Chapter 228 Poetry expresses will(1/2)
'The roots were originally in the broken rock.'
Li Kui recited, as if his body merged with the mountains and forests, and suddenly became taller.
He walked straight to the edge of the cliff, and suddenly shouted coldly at the distant mountains. His voice was loud and crackling, as if he was unwilling to give up in despair... Anyone would think that Li Kui would not commit suicide!
No one thinks that Li Kui has the ability to write a good poem in half a stick of incense. It’s not that no one can achieve it, but that this kind of poem is rare. Like articles, some poems take a long time to write.
In a short time, the poet's singing skill was enough. Just like the article "Preface to the Lanting Collection", Wang Xizhi also wrote a good article that has been handed down while drunk, and it also comes with a treasure of running script that has been handed down from time to time.
Half a stick of incense, one-eighth of an hour, passed by in the blink of an eye. For a master who is well versed in poetry, he can write a poem to suit the occasion. But for students like Li Kui and Shouyang Academy, this is no longer the case.
It's difficult, but deliberately making things difficult for others. When a big shot like Su Shi participated in a cultural gathering and finally composed a poem, he had to hold it back from before the banquet started, until the banquet started, and then he would type up the draft in his mind.
The serious Eight Classics began to be written.
Unexpectedly, Li Kui started singing in just half a moment.
This was beyond everyone's expectation.
From the beginning, Li Kui had no intention of writing it himself. If he had pieced it together randomly, he could have made one, but the style of the limerick was too low, which really made people unmotivated. For literati, limericks are a wild way to go.
It was a treasonous act. Because this thing was written on the imperial examination paper, it was definitely a death sentence. Writing such a poem of average quality, no influence, and might even be ridiculed would definitely not satisfy Li Kui.
Li Kui is a young man with ideals. What he wants is to completely trample Shouyang Academy's unwillingness to the Su clan into the mud in one fell swoop. Then, after stepping on it, he will spit again and completely make these people despair.
With this thought in mind, I would definitely not be able to write it myself.
I can only memorize one song to suit the occasion.
This is so simple. In fact, he doesn't have to spend even half a moment pretending to do it.
Take two steps.
Take two more steps and you'll be out.
Cao Zhi wrote a poem in seven steps, which is regarded as a legend. Li Kui could have completed a poem in four steps. His journey from an ordinary Su family student to an auspicious one in the Song Dynasty was definitely a success. This kind of talent is worthy of being rewarded by a local boss.
The emperor wrote a letter and told the emperor: "Your Majesty, don't be stunned in the palace, our Song Dynasty is auspicious again!"
But this is not what Li Kui wants to see. He also wants to be the child prodigy Xiangrui! But the problem is, he does not have such strength, what should he do?
He is also desperate.
But crushing the scholars of Shouyang Academy was not a problem at all. The academy in the mountains, that is, the people on Jingbei Road knew that there was such an academy, how could they change the world?
After the second sentence comes out, the third sentence immediately follows: ‘Though hardships, one is still strong’.
When creating quatrains, the first and second sentences indicate the scene, which can describe objects or scenes, but the third sentence is the turning point, which is an important stroke that enhances the overall style of the poem. The fourth sentence immediately follows, which is the highlight of the whole poem.
Pen: 'The wind blows from east to west, north and south'.
At first glance, this poem seems ordinary.
Stick to the green mountains and never relax,
The roots were originally in the broken rock.
Still strong despite countless hardships,
Let the wind blow from east to west, north and south.
The words used are common words, which are easy to read, but for poems that pay attention to rhetoric, the use of simple words also shows a problem. The author's level may not be high. Of course, it is not absolute. Because those poets who stand at the top of the mountains
, I also write some poems with simple words. For example, Du Mu's "Qingming" is about a bad journey, but the third sentence is the turning point, leading to the finishing touch of the fourth sentence, and the troubled journey suddenly becomes full of fun.
Just like flags fluttering in a restaurant, spring is full of joy.
The same is true for Zheng Banqiao's poem. It is both clever and clumsy, and it gives people a very high standard. However, many people think it is average the first time they read it. They need to chew carefully to feel the poet's tough character.
, with a backbone that is not afraid of power, and an uncompromising integrity, the style suddenly reaches the sky. This is a poem with a clear intention and simple words.
But don’t forget that in literature with the theme of poetry, no matter how good the poems about scenery and objects are written, they can only become sketches, which are inferior expressions. The highest expression is still the expression of ambition.
It is unfortunate that Zheng Banqiao's "Bamboo and Stone" is a poem of ambition. It shows that his pursuit of Tao has never changed and he will stick to it unswervingly.
The idea contained in the poem suddenly elevates the tone of the entire poem, at least three steps higher.
Soon, someone among the students of Shouyang Academy tasted the connotation of this poem and exclaimed: "A poem expressing one's ambition is a poem expressing one's ambition."
Zhang Song angrily wants to kick these troublesome classmates off the cliff. If you don't say anything, no one will treat you as dumb. If you say this, how can you live if you don't write a poem expressing your ambition?
But how can Zhizhi poetry be written casually?
Which one is a classic that the poet has drafted for many years and condensed time and time again?
