This host is too professional

Chapter 330 Does the name not live up to its reality?

Ye Luo gave a total of three poems.

At first glance, it doesn’t sound like much.

But in fact, in addition to these three poems themselves, there are many supporting "novel plots".

After all, the "Biography of Poems of the Tang Dynasty" written by Ye Luo is not essentially a collection of poems, but a fictional novel.

There is a protagonist and a complete storyline.

This is also the reason why Li Wenzheng did not directly say three poems just now, but said "novel excerpts".

To put it bluntly, what Ye Luo gave them were fragments from three novels.

Everyone was looking down at the A4 paper in front of them.

The first thing that comes into view is the time of the 13th year of Kaiyuan.

Having read the stories of Wang Wei and Meng Haoran, everyone is naturally familiar with "Kaiyuan".

Speaking of which, Ye Luo mentioned the "Kaiyuan prosperous age" more than once in the book.Although he never specifically described what this prosperous age was like, readers like Li Wenzheng could still feel the power of the Tang Dynasty from the actions between the lines.

Even though Ye Luo's books focus on cultural aspects, readers can truly feel that the Tang Dynasty during the Kaiyuan period where Wang Wei and Meng Haoran lived was much more advanced than the Tang Dynasty where Liu Yuxi and Bai Juyi lived. There is so much prosperity and power.

As they continued reading, everyone was surprised to find that the first character who appeared in this excerpt was not the protagonist Li Bai.

But someone who surprised them.

Meng Haoran!
In the 18th year of Kaiyuan, Meng Haoran was about to go to Guangling.

As his close friend, Li Bai, after learning the news, asked someone to bring a letter and asked Meng Haoran to meet him in Jiangxia.

In fact, this plot is not too surprising for readers like Li Wenzheng.

Because, in the previous "Biography of Poems of the Tang Dynasty", Ye Luo had written the story between Meng Haoran and Li Bai.

However, the description at that time was not detailed.

Moreover, Meng Haoran was the main perspective at the time. Readers only knew that Meng Haoran met a poet named Li Bai who was 15 years younger than him in the 12th year of Kaiyuan.

But looking at this excerpt now, it is unfolded from Li Bai's perspective, and the description is obviously much more detailed than before.

Although the content is relatively simple to summarize, there are many details and descriptions of psychological activities in Ye Luo's novels.

After the two people met in Jiangxia, Ye Luo spent a lot of time describing how the two played and got along. In the end, Li Bai held a banquet at the Yellow Crane Tower on the bank of the Yangtze River to practice Meng Haoran's behavior.

During the banquet, there were many celebrities and scribes accompanying him. After changing cups and cups, Li Bai wrote a farewell poem——

"Yellow Crane Tower Sends Meng Haoran to Guangling"!
"I finally read the poetry part!" Li Wenzheng couldn't help but say, "Although Teacher Ye's poetry is good, this part of his novel writing is really boring." Even though he is a person who studies classical literature , when reading novels like Ye Luo's, I can't help but feel a little boring.

Everyone else agreed too.

Although these books by Ye Luo are called novels, in fact most readers go there for the poems in the novels.

If you just look at the plots of these "novels", they are indeed a bit boring.

Just like Zhang Rumeng's previous evaluation, these novels written by Ye Luo are strictly speaking unqualified.

There is absolutely no starting point and transition that a novel should have, and there is no fascinating storyline. Reading it is like drinking plain water, which is bland and tasteless.

Of course, if you are a history buff, that’s a different matter.

Because, Ye Luo's "Ye Tang Series of Books" is completely in the style of pure historical writing!

It is more appropriate to say that they are novels than to say that they are Ye Luo's fictional history books.

However, what drives Li Wenzheng and others crazy is that they still have to endure to read the plots of these tasteless novels.Because, if they don't read these plots, they won't be able to understand the poems that follow.

If you want to appreciate the quality of a poem, its creative background is indispensable.

If we insist on saying that what makes Ye Luo's novels attractive is the poetry behind each plot.

After everyone read it patiently, they finally saw the last poem.

This is a seven-character quatrain, with a total of four sentences before and after.

"The old man said goodbye to the Yellow Crane Tower in the west, and fireworks went down to Yangzhou in March."

