33 Wei Shi Mo, why criticize Su Dongpo for not understanding poetry?

Prince Residence: For the vast academic system established by prince residence, it takes thousands of words to give him a brief introduction, so we only use one point to introduce him:

In the poetics section of the national platform, he achieved a record of 60% of the essence stickers (data at the end of November 2021), the highest daily essence (3 stickers and 2 posts are rare), the hours ratio is about ten times that of the past ten years, and the number of poetry essence hours is more than twenty times. In the comprehensive community forum that has survived from the last century, it has achieved a like rate of about 90% of the most valuable likes than clicks (a proper world record in the history of the Internet)... "Longshan" has created or broken about 100 records of large and small sizes... He is the only poet in the history of world literature who has transcended the 9-dimensional realm of a single sentence, and the only poet who has reached the 33-dimensional realm of a single sentence (Li Bai's highest is about 34-dimensional) and transcended the 33-dimensional realm. Reaching and surpassing the limit realm of "one word and one rhetoric, one word and one poetry, one word and two metaphors" in a sentence and seven words, it can be said that it is the first in 5,000 years of pen power. One man, four eras, his multi-dimensional poetic realm far surpassed the poetry of the Han And Tang Dynasties and pushed the yu poems of the Poetry of the Han and Tang Dynasties to a new height, continuing the broken road for Chinese poetics and opening up a new world.

Among the ancient commentators, we see that those who were criticized by Wang Ziju were Su Dongpo and Wen Yiduo, and the reason why they were criticized was because they commented on Meng Haoran. The poetry and poetic realm of ancient Chinese poets are rarely beyond the ability of princes to transcend, and Meng Haoran's qi rhyme is just one of them. Therefore, when Su Dongpo despised Meng Haoran, he would naturally be raised by Wang Ziju and criticized.

Su Dongpo's words are good (the poets of the entire Song Dynasty are basically stronger than poetry), and if you deconstruct the dimension of yu poetry, there are always two or three dimensions, but his poems do not write any dimension. The poems were not written well, but they indiscriminately commented on the masters of Tang poetry, and they would naturally be criticized by Wang Ziju.

Dongpo has a heroic personality, is likable, and has many fans, but it is inevitable that Hemai will not be careful, and it is normal to be criticized academically.

Su Shi commented on Haoran: "The rhyme is high and the talent is short, such as making an inner method of wine, but there is no material." ”

It is also recorded: "Haoran poetry, such as The Inner Kufa Wine, is the scale of the Supreme Being, but it owes the wine to caier." ”

In short, Su Shi was saying that Haoran Weng couldn't do it.

In this case, Li Bai may say it, but Dongpo can't say it, why? You are only better than a poem. Besides Li Bai Wang Wei, who surpassed Meng Haoran? Li Baishicai sheng Haoran, Shang said "high mountain ankyn", admired Haoran so much that it was five bodies thrown to the ground, eager to wash Haoran's feet to show respect, too white is still so, not to mention Su Shi. As a poet, contempt for Haoran only shows that he does not understand poetry.

In fact, Meng Haoran's poems have natural perfections, and in terms of artistic achievements, he is even higher than Wang Wei, even if Su Dongpo is decathlon, he cannot reach Meng Haoran's artistic height.

Meng Haoran has three perfections, "Spring Dawn" is a perfection, "Passing the Old Man Zhuang" is a perfection, "Moon Ling Smoke Tree" is a perfection, needless to say that he has three perfections, as long as he has a song "Spring Dawn", his artistic achievements are on the east slope, even if the east slope has "when the bright moon is there", it has to be in the Song Ci realm, it is finally a second-rate realm, once it encounters the "Spring Dawn" this kind of heavenly god work, can only look forward to the ocean and sigh.

When the bright moon is there, although it fits a certain mood of our Chinese, it does not form the breath of the artistic conception. We know that many Tang poems have a very good artistic conception, but they cannot form a breath, and Meng Haoran's "Passing the Old Man Zhuang", the local atmosphere is overwhelming, this is his superiority, "Spring Dawn" is also such a masterpiece, and the breath in "Moon Ling Smoke Tree" is also extremely strong. When we read this poem, we suddenly have a sense of rural intimacy, a feeling of spring sleepiness and spring dreams, which is Tiancheng's work, called the poetry of shenpin.

Dongpo could not write such a poem, and he was proud of himself that he claimed to be almighty. His disparagement of Meng Haoran can only show that his artistic achievements in poetry are still far behind.

