Cover reporter Zhang Jie intern Zheng Hao

2022 is the 20th anniversary of the death of Chinese modern writer Sun Li. In recent years, Sun Li's works have not been drowned in the depths of time. Instead, they are becoming more and more common in bookstores. They have appeared in a variety of versions. They have a faithful reader fan, showing a strong artistic vitality.

In the perspective of the youth critic Huang Dehai, who has also planned to publish Sun Li's works and has planned to publish the collection of "Writes Reading", Sun Li is a writer who has never been forgotten. The main reason is that many of his works have included in primary and secondary school textbooks.

Huang Dehai (I have a picture of myself)

Textbooks are very important, leaving a particularly deep impression in children and adolescents. Mr. Sun Li probably did not expect this before his lifetime. In addition to the early novel series of "Lotus", Sun Li's "Yunzhai Novels" in his later years, innocent and spicy. "I personally think that in a greater sense, it is written to myself. Become a special style. "

In addition to novel writing, Sun Li's prose of reading is also loved by fans. "Written Books" is a collection of Sun Li talks about buying books, getting books, collecting books, and reading life in his life. As an editor of the book, Huang Dehai praises it. "From this book, we can see simplicity, convergence and love. Simplicity, is Sun Li's text. Convergence is restraint of expression. Love is love for the world. After learning a lot, you might as well say that the previous experience is the biggest gain. In fact, the process of editing a book always benefits yourself. "

In addition to Sun Li, let Huang Dehai read the way of reading his reading. 2022 is the 110th anniversary of Kim Kimu's birthday. Kim Kemu (1912-2000), a professor at the Department of Oriental Literature and Literature of Peking University, is well known for many languages, and studies Chinese and Western. "Collection", "Old Study New Knowledge Collection" and so on. As a generation of learning, Kim Kimu has its own uniqueness in reading and study. As early as 2007, Huang Dehai planned and edited a collection of Big Kimu Talking for reading and studying "The Book Reading".

Huang Dehai has selected more than 50 articles about reading and academic methods from about 30 published works before Kim Kemu's life, helping readers a glimpse of everyone's schooling. This book has a good response, and the sales volume and word of mouth are very good. In May 2017, an additional version was released.

Given that Kim Kimu has no detailed year or research biographies in a generation, it is regrettable. In June 2022, Huang Dehai edited a book "Reading · Reader · Reading Reading -Jin Kemu Early Record" with an annual bodies, which was launched by writer publishing house. Huang Dehai reads the works of Kim Kimu again, and uses citation+statement to outline how a person is staggered in the times, leaving self -study and not giving up. Achieving your own spiritual world. Although this book is non -fiction, but because of the vivid details, it has the spirit of another growth novel.

Who is Huang Dehai? Why is he interested in reading and life of Sun Li, Kim Kemu and others? In fact, the editor is not Huang Dehai's job. Huang Dehai, born in 1977, graduated from the Chinese Department of Fudan University in 2004. Now is the deputy editor -in -chief of the literary magazine "Sinan Literature Selection" hosted by the Shanghai Writers Association, a special researcher at the Modern Literature Museum of China.

Huang Dehai is particularly good at literary reviews. He has authored "Articles in the World", "News of the Book of Songs", "Reading Late to Reading in this Life", "Quictional Life" and "Fiction" and so on. He has won the 8th "Tang Tao Youth Literature Research Award", the 17th "Chinese Literature Media Ceremony · Annual Literature Critics", and the third "Shanhua Literature Biennale · Prose Award". Editor, comment, write books. Let him have his own profound experience and observation of literature. In July 2022, the cover reporter interviewed Huang Dehai exclusively.

Dialogue Huang Dehai: "Good literary criticism is a collaborative towards unknown exploration journey"

Cover news: The "Book Reading" series you participated in the plan, in addition to Kim Kimu's "Books Reading", Sun Li's "Written Books", and "Reading by Children", Lu Shuxiang's "There are too few books". In addition, you also planned to publish a set of Zhu Guangqian's selection, one of which is also about reading. Why are you willing to plan a set of books with reading?

Huang Dehai: In fact, I just want to convey a little bit of the teaching and interests obtained by reading these gentlemen and share it with you. At the same time, it is also the unique appearance of the writer involved. These editing books, in general, can be regarded as a kind of "Boya" or "general" education related to self -study. Pay attention to the readability of the article, pay attention to the integrity of reading, and not be limited to a special discipline. Try to show the words of the professionals of the professionals in the reading of books, and there is a door that can make people who like to read.

Cover news: In "Reading · Reader · Reading -Kim Kemu Chronicles", you can see the education he received at home at home, especially his elder brother taught him a set of reading methods very special and could not be copied. What feelings when editing these contents?

Huang Dehai: The set of reading methods that Brother Kim Kimu said. If we look closely, we should have a common understanding of the old learning home, step by step, and take care of people's temperament and practicality. Regarding new studies, because his elder brother went out very early and saw too many changes in the era, he was a little more ahead of the times at that time. We watched it, and we would probably be envious of such traditional education, lamenting that his old studies were poor, and he couldn't keep up. But what we may ignore is that the education of this so -called book incense house is not a useless reading that is useless, but has its special practicality. After graduating from elementary school, Kim Kimu was trained for two years from his private school, and he realized the practicality of traditional so -called reading. May wish to say in his own words: "In the past, Chinese scholars were called scholars. Booking books as a living, that is, to eat by text. This line can be promoted to make a fortune, but most of them are sorrowful or relying on bureaucrats and rich people to eat ... … According to what I know, the old tradition is how children who trained into this line can rely on Chinese characters, poetry, and books to eat, as apprentices of the store to pay for dinner. The stepfather. Just want to change the career, and other lines are not willing to accept it. Similarly, it is not easy to enter this line. "

Cover news: We often see many people using mobile phones to swipe short videos or watch online novels on the subway. Perhaps online novels can provide entertainment functions.

