Chapter 349 Talking about "Xu Zhimo" today... (for subscription)
"The beauty of music, the beauty of painting, the beauty of architecture... It's too good to say."

"This poetry meeting is simply Teacher Chen Fan teaching a group of big shots."

"I just like this kind of class. I feel that after listening to Teacher Chen Fan's class, the whole literary cell has grown a lot."

have to say.

The Three Beauties of New Poetry advocates that everyone has a more comprehensive understanding of modern poetry at once.

Before that, many people didn't have much feeling for modern poetry. After listening to Chen Fan's three beauties, they also began to realize that if modern poetry conforms to the three beauties, they can also create classic works.

For this.

Chen Fan continued: "Therefore, Mr. Wen Yiduo's proposition of three beauties has been recognized by all the poets of the New Moon School. Among them, Xu Zhimo, the representative of the New Moon School, took the lead in practicing it and created many popular poems. New poetry."

To talk about the Crescent School, I have to mention Wen Yiduo.

same.

To talk about the Crescent School, Xu Zhimo is an indispensable figure.

"Xu Zhimo is from Jiaxing, Jiangsu and Zhejiang. His ancestors are from a business family. When he was young, he studied in Hangzhou No. [-] Middle School. Later, he went to Hujiang University, Beiyang University and BJ University. During his study in China, Xu Zhimo made many friends. He also worshiped Liang Qichao as his teacher. Later, Xu Zhimo went to study in the United States, and three years later, he went to Cambridge University. While at Cambridge University, Xu Zhimo met a generation of talented Lin Huiyin. "

Xu Zhimo's love story has always been talked about in previous lives.

in this world.

as well.

Although Chen Fan hasn't said all about the whole love yet.

But judging from the opening, this look is the story of a talented man and a beautiful woman.

And such a story.

For thousands of years, enduring.

"But in fact, Xu Zhimo was married before he met Xu Huiyin. His wife is called Zhang Youyi, but he doesn't have much relationship with Zhang Youyi. The reason for getting married is entirely arranged by his father. Or, Xu Zhimo He believed that his marriage was a marriage between his father and the Zhang family. Xu Zhimo, who had longed for freedom, did not like this marriage, and after he went to the United States and Cambridge, he was influenced by Western liberal thoughts. Of course, if there is no Before getting to know Lin Huiyin, perhaps the marriage between Xu Zhimo and Zhang Youyi could continue for a while. However, after getting to know Lin Huiyin, Xu Zhimo felt that all his thoughts were on Lin Huiying."

"For this reason, Xu Zhimo began to pursue Lin Huiyin constantly, and wrote a lot of love poems for Lin Huiyin. Facing such a talented Xu Zhimo, naturally, Lin Huiyin also admired it very much. However, Xu Zhimo was married after all. Because He really liked Lin Huiying so much, so Xu Zhimo divorced his wife Zhang Youyi cruelly. Even though he knew that his wife Zhang Youyi was pregnant at the time, Xu Zhimo persuaded Zhang Youyi to kill the child. On the one hand, Zhang Youyi, who has always been strong, agreed to marry Xu Zhimo divorced, but on the other hand gave birth to a child."

Sometimes the poet's personal life really isn't great.

While Chen Fan was talking about Xu Zhimo, many tourists had already started complaining.

"Damn, it looks like another scumbag."

"A scumbag can't be counted, after all, Xu Zhimo is divorced."

"But a wife who has children and divorces is just as scumbag."

For this.

Chen Fan didn't know how to comment.

The love affairs of these gifted scholars and beautiful women have become stories even now.

and so.

Chen Fan continued: "After divorcing Zhang Youyi, Xu Zhimo began to pursue Lin Huiyin crazily. During the pursuit, it happened that in 1924, the famous poet Tagore came to China for a visit, Xu Zhimo and Lin Huiyin served as Tagore The relationship between the two gradually warmed up, but Xu Zhimo accompanied Tagore to other countries to continue his visits. Lin Huiyin met Liang Sicheng, and went to the United States to study architecture with Liang Sicheng. The two met again and it was four years old. Years later. And four years later, Lin Huiying married Liang Sicheng."

"Liang Sicheng is the son of Liang Qichao and the son of teacher Xu Zhimo. Xu Zhimo was helpless about this. Later, Xu Zhimo fell in love with Lu Xiaoman. Lu Xiaoman actually knew Xu Zhimo long ago. He is Xu Zhimo's friend Wang Geng’s wife. It’s just that the marriage between Lu Xiaoman and Wang Geng, like Xu Zhimo and Zhang Youyi, was arranged by the family. Lu Xiaoman and Wang Geng didn’t have much relationship. , Wang Geng said to Lu Xiaoman when he was busy, I don’t have time to accompany you, you can go to Xu Zhimo when you have time. In this way, Xu Zhimo fell in love with Lu Xiaoman day and night.”

