He was an upright man, a profound scholar, and a master-level philosopher. This sentence is the evaluation given by Zhou Ruchang, a red scholar, to a Chinese, who is Gu Sui. Gu Sui also has the identity of a poet, he has an in-depth study of mainland classical poetics, combined with his own creative experience and aesthetic taste, put forward extraordinary poetic ideas. Gu Sui is also a person worthy of admiration, he is full of peach and plum, and he is loved by students. Today, we will enjoy the ten poems written by Gu Sui together, experience the sense of life spirit behind the poems, and believe that you will feel something.
Gu Sui was born in a turbulent period, his body was weak, his heart was sensitive, and because of the death of his mother, he had a sad mood in his heart, and this emotion never changed in his creative life. Gu Sui has adhered to the creative pursuit of "art for life" all his life, and his achievements in the fields of poetry, miscellaneous drama, and novels are outstanding. But in the modern literary history of the mainland, Gu Sui was a "hidden master", most people did not know who Gu Sui was, but his disciples were well known, such as Ye Jiaying and Zhou Ruchang. Therefore, Gu Sui is a lonely existence, and at the moment, the spread of fame is so small that people can't help but sigh.
In Gu Sui's eyes, a true poet needs to go through the trials of life in order to write powerful and praised poems. During his lifetime, he admired three poets, one was Cao Cao in the Three Kingdoms period, the second was Tao Yuanming in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and the third was Du Fu in the Tang Dynasty. He believes that Cao Cao is a poet among heroes, Du Fu is a hero in poetry, and Tao Yuanming is a philosopher among poets. These three predecessor poets are not genius poets in Gu Sui's eyes, but they have all experienced the tempering of life, so that life and life are pinned on poetry, so that poetry has a soul, rather than nothing, no power, no "thickness" content.
In the role of poetry, Gu Sui has his own opinions. He stressed that the main function of poetry is not to educate people, but to move people with poetry. In addition, Gu Sui believes that good poetry is a bridge that can make readers and authors become confidants, and is a medium that leads readers and authors to have a sense of empathy for life, so that poetry can live endlessly, and this view can also clarify Gu Sui's creative ideas of pursuing a sense of life spirit throughout his life. Moreover, Gu Sui believes that love is the core quality of poetry, and it is the most vivid and charming aesthetic of people. But he does not only focus on emotions, he in the creation of poetry, let the feelings of the flesh and emotions, thoughts into one, so that the identity of the poet to the identity of the philosopher, this is the highest state of poetry creation.
It is undeniable that Gu Sui's poems embody special aesthetic qualities, and he pursues a profound detachment based on "truth" in his works. For literary cai, Gu Sui also attaches great importance to it, and the beauty of literary cai is the most basic quality of literature, so his poems are catchy and endlessly after reading. From the perspective of poetic connotation, Gu Sui believes that poetry can reflect the character of poets, which is the highest aesthetic pursuit of poetry, and it is also an important reason why poetry can withstand the test of time and endure. "Force" is the core concept of Gu Sui's poetic aesthetics, and the "force" he believes is not the language power of literary skills, but the power of the poet based on life and nature, and infused into the life spirit in poetry.
From Gu Sui's poetic thought, it can be seen that he pays special attention to the concept of life, which in turn affects the poetic view and poetry creation, and the life experience and the "tempering" of people are important reasons for the formation of different views of life. Therefore, the external beauty of Gu Sui's poetry is not the most artistic value, and to appreciate Gu Sui's poetry, we must deeply understand it, read more and taste more, and deeply study the deep meaning behind the text, in order to feel Gu Sui's great achievements in literature. I really like Gu Sui's poetry too much, his poetry has the idea of a philosopher, no wonder, his disciple Zhou Ruchang called him a master-level philosopher.
It must be said that Gu Sui mainly writes old poems, which is because of an agreement between him and his friend Feng Zhi that the two will keep one, Feng Zhi will not write old poems, and Gu Sui will not write new poems. His poetry is rich and real, And Lu Xun once called him "China's most outstanding lyric poet," but he faded through history and faded in fame, and it is fitting to call him a "hidden master."
According to records, Gu Sui was born on February 13, 1897, today is his 125th birthday, let's enjoy his ten poems together, experience the sense of life spirit emanating from the words and the noble personality of the poet, I believe you will like it.
