How to evaluate the book Fortress Besieged?

You can give a book "Birthday", which is rare in the history of China literature. To paraphrase Wang Shuo's love, "a slap in the face is still left."

Fortress Besieged is one of them.

This year marks the 60th anniversary of the publication of Fortress Besieged. Confucius said, "Sixty people know the destiny". In fact, the 60-year-old Fortress Besieged has long been doomed: an unrepeatable classic. Although Fortress Besieged is a classic, and it has a history of 60 years, China people know it on a large scale because of the TV series directed by Huang Shuqin. As a person born in the 1970s, few people haven't seen Fortress Besieged. As for today's youth, you can't say for sure.

All three readers were born in the 1970s. When Fortress Besieged swept the country, it was the time when these people were thirsty for knowledge. Now they are back in this book and have a long-lost love.

I hope their words can once again arouse everyone's love for Fortress Besieged. For such a classic, love should be passed down forever like the Olympic flame. (Li Kexin)

What's wrong with more metaphors?

Some people say that smart people are good at metaphors. From this point of view, Fortress Besieged is a clever book, and Qian Zhongshu is an extremely clever person.

After reading Fortress Besieged several times, what impressed me most was the metaphor in the book. Metaphor is to look for similarities between two different things. The bigger the gap between things, the more subtle the metaphor can show. Qian Zhongshu can always find this subtle connection between two seemingly completely different things, which makes you angry and gasp in admiration.

I still remember two metaphors: "Fang Hung-chien is confident that his friendship with her will stop here, just like two parallel straight lines, no matter how close they are to each other or how close they are drawn, they will never get together."

"Disappointment, the lust of being cheated, and the pride of being hurt are all unwilling to lie down, like a tumbler, but they shake badly."

Parallel lines, tumblers, common things in life, Qian Zhongshu can easily describe two emotions. The emotion that can only be understood but not expressed has become something that can be seen and touched in Qian Zhongshu's works.

Qian Zhongshu obviously knows that he is good at metaphor, so he is generous in his novels. Metaphors are everywhere and dazzling, and some people take pains to count them. There are more than 700 novel metaphors in the book alone.

If we must criticize Fortress Besieged, we can only blame these metaphors. It's too subtle, admirable and silly. Faced with such a metaphor, you can't help but begin to doubt your intelligence. "How could he come up with such a sentence!" "Qian Zhongshu's old man just wants to shake off these wonderful sentences happily and casually, but forgets to ponder the reader's psychology. He is as fragile as my readers. In front of these sentences, he becomes more and more "self".

The number of metaphors has been mentioned by many "literary professionals", who think that there seem to be too many metaphors, which are suspected of "showing off skills" and are inconsistent with the novel style. I think this is mostly a stupid impression of stupid people, otherwise, they will try to write a few such metaphors.

Finally, I would like to remind you that metaphor is like a magnifying glass, which makes smart people smarter and clumsy people more clumsy. Therefore, it is best to write fewer metaphors. The more metaphors, the shallower your intelligence. Besides, why should Qian Zhongshu be taken seriously? He is really talented. Why not use more metaphors?

A wonderful novel, river freelancer

No matter what others say about Fortress Besieged, for me, it is a wonderful novel, which makes people read it with relish, and I have the heart to read it again. As a novel, this is the greatest success.

Come to think of it, Fortress Besieged has too many readable elements. Vagrancy, love, marriage, humor and interpersonal disputes ... any one of them can be a wonderful novel, not to mention Fortress Besieged skillfully combines these points.

Of course, the description of love and marriage in the book is wonderful, and the metaphor of marriage has long been well known, but I prefer the "wandering" plot in the book.

In the book, shortly after Fang Hung-chien returned to China, he began a long journey with his rival Zhao. It can be said that this journey is the skeleton of the book, and most of the essence of the book happened on their way to San Lv University, which makes the novel quite a "tramp novel" style. Imagine, if you get rid of this wandering life, the novel will certainly not be so wonderful, for the simple reason that many things, especially unexpected things, often happen on the road, such as love and marriage. The disputes between people are more real than usual in wandering and traveling.

For someone who pays more attention to reading pleasure, I really need a flowing plot development, not to mention so many subtle emotional descriptions and interpersonal disputes. And I believe that for most people, the same is true.

Swallow dates with relish.

I like Besieged City very much. I saw it in middle school, but I swallowed it with relish. Marriage is a besieged city. People outside the city want to go in, and people in the city want to come out. Now that I think about it, there is no better way to describe marriage than this sentence.

I was also deeply impressed by a sentence to the effect that if you want to see if you are suitable for him/her, go on a trip with him/her. This sentence often appears when I travel with strangers and always works in the end.

I have only read this book once, and the characters are a little blurred now. I don't like Fang Hung-chien. I have a strange affection for Zhao. Zhao is an aboveboard person. He feels that he always lives in the sunshine. Fang Hung-chien has been living in darkness. He has such feelings and attitudes towards life.

The impression of several young ladies in the book is even weaker. What impressed me the most was the description of Miss Bao: "Some people call her' Deli Shop' because only Deli Shop will publicly display a lot of warm meat; Others call her' truth' because it is said that' truth' is naked. Bao girl is not naked, so they changed it to' partial truth'. " Now I really think Qian Zhongshu is quite sharp.

But at the same time, Qian Zhongshu's psychological description of characters is also very unique. For example, "At this time, Hung-chien's mental image and the pain in his heart are racing, trying to run faster and not let the pain catch up. He talked nonsense, as if throwing some obstacles could temporarily stop the pain from catching up, so he talked a lot about the situation on foreign ships. "

Qian Zhongshu's familiarity with the relationship between men and women is unparalleled. The envy of Miss Bao, the awe of Sue, the yearning for right, and the tolerance for right ... When dealing with several women, Fang Hong, who was regarded by Zhao as "not annoying but useless", came to the fore.

Qian Zhongshu's cleverness and his seclusion are really two extremes. Such a clever writer just writes a book silently, doesn't show up, doesn't say much, and everything he wants to say is in the book, only for readers to read. It is this constant mystery that makes Qian Zhongshu a brilliant writer in my eyes.
