In the contemporary Chinese world, there are still many people who love old-style poetry. Not only can you recite, but you can also write poems. Generally speaking, compared with Tang poetry, contemporary metrical poetry is far from reality and lacks a lot of charm. These two points are worth pondering.
The ancients called it "six meanings" to analyze the poetic category of The Book of Songs. It is generally understood that "Ya Song" is the classification of physical materials, and "Fu Bi Trip" is the classification of artistic techniques.
Let's start with elegance. The author borrows ancient meanings to explain metrical poems represented by Tang poetry. I equate "wind" with "irony", which refers to poetry with realistic criticism; Elegance is equivalent to a poem expressing personal feelings, friends leaving and life interest in Tang poetry; Equating "Fu" with Acura Poetry.
From this point of view, the metrical poems published in People's Literature, People's Daily, Poetry Magazine, China Poetry, Contemporary Poetry and newspapers all over the world are mainly fu, followed by elegance, with the weakest style. Compared with Du Fu, Li Bai, Bai Juyi and Du Mu, what contemporary metrical poems lack most is "style", which is a true feeling of the real world. One of my uncles was persecuted during the Cultural Revolution. After the Cultural Revolution, I read his poems, many of which were written during the Cultural Revolution. In fact, they were "singing and dancing everywhere" and so on. This is not only the decline of poetry, but also the distortion of human nature and the decline of spirit. I feel inexplicably sad when I think about it. There are many metrical poets like my uncle, old and middle-aged. I really want to say to them: metrical poems are not feathers on your head, and they are not used for window dressing. Metric poems can only be written well if they become your personal diary.
Let's talk about Fu Bixing again.
Fu Bixing is three basic methods of poetry creation. There are many interpretations of these three words in the past dynasties, and Li, a scholar in the Song Dynasty, has a more practical understanding. He thinks: "Narrating things is endowed by words and feelings, and so are those who are full of feelings and things;" Seeking the ratio of things is expression, and those who attach things to feelings are also; Touching things with emotion is called prosperity, and those who have feelings are also. " In today's words, Fu is narrative and description, metaphor, prosperity and symbol.
It's hard to say from easy to easy. "The silkworm will weave until it dies, and the candle will weep every night" (Li Shangyin) is a metaphor, and "Guan Guan's dove is in Jiangzhou" is a symbol, a symbol, and it is the beginning of two sentences "My fair lady, my gentleman is good". In the early development of China's poems, such as The Book of Songs, Songs of the South, etc., comparison and harmony were widely used.
It is an important link to improve the creative level to learn Tang poetry, restore narrative and describe tradition in order to express emotion.
When writing "Fu", the description should be accurate, like excellent news works, one says one, two says two, and you can't judge with the full name at will. For example, poems such as "There are no bosom friends in the world" and "Every year is spring" can't stand scrutiny.
