Chinese literature
As a Chinese, I feel proud because of Chinese literature.
Chinese literature has a very long history. It concludes many aspects, such as poems and novels. In Chinese literature history, poems are vital because they can represent our culture to some degree. Chinese poem was at its peak in Tang dynasty. There were about 50,000 poems written by about two thousand and two hundred poets. I like Chinese poems because they have strong metrical sense and rich connocation. In addition, most of those poems can show us some scenes and take us to some certain period of time. Through poems, we can learn about the feeling of the poets and get more information of the life in history. Futhermore, there are some poems which are very interesting. For instance, once there was a famous poem written by different Chinese characters which have the same pronunciation.
About Chinese novels, I want to talk about a special novel in Chinese literature called "Kung fu novels". It is very popular among both young and old generations. The first Kung fu novel in Chinese history is written in Tang dynasty. Nowaday, Jin yong, Gu long and some other writers are all the representatives of the Kung fu novels. A lot of their novels have been adapted into TV plays. I am just one of the people who grow up reading their Kung fu novels.
Chinese literature is great and profound. It is the fruit of Chinese five thousand history. Different people can have different opinions of Chinese literature because even the literature itself has many aspects and it can lead you to different directions when you are in different moods. However, none of us can totally understand the essence of Chinese literature. Only study it by heart, can we obtain more about it.
Chinese literature takes a big part of the literature in the whole world. I like Chinese literature and I am proud of it.
Chinese literature is the treasure from our ancestor, however, I do not think we attach great importance to it nowadays. We spend a lot of time writing and reading what we called net-novels, and I think these novels cannot represent Chinese literature well. Thus I think it is our burden to spread traditional Chinese literature and let it pass down from generation to generation.
ReplyDeleteI am proud of our culture, too. I think culture is part of who we are since we were born. In some aspects, culture reflects our individual identity. However,not everythong of the culture is essence. When facing the dross part, we should reject it.Even though culture is the heritage we received from our ancestors, we still should choose it smartly.
ReplyDeletei believe the culture is the root of us, and it is a way to help us to know who we are.
