This host is too professional

Chapter 331 What exactly is Shixian?

The content of this second excerpt is actually relatively simple to summarize.

What Ye Luo wrote in the book is that in the third year of Tianbao, Li Bai, who was invited to serve as an official in the court due to his talents, eventually angered Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty due to his dissolute behavior that was incompatible with the officialdom at that time, and was eventually rewarded with gold and released.

Regarding these plots, Ye Luo did not introduce much.In the third year of Tianbao, Li Bai was given gold and returned, in this excerpt, it is more like a summary of the past.His next focus will be on Tianbao's 11th year.

This year, it has been eight years since Li Bai left the capital.However, during this period of time, Li Bai had been depressed because of being squeezed out of Beijing.Therefore, in order to relieve the depression in his heart, he embarked on a journey around the mountains and rivers of his motherland.

Perhaps it was the majesty of the mountains and rivers that made him forget these worries for the time being.However, whenever he drank, official frustration swept over him again.

This year, Li Bai and his friend Cen Xun were invited to the Yingyang Mountain residence of Yuan Danqiu, another friend of Songshan Mountain. The three of them climbed high to have a banquet and sang songs.

At this time, while changing cups, Li Bai thought of his failed career in the past, and wrote the song "About to Enter the Wine" to express his grievances.

""Will Enter the Wine"?"

When he saw the name of this poem, Chairman Li Wenzheng was slightly stunned. He even mispronounced "qiang" as "jiang".Of course, we can't blame him. After all, Li Bai's poem uses the title of an ancient Yuefu poem.Just like the brand name "Qing Ping Le", it has never appeared in the history of Blue Star.

However, as a major in classical literature, my ability to accept and understand is top-notch.

When he saw the text of the poem, he immediately understood it.

"This is an ancient Yuefu poem."

The conference room was very quiet, everyone was looking down carefully, and Chairman Li Wenzheng was just muttering quietly to himself.

"Don't you see, the water of the Yellow River comes from the sky, and it runs to the sea and never returns."

"You can't see, Gaotang Mingjing is sad and white hair, the morning is like blue silk and the evening turns into snow."

Chairman Li Wenzheng took a breath after seeing two words of "I don't see you" in a row.

If we talk about the previous poem "Send Meng Haoran to Guangling", after reading it, Chairman Li Wenzheng really felt the goodness of this poem.However, for him, the poem "Farewell to Meng Haoran" is only "good".He had felt this kind of goodness in Liu Yuxi and seen it in Bai Juyi.It can be said that in his eyes, Li Bai seems to be no different from other poets.

However, at this moment, just these two "not seeing you" changed Chairman Li Wenzheng's view of Li Bai!
Can this really be written by a human being?What kind of imagination does this person have?
With just these two sentences, Chairman Li Wenzheng seemed to feel the difference between Li Bai and others.

These two groups of long sentences seemed to be rushing towards him with the wind and rain from the sky and the sea.The rushing water of the Yellow River seems to fall from the sky, and then enters the sea without returning.Such a magnificent and majestic scene is by no means what ordinary people can see with the naked eye, but what the poet "obtained from his own way".Compared with the common poems praising the majesty of the Yellow River, it is so many levels higher!

What followed immediately was "like green silk in the morning and snow in the evening", which could be described as one wave after another. It was extremely exaggerated and shocked Li Wenzheng greatly.

With such courage and imagination, he seemed to have really seen something unusual about the "Poetic Immortal"!

Of course, the opening of these two sentences can be said to be extremely sad in terms of content, but it does not show any fragility. It is completely like a giant's sadness, giving people a thrilling feeling.

This is the first time Li Wenzheng has written about such sadness.

Not only him, but everyone else present was also completely shocked by this opening chapter.

They looked at the A4 paper in their hands in shock, as if they wanted to say something, but were afraid of breaking the tranquility in the conference room.

Helplessly, everyone had no choice but to continue to endure the thousands of words in their hearts, suppress their excitement, and continue to watch.

"You must be happy in life, and don't let the golden bottle face the moon."

"I was born to be useful, and I will come back after the money is gone."

When he read this, Li Wenzheng's eyes suddenly turned red.I don't know why, but he was so excited that he was trembling all over, and he kept mumbling this sentence: "I am born to be useful, and I will come back after all my money is gone"!
Of course, others performed better than him.But the inner excitement is the same.

