w88 casino News Network (Reporter Wu Feng) On the evening of November 8, Ge Fei, professor of the Chinese Department of Tsinghua University and famous writer, visited UIBE and led the students on a literary journey. This lecture is sponsored by the Student Union“Famous Teacher Lecture Hall”The first lecture of the humanities chapter. Using novels as the theme, Ge Fei launched an introduction and discussion on the development of Chinese literature.
The lecture topic was originally planned as“Literature Movie Music”, Due to time constraints, Professor Ge Fei only focused on literature. Because it was only a small lecture, and we were students majoring in economics, Ge Fei was unable to introduce the vast literary topics in depth and comprehensively. However, he focused on the theme of Chinese novels, the antelope hanging horns, in detail and outline, and laid out a vivid literary picture for the students.
In the 1980s, Ge Fei was once known as Yu Hua and Su Tong“Pioneer Novels”'s Troika, his novel "Peach Blossom" had a great influence in 2004. He also has certain opinions in movies and music. In this lecture, in addition to the scholar's own knowledge, he also left an impression of humor and alertness.
At the beginning of the lecture, Ge Fei emphasized that he did not like to participate in lectures of this kind. This time, he had been invited many times and it was difficult to refuse. He wanted to communicate with everyone casually and naturally. He had no manuscripts and was all impromptu. He loves Chinese novels. When talking about his increasing admiration for Chinese characters as he grows older, he talked about his own experience: During the May Fourth New Culture Movement, Yan Fu and Lu Xun advocated aligning with Western culture. "Chinese novels are not worth reading." This influenced a group of young intellectuals. When Ge Fei was young, he almost only read Western works. Can Xue, a famous contemporary female writer, also holds the view that "Chinese writers have their roots in the West." He made a brief comment on some Western novels: French novels advocate monism and are very pure. For example, Maupassant, and even Balzac, a master of novels known as masterpieces, have very intuitive storylines. There are many elements in the works of German Goethe. He also particularly admired Russian novelists, Tolstoy and Tostoyevsky. He said that he was fascinated when he read "Crime and Punishment". Russia is a country of pluralism, and the elements in its works are complex and multifarious, creating a truly unbridled atmosphere.
When talking about how he began to pay attention to the literature of his country, he told some vivid and interesting stories, all of which were personal experiences. Director Chen Kaige used to be an admirer of Western culture. He once proudly directed his early film "The King of Children"
Going to participate in the Cannes Film Festival. This is a movie with Western aesthetic characteristics, but it won the "Golden Alarm Clock Award". He humorously said that the movie is too boring and makes people sleep, and they need an alarm clock to wake them up——Represents the worst movie. In comparison, Zhang Yimou is much "smarter" and has attracted the attention of international movie fans with his Chinese characteristics. Later, Chen Kaige's major production of "Farewell My Concubine" won international acclaim for its traditional Peking opera culture. Another example: Ge Fei, Shi Tiesheng, and Yu Hua once visited the Royal Academy of Literature in Sweden and found that their collection of Chinese books included "Jin Ping Mei", "Twenty-Five Histories", etc., but the Chinese treasure "Dream of Red Mansions" was missing. The reason turned out to be that there was no translation there. The foreign masters who awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature felt that Dream of Red Mansions was not well written. Shi Tiesheng said to Ge Fei: "Winning the Nobel Prize in Literature doesn't mean anything. I don't want to win it." Ge Fei said that this is just a matter of literary trends. The West cannot explain China's own literature, and the West is too indifferent to Chinese literature. Some people say that ancient Chinese novels are not novels in the true sense according to foreign art theories, but who sets the standards for so-called true novels? Who says chapter novels are not novels? We should have our own literary values. His remark won applause from his classmates.
Ge Fei specifically talked about the importance of ancient Chinese literature. He said that Zhang Ailing's novels were completely influenced by "Dream of Red Mansions" and Wang Zengqi learned from Gui Youguang. The ancients were meticulous in their work. The astronomical phenomena recorded in "Zuo Zhuan" are almost error-free through modern scientific research; the ancient wording and words have profound meanings and instructions. The ancients were beheaded when writing books, but they could continue to write them generation after generation. Now I find that Japanese literati are more serious than Chinese literati and have learned the spirit of our ancient literati. "Language changes can also reflect changes in nationality to a certain extent," he said. Zhang Ailing once said: "In a few decades, no one in China may be able to read and understand Dream of Red Mansions." This talented female writer has read tens of millions of Western works. When asked which one she liked best, she said that Chinese novels are still better, and "Dream of Red Mansions" is the best. Professor Ge Fei made an analogy: in Western novels, butterflies fly and fly, and they will eventually land on a white glove; in Chinese novels, butterflies will definitely land in the grass. Western literature pays attention to authenticity and truth, while Chinese works are more humane. Shen Congwen did not have a big education, but he wrote about the warmth and warmth of the world with the most natural pen and the gentlest humanity. It is not advisable to use Western literary theories to describe Chinese literature.
Ge Fei said that novels allude to culture. To be a good reader, you must be able to use a dictionary to understand novels, both classical and modern, and you must have a spirit of research.
After that, the students asked Ge Fei some questions about culture, about Zhang Ailing and Hu Lancheng, about the characteristics of women in Dream of Red Mansions, about the trend of modern Chinese literati, about the relationship between movies and novels, about the evaluation of Li Ao, and so on. Ge Fei reacted quickly and gave very witty answers.
Finally, the student union presented a souvenir to Professor Ge Fei. The host concluded with what Ge Fei once said, believing that these two hours were a "resistance against forgetfulness."
