Just like people all over the world, people today pay attention to reading, fans and likes when they play WeChat and official WeChat accounts, which is the same as the motivation that ancient poets want to share. The ancients wrote poems and earned praise. So, how do they operate? Let's take a look at the demonstration of poets in the Tang Dynasty.
Burning money for attention: Chen Ziang smashed a famous piano in Chang 'an. Everyone knows that before me, where were those lost times? Behind me, where is the next generation? S's poems are full of sadness and a little contempt for the spirit of ancient and modern China and foreign countries. The author of this poem is a famous poet Chen Ziang.
Mr Chen is a talented and ambitious young man. He writes poems not just for fun. He wanted to reverse the depression of the world's writing style at that time and restore the simplicity and vigor of Jian 'an.
However, Mr. Chen's qualifications are still a little young. Although he reads a lot and has a theoretical level, he has read almost all the books in the world. He has read hundreds of books and history, but unfortunately there is no platform and no one cares if he shouts.
In 679 AD, Chen, who was in his early twenties, went out of the Three Gorges to study in Chang 'an, and took the exam the next year. As a result, he failed the list. In 682 AD, Chen took the exam again, and the result was still the same: he came last.
At that time, Chen Ziang was very depressed. When he was wandering alone in the street, he saw a man selling a huqin. The onlookers asked about the price one after another, and the answer was sky-high-several million dollars. This price has turned many buyers into onlookers of soy sauce. Chen's eyes rested on the towering wall, but another beautiful picture came to mind. Then he immediately took out a thousand silks and bought them without frowning.
Local tyrants spent a lot of money on expensive pianos, and they didn't treat silver as silver. This incident immediately spread in the circle of friends of Chang' an people. As soon as the busybody inquired, he knew the identity of Chen Ziang: the boy was from Sichuan and his name was Chen Ziang.
Strike while the iron is hot and start sending invitations in the circle of friends: Tomorrow, Chen, I will invite you to the piano. Do you have an appointment? About! There are many dignitaries in Chang 'an, and celebrities will bid soon. We will see what the boy is going to do.
The next day, our apartment was packed with people, and everyone was waiting for the Chen Kai concert. When Mr. Chen saw that most of the leading figures in Chang 'an were here, he came out with a piano, but the following words surprised everyone: Dear friends, I am Chen Ziang of Sichuan, and I have no money. I didn't come to play the piano for you today, but to talk about literature with you. My article is very good, but not many people know it. Let's enjoy it together As for playing the piano, it's not my major. Break it. People in Shu have a long history and are unknown, so we should pay attention to the fun of this cheap labor.
Then, in front of the celebrities in Chang 'an, Chen Ziang smashed the famous piano with a bid of one million yuan on the spot, and distributed information to promote his works.
It is cruel to break the famous piano and publish your own article, which is clearly a local tyrant style.
This matter turned again in the circle of friends of Chang' an people, followed by the piano wrestling incident, and it was Chen's article that turned crazy in the circle of friends. This is remarkable in itself, but Chen's talent is even more remarkable. This man not only knows how to speculate, but also has information. Since then, the reading volume and praise of Chen Ziang's articles have soared.
Chen Ziang finally let the whole Tang Dynasty hear his voice and let the times hear his voice.
The evaluation of Chen Ziang's actions can be summed up as follows: the wealth of local tyrants and the talent of literary giants are indispensable. You must choose the right place. Chang 'an is the political, economic and cultural center of the world. If you drop a piano, it will shake the world. If you change places, you won't have this effect. This move has a high risk factor, so it is recommended to operate with caution.
If the cost of smashing the piano is too high and the cultural relics are not cherished, it is not worth promoting. Meng Haoran's hype method is more in line with modern people's concepts and drafts.
Participate in classics: Meng Haoran's poems are famous in Chang 'an. Meng Haoran gives the impression that he is an otaku who lives in Xiangyang, writes poems and drinks. He is very comfortable, such as preparing chicken and rice for me. Old friends and you entertain me on your farm. I wake up easily in this spring morning, surrounded by birds singing. They sleep late like this, which is envied by modern people.
However, if Meng Haoran's life is really like this, it may be difficult to become famous. If he hadn't gone out of Xiangyang to improve his reading and praise, I'm afraid few people know that he was relaxed and happy in the spring morning when I woke up and the birds were singing around me.
In fact, Meng Haoran has friends, and he is not an ordinary friend. For example, Li Bai is his friend. He once said bluntly: Master, I salute you from the bottom of my heart. Your fame has risen to the sky. But his most important friend is Wang Wei, and it is no exaggeration to say that Wang Wei was the leader of the world poetry circle at that time. Through this highland, Meng Haoran has certain advantages to improve his popularity. Of course, it is not enough to rely on the recommendation of friends. After all, people don't like advertising, and the powder-increasing effect of friendly recommendation is generally not ideal. Teacher Meng can't burn money like that to earn eyeballs. What should I do? One way is to take part in a poetry competition, and it is a high-level elite poetry competition.
Meng Haoran came to Chang 'an at the age of 40 and found an old friend Wang Wei who was an official in North Korea. Wang Wei was very kind to him. He took him to the central ministries and commissions of Datang, which was then called the province, and held a literary evening with some high-level people. This was a good opportunity to show his face.
Just after the autumn rain, the night sky was full of moonlight, and there were good poems in the beautiful scenery. This is a routine activity of young people in ancient literature, so everyone joined the poetry competition, which is equivalent to the highest-level elite poetry competition in the Tang Dynasty. The effect here is more than twice as good as in Xiangyang.
It is estimated that Meng Haoran made careful preparations. When it was his turn, he blurted out: Wei Yun is a light river man, and the raindrops are scattered. As soon as this sentence came out, Wen Qing was killed at the scene, and no one dared to continue the poem. When the seat is lifted, it is clear that the salty pavilion pen is unsustainable.
The main idea of this poem is: after the rain, thin clouds float around the galaxy; Residual rain is still dripping on the plane blades.
When Mr. Meng wrote this poem, it is estimated that he spent a lot of thoughts, and it is not appropriate to write it too luxuriously, because the literary elites in Chang' an have all used more gorgeous words than you. As Xiangyang otaku, they should win by being single-minded. What is specificity? That is to say, it is popular, good, lofty and grand, but simple and plain, generous and radiant, not cumbersome, refreshing to read, in line with the weather of the prosperous Tang Dynasty.
Killing all the elite poets in Chang 'an is tantamount to killing the literary world of the Tang Dynasty, at least temporarily. As a result, Meng's reputation soared, and he really did it.
Commenting on Meng Haoran's low cost, not burning money, is brain-burning, repeatedly pondering what kind of writing style the times need and what kind of writing style the top elites in Chang 'an like. Most importantly, he occupied the highland, and the poets were all central officials in the Tang Dynasty, and they were in the central yamen. This highland is hard to come by. Of course, Teacher Meng and both chose the same lively place: Chang 'an.
If the draft is not enough, then Jia Dao's hype is even more exciting.
