Absorption and Transformation: An Important Ability to Write Poetry
——Read the "Six Words of Words" Yanni dialect wine poetry
Burn the plains
Compared with the free form of new poetry, Wu Yanni's more than three hundred six-word poems, like the common five-word and seven-word poems, all belong to the category of old-style poetry, but from ancient times to the present, six-word poetry is relatively rare, which also shows that it is a relatively difficult form to grasp. Wu Yanni originally had no experience in writing old style poetry, but as soon as she got started, she directly entered this kind of unpopular six-word style, and like a natural opportunity, the poetry gushed out, the bottom of the pen blossomed, and the scene was in the middle, just like this form in the long wait, and finally waited for a person with a heart and a sharp heart. She meets God in this form, and this form shines in her pen.
I myself am engaged in the study of new Chinese poetry, that is, modern Chinese poetry, and what impresses me most is the absorption and use of modern poetry resources by these poems as old poetry. Needless to say, for a long time, modern people have formed a patterned routine including language expression, emotional expression and thought expression in the writing of old style poetry, and one of the main reasons for this is that the shape of old style poetry is more difficult to absorb and transform the results of other modern art disciplines; in addition, because many writers lack the learning and accumulation of other types of art resources, they also lack the awareness and ability to absorb and transform this resource.
It is in this sense that we can feel some extraordinary information from Wu Yanni's old poems. On the basis of her in-depth reading of many modern poems, especially Haizi's poetry, she boldly incorporates the words, phrases, images and elements in these poems into her old style poems, which not only breaks through the three major routines of the expression of "language", "emotion" and "thought" of the old poems, but also makes her words refreshing.
Being able to digest and integrate a variety of artistic elements is also an important ability that must be possessed in writing poetry - that is, the ability to use it. This ability to use comes from both the talent of writing poetry and the learning of the day after tomorrow. The so-called use is to be good at absorbing the advantages of other people's poetry for my use and becoming my own thing, which is the ability to write poetry, and many of Yanni's poems reflect her ability to use it.
Like what:
《Moon-based Drink》
The fruit sinks to the bottom of the cup,
Shake off the red sails between your lips.
A leaf flat boat chasing the waves,
The swallows return.
Hops high splash cheeks,
Amorous should hate the cup full.
Look for the moonlight of the lower chord,
Guard the lights.
"Half-Cut Poetry Line"
Sauce King Bachelor,
Wear a liquid crown on your head.
It's a half-cut line of poetry,
Lips blow southwest.
King of the Swallow Spirit Bird,
Eight waters shouted wildly.
Ear wine river rolling,
Holding a jade pot of marigold.
The expression of these two poems, such as "red sail between lips" and "moonlight on the next string", is that she cleverly uses the imagery technique of Haizi poetry, but at the same time, she uses no traces, cleverly grasps the momentary feelings that she can not be sought, integrates the feelings of other people's poetry, and uses them to serve her own poetry.
Another example:
"Wine is the Five Virtues"
Drink the millennium Fangfei
The altar breaks ten miles of mellow
Sniff out the courtesy and shame
Fragrant in the world
Heartbreak Hole Meng RenXin
The Four Great Voids are empty
The drinker is reborn from the cocoon
The gills are flushed with moisture
"Wine is a Human Face"
Raise benevolence, righteousness, wisdom and faith
A cup of all-you-can-see wine
The taste buds of the Five Virtues circulate
Why sit in the meditation hall
People are drinking wine in the face
The golden bottle has its own divine light
Pour a glass of poetry into a drunken man
Words and wine refine the heart to be delusional
The "courtesy, righteousness, honesty," "Confucius Mengrenxin," and "benevolence, righteousness, and wisdom" in these two poems cleverly use the core essence of Confucianism, but they skillfully integrate traditional classics with modern poetic art, increasing the richness of poetry content.
