This book is a collection of cultural essays by the famous historian Zhang Hongjie. The author personally sorted out all his works from the early days of writing and compiled them into one volume. These works revolve around the two clues of literature and history. Literature is like wine and history is like tea. They are both indispensable parts of the author's life. History is written through words and life is explored through history.
The first part of the book, "Masters", is the writers and historians who inspired the author to write, such as Lu Xun, Huang Renyu, etc. The writing style and way of thinking of these masters have influenced the author to this day. The second part, "My Literary Youth Career," records how the author transformed from a literary lover to a "professional writer." The third part, "Me and Historical Writing," explains how the author embarked on the path of professional historical research, and records the teachers who guided and guided him along the way, including Dai Yi, Ge Jianxiong, Qin Hui, etc.
Reader comments
Reading with ease and reading with questions will naturally lead to questions about the fixed thinking of historical learning acquired in the past, which requires re-cognition and new thinking. This should be the original flavor of public history.
Works that contain historical facts and, more importantly, historical knowledge are good historical works and can better serve the public. At this point, Zhang Hongjie's insights are difficult for experts in the ivory tower to achieve. At the same time, paying attention to the audience's reading pleasure must make experts step down from the altar of self-delusion, so that history and reality can be connected and play a role.
This book, like the author's life, is full of curiosity and spontaneity. The book introduces many people who had an influence on the author, and also tells about his own literary youth career and history writing path. From the book, you can feel the author's authenticity and love for life, as he said, "Curiosity about the world is the basic driving force of my life." I really like this authentic and casual style, recommend it to you!
Good article and style - unique and innovative.
Maybe you can find a master key to open all the locks, but some people want a real unique key.
The author's perspective of observation is very novel. After reading it, people have a new understanding of some people and things that have long been stereotyped, and it also makes those historical celebrities more flesh and blood.
