词虽不出情景二字然二字亦分主客情为主景是客说景即是说情,有全篇不露秋毫情意,而实句句是情,字字关情者,非借物遣怀,即以物喻人。宋词如李世英“一寸相思千万绪,人间没个安排处”,情语也;梅尧臣“落尽梨花春又了,满地残阳,翠色和烟老”,景语也;姜尧章“旧时月色,算几番照我,梅边吹笛”,景寄于情也;寇平仲“倚楼无语欲销魂,长空黯淡连芳草”,情系于景也。词之为道,其大旨固不出此。

自省的力量,首先在于可以“”。古人云“以责人之心责己,则寡过”“日省其身,有则改之,无则加勉”,极言自省是修身养性、提升境界的重要方法。《世说新语》載,周处年少时凶强侠气,为乡里所患,与蛟、虎并称为“三害”。周处射虎杀蛟三日不见,乡人以为周处死了互相庆贺,周处回来后听到乡邻相庆,才知被乡邻憎恶,乃“有自改意”,由此弃恶从善,“有文思,志存义烈,言必忠信克己”。今天,我们讲自省,对思想、工作、生活点滴及细节予以检视,客观地看待自我,清醒地查找不足,其意义并非止于忏悔,而在于超越自我,促进自我认知、自我完善,不断唤醒善意良知,不断升华人格。
钱学森经历了重重的艰难险阻后,终于回到了祖国。回国后他受到了最高规格的待遇,主席经常和他在一起,讨论国家以后的发展。主席曾经问过钱学森,为什么要执意回国,美国的待遇这么好,回来后悔吗?钱学森异常认真地说:“苟利国家,不求富贵。”八个字掷地有声,听者无不为其鼓掌。2018年 10月11日下午,在边境扫雷行动中,面对复杂雷场中的不明爆炸物,杜富国对战友大喊:“你退后, 让我来!”在进一步查明情况时突遇爆炸,他英勇负伤,失去双手和双眼,同组战友安然无恙。“我只是做了一个军人应该做的选择。”这个阳光帅气的小伙,对雷场救下战友这个选择,从未后悔过。
我母亲非常讨厌比较动物学和颅骨测量,她在小客厅里打发日子。我在地毯上,在她脚下同一头绵羊玩。这头羊过去有四只脚,现在只剩下三只。因此它不配同我父亲收集的畸胎两头兔并列在一起。我也有个摆动臂膀的、有油漆味儿的鸡胸驼背木偶。那时候,我准会有很多很多的幻想,因为这个鸡胸驼背木偶和这头绵羊使我想起千百出奇怪的戏中的各种各样的人物。当绵羊和木偶发生了什么很有趣的事的时候,我就去告诉母亲,但总是白费力气。应该说,大人永远也听不懂小孩子在解释什么。母亲心不在焉,我说话她不大注意听,这是她的一大缺点。但是,她习惯于睁大眼睛看着我,叫我“小傻瓜”,这就缓和了我们之间的关系。
中国人生活上的最长处,在能运用一切艺术到日常生活中来,使“生活艺术化”,便也是一种心生活。纵使吃饭喝茶,最普通最平常的日常人生,中国人也懂讲究。所谓讲究,不是在求吃得好、喝得好,不是在求饭好、菜好、茶好、酒好,而更要是在一饮一食中有一个“礼”。中国古人讲的礼,其中寓有极深的艺术情味,惜乎后来人不能再此方面作更深的研求与发挥。即在饮膳所用的器皿上,如古铜、古陶、古瓷,其式样、其色泽、其花纹雕镂乃至其他一切,皆是一种极深的艺术表现。直到今天,此等器物几乎为全世界人类所宝爱。然而其中却寓有一套中国传统的文化精神,寓有中国人心的一种极高造诣,这些都超出于技术艺能之上。别人虽知宝爱,却不能仿造。科学上所发明的机器,作用大,但可仿造,而且一学便会。
故乡的风之所以气势恢宏,是其中的沙尘充当了风的武器。那时的风与沙尘,像是从未分开过。风力助推沙尘漫天席卷,掀翻了街口摆着糖果的摊板,刮跑了老爷爷头上的帽子。偶尔看见骑自行车的人,在风里歪扭一阵之后,不得不屈尊下驾,吃力地推车前行。有时在教室里正聚精会神地听讲,风猛然用力,让玻璃飞出窗框,在书桌上和地上“哗”地破碎。我和同伴们对风的防御,最早使用的是风镜。顾名思义,风镜就是防风的眼镜。玻璃镜片镶在细细的钢丝框上,四周有密织的布罩,两端用皮筋连接,套在头上拉至眼部,风便吹不着眼睛了。每副风镜五分钱,后来有了塑料的镜片,价格要高出很多。戴风镜并不完全是为了防风,重点是防风里的沙子。
农谚有“小满小满,麦粒渐满”的说法。此时,小麦度过一冬的休眠期后,经过返青拔节,抽穗开花,亟须熏风暖熟,虽然仍是一片青绿,但有着一股蓄势待发的劲头。麦穗已经抽齐,麦粒鼓着腮帮一般,泛出一层透明的绿色。等到这晶莹的嫩绿变为黄绿,麦子也即将成热了。农谚又云“小满未满,还有危险”。小麦成长的最后阶段灌浆期十分关键,籽粒才刚刚盈实,若碰到灾难天气或病虫害,麦粒未经过充分的乳熟期,小麦的品质便会大打折扣。
那位教师立刻用这束树枝朝她颈背上狠狠抽打了十几下。彭斯的眼里没有涌出一滴眼泪。我目睹着这一场面,不由得升起了一股徒劳无益的怒火,气得双手直发抖,只得停下手中的活儿,可是她那张若有所思的脸上,却神色如常,没有一点变化。“倔脾气的姑娘!”斯凯契德小姐嚷道,“你那邋遢习惯怎么也改不了啦。把扫帚拿走!”彭斯遵命照办了。当她从藏书室里出来时,我仔细朝她打量着。她正把自己的手绢放回口袋,瘦削的脸颊上还有一丝泪痕在闪闪发光。
