Du Fu (partial) Dai Peiren
Those who know are not as good as those who are good, and those who are good are not as good as those who are happy.
—— The Analects of Confucius Yong Ye
The poet is the pearl on the top of the literary laurel; Ci is a poem, and the two depend on each other and complement each other, each with its own strong points; Two flowers in one flower are hard to separate. I have always believed that poetry is the concise and sublimation of an article, which is the best, the best and the most beautiful, and can best reflect the author's talent and understanding. The Hanlin Academy is known as the word forest, and the Hanlin is also known as the "word minister". Because of the compulsory courses in the library, the sages are able to dominate the poetry world and lead the way. There are many masters and masterpieces; What you read has endless charm. I feel it, and gradually think about it; Stumbling and learning, it is hard to taste.
Poetry is a verse. If it doesn't rhyme, it can't be called poetry. Poetry must have rules, not laws, nor can it be called poetry. Because vernacular Chinese occupies the mainstream of literary style, vernacular poetry is also popular, but there is still no fixed method, and the good and the bad are mixed. Most of them are disorganized, dull and boring, and people can't bear to read them. They call them "poems" in vain, but in fact they blaspheme the good name of poems.
Today's poetry circles are still in the "Warring States Period" where there are no leaders and disputes. Investigate its chaotic causes, there is no chapter to follow, and there is no law to follow. The composition and meter need to be explored, created, supplemented and perfected by the same people in the poetry circle in order to achieve something. This job is very heavy, and it is an extraordinary achievement, and it must be treated with extraordinary people. However, I originally liked ancient poetry best. After I entered the field of history by mistake, I wrote poetry and lyrics, which was only elegant and interesting. I intended to enjoy myself and make friends with poetry.
China is the source of poetry, with many famous artists and colorful masterpieces. I hope to abandon the perfect program and rich legacy and find another way. Gai should take into account the continuity of language and style, cherish the precious wealth of ancient poetry, famous sentences and so on, and properly polish them, so as to be pragmatic and wise and get twice the result with half the effort.
according to the above ideas, over the past ten years, I have learned some old-style poems one after another. Its use can be roughly divided into sending friends from afar every New Year's Day; Occasionally inspired, express feelings; The book is published as a conclusion; Or both. There are three types: set sentences, change sentences and use them, and create independently. Here are a few examples to pray for the truth:
Collection of famous poems of Tang poetry and Song poetry chanting Mid-Autumn Festival
mountains cover the white sun, lonely and lonely; Vientiane is a guest, thousands of miles away.
this five-character quatrain is a poem with a set of sentences. In the Mid-Autumn Festival of Guisi Year (213), I was inspired by chance, and I collected two sentences of Tang poetry and Song poetry, and this poem was completed. Poetry is a common method used by the ancients, but it is not easy to collect excellent works. The first sentence of this poem is taken from Wang Zhihuan's at heron lodge, and the second sentence is taken from Li Taibai's Sitting alone in Jingting Mountain. Three sentences are taken from Zhang Xiaoxiang's Niannujiao, and the last sentence is taken from Su Dongpo's Shuidiao Song Tou. Despite the familiar words, after reorganization, there is another hole in the sky. Not only is it suitable for time series and objects, but also the scenery and realm are good; And three or four sentences are also antithetical. The whole poem is seamless. It was well received by friends. Mr. Yang Jichuan, a famous calligrapher at the turn of the year, thinks that this collection of poems is "the same as the ancients in Tang and Song Dynasties". I am happy to give it back in official script. Every time I mention it, I am full of praise.
express your feelings at the end of the year
The sea is wide and the snake moves, and the sky is high and the sun is new; The milky way turns overnight, and the world is two years old.
when you put pen to paper, you will be shocked by the wind and rain, and your poem will make you cry. When you smell a chicken and dance, you can learn from the past.
This five-character poem was written at the end of 214 to send it to all friends. The couplet (the second couplet) is poetic and complacent; The Neck Couplet (the third part) borrowed a sentence from Du Fu's "Twenty Rhymes to Li Taibai", and made up a new word because of thinking, so there is no such boldness and exquisiteness. I got Mr. Jichuan's approval and gave it back in the form of a running script.
Don't sigh at the end of the year, but it's still better than Chimonanthus praecox. Cold ling alone shows the east of the old city, so why not be afraid of the frost and snow coming in the morning and the wind coming late?
no sleep, clothes and railings, firecrackers sound; Flowers red is one year old, but every year is different.
this word "Yu Meiren" was written on the New Year's Eve of Jiawu to send it to all friends. Among them, two sentences were changed from Li Houzhu's words and Liu Xiyi's poems, and the effect was acceptable. Quite praised by Mr. Jichuan, and returned it with official records.
The poem on the back cover of Yong Jun Shuo Zodiac
Riding a horse to drive away snakes in the twelfth spring, the dragon hides the tiger without a trace; It's hard to wake a monkey's dream with a crow, but a rabbit's heart with a mouse's voice.
dogs rush to the road, and cattle and sheep are afraid to escape from the door; After a round of writing, it will be sealed and a new chapter will be continued for future generations.
This seven-character poem is original and published on the back cover of the clumsy book Yong Jun Shuo Zodiac. Put the zodiac in it and explain the story of the book, so as to express your feelings. And respectfully ask Mr. Jichuan to record it in Yan Jie, so as to be brave. In addition to the above four poems, there are dozens of exercises with uneven standards, so I'm sorry.
In my humble opinion, although times have changed, the old-style poetry still has great vitality. It is rooted in a thick cultural accumulation, and has structural and rhythmic features that only Chinese with one word and one sound can enjoy. It combines many great beauty such as form, artistic conception, rhythm, talent and charm, and is exquisite, concise, catchy, immersed in the bone marrow and deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. New-style poetry, on the other hand, is hard to compete with it, which is quite like knocking on the earthen pot, but asking for emblem and elegant music. On the other hand, if you want to live a long life, you must walk with the times. After all, with the development of the times and the change of context, the style of poetry cannot be fixed. In my opinion, what remains unchanged should be structure, rhythm and charm, but the requirements should be moderately relaxed. Rhyme can break through the rules of the original rhyme book and use the "thirteen tricks" formed in the field of drama writing in Ming and Qing Dynasties; Pronunciation should be based on today's standard pronunciation of Putonghua, which is no longer subject to ancient pronunciation; Pingping should accept the reality of "dividing yin and yang equally and joining the faction", with one or two tones as the level and three or four tones as the level.
entering the field of historiography should be different from poetry belonging to literature. Fortunately, I am engaged in the study of Hanlin, so I can try my hand from time to time to fulfill my dream. Because it is a hobby, it is bound to be superficial and rough, so please kindly give me your advice.
