The Sea Dragon Hoard has its own long lyrical epic

Founded in 1257 AD, the Sea Dragon Hoard finally had its first lyrical epic.

Published by Kong Xuetang Bookstore and distributed by Jinggui Media (Beijing) Co., Ltd., "Hailong Hoarding" is a lyrical long poem produced by the famous poet Yao Hui who spent up to two years and five months "carefully constructing" and "painstakingly polishing". The poem consists of five volumes, more than 40 verse chapters, more than 300 verses, and more than 2,000 lines.

As a poet, Yao Hui can always use "poetry writing" again and again to bring "surprises" and "surprises" to people. Whether it is language, imagination, or thinking and creativity, Yao Hui has attracted a lot of attention. In his way, he has been expanding "the boundaries of his own poetry", especially his lyrical poems, and "exposing" his "grand schemes" "as a poet".

Beginning with writing Personal Current Events in the mid-1990s, especially since the 21st century, Yao Hui has devoted more time and energy to the writing of long poems.

This time, Yao Hui's poem is facing the ruins of a toast castle not far from his hometown, located on longyan mountain more than 30 kilometers northwest of Qianbei Plateau and Zunyi City, namely Hailong Hoard. From the initial construction of the site to the expansion to the destruction of the war, the sea dragon hoarded on the mountain of Longyan Mountain for 725 years, through the Tang, Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, Song, Yuan, Ming Dynasty five dynasties change, is a relic included in the "World Cultural Heritage List", is a miracle.

Nietzsche said: "I walk on the path that fate has prescribed for me; although I do not want to walk on this road, I have no choice but to walk on this road with sorrow." "Yang Yinglong walked on the sea dragon hoard during the Wanli years, walking on the road planned for him by fate and the times. More than four hundred years later, the poet Yao Hui also walked on the sea dragon hoard. In the rain, under the setting sun, he saw a horse, a pile of stones, like a genie jumping out of chinese characters, transformed into a flower of poetry. So he seemed to have some kind of fit with the thrilling events of the Ming Dynasty on the high ground of history: after years of immersion in poetic passion, he stood in front of him like a sculpture. It seemed that an invisible order was issued, ordering him to carve a "bronze inscription" for this vast, vicissitudes, and xuanhuang...

Guizhou Changshi has always attracted attention with the brilliance of majesty and coarseness, in "Sea Dragon Hoard", throughout the poem is the rough imagery, totem imagery: land, horses, flowers, rainstorms, roosters, black ants, stones, surnames, wild chrysanthemums, wars, hoarding, wolf sauce, wine, reeds, fire, levels, wind, swords, dragons, mountains and rivers, blood, mountain roads, fog, flowers... These things that are common in the plateau, these things that are almost isomorphic to life and death, are both life and history, as well as poetic contemplation, bringing to the whole poem a hardness and sharpness that is almost indigestible by time.

On the genealogy of Guizhou long poems, epic poems account for more than half of the list, in this wild plateau, Yao Hui with his lyrical epic writing, contributed to the inheritance and vision of China's current long poem writing, bone strength, with his implicit modernity of long poetry efforts, proved that Guizhou long poetry writing has a non-stop impulse.

To this end, the poet Li Shaojun commented: Qiandi is mountainous, how steep, how magical, how strange, and how legendary, all of which happen to be presented in Yao Hui's poems. Yao Hui is a veteran poet, but in recent years, he has been passionate and has written such a magical long poem as "Sea Dragon Hoard". Lyric and narrative, history and mythology, fantasy and dream, experimentation and reality, have been harmoniously unified, which is a rare long masterpiece in contemporary poetry.

Critic Xu Jingya praised it even more: I have not read a "dignified" epic poem for many years. As the best-preserved medieval castle site in China and even In Asia, the bloody Hailong Hoard Ancient Battlefield is like a heavy puzzle weighing down the mountains of Northern Qianbei. Yao Hui undertook this mission of writing poetry. This long poem is not psychedelic or unpretentious, with both a bird's eye view of the ancient and modern bosom, as well as the rhetoric of gold and stone splashing, and the whole poem is somber and tragic, calm and condensed. I said that "a long poem is a big fish", and I feel from time to time when I read it: every little scale of this big fish also flashes and bounces. Whether it is a similar castle theme or a poetic temperament, "Sea Dragon Hoard" is comparable to Neruda's "Machu Bhikkhu Peak".

Yes, if the advent of the Sea Dragon Hoard in 1257 AD is a major event in Chinese history. Today, 764 years later, the advent of Yao Hui's long lyrical epic "Sea Dragon Hoard" is undoubtedly an important event in the history of long poetry in China and even the world.
