In the spring of March, the spring water is gradually emerging, and the spring breeze is blowing, which is a good time to read ancient poems. The People's Literature Publishing House recently launched "Classical Spring Water: Twelve Lectures on Pan Xiangli's Ancient Poetry", and six heavy guests, including Zhu Yongxin, Li Jingze, Bi Feiyu, Pan Kaixiong, Ouyang Jianghe, and Peng Min, gathered together to talk about the past and the present around poetry and life.
"Classical Spring Water: Twelve Lectures on Ancient Poetry of Pan Xiangli" is a collection of ancient poetry essays recently created by writer Pan Xiangli, which talks about nearly 60 ancient literati and immerses in more than 100 ancient poems. The book is divided into twelve chapters, the first six chapters are from the "amorous", nostalgia, melancholy, female beauty, time, beauty and other six small incisions into the pen, but only written with great affection and weather. As far as the "Book of Poetry" and as close as "Dream of the Red Chamber", the poems in the poem are easy to pick up, don't come out of the machine, and there are many amazing words; the last six chapters focus on the portraits of the middle and late Tang dynasty poets, Yan Shu and Yan Jidao, Ouyang Xiu and Zhou Bangyan, Su Dongpo, Lu You, Xin Zhiyi, one person and one question, full of brilliance, not only the past love is deep, but also the writing is more proficient in ancient and modern.
The book is also a collection of essays that arise from and end from love, and what surges between the lines is a sincere feeling that spans the ages and is connected with sorrow and joy. The whole book not only talks about the wonders of ancient poetry in the past, but also talks about life with affection, father-daughter affection, beautiful love, and friendship of the deceased, which is touching to read. The prologue "Du Fu Ambushes In Middle Age Waiting for Me", starting from his differences with his father (famous scholar and Professor Pan Xulan of Fudan University) around Du Fu, writing about his father's death, writing about the company of ancient poems to help her tide over the difficulties, and the "father-daughter affection" that pervades the words between the lines touches the heavens and the earth.
In the view of literary critic Li Jingze, the book can be said to be an archive of Chinese emotions, or an archive of life, and the author has divided the two sides of Chinese poetry and Chinese, and the emotions in Chinese and Chinese poetry, and talked about our sense of history and the poetry of Yongshi. Li Jingze believes that Pan Xiangli actually put her life and her emotions into it to re-read and reinterpret, so that the ancient poems can be brightened and new, and become our own poems.
Writer Bi Feiyu believes that Pan Xiangli's writing is more like archaeology, an aesthetic archaeology or poetic aesthetic archaeology, in this archaeological process, she painted us some spectra, which is particularly interesting.
Peng Min, the winner of the fifth season of the Chinese Poetry Conference and deputy director of the editorial department of the Poetry Journal, believes that the author pulls back those poets who are worshiped and looked up to sit on an equal footing with us and look at each other, which helps to narrow the distance between ancient poetry, poets and general readers.