I am born with talent that will be useful, and I will get it back after all my money has been spent!

This sentence can be said to directly touch the soul!
It seems that everyone has a feeling of "clearing the clouds and seeing the sun" about the future of their lives.

At this moment, everyone inevitably recalled the once high-spirited self in their minds.

Once upon a time, who didn’t have passion and ambition?
Perhaps, the feeling at that time was that "I am born to be useful".

Unfortunately, time flies and time passes.The ambitions that once existed have also flowed eastward into the sea over time.

But at this moment, after reading this poem by Li Bai, everyone felt that their chests seemed to be filled with blood again.It was as if the ambitious self in his youth appeared before his eyes again.

Yes, I am born to be useful!

Even if time is wasted at this time, what's the point?There will eventually come a time when "a thousand pieces of gold will be lost and it will come back again"!
This poem is like a roar against fate!It’s also like having unlimited confidence in your own talents!

The shock it brought to everyone was really too deep.

What kind of person is this?How can you write such a bold and confident sentence?

At this moment, the image of a bohemian Li Bai, holding a wine glass, drinking to the sky and singing loudly, quietly appeared in everyone's mind.

Is this Li Bai?
Is this the Shixian?
They don't understand.

In other words, they were already a little blurry at this point.

Maybe you understand vaguely, but that feeling is like the breeze between your fingers. It seems that you can reach out and grab it, but there is always nothing in your hand.

Indescribable.

Extremely complex.

After almost a while, Li Wenzheng calmed down a little and continued reading.

"It is fun to cook sheep and slaughter oxen, and you will have to drink three hundred cups at a time."

"Master Cen, Dan Qiusheng, will drink wine, don't stop drinking."

Li Wenzheng has been reciting silently in his heart. When he read this, the voice in his heart couldn't help but become a little more excited.A picture appeared subconsciously in his mind: Li Bai proudly held up his wine glass, calling his friends to drink the glass full.

Unexpectedly talented?
Unsuccessful career?
At this moment, Li Wenzheng could not see such emotions in Li Bai at all.What he saw was a man with great pride, a man who would never admit defeat, and a majestic and bright star!
"Sing a song with Jun, please listen to me."

At this moment, Li Bai seemed to have forgotten that he was writing poetry.It's like having a normal conversation with a friend, telling what's in my heart: "The bells, drums, delicacies and jade are not expensive, but I hope I will never wake up after being drunk for a long time."

What's the use of high officials and generous salaries, money and fame?I just want to be drunk all the time!

It seems that this is Li Bai's inner pursuit.

Perhaps he was afraid that someone would laugh at him for not having great ambitions, so he thought he had found a good basis for his theory.

"The sages and sages in ancient times were all lonely, only the drinkers kept their names."

Saints?

What can a sage do?Who can leave a name in history?

In Li Wenzheng's mind, he seemed to see the angry Li Bai.He can understand Li Bai. What he said at this time should be what he said angrily, right?
However, Li Bai then gave further examples:
"King Chen used to feast in peace and joy, and fight for ten thousand wines and banter."

When he read this, Li Wenzheng was slightly stunned.

Who is King Chen?

He knew that when Ye Luo wrote books, he used to use some non-existent allusions.To put it bluntly, he made it up himself in order to leave some foreshadowing for his subsequent books.

Is this the same for this "King Chen"?
But soon, Li Wenzheng remembered.

King Chen, Cao Zhi!
Yes, isn't this King Chen the Cao Zhi mentioned in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms"?

He still remembered that Cao Zhi wrote a wonderful line in "Famous Capitals": "When you return, you have a feast of joy, and you fight with ten thousand fine wines."

At this time, Li Baihua used this sentence, and Li Wenzheng instantly connected the two characters Li Bai and Cao Zhi.

But he didn't think much about it at this time and continued to read.

"Why does the master say that he has little money, and he has to sell it to the king."

"Five-flowered horses, thousands of gold, Hu'er will exchange for fine wine, and sell eternal sorrows with you."

The song "About to Enter the Wine" makes people feel full and hearty.

After reading it, Chairman Li Wenzheng could not calm down for a long time.

This poem had such a strong impact on him.

Compared with the song "Sending Meng Haoran to Guangling from the Yellow Crane Tower" just now, this song "About to Enter the Wine" is completely like a stroke of genius!It's hard to figure out, but you can't help but fluctuate with Li Bai's emotions.

