I, compose the 5000 years of China

Chapter 348 Mr. Wen Yiduo, hello... (for subscription)
This poem is called "Rain Lane" and was written by the author Dai Wangshu in 1927.

The reason for creation.

This was the failure of the revolution at that time, and the author was extremely sad and hesitant, so he wrote the book.

As for the meaning of this poem.

It's actually very simple.

It is said that he hopes that a lilac girl will appear in such extreme disappointment and hesitation, and then bring him hope.

The meaning is simple and not complicated at all.

but.

The success of this poem lies in the beauty of his rhyme.

【She wanders in this lonely rainy alley,
Holding a paper umbrella

like me,
Like me
walking silently,

Indifferent, desolate, and melancholy.

she approached silently
Approached, then cast
Breathing eyes,

She drifts by

like a dream,

Sad and confused like a dream. 】

This modern poem can be said to be the most suitable work for reading aloud.

Although Chen Fan was not very enthusiastic, nor was he able to understand the social situation at that time like the author.

but.

This song "Rain Lane" caught everyone's nerves at once through his special rhythm.

"It really is Teacher Chen Fan."

"Guo Shi Wushuang is too awesome."

"Uh, do you understand the meaning of this poem?"

"I understand half of it, but it doesn't matter, as long as I think this poem is very powerful."

Yes.

Even friends who haven't understood this poem yet.

but.

Feeling the special rhythm of this poem, everyone was a little bit intoxicated by it.

It seems that this poem is like a song.

Even if it is read aloud softly, it is like a song, eloquent and long, refreshing.

"I hope to meet, a lilac-like girl who is full of sorrow... The writing is too good."

"Mr. Chen Fan, listening to your modern poem just now, it feels like listening to an extremely beautiful tune."

The host said excitedly.

Chen Fan also nodded: "Poetry and poetry, poetry and song are indistinguishable. Although modern poetry has not been around for a long time, modern poetry also inherits the characteristics of poetry. It is both poetry and song."

"Indeed."

The host is a little excited.

At the same time, he also shared everyone's previous feelings about modern poetry: "Mr. Chen Fan, do you know? Before you, everyone was not particularly interested in modern poetry. Many people think that modern poetry is just long sentences. Some people even said that he was moaning without illness. However, the modern poetry you shared these days not only broke our concept of modern poetry, but also improved our appreciation of modern poetry. "

"After all, modern poetry has not been developed for a long time, and the pace of modern life is so fast, there are so many entertainment methods, and there are hundreds of millions of literary works. Therefore, modern poetry has not yet shown special power in the entire literary genre. Sometimes, Many people wrote some very general modern poems, and it is normal to call them moaning without illness. Of course, although there are many modern poems moaning without illness. But the ancients often wrote poems, and many of them were moaning without illness.”

"Mr. Chen Fan, it seems that some of the ancient poems we have learned are not bad. There are very few works that moan without illness."

The host disagreed with Chen Fan's point of view.

Regarding this, Chen Fan said: "This is normal, because some of the ancient poems we can learn are relatively classic. It is also because they are more classic, so they have been handed down. And those works that moan without illness are often poorly written. , so it has not been circulated. Therefore, most of the ancient poems we see now, even if they are not so classic, we still feel that the writing is not bad.”

This explanation has been approved by most people.

"I support Teacher Chen Fan."

"I also support it. There is no difference between the ancients and modern people. I don't believe that the ancients would not moan without illness."

"They probably also wrote bad poems, but they haven't been handed down."

In this regard.

Chen Fan also gave an example and said: "In ancient times, there was an emperor who loved poetry very much. However, his poetry level was just like this. But even so, this emperor wrote poetry at every turn. It is said that this emperor wrote poems all his life. There are more than 4 poems. But most of the more than 4 poems are too ordinary. Only one is slightly better, and often the ministers use this poem to flatter the emperor."

"Teacher Chen Fan, who is this emperor you are talking about?"

"Qianlong."

"Who is Qianlong?"

"This one……"

All of a sudden, I slipped my mouth.

Chen Fan said: "Uh, I probably misremembered. There may not be such an emperor in history. Let me give another example. There used to be a scholar named Zhang Dayou who also liked to write poems. However, his level is not good enough. So-so. Once, he saw heavy snow falling outside the window. So, he pushed the door open happily. Facing the snow all over the sky, Zhang wrote a poem. Jiangshang is a general, Inoue is black. The yellow dog is white, The white dog is swollen."

talking.

Chen Fan also recited this poem.

The name of this poem is "Song of Snow".

This poem comes out.

Everyone started stroking their bellies again.

no way.

This kind of poem is not to mention analysis, even if you take a look at it, you can't stop laughing.

"Yongxue, hahaha, Nima, this poem is perfect."

"Jiangshang is general, Inoue is black hole, well, the writing is great."

