composition test questions
Read the text below, according to what the article says.

Liu Yuxi of the Tang Dynasty wrote a poem "Hunning Mirror Ci".The small quotation of the poem says: A mirror-making craftsman put ten bronze mirrors for sale in the shop, of which only one was polished clearly and brightly, and the other nine were dim and fuzzy.Someone asked in puzzlement: Why is there such a disparity in the dimness of the mirror?The craftsman explained: It is not impossible to polish all mirrors to the same brightness. The problem is that nine out of ten people who buy mirrors prefer dark mirrors to bright mirrors, because a clear and bright mirror can see no matter how small the flaws are. Most people would not feel comfortable using a mirror like this.

The mirror mentioned by Liu Yuxi does not seem to refer to the daily utensils used to reflect the face and figure.From a single person, a family, to a nation, a country, and even the entire human race, "mirrors" are inseparable; "mirrors" are everywhere, there are bright mirrors and there are dark mirrors.Making and selling mirrors has its own purpose; selling mirrors and using mirrors have their own particulars.Please write an article on the topic of "buying mirrors".

Favor the light, only take the mirror

(a candidate from Hubei)

In ancient times, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty "used copper as a mirror to straighten clothes; used people as a mirror to understand gains and losses; used history as a mirror to know success and failure."It can be seen that although a mirror is a small thing, it is extremely effective.However, how many people today still hang a mirror in their hearts, let the aura pass through the dark places of the soul, and create a bright life?But I always believe that those who yearn for the light will always distinguish between light and dark with reason, favor the light to illuminate the road of life, and pick up the mirror to illuminate the journey of struggle.

There is a saying in the Buddhist saying, "Bodhi does not have a tree, and a bright mirror is not a stand. Wipe it frequently so as not to stir up dust", which warns people of the importance of self-cultivation.People who walk in a materialistic society will inevitably be stained with fame and fortune, and let it develop.In the end, the bright mirror that was originally hanging in the heart was swallowed by the smell of copper and wine, and the mind became more and more numb, forgetting the previous oaths and the beliefs that were once tightly tied to the heart.So degenerate and corrupt, abandon the "bright mirror", and put a dark mirror on the soul.Reality will give such people the most real punishment.

In fact, when everyone was born, the previous generation had already "bought" a pure and simple "mirror" for him, hanging high in his heart, reminding everyone day and night. The "Mer Mirror" was exhausted, so at an unknown late night, the mirror was replaced secretly.They can't hear God's heavy sigh, they can't see the beauty of heaven on earth, and they forget the morals and sentiments that they listened to the teachers explaining to themselves piously in ideological and moral classes when they were young.

Some people say that Mr. Lu Xun uses his pen as a dagger, but I think he is more like a mirror, a bright mirror that can see any flaws clearly.The gentleman interprets the inferiority of the people, sometimes scolding, sometimes cursing, heartily.Your words are like a bright mirror, not only clearly illuminating the faces of all those who run around, but also reflect the reflection of our ancient civilization with thousands of years.Mr. is also strict with himself, always introspecting and repenting from time to time, so Mr. and Mr.’s writings are always looked up to by people, because he and it are mirrors that our nation urgently needs to buy.

A nation without self-knowledge is sad, because it will never understand the true meaning of shallow and profound; a country without self-knowledge is dangerous, always thinking that it is the center of the universe, and when it opens the window and looks into the distance, But they are already approaching the city.Only by remembering the bright mirror and abandoning the faint mirror, can we always watch the flowers bloom and fall, and the clouds roll and the clouds relax.

In real life, some people favor the "dark mirror" and think that they can go to the light from now on, but they don't know that darkness has come quietly.And a truly wise man, no matter what kind of environment he is in or what kind of encounter he encounters, can always buy the "mirror" of ideal struggle, and will eventually walk out a bright road of life.

So, my friend, I advise you to remember - light is favored, let us only take "bright mirror"!

The article is profound in conception and unique in its insights, closely linking the rejuvenation of the nation and social progress with the choice of a "mirror". The most prominent feature is that the author chose Lu Xun, the "mirror of the nation", to reveal the ugly faces of all the scumbags.

Flowers bloom in the mirror, flowers fade outside the mirror

(a candidate from Hubei)

The world in a bright mirror can be an unbeautiful face, a withered flower, or a heart riddled with holes...

The world in a dark mirror can be a face with beautiful outlines, a flower that seems to be blooming, or a seemingly complete heart...

Do we dare to face ourselves?Dare to face your sober self?This question has been hidden in people's minds for a long time, but no one dares to answer it directly, or has never thought about it.

I once heard such a story: a queen with a vicious heart threatened the mirror that she was the most beautiful person in the world.The mirror shuddered and lied.

——I see flowers blooming in the mirror, but flowers fading outside the mirror.The ugly mind tries to cover up his despicableness by blurring his vision, but he never knows that what he faces himself will always be false prosperity and real ugliness, because when facing others, a real face appears even more distorted and dirty.

Why do you have to deceive yourself so much?
I have also heard such a story: a king wanted to know whether he could rule for a long time, so he discussed the matter with his ministers.Most of the courtiers are flattering and admonishing a gentleman, which can last for a long time.However, a minister frowned and warned the king that the king's evil was serious.So I talked with him in detail.After hearing this, the gentleman said: "Your son is like a bright mirror for me, which can make me see through internal and external troubles, while the rest of the courtiers are all blind, blinded by my eyes."

How difficult and important it is to see yourself clearly!

The mirror is like a repair tool. When people say that they have flaws, they can repair themselves and improve themselves. Waiting in the mirror will be a brand new face.

The blind mirror is like a self-concealer, allowing you not to see the flaws and ugliness, but only the flawless outline, then the wounds of your flaws will continue to fester, and the shadow of ugliness will continue to spread.

I choose the bright mirror to illuminate myself, let it present a true self, even if it is ugly, even if it is painful; I choose the bright mirror to illuminate myself, let it tell me sincerely where the flaws are, even if it is suffering; I choose the bright mirror Come to illuminate myself, let it become a filter, let me keep improving, keep refreshing myself.

Yes, get yourself a mirror!The kind that is so bright that it can emit light, let it shine on your pure heart.

Look, the flowers in the mirror bloom, and the flowers fade outside the mirror.

mirror japan
(a candidate from Hubei)

When the tiles were no longer shiny in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, the neon clothes when singing and dancing were no longer gorgeous, and the prosperity of yesterday gradually faded away.Yiye carried a warlock named Xu Fu and the boys and girls following him, sailing towards a small fishing island. A nation named Japan grew up in the arms of China.But this small fishing island has witnessed the joys and sorrows of China.

The day before yesterday, when the bells of the camels heading for the Western Regions were tinkling, steam was buzzing from the bulky camels, and the blue-eyed fox looked around, the secluded Qing government was nothing but a blind old man wearing a poppy crown.However, another decaying empire opened its eyes wide, opened its arms after the "Meiji Restoration", accepted the challenge, and regained its vitality.As a result, the ancient China began to wake up, looking for opportunities to re-emerge in the "Reform Reform" and "Westernization Movement", and began to take its own steps under the reflection of this mirror.It's just that this sleep was too long, and this step was too late.
