I, compose the 5000 years of China

Chapter 186 This Is The Great Tang Dynasty... (for subscription)
"Teacher Chen Fan, there will be too many poets appearing on the next program."

"Maybe it's a little too much, but, Director Xu, isn't this more interesting?"

"Well, it's interesting to watch, but it's too interesting, right?"

"Isn't that good?"

"Teacher Chen Fan, I didn't mean that?"

"Director Xu, what do you mean?"

"It's not as good as this, it's still the same as before, just be a poet in one episode."

"..."

Chen Fan rolled his eyes.

This director Xu is indeed a master of program making.

A poet does a show.

If this method is really followed, Chen Fan can't finish it in a year.

To know.

There were dozens of well-known poets in the Tang Dynasty.

In addition, there are some poets who are not very well-known, but have also shed very good poems, and they can also be introduced.

But, if you really want to introduce it like this, Chen Fan doesn't have so much time.

Up and down 5000 years.

Say it this way.

Let alone 5000.

He can't finish talking about a Tang Dynasty in his life.

"Director Xu, there is no need for one poet to do one issue. Although every poet has something to watch, if there is an opportunity, I think we have more opportunities to cooperate."

"This...Mr. Chen Fan. Then there should be at least two episodes. After all, there are quite a lot of poets this time."

"Okay, two issues will be two issues."

I was really anxious to introduce a dozen or so poets in the first issue, and this time Chen Fan had no objections.

Subsequent time.

Chen Fan devoted himself to the rehearsal.

CCTV, on the other hand, once again advertised "There Are More Than Three Hundred Tang Poems".

[There are more than three hundred Tang poems gathered by immortals. 】

[Today, restore the real Tang dynasty. 】

[Meng Haoran, He Zhizhang, Jia Dao, Wei Yingwu, Cui Hao... all show the romance of the Tang Dynasty. 】

……

"Hey, there are more than three hundred Tang poems that are going to be released today."

"I see, it seems that five or six poets will be introduced in one episode today."

"I thought "More than Three Hundred Tang Poems" would be weak after Bai Juyi, but I didn't expect...there are so many poets."

"I have already moved to the small bench, and I am looking forward to it."

If it is said that Bai Juyi before created the highest peak of Tang poetry.

Then.

The gathering of immortals at this time is also very interesting.

after all.

Tang poetry Tang poetry, if there are only a few poets, how can it be called Tang poetry?

No matter how high the level of these poets is, if there is no competition from other poets, how can this show the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty.

Tonight, that is the immortals, compete against each other.

……

And the other side.

Backstage, Chen Fan started a general mobilization for the actors.

Yes.

This show is said to be a show, but it is actually a big battle.

Especially for these actors.

"Today's program is a bit special. It is different from the previous programs. In the previous programs, only one poet was introduced. In the whole program, this poet is the protagonist. But today is different. Today, all of you It's the main character. Now I will ask you one last question, are you ready?"

"Ready."

"Okay, let's go."

……

One command.

The time has come to 8 o'clock.

There are more than three hundred Tang poems, the fourth episode is officially broadcast.

This time it was Chen Fan who appeared first.

"Welcome everyone to watch "There Are More Than Three Hundred Tang Poems" on CCTV's comprehensive channel. I am the host, Chen Fan."

Needless to say.

As soon as Chen Fan made his appearance, there was a lot of applause.

It can be said.

There are more than three hundred Tang poems. This show was made popular by Chen Fan alone.

"The splendid Tang Dynasty not only left us a long history, but also left us a splendid culture. Li Shangyin, Du Mu, Liu Yuxi, Wang Wei, Bai Juyi... But the poets of the Tang Dynasty are not limited to these. Just like our For the program, there are more than 300 Tang poems and more than [-] poets. Then, we invite the first poet, Wei Yingwu."

Unlike the previous series of extremely gifted and talented poets.

Wei Yingwu, who just appeared on the stage, is not like a poet at all.

Not only does he not look like a poet, but he looks like a local rascal.

But Wei Yingwu is no ordinary ruffian.

Because he was born in a wealthy family, even if Wei Yingwu did all kinds of things like fish and meat villagers, everyone dared not speak out.

What you don't dare to provoke is that Wei Yingwu became Tang Xuanzong's personal bodyguard when he was 15 years old because of his prominent family background.

Just a pity.

Although Wei Yingwu was very prosperous before the age of 20.

The Anshi Rebellion broke out suddenly.

When Tang Xuanzong left, he did not leave with Wei Yingwu.

This is the end.

Wei Yingwu also lost his backer.

But maybe the heavens have great favor for Wei Yingwu.

Although he lost his backing, Wei Yingwu began to work hard at this time, studying hard, and wrote many famous poems.

Also because his poems were very good, he finally attracted the attention of the court.

inside the lens.

The actor who played Wei Yingwu gradually transformed from a bully to a handsome poet.

even.

Because the more books he read, Wei Yingwu became more ashamed of his past actions.

In order to make up for the mistakes he made when he was young, he wrote many poems about the suffering of the people.

He also did a lot of practical things for the people when he was an official.

At the same time.

His personality also changed from domineering and domineering to calm and peaceful.

And one day, "Wei Yingwu", who served as the governor of Chuzhou, visited Xijian and felt the incomparably beautiful scenery here, so he immediately recited a poem.

[I only pity the grass growing beside the stream, and there are orioles singing deep in the trees.

The spring tide brings rain and comes late, and the wild crossing is unmanned. 】

This song "Chuzhou Xijian" is one of Wei Yingwu's representative works.

In fact, many people didn't know much about Wei Yingwu in his previous life.

Or if you ask Wei Yingwu what poems he has, many people will not be able to tell.

but.

When you read this poem, you will suddenly realize, oh, it turns out that this poem was written by him.

