Since it is a revolution, if other people's names are abolished, some people will inevitably "lose their lives." Naturally, it is those "old people and young people" who have lost their lives, because this law seems to be their lives. I have studied the meter for a long time, and I am very touched. I have long been unable to pursue the artistic conception of poetry. What can I show off to others if I change another one of these rice? Is there any reason to brag about being a "poet" to others? How many people can get the word "poet" since ancient times? To me, I'm just a literature lover. But nowadays, the popularity of this "poet" seems to be faster than bed wetting. In a few days, it seems like mushrooms after rain. Remember, the name "poet" is not your own name.
Since you are so proficient in tricks, I will use this trick to argue with you. If you are right, you don't have to kowtow and apologize. If you are wrong, "children" will apologize to you in advance so as not to defile this "extensive and profound" knowledge. Since ancient times, there are many so-called poetic rhythms, which can only be divided into two categories: ancient poetry and modern poetry (modern poetry is about Tang poetry and Song poetry). Similar to classical poetry, modern poetry is more rigorous in meter. The so-called metrical style of modern poetry is mostly defined by emperors or literati in Ming and Qing Dynasties as "famous poems" in Tang and Song Dynasties, and has been compiled into several classics, such as Qin Ding's Ci Poems and Baixiang's Ci Poems. Of course, there are modern versions, but they are more demanding. As we all know, in the Tang and Song Dynasties, people wrote poems in various ways. Li Bai wrote a poem and made it up, called Taibai Style. Su Shi wrote a word and made it up, called Dongpo Style. Fu Yu wrote something, but no one made it up. Haha, look, it's nonsense. But don't you think this induction is one-sided? Where is the beat of Li Bai's songs? What is the antithesis of loose sentences in Yuan poetry? Isn't it a masterpiece handed down from generation to generation? Besides, poetry lies in innovation, including meter. After all, we are not ancient people, and we don't need those plain words to sing opera in brothels, nor do we need those antithesis to play swords and recite poems. Ancient things should also be "dead". From four characters to five characters is a progress, from Yongming style to five or seven characters is a progress, and from seven characters to miscellaneous characters is a progress. The development direction of poetry has always been "compatible" and "atmospheric", and only "old people" will grasp the most "scientific" poetic rhythm to show off.
Let's talk about rhyme after rhyme. Ancient rhyme and new rhyme have always been a controversial topic among "poets". It seems that the annotation of new rhyme has become a common practice in the field of poetry, which makes me very puzzled. "Old and young" are even proud of writing poems with ancient rhymes, such as "wandering" and deliberately writing "wandering back". I think one is not smooth and the other is puzzling. Again, we are modern people, why should we imitate the tone of the ancients? China's language and culture are also improving. With the continuous development, the intonation of Chinese has also undergone great changes, from five tones to the current four tones of "Yin and Yang ascending". If you blindly pursue the "Linz Zheng Yun" of "one east, two winters, three rivers and four branches", how can there be good poems? For example, in the rhyme of "Four Branches", the word "Bi" is also listed among them, which has almost nothing to do with "Zhi" in today's Chinese Pinyin standard. China's language and literature are progressing, so should ancient poetry based on Chinese.
All poets should at least find out what poetry is for. Poetry is, in the final analysis, a literary style and an artistic category. Its purpose is to give readers beautiful enjoyment, not to show off how much the author knows. It is not a good work, because it can only increase the burden on readers. Hegel said: "Beauty is the perceptual expression of ideas", and sensibility is the knowledge formed in people's thinking. Poetry is also an aesthetic, and it is for people to read. So in the value of poetry, the most important thing is the reader's evaluation, not the prosodic rules. At least most people who read poetry don't read poetry with a King James dictionary.
Poetry should be a very popular thing. Everyone has the qualification to be a poet. The difference lies in whether you have the courage to record your thoughts. But those "old people and young people" want to isolate this poem and turn it into something extraordinary, so that they can have a chance to borrow it. Otherwise, what is there to show off? The shortcut to "uncommon" classical poetry is rhythm, because most of them are unknown, which is also the reason why they think it is importune, so they bring the present poetry into a forbidden area.
That's what academic things want to say. I wonder if those "old and young" can understand it? Even out of argument, they still have their own killer weapon: "Please do modern poetry. What does it matter if you can't play ancient poetry? " Yes, in modern poetry, these stresses are much less than those of ancient poetry, but I want to tell you clearly here that many achievements of ancient poetry are far incomparable to modern poetry. Compared with modern poetry piled up with countless adjectives, ancient poetry still has that insurmountable artistic value. What can I do with these rules? I don't want to write those modern poems. I just want to write ancient poems. I want to encourage everyone to do it, not only to do it, but also to subvert and revolutionize! Old people and young people, you are dumbfounded now. Don't worry, I still have a lot to say.
From ancient times to the present, the public has infinite admiration for poets, which is what those "old and young" have been pursuing all their lives. Unfortunately, not everyone can "play" poetry. Writing poetry requires two things, one is talent, and the other is temperament. People who have no temperament only know how to learn blindly, find chapters and sentences, and learn all their lives. That's just a pedant. Most of the "old people" I talk about are like this. Poetry is an art, and the pleasure of both authors and readers lies in creation. Quote classics? Haha, it was just created by the ancients. What does it have to do with you? You just ate what the ancients chewed again. What's more, he said brazenly, "In fact, I haven't read it at all, but it's just a coincidence with the ancients." How effective do you think such self-deception will be? Haha, I haven't read Du Li's famous works, just put them under my name. Writing poetry needs temperament, not learning, because poetry is an art, and some "old people" also show off to me: "Young people nowadays are really impetuous. It takes me two days to write a quatrain, and I have to stay awake when I do it! " Haha, in my opinion, it's really funny. It took two days to write a quatrain? And show off? Show off your ignorance? Haven't you heard that there are hundreds of Li Bai's poems about drinking? This is the true nature! Before you write a poem, you should have thought it over a long time ago. "Writing poetry" is just a form.
Those who rely on the old and sell the old can't write poetry, and those who look forward can't write poetry, and they can't understand what poetry is.
Bottom line: Poetry is a kind of literature, not a science. Anyone who regards poetry as a science runs counter to real poetry.
