Do you know the long song of laughter?

Chapter 266 The literati of the Song Dynasty were so good at playing
Su Xun is not a rigid person, but he is very strict in educating his sons. Otherwise, it would be impossible to train both sons to become talents, and at the same time, they will be named on the gold list and become a good story.

Su Shi had a bold temperament and was a bit out of touch, so he was often scolded by his father.

This led to Su Shi not liking to be alone with his father.

So when setting off, Su Shi bumped into Li An's carriage.

On the carriage, Su Shi smiled and said: "Ziqian, according to legend, this Jingxian Tower was built not long after the founding of the Song Dynasty. It has been a hundred years. The Mid-Autumn Poetry Festival and Shangyuan Poetry Festival in Bianjing are held there every year. It has been nearly a hundred years, but unfortunately, very few poems have been left on the walls of the fourth floor.

It's a pity that I'm not very good at poetry, otherwise I would have to compete. "

Even though Su Shi was called the Immortal of Ci in later generations, he was a complete monk in terms of poetry.

Li An remembered that someone in later generations studied Su Shi's poems and found that Su Shi's poems passed down to later generations were all written when he was in his thirties.

Therefore, people say that he is not very good at writing poetry, which is really not modest.

Of course, as a literati who has been named on the gold medal list, it is impossible for him not to know poetry. It can only be said that Su Shi can write now, but he is not good at it.

Later generations speculated that the reason Su Shi had few poems in his early period was because of his father's influence.

To put it simply, the so-called Ci Pai name in the Tang Dynasty was actually a singing method with a fixed rhythm, and the Ci was actually the lyrics.

Because poets and lyricists are all emotional, when they feel depressed, they need words to express their inner emotions.

After Su Shi was named on the gold list, he was in high spirits and focused on realizing his ambitions, so naturally he was not in the mood to study these things.

The famous poets and poets in ancient times all had one thing in common: they were basically depressed.

In fact, in Ang Lee's view, it is more about experience.

Later, after suffering setbacks and blows, I began to use poetry to express my emotions.

Although poetry was loved by literati in ancient times, it was still a minor path after all.

"With Brother Zizhan's talent and learning, if you work hard, you will definitely be able to create masterpieces that will be passed down through the ages." Li An said with a smile.

And the names of these word brands also have a prefix, which is Jiaofangsi.

Under his influence, his two sons also paid little attention to poetry.

On the contrary, the original word brand names and rhyme patterns were handed down from the Tang Dynasty.

In other words, Su Shi in the early stage was too smooth.

To put it bluntly, it is sung for guests in places like Goulanwashe.

"Brother Zizhan just didn't put his mind on it, but poetry is a minor topic after all, so it's right not to worry about it," Li An said.

Su Xun did not study hard until he was in his twenties. He was so focused on gaining fame that he naturally had no time to study poetry.

Su Shi didn't hear what Li An was referring to, and smiled and said: "What you said is somewhat consistent with my father. Let's not talk about it anymore, Zi Qian, how are you preparing the poems? If you can attend the poetry meeting today, If you become famous, people in Bianjing will sing your poems in the future.”

"Haha, Zi Qian is joking. I still have some self-awareness. It's okay to write some poems to fool those brothel girls, but I wouldn't dare to think about it spreading through the ages." Su Shi shook his head.

Su Shi's words are sought after and loved by later generations, but most people don't know what Su Shi went through to write these words.

This is why most ancient poems contain deep metaphors.

Ci was not taken seriously until the end of the Tang Dynasty. The reason for this is not that people in the Tang Dynasty did not write Ci.

Naturally, it is difficult to reach the level of elegance, and any literati with some status would not even bother to write about it.

When the economy of the Song Dynasty prospered, the court also gave preferential treatment to civil servants. Among the bureaucratic class of the Song Dynasty, all qualified officials kept domestic prostitutes. This lifestyle of singing and dancing girls strongly attracted many literati and stimulated their creations. inspiration.

What goes up and down the road works, and Ci gradually became the mainstream. Many people regard the popularity of Ci as the prosperity of culture.

But from Li An's point of view, it was even more sad.

It's not that Ang Lee has any prejudice against poetry. On the contrary, he prefers poetry and has no prejudice at all.

It is this comfortable life that corrupts the upper class.

The warm wind made the tourists drunk, making Hangzhou a Bianzhou.

This poem is the most true portrayal.

"Haha, Brother Zizhan will know when the time comes." Li An said with a smile.

Su Shi smiled hoarsely: "Zi Qian is also addicted, so I'll wait and see."

After chatting all the way for about half an hour, the carriage stopped.

Li An and Su Shi got off the carriage, and a five-story building with a majestic appearance that looked like a pagoda but not a pagoda appeared in front of them.

Jingxian Tower is in the shape of a hexagon, with eaves on each floor's six corners, and a string of lanterns hung on them.

It was already dark at this time, but there were a string of lanterns hanging from the six corners of each floor of Jingxian Tower. There were hundreds of them in total, illuminating the surroundings as if it were daytime.

The two of them met up with Su Xun and Su Zhe in front and walked towards Jingxian Tower.

Jingxian Tower does not accept outsiders today, and only those with invitations can enter.

The Su family's entourage came forward and handed over the invitation, and the boy at the door quickly ushered the four people in with a smile.

As soon as you enter the gate, you feel like you have entered another world. A group of dancers are dancing to the sound of music on the stage set up in the middle.

The dancers are as light as swallows, and their lotus steps support the wind. Suddenly, the water sleeves are flung open, and the sleeves are dancing, like fairies from the sky descending to the mortal world. Their willow waists are twisted in lotus steps, as if the fairies are contaminated with the breath of the mortal world. Can't look away.

"As graceful as a startling giant, as graceful as a swimming dragon, with brilliant autumn chrysanthemums, and magnificent spring pine trees. Good!" Su Shi couldn't help but applaud.

There were groups of people dressed as scholars around the stage, admiring the dance. I don’t know if it was because they were fascinated by the dance, but even though there were many people, they were very quiet.

Su Shi's applause broke the tranquility, and many people looked over.

As if he wanted to see who was so incompetent that he would scream on such an occasion.

Su Shi's applause not only attracted the attention of others, but also brought Su Xun back to his senses. His old face turned red, he glared at him, and said angrily: "I asked you to study just to show off on such an occasion. of?"

The passage just mentioned by Su Shi comes from "Ode to the Goddess of Luo". Although it is somewhat inappropriate for Cao Zhi's brother-in-law to write such an article to his sister-in-law, Cao Zhi's talent cannot be denied.

The author is the talented Cao Zhi, and the protagonist Zhen Mi is the queen.

But Su Shi used it to praise some dancers, which naturally made Su Xun very angry.

Of course, it is also possible that Su Xun felt that he had just been distracted while admiring the dance, and his old face was a bit unbearable.

As for what happened, only he himself can know.

Li An secretly sighed, this Song Dynasty scholar was so good at playing.

Although this poetry meeting was not officially held, Hanlin bachelors like Hai Wenren were able to attend, which shows that it has great influence.

In addition, Bianjing is also the capital of the Song Dynasty, which is considered to be of high standard.

However, on this occasion, when Li An came in, he felt like he was in a brothel.
