Read "Yellow Crane Tower" again and laugh about poetry
Text/Ai Xiaodong
Yellow Crane Tower (Don Cui Hao)
The people of the past have gone by the Yellow Crane, and the Yellow Crane Tower is empty here.
The yellow crane is gone, and the white clouds are long in the air.
Harukawa calendar Hanyang tree, spring grass and parrot island.
Where is the Nippori Pass, the Yanbo River makes people sad.
【The ancients commented on Cui Hao's "Yellow Crane Tower"】
"Canglang Poetry": The Tang Dynasty's seven-word poem, when Cui Hao's "Yellow Crane Tower" is the first.
The Southern Song Dynasty Yan Yu's Canglang Poetry is one of the most prestigious works of poetic theory and aesthetics in Chinese history. Countless poetry critics for thousands of years, no one dares to say that "Yellow Crane Tower" is not the first, this is the first source of "the first law under the heavens".
Li Bai climbed the tower to read this poem, leaving behind the sigh of "there is a scene in front of you, Cui Hao's inscription poem is on the top", did not dare to write "Yellow Crane Tower" again, quietly left, arrived at Jinling, Handan toddler, endowed "Dengjin Ling Phoenix Platform", invincible to Cui Shi:
Phoenix on the phoenix stage phoenix tour, phoenix to the Taikong River self-flow.
WuGong flowers and grass buried in the path, the Jin Dynasty crown into an ancient hill.
Three mountains and half of the blue sky, two waters divided into egret islands.
There are always floating clouds that can cover the sun, and Chang'an is not seen to make people sad.
The first four sentences of Cui Hao's "Yellow Crane Tower" are informal, and the last four sentences are emotional. Ethereal, high and far away, clear and confused, and natural. If the sky is in the sky, the pen of God is enough to resist Li and Du and become a song for eternity.
【Brief Description of Poetry disease】
The "poetic disease" originated from the "eight diseases" proposed by Shen Yue of the Southern Dynasty Liang (502-557), and successive poets have mixed praise and criticism of the "eight diseases". After more than a thousand years, successive generations of poets have their own views on "poetry diseases" and "taboos", and contemporary people have summarized these "poetry diseases" and "taboos" into a pot, plus a variety of "spices" stewed together, and there have been posts such as "Fifty Kinds of Poetry Diseases" and "Hundred Kinds of Poetry Diseases" on the Internet.
【Yellow Crane Tower Poetry Disease】
193 rhymes in the Cut Rhymes (Sui Dynasty 601 AD). Tang Yun 195 rhymes (Tang Dynasty 732 AD). Pingshui Rhymes 106 rhymes (1223 AD of the Jin Dynasty). Cui Hao's (704-754) Yellow Crane Tower should have used "Cut Rhyme" or "Tang Rhyme". If you use the rhyme of Pingshui to read "Yellow Crane Tower", it may be a bit biased.
The people of the past have gone by the Yellow Crane, and the Yellow Crane Tower is empty here: the word "crane" should be flat, and the law has been out.
The yellow crane is gone, and the white clouds are empty and leisurely: no return - empty and leisurely, according to the requirements of the law poem, the battle is not worked.
The Yellow Crane is gone forever: Ping Shu Shu Shu
Qingchuan Calendar Hanyang Tree: Hanyang Tree - 仄平仄, the word "Yang" according to the theory of the modern Master Wang Li is guilty of the taboo of "Lonely Ping".
Contemporary poetry critics believe that Cui Hao's "Yellow Crane Tower" poem has many diseases. However, since the Tang Dynasty, many of the "Selected Poems" in history, the seven laws parts have begun with the "Yellow Crane Tower" or pressed volume. It is not that the compilers of many "Selected Poems" from the Tang Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty do not understand the "law", the ancients wanted to take the "Yellow Crane Tower" as an example and tell future generations that there are no rules and no square circles, and the rules for writing poetry should be observed, but they cannot rigidly move dogmas, and do not "harm the intention with the law".
Beginner poets, seeing that "Yellow Crane Tower" has so many poetic diseases, it is also called the first law of the ages, and as a model for the seven laws of the past, it must be quite doubtful, then in the end to write poetry or not, is there a "rule"? This question, please ask Mr. Cao Xueqin, the author of "Dream of the Red Chamber", to answer:
Mr. Cao Xueqin borrowed Lin Daiyu's mouth and told everyone (Xiangling) how to write poetry:
Xiang Ling learns poems from Daiyu (selected)
Dai Yu smiled and said, "If you want to write poetry, you will worship me as a teacher." Although I don't understand it, I can still teach you in general.
Xiang Ling smiled and said, "If this is the case, I will worship you as a teacher." You're not allowed to get bored.
Dai Yu Dao: What is difficult to write poetry, it is also worth learning, but it is a combination of inheritance and transfer, in which the inheritance is two pairs, flat sound to servant sound, virtual to real, real to virtual, if there is a strange sentence, even the flat and virtual is not right.
Xiang Ling smiled: No wonder I often get an old poem to sneak out and read two poems, and there are right extreme works and wrong ones, and I heard it say, "One three five, two four six clear." Look at the ancients' poems are also smooth, and there are also two, four, and six wrong, so I wonder every day. Listening to you now, it turns out that these rules of style are the last thing, as long as the words are novel.
Dai Yu Dao: It is precisely this truth, whether the words and sentences are still the last thing, the first intention is important. If the meaning is true, the conjunction does not need to be modified, it is good, this is called "not to harm the meaning of words".
Xiang Ling laughed: I only love Lu Fangweng's poem "Heavy curtains do not roll for a long time, ancient Yan is slightly concave and more inky", it is really interesting to say.
Dai Yu dao: You must not learn such poetry. Because you don't know poetry, you love when you see this shallowness, and once you enter this pattern, you can't learn it again. You only listen to me and say, if you really want to learn, I have here the Complete Works of Wang Mojie, and you read a hundred of his five-word laws, carefully and thoroughly understand them, and then read one or two hundred of Lao Du's seven-word laws, and then Read one or two hundred of Li Qinglian's seven-word sentences. The stomach first had these three people as the foundation, and then took a look at Tao Yuanming, Ying Yue, Xie, Ruan, Yu, Bao and others. You are also a very intelligent and clever person, and you don't need a year's work, and you are not worried about not being a poet.
