Goose Goose, Xiang Tiange. White feathers, floating in green water; The red soles of the feet stir the clear water. ? We are familiar with Luo's seven-year postgraduate work "Goose Fu". This poem seems simple and easy to understand, but in fact it is very natural. It's hard to copy and even harder to surpass. Throughout the ages, many scholars are willing to imitate this work, but the result is often? Painting a tiger is not against a dog? .
However, there was a farmer who made a living by fishing, but he was able to imitate the rhythm of this poem to create "Nian Ji", which was all the rage for a time and won a literary prize of 10,000 yuan at the age of 70. What happened?
Fishermen are born, and an article is shocking.
His name is Wei Yong, and he is a fisherman who lives by the sea and makes a living by fishing. Growing up in the seaside countryside, he has a strong interest in poetry since childhood. He is not only happy to appreciate poetry, but even often creates poems to amuse himself.
Although the fisherman's living conditions are relatively difficult and the cultural influence he can accept is limited, this cannot hinder his love for poetry. The quiet and simple life gave him a quiet spiritual space, which enabled him to observe life more carefully.
Luo was able to write Goose Fu, a well-known classic at the age of seven, not only because of his literary talent, but also because of his careful observation of the image and habits of geese.
So is Wei Yong. Besides fishing, he keeps some chickens at home. He likes to stare at them every day during his break. As time went on, he clearly knew the image of the chicken. So, one day, when I was reading King Robin's poem Ode to a Goose, I suddenly became interested and improvised a poem Ode to a Chicken. This poem is as follows:
Chicken, chicken, chicken, sharp mouth crowing at the sky. Night calls the bright moon, and five drums call the morning light.
Is this poem in the second session? Farmers' Literature Award? China won the championship in technology, and Wei Yong won the title of peasant poet, which became a much-told story for a time. So what is the charm of this poem?
Appreciation of poetry and prose seems extraordinary.
First, the allusion in the poem is rich in meaning, which shows that the author is not shallow in knowledge and skill. Like what? At night? 、? Hao Yue? 、? Five drums? 、? Dawn? These images can be found in Zhu Yuanzhang's poems.
Sharp? The word vividly and concisely describes the morphological characteristics of chicken beak; A rooster pointed at the sky with a pointed beak, as if to peck a hole in the sky. A defiant posture trying to compete with the weather jumped from the paper, which made people feel refreshed.
Secondly, although this poem is exactly the same as Goose Fu in rhythm and structure, it is by no means a crappy work of painting tigers and dogs. ? Chicken, chicken, chicken? With what? Goose, goose, goose? The beginning is similar. Sharp mouth to the sky? And then what? Xiang Tiange? The two are printed from the same mold in structure, and there are considerable similarities in describing the shapes of the two objects.
From the perspective of imitation alone, it has achieved the effect of vivid and vivid, with both form and spirit, rather than ordinary imitation works, which makes people feel that it is very unnatural to apply mechanically. But what about this? Draw a gourd according to the pattern? Two sentences are not the highlight of "Nian Ji", and the fun is yet to come!
Thirdly, the poem "Chanting Chicken" has far-reaching influence and is thought-provoking. Neck chain? Night calls the bright moon, and five drums call the morning light? Borrowing the handwriting in the poem "Golden Rooster at Dawn" by Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty: Three calls for hibiscus to sweep away the broken stars and bright moon? Won a lot of points for this poem.
And then what? Hao Yue? 、? Dawn? Both images shine in the dark, driving away the dead silence of the night and bringing warmth and hope, which is exactly what people who insist on moving forward in the dark need.
Isn't that how the modern history of humiliation came about? Countless people with lofty ideals, with the belief of saving the nation and serving the country and the people, warmed themselves in the dark, shed their heads and blood for the victory of the revolutionary cause, and the rivers and mountains of the motherland were dyed red with blood, which led to the hard-won rise of China today, just like the cock crowing and the beautiful journey starting again.
Xiongguan road is as iron as iron, and now it is still one step away from the beginning. The image of the golden rooster announcing the dawn in the poem has ignited a fire in people's hearts and brought people new hope. From this point of view, the dangerous work Nian Ji is better and more intriguing than Luo's Nian Goose.
Fourth, the words in Nian Ji are unpretentious, natural and fluent, and there is no far-fetched attachment to building a wall with bricks. Unlike some deliberately imitated works that play word games, they are gaudy but have nothing to say and groan. That idea is dangerous? But a farmer, where can he write any good poems? Our views are not only ridiculous, but also ignorant.
Why can't you create good works when you meet farmers? Art comes from life. People who deal with daily necessities, people born and raised in nature, can understand life better than ordinary people as long as they can use snacks, right? Harmony between man and nature? The understanding and perception of ancient philosophy is much better than that of an armchair strategist.
Become famous and indifferent to right and wrong.
After winning the prize, Wei Yong became famous in the village. At that time, every household was talking about his work. After all, in their eyes, a work with a word 18 can get a prize of 10,000 yuan. Can it really be called? A good word? ;
People who can have this ability are naturally the objects of their worship and admiration. The major media are also happy to report Wei Yong's deeds. The country poet 18 won the national prize of 10,000 yuan, which became the topic of people's after-dinner chat. There are many people on the Internet vying to write Ode to a Duck, Ode to a Pig and Ode to a Dog, and Wei Yong became famous for a while.
After winning the prize, Wei Yong naturally used the money to improve his living conditions, and his family also supported him to devote more energy to literary creation. At that time, he was nearly seventy years old and still studied tirelessly. The motivation of learning comes from his love of life and his pursuit of dreams. ? Old and learned, like to walk at night by candlelight? It is not too late.
However, Wei Yong's fame and fortune also attracted many voices of doubt or even denial. Some people think that Wei Yong's works are just an idle imitation sample, and it is really difficult for him to win this honor under his famous reputation; Some people think that the poem "Nian Ji" uses words casually, and it is difficult to be elegant without careful study;
What's more, I doubt the originality of the work on the grounds that farmers don't know a few words. People are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong? Ah! It is famous for all kinds of eyes that come uninvited. I hope I can't pick on you with a microscope.
Faced with all kinds of doubts, Wei Yong just smiled indifferently: creation comes from love, and inspiration comes from life. Yes, if a person doesn't love poetry and writing, he will feel bored and have a headache even after reading the wonderful words written by others. How can he create his own poem worth 1000 dollars?
If you don't have a heart that loves life, how can you create works of art that are higher than life on the basis of meticulous observation and experience of life?
On the other hand, in today's poetry world, it is hard to avoid chilling. Some people pursue flowery words, but the poems they write are moaning without illness; Some people play word games and choose obscure words to make sentences to show that they have deep kung fu and many skills, but the content is empty;
Others are insincere, insincere and full of flattery when writing poems. In contrast, Wei Yong's poem "Chanting Chicken" is very precious.
I hope we can be kind to those dangerous and brave grassroots creators. They are like sparks. Once the situation rises, they will start a prairie fire and burn all over Shan Ye. There is a vast world belonging to them in the field of literary creation.
