"No praise, just move."
——Impression of Chen Jingliang's "Ten Poems""
Liu Jiao
At the intersection of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, a shining concept, philosophical art, emerged. It was a lightning bolt drawn by modern playwrights such as Ibsen of Norway, Strindberg of Sweden, and Metlingk of Belgium with a pioneering attitude in the field of art. Although it is powerless to break down the previous barriers, it has illuminated another bright path for literature and literature.
When life is no longer about survival, people will never be satisfied with the blandness of water, otherwise there will be no food and gastronomic culture. The same is true of spiritual needs and pursuits. As a result, the lightning bolt of philosophical rationality in the literary world frequently appeared in the sky. After that, novels, stories, essays, poetry, and other light converge into a day full of hope.
Mr. Chen Jingliang's poem is a beam of light in this day.
Philosophical reason is artistic. Brother Jingliang is well versed in the way and knows the law. He could not bear the dryness and blandness of his poetic works, always stood at the forefront of poetry, pursued full connotation and external expression, and finally achieved a deep fit between philosophy and poetry. He didn't have to destroy anything, because Brother Jingliang rejected mediocrity and said goodbye to the unobstructed narrative at once. He has a philosophical mind, but he is very concerned about the mysteries of expression skills. For example, in "Former Residence", the poet enlightens Zen and thinks about the world, "the back that is repeatedly blown apart and gathered" is inseparable from the homeland. It is difficult to leave and return, just like "a grain of sand in the desert". However, the former residence has a feeling of sorrow and lack of clouds and clouds, and there is a sense of wounded green silk and white hair, which is a realistic state of existence. Brother Jingliang reflects on life and human nature in the gap between reality and virtuality, and then uses the deliberate combination of words to awaken the original complex in the secular flesh, so that the desolation and coldness in the heart return to the former residence where even the fallen leaves are speechless. He puts a rational thing in front of you by peeling away the cocoon layer by layer: "wandering is home, and returning is the center", which is bound to cause resonance and resonance among readers.
Brother Jingliang's philosophical view is not completely exposed, and it is more common or hidden by the surface and the inside. For example, poems such as "Crescent Spring", "Fingerprint", "Walking with a River" and so on take the experience formed from the aesthetic photography of life into philosophy, and then penetrate and melt into the words and lines of the text, which is both concrete and abstract, both details in life and rhymes that want to speak and stop, empowering the text in many directions. The poem is in the reason, the reason is outside the poem, it does not show its voice, and it shows the wisdom outside, "hold back the footsteps, and leave the diffuse snow to the wordless world." Savor, like the smile of the Mona Lisa, it is a unique and imaginative emoji, let your mind fly and reverie at will.
Brother JingLiang can always put philosophy in the text, extract it dialectically, and then go through the purgatory of thought, have a unique hole, be creative, write poetry in a normal mentality, write poetry in extraordinary skills, speak where there is no expression, listen to thunder in the silent place, and flash the point of light of modernist literary creation. Reading his poems, people always feel that there is a philosophical consciousness flowing, and there is a kind of emotion that touches the heart and is secretly surging. Reading his poems, always sighing, sighing, sighing again, always thinking, thinking, thinking again. As he put it in Butterfly Wings: "If it can be described by a light word / Then how heavy should all the thinness in the world be / If two hidden doors are used / If a folded heart / If... Well, fly/without praise, just move".
So respect the poet, don't praise, just move!

