Reflections on the Reading of White Deer Plain

It is also the pearl of the waterside pavilion, but it is not what it used to be, and the personnel are boundless. It was another wolf that night, but it had already withered and affectionate. It's the flag of that place again, but it's in bud. It's pathetic. Autumn leaves are open and aboveboard, and I quietly crossed your early years. When I entered Bailuyuan, Chen gave me a feeling that I couldn't understand in my time. I like loyalty and gentleness, but there is a feeling of choppy in the text. Sitting under the moon, eating rice and chewing "White Deer Plain" carefully, my fingers are slightly closed, as if I could pick up the whole Republic of China.

In fact, White Deer Plain describes the complicated class relations, class consciousness and class struggle in China society, but it goes beyond the traditional class analysis mode and writes the complexity of life and human nature, which is of epic significance.

The life described in Bailuyuan spans about 50 years from the late Qing Dynasty to the founding of New China. These 50 years are one of the most tortuous years in China's modern history. Great changes have taken place in China society during this period, and the complexity and severity of various social contradictions and struggles are unprecedented. Among these contradictions and struggles, class contradictions and struggles are undoubtedly a very important aspect, but it is commendable that the author does not simplify and absolutize class struggles, but puts class struggles in the historical and cultural background of famous families, reflecting the entanglements of various contradictions and struggles. The struggle is not only around the class camp, but also around the things that can be attributed to human nature, such as survival, power, property, honor, morality and ideals.

The "Secret History of Famous Ethnic Groups" revealed by Bailuyuan is an underwater iceberg of the cultural origin of famous ethnic groups. And "Renyi Bailu Village" has a strong symbolic meaning of "the state of etiquette". For the Bailuyuan family, the family precepts of "benevolence", "cultivation" and "learning to be a man" are not only Bai Jiaxuan's life creed and the foundation of his career, but also the source of vitality for the existence and continuation of his family, and it is also an endless spiritual will of "duty"; Writers also regard it as a concentrated expression of the spiritual characteristics of our national culture and give it positive publicity.

The novel narrates and publicizes the essence of national traditional culture. Mainly by shaping a cultural person. This process of concretization and objectification of cultural personality is the process in which images such as Bai Jiaxuan and Mr. Zhu gradually emerge clearly. It can also be said that the writer's decryption and description of the spiritual world of these artistic objects is full of admiration and yearning for the saint culture and its ideological personality.

Mr. Zhu embodies the essence of traditional culture. He can define his role, take inheriting civilization and saving the country as his own responsibility, and refuse to be an official. Therefore, giving lectures and doing research have become the main theme of his life. Influenced by Confucian culture, Mr. Zhu respected such creeds as "the rich help the world, the poor are immune to it" and "everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world", so he cared about the rise and fall of Bailuyuan's thought and people's lives. As a result, in his life experience, he had such feats as breaking the enemy alone, banning opium cultivation, helping the world and providing disaster relief. His broad-minded mind and heroic spirit of "bearing morality with iron shoulders" are admirable. Man, when he wants to accomplish great things in his heart in order to realize his ideal, will put aside his personal interests and even his life, be selfless, fearless and unstoppable, then succeed, then show his personality strength, and then support a dazzling image. Mr. Zhu's achievements are large and small, which fully embodies his wisdom and openness. If you don't believe in superstition, you can "calculate hexagrams", but behind "calculate hexagrams" is an objective analysis and accurate judgment of specific situations under the overall situation. His appreciation attitude of cutting off his feet rushed out of the shackles of traditional culture, emitting the fragrance of enlightened thinking and innovative thinking, and completely eliminating the stale air. He would rather die in Bailuyuan Academy than wander in officialdom. On the one hand, it embodies his extremely noble character and abandons the secular creed of "being an official by reading" advocated by Confucian culture. On the other hand, it is closely related to modern concepts such as self-selection, self-orientation and self-realization. In the face of the life-and-death struggle between Bai Xiaowen and Lu, and the "throats" between the two parties and their inner party, Mr. Zhu was almost helpless, full of helplessness and sorrow, and deeply felt the meager strength of the scholars. So in his later years, he once said to Heiwa: I don't even study. What books do you read? It's good to put one tenth of what you read into practice. When Mr. Zhu was near the end of his life, he called his wife and mother. This seemingly casual stroke reveals a bone-chilling sadness. The author Chen is also full of intoxication and admiration for Mr. Zhu, so the novel gives a true and concrete description of Mr. Zhu's "death". Obviously, the author regards Mr. Zhu as the embodiment of Bailuyuan.

The perfection of Bai Jiaxuan's personality spirit first benefited from the baptism of the cultural principles of sages. He once did something hard to call benevolence and righteousness (for example, in order to get the coveted Feng Shui cemetery, he asked the deer family to sue for six plots of water), but after the official award of the "Renyi Bailu Village" monument, he was inspired by the sage Zhu, which promoted the perfection of Bai Jiaxuan's personality spirit. He built ancestral temples, schools and carried out extensive education, creating a "friendly, harmonious and joyful atmosphere" in Bailu Village. For the benefit of the villagers, he planned to stick chicken feathers upside down and refused to pay taxes by "making friends"; Punish opium addicts and gamblers and purge clan rules and regulations; I am willing to be a "horse horn" in the drought. It is precisely because Bai Jiaxuan abides by the cultural beliefs of "cultivating and studying" and "learning to be an excellent official" that he can fully demonstrate his self-confidence, self-esteem and pragmatic spirit even in turbulent years. For example, although he was the victim of "wind stirring snow", he never took part in revenge, but pleaded for the members of the peasant association; Especially family conflicts. When the revenge of factions becomes more and more fierce, this cultural personality shows its unique value and glory: it is not tempted by distant official positions, does not yield to the tyranny of power, is not influenced by the gossip of others, and is not influenced by political winds. Bai Jiaxuan's benevolence and righteousness comes from his cultural personality will; The formation of his ideal cultural personality. Deep national traditional culture soil. Through Bai Jiaxuan, the embodiment and model of cultural personality ideal, the work has completed the creative intention of exploring the secret history of the nation and infiltrating the essence of traditional culture.

The shaping of ideal personality by the essence of traditional culture is also reflected behind the family and even the black sheep. A typical example is Heiwa. After he finished his bandit career, he became a devout apprentice to study, "learning to be an excellent official and learning to be a man". So, "Heiwa really began to consciously cultivate herself, almost cruelly abandoned all the original bad habits, and forced herself to accept and develop the qualities that a good person should have. The unforgettable philosophy of the ancient sages of China cultivated this unruly bandit embryo from the outside to the inside. " Here, the novel makes the finishing point with Heiwa's self-cultivation and thoroughly remoulding, and builds a monument for the "myth of sage culture".

This expression was deeply branded with the social and cultural trend of thought at that time, with excessive beautification of medieval traditional culture. However, "White Deer Plain" has indeed made considerable artistic achievements, which to some extent covers up wishful thinking.
