范文：




No one will deny that a study of any field, before stretching its own limbs, will
gain benefits
if it starts
with
a thorough
awareness
of
all the former endeavors
and
their achievements.
To make it clear, soaking in bygones is
much like tracing back
along
the
paved
road
and
trying
to
clarify
how
the
forerunners
make
their
way
towards the happy end. The benefiting mechanism is more than implicit: on one hand,
the
approaches
utilized
in
the
foregone
endeavor
are
proved
to
be
valid
by
all
the
effects
achieved
and
thus
could
be
generally
used;
on
the
other
hand,
any
bygone
endeavor, no matter what kind of goals it may have realized, is a trial consisting of
assumption and validation, thus contributes to not only confirming the precious, but
also
ruling
out
the
fallacious.
Allowing
for
these,
a
more
considering-worth
issue,
instead of questioning the sure benefit of past achievement, is that whether it is a must
to be exposed to bygone influences before launching out certain endeavors, and if it is
impossible
to
make
a
difference
without
it.
Answer
to
this
question
can
never
be
asserted, since in different fields bygones carry different weights and thus should be
attached with different priorities.



It
is
unbelievable
that
in
the
field
of
music,
which
may
favor
originality
more
than any other field do, people are continuously shadowed but inspired by what the
former musicians have composed. In this arena, the past achievement, by itself, makes
not only a referable textbook but an indispensable brick of the later Great Wall as well.
This more significant role is realized through one of the most frequently used method
of
producing
music
—
sampling.
By
taking
a
portion
of
one
sound
recording
and
reusing it as an instrument in a different piece, hip hop musicians are enabled to mix
out miraculous pieces which may even outweigh the original version. Although critics
and arguments centering on copyrights have never ceased, the material-oriented way
of
producing
music
has
proved
to
be
no
lack
of
creativity
and
achieved
huge
commercial success. In this kind of music processing, alterations of the music’s tone,
pitch, mode, or tempo, all will add to the magic of turning good into best, but none of
these miracles will be realized unless the musicians could have a great mastery of the
“good”, i.e. he/she should be equipped with a bunch of the old records and are fully
aware of the beauty of every single note within it, even if it is only some friction noise.
Recalling that Hip hop musician Kurtis Blow has started the scroll of sampling with
his renowned hit If I Ruled the World, it is hard to imagine what the hip hop world
would be like if all the composers were deprived of the old knowledge they acquire
from pioneers.



Nevertheless,
in
term
of
literature,
another
field
which
also
features
the
utilization
of
creativity,
former
achievements
may
pose
as
an
impediment
to
overcome
rather
than
any
nurturing
home
to
rest
in.
There
has
been
a
discussion
around
the
disparities
among
several
grand
names
of
short
fiction
writing,
Caver,
Naipaul
and
Munro.
All
three
have
been
divined
as
the
“Chekhov”
in
their
own
country. However, that glowing praise has another way of interpretation, which may
reveal
some
dark
side
of
the
influence
of
our
ancestors:
Chekhov
has
stood
as
the
Mount Everest in the world of short stories and since his time, all the efforts devoted
to short fiction writing resemble climbing the mount
—
no matter how hard he tried,
Caver was only approaching the peak from the southern side, while Munro from the
northern side. It seems like Chekhov has set the envelop of all the future activities and
the
new
comers
have
no
chance
of
hiking
off.
A
similar
case
took
place
in
China.
When
Mo
Yan
won
the
2012
Nobel
Prize
in
Literature,
he
was
questioned
for
the
