I don't want to be a "star writer." But often when reporters interview me, they will ask about my daily life, such as living habits, writing habits, hobbies, and so on. People who really love literature should not care about the trivialities of a writer's life. Writers are not entertainment stars.
My day started on the flush toilet. It was "insulting to Sven", but it was the most relaxing moment of my day, and I enjoyed it. The bathroom is warm and bright, and the cushions are soft and comfortable. It's also my easy reading time. In the bags hanging on the walls, there are always a few books that you can read at will no matter which page you turn. Sometimes I also brew a new cup of tea to bring in. Tea on the toilet is really indecent, but I like it. Sitting in the bathroom, thinking wildly, believing in the reins, it is very useful.
In order to write the theme song of "Shanghai Beach", Huang Xia, who wrote lyrics in Hong Kong, personally ran to the Huangpu River to see it, but he could not find any feelings. One day, he had diarrhea, sat on the toilet, flushed the water, hey, there were: waves, waves, rivers gushing love and hate endlessly. The song is already a classic.
The Japanese writer Junichiro Tanizaki wrote an essay, "Yin Feng Praise", which is to praise the old Japanese toilet, saying that although the toilet is isolated from the house, it has a board corridor, and there is no need to worry about rain and sun when going to the toilet. I cleaned it again, smelled the smell of green leaves and moss, and squatted in the toilet to hear the rain that was quietly pouring into the soil outside. He said that this toilet should be the sound of insects, birds, and moonlit nights.
Sometimes this may be the case, and I am afraid that people squatting in the toilet will forget what they are here to do. Zhuangzi also said, The Tao is drowning in. However, no matter how meticulous the moral gentleman is, he will never bring the lesson of "prudence and independence" to the toilet. Especially in the morning, it was too expensive. You just got up in the morning, the burden of going to bear during the day is still on the corner of the wall, the noise of the city outside the window has not yet been heard in the ear, your wife and children are still sleeping, you just close the bathroom, relax your body, sip tea, the heavens and the earth are leisurely, I am alone, even God can't bear to disturb you. This period is a gentle transition between night sleep and daytime labor. Last night you may have nightmares, during the day you may run into walls everywhere, but now you are quiet, carefree, and all thoughts are empty.
I was in the bathroom, usually reading a book. Read everything, as long as it is not difficult to read, can understand, do not need to check the reference book, just do. What I read the most in the bathroom was poetry and its literary theories, wherever I looked, I could put it in and down, such as Yu Pingbo's "Reading Words Occasionally" and "Halal Word Interpretation", Jin Shengsi's "Du Shi Xie", Tang Guizhang's "Brief Interpretation of Tang and Song Words", and so on. I'm ashamed to say that my little bit of poetry cultivation is also thanks to the daily toilet reading. The ancients were abrupt. Sitting on the toilet and silently reciting "the frost and the wind are tight, the Guanhe is cold, and the remnants are in the building", If Liu Yong knows about the underground, he will really be angry with "red decay and green decline".
Ouyang Xiu said that in his life articles, the lower abdominal manuscript was mostly on the pillow, on the horse, and on the toilet. In fact, not only the ancients, Zhou Zuoren also liked to read on the toilet. People say that the solution of the day lies in the morning, and for some people, especially writers, the solution of the day lies in the bathroom in the morning. If there are entertainment stars who also have such a "hobby", many gossip media and gossip reporters will certainly be able to use them to make gossip articles. Fortunately, I'm not an entertainment star.
