As the saying goes: Wen Wu is the first, Wu wu is the second. Who in the world who writes articles dares to brag that they are the first? You said I don't have to blow, as long as I write well, others will naturally blow for me, but that doesn't work either.
Because an article is so good, its selection criteria are too "abstract". As the saying goes: each flower goes into each eye. A thousand readers, a thousand Hamlets.
Good articles are like this, and so are good poetry and songs. But now there is a poem, which is considered to be "the first Song word", and this song is Su Shi's "Nian Nu Jiao Chibi Huaigu".
First, the origin of the name "Song Ci First"
Why is this song considered to be the first song word? Where did this first statement come from? It turned out that in 2009, the Qilu Academic Journal published an article by a scholar called "The Classicization of the First Song Ci "Nian Nu Jiao Chibi Huaigu"" (宋辞第一号) "Nian Nu Jiao Chibi Huaigu".
The author of this article is a lecturer at the School of Humanities of Jinggangshan University and a doctoral supervisor at Wuhan University. The two scholars refer to and analyze the poetry anthologies of the Song, Jin, Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties and different historical periods.
As a result, they were surprised to find that in the selection of poems in previous dynasties, Su Shi's "Nian Nu Jiao Chibi Huaigu" had been selected for 87 times in the collection of important ancient poems, and its singing and works reached 133. After the 20th century, there were as many as 186 articles studying the term.
In addition, this song "Nian Nu Jiao Chibi Huaigu" also performs very well on the big data of multiple search engines. So they came to a conclusion: Su Shi's poem was "the first song poem".
The "second place of Song Ci" rated this time is Yue Fei's "Man Jiang Hong", which was originally selected only 35 times in the poetry collection, far lower than the 64 times of "third place" Li Qingzhao's "Slow Sound". However, it has many related research articles after entering the 20th century, so it ranks second.
Li Qingzhao's "Slow Sound", although the online search index is more than three times that of the second place "Manjiang Hong", and also exceeds the "first place" "Nian Nu Jiao Chibi Huaigu" 40 million search times, but there are few research articles, so it can only rank third.
However, the conclusions drawn from this research method can only show that "Nian Nu Jiao Chibi Huaigu" after the Yuan and Ming Dynasties, especially in modern and contemporary times, "heat is the first", and it does not mean that it is the "best Song Word".
It must be said that it is the best, not to mention that the fans of Li Qingzhao and Xin Zhiyi will not be convinced. Even Su Shi's own fans did not necessarily agree. Because in addition to this poem, Su Shi also has many masterpieces such as "Jiang Chengzi" and "Linjiang Immortal".
"Nian Nu Jiao Chibi Huaigu" is the work of Su Shi when he was demoted to the deputy envoy of the Huangzhou Regiment, according to the research of two scholars, this word has a general influence in the Song Dynasty, and only one of the four major words of the Song Dynasty has been selected to include it.
However, after the rise of Yuanqu and Ming and Qing novels, its status was gradually improved. Obviously, there is no way to get rid of the indirect impact of the popularity of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".
Second, what is the good of "Nian Nu Jiao Chibi Nostalgia"?
"Nian Nu Jiao Chibi Huaigu" - Northern Song Dynasty Su Shi
The great river goes east, the waves are exhausted, and the characters of the ages are flowing.
To the west of the old fortress, humanity is, three kingdoms Zhou Lang Chibi.
Rocks pierced through the air, the waves crashed on the shore, and a thousand piles of snow rolled up.
The country is picturesque, and there are many heroes at a time.
In the year of Gongjin, Xiao Qiao was married for the first time and was majestic and heroic.
Lupine scarf, between talk and laughter, the tree ashes disappear.
The homeland is wandering, amorous should laugh at me, early birth Huafa.
Life is like a dream, a statue is still in the moon.
"Nian Nu Jiao Chibi Huaigu" is a representative work of Su Shi's "bold words", and Su Shi himself likes this song very much, because its appearance has changed and broadened the creative theme of Song Ci, and also made Song Ci more genre.