Li Wenzheng was not the first person to finish reading. Professor Feng Jiahua next to him was faster than him. Feng Jiahua was mumbling at this time, his voice was very low, and he could not hear it clearly.

However, looking at him like this, I guess he was reading aloud in a low voice.

Also, this kind of poem, if I just read it silently in my heart, it really lacks some flavor.

It would be a pity if I couldn't sing loudly with the free and confident feeling I had in No. [-] Middle School.

"Five-flowered horse, a thousand gold furs, Hu'er will exchange for fine wine, and sell the eternal sorrow with you!"

Perhaps Professor Feng Jiahua's voice was a little louder, which alerted the others.

Fortunately, everyone had finished reading by this time. After hearing the noise, there was no big reaction. They just looked up at Feng Jiahua.

Professor Liu Ying even looked at him and asked with emotion: "Professor Feng, I heard you read out this poem. How do you feel?" She paused and asked again, "This How do you feel about poetry? Do you deserve the title of Poetry Immortal?"

Feng Jiahua's heart was a little messy at this time. He felt that he could not calm down at all. He took a long breath and then said: "If you are worthy of the title of Poet Immortal, let's not worry about it for now. Let's just talk about this poem. All I can say is that it is extraordinary."

He took another deep breath, organized his language, and continued: "Anyway, I have never felt Li Bai's unrestrained confidence in the poets written by Teacher Ye before. This is what you just said, he Is it different from others?”

Feng Jiahua looked at Liu Ying and Professor Cao Lipao. Not only him, but Li Wenzheng and others also looked at them.

Although they all have their own understandings, at this moment they want to hear the more professional opinions of Professor Liu Ying and Mr. Cao.

Professor Liu Ying smiled and looked at Mr. Cao, "Mr. Cao, come on, I won't show my shame."

Mr. Cao didn't refuse. He smiled gently and said softly, "Everyone was reading this poem just now. I observed everyone's reaction. Everyone's performance was similar, with excitement and fascination on their faces. expression."

"I believe I don't need to say more about what is so good about Li Bai's poem. You can feel it yourself."

"What I want to talk to you about is the issue of the title Li Bai Shixian."

"Perhaps many people will feel that it may not be appropriate for Teacher Ye to crown Li Bai as a poet."

"But what I want to say is that through this song "Will Enter the Wine", we can indeed get a glimpse of the third and fourth."

"I think the reason why Mr. Ye calls Li Bai the Immortal of Poetry is not only that his poems are good enough, but more importantly, it should be said that he represents the kind of heroic, free and easy self-confidence, profound and ups and downs" Spirituality. Throughout the Ye Tang series and the 5000-year history of China, I have never seen such courage in a poet."

"It looks like an immortal, but it's not the work of a human being."

Listening to Mr. Cao's evaluation, everyone was thoughtful.

The title of Poet Immortal carries too much weight.

It's so heavy that no one dares to evaluate it easily.

Maybe everyone dared to speak and comment on the song "Yellow Crane Tower Sends Meng Haoran to Guangling" just now.

But when faced with the song "About to Enter the Wine", they seemed a little timid.

Even Chairman Li Wenzheng, as a major leader of the Classical Prosecutions Association, would not dare to make casual comments at this time.

This is the Classics Society!

This is the literary world!

Not a music association, let alone the music scene!

Among a group of literati, where is the leader who does not lead?
At this time, everyone is afraid of saying the wrong thing, and even more worried that one of their own wrong words will lead to unmanageable consequences.

With this song "About to Enter the Wine", can Li Bai secure his position as "Poetic Immortal"?

Chairman Li Wenzheng doesn’t know.

Professor Feng Jiahua also did not dare to speak.

They can't even decide!

In fact, both the poet Li Bai and the song "About Wine" have exceeded their own evaluation range.

Seeing no one responded, Mr. Cao didn't care and smiled again, "I know that everyone still has doubts about the title of Shixian. However, you can take a look at the third excerpt."

"I believe that after reading this third poem, you will understand what it means to be a 'fairy in poetry'."

Mr. Cao read faster. Just now, he had already finished reading the third poem.

Everyone also quickly looked down -

"Sleepwalking Tianmu Yin Staying Farewell"!
