Give back to the sea and the mountains

Zhou Qilun

Chongqing poet Wan Longsheng's "Six-Element String Song Collection" was recently published by the Unity Publishing House, which on the basis of strictly abiding by the general norms of the new poetry of the grammatical style, especially reflects the infinite operability pursued by the author throughout his life in artistic expression, that is, flexible diversity, which is of guiding significance for the development and growth of the new poetry creation group and the richness of the way of expression of the new poetry creation group that is increasingly active in the domestic poetry circle today.

Wan Longsheng once entertained himself in the poetry world with the online name poetry wine. He has been associated with the muse since his publication in the poetry journal Stars in 1957. He is the author of many poetry collections and poetry collections such as "Selected Modern Gelug Poems of Wanlongsheng", "Thoughts on the Poetry Road", and "Cloud Shadow Collection", and has won many awards such as the Chongqing Municipal Literature Award for the 40th Anniversary of the Founding of the People's Republic of China. In recent years, he has a special love for the long-standing new poetry of the grammatical style, achieving the effect of creating and researching the two wheels at the same time. "Greeting the Glory of New Poetry in the Exploration" was published in the Xinhua Bibliography Newspaper, expressing my sincere admiration for his ability to stand in the poetry world and lead us to embrace the spring day today, when he enters his old age.

The book is divided into several parts: "Zibei Toppling Collection", "Sanya Group Of Poems", "Xishui Qingshan Suite", "Scattered Pieces of Picking Up", and "Singing and Writings", which are composed of nearly 150 poems sprinkled with foreign flowers. Many chapters in the poetry collection subtly show the eighty-year path that Wanlao has traveled, from which it is understood that he has spoken wine and joy under the influence of poetry and love, paving a rich and beautiful color for a picturesque life, and also adding a brilliant brilliance to the contemporary poetry world of flag hunting and poetry.

"Six-line String Song Collection" also has a very unique quality in the overall theoretical framework of the new poems that follow the lattice style, it and the eight-line poem, the sonnet can have a neat, jagged (symmetrical), compound and other asanas, compared with other fixed lines, although the development is relatively late, but its rich and flexible performance tension is beyond doubt, randomly extracted from the poetry collection of Wanlao, it is enough to feel its rich rhythmic beauty.

Look at "Wedding Photos": "The background is the eternal sea / The sunshine of the southern country makes people drunk / Attracts seagulls to fly / / The waves are clustered under the feet / Playing the wedding march / I wish you will never be separated." What a wonderful wish! "Banyan Embraces Brown" uses the "Foreign Classic", showing the poet's profound knowledge: "The pine tree in the north / The palm that yearns for the south / It is the tragedy of Heine / / This palm stands tall / Tightly wrapped by the banyan branch / Never separated".

The elderly are rich in experience, from good as a stream, jealousy as a vendetta, so we can see his love and hatred in "Looking at the Sea": "The sea has a shore, the sky is boundless / Hugo declares, the heart is wider than the sky / / The great man has a heart, it is appropriate to say this / I can't come, I should have this wish / / Terrible hypocrisy, deceitful aura / Contemptible greed, desire is difficult to fill." Another example is "Chorus": "It is human nature to avoid cold and warm up / Not to mention not to mention not having to trek hard / / Experiencing too many troubles in life / Why not cherish the joy of the evening scene / / Gathering here from the north and the south of the world / Singing the song of the coconut sea together." This can't help but remind people of the calmness of "human emotions are articles". What touched me the most was "Dream Dedication": "Still sitting in that position / Still burying my head in writing / / I want to ask if you are harmless / But you quietly disappeared / / Suddenly I was shocked to realize that people were far away / There was no longer a trace of drowsiness." The deep friendship with the late writer Lu Daxian can be seen, the words are less meaningful, and the poetry is strong.

The publication of the Six-Line String Song was much helpful in establishing the poem, but the poet humbled himself: "I just hope that this thin collection of poems will give back to the sea and mountains that inspired me." It is earnestly expected that Wanlao will continue to compose more poems with his skillful and free verses.
