During the Qing Dynasty, there was a talent named Zhao Yi. If you are not a literary lover or a writer, perhaps many people are unfamiliar with this name. However, he is indeed a presence that cannot be ignored in the literary world. He was a soldier of the Twenty-sixth Year of Qianlong, and had once been an official in Guixi Province.
However, Zhao Yizhi was not in his career, and he later resigned from the government and lectured at Anding Academy. In terms of literature and history, Zhao Yi is very good at it. For writing poetry, he has his own unique views, he feels that poetry should pay attention to "originality", rather than blind imitation. He has a well-known saying that "there are talented people in the Jiangshan generations, each leading the way for hundreds of years", which means that there will be talented people in each period, who will each create a generation of poetry and lead the poetry world for hundreds of years.
Zhao Yi's poem comes from his work "On Five Poems and Two Poems", today, let's take a look at this poem.
From the title of this poem, "On Five Poems and Two Poems", it can be known that this is a group of poems written by Zhao Yi to discuss and write poems, and this poem is the second of them.
The first two sentences of this poem say, "Li Du's poems have been passed down orally, and they are not fresh so far", which means that everyone should not blindly study Li Bai Dufu's poems, because their poems have been passed down by word of mouth, and everyone is very familiar with them, not fresh.
Of course, Zhao Yi is not disparaging Li Bai DuFu, but on the contrary, it shows that Li Bai Du Fu is a benchmark in poetics. Everyone who likes ancient poetry should study and recite Li Du's poems, but they do not advocate blind imitation. It is as if we praise a girl who is more beautiful than Liu Yifei, not to say that Liu Yifei is not beautiful, but to use Liu Yifei as a benchmark of beauty and use it for comparison. On the other hand, we certainly don't advocate that everyone become Liu Yifei, because that would be meaningless.
The last 14 words of this poem can really be said to be a famous sentence throughout the ages, which makes people can't help but clap their hearts. "There are talented people in the Jiangshan Dynasty", and each dynasty will appear with talented people, "each leading the way for hundreds of years", and they each created a poetic style and led the poetry world for hundreds of years.
"Fengshao" is a combination of the "National Style" of the Book of Poetry and Qu Yuan's "Departure from Sorrow", which refers here to matters related to poetry writing. Zhao Yi believes that poetry writing is not static, but constantly changing with the development of the times. Later poets should seek change and innovation, not just imitate and follow the trend.
In fact, this is not only true of writing poetry, but also in many ways. Take the Internet celebrity as an example, after Li Ziqi exploded, many people imitated her, but these people failed to become the second Li Ziqi. A big reason is that Li Ziqi's idyllic video style is her unique, which integrates the temperament precipitated by her life experience, which can be described as unique. And those imitators did not have the soul of Li Ziqi, all they did was Dong Shi Xiao and Handan toddlers.
This poem by Zhao Yi is really philosophical and intriguing after reading. In fact, not only the poetry world, but also many industries, the generation of talented people in the country, each leading the way for hundreds of years. In our respective industries, we should also seek innovation and change, and we cannot blindly know only to imitate successful predecessors.
