Tang Dynasty Mingyue Song Dynasty Pass

Chapter 307

Su Chen and the others came to the second courtyard in the East Wing. There was only a wall between the courtyard where Peng Qingqing lived. With Qingqing's lightness skill, they could fly back and forth without going through the door at all, and they could meet each other at any time.

Jing Hong's family of three waited in the courtyard, and when they saw Su Chen coming back, Jing Hong, Jing Yun and his father stepped forward to meet each other.

"Master Su, you are finally back."

In addition to being grateful to Jing Hong and his son for saving their lives twice, Su Chen also intends to win over this family and do things for him in the future, so he was very polite and smiled: "Brother Jing, how did you rest here last night?"

Jing Hong said embarrassingly: "Everything is fine, but there is nothing to do, so it's uncomfortable to stay here."

This is the residence of the governor of Jiangning. The court is from the family of officials of the third rank, and the hierarchy is strict. There are hundreds of servants, servants, maids, mothers-in-law, day laborers, etc., and no one will play around. , seldom speaks, very strict with Peng Zeliang's family style.

Jing Hong's family lived in, and they didn't dare to walk around casually. They stayed in the house honestly all day, but they were still a little bored.

Su Chen looked at the Jing family father and son more and more, feeling more and more that they are reliable characters, and they can rest assured in doing things for themselves in the future, and said with a smile: "Let's stay with me in Peng's mansion for now, this yard belongs to us, you can choose two people on the first floor. In the meantime, we usually start the fire by ourselves, and trouble Jing’s sister-in-law to cook, and I will arrange some things for Brother Jing’s family later, Jing Yun is still a teenager, so he can learn to read and write, and make plans for the future.”

When Jing Hong heard that there was something to do, he immediately became interested. In addition, Mr. Su was willing to find someone to teach his son how to read and write, so he was also grateful. Mr. Su is working hard."

Su Chen said with emotion: "You saved me, but you were implicated because of it. Su Chen is really sorry. From now on, you will be a member of my Su family, and you will not treat Brother Jing's family badly."

Jing Hong has a kind and honest personality, and was moved by Su Chen's sincere words. He clasped his fists and didn't say much, but he could tell from his eyes and expression that this person had great loyalty and commitment.

Next, Su Chen invited Jiang Tao, Liu Dong, and Xia Baosong to the square table in the yard, and asked Peng Qingqing to order the servants to get tea sets for making tea and so on. They drank tea in the yard and talked about literature and Imperial examination matters.

What the three of them were most curious about was why Su Chen was so good at writing lyrics. The first capital was a masterpiece, very popular, and the style was quite different from the previous ones, because Huajian Ci, Shudi Ci, and Five Dynasties Ci were mostly slow Ci. There are many small orders, but Su Chen's words jumped out of this category.

Unlike poetry, the sentences of words can be long or short, which is convenient for singing.Because it is the lyrics of Hele, it is also called music words, Yuefu, music, long and short sentences, etc.

Ci began in the Liang Dynasty of the Southern Dynasties, was formed in the Tang Dynasty and flourished in the Song Dynasty. It can be roughly divided into Xiaoling (within 58 characters), Zhongdiao (within 59�0 characters) and Changtune (more than 91 characters, the longest words up to 240 characters).If a poem has only one paragraph, it is called monotone; if it has two paragraphs, it is called double tone;

According to the nature of the melody, Ci can be divided into nine types: Ling, Yin, Man, Sandai, Xuzi, Faqu, Daqu, Zangling, and Zhugongdiao.

During the Tang Dynasty, a large number of music from the Western Regions flowed in, and it was called "Hu Bu".There are 130 songs in "Jiegulu", nearly half of which are foreign songs.It was later used as a tune, for example, "Watching the Moon Brahman" was originally a Tianzhu music, "Su Muzhe" was originally a Kucha music, and so on.

However, the Huajian School dominates the line of poetry, which is dedicated to describing romantic thoughts and love, so the status of Ci is not high, and it cannot be listed in the hall of elegance at the end of the Five Dynasties.

