Yan Gang of "present"

Liquan is the Gyeonggi resort of Zhou Qin, Han and Tang dynasties. In this place, there are talents, and Song Bolu's hometown of Song Bolu is in Liquan. Song Bolu, a bachelor's time in the late Qing Dynasty, was in Beijing in 1895, and created the "Insurance Congress" with Kang Youwei. He was a very courageous emperor in the Reform Movement of the Reform Movement. His poems are superb, and their calligraphy and painting are strong and strong.

Liquan also has a famous family. This is the Yan family of Yan family in the county seat. Every 100 years ago, everyone in the Yan family grew up in the local official, and had a friendship with Jin Lan with Song Bolu. The heirs of the Yan family poems are talented. My university teacher, Yan Jinghan (pseudonym Wang Yanbei), who is well -known in the literary world, is the Yan family. In 2018, I wrote Mr. Yan Jinghan's article "Mr. Teaching Me", "Guangming Daily "Most of them. There are also experts in Li Bai and Han Yu, Yan Qi, senior professor of Northwestern University, experts from Lu Xun and Sun Li, and Yan Qingsheng, senior professor of Shaanxi Normal University, all came from the Yan family. Of course, the Yan family also had a great character, which was Yan Gang.

Yan Gang was 20 years old, and we have been dating for 40 years. From the beginning, Yan Gang called me to "tracked his brother". I was also called Yan Gang "big brother". The 20 -year -old gap, Yan Gang's self -descendant section called me like this, which made me a little panic, but also felt kind. "Brother" is the "elder brother". In the Guanzhong family, the authority of the "elder brother" is second only to my father. My name is Yan Gang's "big brother", expressing my love and respect for him from the bottom of his heart.

1. Yan Gang and Literature Shaanxi Army

As an important literary critic in the contemporary Chinese literary world, Yan Gang is in an important job in Beijing, unifying the overall situation of the country, looking at the sixth road, and listening to the eight directions. But what I want to say is that Yan Gang is the deepest, heavier, and most effort to Shaanxi writers. Of course, this is inseparable from his homeland. The deeper reason is that the cultural value support of this land is the same as him. Shaanxi has a strong literary tradition. Ke Zhongping, Liu Qing, Wang Wenshi, Du Pengcheng, Li Ruobing, Wei Gangyan, and commented on everyone Hu Cai. They can be regarded as the leader of a new generation of Shaanxi writers. The important square matrix, the new generation of writers grew up behind them. There is a literary tree around, and it is a good thing, but when you grow under these big trees, another situation may also occur. This is that there is no grass under the big tree. The grass was blocked by the big tree, and the grass was ashamed, and it was not straight to the waist. In addition, literary genes have their heredity, inheritance, and continuity. Of course, it is a good thing. Now, in the new generation of a new generation of Shaanxi writers, when they first set off on the road of literature, the traces of imitating the older generation of writers were still obvious, including Lu Yao and Chen Zhongshi. Earlier Shaanxi writers struggled in the muds of confident and inferiority and inferiority. Most of them are from farmhouses, climbing out of the bottom of the society, and the education they receive is not complete, let alone elite education, so they form such a situation: on the one hand, they are ambitious, and they are determined to do great things. On the other hand, carrying a heavy burden of the cause, this is both ideological and conscious because of the burden, as well as survival conditions. Their most terrible demon is to feel their soil. In their eyes, Beijing, Tianjin and Shanghai are the first, and the writer's ideological consciousness is very new and very advanced. Our old bowls in Shaanxi eat sticky writers. Essence In the spring of 1985, the writers and scientists of the five provinces and regions in the Northwest, I am one of the organizers and hosts of the conference. Although the meeting was held on the ground in Shaanxi, Ningxia writers were the best. Because they were "foreign", the meeting held a ball. Ningxia writers flew around, and Shaanxi writer turtles shrank, and few dared to dance in the dance floor.

