Li Junquan, a Qilu scholar, is a fellow poet and a good friend for many years. He was born in a peasant family and has loved literature since he was a teenager. Thanks to the influence of Mr. Hu Bannong, a famous hometown resident, and Confucian culture and art, and because of his persistent study of poetry and calligraphy, he made rapid progress and gained a lot. So far, he has stood tall in the academic circle and is among the cultural celebrities today, which is really gratifying.
Confucius said: Confucian culture and art are actually the artistry and sublimation of Confucian spirit, with Tao as the purpose, virtue as the basis, benevolence as the basis and art as the tour. Li Quancheng was well versed in this principle, devoted himself to Confucianism, practiced benevolence, righteousness and the golden mean, and taught poetry to the best of Confucius and Mencius.
Looking at his calligraphy works, there is the essence of "three haves". When we say "root", that is, the word follows the tradition; Second, "spirit", that is, the word shows life; The word "you have me" is the word that contains my feelings. Because of these three factors, his calligraphy works are highly praised by the calligraphy circle, making him a powerful middle-aged calligrapher today.
In poetry, his works adhere to the "trinity" formula. One is "based on my heart", that is, sentences come from my true feelings, and they are by no means moaning and posturing; Secondly, "take nature as law", that is, take law from nature, follow the way of balance, change naturally, and optimize poetry with natural and reasonable fu, ratio, xing and good words; The third is "taking the ethereal as a teacher", that is, in the ethereal mind, outside the simple place, seeking the wonderful feeling that can be understood but cannot be expressed. It is precisely because of this "three natures" that Li Quancheng's poems are full of charm. In just a few words, emotion, scenery, events and reason have their own characteristics, showing people that nature is the Tao. Let poetry be readable, enjoyable and unforgettable, or you can be a friend, a teacher and an educator. Let's take a look at his poem "Summer", which says that "the weather changes overnight and it is cruel to play tricks on people", revealing that the universe, the world and the world are changing. This change is a natural law and a normal stage of the balance of heaven. Therefore, as a small human being, we should fully understand that whether it is inflammation or a cold, it is a trick of nature, and it can also be regarded as a test, so there is no need to make a fuss. Understand this, not only can know the author's heart, but also can appease the reader's heart, which benefits a lot!
Another example is "Living in the Fairy Cave", which says that "Yao grass grows on the precipice and the needle falls in the air". Yao grass refers to fairy grass, which is born on the cliff. It can be seen that all treasures are hard to get; I also know that all places are likely to breed treasures, and people should not be lazy to climb and compete.
Another example is Liang Hongyu's poem "After dying on the battlefield, one person is still ashamed of Lin 'an", which eulogizes Liang Hongyu's heroic spirit of beating gongs and drums to resist the nomads from the Southern Song Dynasty, and makes a group of "peace-seeking" factions in Lin 'an small court who are afraid of death and their husbands who do nothing ashamed to live in peace. With this poem, the author has greatly aroused readers' patriotism and patriotic enthusiasm.
Another example is "courage is not for anyone, the jade pot has its own bing Xin" in "reading for pleasure", which is self-control and purifying the soul; There is a saying in Hanging to the King that there are more tears than water.
Another example is "Lushan Waterfall". "A silver wave falls on the platform and layers of mist bloom. It's a breeze from Wan Li. " Every sentence is good, especially "I can't fly". If the reader is in the scene and looks at Lushan Waterfall from a distance, he can really see the scene of "unable to fly". "Flying down three thousands of feet" is an action and a scene in Li Bai's works. "Flowing without moving without borders" means turning motion into stillness. This is the scenery described by Li Quancheng, which can also be called a stroke of genius. Seven methods on the same topic, eight wonderful. In particular, the first two sentences, "I heard that there is a hole in the Milky Way, and the ice and snow are trickling", are all self-edited, and based on this, I imagine "the sound is like seven strings", "the sound is like nine tigers", "the silver beads leap" and "the golden thread penetrates", which is rich in imagination and I want to bring readers into the desire of "seeing with my own eyes".
Li Quancheng's poems pay attention to rhetoric, such as using allusions. In Longhu Weng's fishing garden, he collected several allusions, such as "falling snow", "phoenix window" and "falling flower pen", all of which were deleted and had no blunt feeling, which can be described as an expert.
He knows that poetry is the product of thinking in images, so he often uses Fu, Bi and Xing (including association) in his works.
A comparison of "a jade belt in the sky" in Canal Bridge: "A roll of sorrow from Sao to eternity" is popular in the Dragon Boat Festival; In Yueyang Tower, "Baling is not empty, and the wind and rain are raining on Ludizhou" is also for prosperity; And "Guan Shanyue Meitu": "Guan Jia's bearing is close to the south sky, and the clouds in the painting are filled with evening smoke, the iron pen shakes the Han Sea, and the silver hooks are scattered. Round and round, Mo Yun's hair ball came out, and the jade arm was wrapped in the glow. The most hairdressing is in the air, and blood and tears are straight. " It is a rare seven-character poem. The rhetoric of Fu, Bi and Xing is comprehensively used in the poem, and the typical layout structure of starting, inheriting, turning and combining is unfolded in an orderly manner, until the sentence of "most yes" is turned, and the conclusion sentence is "straight blood and straight tears to the sky". Guan Shanyue dyed plum blossoms with a red pen, saying that it is "straight blood and straight tears to the sky", which is extremely vivid and deeply contains human feelings. Only this sentence can push this law to the top grade of moral appreciation.
Li Quancheng's poems are not only deep and serious, but also delicate and sad. At first glance, I thought I was inclined to the heroic image of Qilu, but I was a little subtle, but I knew that it was influenced by the refined fashion of Sanqu and the bold style of Song poetry, so it was true.