"The yellow dog's body is white, and the white dog's body is swollen... I think this poem is pretty good. It's written very vividly, much better than ordinary poems."

"Yeah, yeah, I think so too."

Many people laughed and commented.

Chen Fan continued: "Of course, Zhang Dayou is quite talented, and this is just one of his poems. Another time, when a senior official went to pay homage to the ancestral hall, he saw such a poem written on the wall of the hall: Six Out Snow flutters in nine days, just like a jade girl descending to Qiongyao. One day it will be fine, and the broom will use the broom, and the shovel will use the shovel. After the official reads it, he is angry at this guy for scribbling casually, and angry at the bad poems written by this guy.

Immediately, he ordered the arrest of poets, and Zhang Dayou, who usually liked to write such poems, was arrested.In order to prove whether the poem was written by Zhang Dayou, the high-ranking official was not in a hurry to punish him, but ordered Zhang Dayou to compose another poem.At that time, An Lushan soldiers were besieged in Nanyang County. Zhang Dayou took this as the title and blurted out: "Millions of bandits are besieged in Nanyang, and there is no rescue or food."One day the city will be broken, and those who cry for their fathers cry for their fathers, and those who cry for their mothers cry for their mothers.The two poems were exactly the same, everyone burst into laughter after listening to it, and even the senior official was ridiculed, and finally made an exception and spared Zhang Dayou. "

Laughter, can't stop anymore.

this time.

Even the host laughed so hard that he couldn't hold the microphone.

"Teacher Chen Fan, stop, stop, stop talking, I'm afraid that if you talk about it again, we won't be able to laugh anymore."

The host quickly stopped Chen Fan's words, and then said again: "Mr. Chen Fan, we believe what you said. The ancients are the same as us modern people. Sometimes they like to moan without illness."

"That's right."

"However, Mr. Chen Fan, everyone is also very concerned about the development of modern poetry. After all, modern poetry represents our modern culture, and it is also a type of literature that is more acceptable to our contemporary people. But until the development of modern poetry For a long time, because modern poetry has no definite format, and there are no other rules and regulations. But this has restricted the development of modern poetry, what aspects do you think modern poetry should start from in the future?"

"I think, in fact, the definition of modern poetry has already explained that it is neither ancient poetry nor Song Ci. Free and unrestrained is the best expression form of modern poetry. As for how to develop, I think that as long as everyone writes more and reads more, we will It can give birth to many impressive modern poems."

was talking.

At this time.

Chen Fan watched, and suddenly had an idea: "Everyone, look ahead, is the bridge in front broken?"

"Yes."

The host nodded.

They also looked in Chen Fan's direction and looked towards the Broken Bridge.

"There are a lot of people over the broken bridge today."

"Yes, it is said that someone fell into the water."

"Have you been saved?"

"He was rescued. The management committee of the West Lake Scenic Area did a good job in terms of security. The tourist just fell into the water, and the security personnel below rescued him."

"That's good."

The crowd also chatted about what happened on the Broken Bridge.

At this time, Chen Fan asked a question: "I don't know if everyone has thought about it. We are looking at the scenery on the other side of the broken bridge. Are the people on the other side of the broken bridge looking at us?"

All of a sudden, Chen Fan's question stunned everyone.

Afterwards, everyone looked towards the broken bridge again.

Then they looked back at themselves.

"Yes, we look at them, and they may also be looking at us."

"It's not possible, it's definitely watching."

"I'm stupid, why do I feel that there seems to be a very wonderful truth in it."

Following from that.

Everyone heard only:
[You stand on the bridge and look at the scenery,
People watching the scenery are watching you upstairs.

The bright moon adorns your windows,
You adorn other people's dreams. 】

This poem is a broken chapter written by Bian Zhilin.

Originally, this poem was in a long poem, but Bian Zhizhang read it later.

I feel that the other sentences in the whole long poem are average, only these four sentences are the most expressive.

then.

He took out these four poems separately.

And because this poem is somewhat incomplete, the name of this poem is called "Broken Chapter".

broken meaning.

That is the same as the author of the starting point.

When it is at its climax, cut it off directly, and let your imagination connect.

And Bian Zhizhang's "Broken Chapter" is definitely at the level of god-level broken chapters.

After Chen Fan read these four poems, everyone on the side of the West Lake Poetry Association suddenly became a sensation.

"My God, Teacher Chen Fan, you are too awesome."

"The bright moon adorns your windows, and you adorn other people's dreams... This is the most classic modern poem I have ever seen."

"Yes, this poem, I dare say, is not inferior to those classic ancient poems."

Such poems.

Even if it is the host, the invited guests, scholars, professors... they are all excited.

"Teacher Chen Fan, you have been taught."

"Mr. Chen Fan, I think, after this poem, no one dares to deny modern poetry."

Several professors stood up and said.