The place where Su Dongpo looked down on Meng Haoran was precisely the reason why Meng Haoran was able to write the perfection of the peak, but Dongpo could not write. Although poetry requires a certain amount of talent to learn, if there is no certain learning, the sentences cannot be made well, how can we still write poetry? But once a poet emphasizes learning, then the natural sense of poetry, the state of perfection, will not appear. Good poetry must be natural, once in the poem to show off the knowledge, boasting and carving, then whether it is the mood, or the rhyme, will flow to the inferior. Therefore, the place where the eastern slope looks down on Haoran is precisely the place where Haoran is unique, and it is also precisely the place where the eastern slope is not as good as Haoran. The most feared thing about poetry is to show off learning, drop the book bag, violate the natural law of poetry from feeling, rely on learning for poetry, or rely on insight for poetry, it is difficult to achieve the natural wonder of returning to the truth, and Meng Haoran has less knowledge and experience (assuming so, the material Su Dongpo said, there should also be life experience, etc., he feels that Haoran's life is too single, this is because Dongpo's life experience is very rich), but less burdened, can feel the life of heaven and earth with the soul, but does not need to return to the truth, because his realm has always been in the pure and true.

It is meaningless to evaluate Meng Haoran in terms of learning, just as it is meaningless to evaluate poets by official positions. True poets love Meng Haoran because he has real feelings and is frank in nature.

Contemporary Li Bai said of Meng Haoran: "I love Meng Fuzi, and the world is full of winds and customs." "It's a tribute. Also a person who relies on inspiration to write poetry and does not have a foundation in learning, Li Bai has a deeper understanding of Meng Haoran's talent and achievements than others.

Who has done it to create three pinnacles of perfection in poetry? Dongpo didn't do one. In terms of understanding the artistic ability of a Tang Dynasty poet, the Tang people still know the Tang people better. After the realm of Tang dynasty, Dongpo was in the realm of Song poetry, and he could not get a glimpse of the true wonders of Tang poetry, which was his greatest limitation, even if he was talented, he could not solve the magic of Tang poetry. Therefore, from the attitude of Li Bai, Wang Wei, and Du Fu to Meng Haoran, we can conclude that meng Haoran is the most accurate person and how his poetry is.

33 Wei Shi Mo, why criticize Su Dongpo for not understanding poetry?

The ancients commented on Haoran and criticized him for saying that he was mostly five words and seven words were few, so they thought that Haoran's talent was confined to five words, which was a manifestation of not understanding poetry. Let's look at his "Parrot Island Sends the King nine to the left":

The Yellow Crane Tower on the Xideng River, the Parrot Island in the River.

The continent is winding around the blue stream, and the Mandarin ducks are full of beachheads.

The beachhead is long and the sand is long, and the golden sand is shining brightly.

The boatman leads the brocade cable, and the raccoon woman knots the robe.

The moon is full of reeds and flowers, and the wind rises and smells Du Ruoxiang.

Junxing cai cai mo forget.

Throughout the text, there is a kind of flowing and uninhibited momentum similar to Li Bai, "The moon is full of reeds and flowers, and the wind rises and smells Du Ruoxiang" is a good sentence of the highest class. In Meng Haoran's limited seven words, can there be such a poem, and that abundant god", "Deer Gate Moon Illuminates the Smoke Tree", can you still say that Meng Haoran is not good at seven words?

Meng Haoran's poem is not mentioned too much, it is obviously unfair to him, poets say that Li Bai's Phoenix Terrace is imitated by Cui Hao, but why not say that Cui Hao's Yellow Crane Tower was inspired by Meng Haoran's Parrot Island? Cui Hao's brushwork is similar to this parrot island! I am afraid that Cui and Li have been greatly influenced by this parrot island. Even later, in Li Bai's Seven Ancients, those brilliant masterpieces, their form and rhythm, all have the shadow of Meng Haoran's parrot island!

Therefore, Li Bai said "the mountain is safe and admirable", which is not a polite appreciation, but a heartfelt admiration. In terms of literary style, Meng Haoran is The Forerunner, Pioneer, and Enlightener of Li Bai, while Li Bai is a learner and a master. The ancients said that Wang Meng was a school, only from the appearance (from the genre of poetry, such as pastoral), if in terms of spirit and temperament, rhyme and artistic conception, Meng Li is the real school. Those who speak Meng and Li must be in fact, and those who speak the king of Meng have their own expressions.

Let's look at two more of Meng Haoran's limited seven gems:

Send Du Fourteen

Jingwu is connected to the water as a township, and the Jun to the Spring River is in the middle of nowhere.

Where is the Sunset Sail? The end of the world looks at the broken intestines.

The first two sentences are extremely light in meaning, writing parting in a water color, the third sentence writes Haoran's thoughts about Du Xi4, and the fourth sentence directly writes the feelings of parting, and the words have been exhausted but not yet.

Ji Jiang asked the people in the same boat

There is no wind in the tide and the river, and the light boat helps with Juntong.

Always lead to the end of the sky, where the green mountains are more and more.

This poem is full of Meng Haoran's sincerity and cordiality, Haoran speaks warmly and politely, and when asking the boat people, he also said "I am in the same boat with you", which suddenly brought the relationship closer, which shows that Haoran is a person with strong affinity.

"Always lead to the end of the day", the mood of eager to arrive as soon as possible jumped on the paper, "where the green mountains are yuezhong", looking at the boat from afar, talking about distinguishing between distant rivers and mountains, this kind of travel is often said by the poet, and the mentality of the journey is written. Even Su Shi commented on this poem: "Sending the taste to the indifferent." ”

It can be seen that Haoran's writing of the Seven Absolutes has brought in the diluted and blended style of his five words, and his Seven Absolutes are very well written.

