There has been a certain degree of controversy about why we study poetry.
At the China Poetry Conference, Dong Qing, the host of the program, gave his own answer: "Why do you want to learn poetry? Because poetry is a thousand years old, children raised by poetry win as soon as they open their mouths. "
The culture of the Chinese nation is based on poetry and has been handed down from generation to generation. Therefore, poetry belongs to the root of China culture to some extent, which needs our generation and our next generation to learn and inherit.
For poetry, Jiang Xun, a famous aesthete in Taiwan Province, China, is also deeply touched. According to his own interview, when he was a child, his father asked him to recite the poem "Moonlight on a Spring River", but he didn't understand the meaning of the poem, but he thought it was cool.
He really understood this poem when he was studying in Paris. At that time, he had little contact with his family, but he missed his family deeply. One spring, he saw a tree in Paris, and all its petals fell off. The poem "Moonlit Night on a Spring River" suddenly jumped into his mind: last night, the dream fell in the middle of the pool and the poor spring did not return.
At that moment, that sentence seemed to say what he wanted to say, and he understood at once. It seems that there is no more appropriate expression of his homesickness than the words 14.