After reading "Chuzhou Xijian", the actor who played Wei Yingwu left.

Just like this poem, it is so elegant and leisurely, and it shows the poet's leisurely and contented state of mind.

"Haha, this Wei Yingwu is really blessed by heaven."

"Yeah, I was a rascal before, and I didn't expect that the prodigal son would turn back."

"Do you know what this proves?"

"Prove what?"

"Reading can change your destiny."

"puff……"

Everyone in the live broadcast room laughed at the words that reading can change fate.

but.

It might seem funny, but when you think about it, it really is.

If not for reading, would Wei Yingwu still be the current Wei Yingwu?

If it is not reading, where are the classic poems that are now handed down. .

If it wasn't for studying, how could he turn his prodigal son back and be a good person again?
This reminded everyone of what Chen Fan said about Wen Tianxiang.

Scholars have a kind of righteousness in their bodies.

He may not be invisible to you at ordinary times, but he affects you all the time.

Even if you were extremely vicious before, as long as you read books, righteousness can change you.

Wei Yingwu is a person whose life has been changed by reading.

"Clap pat..."

The guests at the scene also sent rounds of applause for Wei Yingwu.

……

On the other side, the camera pointed at Chen Fan again.

Chen Fan is also emotional: "I have to say that Wei Yingwu's life is really ups and downs. But in fact, it's not just Wei Yingwu. There are many scholars and poets, and their lives may not be like the previous poets. Ping Shun. Next, we invite the second poet, Jia Dao."

It is different from Wei Yingwu.

In other words, he is different from other poets.

Jia Dao came from a poor family.

not only.

Because the family was too poor to afford food, Jia Dao chose to become a monk.

and so.

When Jia Dao came out, everyone was surprised when they saw the appearance of a monk.

"Is this poet a monk?"

"Hahaha, it's interesting."

This feeling is still quite fresh.

of course.

They know it too.

The culture of the Tang Dynasty was open, and not only scholars could write poems, but monks could also write poems.

And there are also many well-known monks, and their literary talents are also very high.

For example, Tang Xuanzang before that.

Only this monk is different from other monks.

In the camera, only the monk can be seen writing furiously.

It turned out that he was writing poetry.

No.

Not just writing poetry, but writing satire.

Why write satire.

The reason was that the imperial court issued a rule that monks could not go out in the afternoon.

This made Jia Dao very angry, thinking that the court's regulations simply treated them like cattle and sheep.

Therefore, Jia Dao wrote poems to vent his grievances.

It happened that his poems were discovered by Han Yu.

Han Yu felt that Jia Dao was a talent, so he wanted to recommend him.

In the end, Jia Dao returned to vulgar life and prepared for the exam.

But a pity.

Because he didn't have much resources, and he didn't necessarily have high talent, Jia Dao didn't pass the exam several times.

Even so, Han Yu kept persuading him.

Finally, at the age of 43, Jia Dao was admitted to Jinshi.

However, it is different from many other poets who have passed the Jinshi examination.

Many of the other poets who passed the Jinshi examination were from famous families, and others also had a lot of resources.

So they can be promoted step by step after passing the Jinshi examination.

But although Jia Dao passed the Jinshi examination, he was a very, very small official for a long time afterwards.

"No, no, this word doesn't work."

"It still doesn't work, it doesn't seem to read right."

"Do you want to change the word?"

In the camera, Jia Dao is writing poems while muttering to himself.

At the same time, Chen Fan explained: "Jia Dao has a nickname, the Poet of Painful Songs. Unlike other poets, there are many poets who can produce a masterpiece when inspiration comes, and some of them are written naturally. Miaoshou even learned about it. Of course, there are great talents like Bai Juyi, whose sentences are classics. But not everyone is like them. In fact, there are many poets who always think carefully about every word when writing poems."

Jia Dao in the camera is constantly thinking hard about which word should be used in this poem.

later.

I really didn't think of it.

So Jia Dao went to his teacher, Han Yu.

at this time.

Another actor playing Han Yu arrives.

"Oh, Jia Dao, where did you come from?"

"Teacher, I have a poem to ask."

Jia Dao took out a poem he had written earlier.

Just look at the poem that says:

[Living at home with few neighbors, the grass path enters the barren garden.

The bird stays in the tree by the pool, and the monk () goes to the door under the moon. 】

Behind the monk is blank.

Jia Dao asked: "Teacher, I have two words here and I don't know which one to choose. At first I thought it should be the monk pushing the moon to go down the door, but later I thought pushing was not good enough and I should use knocking. But after thinking about it carefully, I I also feel that knocking is not good...then which word do you think should be used?"

Han Yu picked up the poem, looked at it for a while, and then said: "Pushing characters is just an action without sound. Typing is both an action and a sound. Moreover, this poem is written too quietly, and it should be combined with movement and stillness. There is something in the silence. A bit of sound, there is movement in the stillness, and there is stillness in the movement, wouldn’t it be wonderful. In the end, Jia Dao also decided on this poem, Monk Knocking on the Moon’s Door..."

Applause came again.

Although the name of the poet Jia Dao is not so well-known, although he is not so talented, although he has not become a high-ranking official.

Although he may rely on word by word in his poems.

But even so.

[The bird rests in the tree by the pond, the monk knocks on the door under the moon]... It is still passed down through the ages.

"The difference of one word makes the artistic conception of a poem completely different."

"Tsk tsk, the artistic conception of this poem alone is not inferior to the level of other poets."

"Well, although the talent is not high, you can also become a talent by chanting poems hard, praise..."

"This is the more down-to-earth version of Datang Fengliu, I like it..."

The crowd of spectators was shining brightly.

Listening to these poems, they seem to have returned to the prosperous Tang Dynasty.
