Xiangxi prose poems

I remember reading Shen Congwen's "Auspicious San Ji" in college, and there was a passage that said:

People often ask us how to write novels. If I really answer, I really want to say, "I wish you had traveled to Xiangxi for a year."

I can't help laughing. According to Shen Lao, I should be born to write novels, because just as I was born at the foot of Xuefeng Mountain and spent my childhood there, I am also a sister of Xiangxi in a broad sense. I think the rivers, mountains and stockades in the book are so familiar that I finished reading them at once. At this moment, a figure appeared in my mind, not Cui Cui of infinite Chun Qing in "Border Town", but the ears in the TV series "Bloody Xiangxi".

? Recently, because of the epidemic, I have been idle at home, and my elders like to watch anti-Japanese dramas. There was no war in Peiping, and even my Natasha's bright sword was turned out to relive it. Perhaps I lamented the development of Mango Taiwan in recent years and thought of this TV series filmed by Mango Taiwan. And I just watched the last episode, and I couldn't calm down for a long time.

? The first half of the play is family hatred, and the second half is national hatred. The first half is affectionate, and the second half is righteous. But somehow, I like the first half, especially the meeting between Sannu and Sui Sui. On the Dragon Boat Festival, in the beautiful town of Qifengqiao, Yao Xuan stood on the dragon boat under the bridge and fell in love with Sui Sui walking on the bridge at first sight. In front of everyone, he sang a folk song with the following lyrics:

Firewood in the mountains does not need a knife.

Rivers don't need scoops to transport water.

Sister Qing doesn't have to talk,

Blink-move your eyebrows

Hey-

Charming, you are fifteen or sixteen this year.

I saw Brother Lang blushing.

Have a heart to cross the river and kiss,

Where is the Qingyan River? It's flooded.

Hey-

Far away, I saw the beauty crossing the Lingkou.

Two tits tilted and shook.

If you want to go down the mountain and touch it,

There's a sinkhole on the ridge-it's in the way!

? This folk song is really provocative. I used to appreciate the image of a scholar who is as gentle as jade, but Shi Sannv, an illiterate woman, sings so many coquettish folk songs, and the content is so explicit and straightforward that people feel excited, let alone an inexperienced Sui. She blushed and laughed. Then pick up a silver lock and let Sui Sui jump into the river. Then there is the classic promise, "I will get that horn knife back and give it to you myself!" " Finally, I won back the horn knife of love and gave it to the woman I like. Of course, I also got the purse sewed by Mizuho. I wonder how there can be such a man in the world, and you are all in my head. He will smile and say "please be a wife ~" and go on a hunger strike just for "I want to see Sui!" Five years later, in the constant twists and turns, Sannu still said to Sui Sui affectionately and stupidly, "I will do whatever you say." Can only say that this love is too pure, so it is precious.

Perhaps it is because the scenery in the play is too beautiful, or the landscape is too spiritual, this play is always poetic. A little wet castle peak plank road, moss covered with dewdrops, milky white Shan Lan, quaint wooden houses, cheerful cries of tits, streams, mountains, and bamboo rafts ... I doubt that the screenwriter and director must be loyal readers of Shen Congwen, otherwise how can they restore Shen Lao's prose poems, as well as this ritual custom, the love between men and women, and even the dialect full of Xiangxi flavor? ) I can't help but want to reread Shen Lao's book.

In the second half of the Anti-Japanese War, especially at the end, there were tears everywhere. Teacher Qu argued with the Japanese colonel about righteousness and finally died by the sword. Grandpa Long taught his great-grandson to say "China people" and then jumped into the sinkhole; There are also villagers who died heroically in polar camps all over the mountains, including those brave children ... and Sui's favorite Ang, carrying her bloody lover, walked step by step, with mountains and green waters in the distance, as if there was nothing left. Embarrassed to say, at the end of The Battle of Changsha, the family was ruined, but at least the protagonist Hu Xiangxiang and his sweetheart had a lifelong relationship, and Sui Sui, who loved her so much before, finally died alone like Cui Cui.

Things are human beings, and people are not. A good anti-Japanese war film is like this, showing you all the beautiful destruction. Tell you how cruel the war is, and peace is hard to come by. Some anti-Japanese dramas really need to reflect on themselves. The sufferings of the Anti-Japanese War in those days have now turned into jokes. I think of those veterans in their seventies and eighties. When they talked about the war, they all shook their heads in tears and said that it was really hard at that time! Then it is shocking to think of the reports about Syria in these years. Just like this drama, the last martyr is the true portrayal of the Anti-Japanese War. Let's not forget that war is a meat grinder.

? Of course, there are also some bad places in the play, such as the depiction of Shi San's anger is too little, and the Hengyang campaign of "six in and six out" is also a brush. However, we can't hide our shortcomings, just like Bai Jing, the protagonist of this play, who died in a disgraceful way in reality, but still can't erase her contribution in this play.

? Yes, thank her for giving me the most beautiful ear, a Xiangxi girl who dares to love and hate, and loves her country and family. Finally, let's say a word from the Travel Notes of Hunan, which countless young artists like! "? I have crossed bridges in many places, seen clouds many times and drunk many kinds of wine, but I only loved one person at the right age. "