Especially the topic of the competition between him and Li Kui was too unfavorable for him. His name is Zhang Songnian, and there are two characters that can be used as the basis for the creation of the competition. Song, it is easy to write, and from ancient times to the present, writing about pine and cypress
There are many poems, many of which are brilliant, such as Li Bai's: When the breeze is free, it is free and unrestrained all day long.
Writing the year is not difficult either.
And it can also be extended to have two meanings, one is the Spring Festival, and the other is the fleeting time, cherish the good times.
Anyway, it’s not difficult to write.
But the name Li Kui is too wicked.
Kui.
What does this word mean?
There are layers of soil three feet thick, and the wheels are rolling in all directions.
This is the way!
For Zhang Songnian, it is still a dead end.
Zhang Songnian searched his intestines and scraped his belly, and then he remembered that there were some ancient poems with the word "kui". There was a poem "Zhou Nan·Rabbit Harvest" in "The Book of Songs" with the word "kui": 'Sure down the rabbit braid, apply it to Zhongkui'.
What does this poem mean?
The scene of the princes catching a big tiger. The warriors of the princes drove the big tiger out of the forest and went up and down the road to kill it. Some people said that they were catching rabbits to save face. How could the princes go out to the city to hunt, how could they catch the little ones?
Rabbit? The target of hunting must be tiger, leopard and old man, so that it is in line with the identity and status of the princes. If you kill a wolf, you will lose your status.
Zhang Songnian looked like a heir, and said in his heart: "This man will die on the tiger and on the road. The wicked Li Kui's father has no choice but to give him such a bad name."
Not to mention the poems about ambition, even ordinary poems, Zhang Songnian is a bit confused.
"Three feet of thick soil against each other makes BMW carving cars go in all directions." Zhang Songnian had to hold it in for so long before he came up with it. I don't want to say whether it is good or not. The key is that after having the upper line, it will be much easier to write the line.
.I don’t think about the intention at all, just write it to fool the past.
But suddenly, Li Kui threw out a poem expressing his ambition, which immediately made him dumbfounded.
Does he also want to write a poem expressing his ambition like Li Kui?
It would be better to simply kowtow and kneel down, and simply admit defeat. If his classmates from Shouyang Academy did not say anything about Zhishi, Zhang Songnian could have pretended not to know, then gave himself a step, cupped his fists and said: "Brother, you have great ambitions.
The world of Song Dynasty still needs you and me to work hard..."
That's almost it.
The worst thing is that you lose, but it doesn’t mean you haven’t lost before. What’s the difference between losing once and losing a second time?
But when his classmates exposed it, he was immediately told that it was not true even if he said it, and it was not true even if he didn't say it. He was suspended in mid-air, unable to get up or get down.
Did he say yes or not? It would be embarrassing to speak. If he said it, his status as the head of Shuyang Academy would be in jeopardy. Once his prestige is lost, it is no less difficult to continue to cultivate it than to re-establish it. But if
If you don't say it, wouldn't it be cowardice before fighting? If you make it clear that you are admitting defeat and surrendering, do you still need the kneecap?
"Zhu Dayang, after these two gods of plague are sent away, I will fight with you until death!" Zhu Dayang is Zhang Songnian's classmate and a student of Shouyang Academy. This guy was the first one to say "Poetry" just now. He is simply a bastard.
Pig teammates.
However, Zhu Dayang obviously has a strong desire to survive. He saw the haze in his senior brother's eyes, and seemed to feel that he had said the wrong thing. As for his level, he did not believe that senior brother could crush Li Kui at all, and even guessed that senior brother could crush Li Kui.
After the poem is written, Li Kui will definitely slap him in the face.
As witty as Zhu Dayang, he secretly glanced at his senior brother in a pretentious manner, and then said with a hint of sadness: "Just now, I chose the wrong topic."
ha……
Not to mention Li Kui, even Zhang Songnian was dumbfounded. Is there such an operation?
Seeing that he was about to lose, he suddenly acted rogue. This was an all-round blow to the students of Shouyang Academy.
The main reason is that I really can't save my face. I promised to slap the third generation of Sumen in the face, but why did my face end up burning?
And senior Zhu Dayang made them have the urge to dig their heads into the ground. They want to win even if they don't have any shame, but you should at least ask everyone for their opinions, right?
But Zhu Dayang didn't do this. Instead, he simply replaced Zhang Songnian and said: "We admit defeat."
Give up?
The students of Shouyang Academy looked at Zhu Dayang in surprise, but they were followed by a spirit of justice. Although they failed, it was a responsible failure. It was better than the kind of defeat like a lost dog.
Don't know how much.
Even Zhang Songnian breathed a sigh of relief. Facing the poem thrown by Li Kui, he had no ability to resist at all. If he continued, according to the process of a literati, he should write down the whole story on paper, inscribe it.
, and then write the year. For example, when I was living in Shouyang Mountain for a long time, I met Zhang Songnian, a student of Shouyang Academy. His son was devoted to learning, and they had a very happy conversation. When he said goodbye, he gave him a poem.
Then, if Zhang Songnian is not lucky, he will always be remembered by readers as this poem spreads.
To be continued...
