Since the "Mother of Culture" Yu Dan was blown away by the wind and heavy rain, the "Poetry God" can be said to have risen from the ground. Before 2008, Kang Zhen was not only unknown in the moderate academic world, let alone on television. However, Kang Zhen's situation has undergone earth-shaking changes since he appeared on "Hundred Forums": Professor of Beijing Normal University, doctoral supervisor, and Secretary of the Party Committee of the School of Liberal Arts of Beijing Normal University. With the blessing of many identities, Kang Zhen gradually replaced Yu Dan as the "top traffic card". At the same time, people can't help but wonder whether Kang Zhen, who is known as the "Poetry God", is overestimated?
First of all, we need to clarify to what extent Kang Zhen, the "Poetry God", has become popular. The author gives you the simplest example. Kang Zhen's fans have given him many nicknames, such as "Carnation", "Kang Tiantian", "Brother Yuchen", etc. There is a tendency to follow the "Mother of Culture" Yu Dan. . Since Kang Zhen is the "Poetry God", he must be quite accomplished in poetry.
This is true. Kang Zhen has a relatively strong academic background. He studied under Huo Songlin, a professor at Shaanxi Normal University, and he can be regarded as getting guidance from an expert. It is reported that Huomen disciples account for almost half of the domestic Tang poetry academic community, and Kang Zhen is the most famous one. In addition, Kang Zhen is still a professor at Beijing Normal University. Can you say that he is not qualified?
On the one hand, he has served as a judge for the "Chinese Poetry Conference" many times, but on the other hand, he has repeatedly failed in the basic skills of poetry. The author is not looking for trouble, but Professor Kang Zhen did make mistakes in the basic skills of poetry. The most obvious thing is that when Professor Kang Zhen commented on Su Shi's masterpiece "The Four Wonders of Cijing Gongyun", when he read "riding a donkey into the desolate countryside", he actually read "riding a donkey into the desolate countryside (flat tone)". It can be seen that Kang Zhen did not conduct an in-depth study of the artistic conception of the poem, resulting in common sense errors.
Kang Zhen not only didn’t understand Pingchi, but his interpretation of the poem was also very inconsistent. For example, when Kang Zhen commented on Meng Haoran's "Su Jian Dejiang", he explained that "the sky is low in the wild and the trees are low, but the clear moon on the river is close to the people", he misinterpreted it as "it seems lower than the trees, but the trees have fallen to the sky." In fact, "low" is a verb to make, meaning "to make the trees in the wilderness look low". If it is interpreted as "the sky is low", it is a wrong part of speech determination. Therefore, it is more appropriate to interpret it here as "the vastness of the wilderness makes the trees appear very low."
It can be seen that Kang Zhen, as the "poetry god", also made many mistakes in the basic skills of poetry. At this point in writing, the author not only remembered what Chen Danqing said about intellectuals and being on TV: "Real expression is almost impossible", the so-called "academic TV" is basically TV entertainment", and "real intellectuals" cannot be on TV. .
Chen Danqing’s statement is worth learning from. It points out the dilemma of intellectuals on television, that is, they are dominated by the preset tone and procedures of the television station from beginning to end, and it is difficult to express their own performance. at. In fact, real academic experts are very dignified and disdain to appear on TV. Chen Danqing's statement also lets us know about many routines on TV. To put it bluntly, even real intellectuals may be incapable of helping themselves when they appear on television.
In any case, the greatest contribution of "Poetry God" Kang Zhen is to pull some young people back from the worship of the entertainment circle and promote traditional culture. No one can make mistakes without being a sage, and one cannot deny his level just because of a few spoken words. In a word, Professor Kang Zhen should be more tolerant. In a word, Professor Kang Zhen is a high-level expert and scholar, and cannot be used to cover everything.
