My hometown-Lu Xun, what do you think?

Lu Xun commemorates his hometown in his novel Hometown, but in fact, there is nothing to commemorate that hometown. As a result, the past dreams were shattered by the sunshine of reality, leaving only sadness. But there is also hope that the younger generation will have their new life, which we have never experienced before. There is a cloud at the end of the original text: "I think it doesn't matter whether hope exists or not." It's like a road on the ground; In fact, there is no road on the ground. If there are many people walking, it will become a road. "This is a good motto, and it is also very good. Not as profound as Nietzsche, but much deeper.

There are two hometowns here, one is the past and the other is the present. In the past, my hometown was centered on the leap soil. I borrowed this young farmer to write about my childhood fascination: a golden full moon hung in the dark blue sky and endless green watermelons on the beach below. Now let's start with the leap soil. The real name of this leap soil is Zhang Lianshui. In the novel, the word "water" is replaced by the word "earth", which is homophonic and also a replacement. In Guoyin, it's a little isolated. His father is Zhang Fuqing, a native of Du Pu Village, Daoxu Township, northeast of the city. There is a seaside. He grows sand, but he is a craftsman. He can make bamboo products and have a "busy month" in Zhou Jia, which means helping. Sometimes, he came to fetch grass ash and bring water, but one year, because the sacrificial vessels in front of the New Year pictures needed to be guarded, he asked to use water as sacrificial vessels. As usual, the New Year lasted until the 18th day of the first month, so he lived in the city for quite a long time.

Guarding sacrificial container

In this paper, it is said that the value year of big sacrifice is thirty years from now. The novel was written in 192 1 year, which should be about 189 1 year. Actually, it was Guangxu Guisi, that is, 1893, and Lu Xun was thirteen years old. In Fupen Bridge, the Zhou family has two years of sacrificial value. One is the public sacrifice of the Seventh and Eighth Ancestors, which is held by Zhizhonghe in turn, and is divided into Zhi Ren Yong under Zhizhi and Xing Licheng under Zhizhi. Lu Xun was sent by Fang Xing. So it will take 27 years to turn it around. The second is to pay homage to the nine ancestors, which only takes nine years. In 1893, sacrifices were made in turn to sacrifice to the public, because in Shen Bing, that is, in 1896, Boyi built a house for many years. He did his duty in vain (his son Jing, who spent all his money in advance to pay the land rent, died of madness, as shown in Miscellanies of Baicaoyuan). That was the third year after that. Secondly, Pei Gong has more sacrifice assets and more sacrifices. There are a pair of bronze objects in front of the statue, namely incense burner candlestick and vase, which are very tall and heavy. Stealing one is worth a little money, and it is especially necessary to guard against it. Another special surprise was that Lu Xun's great-grandmother Lao Dai died on Renchen New Year's Eve the year before last, at the age of 79. Her ancestors had to move to other places, so she borrowed all the "big study rooms" in Ren Fang and hung them under the horizontal plaque of "Learning Beauty". It's on the west side of the gate, and there is no guard at the gate. Too careless. At that time, there was a family school in Yutian, Ren Fang. Mencius, that is, Kong Yi, sometimes sneaked in and took some stationery. Therefore, guards are even more essential.

Runtu father and son

It is said in the article that the leap soil can catch birds, which is his father's business, and it is described in Watching China at Night. His father's name is Fuqing, and the children call him "Uncle Qing". He is a farmer and a bamboo craftsman. He is very clever and capable. He used a rice screen to catch birds and put them in a sack spread upside down with bamboo coils. Later, he took a tin hip flask, filled it with half a pot of water, and stuffed the bird's head in the spout to suffocate. It is very simple and ingenious. It was very cold in winter in Renchen that year. It snowed heavily and accumulated a foot thick. The river was frozen. It is rare that a ship cannot sail for a day or two. Because of the heavy snow, birds have no place to eat, so it is easy to catch them. From then on, there will be no such opportunity. Even if it snows, no birds will come. It can be concluded that it was in the winter of Renchen, because Guisi has been busy with funerals and sacrifices in the first month, so he can't have this leisure time any more. At that time, Runtu first appeared, with an interval of six years. His second appearance was in the first month of Gengzi (1900). On the seventh day of the seventh day, the diary said, "It's ridiculous to go to Jiangqiao in the afternoon and transport water to Taoerfeng, and let's watch the rest together." I don't know what the words are, but I still remember some of them, such as chaos, yin and yang slaps, etc. Finally, I hit the nail on the head and said: don't be so obsessed! Runtu became dejected and despondent, so Lu Xun laughed at him and said that he was ill. Take Tao Erfeng as an example. He is embarrassed. A few years later, Uncle Qing looked old and melancholy. After listening to the old lady Lu, he realized that his family was in a bad family. After he got married, he lived a better life with a widow in the village and finally divorced. Of course, Zhang Jia has to spend some money. It may be reasonable to be dissatisfied with the arranged marriage by leaps and bounds, but the farmers by the sea have suffered a lot after this storm. No wonder uncle Qing was hit hard. It was later speculated that Tao Erfeng's divination was probably the problem at that time. When the fortune teller saw his expression, he cursed like this. Here, you can also see the diviner's alertness and Jianghu tactics.