Another example:
Wine Tasting
Watch and listen to the practice of checking
The drunkard tastes the six ways of wine
It is also the Six-Character Scripture
The Law and the Law are happy to spend
Not far from the six dust and six senses
You can also go home
Wine is the taste of life
Contains the Eight Square Dragon Horse
In this poem, "you can not leave the six dusts and six consciousnesses, you can also go home", which contains the ideological realm of the Buddhist family, from which you can also feel Yanni's skillful chemical skills, between birth and entry into the world, consciously or unconsciously melt in the emotions and thoughts expressed in her own poetry.
In particular, it is worth mentioning that in the process of chemical use, Yanni is not rigid, but seamlessly dissolved in her own poetry. The so-called "origin has its own origins" and "treads on the snow without a trace".
The ability to use the need is the inner sensitivity, but also the need for innovative spirit, Yanni's six-word poetry, with many innovative elements, not only that, Yanni's more than three hundred words and wine poems, its theme ideas, feelings, emotions, etc., are unique. At the same time, the content of many poems has profound meanings, integrates Zen cultural ideas, and can also bring readers a certain unforgettable feeling, which is also a wonderful point for use.

Hu Fuchen: Déjà vu Yan returned
When I read "Marx's Biography" in junior high school, I was very glad that Marx and Yanni could be married as a lifelong partner, thinking that it was the greatest happiness in life! Therefore, I mentioned many times in my book, and when I really saw Ms. Wu Yanni later, I was not only thrilled, "Déjà vu Yan returned"! This feeling of acquaintance may also be the emotional consensus of every reader.
Ms. Wu Yanni is a brilliant female poet and a scholar of traditional Chinese studies, whose "Six Characters of Sayings" is not known as "Six Character Proverbs", and covers "pouring" from "wine", that is, "pouring wine"! There are poems in the wine, poetry, poetry, poetry, and the six classics are also history! There is the Tao in the poem, and there is the Buddha in the poem. Ms. Yanni's "Six Characters" records the poetry and wine culture in the annals of history, and it is this book that is a great contribution to literature, to sinology, and especially to China's wine culture!
If you want to define "poetry", it is: the laws, propositions and methods of composing poetry. Tang Jiaoran's "Poetic Style and Heavy Poetry Examples" said: "But seeing the nature of love, not looking at words, covering the extremes of poetry." Liu Yazi's "Preface to Hu Jichen's Poems" says: "Although, the drawbacks of today's poetry are not here. "It's a matter of poetry. Song Sun Guangxian's "Northern Dream Trivia" volume VI: "Xue Xuzhou can take poetry as his duty. Yuan Liu Jie's poem "Composing Poetry Can Poor People": "Poor correspondence has a life, and poetry is not thin." "Fur poetry, sticking to the body, flesh and bone poetry, empty lifting in the meaning, essence poetry, practicing sentences in the context." Therefore, poetry immortals, poetry Buddhas, poetry paths, poetry saints, poetry ghosts, poetry demons, poetry bones, poetry heroes, poetry maniacs... Raw!
As a "poetic Buddha" in the history of Chinese literature, Wang Wei is a representative figure who is closely related to Buddhism by literati, and he has participated in Zen enlightenment and created an artistic realm in which zen is in poetry. Wang Wei is known as the "Poetry Buddha" in the poetry world, which is due to the fact that Wang Wei has an indissoluble relationship with Buddhism, and his poems are often combined with Buddhist Zen philosophy, full of deep and idle Zen zen fun. Especially known for landscape poetry.
Zhongnan Beiye [Tang] Wang Wei
Middle-aged quite good, late home Nanshan.
Every time you come and go, you will know yourself.
Walk to the end of the water and sit and watch the clouds rise.
Occasionally valued Lin Shuo, talking and laughing without repayment.
In this poem, the opening paragraph directly points out "quite a good way". Since the ancient monastic path to the deep mountains, I settled down in Nanshan, a little late. Perhaps, it is still timely. Because he can still walk around alone and appreciate all things in heaven and earth, is there a way, I am afraid that only he himself knows, right?
Li Baishiyun: "Since ancient times, the sages have been lonely, and only the drinkers have kept their names." One can walk alone, one can be near the water, one can sit somewhere and watch the fickle clouds. Between the clouds and waters, perhaps there are also things related to the Tao? If you can occasionally meet one or two like-minded people and chat casually, life is full of comfort.
