Literati of the cigarette

Long time ago, and cigarette smoke no to do this.

Said wen jie zi “explanation is to smoke: tobacco, the anger.Kangxi dictionary explanation is: to smoking cigarettes Yun heaven and earth.Yun that aggregates.Obviously, the interpretation of the smoke has two meanings: first is due to the fire and smoke, fire and the smoke, the smoke is thick dark fire;Secondly, between heaven and earth natural gas, that is, the fog.Write the smoke does not have, however, poetry is the literati, haze, phantasy, haze, etc;Write smoke also does not have human writers, such as: “YanShui gathers no neighbors, deep and remote habitats without the beautiful scenery. Depression is dogs maple’s woods, seems to be no Pacific people.”Lu you “those JiShi”.Such as zhou bangyan, again “at jiangnan” word yue: “swim prostitutes, circling back alone dike. Herbs bosom smoke fan curve, dark west miyun bit rain. Nine stranger not stained with mud. Under the plum, the Spring Festival gala from seikei. Not the wall to see flower pathfinding, liu Yin or a horse or a warbler crow. Nowhere not windy and rainy.”Is wonderful in the writers opinion, smoke, smoke is decorous, smoke is the most can’t see through.But with no edge, and cigarettes is eight pole is not thing to do.

Cigarettes should be import, it is very late in China, when about late 16th century.Since he came to China cigarette, becomes the people leisure boredom of fuck.Under the grass-roots, to dignitaries, almost nobody love, nobody don’t smoke, smoking addiction, a lifetime to enjoy.There are also people who want to quit it, think are unhealthy.”Smoke from the water, and from the womb to poetry.”When white stone old man YinChu this union, hence will funnel cigarette thrown into the water, it serves to show sincerity of quitting.Tended to not quit smoking, scholars, however, MAO zedong (MAO zedong literati, because Chen Jinzhu had the scholar MAO zedong, also someone once MAO zedong as the Chinese modern prose masters.)Is one of them.MAO zedong ever stopped smoking, but he didn’t quit, he said: “to give up smoking, we worked too hard, can’t afford not to smoke.”Therefore, died from the war to his old age, the smoke it has never been away from his hand.I thought, MAO zedong out puffs of smoke ring, should be to trigger his inspiration spring, many of his immortal poem is done between “smoking”.It is said that even the first romantic ages QinYuanChun · snow, is also temporary use cigarette paper write down in the snow, to have already spread up to now, this should be attributed to cigarette.

Poetic have poetry poet by the ghost said, “smoke” Lin does not know also has “saint” smoke “no smoke? But is there must be” smoker “, Lin yutang, who describes himself as “chimney”. He satisfiedly say: “a cigarette after a meal, flattering living immortal.And openly declared that his prose is composed of nicotine. Want to come when he, a professor at Peking University, also must be smoking a pipe, pipe smoke “hissing” straight take, on his lips but if lotus, how interesting! If a naughty student pipe steal him, really don’t know the humor master can also open? “jinghua cloud” can you write also unknown.

Junior high school time, read some of lu xun’s poetry, has also just remember “looking angrily condemned a, head bowed as a willing ox” this sentence.But at that time, a portrait of lu xun, the image in my mind deep: a twinkle in his eyes, and hands that smoking cigarettes also wind leisurely, I very worship of the great flagman.Afternoon classmates don’t know where to get a few cigarettes, we several students “shout” to round up, the intense smoke, smoke up happily learn to lu xun’s posture.I was miserable, the acrid smell of cigarettes is strongly, makes my nose and tears, the in the mind also very uncomfortable, vomiting and not, even swallow dinner back to home.Later, consult this kind of feeling, adults said this is called “drunk smoke”.I was feeling strange: the world only heard that drunk, drunk there is smoke right?Since then, never smoked.

One day, I suddenly have an “Epiphany”, originally I have no writing talent, was caused by not smoking!
