Cover news reporter Zeng Jie photographic report
On February 12, the 1310th anniversary of Du Fu's birth, people who loved Du Fu and Du Shi met the writer Ah Lai in the Alai Study. Sponsored by Chuanguan News, Cover News and Shanghang Culture, the "Du Fu Chengdu Poetry - Alai Lecture Series" was unveiled in the Alai Study Room of the Western Cultural Industry Center of Sichuan News Group, and Alai used a poem "Chengdu Fu" as a clue to interpret the relationship between Du Fu and Chengdu and poetry, and how Shaoling poetry and Shu shan shui complement each other.
Zhou Dong was in the Alai Study
"What is a qualified Chengdu person?" I think that Chengdu not only has pandas, hot pots and mahjong, but people living in Chengdu should also go to Du Fu Caotang to understand Du Fu's living conditions in Chengdu and read some Du Shi, only in this way can we better understand the inclusiveness of the city. After listening to Mr. Alai's lecture, zhou Dong, the famous host and the main speaker of the Eastern Zhou Society, benefited a lot.
On February 7, the day of The People's Day, Zhou Dong and Ah Lai met at Du Fu Caotang and presented a plum blossom to Du Fu at the Gongbu Ancestral Hall. When he learned that Ah Lai was about to give a lecture on "Du Fu's Chengdu Poems," he was also a fan of Du Fu, and he came to Ah Lai's study early this afternoon, expecting Ah Lai to explain what Chengdu looked like in the eyes of this writer and the weight of Du Fu in his heart. Zhou Dong's ancestral home is Henan, and like Du Fu, he is "Rong Drift", and when he recites Du's poems, he has a natural sense of intimacy.
In 759 AD, Du Fu came to Chengdu several times and wrote "The First Impression of Rongcheng" into a poem "Chengdu Fu", which began with "Feng Feng Sang Yu Day, according to my clothes." I walk in the mountains and rivers, and suddenly on the side of the sky." During the lecture, Ah Lai interpreted the poem's words and sentences in detail, the allusions and provenances, and the humorous and humorous language won the applause of the audience.
Zhou Dong saw the city's tolerance from this poem "Chengdu Fu", "but when the new people, I did not know my hometown", Du Fu experienced the upheaval and displacement after the war, and finally settled in Chengdu, and felt the warmth brought by the city. Du Fu wrote more than 240 poems in Chengdu, and Chengdu also used a Du Fu Caotang to express his nostalgia for poetry. As Mr. Li Changxiang said, Shaoling poetry, shu landscape breath; Shu landscape, get Shaoling poetry, Du Fu and Chengdu mutual achievements, thousands of years of literary veins are endless. He was overwhelmed by the power of cultural heritage.
Zhou Dong is also a dushi propagator
Alai uses a series of lectures to let everyone know about Du Shi, and Zhou Dong continues to do "reading Du Shi" and being a disseminator of Du Shi like Ah Lai. He hoped to complete a huge project in his lifetime, recording more than 1,400 poems written by Du Fu in multiple forms of recitation and interpretation, and disseminating them in a modern way. "In addition to reciting Du Shi, I hope to learn from Mr. Ah Lai, interpret Du Shi's creative background, artistic attainments, and spiritual enjoyment in a simple and understandable way, and use the power of sound to spread Du Shi culture and pay tribute to Shi Sheng." Interestingly, Zhou Dong recited and sang Du poems in the Henan dialect and found a different sense of musical beauty. In the future, he will continue to recite Du poems in Sichuan dialect and Henan dialect, colliding with more sparks.
I am glad to hear that Ah Lai Study will hold two lectures every month, and Zhou Dong is very much looking forward to it, "Ah Lai has done a good deed, I want to not fall behind, enjoy the cultural feast." In his view, Du Fu lived in Chengdu for 3 years and 9 months, sketched a long scroll for Chengdu with more than 240 poems, and left the smoke and fire of the city well in Shushan and Shushui with wen and ink. He will also study du Fu's poems written in Chengdu, forming personal interpretations into words and attracting more people to study these Poems.
