我从网上看到一条这样的信息:人们死于道路交通车祸的频率为1/5000,国外人类安全问题专家研究认为:世界上所有的死亡事故中,交通事故占37%。怪不得人们把交通事故称为“世界第一公害”。
想想日常生活,我们每天都要与公路、汽车见面,所以交通安全需要我们时刻注意。如果不遵守交通法规或存在侥幸心理,就容易造成交通安全事故。
5岁那年,我和爸爸走路去超市买东西。在横过马路时,我没有注意看车辆往来的情况,就跑向路的那一边。就在这时,一辆公共汽车飞驰而来,眼看就要撞到我了。在这千钧一发之际,爸爸果断地将我一把拉到路边,公共汽车好像擦着我的脸过去了。好险!后来,爸爸告诉我:“过马路不能跑,要看好两头,没有车辆再走。走的时候要先看左边,再看右边。”
这件事情已经过去很长时间了,但我还是忘不了它。有时,我禁不住想:汽车的出现,为人类社会的现代化做出了贡献,缩短了世界的距离。但是,汽车在承载着人们奔向幸福、美好未来的同时,又是一位极其凶狠的***手,飞速旋转的车辆碾碎了无数美好的生命、幸福的家庭。生命只有一次,安全重于泰山,请注意交通安全。
以我这个俗人的眼光看来,一本书的好坏除了内容详实,三观正确,给人以启发之外,更要有趣味性。如果少了趣味性,读起来就多少有些无聊。
能够在寓教于乐中给人以智慧,使人进步,那是所有人求之不得的事。于赓哲先生的《隋唐人的日常生活》满足了我上述的所有要求。
如果你是《百家讲坛》的忠实观众,应该对于赓哲先生不陌生。他对唐代历史文化的研究相当了得,往往三言两语之间,就能够准确概括某历史人物的生平功过,或某历史事件的来龙去脉。
本次出版的这本书,是他根据电视讲座内容整理编辑而来。通俗易懂,简单有趣,分门别类讲述隋唐人的各种生活习惯。配合着唐诗、传奇故事,引经据典说历史文化。对那段历史感兴趣的朋友一定不要错过。
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。
Dear Xiao Wang,
I’m very glad to learn that you’re going to visit me during the week-long holiday. My parents will also be happy to see you again. I am sure you will enjoy every minute here.
I have arranged our schedule for the holiday as follows. On the first day you arrive, I’ll show you around our campus. On the second day, we’ll visit the art gallery and the music hall. Next day, we’ll climb a hill in the northeastern part of the city. On the top of the hill, we can have a wonderful bird’s eye view of the city. During the next three days, we’ll make some short trips to some places of interest nearby, such as the Swan Cave, the Golden Lake, etc. On the last day, I’ll see you off at the railway station.
Please remember to call and tell me your train number and time of arrival so that I can meet you at the railway station. By the way, it’s very hot here and we have a lot of sunshine, so don’t forget to wear you sunglasses.
I’m looking forward to seeing you soon.
Sincerely yours,
Zhang Ying
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。
Dear Mercy,
How is everything going! Last time you said you are anxious now because you find it hard to learn English well. Don’t worry. I think you have to improve your English step by step. And I will right behind you. In my view, you should develop you interest on English first. According to my experience, I think watching English movie, listen to some wonderful English songs and talk in English on the Internet would be helpful. Secondly, you have to prepare lessons before class that will help you understand what the teacher says in the class. I know you feel bored in the class, but you have force yourself to be concentrated. A few days later you will feel it a little easy to learn English. The left steps I will tell next time. By the way, we have not seen each other since your family move to Hunan a year ago. Have you ever thought about going back to visit me and learn English together in the coming Summer vacation. Looking forward to your reply.
Best wishes,
Li
