Literature and poetry are romantic and emotional. But answering questions requires logic, otherwise it will be too far from the point and talk to yourself.
So we might as well start with the topic and make clear the logic of the question, so as to make clear the direction and not answer irrelevant questions.
What kind of life can be called poetic life? This alone, the five billion people in the world have about five billion answers. Is it rich in family wealth, well-versed in official career, clear in official voice and vigorous in military power, or is it willing to be dull, study with peace of mind, practice meditation and break through philosophical thinking, or is it wandering around the rivers and lakes and singing all over Kyushu?
Every life may be a poetic life in our imagination. However, poets since ancient times, even if they only occupy one level, have been quite brilliant. Even people like Li Bai and Du Fu, who are wandering from place to place, stranded and wandering, and addicted to Huajie Wine Shop like Liu Yong, are not even legends in their lives, but they occupy the highest peak of China's ancient poetry.
"A poet should beware of prosperity" —— Du Fu said that Li Bai himself was painting a portrait.
However, Wang Wei's official career was successful, and he became Shi Fo. Gao Shi is politically savvy and has a military title; Wang Anshi lived in seclusion, and the mid-levels of Song poetry were rampant; Su Shi studied Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism, and was optimistic and broad-minded, but he also took the second place in Song poetry.
It can be seen that the influence of external environment on a poet, although it will affect his style, will not hide his talent. Only from the emotional conflict, it is either intense, dull, elegant or vulgar. When we remove these external causes, we find that those great poets are still great even if they change their ways.
No matter what kind of life it is, it is a poetic life in the eyes of poets.
Even if life is rubbish again, people with poetic mind can dig out poetry and inspiration in the garbage to polish life and turn life into poetic life.
How to find poetry in daily life? Writing poetry is actually a storm of thinking, and "poetry" is a way of thinking.
When we deal with ordinary affairs in our daily life, we should follow logical thinking. In the process of cognition, people generally use concepts, judgments and reasoning to reflect reality. Understanding the world with logical thinking and making reasonable judgments will form a mindset over time. But when writing poetry, if we still use logical thinking and fixed thinking to operate, then what we write is practical writing, argumentative writing, narrative writing and explanation, far from emotional literary creation.
Poetry is not only higher than life, but also the highest realm of all literary and artistic creations higher than life, so the thinking jump is more obvious. This kind of thinking mode, which is similar to children's illogical and rigid thinking mode, is creative thinking of poetry and poetic.
We should break the shackles of logic and stereotypes on our thinking, completely open our hearts, return to children's ignorant consciousness, talk to the world, become friends with all creatures and objects, and confuse the consciousness of subject and object, thinking that the other person's psychology is their own psychology.
This is childlike innocence.
If you want to find poetry in daily life and ordinary things, you have to keep a pure poetic heart.
Li Bai's persistence in success and Du Fu's worry about natural disasters objectively maintain a pure thinking direction. Wang Wei's indifference to the world of mortals, Wang Anshi's seclusion halfway up the mountain, and Su Shi's broad-minded world have not changed. What has not changed is their love for life and their observation and thinking about everything in the world. Isn't this a kind of persistence?
We often say that people should put down and bow their heads.
In fact, poets are the most reluctant to let go. Poetry is verse, poetry is lyrical and poetry is expressive. If we have no feelings about anything and are no longer excited about anything, how can we express our feelings and wishes?
Therefore, even if those Buddhist words have rhythm and rhyme, we still give them another name-Yazi.
Because those that don't touch people's hearts are not enough to be called poems. This is true of ancient poetry, and so is modern poetry.
Which poets have poetic lives? So, my personal answer to this question is:
A poet's life is a poetic life.
Your life and mine are both poems, but how to transform and express them depends on your ability and desire to become a poet.
Not a poet's life, but also a poetic life. It's just that you can't perceive, express, discover or enjoy the poetry of your life with others.
Time flies and life is like a song.
Isn't a song just a poem
