"Shu De said that good poetry is naturally good."

Chen Fangyin stroked his beard with approval in his eyes.If he had doubts about Xie Shen's talent before, this time he truly admired him.

Almost all scholars in Ming Dynasty knew how to compose poems, and even propositional poems were not difficult to compose after pondering, but it is absolutely beyond human ability to compose such exquisite poems as "the wild wind outside the gate opens the white lotus".

The style of poetry existed in the heyday of the Tang Dynasty. Although people in the Ming Dynasty could write good poems, they were much worse than those in the Tang Dynasty.

This poem by Xie Shen made Chen Fangyin vaguely see the strength of Tang poetry.

Chen Fangyin pretended to be a harsh person, but at this moment he couldn't be harsh at all.Invisibly, Xie Shen's goal has been achieved.

The order of his three poems is very particular and carefully designed.The first two poems are of similar realm, but the poems are of higher status than the words, so they are placed in the back. As for the last poem, Xie Shen used it to touch the heart of the Great Master.

Before that, he had already had an in-depth understanding of the Great Master. Judging from the reviews he collected, the Great Master was a typical orthodox literati.

Although literati are proud of their talents, they also cherish each other for talents.If you have no talent and want to pay homage, he will abandon you like a shoe.But if you have poems and books in your stomach, he will take the initiative to make friends with you.

Even though the status of Xie Shen and the great master are a hundred times different, it is not impossible for the two of them to see each other right and have a year-end friendship.

The great master is in his fifties this year, and most of his popular poems in the literary world when he was young were in Taige style.The so-called Taige refers to the cabinet and the Imperial Academy, also known as the pavilion.The style of Taige is graceful and elegant, and was highly praised by the "Three Yangs" of the cabinet at that time, and it has been popular for a long time.

But this kind of poetry has a fatal problem that it is empty and lifeless.There is nothing new in its content other than describing the grand scene of peace and praising the saints.The original intention of poetry is to lyrically express one's will, not to flatter according to Cheng Zhu's Confucianism.After a long time, the literary and poetry circles are like a pool of stagnant water, and it is difficult to produce good works.

Xie Shen is naturally very dissatisfied with the Taige style, which is a poetic style that stifles human nature, but this kind of poetic style has been popular for nearly a hundred years from Yongle to Chenghua, and it has not completely faded by the Hongzhi Dynasty.

The great master Chen Fangyin came from that era, and he must have a clear understanding of the disadvantages of the Taige style.Once the literati put on the shackles, it is absolutely impossible to write good poems that are independent of the world.

Taige style is a bit like parallel prose in history. Although it looks gorgeous, it is out of reality. It is difficult to have one or two shocking masterpieces.Han Yu Liu Zongyuan in the middle Tang Dynasty was able to advocate the ancient prose movement against flashy parallel prose.From the advent of the Taige style until the early days of Hongzhi, no one stood up to really speak out against the Taige style.In this regard, Li Dongyang, the helm of the Tuling School of Poetry, cannot be regarded as a role model, and his poems are still difficult to break out of this circle.

Tang poetry is undoubtedly the pinnacle of poetry in all dynasties.Although Song poetry is magnificent and splendid, it has lost the charm of Tang poetry.In contrast, Yuan poetry, which is generally designated as Yeluzi, is closer to Tang poetry.The Taige style in the Ming Dynasty is more like taking the old road of Song poetry, and this road is even more biased.The so-called "Song poetry is deep, but it is far away from Tang Dynasty; Yuan poetry is shallow, but it is close to Tang Dynasty." This is the truth.

Chen Fangyin knew the disadvantages of Taige style but dared not speak out. When he searched for him thousands of times in the crowd, he suddenly looked back, only to find that the man was in the dimly lit place.

In Chen Fangyin's view, the sentence "Pedestrians fall from the cable at the beginning of the month, and the wild wind outside the door blooms white lotus" seems ordinary, but it is true love in the ordinary, quite similar to He Jizhen's sentence "I don't know who cuts the thin leaves, The spring breeze in February is like scissors".

Chen Fangyin has been searching for a long time but failed to find the essence of Tang poetry, but found it in a 13-year-old boy, which made him surprised and happy, ashamed and proud.

But he can't fully express his true thoughts, which is not conducive to the growth of teenagers.

Young people naturally have to beat a lot, if they hold it too high, they may fall even worse.

Although Xie Shen didn't wait for the Grand Master's sincere praise, he knew that he had left an important place in the Grand Master's heart.This is due to Xie Shen's understanding of the Ming Dynasty literati.Xie Shen, who was born in a professional class in his previous life, still has some insights into the mental state of the literati in the Ming Dynasty.

The literati in the Ming Dynasty were actually in a state of struggle.On the one hand, they are eager to break free from the shackles of fame and fortune like those celebrities in the Northern Song Dynasty, to be Su Dongpo's teeth and Xin Jia's tongue.But on the other hand, the huge real interests made them unwilling to give up their fame and wealth, and they often hesitated, and finally gave birth to the somewhat deformed poetry style of Taige style.

Concocting a pavilion will not solve anything, it will only make the celebrities of this generation more hesitant, and to put it bluntly, they will doubt life.

To paraphrase Fan Zhongyan's words, "Advance is also worrying, retreat is also worrying".

This is an era when literati and the emperor ruled the world together, and it is a paradise for literati to breed.In the midst of this intoxication of singing and singing, Xie Shen used the simplest language to write such a stunning and refined poem as "the wild wind outside the gate blooms white lotus", which is simply deafening.

Although the great master Chen Fangyin has been using Taige style to paralyze himself, when he hears the poems with the style of Tang poetry again, his heart will still burst with infinite passion.

Refreshing and refined, with something to say, this is the function that poetry should have!
It can be said that from the very beginning, Xie Shen felt the weakness of the great master and set up a psychological trap.Chen Fangyin, who doesn't understand psychology, Mr. Chen naturally didn't understand that this was a trick laid out by Xie Shen, so he plunged into it.

When it comes to fighting with soldiers, attacking the heart is the top priority.In order for Grand Master to fully recognize him, Xie Shen needs to carve his mark in his heart!

It didn't take long for the boat to berth on the wharf of the island in the middle of the lake. The great master Chen Fangyin, who was still immersed in his poems, realized that the boat had docked only after being reminded by Deputy Envoy Lu Yuan Lu.

The two officials got off the boat one after another, and Xie Shen and Wang Shouwen followed.

At this time, in the hexagonal pavilion next to the earth mountain, a group of "actors" arranged by Xie Shen in advance were already in place, waiting for Xie Shen to gather together.

This is actually a big gamble.Xie Shen had earlier heard from the steward of the Lu Mansion, your side, that the Grand Master and Deputy Envoy Lu Yancha had a special liking for Cuihu.This time the great master will definitely go to see his friends from the same year when he visits Shaoxing, so Xie Shen bet that they will definitely go to Cuihu to enjoy it!
After receiving the exact news that the grand master had arrived in Lu's residence, he immediately called Xie Pi to inform the "actors".

At this time, everything should be ready and only the east wind is owed!
