Write a comment about Yu Qiuyu s Taoist Pagoda and his mood 5

The Taoist Pagoda is selected from Yu Qiuyu's essay collection "Cultural Journey".

Cultural Journey is Yu Qiuyu's first collection of essays, and the collected works mainly include two parts, one is historical and cultural essays, scattered discussions, and cultural exploration; The other part is the reminiscence essay. "Cultural Journey" is a collection of essays written by the famous contemporary writer Yu Qiuyu, first published in 1992, is the author's first collection of cultural essays.

The work is mainly divided into four parts: the beginning of a dream, a journey to China, a journey to the world, and a journey of life, the text is full of cultural charm, the text is clean and concise, smooth and beautiful, and at the same time reflects the love and understanding of Chinese cultural emotions, which is very touching. Mountains and rivers, desert wastelands, everywhere left the author's footprints, but also left the author's thinking, word by word, everywhere sincere, full of charm.

Background:

I wrote this book first because I was inspired by an old American professor who was young and childlike. Although he was old, the professor traveled riskily to many ethnic minority areas in southwest China, which gave the author a vision to re-understand the land of the motherland and to think about and pursue Chinese culture.

Secondly, it should be a kind of consolation for the author to himself and to society. The author aspires to liberate his mind and contribute to Chinese culture during his travels. Therefore, Yu Qiuyu resolutely resigned from his official position and walked out of the study in the year of confusion and began a cultural journey.

Yu Qiuyu's description of the Taoist priest Wang in the article "Taoist Tower" is very imprudent. "Painting murals" and "smashing sculptures", the two important plots that support the whole article, have a great lethality to the personality of Wang Daoist, and successfully arouse the hatred and contempt of many readers for Wang Daoist, and all this is completely imaginary! It is difficult to believe that the fabrication of these vivid "incriminating evidence" is a misheard hearsay rather than a deliberate fabrication - Mr. Yu could have avoided such a low-level and fatal mistake by simply checking the historical data with a single gesture.

Mr. Yu was so rash that he poured all the sewage on him because of the historical stain of stealing and selling the scriptures (whether the consequences of selling them would be harmful or beneficial to the scriptures was another matter), and he was really suspected of falling into the well. Of course, the poor Taoist priest could not have made any rebuttal to this; Moreover, as a lonely low-level figure, his clansmen or descendants will not and dare not refute a high-status cultural master like Yu Qiuyu. The hegemony of discourse is in the hands of the strong, and the weak are always the "silent majority".

The full text of "Taoist Tower" is divided into four parts. The author blends narrative, argumentation, and lyricism to show an inevitable tragedy brought about by the ignorance and backwardness of modern China.

The first part introduces the sinner Wang Yuanqi of the Dunhuang Grottoes, and recounts the fact that foreign adventurers frantically plundered cultural relics.

The second part: point out one of the reasons for the destruction and theft of Dunhuang cultural relics: ignorance.

Part 3: Propose the more fundamental reasons for the massive loss of national treasures: the backwardness and corruption of old China.

Between the lines, the author's grief and helplessness are revealed everywhere. Tell people: We must face up to the catastrophe and tragedy in the history of modern Chinese culture, and only by facing history squarely can we reflect.

Part IV: Writing about the end of this tragedy.

The loss of a large number of Dunhuang cultural relics is not only a humiliation for the nation, but also brings great difficulties to experts in studying Chinese civilization. Fortunately, a new page has been turned in history, and it is gratifying that the glory of Dunhuang is still in China, and Dunhuang studies are still in China.
