In modern times, in the Meizhou region of the mainland, eight idle people are collectively known as the "Eight Sages of Meizhou". Among these eight people, there is a poet giant, who is known as the "revolutionary giant of the poetry world", he is the explorer and practitioner of the new school of poetry, and he is also an outstanding poet from the mainland to the world. He is also a minister of the Qing Dynasty and a patriotic poet, who has many identities in his body, and is widely praised as "the first person in modern China to go to the world", and is called by Liang Qichao as one of the "Three Masters of the World in recent times", he is Huang Zunxian. Today, we will enjoy the ten poems of the Qing Dynasty poet Huang Zunxian and experience the ideological connotations behind their words.
Huang Zunxian was born in Meizhou City, Guangzhou, and under the influence of his family, he was well educated from an early age. Later, he came to Beijing to live with his father, who was working in the Ministry of Households in Beijing, and at the same time befriended some official figures. When he followed his father to Yantai to roam, Huang Zunxian met Zhang Mengheng and Li Hongzhang, and in front of them, Huang Zunxian spoke naturally and logically, and was called "hegemonic" by Li Hongzhang. After the move, Huang Zunxian was given the opportunity to go to Japan and the United States, broadened his horizons, and also began his diplomatic career. Due to the death of his mother, he returned from the United States. Later, he embarked on a second diplomatic journey and embarked on the diplomatic road of London, England.
Because of his life and experience overseas, Huang Zunxian had seen Western technology and the Restoration Movement at the end of the Qing Dynasty, and he resolutely participated in the change of law. However, history has been frozen, the restoration ended in failure, and Huang Zunxian was imprisoned, but he was not killed because of his extensive friendships and Japan, Britain, etc. In his later years, Huang Zunxian returned to his hometown, immersed himself in the study of new poetic styles, and set up a school to be enthusiastic about the education cause in his hometown, and eventually died of illness in his hometown at the age of fifty-eight. Six years after his death, the Qing Dynasty collapsed and feudalism ended on the mainland.
According to records, there are more than 1,100 surviving poems by Huang Zunxian, which are rich in content and full of patriotic enthusiasm, and at the same time have exotic landscape customs, which add new meanings and characteristics to mainland poetry. His poems not only have a wide range of subjects and a wide range of realms, but also include some small poems about the celestial universe. There are many genres, new artistic conceptions, new techniques, not only classical poetry, but also the creation of new poems, and new things such as foreign customs and customs are included in Huang Zunxian's poems. Of course, although some of his poems are new, they have not departed from the traditional national customs of the mainland and have not lost the foundation of the traditional culture of the mainland, which is the most precious.
In terms of language, Huang Zunxian is even more colorful, and his poems not only contain the essence of Chinese with a broad and profound understanding, but also exist dialects and foreign languages. He can introduce the essence of ancient folk songs into his poetry, and he can also make the poetry connotation exotic, create a new artistic conception, and make his poetry elegant and popular, with super high artistic value. In addition, Huang Zunxian has some super-long poems, and uses long sentences that are rarely used in ancient poetry, reflecting the poet's amazing courage and rich experience, and can also see the poet's sense of progress.
It is worth mentioning that Huang Zunxian has made Chinese poetry go global, thanks to his experience as a diplomat abroad. He used the art of mainland poetry to depict foreign scenes, such as: Mt. Fuji, cherry blossoms, Ceylon Reclining Buddha, Eiffel Tower, Zurich Canal, London Fog, etc., from Southeast Asia to Southwest Asia, from Central Europe to Southern Europe, the first poem about exotic styles, fresh and beautiful, bright color, both traditional and innovative, he let the mainland traditional cultural poetry to the world, which is a major achievement of Huang Zunxian in poetry, worth remembering for future generations.
Moreover, Huang Zunxian was born in a period of vigorous scientific and technological development, when the world was civilized and lived in capitalist countries for a long time, and such things as steam engines, telegrams, cameras, etc. appeared in his poetry, so that his poetry had the sound, light, chemical, and electrical elements of modern life. He is a pioneer of poetry, a crucial poet who emerged in the process of the transformation of classical poetry into modern poetry, new moods and new expressions, while not losing traditional ideas, but also let the Western elements organically integrate into poetry, Huang Zunxian's poems have done it.