Before the rise of bold words, poetry and words were affectionate. The word is "Yanke", which is dedicated to some of the passages of children's love. However, Su Shi's bold words also introduced the sentiment of poetry into the lyrics, which greatly improved the style of the lyrics.
This is also a big reason why the successive generations of word selections have refused to fall behind it. "Nian Nu Jiao Chibi Huaigu" is a masterpiece in Su Shihao's words, and its appearance symbolizes the maturity of the Song Dynasty's haofang words.
Since then, Song Ci has also had two very different styles: "Kansai Han, holding an iron plate to sing 'Great River East Go'" and "Eighteen-year-old young girl, holding a red tooth plate singing 'Yang Liu'an, Xiao Feng Remnant Moon'".
As a mature masterpiece of Su Shihao's words, "Nian Nu Jiao Chibi Huaigu" is a topic that can never be bypassed by word critics of all generations when talking about the history of words. Therefore, he is mentioned very frequently in word selection and word reviews, which is normal.
Su Shi's life has created a lot of bold words, why is the most popular one is this "Nian Nu Jiao Chibi Nostalgia"? I would like to sum it up for the following two reasons.
First, Su Shirong's poetry creation method began to fill in the words, which greatly improved the style of the words; second, there are historical allusions in the words, there are heroes, there are beauty, and the content is popular enough.
We have already said a lot about the first point, and we will not repeat it here. To judge whether an article or a poem is good or not, the first thing to look at is its "originality".
The "originality" here refers to the difference between the word and the words of the predecessors either in terms of creative techniques or on the level of thought. And this difference makes the artistic level, thoughts and emotions of this word have been improved to a certain extent.
Su Shi turned the song words expressing "erotic feelings" into "long and short sentences" that described the ideal sentiments of the literati, and created a genre of Song words, that is, the "bold school".
According to the Song Dynasty's "Continuation of blowing swords", since "Nian Nu Jiao Chibi Huaigu" is the most proud poem of Su Shi's own life, it will naturally be valued by future generations.
As for the second, it is because Su Shi's creative topic involves the popular "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" of literary and artistic creation after the Yuan Dynasty, so it is natural that the "singing" works, research articles and searches are extremely hot.
I don't want to deny here that the song is well written, but the highlights it has are actually not so prominent compared to other song words. The reason why "Nian Nu Jiao Chibi Huaigu" has become the "first song word", the focus is still on a "name" word.
It is famous, first of all, the author himself has made a breakthrough in artistic creation. As for the content, such as the use of "the great river goes east" to compare the passage of time, it is not Su Shi's initiative. The content involved in the words is nothing more than a person's dream before the prime of life.
Su Shi was 48 years old when he wrote this poem, and in the words he fantasized about himself, becoming Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu in the Three Kingdoms era. Waving on the battlefield and being able to hold a beautiful person are the worldly wishes that ordinary people yearn for.
Until the last sentence, "Amorous should laugh at me, early birth Huafa" This shows that when he was almost 50 years old, he was still dreaming of "secondary two diseases" like a teenager, and he could not talk about any profound thinking.
Therefore, when someone compared this poem "Nian Nu Jiao Chibi Huaigu" with Yang Shen's "Linjiang Xian And Rolling Yangtze River East Passing Water", they would insist that Yang Shen wrote it better.
Of course, on this issue, I have already said at the beginning of the article, "Wen Wu is the first, Wu Wu is the second", which is a matter of opinion.
epilogue
What is so good about "Nian Nu Jiao Chibi Nostalgia", I think the language textbook has made it very clear. For those of us today, if we want to learn its strengths, we only need to go through the language books.
But if someone wants to ask why Su Shi's "Nian Nu Jiao Chibi Huaigu" can become the "first Song Ci", then I can only say that it is because of the following two points:
First, it is a landmark work of the Song Dynasty "Bold School"; second, it takes the characters of the Three Kingdoms as the theme, just in time for the "good times", and is frequently quoted by later Yuanqu and Ming and Qing novels, so its singing and lyrics and research articles rank first in the Song Dynasty.
