中国的文艺评论一向不太正常，第一，作为被评论者，对＂公平评价＂的期望过高，这是作者群的自身素养问题；第二，对于评论者来说，是作为附庸还是权威，这个定位一直没有解决，如果评论人不能处于一种独立、超然的地位，真正意义上的文艺评论也就不会出现；第三，由于商业社会带来的炒作风气，使文艺评论更处于两难境地。如果不是古体诗词已经被摈于主流文艺之外(这是很可悲的)，恐怕笔者也没有机会在此平心静气地写下这篇文字。

引起我注意老流氓的起因，是缘于他的一篇译作：蒲白的<<隐居赞>>，这篇英文诗也是我所喜欢的。诗译得不错，用五古体，最突出之处，是在千百篇花里胡哨的网诗间显得那样平白，平白得叫人看不懂，而现在品得动五古的人确实也少。由此，我觉得这个人的品味不错，不是光看着字面读诗的人。后来事实证明，我的眼光还是有的。

叫我看走眼了的是老流氓的年龄，这里有一首叫<<次韵答静闲子>>的七律：

意气初回朔漠外，片帆还寄大江东；神州风景时时异，禹甸笙歌处处同；恨倘能消全仗酒，言无可立况于功；兴亡莫说前朝事，独立残阳怅晚风。

首联起得雄健幽远；颌联句式看来非常工稳，其实是很险的，如果一首七律在颌联就对应得这么稳，整篇很容易死板，关键在句尾的＂异＂和＂同＂这两字字意相反，反而与其内容扣得贴切，嘲讽之意尽出；如果说颌联表达了作者的满肚子不合时宜，那么到了颈联，所有的苍凉、沉痛，则全在这句法非常顿挫的十四字间表达得淋漓尽致！难怪当我后来知道老流氓的真实年龄时，是多么的惊讶！那应该是一个中年人的感受呢！

善于思、乐于思，在另一首七律中也体现得极好，最佳者尾联：

<<沉思>>

百千思绪结蛛丝，独坐沈吟不自持。寂寂中宵疑我在，冥冥万物付谁知。故园望断徒惆怅，荒漠栖馀只惘迷。天地无言花自落，冰轮终古出江湄。【星火作文网 www.easyzw.com】

老流氓自称不善写词，而据我仅见过的两首，其实是不错的，比现在网上许多志得意满之辈强。既然作者没有把填过的词选进这个集子，必定有他的理由。在广泛吸收的前提下，把脑力集中使用在一个专门领域内，是明智的。诗词俱能、诸体皆备，是当今网上评定才子的一条基本标准，如果这条标准真正成立，落选了也不必难过，因为大部分古代一流诗家都是要陪着落选的，莫非时代真进步到了诗词已经超越前人的地步？

老流氓的七绝见得不多，这集子里的三首有两首很好：

一、<<李商隐>>

襟抱平生知未开，独从蜡泪认寒灰；可怜香草美人意，却作章台走马猜。

这令人想起黄庭坚的两句：＂安知忠臣痛至骨，世上但赏琼琚词＂(书磨崖碑后)，以李义山，如果仅仅是朦胧浪漫的情诗，断不会高于柳三变，而今人对诗的理解，又有多少高明过一方花手绢的？

题《蜻蜓小憩图》

不向美人头上立，偏从湖海浪中浮；点破碧波三万顷，老荷尖上暂悠悠。

相当潇洒的自许小品，这在老流氓那种沉郁顿挫的诗风中，很少见，可能是作者性格的另一方面不经意的流露罢。

另外一首<<马诗>>，虽然立意不错，但意浅词陋，不应该是老流氓应有的水平。

来看看另外的三首五言：

<<苏东坡与青城山研讨会即兴>>

好鸟鸣深树，幽居集众贤；豁眸惊挺拔，洗耳爱潺湲；浊酒欣同饮，清诗喜共研；他年息尘事，来卧白云边；

<<海>>

出没金乌所，风涛自古今；乘桴思隐士，衔石想冤禽；涨落三山动，乾坤四极沉；木华有佳赋，犹作大潮音。

<<芳草>>

茸茸接空碧，寂寂动人愁；万古青如此，三生梦未休；芳馨寄前哲，摧折任时流；更有岁时荐，清高孰与俦。

“涨落三山动，乾坤四极沉”夺魄之句，而“万古青如此，三生梦未休”更见丰神。

以我来猜，老流氓的师乘有两处主要脉络：一是杜甫，二是古诗十九到建安一路。立意高古、绵里藏针，明显与宋后的风气有别。而以景象宏远、绝少盘空硬语的语态来看，如果老流氓能在难度更大的五言上多下工夫(这种体裁好象更适合他)，假以时日，必有大成。

古典诗词的语态掌握得已有相当火候。

老流氓在格律方面懂得比许多人多得多，但他这方面的优势我不愿意多说，他的才能也不应该止于一个格律专家的。

感觉上老流氓似乎还有更好的东西没有选进来。

我并不相信有先进的文学体裁，任何文学体裁之所以会走向衰微，是因为这种体裁不再有反映时代风貌的作品出现，所以也自然失去了代表时代的资格。艺术的存在价值，在于它是一个时代的镜像，而不是一个镜架子。而今天如何使旧体诗词重返主流文化，首先要面对活生生的社会而不是一具具古尸，这是无可避免的。但今人写旧体，比前人更难，旧文化已经跟我们隔了一道一百年的濠堑，要掌握和运用旧学，似乎还是＂卜卜斋＂(私塾)那种训练方式比现在的大学文科有效得多。

