I. Introduction

Yu Pingbo and Zhu Ziqing swam the Qinhuai River together, and each wrote an essay of the same name "Qinhuai River under the Shadow of Paddle Sound and Light", which has different styles and advantages, and has been passed down from generation to generation, becoming a much-told story in the history of modern literature.

Qinhuai River in Nanjing, with its charming scenery, especially contains historical relics of the rise and fall of past dynasties, and has always been a place where many poets and poets sing and mourn. Bo Qinhuai, written by Du Zhu, a famous poet in Tang Dynasty, is one of the most famous works. There is a cloud in the poem: "The smoke cage is full of sand in the cold moon, and Qinhuai night is near the restaurant. Strong women in business do not know how to hate the country, but also sing backyard flowers across the river. " Combine the description of the beautiful scenery of Qinhuai with the deep affection for the current situation. In Qing Dynasty, Confucius wrote the legendary Peach Blossom Fan, especially describing the prosperous weather of Qinhuai River and the tragic scene of national ruin and death. Therefore, people are fascinated by Qinhuai River, as Zhu Ziqing said in his article, not only because of its beautiful scenery of pouring water and painting boats in Ling Bo, but also because of its numerous historical images. (Zhu Wen's second paragraph)

Second, the background of the times.

These two articles were written three or four years after the May 4th Revolution. At that time, with the deepening of the revolution, the United front of the May 4th New Culture Movement was further divided, and "some rose, some retreated and some advanced". Compared with the May 4th Movement, the whole cultural field was relatively neglected. As the new revolutionary climax has not yet arrived, some intellectuals feel promising, as Mao Dun pointed out: "On the eve of May 30th, the air of anguish and hesitation dominated the whole literary world. Although a cold smile and a request for pleasure and anesthesia are different in appearance, they are equally depressed and hesitant in heart. At that time, the literary world at the crossroads only lingered at the crossroads. " (China New Literature Series Novels) These two essays on the same topic should prove this point.

Three. Similarities between * *

It is not difficult to see from the article that both Yu Pingbo and Zhu Ziqing are trapped in the narrow world of intellectuals, and it is impossible to dig out positive thoughts from the history and present situation of Qinhuai River. They also have dissatisfaction and pursuit, but they feel very confused, so there is a sense of disappointment in the article. They don't hide their mental pain. Zhu Ziqing wrote: "This is really because our hearts have been dry for a long time and become fragile; Therefore, once in a while, you will be crazy and unable to be independent. " (Zhu Wen, paragraph 5)

Yu Pingbo wrote: "In fact, I am also immersed in the same hobby." They all have a spiritual desire, and want to moisten the withered soul and comfort the lonely soul with the Qinhuai trip. There was still a little voice of personality liberation during the May 4th Movement, although it was so slight. However, after all, the joy of scenery and music can't relieve their mental boredom, and they can't be as bohemian as some ancient literati. Therefore, on the Qinhuai River, which is brightly lit and full of songs all night, everything is stiff and seems to be out of place with the environment. The result is naturally a whim and disappointment.

Fourth, compare differences.

In roughly the same ideological realm, we can see their differences. In the picturesque scenery, Zhu Ziqing expressed a state of mind that was difficult to digest or endure. He has a keen attachment to pleasant scenery and rough singing, and his feelings are relatively strong. All this is so straightforward and unpretentious, which shows the author's simple and sincere character. Some people say that Zhu Ziqing is "literary as he is", and his "elegance comes from simplicity, humor comes from frankness, and massiness comes from plainness", which is a very pertinent comment. Yu Pingbo's composition, on the other hand, likes to explain the so-called "philosophical thinking of the subject" in lyrical style, and he sells golden holes in Qinhuai River, the so-called "golden powder of the Six Dynasties". Although he was intoxicated with this "elegance of dizzy night", what he felt was "not a joy, not a comfort; I only feel a strange and strange ambiguity. " "We can't make people believe that it exists, and we don't believe that it doesn't exist. Philosophically speaking, it is in or close to what Buddhism calls' emptiness'. " Compared with Zhu Ziqing's ardent attachment, Yu Pingbo is calm and rational. He tried his best to create an ethereal and hazy artistic conception in his article, like a moon in the water and a flower in the mirror, which makes people unpredictable. Therefore, some paragraphs in the article are not only slightly bitter and confused, but also make readers feel a little mysterious.

