-Preface to "Poems on the Moon Building"
Author: Ding Mang Shu Guisheng
Ye, a very poetic name. With the successful publication of the first volume of "China Contemporary Poets and Poets' Grand View" edited by him, and the continuous call for papers for the second volume, friends in the poetry circle are becoming more and more familiar with this name. I deeply admire his great spirit and persistent spirit.
Recently, we were invited to preface his book "Poems on the Moon Building", and came across that he had profound attainments in poetry, prose, drama, comparative literature research, art, music, law, cultural information dissemination and many other aspects. And especially love poetry and literature, and have made extraordinary achievements in ordinary study, work and life. He made unremitting efforts, presided over Jiangnan Poetry Friends Bookstore in a difficult situation, and created, edited and published many poetry (poetry) literary works, which propped up a world for poetry. Talents like Jiangnan are rare, and their feelings are commendable!
Looking through Yue Yue Lou Poetry Draft, we find that Hua Qian's poetry has its own full personality characteristics, and its basic style is fresh, elegant and ethereal. Writing scenery, chanting things and sending feelings are mostly the charm of the pastoral poems of the Six Dynasties and the legacy of the seven sages of the bamboo forest. Hua Qian, formerly known as Quan Shu, whose name is Qing Lin, whose pen name is Shanshui Ye Fu, whose name is Shanshui Lover, is the landlord who reads the moon. His heart and feelings are between the breeze and the bright moon and the distant mountains and near the water. Therefore, poetry is a multi-faceted work with a natural sound. The whole thing is: Cai Wen's tapestry flies in the sky, and the soul prints the moon pen to shake the feelings.
There are fresh, natural and pleasant works in the book, such as: "Flowers bloom before the window and the moon, and love is in the eyes." ("Reading the Moon Building Study Room") "Open the door to welcome the spring wind, study and abandon the customs." ("My Reading") "In the early summer in the countryside, farmers robbed food. It's cloudy and urgent, and I'm still busy at night. I just cut the wheat in the field and planted it in the field. " ("Busy Farming") "Vientiane is affectionate, and Qi Fei is a magpie." ("Wing Chun Mei") "Songhe sings rhapsody and Zhuhai plays big chords." ("Dengwawu Mountain Mouth Zhan") "The sound of the waves in my ears starts at night, and my heart looks at Qiantang with the tide." ("Recalling Qiantang") "Open the clouds and have a good view, and Wan Li looks at the clear sky." ("Climbing to the Top of the Mountain") "Magnificent rivers and mountains were made in the world, and the vast stars have climbed from ancient times to the present." (Send Life) "I still remember the road when I left, full of stars." ("Walking Shanghai") "Standing and walking to see the scenery, tourists are easily distracted in the scenery. Looking back on your life, everything is fly ash. Flowers are bright and drunk every night, and the wind is light and clouds are everywhere. Emotions are recalled, and the four seasons are fragrant for spring. " ("Visiting Flower Lantern"). There are also ethereal, mysterious, alert and moving works, such as: "It is good to have a poetic heart, and people who don't wear clothes are more beautiful. Listening to the wind is not the wind, and watching water is not like water. " ("Tanbei to the Moon") "The drizzle moistens the green hills, and the breeze watches the white clouds. Birds are everywhere and reptiles are everywhere. " ("Untitled"), "Love hides thoughts and dreams hide secrets. Warm flowers, cool birds know. " ("Care for the Next Generation"), "One step in place, a thousand steps to Tianmen. Looking back at the fog, there are many clouds. " ("Climbing Mount Tai") "Wind and rain sweep the world, lightning hero." ("Free from vulgarity") "How far the heart is, how long the road is, and how high the mountain is, how wide the eyes are." ("Answer Friends") "Turn over ancient books and brush Kun out of the sleeve." ("Send a schoolmate at night") "When winter comes without thunder, love like fire can drive away the cold." ("Appreciating Plums") "The time is still around the sky, and the thunderstorm is like a horn." ("Untitled") "The heart smiles at me outside, and people are happiest when they want nothing." (Poor Buddha) "The friendship between us is profound and the world is vast. They are all ordinary customers, and no illness is better than money. " ("Improvise Today") "Only with ambition can we achieve great things, and only with depth can we sail a big ship. There is lofty sentiments and strong blue sea, but no obsequiousness helps heaven. In the words and deeds of ups and downs, the ups and downs in the world refer to caring. May Yun Zheyue know the wind and rain, and I am full of poetry. " ("To Friends of Poets") and so on. These poems not only express the author's true feelings, but also reveal the author's aesthetic taste. It also shows the author's life philosophy of loving and treating nature well, and the words are filled with true purity, simplicity, freedom and broadmindedness.
