遗弃在尘土里的货币——《山南水北》的价值发现

Coins Abandoned in the Dust——the Finding of the Value in The South of the Mountain and the North of the Water

散发着湿润田园气息的《山南水北》,堪称一部发现之作。在人们纷纷逃离的乡村生活中,作者发现了大自然蕴藏的优美、神秘的灵性,及其对人类感官心灵的去蔽作用和疗救意义;在人们普遍以消费为乐,以奢侈为高贵的时代,作者发现了简单劳动与农业文明的诗情画意,及其被城市生活和工业文明粗暴摈弃的美好内涵,并对几百年来一路凯歌的人道主义的偏狭提出了质疑。

We are living in a time which is short of value. Too much deconstruction and disenchantment make the world desolated, and people＇s spirit becomes empty. However, ＂The South of the Mountain and the North of the Water＂, giving off the flavor of countryside, is a master piece of discovery. In the rural life which was deserted by people, the author found the natural beauty, mysterious intelligence, and their functions of shedding and healing people＇ s sensory organs and spirit. In this time, people take consumption as their pleasure, and extravagance as nobleness, while the author found the idyllic life in the simple labor and agricultural civilization and the beautiful meaning wildly abandoned by urban life and industrial civilization, and questioned the insularity of the humanitarianism which had been upheld in the past centuries.