However, some of the words written by Su Chen transcended the category of the Huajian School's "enchanted thoughts and love", showing a fresh and beautiful, soft and not glamorous side, giving people a refreshing feeling, which has already aroused heated discussions in the scholarly circle.

Su Chen explained to the three of them: "Huajian Ci is too rich and colorful, and most of the things written are boudoir pleasures, or the style of children, which is too limited. Therefore, when I was studying long and short sentences, I was thinking about how to get rid of Huajian's words. The bondage of words can be written in a beautiful and elegant way, and can also be written in a majestic and bold style, so two types of directions have been drawn up, one is called the graceful school, and the other is called the bold and unconstrained style!"

"The graceful school? The bold school?" The three of them were all shocked, showing a thoughtful expression, chewing on the meaning of the words.

Su Chen patiently explained: "That's right, the tactful style means to express emotions, try to be as subtle and subtle as possible, it doesn't have to be as glamorous and explicit as Huajian Ci, and pay attention to a kind of artistic conception, although the content also focuses on the style of children, but the structure is deep and meticulous, Emphasis is placed on harmonious rhythm, mellow language, fresh and beautiful, with a kind of soft beauty, just like hibiscus coming out of clear water."

"I see, I seem to understand." Both Jiang Tao and Xia Baosong nodded slightly.

"Understood...understood!" Liu Dong also nodded in agreement.

"What about the bold faction?"

Su Chen continued: "The unrestrained style, as the name suggests, means that the writing is full of bold and unrestrained artistic conception, the words are majestic, the content is not limited to the personal love of children, but the whole world, or the natural scenery, to express the boldness in the heart, such as "The Great River Goes East If the bold and unrestrained poems such as "the waves are exhausted" and "the water of the Yellow River comes up from the sky" are used in the lyrics, they are bold and unrestrained lyrics."

Jiang Tao asked: "Brother Su's song "Voice of Heartfelt Love" is a bold and unrestrained word, right?"

Su Chen replied: "That's right, it's a kind of bold and unrestrained lyrics. It expresses the fate of life, the true qualities of a hero, and the difficult reality. Together, they form a tragic and gloomy lyrics."

Xia Baosong took it for granted, kept nodding his head and said: "If you say it this way, you will understand completely."

Jiang Tao clapped his hands and said, "Brother Su has such a foresight in the study of Ci. If he writes a Ci in the imperial examination, it will shine brightly, and he will be more confident in winning the Jieyuan and the No. [-] Scholar."

Su Chen sighed softly, and smiled bitterly: "Writing words only accounts for [-]% to [-]% of the score, and [-]% to [-]% of the score is in the essay. I don't write much in this area, so it may not be able to catch the examiner's eyes. , So, frankly speaking, I have no idea what kind of results I will achieve in the end.”

"So it's like this!" The three of them suddenly realized that Su Chen had always been modest and was worried about the article.

"I don't know what the three of you are good at in terms of poetry and articles?"

Xia Baosong replied: "Xia is good at writing poems, and his essays and Fu are also passable. In terms of words, his spirituality is average."

"I, I... Me too, similar to Brother Xia." Liu Dong stammered.

Only Jiang Tao smiled awkwardly and said: "My poems and essays are of average standard, whether I can make it or not is not very certain."

Su Chen thought of Jiang Tao's father, Jiang Wei, who was famous for studying ancient poetry and Confucian classics, but he couldn't write articles well, so he failed many times, and ended up in a miserable end. He didn't expect his son Jiang Tao's literary talent to be mediocre.

"Then besides the imperial examination of poetry and prose, what else is Brother Jiang interested in? For example, doing business, or water conservancy, or sailing?"

Jiang Tao thought for a while, and said: "I am quite interested in studying things, and I am also interested in shipbuilding and sailing, but these are low-level occupations after all. I usually only read some similar books, such as Shui Jing Zhu, Shan Hai Jing, Geography, etc., I think Interesting, but as a scholar, you still have to focus on the imperial examination and official career.”

Hearing this, Su Chen nodded slightly, and did not discuss further, thinking that if this Jiang Tao fails to pass the exam in the future, let's talk to him about other industries, not all of them have to go on the road of official career.