Huang Dehai: This problem is not what we judge. More importantly, observation, what to observe online literature and short videos, why is it so attractive. This may be more important than agreed or opposed. Every possible popularity actually provides us with the opportunity to cognitive world, and is not in a hurry to agree or oppose. If you want to oppose a certain popularity, find the deep roots behind it, and then clean up the source. Simply opposing or uncomfortable is equivalent to corresponding childish thinking with naive thinking. Except for both parties to pull each other, it will not have any effect. For example, we say that online novels provide entertainment function, is that American drama? Is the anime? Is the movie? You know, less than a hundred years ago, the movie was considered so. Less than 300 years ago, the novel was considered so. Earlier Homer's epic, did it also think so? Therefore, popularity is not the standard for judging good or bad, what is important is what these works provide. Of course, if there are minors or some adults, some types of things that are indulged in (in the sense of indulgence) are always worrying. But having said that, what kind of dismissal thing, don't worry about it? We should all remember that when Lin Daiyu read the "West Chamber", Xue Baozhen persuaded him repeatedly, right?

Cover news: Your literary reviews are praised. But I have to say that the comments are always considered a subsidiary of the work. What do you think?

Huang Dehai: In literary review writing, I am actually a learner, and occasionally praise, it is everyone's encouragement to me. In literary review writing, a large misunderstanding is always the affiliated to literary works. In fact, literary reviews are a separate behavior, and it has its own operating logic. I have said a few years ago that literary reviews are related to literary works, but they should return to our current now, grow together with criticism objects, and obtain specific feelings on the basis of in -depth and meticulous reading of specific works, respond to specific phenomena, respond to specific phenomena , Draw a specific conclusion. Although this generation is related to the specific literary works, the roots are the writers who reserve with their own knowledge and experience reserves during reading. They have found surprises and effectively convey this surprise in a different way. This finds that it is not easy to depend on reading works. Good literary criticism should be a collaborative journey towards unknown exploration, looking for the secret world that the author seems to be aware of but not fully realized. Together with the author, they figured out a strange field, so as to illuminate a place in society or a certain place in the hearts of people -the new world is slowly unfolding.

Cover news: In terms of writing good literary reviews, what kind of literacy do you think of commentators?

Huang Dehai: Like any of any text, commentators need to have in -depth understanding of the world and themselves, to understand the classics, and need to be keen to the development of the times. Speaking a lot, but it is very difficult to do each one.

Cover news: In today's world with changes very fast and uncertainty, do you think the meaning and function of literature exist is even more prominent?

Huang Dehai: The function of literature, I personally feel that it is always limited. Even in the era of reading, can literature be rejected more? The four traditional studies, after the historical collection, belongs to the scope of literary scope, is steadily arranged at the end. We read the guidance of his brother Kim Kemu's reading, the share of literature has a small share, and has various precautions for reading literature. In some periods, literary writers were noticed at the same level, and it was not a good thing. From this direction, literature is actually gratifying in a position that suits you.

Cover news: Readers need to pay serious literature that focuses on the cost of willpower. When the short video and online novel competition readers that can be obtained, they are actually at a disadvantage. What do you think of this phenomenon? Huang Dehai: Speaking of the serious literature that we repeatedly emphasize, there are some works that really need to pay attention and willpower to read, but it is not possible to ask, do you deliberately create a disabilities? I dare not conclude, but if I emphasize too seriously, I actually have skepticism. For example, can you ask if you can't let more people appreciate, is it because of our writing skills?

How many examples- "Three Body" is a popular work? Is Jin Yong a popular work? "Dream of Red Mansions" and "Water Margin" was a popular work? "Everyone in the well, that is, can sing the willow," Liu Yong's words must be popular works? Isn't the story of "Flag Pavilion Painting Wall"? These issues are difficult to have simple conclusions. For me personally, I also read short videos, and I also read a few thousand -character online novels. Some online works may have far exceeded the so -called serious literature, just because our reading method has changed. Follow it, so it is difficult to identify. These are really difficult to conclude. Or, when you find that what you write is at a disadvantage, first see if you are limited by some concepts or prejudice (in a sense, the ideal of not strict inspection is also prejudiced), instead of rushing to find popularity to find popularity Is the problem of the work a better choice?

"Literature is not as attention as in the past, in my opinion, ginseng half"

Cover news: In recent years, there are fewer types of literary writers like Han Han Guo Jingming, and young people who write novels seem to have returned to serious literature. Young authors such as Lin Yan, Zheng Zaihuan, Wei Sixiao, and Zhou Kai have their own characteristics. As a professional literary commentator, what do you think of this phenomenon?

Huang Dehai: Literature is not as attention as in the past, in my opinion, it seems good or bad. A good aspect is to exclude a group of people who try to quickly gain reputation or wealth by literature. At least literature is no longer a famous shortcut, right? In bad aspects, many people who have imagined talents have invested in other areas that can attract more attention, and the field of literature will inevitably be a little neglected. In this sense, the so -called young people's return to serious literature should just appear in the scope of our attention, and some outstanding young people have appeared. From a larger range, it is difficult to say. I have paid attention to a few young authors you mentioned. Their works have their own characteristics, and they may even become irreplaceable writers. But any prediction at the beginning is too early, just write it down, including myself, really write a great work, and it is not too late to talk about it.