Although the story is bloody, but.

This kind of literati and beautiful women's stories have always been so bloody.

For the time being, everyone didn't know how Xu Zhimo was, nor did they know who Lu Xiaoman was.

But it's still fun to listen to the story.

"Tsk tsk, this Xu Zhimo is messing with a married woman again."

"Teacher Chen Fan said that Lu Xiaoman is also very talented, very good at drama, and also writes good articles."

"There is no way. Talented men naturally like talented women, and talented women also like talented men. Compared with officials like Wang Geng who don't understand the style, Lu Xiaoman naturally prefers the personable, talented and rich Xu Zhimo."

A group of tourists continued to discuss.

But the story of the two did not end there.

Chen Fan spoke very passionately.

after all.

Whether it's Xu Zhimo, Lin Huiying, or Lu Xiaoman.

Chen Fan knew them all very well.

These few characters were well-known figures in the literary world at the time.

Now Chen Fan tells their stories like gossip about them.

Yes.

Chen Fan also likes gossip.

Just like Chen Fan likes to gossip about Li Bai, like to gossip about Su Shi, and like to gossip about Xin Qiji.

"Although it violated the law of etiquette, Lu Xiaoman and Wang Geng divorced later. In the same year, Lu Xiaoman and Xu Zhimo got married. When the two got married, because they were very famous at the time, especially Xu Zhimo, he was still a New Moon faction. At the same time, whether it is the Xu family or the Lu family, they also had a certain status at that time. At this time, the two young people who violated the etiquette walked together, and they were criticized by many people.

First of all, Xu Zhimo's father disagreed with the marriage, but later Xu Zhimo's father changed his mind, saying that if Xu Zhimo's ex-wife Zhang Youyi agreed, then he would not object.The reason why Zhang Youyi is so important is that although Zhang Youyi divorced Xu Zhimo.But Zhang Youyi still served Xu Zhimo's parents as Xu's daughter-in-law.Later, Xu Zhimo's father also recognized Zhang Youyi as his goddaughter, and even gave Zhang Youyi a third of the Xu family's property. "

"Facing what his father said, Xu Zhimo came forward in person. Although Zhang Youyi is not as talented as Lu Xiaoman and Lin Huiying, she is not as insightful as them, and she is not as beautiful as them. But Zhang Youyi has always been deeply influenced by Chinese Confucian culture. For her ex-husband Xu Zhimo didn't obstruct too much, but generously agreed to the marriage between Xu Zhimo and Lu Xiaoman."

"For this reason, Xu Zhimo prepared to prepare for the wedding with Lu Xiaoman. However, the wedding of the two was criticized by the world at that time. At this time, Xu Zhimo invited his teacher, Liang Qichao, who was also a famous figure in the literary world at that time, to be his witness. At that time Xu Zhimo's idea was to use the name of literary master Liang Qichao to block other people's criticisms, but he didn't want to, when Liang Qichao came to the wedding of the two, he directly scolded Xu Zhimo and Lu Xiaoman. But after all, Liang Qichao also To take care of Xu Zhimo more, during the wedding, Liang Qichao said to Xu Zhimo, I hope your marriage will be the last marriage in this life."

The story progressed more and more, and everyone was gradually attracted by Xu Zhimo's story.

after all.

Although the marriage of the two violated the law of etiquette, it was also disliked by many people.

But this kind of marriage is indeed more interesting than ordinary people's marriages, and the relationship between men and women between ordinary people.

Moreover, at the wedding ceremony, Xu Zhimo's teacher Liang Qichao suddenly scolded the couple, which was unexpected to everyone.

"After marriage, the relationship between Xu Zhimo and Lu Xiaoman was okay. After a relatively comfortable period of time. But after marriage, a series of problems also occurred. This is not to say that Xu Zhimo has a new love again. In dealing with this relationship, Xu Zhimo still listened to the teacher’s words, and he was more serious. It’s just that his wife Lu Xiaoman didn’t go out to work, and Lu Xiaoman lived a good life since he was a child, and spent a lot of money. Later, because of an illness, he was bewitched by others, and Lu Xiaoman went on to smoke opium. In the meantime, the expenses made Xu Zhimo a little bit unaffordable."