V. Disposal of Subject Matter

Real life is rich and colorful, so the theme of literary works should be diversified, so as to reflect the real face of life and let literature and art blossom. These are naturally right. However, if we go deeper, we will find that even the same theme, written by talented writers, will have a variety of expressions because of different styles and genres, even different personalities and temperament, so that works with the same theme will present different styles and characteristics. The same lamp, the same moon shadow, the same song, the same boat, but in the works of Zhu Ziqing and Yu Pingbo, they are all brilliant. Yu Pingbo came to Qinhuai River for the first time, and Zhu Ziqing revisited his old haunt. Therefore, at the beginning of the article, it was very different. "We can endure the light and shadow on the Qinhuai River, and we can also endure the midsummer night when the full moon is still bright." These two unexpected words suddenly outlined the new couple's joy and slightly surprised mood. "The Visitor", at the beginning of the article, only uses a relatively straightforward sentence to explain: "1One night in August, 923, Boping and I swam across the Qinhuai River; Ping Bo was the first Pan, and I started again. "Zhu Ziqing is good at expressing his true feelings through simple narration, and his pen is concise, simple and cordial. Yu Pingbo pursues a "unique style" in his prose creation. In terms of diction and sentence-making, he absorbed some advantages of the essays of the Ming Dynasty, which was relatively concise. In the whole pattern, he likes to insert some philosophical analysis into delicate and gentle descriptions, so his prose has the combination of emotion and thinking, heat and cold. Although some places seem complicated, there are humorous and sentimental descriptions, such as "the boat is carrying us, squeezing, next to and rubbing in the cracks of the big ship. It forgets that tonight is also a star lamp on the river." "This kind of" squeezing ","next to "and" rubbing "is very realistic and writes a noisy scene on the Qinhuai River. In particular, "it forgets that it is also a star lamp on the river tonight" is more philosophical. Nothing exists in isolation, and there is a tangible or intangible connection between them. Sitting on the boat watching the scenery, I didn't know that the boat itself was also the scenery on the river. Everyone who enjoys the lights and plays with water has become an integral part of the scenery of Qinhuai River. Here, feelings and thoughts are organically integrated. Zhu Ziqing wrote that the ship left Dazhong Bridge and came to the most prosperous place on Qinhuai River. In Yu Pingbo's works, it was a strange peak: "The boat skillfully passed through three magnificent culverts on a chain, and the splendor of a green summer night suddenly shook off like a huge painting. Oh! Harsh and complicated strings, trembling and astringent sounds, scared laughter, the sound of beating bamboo cards, and even the lanterns on the boat can be drawn, showing bright and warm flames. "The color seems to be stronger, highlighting the surprise and joy of the newcomers.

Six, writing characteristics

1, Yu Pingbo is familiar with classical novels, so in this essay, his skill in this field can be seen everywhere. He combined these literary words together, which did not seem abrupt or messy, but added vitality and style to the article. For example, "Tonight, I chatted silently and relaxed my mood. Let's learn for a while, let's learn from their silly jokes that we usually think are in a drunken dream. " This passage is quite like a sentence pattern of classical lyrics, but it is also natural and interesting to use here.

A small boat is busy paddling in the dense light and shadow from time to time. The calm and lonely oil lamp reflects the long-lost beautiful makeup of the girls at the bow of Qinhuai River. Jasmine fragrance, white orchid fragrance, pink fragrance, gauze fragrance, clothes fragrance ... The microwave overflows with sweet fragrance, swaying with their ships, with our ships, and with all ships, big and small. Some people laughed at each other, some kept silent, and some sang loudly against the Hu Qin. One, three, two, five, six, seven, sitting side by side on both sides of the bow, just added some faint shadows to our hearts-they have gone too far and disappeared from our eyelids. Everyone is so busy paddling, and everyone rushes into the dense flow of light and shadow; What's more, they have been sinking for a long time, and we are used to drifting. At that time, I was drunk, but now I am empty; Honestly, that's all we can think about. Don't tell me and don't even think about it! This is just lightning in a dream, this is just an illusion of ignorance, and this is just a sporadic fire at the root of great desire. We are all dressed up, but we are busy every day, and everyone is busy. Look! Scare! Just after the boat carrying the girl passed, didn't the boat carried by the vendor come again? A small kerosene lamp, a room full of things, he is as busy as a bell in his hand, so he plays. "

This whole passage is not only catchy to read, but also has a poetic beauty. Judging from its sentence pattern and rhythm, this passage is no different from a Sanqu. It can be seen that the author deliberately operates in these places, but it does not make people feel inconsistent. On the contrary, it adds a lot of elegance to the article and a lot of interest to the readers. It should be said that these places are all due to the author's profound classical literature accomplishment.

2. Zhu Ziqing is good at grasping the charm and spirituality of scenery, expressing their inherent vitality, and integrating the shape, sound, color and quality of objects into one, creating a dreamlike artistic conception; The light in the sparse forest and moonlight, the original boat on the open river, the flute rhyme accompanied by the breeze, the faint ripples and the dumb paddle sound. "Who can't be introduced into his dreams?" This is the "emotional charm" of Qinhuai River and the place where the author swims, so this dreamy artistic conception is repeatedly rendered. "Rose" is not only a hazy and charming color, but also an obscure color. It brings endless interest to the wandering of the author, and also brings temptation, trouble and anxiety to the author's mood.

"Deng Hua Shui Ying" and "Ling Bo" are the elegance of Qinhuai River at night, melting the gold dust of the Six Dynasties and the colorful traces of the late Ming Dynasty. Although the ruthless river has made the past prosperous, the rust color of history has not been polished off. The dim light has shrouded the Qinhuai River in a vague fog, and the old lyrics mechanically emitted from the overgrown throat have brought tacky to the Qinhuai River. The author's wandering and mood are intertwined in Qinhuai River, where the history of "rose color" is swaying.