It was during this period that Yan Gang made a voice of "walking out of Tongguan" to Shaanxi writers. Tongguan is the East Gate of Shaanxi. Going out of Tongguan means emancipating the mind, the courage to surpass, shake the spirit, take out the "hard goods", knock on the heart of the broader readers, and knock on the door of a wider world.

On June 3, 1883, Yan Gang wrote the article "Going out of Tongguan" in accordance with the contract of "Baoji Literature". This article was also published in "Novel Review" at the same time. This is not a long article, which is very shocking to Shaanxi writers. While encouraging Shaanxi writers, Yan Gang's article also pointed out his weaknesses: Shaanxi writers are "honest and not deceiving but hurt too much; they are too soil out of the soil", they are not good at hiding themselves, and they are not good at saying "half" sentences. In the case, he is not good at being different and not good at cutting the ingenious structure. Therefore, since Lu Yao's "Life" in 1982, no one has won the National Literature Award.

The voice of "walking out of Tongguan" was deafening. Shaanxi writers began to face themselves seriously, reflect on themselves, and review themselves. Many discussions, "walking out of Tongguan" has become an important issue. The most iconic literary activity is the "Shaanxi Long Pianx Novel Promotion Association" held in the autumn of 1985. Nearly 50 writers of Lao Zhongqing, Shaanxi, took a large car from Xi'an. Round the opening gongs and drums, drove to Yan'an, drove to Yulin, and finally worshiped the Literature Fire League in the moonlight night of Mao Usu Desert. There were three main organizers of this meeting: Lu Yao, me, and Li Xiaoba, the leader of the creative team of Shaanxi Writers Association at that time. I called the Mao Usu Desert's activity this night as the "Desert League Oath". It was after this meeting that Lu Yao joined the creation of "Ordinary World". Jia Pingwa began to write "Great", Jingfu's writing "Bali Love", Cheng Hai brewing "Love Destiny", Zou Zhian wrote "The Most Love Men" , I also started writing "Dead Youth". Chen Zhongshi wrote a handfulness. He had no long writing plan, but in winter, in the process of writing "Mr. Blue Robe", he suddenly evoked the memory of Bailu Plain's early life and wrote the idea of ​​"White Deer Plain" instantly. As a result, it triggered the phenomenon of the eastward signs of the Literature Shaanxi Army, which has followed the country. The gathering and departure of the Literature Shaanxi Army are naturally the result of the accumulation of Shaanxi writers. However, Shaanxi writers are so arrogant, and the fire in her heart is ignited by Yan Gang's "walking out of Tongguan". This high -pitched voice gave Shaanxi writers goals, confidence, passion, and motivation. As a result, Shaanxi writers got rid of the tangles in their hearts and thought of "big work and doing big things."

If Liu Qing is the spiritual mentor of the Literature Shaanxi Army, Yan Gang can be regarded as the shapinger of the Literature Shaanxi Army. From the article "Going out of Tongguan", it can be seen that Yan Gang is working hard to shape the Shaanxi Army. He knows the strengths and weaknesses of Shaanxi writers, and he knows what to keep and eliminate what Shaanxi writers have to keep. Throughout the new period, Yan Gang and Shaanxi writers have maintained close interaction. The writer went to Beijing to visit the elder brothers such as Yan Gang and Zhou Ming. Yan Gang returned to Shaanxi to meet with friends. In the exchanges that penetrate the sincere feelings, he praised, encouraged, enlightened, advice, criticism, criticism, and correction of Shaanxi writers, because he had a high standing position, understanding the situation of the entire literary world, and good prestige and high prestige. The words of Shaanxi are naturally very important among Shaanxi writers. A large number of writers in Shaanxi have benefited a lot from him. The reason why the Literature Shaanxi Army can become a climate is that Yan Ganggong is very good! So I said that Yan Gang was the shaped division of the Literature Shaanxi Army, and it was no exaggeration.