However, the "poetry Buddha" Wang Weihe was praised by posterity as "poetry immortal" Li Bai, they left behind in history and wine-related poems, but there are only a few, and Ms. Yanni in this article, in the process of becoming acquainted with Moutai wine, the cultivation of wine, the Tao, the Buddha, and poetry has reached a certain level, she has written more than three hundred words of wine poetry in one go, and in a natural state of creation, she easily wrote the "Six-Character Words with Wine", instantly with many readers, In particular, it is highly integrated with the hearts of many cultural circles, and it is natural to have a strong resonance with the reader that is higher than the value of poetry itself, so her poetry is similar to the artistic conception, imagery and emotion of these famous poets in history, especially in the number of creations and the realm of poetry interpretation.
Liu Xun's "Wenxin Carved Dragon" said: "Those who are hidden, the heavy purpose outside the text." "Hidden in the meaning of the work." If there is a lack of concealment in the passage, it is not learned by the Confucians, or it is poor in speech. Combined with Ms. Yanni's poetry, a common conclusion is drawn from it, that is: "Since ancient times, enlightenment has been the highest spiritual realm pursued by Chinese culture, so good ancient poetry has always been closely related to the artistic conception interpreted by the Tao, and it can even be said that a good poetic artistic conception must be able to interpret the essence of the Dao." ”
What is the Word? In short, it is the energy that creates all things in the underworld, it is a state of thought, it is a spirit, it is formless, it is formless, silent, silent, shadowless, endless, colorless, tasteless, it is a grasp of the overall view of the universe, it is the root of all hues, it is the beginning of heaven and earth, and the mother of all things. We can't express it accurately in words, we can only rely on the heart to understand, when our mind returns to Simplicity, that baby-like pure state of mind is the Cosmic Dao Mind.
And what is the best mood of poetry? As Yan Yu said in the "Canglang Poetry": "The antelope hangs its horns and has no trace to seek." Therefore, its magic, thorough and exquisite, can not be docked, such as the sound of the air, the color of the picture, the moon in the water, the image in the mirror, the words are endless and the meaning is infinite. "The best mood of poetry is to present an ineffable spirit that is detached from the poetic language itself, but is closely connected with it, and can only be understood as ineffable. Although it is like the sound of the air, the color of the picture, the moon in the water, and the image in the mirror, it is the fundamental spirit of poetry, an invisible hand that controls the poetry itself, and the source of poetry. The state of mind that we perceive and experience through the language and imagery of poetry is the best mood of poetry.
I have the following three understandings of Yanni's Book of Verses, or Wine Sutra:
First: YanNi's poetry classic, rich in content, presents the culture and art of poetry and wine, the essence of Confucian and Taoist culture, and contains the content of cultivation culture, as if it is a mirror of modern social life, upgrading the people's cognition of liquor culture and changing the people's cognition of cultivation culture, such as her poem:
Fifty-Three Degrees of Happiness
The male lion's mouth contains roses,
Feminine meets masculine.
A drop sits on the country,
Become the King of The Sauce of the World.
Fifty-three degrees of happiness,
All because of the wine fell into the intestines.
There is a hut by the river,
A big river on the heart.
The "male lion" and the "rose" are harmonious in yin and yang, and all things are born, brewing a good wine, a cup of grand worlds, and the wine contains everything. With such a fine wine, everything outside the body is dispensable, if you do "there is a hut by the river, a big river in your heart." "Then this life is enough! At this moment, Yan Ni's wine includes not only "a big river", but also the life of all things in the universe. This experience of life and the perception of the Dao has gone beyond the existence of matter, but has entered the realm of the unity of man and wine and the unity of all things. All the glitz and wine in the world is in the heart. In a good glass of wine, the domineering spirit of the lion, the tenderness of the rose, the heroic bones of the hero, the king's country and mountains, the harmonious life..., the moment was sublimated, awakening the secluded consciousness of transcending the world. It can be seen that Ms. Yanni is well versed in poetry, wine, and the true meaning of the Dao, and her Taoist heart is precious.
