Prose
Yang Shuo is a poet's soul to feel and express life. Most of his essays were written in the 1950s and 1960s. Therefore, the new social style and high spirit of the times of the Chinese people, the beautiful soul of thousands of ordinary workers and the magnificent steps of builders have become the main melody of Yang Shuo's prose creation. In the face of a new era, Yang Shuo's fiery and sensitive poetic heart makes him truly feel that China's socialist cause, such as the rising sun, is booming. Our people have the confidence of the times, and can create the never fading spring in human history, thus stimulating an endless enthusiasm, sincerity and deep emotion, and writing a series of poems full of rich flavor Camellia Fu is one of the most representative works.
In the ode to camellia, Yang Shuo expresses his feelings directly at the beginning, and writes "I" because I have been in a foreign country for a long time, it is inevitable to miss my motherland. Sometimes I miss my motherland very much. "I" also thought: "how good it is to be able to draw a picture, draw the features of the motherland, and hang it in front of my eyes all the time." The hearty emotional expression deeply moved the readers, and then caused a strong resonance in the hearts of the readers. In order to appease this yearning, he asked someone to paint. However, this made the master of Danqing feel rather difficult, because no matter how he embellished it, it was difficult to depict the changing beauty of the motherland. However, the author had no choice but to "put aside this idea". It can be imagined that this unfulfilled wish can not "put aside" his attachment to the motherland. Therefore, when he "returned from overseas and stepped into Kunming, his heart was drunk." The word "drunk" vividly describes the feeling that the child who has been away from his mother for a long time finally falls into his mother's arms. It makes us vaguely see the poet's intoxication, intoxication, drunkenness and drunkenness. When the poet takes a look at the Camellia in full swing, his poetic heart moves like a crazy fan. The long suppressed sincere and strong feelings for the motherland burst out like a volcano. He writes about the camellia, praises the motherland everywhere, and symbolizes the beautiful future of the motherland with the most beautiful and colorful children's face camellia. This is not only the solid foundation for the lofty and poetic conception of the works, but also the real reason to move the readers.
In Yang Shuo's prose, "Jing" becomes the shell of the image attached to emotion and reason. Yang Shuo is good at catching the spout of deep emotion and philosophy. He often expresses his feelings on the spot, that is to say, things speak of reason. Through the description of one person, one thing, one scene, it shows the pace of our times and expresses our strong emotion. For example, in Haishi, Yang Shuo begins with an ethereal painting of a mirage, bringing people into a mythical dreamland with magnificent colors; then, with clever Association, he transits to the reality of the scenery of Changshan Archipelago, and enthusiastically eulogizes the happy life of the fishermen there today; finally, he comes to the conclusion that "the real Haishi is more new than the ethereal dreamland." "Strange".
In addition, in the ode to camellia, Yang Shuo also shows the prosperity of the motherland by using the gorgeous camellia; in Xiangshan red leaves, Yang Shuo uses the gorgeous red leaves to embody the revolutionary spirit of aging and becoming more and more red; in litchi honey, Yang Shuo connects the sweet honey with the beautiful life of the people in the new society, to praise the bees who create the sweet honey, and then to praise the creation of the honey Working people with a better life.