"The shadow of the lonely sail is in the blue sky, and only the Yangtze River can be seen in the sky."

But in the entire scene, no one looked disappointed.

They struggled to read Baal's "creative background" for more than ten minutes. Yes, in their opinion, the plots of Ye Luo's novels were completely the creative background of the poems.

The reason why I have the patience to read them all word for word is because of these four lines of poetry!

After Li Wenzheng finished reading, he frowned for a moment, then looked up at Professor Liu Ying with a puzzled expression.

Professor Feng Jiahua next to him had a similar reaction.

After talking about it, they could feel that the poem was well written.

However, if you want to say how well written this poem is, they really haven't seen it.

Or, in their opinion, this poem is at best the level of Meng Haoran, right?
Is it very different from Meng Haoran's poems?Is the difference obvious?

In fact, in the eyes of several of them, Li Bai's farewell song "Meng Haoran's Guangling" seems not as good as Bai Juyi's "Farewell to Ancient Yuancao".

The grass on the original plain grows brighter and wither every year.Wild fire, in spring.The distant fragrance invades the ancient road, and the verdure connects to the deserted city.I sent the king and grandson off again, feeling sad and full of farewell.

It is also a farewell poem. The poem written by Bai Juyi not only contains philosophy, but also reveals the meaning of reluctance to leave in every line.

In comparison, Li Bai's farewell poem seems a bit too dull, right?This is not to say that they think this farewell song is not good, it is mainly because of its reputation as a poet!
Can this be called a poetry fairy?
It’s hard to tell that this is the level of poetry immortal!
Li Wenzheng and Feng Jiahua looked at each other, but neither one spoke first.Because there were still people in the small conference room who had not finished reading, after a few minutes, everyone was basically finished.

Li Wenzheng looked at everyone's expressions again and saw that except for Professor Liu Ying, who looked thoughtful, the others seemed a little puzzled and confused.There were even expressions of disappointment and worry on some people's faces. Chairman Li Wenzheng couldn't help but speak and said:

"Everyone, let's talk and share your thoughts."

Li Wenzheng's voice was low, and you could tell that he was probably not in a happy mood.

After a short period of silence, the small conference room finally became lively.

Although there were not many people in the room, the voices were loud and everyone began to speak.

Professor Feng Jiahua was the first to say, "Chairman, why do I think the Li Bai written by Teacher Ye is almost meaningless?"

He was not trying to trouble Ye Luo, but he was worried about Ye Luo's book and the Li Bai he created would not be worthy of the title of "Poetry Immortal". He was also in a heavy mood and said: "This song is for "Meng Haoran's Guangling". ", can definitely be called a masterpiece among farewell poems. If it were placed in other books, it would definitely be one of these people's masterpieces. But the question is, does it seem a bit bland when placed in Li Bai's body? "

Another person immediately answered: "Yes, Li Bai is known as the Immortal of Poetry. If you say that he was written by Bai Juyi and Liu Yuxi, then I will definitely be amazed. Then if you say that he is the Immortal of Poetry What he wrote, isn't it a bit..." The man didn't finish what he said, but everyone knew what he meant.

Someone else said, "From this poem, I don't see the strength that a Shixian should have at all."

"Teacher Ye has written so many farewell poems before, such as Meng Haoran, Wang Wei, Liu Yuxi, and Bai Juyi. You said that Li Bai is a poet, so his poems must be better than them, right? But let's be fair. If so, is this poem really better than the farewell poems they wrote? I think...well, everyone will understand it even if I don’t tell you, right?"

Due to Ye Luo's face, what he said was rather covert.

The five or six people at the scene basically all meant the same thing.

At this time, an old professor who specialized in poetry research pushed up his glasses and gave a different opinion: "I think Teacher Ye's poem has the style of a poetic fairy."

Everyone was stunned and looked over.

Seeing that the person speaking was old Professor Cao Lipao, they all fell silent.

Cao Lipao, with white hair, is almost 70 years old.He once served as the dean of Peking University's School of Liberal Arts, where he specialized in classical poetry.

Now that I am retired, I come to the Classical Literature Association to shine.If he were no longer interested in positions, Professor Liu Ying would not be the director of the Institute of Ancient Poetry.