Second: Yan Ni's Poetry Classic, is a great book, her six-sentence and eight-sentence new style poetry, boldly combine the advantages of modern poetry and ancient poetry into one, open up a paradigm for China's excellent traditional literature, let the ancient poetry trickle down from the narrow valley, into a broader ocean of poetry, and flow endlessly. And look at her
Homecoming:
Several generations of dry zazen forest,
Why is the wine not over?
With the help of sauce king mash,
Hilaku wine is in the trenches.
Do not chant Tang poems song rhymes,
Chanting to himself.
Six words full of paper sincerity,
The bird returns home.
The poet transcends the narrow river of the previous ancient poetry, breaks through the constraints of the form of five words and seven words, and boldly starts the unpopular six-word poems, only to pursue the "six words full of paper sincerity", only to pursue the highest realm of no-mind, and return to the home of the soul, so the "no-mind tired bird returns home" in the poem. It also expressed her love for cultivation culture and her yearning for the Qing cultivation life in the mountains and forests, but she did not know that this kind of escape had to leave the red dust, but she thought that she could use wine and also enlighten, so she said: "With the help of sauce king mash, Xilai wine is in the trenches." Do not chant Tang poems and Song rhymes, chant self-talk wine", as long as the door of wisdom is opened in the heart, there is also a road in the wine, why should it get rid of the red dust? Why pursue the form of poetry? The style of this poem is not conventional, the form is free, but it reaches the depths of the reader's soul, and many of her poems have this characteristic, the words are wild and uninhibited, free, such as: "After drunkenness, the tongue stirs the Qianshan Mountain, the soup of the prosperous universe." "(See Deep Pool)." Holding the Ruyi Demon, Wan Hu's sorrow has passed. (See "Eliminating Evil") and other poems, all of which go straight to the heart and are unforgettable. Only the wisdom that arises through the pure and untainted mind can arouse strong resonance among the reader, and this original heart is also the Taoist heart of the universe that zen enlightened People have been diligently pursuing for thousands of years.
As Lao Tzu said: "Tao Sheng One, Life Two, Two Birth Three, Three Life All Things", Yan Ni's poetry is all-encompassing, and unlike our common lyrical poems, many of her poems embody the true meaning of the Dao. Therefore, her poetry transcends the simple superposition of language, imagery, and poetic forms, but presents an ultimate avenue spirit that is free from the imagery of language, that is, in the process of her poetry, at the moment of drinking, she is actually pursuing the avenue and pursuing nature, then the six-word poetry style she chose is also automatically generated in this natural state, natural, inaction, so that readers can smell a different fresh taste, from which we can see the preciousness of her innovative spirit.
Third: Yan Ni's Poetry Classic, among the vast number of poems, is the most representative poem. She boldly incorporates secular themes such as "wine" and "love" into the cultivation culture to interpret, subverts the traditional cultivation method of "abstinence and despair", and presents the greatest respect for human nature in her poems. In the poem, the joy of life, the suffering of the people, the life of the five flavors and miscellaneous tastes in wine, etc. are presented to the fullest, all in the "Six Words and Sayings" full of living and fragrant life scene. For example, this song of hers:
《Earth Wine Heavenly Treasure》
Cellar pool to take the pulse of the consultation,
Invite Hua Tuo to his side.
Do not sell dog-headed lamb,
Refuse to mix with water goji sauce.
Underwater bow back bending,
The gill-scaled whale lip looks up.
Carrying the Song of a Hundred Medicines,
Sauce King DiJiu Tianzang.
In the poem, Yanni puts the ingenuity of the brewer and the adherence to quality, like the doctor who treats patients, highlighting the view of "one person drinking, one family without disease, one drinking, one mile without disease" in "A Thousand Golden Fangs". Brewing is also the cultivation of life, "to become a god, first become an adult." "Cultivation is not separated from red dust, not from "wine" and "feelings." For example, she said in her poem: "The cave of smoke is closed, and the wine world is flowing." The "wine world on earth" that entered the world and the "Yanxia Cave" that came out of the world were spoken on the same day, and the cultivation was integrated into life, which led to the sublimation of the people's consciousness.
