凡看过这本书的朋友,一定会被书中落地的文字风格所打动。没有那么多生僻的字眼,更不见那些束之高阁的圣人文章,就是一个个鲜活的人,和一幕幕如同我们今天生活一样的日常琐事。
书中的人有皇帝,有将军,有后宫嫔妃,更多的是普通百姓。第一章就带着我们跟随一个唐代百姓早起,遛弯,穿过长长的大街,绕过一座座坊,去东西两市购物。
他穿什么,戴什么,住什么房子,使用什么交通工具,花钱多少,有何目的,都事无巨细的交代。仿佛这位“导游”不是唐人,而是邻居胡大爷,赵伯伯。当然,也可以是隔壁老王。
除了我们最关心的衣食住行外,隋唐人的婚姻与家庭,礼仪与规范,宗教与娱乐等也分门别类详细阐述。在轻松的文字之下,我们仿佛置身于历史画卷当中,看着那一个个人物来了又走,嬉笑怒骂。他们不是背景板上的死魂灵,更不是金銮殿下磕头如捣蒜的路人甲乙丙丁,而是有血有肉的我们的先祖。
Everyone may encounter a scene when he or she wonders what the meaning and purpose of life is. Answers to this question vary from person to person. As for me, I agree with the view that the meaning of life is to discover your gift and the purpose of life is to make the best of it.
On one hand, one's gift could be the source of his inner happiness, providing spiritual impetus and correct orientation. Take the world-renowned Chinese pianist Lang Lang as an example. His gift was noticed before he was 3 years old, which laid the foundation of his glorious life. On the other hand, proper use of talent helps people to realize their value in a positive way, thus making contribution to the society as a whole. For instance, Isaac Newton made a universally amazing discovery by digging into his gift and finding the Newton's law of gravitation.
In conclusion, let's search for our true gift and utilize it to the fullest to achieve a happy and valuable life.
阅读本书的另一个好处,是能够解决很多长久困扰我们的谜团。比方说为什么今天的我们买东西要说买“东西”,而不是买“南北”?再比方说当年我们读《卖炭翁》,为什么“牛困人饥日已高”,偏偏不进门吃饭,而是在“市南门外泥中歇”?还比方说李白《静夜思》的床,究竟是胡床还是唐代以后的卧床?
也只有了解到唐代长安城格局,我们才会发现《舌尖上的中国3》中所说,回坊最早建立于唐代的说法有多么不可信。
书中以小见大,把彼时的许多细节拆开来讲,让我们认识到历史车轮不断向前之下,那些被忽略的知识,甚至改变的常识。也只有重新梳理对尘封往事的认知,才有机会更好的理解过去,理解隋唐,理解大唐气息下的点点滴滴。
书中引用了王梵志等人的诗作,借故事来反推当时人的想法。比方说新嫁娘3日之后调试羹汤要先让小姑子尝尝,别让婆婆不开心,比方说买药去哪里,如何配,如何利用宗教迷信麻醉并靠神佛保佑等等。从中我们不难发现历史局限之下,普通民众对美好生活的向往。
