Good books are hard to find, and good books you like are even harder.
. Because there are many recognized good books in the world, but when I read them, I found that some good books are obscure, some good books are boring, and many times I can't read them even if I bite my teeth. Six Chapters of a Floating Life is another good book discovered in the past six months. I read it all at once.
In the hot summer, the author's gentle and delicate, quiet and indifferent writing style, as well as the true feelings between the lines, such as the mountain spring slowly flowing through my heart, makes people fondle it. As the name implies, Six Chapters is divided into six chapters. The author writes about life's ups and downs, health care and enlightenment, and travels around the world from the family life of husband and wife, daily leisure and elegance. The most touching thing in the book is the first chapter "Joy in the Boudoir", in which the author records in detail the true feelings of himself and his wife Chen Yun from childhood to wedding and then to married life. After reading one article after another, people feel gentle and quiet after countless years of precipitation, and think of all the good things they once had, and they can't help asking themselves. We've all had these wonderful things. Why do we hate more than love every day?
Author Shen Fu was born in Qianlong period of Qing Dynasty. He was a disgraced official all his life, but due to family changes, he became poor. The book he left behind became a valuable spiritual wealth for later generations, but he was not very important in the society at that time. In those days, who would care about the inner world of an ordinary person? Even if it is so delicate, rich, beautiful and pure. The same is true in today's society. Who cares about the spiritual world of an ordinary person, especially the poor? As Mr. Lu Yao said, "People would rather care about a poor movie actor's eating and drinking, than a rough inner world of ordinary people ..."
The author Shen Fu's wife, Yun Niang, is gentle, gentle and sensible. She not only quoted the case of the author Qi Mei, but also was her confidante. They recited poems, pruned magnolia and bamboo, traveled in the scenery together, and made sincere promises to the moon. I hope you will be a man and I will be a woman in the next life ... The tenderness of "holding your hand and growing old with your son" is so real and touching to them, and I'm afraid everyone will yearn for such feelings.
It's a pity that good feelings always go through too many ups and downs. Such a beautiful bride was disdained by her in-laws, and the couple were forced to leave home. Shen Fu's income as an aide is meager, and his wife's health is getting worse. In the end, her 14-year-old daughter was accepted as a child bride early, and her 12-year-old son was sent out as an apprentice. Her mother died of a serious illness in the drift from place to place, leaving only the word "afterlife" in her eyes ... When I read this, I was in tears, and the world was difficult. I could not rely solely on kindness and a good life. When people are alive, survival is always the first. To realize the ideal, we must first have the guarantee of survival, otherwise Ren Ercai is too poor to take care of his wife and children and has no mood to pick chrysanthemums.
Some people say that the last two chapters in the book are not the author's original works, but I can't see the difference, and I think the last chapter has great merit. For example, there is such a suggestion about health preservation: "Less words in your mouth, less things in your heart, less food in your stomach." With these three little things, the immortals can come. Wine should be thrifty, anger should be punished quickly, and strength should be used. Accordingly, this disease is rare. " There is also a passage in the book from Mr. Wang Yangming's true words about reading, which is worth learning by all readers: "When reading, you can get rid of your intimate knowledge; If you have the heart to hurry, go; How boastful and fighting, that is, get rid of it. In this way, being with the sages all day is just a matter of printing. This is a pure heart. Let him study. That's all he cares about. Why bother? " ……
What I can't agree with in the book is about the author's concubinage. It is really impossible for a nun to take the initiative to take a concubine for her husband. Moreover, the author went out as a staff member, went in and out of fireworks Liuxiang, and even featured in capital letters. Critics actually think that this is a man's true nature, but they really disagree. Maybe people's ideas at that time were very different from now, too. ...