Yan Ni's poem is "Pouring Words", "Pouring" is the sublimation of the soul, but also the illusion of the Taoist heart. When we strip each poem of its glitzy coat and fade away its usual form, like a soul that washes away the worldly prosperity and distractions, there is a person standing behind us at the moment, and she is Ms. Wu Yanni.
Life is short, and although material life is important, spiritual life must not be lost. Let us taste the true, good and beautiful artistic conception contained in classical poetry from Ms. Yanni's "Six Characters", try to touch the spiritual realm behind the language with the soul, and believe that every reader will be able to understand the essence of the Dao in the cup!

The spiritual healing of the Six Words
——Talk about the background of the creation of the poem
Wu Yanni
"Six-Character Commentary" is more than three hundred poems I created, and has received more than twenty commentaries, and many well-known scholars have pushed the value and significance of poetry to the peak, including Professor Hu Fuchen of the Cultural Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences positioning "Six Characters", Professor Li Jilin, deputy director of the Institute of Culture and Philosophy of the Anhui Academy of Social Sciences, positioning "Six-Character Sayings" as "Six-Character Wine Classic"; the famous writer Yang Ming positioning "Six-Character Sayings" as "Poetry Classic", and Ye Baolin, president of the Beijing Xishan Poetry Society, positioning "Six-Character Words". Liu Xianyin, a scholar of Traditional Chinese culture, positioned the "Six-Character Sayings" as the "Six-Character Daming Mantra", and Li Zui, dean of the Institute of Cultural Sinology of Laozi in Chang'an, positioned the "Six-Character Sayings" as "the mysterious power of liberation"...
Many teachers have raised the "Six-Character Sayings" to the height of "Jing" and "Wei" to interpret, I must admit that when I first created it, I linked a kind of divine power, or at that moment, my body and mind were completely empty, entering a state, as if "talking to God", so the poems gushed out from the brain every day, completely from the stream of consciousness, completed nearly four hundred songs a month, friends in the group were there for all to see, from this point of view, the teacher of the review was not deliberately whitewashing and pursuing me, irresponsibly " Their own fame "writes such comments at the expense of reading poetry, but because when they read poetry, they fully enter, or partially enter a certain realm of poetry, and experience a special state of life, as the writer Yang Ming said: "Yanni's poetry is not read, it is enlightened!" "If the reader does not have understanding, the thinking of the brain can not taste the divine taste, because for the brain type person, he will always see only logic, analysis, judgment, reasoning, knowledge... Unfortunately, this is all acquired thinking, what he sees is always an illusion, and he can never see God, because he has no God in his heart!" Besides, poetry is a non-logical, non-brain product! No matter how full of poetry books, the literary style is soaring, if you "go to the brain", you can't write the words of "walking the heart", and you will always be in the "word phase" and "knowledge phase".
Still, I have self-knowledge, and I must admit that inspiration comes from God, not man! Everything is not my personal merit, as for some people tasting the taste of God from poetry, and some people tasting, these are extremely normal conclusions, although some teachers have sublimated poetry into jing and 偈, which can only be called jing written by saints, but I cannot claim to be a saint, I just want to talk about the background of the creation of Six Words from the perspective of spiritual healing.
"Without sorrow and indignation, there is no poetry", which can be praised by everyone, and my unique life experience, the life unhappiness and spiritual trauma I have encountered, because I like to be a Buddha, I have been single for nearly twenty years, and I have been on an inaccessible road, a daunting and unattainable spiritual peak canyon. The advent of "Six Words" is the externalization and crystallization of my emotional experience of lack of sexuality and loneliness, and it is completed in the special creative background of the most unsupported in my life, so this group of poems not only allows me to release the emotional energy I squeeze, heals my mental wounds, but also allows me to gain the strength to liberate from it. Therefore, I was able to let the reader read some extraordinary taste and power from the work, including the wild and fairy tales of some unexpected language in the poems, which are related to the explosion of energy accumulated in my heart.