Chen Fan said: "Professors are serious, let me clarify first, this poem is not written by me, the author is called Bian Zhilin, and he is a representative poet of the New Moon Sect."

"Crescent faction?"

Another faction came out, which made everyone feel extremely fresh.

"Yes, before Haizi, Shu Ting, Bei Dao, Gu Cheng...they were representatives of the Misty School. But, in fact, in the circle of modern poetry, the Misty School was just a new school. Before the Misty School, And the most famous Crescent Sect.”

That's right.

Misty Poetry is just an introduction for Chen Fan to talk about modern poetry.

What Chen Fan really wanted to talk about was the New Moon Sect.

……

"Can you tell us about the Crescent Pie?"

A professor next to him asked Chen Fan very respectfully.

"of course can."

Chen Fan nodded: "Modern poetry is also called new poetry. The development of new poetry has gone through several processes. When modern poetry appeared at that time, it had no certain rules and was very free and unrestrained. Although this is indeed a major feature of modern poetry, However, there is a group of people who do not agree with it. This group of people advocates new metrical poetry. The so-called new metrical poetry does not have to completely abide by the metrical rules of the original ancient poems. Mr. Wen Yiduo, a representative of the Crescent School, Then he put forward the famous new poem [Three Beauties], the three beauties are the beauty of music, the beauty of painting, and the beauty of architecture.”

"Teacher Chen Fan, what is the beauty of music?"

"The beauty of music is the syllables of a poem. It reads with rhythm and rhythm, and is easy to read. Just like "Rain Lane" just now. Although he did not follow the ancient metrical poems, it reads very rhythmically, just like singing."

Mr. Wen Yiduo believes that the musical beauty of poetry is the most important thing. He said that the reason why poetry can arouse emotions lies in its rhythm; rhythm is the meter.The more courageous a writer is, the more he has to wear shackles to dance happily and well.Only those who can't dance feel that the fetters are in the way, and only those who can't write poetry feel the constraints of rhythm.For those who cannot write poetry, meter is an obstacle to expression; for a writer, meter becomes a sharp tool for expression.There is only prose with a relatively simple rhythm in the world, and there must be no poetry without rhythm, and poetry has never deviated from meter or rhythm.

of course.

The meter that Mr. Wen Yiduo emphasizes here is not the meter in ancient poetry.

"What is the beauty of painting?"

The professor continued to ask.

"The beauty of painting refers to the use of words. Mr. Wen Yiduo believes that the words used in new poems must have a sense of imagery. Even if they use vernacular, modern, or even colloquial words, as long as they show the same beauty as painting in our eyes, That's a third of the way there."

For this.

Mr. Wen Yiduo also conducted a more rigorous analysis of the beauty of painting.

He believes that the same origin of poetry and painting is a major feature of Chinese culture.Among the sages, poetry and painting often complement and complement each other.After viewing Wang Wei's poems and paintings, Su Dongpo commented: "When you taste Majie's poems, there are paintings in the poems; when you look at the paintings of Mojie, there are poems in the paintings."The graceful bamboo in Banqiao is unique in poetry and painting.

This is the beauty of painting.

"Teacher Chen Fan, what is architectural beauty?"

Everyone listened incomparably fascinated.

The professor who was invited also felt enlightened at this time, and felt that the entire literary attainment had been raised to several levels.

"Architectural beauty refers to the symmetry of sections and the orderliness of sentences."

"Mr. Chen Fan, don't modern poems not emphasize the rhythm of sentences? Why do you still require this?"

"Do not worry."

Chen Fan explained with a smile: "Mr. Wen Yiduo's architectural beauty is also a general term and a big concept. He didn't ask us how many words to write in poetry, how long to write, or how long the upper and lower sentences should be. How. His architectural beauty, that is, just like the house you build. You can build various houses, but your house must reflect the beauty of the house. The same is true for modern poetry, no matter how long you write It’s better to write short, no matter how many words you have in the last sentence and how many words in the next sentence, but the whole should have an aesthetic feeling, so that people can tell that this is poetry, not prose.”

In fact, there were those who wrote modern poetry at that time, and they wrote modern poetry as prose.

You can't say that what he wrote is wrong.

But this cannot be advocated.

and so.

After Mr. Wen Yiduo put forward the idea of ​​"Three Beauties" for new poetry, modern poetry now has its own set of codes of conduct.

At the same time, Wen Yiduo also said.

The new meter of the new poetry is a breakthrough in the new poetry.

Because the rhythm of the previous ancient poems is fixed, he is unchanged.

You must abide by this metric.

If you don't, then the poem you write isn't poetry.

But new poetry is different.

The rhythm of new poems can be as varied as modern architecture.

then.

The new poems jumped out of the category of ancient poems and made a bigger breakthrough.

Over 100 years.

Mr. Wen Yiduo's "three beauties" proposition has always been the highest test standard of modern poetry.