33 Wei Shi Mo, why criticize Su Dongpo for not understanding poetry?

We must remember that Haoran is a spontaneous poet, a poet who is different from Du Fu, Jia Dao and other poets who deliberately write poetry. Writing poetry is a casual thing for him, and of course he does not deliberately write seven words. If Haoran is a deliberate poet, from the seven words we see now, he will try to write, and naturally more masterpieces will appear. To say that Meng Haoran is confined to five words and cannot speak seven words is to not understand his poetry, and even more to understand his disposition.

Wen Yiduo's evaluation of Meng Haoran is not low, but he still does not understand Meng Haoran enough, such as his evaluation: "There are some high-quality Meng Haoran's poems, and the number is always too small. The sentences of 'Steam cloud Mengze, wave shake Yueyang City' and 'micro cloud light river Han, raindrop Wutong' style sentences, almost can not find a second example in the concentration. ”

This obviously does not understand Meng Haoran, "slightly cloudy and light river Han, raindrops sycamore" is a good sentence, but it is only a scenery, but it can not be compared to "the lotus wind sends aroma, bamboo dew drops clear sound" such a wonderful, the first two sentences are solid, but not as good as the last two sentences "things have feelings" to convey the gods. The comfort and satisfaction revealed in the latter sentence is the true taste of the countryside. If you think about it, on a summer day, the wind blows through the lotus pond, with a faint fragrance of lotus flowers, blowing on you, you are cool, and you smell the fragrance, can you not be refreshed? The dewdrops of the bamboo forest in the morning drip, vibrate and sound, listen to your ears, will you not become refreshed? This is the achievement of Meng Haoran's idyllic poetry, his level is unique, looking at the whole Tang Dynasty, no one can write life as rich in charm, full of emotion, and rich in the work of nature. Why is it rich in the creation of nature? A send, a drop, vaguely seems to be the work of lotus flowers and bamboo, which is what I call "material sentient beings", that is, the work of nature's creation. Another example is his "radiating the sunset cool, Kaixuan lying idle" worse than "steaming clouds Mengze, waves shaking Yueyang City"? Such poetry is the real Meng Haoran, the real leisure, the real hermit style.

Mr. Wen was not very rural, and he did not see the where the flow of Meng Haoran's pastoral hermit was. Throughout the ages, the one who has understood Meng Haoran's value must be Li Bai. His "red face abandoned XuanXuan's crown, and his white head lay on the pine cloud." Although Meng Haoran is written in a graceful and heroic manner, compared to Meng Haoran's own sentence of "radiating the sunset cool, opening the Xuanxuan and lying idle", it is still not the true interest of the countryside, nor the loftiness of the hidden. Therefore, the good sentence in Li Bai's "Gift to Meng Haoran" is still his beginning and ending, straight to the chest, and the sincere atmosphere greets him, making people read it happily. It can be seen that Meng Haoran's leisure and seclusion cannot be written by even Li Bai. Why did Li Bai say that Meng Haoran was "popular in the world"? It is precisely because he has this kind of wind and current that "emits the coolness of the sunset and opens the xuan and lies idle", and his kind of wind flow between his hands and feet can be compared with Wang Xizhi's "Tan belly east bed" celebrity style. Du Fu also had "Tan belly Jiang Ting warm, long yin wild looking", but always feel that he can not let go, he is still in shape, even if it is Tan Belly Jiang Ting, he is still thinking about the long chant, deliberately for poetry, you see, Du Fu lives a lot tired, so his poetry is not as good as the feeling of comfort and arbitrariness in Meng Haoran's poems. Meng Haoran is really close to nature and enjoy life. Therefore, Li Bai was very impressed with Meng Haoran and said, "The mountain is safe and can be admired? In vain, it is a matter of time." The innocence and uninhibited flow of Li Bai's poems cannot be said to be without the influence of Meng Haoran, whose style of a hermit has the Tang generation, and is the only person whom Li Bai admires to be called a mountain.

33 Wei Shi Mo, why criticize Su Dongpo for not understanding poetry?

Later generations could not really understand the subtlety of Meng Haoran's poems, so they said that his poems were too few, his masterpieces were too few, and his learning was too shallow. For Meng Haoran's poetic talent, I have the same view as Li Bai, "The mountain is safe and yang? In vain, it is a matter of time." Perhaps Li Bai values Meng Haoran's morality and affection, Meng Haoran's innocence, and the style of gushi. But I value his poetry more, his virtue and his poetry, are all the same.

When I think of Meng Haoran, I can't help but regret him, although he wrote his poems well, but because he had less experience, although he had obtained the natural realm, compared to others, he had less of the world's various things, so the number of his poems was also less, the span was not large enough, the content was not rich enough, and the radiance radiated was weaker than that of Li Bai Du Fu Wang Wei.

However, Meng Haoran has also reached a realm that other great poets cannot reach, and he stands on a unique height.
