The ferryer of literature is gone

The editor of the Literary and Art News told me that Teacher Cui Daoyi had gone. I paused, my life was really fragile, and the trees were always guarding the glory of the four seasons. A plain person is full of artistic temperament. His talk is gentle, elegant, and polite, and the literary form of the whole person standing there is very strong, especially when talking, the shallots and seriousness of writing are extremely upward, and they are extremely upward. of.

This feeling belongs to time first, and knows a person as a dependence of time, and my mind is trying to search for the scene with Teacher Cui Daoyi.

Thinking of it in Shaoxing, the fourth Lu Xun Literature Award was awarded. Together with Sister Jiang Yun, under a tree, he walked us, his goal was significant, and he suddenly sucked my eyes. At the same time, Teacher Shi Zhanjun, who was still following Mr. Cui Daoyi, looked really happy. In the introduction of each other, I talked about the award -winning novels of Jiang Yun. The little man was relieved by the bright sunshine in front of the big man, and for the first time, he felt that the literary predecessor said that he was telling the bottom of his arms.

If you meet you, you will have later emails. At the same time, Teacher Cui Daoyi knew another literary predecessor, Mr. Zhang Shouren, with a smile on his face.

The influence of the two seniors on me starts with a scheduled prose.

Teacher Cui Daoyi asked me to write a "essay" for the "People's Daily" supplement. When I wrote it, I received an email from Mr. Cui:

Level:

Hi. You are invited to write the work of "Essays" and see it early. At that time, I felt that I didn't expect it -I expected that your work should undoubtedly be "headlines" -so I couldn't get back, and I had to wait for Mr. Zhang Shouren to read it. After looking at it, I was not very satisfied. I thought that "the skin was small". If it was reserved, it was necessary to add compression. And he was exclusively prose and let me compress. These are busy with the "essay" draft that I have received early, and I have not had time to process you.

Now, sending this letter to you is to ask for your opinions. Can you agree to compress our works- "People's Daily" emphasizes that it is best to be within two thousand words -then you need to delete nearly a thousand words Essence

Therefore, I have an idea -can you write another article and stick closer to the "Singing Singing 60 Years", only two thousand words, but it has more flavor and weight. I sincerely hope that in this "essay", you can have more eye -catching performances.

If you are busy and do not want to write new, please explain, do you agree with us to compress?

waiting for your reply. Bless you everything goes well.

Cui Daoyi at 10:23 on June 3rd

"Big stuffing is small", I stared at these four words for a long time. How important it was a powerful criticism, a powerful help, especially for a literary youth. I rarely saw such literary care and literary criticism. The love of literature is not a literary attitude, it is the attitude of life. Life provides a literary material for an author. It is learned that the Tao respects these materials, rather than the emotional coverage of these materials from the earth. The people who write are all superior people in their hearts. They have experience and understand life. They are obviously held tightly by themselves. They are obviously tightly held by themselves. In fact, in this way, literary creation loses interest, loses vividness, and loses its strength. In the final analysis, this sentence reminds me, or warn me. There are many disadvantages and problems in my creation. If you enjoy the compliments that come to the face, the word "holding kill" must not be too much.

Teacher Zhang Shouren once wrote an article called "The Ferry of Literature -Cui Daoyi", which talks about the creative experience of Mr. Li Guowen. A writer who has suffered from suffering, what should be and the essence of life, although he has unclear but firm insights and directions. Unfortunately, the ancient training of "thousands of miles and horses, Bole is not often available". Although it does not carry anything, it may change the fate of talented Chinese. In the article, Teacher Li Guowen said: "Editing labor is a cost of paying, but the results do not belong to their own labor. It is because of the editor's labor that it can ensure that the writer's labor is not paid. History, which is engraved with the writer's name, the name of the literary critics, and the name of the leadership literary and artistic athletes. There is no editor -of course the name of the people who cross the river, which is of course unfair. "

Once and Teacher Cui Daoyi talked about the creation in the circuit and and from email. He said: You keep Taihang Mountain that is equivalent to possessing a literary rich mine. As long as you are not impetuous after you win the prize, you will definitely write good works.

There are few people who are not impetuous after winning. No matter how great a person feels like, it is difficult to know that his limitations and the limitations of his environment, let alone the limitations we are in the world. Some people will break, some will be restrained for a long time. Once writing is restrained by fame and fortune, people will become strange. Everyone has no shortage of knowledge of life and understanding of life, but a person does not know hard work, self -restraint, and tolerance loneliness. It really feels funny.

Make a wedding dress for others for a lifetime.

In the words of Mr. Cui Daoyi, the work of literary editing is "making wedding clothes for others". He summarized the "five -character tactics" of the editorial work: the manuscript should be "accurate", the selection of drafts must be "wide", the manuscript must be "detailed", the recovery must be "cautious", and the release should be "strict".

Qin Taoyu's "Poor Girl" in "Three Hundred Tang Poems" has passed on his famous sentence: "Hating the golden thread of the year and making wedding clothes for others." A metaphor of a state of life and character -dedication to others proud. This state was later quoted to describe the characteristics of certain industries to express the quality of the industry and practitioners. In the distribution system, the industry who specializes in editing work is often praised by the author as a "wedding dress for others'."

Teacher Cui Daoyi's explanation is like a mirror, reflecting the brilliant clearness of editors and writers. A clean and refreshing person, the relative philosophical connotation, is really fortunate to have been his author. A scholar who lives to the state of immortality and age is an editor's work and an important part of his life. What is a fairy? A state of heart is a god.

As Mr. Zhang Shouren asked Teacher Cui Daoyi, I once asked Teacher Cui in depth: "I want to know Mr. Cui's experience in the creation of novels. After all, you are an excellent editor."

Mr. Cui Daoyi, who had white hair and a bright smile under the sun, said: "I have no theory. According to the experience of reading and compilation over the years, five words are summarized, namely people, love, affairs, reason, taste, and taste. The quality of novels. People are characters; love is emotion; things are stories, plots; reason, meaning, meaning, philosophy or thought; information."

This is a high standard for writing novel writing, but how many people can approach?

When I was immersed in the memories of the past, these past events became more precious due to changes in the world. I sighed for the infinite sigh of life, so I knew "the limit of life and death, but the difference between the front line", and the past life sadness, joy and joy, now it seems to be just a life experience, so I will find out how much is the original "complacent". Light, it is not important, it is just a person's experience, that's all. Compared with Cui Daoyi and Mr. Zhang Shouren, they are like the leaders of the spirit, and I will always look up in front of them.

The ferryer of literature is gone. In front of the river of literature, many people will miss him. He understands the secret of this river and it. Today, in the back and forth, he stays on the other side, and he understands his choices and positions. I think that in another world, he is still the ferry of literature. One white hair, a red clothes, standing between heaven and earth, he is a landscape, a forever for the world!
