Between Heaven and Earth - "Dengyouzhou Tai Song" (Chen Ziang, First Book 5)

The sun lazily clocked in after work. Before leaving, look back and smile. Just as a cloud followed her steps, it was instantly ignited. The earth in the distance has sunk into the night, in stark contrast to the sunset.

"Between heaven and earth, there is a vast expanse." The fire squirrel couldn't help but sigh.

"The heavens are high and the earth is different, and the universe is infinite; the joy and sorrow come, and the number of the rich and the false is realized." The ice bear recited the famous sentences in the "Preface to the Tengwang Pavilion".

"Mourn the beard of my life, envy the infinity of the Yangtze River." The fire squirrel took a sentence of "Chibi Fu".

"Hahaha, if we continue to sigh like this, only Xue Chen Ziang will burst into tears." Ice Bear said with a smile.

"What is this story?" The fire squirrel draped in light asked.

"In order to absorb the sages of the world, King Yan Zhao, honored the wise man Guo Kui as his teacher, and built a palace for him, known as 'Youzhou Tai' and 'Golden Terrace'. In the Tang Dynasty, Chen Ziang was full of ambition and outspoken, but he was not adopted by Wu Zetian and was repeatedly hit. So he climbed the Youzhou Platform and looked away, and wrote the famous "Dengyouzhou Platform Song".

The ancients were not seen before, and the comers were not seen after that.

Thinking of the heavens and the earth, alone but weeping!

Looking to the distant past, we can no longer see the holy kings of the ancient courtesans; and if we look to the unknown future, we can no longer see the kings who are thirsty for talents. Feeling that this world is vast and vast, I can't suppress the sadness in my heart, so I burst into tears. ”

His poems do not specifically write about Youzhoutai and the stories that happen here, but they can make people feel his yearning for the past and his feelings for the present. In the poem, it seems that there is only one day and one place left, and the poet who stands between heaven and earth is uneasy. The fire squirrel chewed Chen Ziang's verse and suddenly shouted, "I remember!" ”

"What do you remember?" The ice bear was startled.

Liu Cixin's "Poetry Cloud" mentions this poem. The super civilization that could rub matter and energy at will was also impressed by the mood of the poem. The fire squirrel remembered the guy who could synthesize matter directly with energy. He once wanted to write poems that surpassed Li Bai. Although this super civilization can extinguish the sun, can enumerate the infinite combinations of Chinese characters in poetry and store them, it is impossible to find the true pinnacle of it.

"Well, in this novel, the author borrows the earth poet Yi Yizhi and says, 'This is an art that can only be expressed in ancient Chinese, and even if it is translated into other human languages, it will lose most of its connotation and charm and become something else.'" Even if it is described in modern Chinese, it cannot fully show the artistic conception of poetry. Ice Bear said holding the bear's paw.

The last rays of light were extinguished. The stars gradually lit up in the night sky.

"Sing me a song." The fire squirrel in the hazy night said softly.

"From earth to heaven, from heaven to earth,

How miraculous is all things..."

"Hahaha, this one you sing sounds like a children's song."

"That was the theme song of a children's program "Between Heaven and Earth" a long time ago. Such a program is also 'before the ancients did not see the comers did not see'. ”
