012-White Deer Plain-Chen Zhongshi-Novel-1993

——"A novel is considered to be the secret history of a nation."
The first edition of " White Deer Plain " was released in 1993. It used the stage of White Deer Village on White Deer Plain in the Guanzhong area of Shaanxi Province as a stage and shows the historical scrolls from the early years in the 20th century to the seventies in the 20th century.
Chen Zhongshi, born in Xi'an, Shaanxi in 1942, died in 2016. Representative works: "White Deer Plain", "Village", "Four Sisters" and so on.
The beginning of the novel has a certain fantasy color. Bai Jiaxuan's fate conflicts with his wife. The plant in the slope is transformed into a real white deer. It is inaccurate to say that the Chinese have no faith or worship. Most of us believe in Confucianism and worship ancestors.
A writer only writes vividly about his familiar life and writes realistically about the characters he has seen. As for the prototype of the story and the prototype of the characters, I don't think it's necessary to investigate. Even if these things didn't happen to Bai Jiaxuan or Lu Zilin, it probably happened to someone else. Therefore, the reader feels that the story of the work is true and that the characters in the work carry the shadow of someone around them.
Most people are easy to accept what is visualized, but resist accepting what is abstract. So, storytelling is one of the best educational methods. I think the difference between pure entertainment works and valuable works is that the only goal of entertainment works is to make people happy, while readers know clearly that such people and such things are contrary to the logic of reality.
So, when we finished watching AV in Japan, some romantic dramas in South Korea, and online novels in China, we were greatly satisfied. But we also knew that this was impossible in real life. When we finished watching Pride and Prejudice, we knew that we and the people around us often made mistakes made by Darcy and Elizabeth, thus promoting the process of introspection.
Mr. Zhu said that repairing the ancestral hall is a small good deed while setting up a school is a big good deed. In the era of farming, if even ordinary farmers can abide by such simple family management principles, then the folk customs are generally honest. The hope of a nation and a country lies in its minors. What kind of education a minor has received will determine where they will lead this nation and country in the future and how they will educate their next generations.
Bai Jiaxuan's parents are willing to pay all the savings to make their son get married. This reflects the Chinese's extreme attachment to lineage succession. From the fact that many young people are forced to marry by their parents, it can be seen that this kind of thinking still has a large number of supporters today, but the current family structure has changed from a large family to a small family, and the parents have little binding force on their children. When it comes to the middle of this century, this kind of thinking should be even weaker.
A person ’s own life is limited in length and width, and he cannot step into two rivers at the same time. But he can see the living conditions of other people in time and space through books. In the beginning, what attracted him was stories that made him feel strange. But in the end, he was usually impressed by various characters who were active on the historical stage. This makes the reader have a deeper understanding of human nature.
What is the significance of this realization? I think it probably makes us live more clearly. "The Analects of Confucius," says, "Only the wisest men and the most ignorant man are unchangeable." Most people are in between, so they are suffering. If we don't plan to walk in the direction of foolishness, then we will walk towards the goal of wisdom.
