Reborn great writer

The reason why Yang Jiezhi's lectures are so popular in Tsinghua University is not just because he is a professor of Tsinghua University and the honorary president of Tsinghua University. Perhaps these two identities have some factors, but if he has no ability or is If it is a work, there will not be so many people convinced.

It's as if Yang Jiezhi's title of Poetry Mountain Range is not just a joke, and his "Poetry Collection of Life Perception" is known as one of the highest-level works of modern Chinese poetry. Student advocacy is perfectly normal.

Yang Jiezhi straightened the bow tie on his chest, put his hands on the podium, leaned forward, and said, "I'm under a lot of pressure for this lecture. The last time I had this kind of pressure was when I gave a lecture at Yale University abroad. when."

Yale University is one of the top foreign universities, and it is normal for Yang Jiezhi to be under pressure to give a speech as a Chinese, but the venue for today's speech is Tsinghua University, Yang Jiezhi's home field, and there is even an auditor No one, what's the tension in this situation?The students felt incomprehensible.

They all quietly listened to Yang Jiezhi's continuation, only to see Yang Jiezhi chuckle: "It's natural that the knowledge of modern poetry in front of Su Xiaoyou is under a lot of pressure. I can't say anything about Su Xiaoyou. We are mutual confirmation." Bar."

There are definitely quite a few people surnamed Su in this classroom, but to be able to be called a friend of Professor Yang Jiezhi, it is estimated that only the one sitting in the front row in the entire classroom has such qualifications.

The students present were very surprised by what Yang Jiezhi said just now. This name is not surprising, because the news has reported that the relationship between Yang Jiezhi and Su Shichen is good. From Yang Jiezhi's " It can be seen that when "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" was published, he supported Su Shichen.They were surprised because of what Yang Jie said later.

What is mutual verification?Mutual confirmation must be based on an equal level to be able to conform to the meaning expressed by this word.Needless to say, Yang Jiezhi's height in the field of poetry, but what about Su Shichen?

Of course, Su Shichen's achievements in the field of novels are nothing to say, he claims to be a man who can master any genre of novels.But I've never heard of Su Shichen writing poems.Of course, it's even more impossible for these words to be compliments. According to Yang Jiezhi's status, there is no need for him to compliment Su Shichen.

"Professor Yang, you are a teacher when it comes to poetry, and we students can only ask for advice with an open mind." As a courtesy, Su Shichen got up first, then bowed slightly and said.

"Okay, now let me talk about the length of modern poetry." Yang Jiezhi began to give a lecture, "Modern poetry breaks away from the characteristics of ancient poetry that are gentle and honest, sad but not complaining, and is more free."

"And this freedom is most directly reflected in the length of the poetry anthology. Modern poetry can be expressive or narrative, and the length of the poetry anthology also exceeds that of ancient poetry."

"There must be many students who want to ask here. There are also many long poems in ancient poetry, just like Li Bai's "Books to Jiangxia Wei Taishou Liangzai" is a thousand-character long poem, and as the longest lyric poem in ancient China—— ——"Li scratch", the full text is nearly [-] words."

"Such long poems are rare in ancient poems, but there are many in modern poems, and some even have more words, just like a Tibetan "Biography of King Gesar" in China, The full text has more than 100 million words and more than 7000 lines. This type is a special epic among modern poems, and the Indian epic "Mahabharata" has as many as 500 million words. This is the freedom of the length of the poetry collection."

"Of course, I'm not saying that modern poetry is better than ancient poetry. Ancient poetry is the quintessence of our China. Maybe I will encounter a black tide when I say this. Compared with ancient poetry, modern poetry also has shortcomings." Yang Jiezhi turned his voice back, using The word 'simplified' was written in chalk on the blackboard.

"Broken bamboo, continuous bamboo; Feitu, chasing away. There are eight characters in total, from "Tan Ge" in "Wu Yue Chun Qiu". If I remember correctly, this should be the shortest ancient poem. One word expresses the hunting scene."

"The ancients spoke in classical Chinese, which is very concise, but ancient poetry summarizes classical Chinese. Therefore, in terms of simple words, modern poetry is definitely not as good as ancient poetry."

What Yang Jiezhi said is indeed true, just like Li Bai's most familiar "Thoughts in a Quiet Night", in just [-] words, it describes the scene of the poet looking up at the moon in the sky and missing his hometown alone in his room.But if this is taken as an example of modern poetry, Yu Guangzhong's "Under the Full Moon", the same homesickness under the moon, is expressed in one or two hundred words. .

Of course, "Thoughts in a Quiet Night" and "Under the Full Moon" cannot be compared ideologically at all, but the simplification of the language can be seen at a glance.

The shortest ancient poem, eight characters, the most famous short poem in modern poetry, Gu Cheng's "One Generation" is 22 characters without punctuation marks, Ezra Pound's "At a Paris Metro Station" is [-] characters, Compared with "Playing Songs", these short poems seem a bit long.

