My study is very small, as small as a few square meters, so whenever I see friends show their big study, there is always some envy... The
small study is also good, the books that can be put in the small study are all fine Those who choose carefully are all the love in the heart, which solves the problem of delay in finding the book you want to read. There are also disadvantages to the small study. Because the study room is small, the space is small, and the sofa is also small. I often feel sleepy while reading, and fall asleep in the study room with a book...The
big study room is different, the big study room is to some extent a guest room, and friends, It is necessary to entertain and drink tea, display the collection of books, and talk about it. In such a meeting space, people always have a sense of alertness-work and write, not too relaxing. The large study room is used Created, not to sleep in!
Although the study is small, as long as it has it, it is good. You know, 20 or 30 years ago, the study was still a luxury thing. I saw many scholars who wrote their works while wandering. For example, Mr. Shen Congwen, Huang Yongyu, etc., when they were writing, where Have you considered the study? In the hotel, on the boat, a piece of wonderful essay was completed.
I only had this small study room very late. In the past, a simple desk was placed in the bedroom or on the balcony. When writing something, you had to close yourself for half an hour, and then all the outside sounds were blocked before you could enter the situation.
A writer who does not have a study room is like a soldier who lacks a chariot and armor. Of course, Lu Yao, Chen Zhongshi, and Jia Pingwa did not even have a spacious balcony in their early literary creations, and they even finished them lying on the Kangs.
When a person shuts himself into the study, his subtext must be like this: Don’t disturb me, let me enjoy a quiet time, and knock on the door when entering the study. The world is so big, there is only a small room left. The small study room can contain the restless heart...
Jia Pingwa wrote in his prose that there are two fears, one is afraid of someone knocking on the door, and the other is afraid of someone entering his study, because after strangers enter the study, they can't help but wander around and want to scroll. Starting a book or a calligraphy and painting, even if you don’t intend to take things away, come in and chatter indiscriminately, it will make Jia Pingwa feel depressed, suffocated, angry... Writers need two feelings most when writing, one is quiet. One is a sense of security, and the study happens to provide both.
When there is no study room, the best thing for writers to feel quiet and safe is to stay in the bathroom. Close the door, open the exhaust fan, or draw the shower curtain, and the whole world is shut out of the door, which is an excellent relaxation for the whole person.
I remember that when I was planning my study, I customized a door with great sound insulation, bought a bookcase that I liked, and put a good book that I thought was worth turning over again. In front of the bookcase, there was a soft and comfortable small sofa. The enjoyment that the study brings to people is too great.
When I locked myself in the study, it was equivalent to sending a signal: "I'm working, please don't disturb." I have always dreamed that I could write in any place and any room, but in fact, only in this room can I really write something.
I think this is a luxury. I often have to write manuscripts on different occasions, such as cafes next to a movie theater, such as on a bus, such as during a trip, for a long time, and I am accustomed to using a smart phone to complete the tasks of collecting information, writing and sending manuscripts. But I still feel that the real writing should happen in the study room. Only in the study room can I feel the company of countless masters and an invisible but powerful spiritual hint to inspire a writer to write as much as possible within his own level. Produce good works.
A few years ago, after spending a lot of time in the study, the study has finally become the place where I spend the most time during the day. It can be said that when I was in the study, it was the most peaceful and happy time. I hope you have more time to stay in your study.
