Poetry has its own body, there are sentences, there are arrangements, there are music houses, and there are songs. One of the interesting phenomena is that some of the longer poems are often evaluated by posterity as if they were better than leaving only four sentences.
Among them, there are many famous works of the Tang Dynasty, such as Li Bai, Liu Zongyuan, Gao Shi and so on.
Liu Zongyuan has an original poem of the Seven Ancient "Fishermen" as follows:
The fisherman night is in the west of the rock, and Xiao Ji Qingxiang burns Chu bamboo. Smoke sales sunrise does not see anyone, but a sound of green water. Looking back at the middle stream under the sky, there are no heartless clouds on the rocks.
In the "Cold Fasting Night Talk", It is said that Su Shi believes that after cutting the last two sentences, it is better to use them as a poem:
Liu ZiHou's poem said: "Fisherman night in the west rock, Xiao Ji Qing Xiangran Chu Bamboo ..." Dongpo commented on the poetry cloud: "Take the strange fun as the sect, and the abnormal way as the fun." Familiar, this poem has a strange interest. The last two sentences, although not necessarily.
Some people proposed, some people objected, and Gao Tang's "Collection of Tang Poems" mentioned:
Or Su is rated as a dang, not a knower. This poem is full of air, not similar to the late Tang Dynasty, and is in the last two sentences, not a snake foot.
Li Dongyang of the Ming Dynasty, in the Lutang Poetry, also supported the evaluation of Dongpo:
Liu Zihou "look back at the middle stream under the sky, and there are no heartless clouds on the rock", Po Weng wants to cut these two sentences, and the poet class is inevitably the disease of the dwarf to see the scene. If Yu Yu stops using the first four sentences, how is it different from the late Tang Dynasty?
Su Shi believes that the poem can only leave the first four sentences, and after deleting the last two sentences, it is a seven-word ancient sentence:
The fisherman night is in the west of the rock, and Xiao Ji Qingxiang burns Chu bamboo. Smoke sales sunrise does not see anyone, but a sound of green water.
However, the Ming Dynasty believed that this poem had the characteristics of a late Tang dynasty poet. It is generally believed that late Tang poetry is inferior to Middle Tang poetry, and Middle Tang poetry is not as good as Sheng Tang poetry. Why? Old Street thinks that the problem is in the last two sentences: the smoke is sold at sunrise and no one is seen, and the sound of the landscape is green.
If you add the last two sentences, the end is: look back at the middle stream under the sky, and there are no heartless clouds on the rock.
What is the difference between the two endings? It lies in one close and one release, one far and one near. One or the other. Therefore, Li Dongyang believes that people who conform to Su Shi are dwarfs watching dramas and people following the clouds.
As for which one is better, the reader has his own good.
Gao Shi's "Weeping Single Father Liang Shaofu" also has this phenomenon, and its full poem is:
Kai Zhen tears, see the Book of the Day before the King. The night platform is lonely today, and the only one is the son of the cloud residence. The domain used to explore the clouds and climbed the Fu landscape. In the same boat, under the South Pu, looking at the west river of the moon. Chi kuodo parted, silk to life and death. The Nine Plains are wherever they are, and everything is the same. The Jinshan disciples are E'e, and the Si people have gone into hiding. It is often lu and thin, and after death, the family is poor. The wife is far away, and there is no brother. Ten years of hard work, one official always smacks himself. The clouds will be able to cause, and the day will be over. Only the name behind him, empty and near.
Wu Qiao, a Qing Dynasty man, said in the "Poetry of the Hearth":
The five ancients and the five absolutes can also be put together. Gao Shi's poem "Weeping Liang Shaofu" only takes the first four sentences to become a must, and the following are all laid out.
Five ancient poems and five words can be put in or out, that is, long or short. The first four sentences of Gao Shi's "Crying Liang Shaofu" are a good sentence, and the next 100 words are all unfolded narratives.
It is estimated that Wu Qiao was influenced by He Huanggong, who said in the "Poetry of the Wine Garden":
In the best sentences of poetry, there are those who are suitable for making absolute sentences, and there are those who are suitable for writing rhythmic poems. For example, Gao Shi's "Weeping Single Father Liang Shaofu", which is a long ancient poem, and the "Collection of Differences" contains the praise of the Qiting Linggong, but the first four sentences are short chapters:
"Kai Zhen wept and saw the Book of the Day before the King." The night platform is lonely, suspected to be Zi Yunju. ”
Looking at the original poem at the same time, the words are short and long, and the desolation is everything. Although it does not contain who deletes, it will also open the new century.
In the Tang Dynasty Xue Yong weak "Ji Yi Ji" recorded the famous story of Wang Zhizhuo, Wang Changling, and Gao Shi's three-person flag pavilion gambling wine, in which the lingren sang Gao Shi's works, they sang the first four sentences of "Weeping Liang Shaofu":
Chang Ling and other private acquaintances said: "My generation is good at poetry names, and if we do not determine their own A and B, we can now secretly observe the praises of the various people, and if the poems are in the lyrics, they are excellent." The Russians sang at the festival, saying: "The cold rain and the river enter Wu at night, and Pingming sends guests to Chushan Lonely." Luoyang relatives and friends asked each other, a piece of ice heart in the jade pot." Chang Ling drew his hand on the wall and said, "A perfect sentence." Looking for another recitation: "Open the tears, see the book of the day before the king." The night platform is lonely, just like Zi Yunju." The right one leads the hand to draw the wall: "A perfect sentence." "Collected Differences"
He Pei said that he did not know that the person who deleted this long poem into a sentence must be a great poet of the Tang Dynasty.
Two Tang poems are also mentioned in the Poetry of the Wine Garden, one of which is Qi Ji's Swordsman:
The sword is drawn around the wreckage, and the song finally goes out. The west wind is full of snow, where to repay the favor. Courage to die is commonplace, and light is not enough. It is easy to turn over the water, and the fine fragments are separated from the soul.
The other is Zhao Zhengming's "Si Gui (A Parting of the Ancients)":
For the sake of not a few days, go to the day like three autumns. Hesitation can be seen, and the tall buildings are going up every day. Only to see the parting place, the white apple is full of Fangzhou. I would rather die than live and be worried.
Huang Baishan's evaluation is quoted in the "Poetry of the Wine Garden", arguing that the first four sentences of these two poems can be enough, and the last four sentences are a bit redundant:
Yu Yu wanted to delete qi ji's "Swordsman" poem and Zhao Weiming's "Ancient Parting" two last four sentences as a final sentence, nai jia. Swordsman Cloud:' The sword is drawn around the wreckage, and the song finally goes out. The west wind is full of snow, where to repay the favor? ’ "Ancient Parting" Cloud: 'For a few days, one day is like three autumns.' Hesitation can be seen, and the tall buildings are going up every day. ’ The first poem writes that the swordsman's behavior is popular, the latter poem writes that the woman is obsessed with love, and the last four words are reduced.
In addition, he also mentioned Li Bai's "Midnight Wu Ge Qiu Song":
Chang'an is a month, and the sound of thousands of households pounding clothes. The autumn wind blows endlessly, and it is always jade. --- He Riping Hu Yu, the good people strike the expedition.
This poem is six sentences like Liu Zihou's, and it is written in the "Poetry of the Wine Garden" that the last two sentences can also be deleted as a final sentence.
The article mentions five poems, Liu Zongyuan's "Fisherman", Gao Shi's "Weeping Liang Shaofu", Li Bai's "Midnight Song", Qi Ji's "Swordsman", and Zhao Zhengming's "Si Gui".
Do you think these five poems are suitable for changing to absolute sentences? Which one is best after changing?