For example, "The King of Tibetan Sauce is in the harem, and the old man sits alone in a lonely pavilion and gets drunk." (See poem "Tibet"), for example
"Turn on the sunset lights and walk alone in the autumn highs."
Jiudu old territory, splitting the Chishui River Valley.
Boiling a volcano, Qu Xiang heals wounds and scrapes bones.
The crowd held aloft torches, and the swallows returned alone to the night road. ”
(See the poem "Light and Darkness"). These poems
Sentences can see from the inner cry and struggle of a lonely drinker, but also contain the desire for loneliness and the firmness of the will, this extremely complex mentality brews poetry, the reader with a heart must be able to read the deep and profound taste hidden in the poem, a person should truly understand the suffering of others, but also can feel their own inner compassion, so when the reader touches my soul, it also touches the marrow of the poem, and the poetry at this time has a spiritual healing effect for the reader. Because when he fully enters the poetic mood, he will unconsciously merge with my soul, and will unconsciously know the bitterness of other people's lives while knowing his own heart, so that all kinds of miscellaneous tastes of life and the meaning of poetry will unconsciously merge into one.
Another example is "Ask": "Driving the spring breeze drunk without a license, drinking and visiting lone monks." The road is haunted by ghosts, and there are several layers of cloud road. The swallows stayed overnight in Qianshan Mountain, and the cliffs pulled the dead vines.
Who pities the book and has a strong affection, saying that all the vulgar dust loves to hate. ”
This cry of the heart from the moment of "life hanging on the line", with the variation of various voices of spirit and flesh, ideal and reality, hope and helplessness, pain and sharpness, this sound has no doubt nothing to do with the material world, but completely tears the soul naked to the world, almost naked and released. If I had not experienced the loss of love, the grinding of life, the groaning and brokenness of my heart... ... I would not have written such a poem, all of which comes from the most authentic inner experience, but through the form of six-word poetry, I made the most sincere confession to the world, compared to my rich emotional experience in my heart and the trauma that my soul has experienced, in the moment of writing poetry, the need to pour out is greater than everything! And does the complete disregard for the six-word poem meet the requirements of the Grammatical poem? All expression is based on the needs of the heart, and the form of poetry is already something outside the body. Therefore, many poems seem to be immersed in a kind of self-intoxication or self-talk, as if the world does not exist, and it does not need anyone's approval, but only needs to bravely present the true color of the soul and be the true self. So I tightly grasped the helping hand that Dionysus had extended to me, sang in the wine with a fatalistic voice, released the karma of the past, and revealed the latent demonic nature in my heart, all the impulses and crazy habits of the past, so as to create a miracle in the speed of writing poetry, and in an instant it was relieved, the scarred soul was healed and supported, and the troubles were turned into bodhicitta. Now that a year has passed, I still feel that I can play a role in the healing of the mind and purify the heart.
"Great people are lonely", great philosophers and poets like to be alone, and solitude is not always beautiful, often accompanied by misfortune and suffering, especially when the emotion is hit, it is easier to produce psychological imbalance, for ordinary people, often rely on external happiness to make up for the inner deficiencies, from the outside to find strength to support the inclined emotions, but for poets, words are often the best way to heal themselves, in this process, regain the harmony of the soul, find the home of the soul, as I wrote this set of wine poems in the process, Constantly looking for the feeling of unity of body and mind, but also looking for the unity of man and wine, the beauty of the unity of heaven and man, so the birth process of many poems is also the process of finding the beauty of the soul, this search for external things that are not embodied at all, or that there is no need for figurative external things to support, that is, there is no "sauce king" that I praise, and all the external people and things I praise, it is completely an internal exploration of the perfect mind that is self-sufficient, and it can even be said that the Six Words of Sayings are completely the inner exploration of the perfect mind of self-sufficiency. It is a poem that has no specific object of writing, but only writes and reads for itself, is the whisper of my own dreams, as if tirelessly depicting a person and thing that does not exist, as if immersed in a kind of fantasy and hallucination, which comes from the unique creative background in which I was at that time, or rather, the illusion produced in my extreme loneliness and despair. Miraculously, in the process, I inadvertently completed my self-healing. Therefore, I fantasize in the poem: "The wine village has been dry for a long time, and the tide is rising and falling on the back", as if I am the savior, in fact, I am not saving others, but looking for the self-salvation of the soul, the good news is that in this process of searching, self-healing is easily completed, and I firmly believe that since I can heal myself, I will be able to heal others.
