In "Beijing in the prose", readers can clearly feel the true love of many writers for Beijing. Mr. Lao She talked about his feelings for Peiping in "Think of Peiping": "The Peiping I love is not something in the branches, but a period of history, a large place with the whole of my heart, a large place, a large place, a large place. How many scenes are wins, from the dragonfly of Shichahai to the tower shadow of Yuquan Mountain in my dream after the rain, it has accumulated a piece. There is me in each small event. There is a Peiping in each of my thoughts. I can't say it. "

Even if they are born in Sri Lanka, they are more than Sri Lanka, and writers of different eras have different views on Beijing. Shi Yifeng, who grew up in Beijing, believes that Mr. Lao She's words just indicate that Beijing is difficult to summarize. It is difficult to summarize the best characteristics of a city.

For Shi Yifeng, writing Beijing is like a huge puzzle, and he can always find new discoveries in this place. The process of discovering the new subject matter is not only the process of continuously exploring the internal texture of the city's flowing city, but also the process of patching together the spiritual image of Beijing.

It is these "what kind of branches and branches" have touched Qiao Ye's writing about Beijing and hit the depths of people's hearts. In the field of literary creation, because of language characteristics, there is the saying of "Jingwei" literature. The writer Ning Ken mentioned that even when writing other cities, the way he wrote still had the characteristics of Beijing dialect, "in short sentences, pay attention to simply crimson."

Because of this Oxygen, fresh nutrition, fresh possibility, can penetrate into today's life. " Because of its roots, Beijing's innovation is particularly powerful.