"But in order to meet his wife's expenses, Xu Zhimo gave lectures at Guanghua University, Nanshi University, and Mansion University successively. After the lectures, Xu Zhimo wrote poems to earn manuscript fees when he had time. At that time, the average salary in society was 8 oceans, while Xu Zhimo can earn hundreds of dollars, but even so, it still cannot satisfy Lu Xiaoman's expenses."

"In 1931, Xu Zhimo went to Beishi. Because of the high family expenses, Xu Zhimo chose a cheaper flight at that time. But it was precisely because of this flight that he didn't want to be in the middle of the flight when the fog suddenly filled up. Carefully hit the mountain. Immediately, the fuselage caught fire and all the people on board were killed."

Yes.

It is a pity.

The young Xu Zhimo died in this air crash at the age of 34.

……

"The story is over."

Xu Zhimo's life is only 34 years.

and so.

His life was not long, and Chen Fan didn't spend too much time talking about it.

"Mr. Chen Fan, it seems that you said that Xu Zhimo is one of the founders of the Crescent School."

"Yes."

"But it seems that we haven't appreciated his poems yet."

"I forgot."

Chen Fan said: "Xu Zhimo didn't write poetry originally, he studied economics. However, he has a deep foundation in Chinese studies since he was a child, so his foundation is very good. After he met Lin Huiying, all of a sudden, he was His talent for poetry exploded. He once wrote a new poem for Lin Huiying called "Accidental", which is also Xu Zhimo's confession to Lin Huiying."

[I am a cloud in the sky,

Occasionally projected on your wave heart——

Don't be surprised,
——

s

You and I meet on the night sea,
You have yours, I have mine, direction;

you remember
better you forget

The mutual light at this rendezvous! 】

have to say.

Xu Zhimo is indeed a genius.

His love poems are also very classic.

After Chen Fan finished reading this poem, many people felt goosebumps.

It's not that the poem is badly written.

Smart tourists know.

Such poems have a huge lethality for women in love.

Not to mention, the poem is very well written.

Just ask.

How do you feel when a woman has a crush on you and you write her a really beautiful new poem?
"Well, Xu Zhimo does have the strength of a scumbag."

"No way, the strength is too strong."

Although everyone has complained about Xu Zhimo before.

But have to say.

Xu Zhimo's strength is unmatched by ordinary people.

Just like this poem.

That was written more than 100 years ago.

Just ask.

More than 100 years have passed, how many poets can surpass Xu Zhimo?
"In fact, feelings are not emotional, which is secondary. Although the relationship between Xu Zhimo and Lin Huiyin, Xu Zhimo and Lu Xiaoman is known to the world, it even became a topic of conversation after dinner when they were free. But it is gossip after all. What we remember Xu Zhimo is not his feelings, but his poems. Of course, the poems I am talking about are not the love poems written by Xu Zhimo to Lin Huiyin. Although the love poems written by Xu Zhimo to Lin Huiyin are indeed very good. But , compared to Xu Zhimo's other poems, it is really only average."

"In 1920, Xu Zhimo studied at Cambridge University. This Cambridge University is now Cambridge University. In Cambridge University, Xu Zhimo learned a lot of knowledge here. At the same time, Xu Zhimo also believes that his self-awareness is also in the Cambridge just started. Therefore, Xu Zhimo has an incomparable nostalgia for Cambridge. In 1928, Xu Zhimo came to Cambridge University again. After staying at the home of the British philosopher Russell for one night, he came quietly without prior notice. He went to Cambridge to look for his British friends. Unfortunately, none of his British friends were there, and only the familiar Cambridge was waiting for him silently. Scenes of past life scenes were displayed before his eyes again, and Xu Zhimo was filled with emotion. It was just that time was urgent at that time, and I was in a hurry to meet another British friend, so I didn’t record this emotional activity. Until Xu Zhimo returned to China by boat, facing the rough sea and the vast sky, Xu Zhimo showed the paper Write down the personal feelings of returning to Cambridge this time.”

This feeling turned into a new poem - "Farewell to Cambridge".

I left gently,

as I came gently;
I waved softly,

Farewell to the clouds of the western sky.

The golden willows on the river bank,

the bride in the sunset;
Shadows in the waves,

rippling in my mind.

Nymphs on the ooze,

Oily swaggering underwater;

In the soft waves of the Cam River,
I am willing to be a water plant!
That pool under the shade of elm,
It's not a clear spring, it's a rainbow in the sky...

And this "Farewell to Cambridge" has also become one of the most representative works among the new poems.
