However, Jia Dao became famous not because of his heroism, but because of his bitterness. The most familiar allusion to "censorship" comes from this public institution. There is no doubt that it is much better to write the sentence "The monk knocks on the moon" than to write "The monk pushes the door on the moon". This has almost become one of the most common examples of exquisite writing. However, knowing the basic skills of such "scrutinizing" words, can you still complain about poets? The problem is certainly not that simple. Otherwise, it is too easy to become a great poet.
In fact, Jia Dao spent a lot of time refining ideas, sentences and words. All these are inseparable from the ideological and contemporary nature of the works. First of all, we can see that Jia Dao worked very hard to cultivate his mind, so his works have a fascinating artistic conception. If you write a poem with poor artistic conception and light taste, no poem is better than no interest. With a good artistic conception, we must also ensure that this artistic conception can be fully expressed in words.
Every poem and sentence of Jia Dao has been repeatedly tempered and carefully revised. But after he wrote it, the reader couldn't see the trace of revision at all, as if it were completely natural and in one go. It can be seen that the so-called bitter songs can only be said from the author's hard work. As for the aspects that readers appreciate, don't see the author's pain.
Jia Dao has many works to prove this point. For example, the poem "Crossing the Sanggan River" wrote: "It has been ten frosts for the guest house and the state, and I miss Xianyang day and night. Crossing the river is even more unreasonable, but I hope Bingzhou is my hometown. "The meaning of this poem is very tortuous, but the words are very simple. This makes it poetic and implicit, allowing readers to chew its meaning repeatedly. If you use more words once or twice, write out all its meanings, and it will be boring to read. There are so many examples like this in Jia Dao's works that I simply don't know what examples should be cited to better illustrate the problem.
Anyone who has seen the history of China literature knows that Han Yu appreciates Jia Dao's works very much. The Complete Tang Poem records that Han Yu gave Jia Dao a poem saying: "Meng Jiao died and buried Beimang Mountain, and the sun, the moon and the stars felt carefree. I am afraid that the article will be broken and Jia Dao will be reincarnated. " Although some people say that this is not a poem by Han Yu, it can at least represent people's evaluation of Jia Dao at that time. Later generations often use the word "eccentric" to comment on Jia Dao's poems, which is really inappropriate.
Although people can also cite some evidence to prove that Jia Dao's poems have had a bad influence on later poetry circles. For example, there was the so-called Jianghu Poetry School in the Song Dynasty, and the so-called Jingling Poetry School in the Ming Dynasty. At the same time, the popular poetic style in the late Qing Dynasty, blindly pursuing strange words and dangerous sentences, became formalism because of poor content. I think it is unfair to blame all this on the influence of Jia Dao. The advantages and disadvantages of poetry schools in each era should mainly be traced back to the historical conditions and social background of each era, and predecessors can not bear any responsibility to future generations. Jia Dao's creative attitude is very serious, which is still worth learning today. If someone imitates Jia Dao one-sidedly and superficially, which leads to poor poetry, how can Jia Dao bear the responsibility?
