Chess King PPT, part 2: Wang Yisheng’s “eating”

The work focuses on Wang Yisheng's attitude towards "eating"

Another main line of "The King of Chess" is the issue of "eating". In an era of extreme poverty, "eating" has a special meaning. At the beginning of the novel, Wang Yisheng eats in the train: "He is pious about eating, and he is very meticulous. Sometimes you will pity the rice that he eats until there is no scrap left. It is really a bit cruel and inhumane." Wang Yisheng's values ​​​​are very simple: "Being full every time is a blessing." Only when you are full can you think about "greedy". Fullness is the basic condition of survival, and "greedy" is human desire. He writes about educated youths trying their best to get rid of a snake. The part about getting delicious food is the ultimate form of "greedy". The novel concludes by saying: "Food and clothing are fundamental, and human beings are busy with this every day." But being trapped in it, he finally didn’t look like a human being. "That is the "philosophy of eating" in an extraordinary period of history, which is thought-provoking.

"Eating" is actually a very secular thing, embodying a Confucian thought: joining the world. Even if Wang Yisheng is obsessed with playing chess, he still has to fill his stomach first. This embodies the proposition that "the body comes before the mind". People must survive first before they can have spiritual pursuits. Moreover, Wang Yisheng’s persistence and vitality when playing chess are also a manifestation of the Confucian enterprising spirit.

Chess King PPT, the third part: Wang Yisheng’s “chess”

The work also writes about Wang Yisheng's "chess". Chess is actually a spiritual pursuit that embodies the Taoist spirit - indifference, detachment, and tranquility.

In the third chapter of the novel, Jiao Dan uses his family's ancestral ebony chess as a gift to the district secretary of culture and education in exchange for his transfer to a clean district's culture and education department and Wang Yisheng's right to participate. In Wang Yisheng's view, this is a sign of being If he made a deal, "someone would poke his spine", so he solemnly declared: "I won't compete anyway."

What kind of personality does this show about Wang Yisheng?

This reflects his self-esteem. He has his own code of conduct, and even if he is called a "idiot", he will not violate this code. Even for such a top priority as a chess match, he will not sacrifice his dignity to participate in the competition. His strict conduct puts many of us today to shame.

Chess King PPT, part 4: artistic characteristics of the novel

(1) Unique angle and profound theme.

There are many "educated youth" novels. Most of them describe the harsh reality in rural areas that tests the naive urban educated youth. They may make moans and even tears of blood from the weak, lament the backward poverty in rural areas, or describe hope in despair and darkness. Light may praise the earth and the people, worry about the country and the people, or it may be attributed to the fact that this kind of test is beneficial. In these novels, the incident of urban youth going to the mountains and countryside is the absolute protagonist, and it is the fate, entanglement, and fate of all characters. The dominant force of joys and sorrows.

But "The King of Chess" is different. The "chess nerd" King's life experience, personality, and chess playing story are the real subjects, and the incident of educated youth going to the mountains and countryside is the background. It can be said that this novel highlights the idea that people are their own masters and that people are not just gravel blown around by the strong winds of history, showing a new vitality.

(2) Distinctive personality.

Wang Yisheng is different. He was born in poverty and has a complete set of characters: he is pragmatic, self-denying, very unscrupulous in his life, and almost strict in his life (for example, he does not participate in regional chess competitions). He loves to play chess, is modest, eager to learn, frank, and resolute in chess ------ a strict character, showing a persistent life energy. The images of educated youth in literary works that we are accustomed to are either weak or strong, and most of them give people a feeling of being sensitive and sentimental. Most of them come from middle- and upper-class families, which is why they value going to the mountains and countryside so seriously, so horribly, or so grandly. In fact, the majority of children from peasant families, including those who have gone to school, do not and cannot see it this way.

(3) Certain symbolic meanings of "The King of Chess".

The main events of "The King of Chess" are not like the general "educated youth" novels: leaving home, entry point, labor issues, life issues, relationship with farmers, relationship with cadres, love, promotion, unhealthy tendencies... but the following. chess. But Wang Yisheng's chess playing is not only a skill, but also a way of chess and a cultural spirit. Especially the section where the author writes about Wang Yisheng’s fierce battle with nine people:

"Hands on the knees, a thin tree stump made of iron, it seems that nothing can be seen, it seems like nothing can be heard. ... The eyes are sunken deeply, as black as looking down at the vast world, the vast universe. The life seems to be gathered in a mess of hair It lingers for a long time, then slowly spreads, burning people's faces."

(4) Dilute the straightforward language style. ．

The language of this novel has a distinct personal style and strong national characteristics. The descriptions are simple and concise, and the characters are described. The language is simple, simple and rich, sometimes almost line drawing, which shows the author's unique grasp of the national language and profound language skills. . like:

"Wang Yisheng sat alone in the middle of the big room, staring at us, with his hands on his knees and a thin tree stump made of iron. He seemed to see nothing and heard nothing. ... His eyes were sunken deep, as if he were looking down. The vast world, the vast universe.”

This kind of description is quite cold and serious like Lu Xun. It does not exaggerate or highlight the characters, but expresses the protagonist's inner world with vivid pen: broad-minded and detached, persistent and firm. Wang Meng once commented on the characteristics of his language: "It is colloquial but not vulgar, classically beautiful but not pedantic, national but not too earthy, crisp and sharp but still detailed and precise, and meticulous in its depiction but as precious as gold."

Chess King PPT, Part 5: Summary:

The novel uses an extremely plain, almost primitive narrative method to tell the story of the life of the "chess-stupid" Wang. This story not only expresses a kind of living conditions and landscape in the past era, but also embodies in Wang Yisheng a kind of profound perseverance and willpower in human life, a traditional philosophy of life, and a kind of unique Eastern nation. cultural spirit.