Tofu beauty

The third appearance of soil improvement was after the Republic of China, assuming that it was the first year of the Republic of China (19 12). Assuming that he is the same age as Lu Xun, he should be thirty-two years old at that time, but as this article says, he is already haggard, because, like honest farmers, they all "live a bitter and hemp life." This dim air used to be common in rural areas. Lu Xun's second hometown was Shaoxing in the eighth year of the Republic of China (19 19). In this context, there is still a leap soil, which appeared in the early years of the Republic of China. The illusion of the seaside has long since disappeared, leaving only the old house with "many broken stems on the corrugated grass shaking with the wind". Those small animals, such as rice chicken, horned chicken, herring, jumping fish and eating watermelon, are all called vulgar characters. In the novel, those who write by dogs and look up words by dogs are all gone, except for a few women, including YanTaitai, but Yang Er's sister-in-law is specially mentioned, nicknamed "Tofu Beauty". There is a reason for the name of Tofu Beauty. Yang Er's sister-in-law is of course just a fictional character. After listening to the story and watching the operas, the villagers remembered the story of losing Sim's name, thinking that she must be a "tricky" woman, so they used it as a name to swear. I don't know where I heard that there was a beautiful woman in ancient times (I don't remember her in Shaoxing Opera), so she used this to describe the beautiful woman. In fact, she was a beauty lover, because there was some irony in it. There is probably such a coquettish person in the tofu shop nearby, leaving this name in Lu Xun's memory. As for real people, it is not clear. Sister-in-law Yang Er is just an ordinary neighbor woman. Please ask her to replace this nickname. Her words and deeds are generally realistic, but they are not from one person's mouth, and they also contain elements of YanTaitai.

Hometown is a novel, and readers should treat it as a novel, no matter how many facts there are. Don't quote facts from the inside, one can see how the author uses the materials, and the other can be simply explained, which is a kind of annotation. On the other hand, although readers don't regard novels as facts, some people may look for biographical information from them, so I'm here to give them some help to avoid confusing reality with fiction. This is not only a novel, but also a self-narrative record of literature. Goethe, a German writer, wrote a autobiography entitled Poetry and Truth, which is just right, indicating that it contains these two things. Of course, the two are completely separated, but most of them are mixed together, which is a bit poetic. This is a good article, but when it is used as biographical material, it is a little different. It takes some thinking to embed correctly. The backbone of this novel came from his hometown and moved to the north. 19 19 winter, 1 February/0/day left Beijing,1returned to Beijing on February 29th. It is not superfluous to check Lu Xun's diary in detail today. But the story ends here. In addition, there are some poetic elements, such as visiting the door and seeing "many broken stems of hay on corrugated cardboard swaying with the wind", which is very good, but in fact, the roof tiles in the south are just folded in vain, unlike the mud stuck in the north, weeds can take root in the cracks, all of which are tile pine, withered in winter, and there is no broken stem standing like sedge. On the other hand, if it is said here that there are some withered tiles on the corrugated board, the effectiveness of the text is much worse.

Travel distance

The journey from Shaoxing to Beijing can be divided into two parts. The first section is from Shaoxing to Hangzhou, and the second section is from Hangzhou to Beijing. The lengths of these two paragraphs are very different, but they are very different. The first section is by boat, and the second section is by train. Hangzhou Nanxingqiao Station departs, arrives at Shanghai South Railway Station on the same day, and gets on the bus at North Railway Station the next morning. After Nanjing Pukou Ferry, you change to Jinpu Bus, then arrive in Tianjin at night, and then you can take the Jingfeng Bus at that time. You can arrive at Zhengyangmen that evening, and you have to change trains four times, but the trains are all the same. Shaoxing is only one stop from Xiaoshan West Gate to Xixing Town. One night by boat is enough. Starting from Xixing, you can cross Qiantang River on foot or by car. By that time, you had been towed by a small steamboat, which was safe and fast. The Songmaochang on the other side is Hangzhou, not far from Nanxing Bridge. You have time to buy a ticket and get on the bus. This night's boat trip is the most interesting, but it is better to go home, because the scenery of the water town is really good when squatting at the bow in summer. When I came from Shaoxing, I only saw the Guo area. There was nothing to see, and I was always in a bad mood when I left home, which was also a reason. The distance mentioned in this paper is only a part of the waterway. Because of moving, even when I get home, it is a bit bleak, especially when I leave home. Although it's simple to say "I'm lying down listening to the underwater sound of the boat", it's fascinating. This article only talks about mother and Honger, which is naturally a fictional place. In fact, there were seven people who went with him, two of whom were third sister-in-law. The eldest daughter Molly was only three years old, and the eldest son Chong was two years old and died in the countryside. The second son has no name yet. Seven months after his birth, he was poeticized in the novel and became an eight-year-old red son, because otherwise he could not be with Runtu.