Yang Jiezhi made a concluding statement: "Modern poems are more casual in terms of subject matter, so they can be written longer, while ancient poems are more concise. A few days ago, I heard on the Internet that the question of whether ancient poems are better or modern poems is better. People from all walks of life have participated in it and expressed their views, which is a good thing, and progress can only be made through exchanges, and in my opinion, ancient poetry and modern poetry have their own advantages."

After Yang Jiezhi’s speech, many students discussed: “It has always been said that modern poetry is better than ancient poetry, but no matter how it is written, modern poetry is not as concise as ancient poetry.” “Yes, Professor Yang It makes perfect sense.”  …

Li Dongfang listened very carefully, and recorded all the things she thought were important in the notebook. The thick notebook was now empty with few pages left.Most of Su Shichen's attention was on Li Dongfang's body. With Li Dongfang's current expression, I was really worried that she would suddenly fall down.

"Student Su, do you have any other opinions, or do you want to refute?" Privately called Su Xiaoyou, but since the class has started, the address should be more formal.

Naturally, Yang Jiezhi would not open his mouth for no reason, and his relationship with Su Shichen was even less likely to be to make things difficult for him. Instead, he saw Su Shichen's eyebrows raised slightly, and the corners of his mouth turned up. This appearance is clearly different. opinion.

"I don't have any doubts about Professor Yang's point of view. Modern poetry and ancient poetry do have their own advantages, but I just heard a classmate say that modern poetry cannot be simplified like ancient poetry. Not quite right, if you want to simplify it, you can do it, even simpler than the "Playing Songs" that Professor Yang said just now." Su Shichen's words attracted the attention of many people in the classroom.

The whole poem "Tan Ge" only has eight characters, less than "Tan Ge"?And the subject matter has to be modern poetry, is this possible?

"Student Su, please show us in the classroom." Yang Jiezhi didn't look like a professor at all, and started to boo. Knowing how long it has been delayed and there is no news, it is understandable for Yang Jiezhi to do so.

"In modern poetry, the content of the poem can be reduced to at least one word." Su Shichen made an unbelievable remark.

One word modern poetry?At least in the minds of all the students in the classroom, there is no such poem.

The seats in this classroom are connected by two seats, just like the one that used chalk to draw [-] lines in the middle of the table a long time ago. It is divided into three rows, and the middle row is connected by two tables. It can seat four people.Su Shichen, Li Dongfang, Zhang Tingting and a classmate they didn't know were sitting together.

Zhang Tingting touched Li Dongfang with her elbow, looked at Su Shichen from the side and asked in a low voice, "Dongdong, is Su Shichen really out of his mind? How can there be a one-word poem?"

Su Shichen's position is very good. First of all, he is at the front of the classroom, and he is still in the middle. This way, almost all the students are looking at him. This feeling is a bit of a feeling of attention.

It's a pity that this kind of gaze is not the kind of worshiping gaze, but the kind of suspicious gaze.

"Then I'll make a fool of myself. The title of this poem is called "Life", and the content of this poem..." Su Shichen deliberately made a long sound, "."

Putting Su Shichen's words together is——

"Life"

.

That's probably the case, but this state of incoherent preface is considered a poem?

When you write a poem, at least others must admit that you are a poem, right? Otherwise, you just write a title, and then you say "ah" and you say it is a poem. Who will agree with it except you yourself?Su Shichen is about the same.

Many people have such doubts in their hearts, and then they have whispered comments, "Is this counted?" Write several poems!"...

It was at this time that Professor Yang Jiezhi said with admiration: "Life is one piece, the king of family, friendship, hatred, etc., are inextricably linked. No matter how long a person lives, he cannot escape. If you come up with one, it is impossible for anyone to transcend such a state of life, and there is no better word to describe life! Wonderful!"

Now, the voice of doubt is gone. Many times, you didn't know the meaning, but under the praise of others, you suddenly realized that it turned out to be so powerful, and you started to praise it.This kind of following suit is possessed by everyone, and the person touted is Yang Jiezhi, who has a very high achievement in the field of poetry, so the crowd echoed even more after this kind of praise.

The lecture continued, and now Su Shichen was more low-key, drooping his face, and didn't change his expression. After listening to a class, I have to say that Professor Yang's level is very high, and the whole class is full of fun.

The bell rang for the end of get out of class, "That's it for today, this class is very enjoyable, thank you for your cooperation." Yang Jiezhi packed up all the things in the lecture, "Su Xiaoyou, if you have time, come to my office one trip."

"Okay." Su Shichen nodded.

"Hey, I didn't expect you to write poems?" Zhang Tingting talked a lot, "It's still such a very difficult one-character poem."

Su Shichen used to read novels, and for some of the characters in the novels, he thought that the author wrote them to make up the number of words, but now he understands that in life, there will be no shortage of such words, buns. Such a role would be unreal.

Su Shichen shook his head and did not speak. This one-character poem was not made up by Su Shichen, but a poem written by Bei Dao, a representative of obscurity poetry, whose content is shorter than the title, and is the shortest poem in the world.

"Squad leader, what's wrong with you?" Su Shichen's expression changed, and he suddenly shouted.