Hua Qian's poems are rich in content, wide in subject matter, close to the society and strong in the times. Although he advocates nature and cares about mountains and rivers, he is not a hermit in the mountains or a passive hermit. For the social life of the times, we take an enthusiastic attitude of concern and participation, actively observe and think, and dare to comment and intervene. Enthusiastically praise and praise things that are true, good and beautiful; Boldly expose and lash those false, evil and ugly things; Full of optimism and heroic confidence in the future career and a better life. There is positive praise: "South Lake boating lamp, Beijing-Hong Kong spark burning dry Kun." ("Celebrating the 85th Anniversary of the Founding of the Party") "When the wise gather, the country will prosper, and the helmsman likes to sail by the wind." (Ode to the Century) "How mighty the spring breeze is now, and the years to come will be more brilliant." (Untitled Couple) and so on. The irony is revealed as follows: "Being an official is self-respecting, and words and deeds reflect hooliganism. Fox Group set up a dog party in private to discredit the leadership image. " ("Xijiang Yuezayong"), "Look at people's faces, kiss up, smart and ignorant. For money and less dignity, slaves bend over. " (Nian Nu Jiao Quan) and so on.
Hua Qian, a scholar, teacher, poet and editor, is worthy of the glorious title of cultural gardener and engineer of human soul. He wrote many poems about teachers and campus, such as: "Wind and rain make an image, but time changes the face.". It is difficult to plow an ox, but a teacher is virtuous. Grasping chalk in one hand and sowing spring in all seasons. " ("Teacher's Day Writing"), "lip ploughing and tongue waving pointer, urging horses to take advantage of spring." ("Singing for the Teacher") "Sunshine and rain are timely and appropriate, and teaching shows love and reason. Flowers and trees grow well with spring, so why worry about mountains and rivers? " ("Campus Feelings") and so on. Among them, "grasping chalk in one hand and sowing spring in all seasons." It can be described as a good sentence in a good sentence. In just ten words, the image and spirit of the teacher are perfectly portrayed.
Hua Qian's poems are ideological, artistic, emotional, vivid and philosophical, with fresh language, easy to understand, vivid and fluent, poetic, pleasing to the eye and touching. Some poems also reveal an ideological system of "Confucianism, Mohism and Buddhism", from which people can appreciate a supreme and beautiful realm of life. Although rhyming, leveling and antithesis don't stick to metrical rules, some poems break through the shackles of metrical poems and may be accused of formal defects, but after all, they are thousands of times better than those so-called poems that conform to metrical rules in form but lack poetry in content, thought, language and art.
We hold that, without binding thoughts or hurting meaning with words, the poet should try his best to follow and use the metrical rules of poetry to enhance the musical beauty of poetry; In order to modernize, popularize and popularize poetry, we should carry out reform and innovation, absorb artistic specialties such as new poetry and folk songs, and carry out experiments on new-style poetry without being bound and restricted by stereotypes.
Hua Qian's poetic style is basically consistent with the poetic style we advocate, including the idea of innovating poetic style on the basis of new and old poems and folk songs, which is not limited by traditional metrical rules. We are very happy with his achievements in poetry and literature creation, editing and publishing exchanges, and sincerely wish him to play a greater role and make greater contributions in the future poetry culture.
We believe that readers will be inspired and edified through careful study and appreciation.
