Modern Couples' Life in Women's Society

Chapter 42 Poems
"It's fine if it's not the worst. The original sentence is 'It can be seen from a distance but not played with. It's the sentence in Ailian's words." It took a lot of hard work to memorize it in school, and Xiao Tong accidentally glanced at Mo Li. The blush that had just receded from his eyes came up again, he pretended to answer calmly, and secretly scolded himself and Mo Li, scolded himself for being worthless, why was he blushing, and scolded Mo Li for not knowing how to scold, but he was annoyed. It really exists.

"It's a good thing you changed it, it's even more inappropriate to use the original sentence, Ailian said? Who wrote it?" Mo Li looked at Xiao Tong's face blushing again, feeling a sense of accomplishment for a successful prank. Mood, I feel that I should review myself, how can this be the case as a man.

"It seems that the surname is Zhou, what is the name of Zhou... Well, anyway, it is Zhou, and I can't remember the name clearly. Do you want to listen to it? It's a whole article. It's well written. It's rare for me to remember it. Maybe it will be in the future." I’ll forget it all.” Xiao Tong was a little terrified when he thought of Mo Li’s praise before, but it’s rare that he still remembers it, good things to share with everyone!In addition to the excitement, the tension just now subsided a lot, and after silently saying this is the empress a few times, my heart finally calmed down a little.

"Okay, then read it to me." Mo Li also adjusted her mentality. Today's behavior is a bit too much. She has always kept her calm. The state of mind just now is really not advisable, so she restrained her thoughts Waiting for Xiao Tong's poem, but the good mood continued.

"Well, good, Ai Lian said that the flowers of plants and trees on land and water are very lovely. Jin Tao Yuanming loves chrysanthemums alone; since Li Tang, the world loves peonies; I love lotus only when it emerges from the mud without being stained, washed with clear ripples. Not demonic, straight in the middle and straight in the outside, not vines or branches, fragrant far away and clear, pavilions and pavilions planted quietly, can be viewed from a distance but not played with. I call chrysanthemums, the hermits of flowers; peonies, the rich and noble flowers; lotus Hey, the gentleman of flowers. Hey! The love of chrysanthemums is seldom heard of by Empress Tao; The complacency is long gone.

"This can't be regarded as poetry, it's not the system of poetry, but the content is very good, and the implication is very novel." Mo Li listened seriously, and after affirming it, she immediately had a problem, "However, who is Jin Tao Yuanming? Since Li Tang Come? What do you mean?"

Xiao Tong was dumbfounded, she hadn't thought so much before, and poetry?This is an argumentative essay. Could it be that there is no argumentative essay in this world, what about words?
"This is an argumentative prose, not a poem. I don't know who that Tao Yuanming is. He should be a relatively famous person in the Jin era. Li Tang should also be of the era." Xiao Tong explained, she knew how to say These dynasties, but now I can only say that I don't know, she regrets secretly, she was too proud just now, and didn't think so much.

"Discussion prose?" Mo Li heard it for the first time.

"You don't know argumentative prose? What about the words, do you know the words?" Xiao Tong seriously doubts that poetry is the only thing in this era.

"Well, I don't know, I only know poems and other articles."

"Then Mo Li, is the poem you are talking about, um... a literary theme and form of expression produced for chanting words and aspirations. There are many themes, including four-character, five-character, five-character, seven-character, etc. The requirements for writing poetry are strict. There must be rhyme and antithesis, which meet the requirements of starting, inheriting, turning, and combining, right?" Although Xiao Tong is not good at poetry, he still knows the basic concepts. (Note: The concept of poetry comes from Baidu Encyclopedia)
"Yes, you summed it up very well, but it's not perfect." Mo Li replied seriously.

"I know, I don't remember very clearly." Xiao Tong wanted to know so much that it is very, very rare, and she should not be too demanding.

"Then what about the argumentative prose and words you just mentioned?" Mo Li asked again.

"The Ai Lian said just now is a typical argumentative essay. Argumentative essays are also argumentative essays, which use the style of "prose" to "discuss", or "prose" centered on elaborating a certain point of view. It does not focus on rationality and logic, but focuses on the description of images and the expression of emotions. It has the characteristics of lyricism, imagery and philosophy."

"Ci is another style of poetry, another literary style. Ci is also called melody, long and short sentences, and poems. It seems to be a poem written to match the feast music. Cipai is the name of the tone of the Ci. There are regulations on the total number of sentences, the number of sentences, the number of words in each sentence, and the level, which is the same as poetry." Xiao Tong thought about it carefully, and the concept he gave was quite complete and objective . (Remarks: From Baidu Encyclopedia).

"Am I not clear?" Xiao Tong asked after seeing Mo Li pondering for a while without saying anything.

"It's clear, but the argumentative prose and Ailian said that it can be used as an example, so it's a bit clearer, but I still can't understand the words you said, can you give me an example?"

"Well... let me think about it. I used to like the words of Li Qingzhao, Ouyang Xiu, and Xin Qiji, but I can't remember them all." Xiao Tong's voice was very weak, and he racked his brains to think of only a few words of Li Qingzhao.

"'Zhengdu, Zhengdu, startled a pool of gulls and herons.' And 'Do you know? Do you know? It should be green, fat, red and thin.' How can you understand it?" Xiao Tong knew the answer after asking.

"No." Sure enough, Mo Li's answer verified Xiao Tong's thoughts, looking at Mo Li's curious eyes, he felt ashamed.

"Then I can't help it, I don't remember." When Xiao Tong said this, his expression was a little weird because he was struggling between righteousness and guilt.

"Then do you remember which Ci Pai there are? You said that there are regulations on the total number of sentences, the number of sentences, the number of words, and the level of different Ci Pai. You always remember the rules?" Mo Li was a little speechless when he heard Xiao Tong's answer. Remember these, what she said just now is quite clear, Mo Li is full of hope, who knows...

"I don't remember..." Xiao Tong was really ashamed this time, and his voice was much softer.

"Don't remember?" Mo Li's voice was a little higher, and her tone was uncommonly ups and downs, she was very surprised. "When you were in the study before, you studied everything very seriously, and you learned it quickly, and you remembered it all. Why don't you remember it?"

"That's different. Those are things I have to learn, otherwise how will I survive in the future? I don't have to worry about anything now that there is a prince in the mansion, but I can't rely on him for the rest of my life. Those poems are not like that, so..." Xiao Tong After explaining carefully, the words continued.

"Besides, it's not that I don't remember all of it. I still remember several kinds of Cipai. The few lines I just read are like Mengling's Cipai. Well, there are also my favorites Yijianmei, Dielianhua, and Slow Voice, I remember all of these, it’s not that I don’t remember anything.” Xiao Tong’s voice was a little excited again.
