Every time you shoot, bitter water has poured into your throat; every time you drop your pen, there is a level of storming wind and rain. This is the state of writing poetry in Du Fuzhong and his later years.
One autumn day in 767 AD, Du Zimei was still as poor and bitter as before. Dragging the sick body, he ascended to the high platform outside the White Emperor City in Kuizhou.
He, who had not written poetry for many days, was shocked by the desolate scene in front of him, and he sighed: Isn't my life like this autumn coolness? With mixed feelings, he silently wrote, and a divine work was born:
Ascend
The wind was rushing, and the tall apes roared, and the white bird flew back to Nagisa.
Boundless falling wood, endless Yangtze River rolling in.
Wanli Is often a guest in the autumn and has been sick for more than a hundred years.
Hardship and bitterness, frost sideburns, scribble the newly stopped cloudy wine glass.
Xiaomei still remembers that when "Qing Yu Nian" was popular that year, the male protagonist Fan Xian once surprised four with this poem. Afterwards, many people sighed: "Poetry is good poetry, but Fan Xian is such a young man, why would he write such a twilight work?" Although many people suspect that this poem was not written by Fan Xian, no one dares to question its level, after all, is the Tang poem "Crown of the Seven Laws" so easy to take?
Regarding the praise of the dynasties and dynasties, Xiaomei will not say much, in the final analysis, it is a sentence: few people dare to say that it is "not good". That's it!
However, who would have thought that this amazing millennium work would be handed down to the present day and that a great poet would pick out the so-called "hard wound". Moreover, he also proposed his own reform, saying: I can change it better. What's going on here? And contemporary listen to Xiaomei in detail.
The great contemporary poet who dared to question Du Fu was named Zhao Que, a post-70s poet who had become popular in recent years, and his works had appeared in many newspapers. In 2008, he was also named an outstanding young poet at the Beijing Chinese Poetry Summit. In short, in the contemporary poetry circle, he is a red man.
Zhao Que loves classical culture and is also running for the promotion of traditional poetry on weekdays. But at the same time, he also proposed that the poet should return to his true nature and not "deify" any poet. This has also been recognized by a large number of fans.
At the same time, he also pointed out that there is no 100% perfect poetry, and even "Ascending" has a clear hard wound. This hard wound appears in the neck joint.
He believes that the word "guest" in "Thousands of Miles of Sorrow and Autumn is often a guest, and more than a hundred years of illness have been on the stage alone", and the word "guest" is almost meaningless. The word "guest" is difficult to compete with the "stage" in the back, and "work" and "board" are both verbs, barely able to match. However, "guest" as a noun is not vivid enough, and it is difficult to correspond with the word "desk" in the back.
Zhao Que believes that since this is the case, it is better to modify the word "guest." Anyway, they all express that they are wandering outside, so it is better to change it to "Wanli Sorrowful Autumn is always in the Tao", "Wanli Sorrowful Autumn Often Asks" and so on. "Tao" and "Platform" are specific nouns, very graphic.
It sounds literally, this change is indeed very reasonable, but after tasting it carefully, Xiaomei cannot agree to this change.
As the Qing Dynasty scholar He Zhuo said, highlighting "ten thousand miles as a guest" is actually to echo the word "difficult", and the meaning is very deep. A "guest" word is the source of all the poet's sorrow, and the hardships of wandering away are not just as simple as "often asking" and "always being in the Tao", but also the pain of sending people under the fence, and the bitterness of involuntariness. After Zhao Que changed it like this, the meaning of tragic autumn was at least lowered to a high level, and the meaning was much less.
What kind of exquisite person du Fu was in terms of fighting, and could he not think of the use of "always in the Tao"? In fact, his "Ascension" has already achieved eight sentences, which is already very remarkable.
The reason why he did not deliberately pay attention to the perfect battle on the word "guest" is because as an experienced poet, he knows that he cannot waste poetry because of words. A good poem cannot be damaged by the whole poetic mood in order to pursue 100% confrontation. Therefore, this sentence can never be changed.
In ancient times, like Du Fu, there were many masters who ranked their intentions before the law. For example, Li Bai, who has never been casual in writing poetry, if he really wants to think about fighting word by word, where is the "will enter the wine" in "The king does not see the water of the Yellow River rising from the sky, rushing to the sea and never returning."
Don't tell us that "Du Fu is the Seven Laws, the laws should be in the front, and the meaning should be in the back", there is no such reason. For any poetic body, the law and the words themselves serve the meaning. This will never change.
Summary: Of course, we cannot deify any poet and any work, and du Fu's poems do have works of average level. Therefore, the author greatly appreciates the attitude of Zhao Que's great poet to examine poetry. Just to be a good poetry critic, contemporary poets still have a long way to go. What do you think about this? Discussion is welcome.