【Ten Poems】
Chen Jingliang (Guangdong)
1. Former residence
The sunset and the scriptures are not enough
They will all fall in clay pots of the night
Only the back that has been repeatedly blown apart and gathered
Only worthy of a grain of sand in the desert
There was only the desolation of the former residence and the rusty lock
Only worthy of the aphasia of a fallen leaf
In a well, the cold of the moonlight
- "Wandering is home, home is center"
2. Crescent Spring
Boundless, is the sand gathered in the palm of the hand
Hold it. Hold on to glorious rhetoric and golden language
This is not enough. It also needs a pair of God's dreaming hands
Rise the waves of the qin sea. Just enough to carry
Two boats led by black and white
Enough to give a sense of transcendence and ritual in it or looking at it from afar
Like a church standing on the outskirts
There are ancient keys, but they don't need to be opened
3. Butterfly wings
If you can use a "light" word to describe
So how heavy should all the "thin" in the world be
If you use two false doors
If with a folded heart
If...... Well, fly
No praise, just move
4. Dialects
Lost sea waters in the desert
Lost sand in the sea
In the price they had to pay
Remove the disguise and break the silence
- Recognize each other. afterwards
Only then did I realize that it was the smooth skin that was in exile
Rough birthmark never
Get out of the position
5. Fingerprints
Moss in the courtyard, feeding the thin moon in the well
Epitaph, soothing the soul of a stranger
Agarwood incense on the trees, sinking boats under the water, footprints in front of the temple
All have a glass heart to build
Tenacity and silence, emptiness and eternity
In fact, none of this is anything
What surprised and puzzled me was that
The sea is full of rivers, but it makes a small bird stop
Day and night only one futile thing to do
------------------
6. Guan Shan Yue
Stare. To understand the unexpected
Blow or cover
Abyss, steep, desperate...
There were sword marks that had been slashed by the moonlight
They will be painful and happy
Build on yourself
Like two sides of a copper mirror
Hazy youth
Clear middle age
7. The beauty of middle age
Rich bamboo. Evergreen, durable, good temper
A discarded plastic bottle can feed it
Clivia. If you keep it, you die
As soon as her voice dropped, the transparent glass lit up
The Ridge of the Earth is because of love. Divert a river
The fire of the sky fell the first spring light because of a river
She is in love. Love the waves in the clay pot
Storm on the keys. Love chess pieces are black and white
The bells are ancient, and the years are kind. The flower field belongs to heaven and earth
The wine is still strong. If you love, treasure first
8. Flowing water diversion
"The water of the Yellow River rises from heaven". Vast, vast, vast
This imaginative Xiongqi and the Tang Dynasty behind this Xiongqi
Well, flow is the soul of water
The floating corpses of the flowing Ganges are wrapped in the confusion of the Buddha's heart
Shame on you! I'm still thinking about it
The memory of coffee, the pressure of a power outage, the alarm clock and the origin of running water
Well, the moon on the first six nights of April is a crooked boat
It is a shell in an arc
It's running water. Caressing: The Confusion of Jerusalem
The melancholy of Gaza
9. Eyes
- Eyes
A word that goes deep into the interior of jade before lightning
Named after the sedimentary sand, a river is named
The extreme sobriety that preceded the prophet was struck
There was no reason to refuse May to sit down next to her
"When you understand a little flower from head to root,
You understand God and man. ”①
Plants should grow, and small flowers should bloom
She's going to rain, it's going to rain, it's going to rain
She's leaving
Just listen. Don't alarm the stars on your fingertips
Don't ignore the power of white space
There is nothing like waiting in silence for lost love and sorrow
More than that– intoxicated and cherished

10. Take a river for a walk
The name of Dongshan River borrows the light of Dongshan Ridge
The name of Dongshan Ridge borrows the light of the comeback of Dongshan Mountain
Comeback! It should be borrowed from the light of the eastern goat
How many years did it take for the Dongshan River to form
I do not know
Construction drawings, measuring instruments, migrant workers
When dredging the stomach of the city of Wanning
Sand that is more expensive than gold in the eyes of the villagers
"These ancient desert brothers"
Confirmed my hearsay
Changing the course of a river
It only takes a year, or three months
Walk on the banks of the Dongshan River. Sometimes I go, sometimes she goes
Sometimes, we are confidants. Sometimes, we are wrongdoers
Invited
Special invitation
Why did we open the "Invited Poets" section?
In the chaotic literary world and poetry circles, hierarchical groups and good and bad works are not the same, in such a situation, it is not easy to find a potential poet and writer, and excavate potential works.
Teacher Sun Li said: "Poetry mainly deals with the external world that cannot be expressed in words, and presents a fiction of the Chinese language itself. This "fiction", in the 100 years since the development of new poetry, has been expanded to "infinitely large" (with the development of modern Chinese poetry).
In order to present a variety of high-quality works to everyone, we have specially opened the "Invited Poets" column, aiming to find potential poets and writers from the vast sea of poetry, and tap the potential of you.
