Riding the wind of rebirth

Chapter 639 "Song of Huai"

The place where the old man lives is also a small courtyard, but in the western suburbs, it is still a little distance to ride there.

The old man and his wife left a few years ago, and the couple had a very deep relationship, and the old man has been single since then.

I heard that some admirers recommended themselves as pillow seats, but the old man refused jokingly, saying thank you for your spirit of sacrifice.

Of course, this happened after the old man's calligraphy works were exhibited overseas and caused a sensation, and the auction price was able to exchange a single character for a building in those days.

It's not an exaggeration, because the old man came back and donated the auction to the school. He really built a building and established a scholarship.

In the Internet age, when everyone in the future dares to question Lao Tzu's calligraphy, the old man's calligraphy once attracted a lot of criticism, saying that the changes were not sufficient, and the method was too strict.

What's even more ridiculous is that a group of people say that the old man's calligraphy does not pay attention to changes and does not conform to the aesthetics of modern people.

But another group of people said that the old man's calligraphy was too "kitsch", and he gave up his due "strength" in order to please the aesthetics of modern people.

The most ironic thing is that the old man himself is the honorary chairman of the Chinese Calligraphers Association, the president of Xiling Yinshe, and the initiator and judge of the upcoming first national calligraphy competition.

For example, "Golden Terrace":
Jintai idlers are full of Fuli, and the year-old oriole is a problem of consumer goods.People in Guyuan are sparsely red and lonely, and Pingwu Spring Festival Gala is green and desolate.The crows are noisy in the sky, and the clouds and cranes do not live in the Huabiao.My favorite is the road beside Ligong Bridge, Huang Chen has not reached the west of Fengcheng.

The last couplet is about Fu Jen Catholic University, which is located near Li Gongqiao in the west of the city, where I teach. It is a missionary school and has not yet been ruled by the Japanese invaders.

For people like the old man, Zhou Zhi gets along very well, because Mr. Wang, Mr. Gu, and the fourth cousin are actually the same kind of people.

The whole poem is full of twists and turns, and it can be called dancing with shackles. It is a masterpiece of chanting the fallen scenery and fallen life in despair.

The old man's poetry style is also interesting, and most of his early works are excellent masterpieces in Zhou Zhi's opinion.

Only in this way did the old man's fighting spirit be aroused, he continued to work hard, and finally became a generation of masters.

Zhou Zhi dare not say that he is also this kind of person, but he admires and gets close to this kind of person.

Zhou Zhi is quite honest in this regard, of course he will not be as crazy as those people. Instead, by discussing the rhythm of the poems with the old man, he made a tactful criticism to the old man, expressing the beauty that poetry, as a medium for conveying intentions, can bring to people's hearts with touch.

The old man didn't restrict himself by category and status at all, after hearing that Zhou Zhi was a closed disciple of Gu Youwen, he took out a book and asked Zhou Zhi for advice.

"Which song?"

But the old man's "vulgarization" is obviously not included in this list.

When the old man arrived in the later stage, the style of his works changed completely.

There is nothing wrong with it. Traditional Chinese painting and calligraphy have always been inseparable from poetry. The National Calligraphy Contest advocated by the old man later became the most authoritative competition in Chinese calligraphy. There is a special bonus item in it, which is to encourage free writing in calligraphy works. Create poetry articles.

This poem was written after the fall of the capital. Jintai is the golden platform left by King Zhao, the capital of ancient Yan, and later became the synonym for Yanjing. The meaning of the first couplet is very clear. I can't see through the meaning.

"Vulgarization" itself is indeed a style, especially reflected in the lyrics, and it is not easy.

This is the "vulgar" style promoted by the old man in his later years, but Zhou Zhi believes that it is not so much a "style" as a kind of banter with irony and self-deprecation.

The funniest thing is that the old man himself came into contact with Chinese studies from painting. It was only because the teacher disliked that his childhood paintings lacked "literary atmosphere" and were more like works of art, so he began to work hard to study calligraphy.

It's very funny to say that the old man was sent to the lower levels, but he escaped the disaster with his good calligraphy. People everywhere asked him to write big newspapers, and sometimes he was too busy to rewrite them.

Old Master Qi didn't argue with him, instead he patted Zhou Zhi on the shoulder cheerfully: "The elbow knows this, it's actually a problem I suffered from when I was writing big newspapers back then."

And those people who talk about him, hehehe... Maybe the family members don't want to hang up the words they wrote.

Therefore, writing that kind of vulgar works full of "smell of oil" is probably the root cause of his illness in those years.

The reason is very simple, because the words are so beautiful, they were taken away as soon as they were posted.

For example, the "Epitaph" drawn up by the old man for himself: middle school student, associate professor.If you are not good at blogging, you will not be thorough.Although famous, it is not enough.If you can't be high, you can't be low.Paralysis tends to the left, Pai Zeng goes to the right.The face is slightly round, and the skin is not thick.His wife is dead and he has no offspring.Mourning is still new, and illness is still old. 66. Not longevity.

Like many literati nowadays, they deliberately write papers to lick the old man, and forcibly elevate the old man's game to be on a par with Li Qingzhao's "vulgarization".

Therefore, the old man himself is still an expert in ancient prose, and he has always been good at poetry creation. He has two monographs on poetry and prose, "On the Rhythm of Poetry and Prose" and "Rhyme".

"Know whether you know whether you should be green, fat, red and thin", can be called a rare phrase in 5000 years.

"Draft on Poetry, Prose, Pronunciation and Temperament", Zhou Zhi was terrified.

He was discouraged in the middle, because the old lady had been quietly putting away his work before, and showed it to him at a critical moment, saying that there is still a significant difference in progress between what you wrote first and what you are writing now.

Li Qingzhao, the leader of the Grace School in the Song Dynasty, was one of the best. The colloquialisms and colloquialisms in Yi'an's poems came easily, but they are surprisingly wonderful.

The couplet chant the desolation of BJ after the fall.

Zhou Zhi hurriedly comforted him: "Mr.'s poems on Huai Huai include a masterpiece that blends elegance and vulgarity, and is full of sincerity."

The three couplets are very ironic, secretly satirizing the corruption of the state affairs and the crows croaking, the leader has no image and cannot unite the hearts of the people.

Zhou Zhi chanted: "The banknotes are poured out in pieces, and the survivors don't need to burn them. A family is used to worrying about counting meters, but they are tired of sharing money today. The wine and flowers are too old, and there is no way to reward them generously. Recite seven characters Whoever agrees will be rewarded with a flock of geese in the cold sky."

This poem is one of the 82 poems of the old man's "Yong Huai". poetry.

Zhou Zhi thinks that this poem is quite similar to Yuan Zhen of the Tang Dynasty's "Three Poems of Sorrow and Affection Part One", and the style of writing is a combination of old and new, both elegant and vulgar, with sincere feelings. The excellent work after "vulgarization".

"Singing poems to congregants, this one is different from others..." The old man sighed, a little lonely, but turned around and smiled, and patted Zhou Zhi on the shoulder again: "You also know poetry, Elbow. In front of us, you dare not even mention it, but you can recite it."
