Saint of the Confucian way

Li Fanming looked helplessly at governor Yao and said, "Mr. Yao, I heard your class in those years, but after so many years, you can't always ask me questions as a student in the school. I'm already a Jinshi and don't have to participate in the imperial examination."

"As a member of the building competition society, you helped Fang Xusheng. I asked you once what happened?" magistrate Yao smiled.

"Yes! Speak quickly! You are Fang Xusheng's good friend. It's interesting to evaluate Zhang Longxiang's poetry."

"Yes! Yes!"

Li Fanming saw that everyone was booing, so he only said, "OK, OK, I said not yet?"

The crowd smiled at Li Fanming.

"There is nothing special about the two sentences in the first couplet:" I heard of the Dongting water in the past, but now I go to the Yueyang Tower ". However, if you look at the whole poem, you will find that there is a slight relief between now and the past, which is like ending a wish. In addition, the Dongting Lake and Yueyang Tower here, like the" pass of the moon and the Han Dynasty in the Qin Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty ", should be interpreted as: I heard of the Dongting Lake and Yueyang Tower in the past, and finally arrived today It is one, not isolated. "

The crowd nodded softly.

"In fact, Zhang Longxiang's last song has written the Dongting Lake very magnificently. In August, the lake level, the emptiness and emptiness are too clear. The vapor evaporates the clouds and dreams, and the waves shake Yueyang City. These four sentences make the Dongting Lake boundless, undulating, and even engulf Yueyang City, which is written as spectacular as the sea."

"However, the two sentences in the chin couplet," Wu and Chu crack in the southeast, and heaven and earth float day and night ", are even better than the previous one, which makes me convinced. These two sentences say that looking up from the stairs, the Dongting Lake is so vast that it divides Wu and Chu, and the lake water is broad, as if heaven and earth, sun and moon are floating in the water. If it is a little extended, it can be said that the rise and fall of the sun and moon seem to take place in the Dongting Lake. Such a magnificent poem is rare , the previous one is far from comparable. If the previous one is to write the Dongting Lake as a sea, then this one will write the Dongting Lake as an independent boundary, nurturing the sun and moon. It is because of these two sentences that I have not spoken for a long time, I have to praise them. On the magnificent momentum, Zhang Longxiang is no worse than Fang Yun. Moreover, Zhang Longxiang's poems seem to be thicker than Fang Yun. "

"Well said!" magistrate Yao first praised it, and the other scholars who opened the country also echoed it one after another.

There are not only Qiguo scholars nearby, but also scholars from other countries. When they hear Li Fanming say so, they are filled with emotion. Fang Yun's friends are so broad-minded, and the opponent of Fang Yun doesn't hesitate to praise. It must be worth making friends with Fang Yun.

Li Fanming turned his words and said, "after all, Zhang Longxiang is not omnipotent or perfect. I have read all his poems. The blending of feelings and scenes is his characteristic and advantage. However, he seems to have suffered too much from ten years of imprisonment and is still difficult to completely release his feelings. For example, Chunwang" The sadness of "feeling when flowers splash tears, hate other birds startle the heart," the regret of "looking at Chang'an in the northwest, pity countless mountains," the yearning of "an inch of heart is to serve the country, and two lines of tears are to miss relatives," the resentment of seeing flowers full of tears, not sharing the words of the king of Chu, "the resentment of seeing friends become new ghosts, and looking for small poems in the knife cluster angrily" are countless. When there are too many such poems, the feeling is more important than the scenery, Even more important than poetry, it seems to be a bit of a distraction. His talent is to express his feelings too much. Compared with Fang Xusheng, his pattern and mind seem to be a line away. "

"This view is very fresh and wonderful!" magistrate Yao smiled, and the other scholars showed a deep thought.

Li Fanming added: "Of course, this is his misfortune and his luck. Without the disaster of ten years' imprisonment, he may not be able to write this kind of good poetry with abundant emotion on paper. We can't blame him because his personal feelings in his poetry are too strong and destroy the whole poetry. If the poetry has blood, the overflow of emotion is the inseparable part of his poetry blood, we can't say You can dislike it, but you can't completely deny it. "

Nearby scholars have called it.

"As for the last four sentences, they are obviously not as valuable to poetry as the first four sentences, but for him, they are far more important than the first four sentences. If you and I were Zhang Longxiang, what's the use of the vast Dongting Lake and the spectacular Yueyang Tower? When I came to Shengyuan continent, I didn't have a smooth connection with my relatives and friends. When I first arrived here, I was acclimatized and had to compare with Wen, and I had to be accompanied by a lone boat. I think of the north and I found that I had no ability to stop the war around the Terran. I could only lean on the railing upstairs to cry for the suffering people and the good rivers and mountains of the Terran. If this poem is interpreted independently, it would be so. If it is connected with the previous poem, it would be hard to say. "

"It's hard to say, go on!" magistrate Yao smiled.

Li Fanming looked around helplessly and found that everyone's expression was very similar to that of governor Yao. He shook his head and said: "If it is related to today's affairs, the last four sentences of this poem are not as good as the previous one! Relatives and friends have no word to understand, but the old illness has a lonely boat, which implies that they are excluded by the Shengyuan mainland. Only the lonely boat" Qingguo "supports him. The rest of the scholars of the Terran have preconceived that Fang Xusheng is the first of the four talents. These two sentences are complaining and crying Sue. "

"As for the 'military horse Guanshan north, with tears flowing from the pavilion', his intention is even more vicious. This is obviously mocking Fang Yun. The north of Jingguo has started a war, and he still has the leisure to be the governor of the two states. Zhang Longxiang is different, but he is a meritorious hero in the battle between the two boundary mountains, so he can only stand on the tower of Yueyang and cry for the great rivers and mountains of the fallen human race."

A person asked, "brother Fanming, is your interpretation too... Extreme?"

Li Fanming said reluctantly, "I don't want this interpretation, but since he has accepted the post of Taifu of Qingguo, this poem can only be interpreted by me. However, I have to say that Zhang Longxiang is full of talent. He clearly wants to participate in the cultural conference, but he has thrown out two good poems one after another. He is really not an outstanding talent."

"Alas, count carefully. With Fang Xusheng's climbing Yueyang Tower and Zhang Longxiang's two poems, it is basically certain that there will be no better poems in the Yellow Crane Tower in five years. The crown of the world's first tower has fallen on the head of Yueyang Tower." a Qingguo Jinshi was helpless.

"Not necessarily."

Governor Yao said, "poetry is inferior to people, so it's not a shame to lose to Fang Xusheng and Zhang Mingzhou. It's a shame to lose and refuse to admit it. After this cultural meeting, the building society was naturally dissolved, but now we still have to go to Yueyang Tower, so we can't lose the reputation of the Yellow Crane Tower!"

"What your excellency said is."

"We are basically quitting the fight, but it seems that today's cultural meeting is more interesting than expected. Now the five aristocratic family heads of Jingguo should have arrived in Yueyang Tower. I don't know whether Liu Shan will come or not. If Liu Shan comes, there will be a good play."

"It's a pity that Jianmei Gong has been out for many years and hasn't returned yet. He missed the grand event."

"There is no way. The honing of the new great Confucianism is unusual, ranging from three years to more than ten years, and even many great Confucianism died in honing."

"I hope those great Confucians who are in danger can have a good mid autumn festival," Li Fanming said.