今人写旧体，首先基本格律必须精严，这应该有一个共识，否则这种体裁没有存在的前提。在这个前提下，有两种方法，一是直接以时语入诗，象聂绀穹先生那样；二是旧瓶装新酒，以古语状今时风物，这也不失为一个权宜之计，在保留古语态的美感和反映时代二者间作出妥协，这后一种似乎更容易为大家接受。而要负起这个责任者，有两样是不能或缺的：第一：追古之心，跨过宋后那一丛丛病梅，向汉唐气派看齐；第二，观今之目，摆脱古中国农业社会的审美氛围，感受时代特征。这种人在气格、修养、感受力都达到一定高度才行。这一方面，以发展的眼光看，除老流氓实在不作第二人想，因为他有这个潜质，如果不是以那种选网上才子的可笑标准来衡量，他实在比许多人全面和扎实得多了，虽然他现在还未曾定型，也幸亏还未曾定型。

在学问上、心态上，老流氓有早熟的一面。但毕竟是少年人，往往压不下负才使气的天性。看上一年间选入的诗，大部分是聊天室的唱和之作，当然这样练练笔交流一下也不错，但毕竟真正的好诗，是独立洪荒、交感苍穹时唱出的心音，就这个诗集看，也尚未有惊人的篇章。如果长久这样玩下去，那真是可惜加可惜了。

天将降大任于斯人也。。。。。。这样一篇读后感会不会使人心头太沉重？

i believe that one of the factors that makes a piece of literature or even a movie a masterpiece is how well the reader can relate to the story. this is definitely a book everyone can relate to.

the adventures of tom sawyer is a literary masterpieces, written in 1876 by the famous author mark twain. tom sawyer is a mischievous young boy who lives in the small town on the mississippi river called st. petersburg. the story line is simple, the book reads like a biography or a memoir of a summer in tom sawyer's life.

tom sawyer seems to be the precursor of and the template for misfit kids such as dennis the menace, malcolm in the middle, and calvin and hobbs. what makes this story great is that tom sawyer represents everything that is great about childhood. the book is filled with tom's adventures playing pirates and war with his friend joe harper. tom has a trusted friend, huck finn, who few of the adults approve of. the book is filled with ideas of how the world works, such as how pirates and robbers work, that are so innocent, they could only come from a child. it is a story filled with action, adventure, ingenious ideas, love, and schoolyard politics. the whole story is seemingly a complication of what people did or wish they did during their childhood.

the book is a little difficult to read at first. personally, it takes me a little while to get used to the 19th century dialect in the book. other than referring to persons of african decent in derogatory terms (which i'm sure uses terms even young children already know), the book would be an enjoyable read for people of all ages. i highly recommend this book for anyone looking to feel young again, if just for a few hundred pages.

 
the old man and the sea is one of hemingway's most enduring works and may very well become one of the true classics of this generation. it played a great part in his winning the pulizer prize in 1953 and the 1954 novel prize for literature and confirmed his power and presence in the literary world. hemingway is also one of my favorite writers. besides the old man and the sea, i have read some of his other works, such as the sun also rises, a farewell to arms and the snow of kilimanijaro. but the old man and the sea is the one that left the deepest impression on me.

i first read this book when i was in my fifteens. and now i remember it just as well as if i had read it yesterday.

pride and prejudice is a chefdoeuvre.

my first impression of this story was from screen.

it's long long ago, maybe before i can read english books. i don't remember which movie edition i had seen. but i was impressed by the music, the scenery and the costume. i was very favor of a section of music in its balls. it's pretty brisk, liked a wonderful song of a bird. regarding to the characters, i liked elizabeth, the heroine,though i didn't think she's beautiful. but she's smart. however, i didn't pay much attention to the plot. i thought it's so long that it made me impatient and bored. by now, i haven't read the whole story in english or its chinese version, either. i owe it to my prejudice.
in fact, i didn't understand the story at that time. i didn't know why it called pride and prejudice. of course someone was pride, but i didn't find where' s the prejudice. i thought it's normal, the way people treated each other in that. i considered prejudice would be very disgusting. but to the movie everthing was ok in my minds, except its length. now, i think i have understood more about it. i'm a prejudiced person so i can't find where's wrong. i merely like to do the things i like. everytime i meet somebody or something,my thinking about he or it all depends on my foregone experience and my mood of the time.

a tale of two cities is one of dickens's most important representative works.the novel profoundly exposed the society contradiction before the french revolution,intensely attacks the aristocratic social class is dissolute and cruel,and sincerely sympathizes with the depressed classes.the novel also described many magnificent scenes like the revolt people attacked bastille and so on,which displayed people's great strength.

the novel has portrayed many different people. doctor manette is honest and kind but suffers the persecution actually ， lucie is beautiful and gentle ，charles is graceful and noble，lorry is upright and honest ，sydney is semblance of indifferent, innermost feelings of warm,unconventional but also selfless and lofty，miss pross is straightforward and loyal，evremonde brothers are cruel and sinister......the complex hatred is hard to solve, the cruel revenge has made more hatreds, loves rebirth in the hell edge,but take the life as the price.

as an outstanding writer,in dickens's work,the language skill is essential.each kind of rhetoric technique,like the analogy,the exaggeration,the contrast,the humorous,and the taunt are handled skillfully,and the artistry of the work is also delivered the peak.a tale of two cities has its difference with the general historical novel, its character and the main plot are all fictionalizes.with the broad real background of the french revolution,the author take the fictional character doctor manette's experience as the main clue,interweaves the unjust charge, love and revenge three independences but also incident cross-correlation stories together,the plot is criss-crossed,and the clue is complex.the author use insert narrates,foreshadowing,upholstery and so many techniques,causes the structure integrity and strictness,the plot winding anxious and rich of theatrical nature,it displayed the remarkable artistic skill.the style a tale of two cities is solemnity and melancholy,fills indignantion,but lacks the humor of the early works.