Day and night when I wrote poetry, I was pouring out to myself every day: a swallow of pure love, the king of the spirit bird, flying low in the dusk, shouting in the eight waters, she never really belonged to a certain person, something, and in the heavens and the earth, everywhere is her shadow... At this moment, it is impossible to distinguish between man and wine, heaven and earth, you and me, the boundary between saint and mortal, everything is in poetry, and everything seems to be a fictional existence, unconsciously, into the whole world of unity.
This is the charm of poetry, everything comes from the creativity of the heart, everything is the manifestation of the heart, just as some people see wine in my poems, some people see Zen Tao, some people see mental law, some people see art, some people see bittersweet, some people see ancient and modern, some people see body phase, of course, some people see..., all seeing is correct! The point is that you decide who you are! At what latitude is your consciousness? Which latitude phase will manifest!
In the process of creating this group of poems, my heart is like a pearl presenting countless aspects, I used my insight to see a lot of spiritual backgrounds that cannot be seen under the surface consciousness, saw all kinds of obsessions, all kinds of loss, all kinds of cultivation obstacles, these are from the deep consciousness information that the naked eye can't see, but in the state of extreme concentration and extreme purity in writing poetry, the various energies that were once squeezed and hidden under the iceberg instantly hit me like a flood breaking the embankment, impacting my soul, and the good thing is that I have turned this power into the driving force of creation, as if I had received divine help, and it can be said that the power of poetry has completed the heart and healed the long-standing pain of the soul.
This "Six-Character Commentary on Famous Artists" is a well-known review selected by Yan Ni with a responsible attitude, and the selected works include: Professor Liao Yuan and Professor Tan Wuchang, a famous poetry critic who can represent the vane of poetry criticism; Professor Hu Fuchen, an internationally renowned Taoist expert and professor of the Institute of Philosophy of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences; Professor Li Jilin, deputy director of the Institute of Philosophy and Culture of the Anhui Academy of Social Sciences; and Mr. Ye Baolin, president of the Xishan Poetry Society in Beijing; Professor Li Angang, a master of traditional Chinese studies; and a famous writer. Professor Jing Yuanhua, a master of ancient culture research and dissemination; Professor Li Zui, president of the Chang'an Laozi Research Institute; Yang Ming, a famous writer; and many poets' commentaries.
The poetry collection of "Six Characters and Sayings" has been positioned by many scholars as "Poetry Classic", "Poetry Classic" and "Wine Classic", and "Six Characters Commentary on Famous Scholars" is even more soulful. These two books differ from the sensational works that are popular in the world, especially the collection of commentaries pays more attention to the innovative thinking of poetry and emphasizes the essence of Sinology culture, with the aim of leading the soaring of human consciousness. Maybe these verses of YanNi are not familiar to people, perhaps Yanni's six-word poems, silent in the vast sea of five-word and seven-word ancient poems, are not valued, but fortunately, thanks to the hands of many famous artists and great talents, they can be presented in front of the world, and I am deeply grateful for the merits of all the teachers!
I do not want to discuss the value of this poetry review from the perspective of "Jing" and "Wei", this article is only from the perspective of spiritual healing to talk about their own creative background, sincerely wish that all readers can get divine revelation in the two books of "Six Characters of Wisdom" and "Review of Famous Scholars of Six Characters", can get self-healing in poetry, and even heal others, I think this is the greatest contribution of this book to mankind! It is also the greatest merit of writing poetry!

Poetry in the form of six words has always been relatively rare, and it is a form that is more difficult to grasp. Wu Yanni originally had no experience in writing ancient poetry, but as soon as she got started, she directly entered this unpopular six-word style, and blossomed like a heavenly opportunity, she met with God in this form, and this form shone with brilliance under her pen.
