March is the time when hundreds of flowers bloom and hundreds of birds sing; March is the time when the rain is lingering and the spring tide surges; March is the time when poetry is brilliant and poetic. On this beautiful day, the famous poet Tang Song opened the silver rain curtain and came to my house. Suddenly, the humble house was warmed up and the wildflowers were glowing. The man in front of me is still as kind, friendly, and humble as before...
It has been nearly twenty years since I have known Mr. Tang Song. He has always treated me as a literary friend, a poet friend, and a neighbor from my hometown. But in my mind, he is not only a teacher, but also an elder. During my troubled and melancholy years, he gave me a lot of courage and comfort, allowing me to see a ray of light in my dark life. Even when he was working in Jianning County, far away from his hometown, he did not forget to write to me many times to encourage me. From his letters and the poems he read about me, I can always feel the warmth of spring and the coolness of summer, and feel a strong spiritual force that is constantly pushing me forward!
That day, Mr. Tang Song very sincerely and humbly asked me to take a look at his poem manuscript and asked me to correct it if there was anything wrong. I was very surprised - how could the students change the teacher's poems? Just think of it as reading and learning. I have always respected his truthful, kind and beautiful moral character, and even more admired his creative passion and perseverance. In more than 20 years, he has published more than 2,000 poems, essays, novels... and seven literary works. set. With his rich life experience and profound knowledge of history, geography and ancient literature, while traveling around China, he wrote about every detail of the journey in the form of new poems. "Ode to a Lonely Traveler at the End of the World" is a bunch of fascinating stories he picked. When I opened the poem paper, the beautiful scenery north and south of the Yangtze River, and the cultural monuments inside and outside the Great Wall were displayed in front of me one after another...
After half a month, I visited Mr. Tang Song's workplace as a guest. After talking about poetry for a while, he suddenly asked me to write a preface to this poem manuscript. I was even more surprised. It has always been the seniors who write prefaces to their juniors, and teachers who write prefaces to their students. How can we do the opposite? Besides, I am not a famous person, so how dare I, how dare I... But after his repeated requests, I had no choice but to obey his orders and write an ordinary "elementary school student composition" seriously.
After reading through the poetry manuscripts, I feel that Mr. Tang Song has unique artistic attainments in poetry: he has both the creative technique of new poetry that emphasizes imagery, and the rhythm and melody of classical poetry.
First of all, his poems have both form and spirit. They not only describe the external beauty of landscapes, but also imbue them with inner charm. The poem "Badaling" says, "Carry the essence of the Great Wall on your back, and you will become a majestic scenery that attracts world attention." It not only endows the grandeur of Badaling, but also highlights the majestic national spirit of the Great Wall; "The ancient romances that meandered through the Qin, Emperors and Han dynasties were blown by the mountain wind flags." It is in the form of a song of "Looking at the present day", praising and eulogizing the current society of prosperous times, peace, and national well-being. When the poet wrote about Chengdu, "the paradise on earth", he used the image of "the silent rain of the Tang Dynasty that has moistened everything for thousands of years" and pointed out that "the spring in Jinguan City is now more colorful." theme.
Secondly, his poems have many allusions, but there are no traces of them. Most of the poets' descriptions of scenic spots are expressed with historical allusions, which make the scenery vivid and full of passion. While activating the poetic style, he expressed the images in the poems very naturally, smoothly and completely without being obvious. For example, in the poem "Li Bai's Tomb", "I dreamed that the country of Tang Dynasty had been trampled to pieces by the Anshi Rebellion, and only the bright moon of Tianshan Mountain was still among the vast sea of ??clouds. Since the three thousand feet of white hair cannot hold back the sorrowful love of Jingye, why not sleep in this green mountain... ..." The poet quotes almost every sentence, and some even have more than one sentence, but it is catchy and full of charm when read. Using the classics as an image to eulogize the historical figures in the scenic spots and finally praise the landscape is a manifestation of the poet's interest in reciting poems and writing lyrics in the classical literature field since he was a child. Another example is that in "The Ancient Battlefield of Chibi", "The tall statue beside Yijiang Pavilion is still so graceful and graceful, and the 260,000 oars, oars and poles of Cao's army were broken while talking and laughing. This is an example of a war in which the weak defeated the strong. From then on, "Leave it in Chinese history textbooks." Here, the statue of Zhou Yu is used as an image, which not only expresses the historical allusion of Zhou Yu's victory over Cao Cao with a small number, but also writes about his role in the history of Chinese wars. The historical status of the book is written in a bold, unrestrained, natural and courageous way. The poet uses classics to paint scenes and history to write about people. He is not clichéd, but also shows that there are paintings in the poems, there are scenes in the paintings, and there are people in the scenes, constructing a colorful artistic realm that is both real and illusory, thus making the poem The emotions are ups and downs, and the weather is ever-changing.
Thirdly, the language of his poems is concise and expressive, and has the charm of classical poetry. The most notable features of the poet's use of language are mainly reflected in the following: First, the sentence patterns are uneven, using long and short sentences to express emotions. For example, "At the poetry and drinking party in Wenchang Pavilion, you can sing gracefully and be drunk..." ("Peach Blossom Pond"), and "The Yangtze River, which cannot be locked by turtles and snakes, rolls eastward in Tang and Song Dynasty poems..." ("Peach Blossom Pond") "Yellow Crane Tower"), "The grass at the end of the world is alive with your loyalty and boldness; the waves in the South China Sea are blooming with your upright cry." ("Hai Rui's Tomb"). Second, the use of a variety of rhetorical techniques (such as layout, exaggeration, comparison, rendering, contrast, etc.) makes the poetic image appear very unique. For example, "Even the red sun of Shu is drunk in your arms." ("Luzhou Laojiao"), "The bloody March is whispering on the kapok branches..." ("Sanyuanli") , "A long embankment like a ribbon falls at my feet, and the Jinhe Water Pavilion leads me to find the indifferent mood of the Jiangnan water town.
" ("Island of the Sun"). The third is to rhyme freely, and no poem is without rhyme. For example, "The bright lifeline rises with sorrow, letting the blood-colored dusk drift into bronze-colored imagination. "("Tomb of the Taiping Martyrs"), and another example: "It is said that you are beautiful and have a bad life. You are full of resentment and have no place to talk. Your slim and beautiful figure greets the morning and sunset every day. " ("Goddess Peak"), "Aspirations for the Li family, love for the world. The eternal love song, always accompanied by the flowers of the South China Sea..." ("Lu Huitou"). The poet pays attention to magnificent words, seamless connection, and harmonious rhythm. He not only sees nature in the beauty of workmanship, but also shows the beauty of workmanship in nature, which shows that the poet is in The language of poetry focuses on designing the meaning and refining the sentences, so that the poems can achieve a concise and expressive artistic effect.
After reading the poems of the landscape poet Tang Song, "the poem is like the person" is my most vivid overall impression of him - - He has Tao Yuanming's otherworldliness and purity, and Li Taibai's elegance and spontaneity. I firmly believe that as Mr. Tang Song's experience becomes more and more abundant, he will have more and better poems to dedicate to readers. , the younger generation will have more opportunities to learn and learn from it.