2. Yan Gang and Chinese critics team

There is a very interesting phenomenon of contemporary literary critics. I call it "ten years chain" or "ten years of echelon". At the top, the older generation is a highly respected comment on Feng Mu. On the lower side is Yan Gang, radar, Bai Yan, Li Jingze, Li Jianjun, etc., and they are about ten years old. This sequence has a common feature, which is the "present" of literary reviews.

I have a less scientific but clear and clear division of the Chinese Contemporary Literature Review Team. This is "present" and "not present". "Passing" and "not present" are originally a philosophical concept, but they are also adapted to literary reviews. "Passing" is to be familiar with and understand what you are facing. He has direct experience in things, presents the true face and laws of things, has no obstruction, and has clear cognitive attributes. In other words, the subject of the critic is not separated from the object of the commentary, so as to obtain the true nature of comments. The above -mentioned chains from Feng Mu and Yan Gang have been edited, and they are all editable. They are familiar with writers and have been deeply involved in the writer's creative practice. They are not separated from writers and works, so that they are possible to comment on the "presence" of their comments.

On the contrary, "not present" is another way. Their literary review may belong to a certain theoretical system, but because of the diaphragm of the comment object and the separation of creative practice, this theory is just a basket. Everything is everything. Everything is everything. To be installed in this basket, complicated and deep, and different creative practices, and the literary works of all kinds of people have become the filling of their baskets. Reading their comments, they often get only the concept of large and unlicensed, the general theory of the Yunshan fog cover, and the words of 佶 读 读 读. Their purpose is to use the work to confirm their theory, make a footnote for mysterious and mysterious theory, fill their baskets of their baskets, and fill their baskets. Instead of explaining the works with your own unique eyes, revealing the nature of art creation, and understanding the truth of life. In this comment, the more people do n’t understand, it seems that the deepness of the critics becomes more. This is a sad phenomenon of contemporary literature reviews.

The "field nature" of literary reviews refuses this basket, but advocates that it is close to life, close to art creation practice, close to art students' hair and creative laws, affinity writers, affinity readers. They are good teachers and friends of writers. Some good works have infiltrated their efforts in the creation process. Their insights and their opinions will always inspire writers, and sometimes even have the effects of pouring tops and stones. Yan Gang played the role of "ten -year chain ring" literary critics in the "present" literary critics.的 can also be regarded as his younger brother, and now Li Jingze, who is shining in the Chinese literary world, the starting point of his career is under his Majesty. As a small hometown, Li Jianjun also benefited from him. From this point of view, Yan Gang is a banner of the Chinese literature critics. Third, literati and bones, redness of redness

Li Bai expressed his respect for Meng Haoran, and sang the poem of "high mountains can be admirable, this is the same as Qingfen". Yan Gang is also a mountain. In his career, he has the height of the mountain. In personality, he is more towering and strong.

Liquan County edited local literary and historical materials, and made four thick "Yan Gang albums". After I read the album, I planned a couplet and wrote a gift to Brother Yan Gang. Shanglian: "Slim, only one pair of iron bones"; Xialian: "Heart is wide, and he is full of frankness." This couplet wrote that Yan Gang's morality and wind and bone sentiments expressed my sincere respect for the elder brother.

Yan Gang is versatile, and he can read and write articles. This is the industry. Naturally, he is not good at calligraphy. In addition, he is good at calligraphy. Video, he cooperated with folk artists in Liquan to perform drums. But there are a few that he will never be: he will not be able to shoot horses, will not speculate in the camp, and will not look down at it. Liquan and my hometown of Puyang One River. These two places have the same culture and folk customs. Relief, loyalty, rigidity, and respectful respect are supported by people on the land of this side. Cultural factors. At the age of ninety years old, he is not so healthy to the motherland, the people, the hometown, the land, and the earth. Promote culture, promote literature, and care for the support of literature. His feelings of fire warmed the land of this side.

Yan Gang is old, and his life is seventy years old, not to mention that Yan Gang is already a year of back; Yan Gang is not old, because he is awesome and still strives to do something. We applaud Yan Gang and bless Yan Gang.