Everyone respected him and listened carefully to Professor Cao's speech.

Professor Cao said: "I don't know what you think of this poem, so I will tell you my own thoughts." When he spoke, he gave people a feeling of spring breeze, "This farewell poem by Teacher Ye , in fact, it is very unusual. Others write farewells, either with reluctance or with drinking and singing. For example, "Weicheng Song" written by Wang Wei is a representative of affectionate and considerate. For example, "Fu De" written by Bai Juyi "Farewell to Ancient Grass" is melancholy and depressing. Throughout history, this is also the case, and farewell poems basically have this main theme."

"However, this song "Farewell to Meng Haoran in Guangling" does not have the bitterness of farewell at all."

"On the contrary, I saw joy and poetry in this farewell."

"I think Li Bai and Meng Haoran lived in an era like the Kaiyuan Dynasty, and their farewell actually reflected the prosperity of this era. Not only was it economically prosperous, but it was also the spiritual positivity of the people at that time!"

"This farewell coincides with the prosperous Kaiyuan era, which was peaceful and prosperous. The season is March, when the fireworks are at their strongest, and the spring is at its strongest. From the Yellow Crane Tower down the Yangtze River, the whole way is full of flowers. We excerpted from the previous article Among them, I learned that Li Bai was such a romantic person who loved traveling."

"So, this parting was completely carried out in a very strong atmosphere of capsociati and lyric poetry. Li Bai felt no sadness or unhappiness in his heart. On the contrary, he thought Meng Haoran was very happy on this trip. He yearned for the Yangzhou area and Meng Haoran. , so while saying goodbye, my heart is flying, and there is infinite poetry in my heart rippling with the river. It is really a special feeling to say goodbye to friends in a beautiful scenery. The beautiful scenery is pleasing to the eye, but the farewell is sad. With the scenery Seeing the situation is subtle and profound, just like the overtones, achieving the artistic effect of making people fascinated and wandering in reverie."

"So, this farewell poem is full of romanticism and highlights Li Bai's bold and uninhibited side."

"Perhaps this is what Teacher Ye means by the Poet Immortal. The poet is uninhibited, positive and optimistic, and his poems are also full of romanticism. At the same time, he was in the most powerful and prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty. among."

"Maybe this is the true meaning of Shixian."

Mr. Cao talked a lot, and some parts were very jumpy. Some people didn't react for a while.

However, Professor Liu Ying shouted with excitement, "Professor Cao, what you said is really good, and you said all the things I wanted to say but didn't know how to say."

Professor Liu Ying also specializes in ancient poetry culture. She felt that Li Bai's poem was not simple from the beginning.She could also vaguely feel the difference between this farewell poem and other farewell poems.

But in such a short period of time, I tasted so much.In particular, Professor Liu Ying did not expect the life attitudes behind this poem.

But now that Professor Cao said this, Professor Liu Ying suddenly became enlightened, and she added a few more words.

To be honest, although they are all members of the Ancient Literature Association, each of them has different research directions.

Therefore, when Professor Cao Lao and Professor Liu Ying put forward this point of view, everyone was still a little unable to turn this corner.

In their opinion, poetry immortals should be the best writers of poetry!

Although Professor Feng and Liu Ying also meant this, they still conflicted with everyone's original ideas.

Seeing everyone's reaction, Professor Cao didn't take it too seriously. He just smiled gently and said, "There are more things to come later. Let's continue reading. In fact, you can't tell much from a poem. You might as well read a few more. Maybe you’ll understand.”

Chairman Li Wenzheng also nodded, "It is true, there will be more to come, and we are not in a hurry to draw conclusions so early. I believe in Teacher Ye. Since he dares to write poetry, he will definitely be able to write it well."

"Yes, yes, why are we discussing it so early? Keep reading." Feng Jiahua also said quickly.

When everyone thought about it, it was indeed true.

Whether you are a poet or not can be determined by just one poem.Who can establish the title of Poet Immortal with just one poem?
Soon, everyone had finished reading the second excerpt of the story.

At the end, I saw a poem.

The name is - "Will Enter the Wine"!
　I would like to recommend to you an entertainment novel written by a friend.

　　Book title: Let your idol debut, what the hell is the movie king with a thousand faces?