——Professor Liao Yuan, a famous poetry critic
"Six Words and Sayings" or "Six Words and Wine Classics" can be described as unique and unique in the world! Moreover, his poetry spreads, Confucianism and Taoism are integrated, his ambition is grand, his artistic conception is far-reaching, his singing is exquisite, his words are bold, his wild words are uninhibited, his words are not scrupulous, he has characteristics, realms, and charm, and he is intoxicated and unforgettable to read. Many of her poems can be described as "there is no sentence in the world, and a sentence is a thousand poems." "As a woman, I can write wine poetry to this generosity, height, and depth, which can be described as a hero in wine and a female heroine in poetry."

The Collection of Wine-Road Poems in the Six-Character Sayings is a mysterious force for liberation. Yan Ni is an accomplished researcher and practitioner of Chinese Taoist culture, and her unique monastic experience and profound Taoist connotation have created this unique "Six-Character Sayings", which can be described as a blessing from heaven to people. It is the fruit of Taoist culture, the harvest of wine culture, and a beautiful flower of poetry culture.

The "Six-Character Sayings" is also like the "Six-Character Great Ming Mantra", with exceptionally rich connotations and infinite mysteries, and contains great compassion and great wisdom and great ability in the universe. The weather is magnificent, often chanting with the breath of a real person, the three karmic obstacles are purified, the ultimate achievement, and can break ignorance, open wisdom, eliminate disasters and prolong life.

"Six Words and Sayings" not only brings us the enlightenment of wisdom and the nourishment of the soul, but more importantly, it upgrades our understanding of wine culture and cultivation culture, which is of extraordinary significance, and I believe that readers with hearts will certainly be able to realize the wisdom of the Dao in the poem.
——Jin Gang, Dean of Cangyang Gyatso Poetry Academy
Throughout the ages, there have been many poems written about wine, but the only person who has sublimated wine poetry to the realm of the "Book of Poetry" is Teacher Wu Yanni. If you do not have a deep understanding of wine culture and Zen culture, it is difficult to write about the realm and level of the "Book of Poetry".
——— the famous writer Yang Ming
Regardless of the genre of writing poetry, the mood and taste are the most critical. Poetry has three realms and three tastes, one is the taste of the world, the second is the Zen taste of the Zen realm, and the third is the Xuanjing Xuan taste. Yan Ni's six-word poems, leaving aside the pingshu lattice and rhyme, in terms of the taste of her poems, many of her works have a weak taste of the world, a strong Zen flavor, and a little bit of xuan. Therefore, I call her six-word wine poem "six-word poem".
——Ye Baolin, president of the Xishan Poetry Society in Beijing
"Six Characters and Words" is poetic and mysterious, the realm is elegant, and the text and han are three teachings. These are all the spirituality and wisdom and enlightenment that Yan Ni has been inspired by the historical poetry saints and poets who have been inspired by yanni's deep cultivation. I often use his poems to teach my disciples the essentials of monasticism.
——Yang Yiqing of Wuxi Roaring Mountain Palace
"Six Words of Words" is emotional and broken, and the sublimation of emotions without departing from the taste of meditation is really rare. Drink good wine and dream of red lotus, chant and be proud of the craftsman, and hold the cup full of xia and nothing. Virtual and real, void and color, finite and infinite, tangible and intangible, are in wine, in poetry, in words, in words and without words.
——Li Xinhua, researcher of the Expert Committee of the Great Wall Society of China and chief cultural tutor of the Beijing Banruo Wisdom Alliance
"Six Characters of Words", clear pen lighting, tincture is really interesting, smoke is full of paper, zhiyin broken piano. Under the hops, a Zen dan. True and false, red water for thousands of years.
——Dang Wenhua, president of Laozi College in Hanguguan, Henan
Looking at the beauty and splendor of the "Six Characters", I suddenly feel relaxed and pleasant, like a Daigo empowerment, a cool and free getaway, and a manna and a breeze on Mount Meru. Worthy of the words of dionysus, the true transmission of Du Kang's top secret will.
