other, but also wild flowers are everywhere. Flowers also attract countless bees to buzz and butterflies to dance with their unique colors and smells. These descriptions vividly show the atmosphere of spring. Not satisfied with the reappearance of natural colors, the author wrote on the wings of imagination: The flowers of fruit trees "have a sweet taste. Close your eyes and the trees seem to be covered with peaches, Xinger and pears. "Imagination not only broadens the horizon of description, but also renders the loveliness of spring flowers from the perspective of the future.
The third feature is the spring breeze. Compared with flowers in spring, spring breeze is not easy to describe. Zhu Ziqing's description of the spring breeze mainly captures two points, one is the softness of the spring breeze, and the other is its function of transmitting sound and sending flavor. Firstly, the author describes the warmth and softness of the spring breeze with the poem "Blowing the Face and Chilling the Willow Wind" written by monk Zhinan in the Southern Song Dynasty. He was afraid that readers would not understand it easily, so he immediately came up with a copy that everyone could understand: "Touch you like a mother's hand." The wind brought the smell of new ploughing, mixed with the smell of grass, and the fragrance of various flowers, all brewing in the slightly humid air. The author writes about the spring breeze from the perspective of flavor transmission, which not only strengthens the breath of spring, but also naturally links this paragraph with the description of flowers and plants in the first two paragraphs. The spring breeze also sends the songs of spring birds and the flute of the shepherd boy into people's eardrums. "Harmony with the breeze and running water" The author describes the spring breeze in many ways, which makes this inexpressible thing vivid.
The fourth close-up is spring rain. Zhu Ziqing wrote about the spring rain in the south: "You see, it is like cow hair, like a needle, like a filament, woven densely. There is a thin layer of smoke on the roof. " This kind of rain makes the leaves "bright green and the grass green to stare". Rainy night, a little yellow light, "set off a quiet and peaceful night." During the day, "farmers working in the fields wear hemp fiber and hats"-this is like a picture of spring rain farming.
The fifth feature is people's activities in spring. The first four are dominated by natural scenery, and this one highlights people's actions: "Every household in urban and rural areas, old and young, is also busy." They all came out one by one. Relax, be full of energy and do your own thing. "In spring, flowers bloom in a hurry; In order to welcome the Spring Festival, people left their homes in a hurry. In spring, a hundred flowers compete for each other, to outdo each other; People's "one year's plan lies in spring" is also devoted to their work in the spirit of seizing every minute.
On the basis of looking forward to and depicting spring, the work finally sang a hymn to spring:
Spring is like a newborn doll. It's new from head to toe and still growing.
Spring is like a little girl, dressed up and walking with a smile.
Spring is like a strong young man with iron arms, waist and feet. He led us forward.
Here, the author uses three figurative parallelism sentences to illustrate that spring is fresh, beautiful, cheerful and has strong vitality; Humans should also follow the pace of spring and create a beautiful and happy life.
Spring is an excellent essay describing natural scenery. Compared with previous similar themes, Moonlight on the Lotus Pond and Qinhuai River in the Shadow of Paddle Lights make people feel that it has two outstanding changes: First, its emotional style is different; The second is the change of language style. Reading Moonlight on the Lotus Pond and Qinhuai River in the shadow of the paddle lamp makes people feel the author's faint sadness, while the emotional tone of spring is relaxed and full of vitality. Why is this happening? I guess there are at least two reasons: first, this article is a middle school Chinese textbook written by Zhu Ziqing. Starting from cultivating young people's enterprising spirit, the author adopted a corresponding positive and optimistic emotional tone. The second is the youthful vitality of the work, which reflects the author's state of mind when writing. Spring is probably written in the second half of 1932 or at the beginning of 1933. 1932 In August, Zhu Ziqing married Ms. Chen Zhuyin shortly after returning from roaming in Europe, and in September of the same year, he became the head of the literature department in China, Tsinghua University. In April of' 33, I had another baby. The richness and happiness in Zhu Ziqing's life cannot but have an impact on the lyrical style of Spring. The author's optimistic feelings make the works and scenes integrated, and poetry and painting are combined. From the language point of view, the language of "Playing with Water Lights, Moonlight on the Lotus Pond, Qinhuai River" is beautiful, but it has traces of carving and is not natural enough. The language in spring is simple, vivid and colloquial. Such as writing grass, "in the garden, in the field, you see, a large area is full"; Write flowers, "You won't let me, I won't let you, they are all full of flowers to chase." These languages are extracted from life, lively, short and pithy, and expressive. In order to describe spring better, the author also uses various rhetorical methods such as metaphor and personification to make spring visual and personalized. The last part of the article quoted above is the best example. Zhu Ziqing is really a master of language. He used his own writing style to pull the short spring back from nature to writing, so that it can be seen all year round.
