Looking at Mr. Shang Aimin's new book, there are many obvious changes compared with the previous Poems of Wen Taozhai. The new work touches more diverse things and broadens our horizons. For example, after watching a blockbuster "Liberation", he wrote nine poems, starting from Kunlun Column, to General Peng, Liaoshen Campaign, and the army going south. And all the way to the front army: "Shrinking food and donating food is a just war, pushing a stretcher with the iron flow. Shandong's father is full of pride and a long Yangtze minor. " The kind of * * who watched the bullets cross the river with his own eyes, and the former army who stood by the Yangtze River humming a hometown tune and looking forward to the next good news, is a special emotional appeal endowed by the times and cannot be repeated.
Looking back objectively, there is more than one place in this book. For example, his evaluation of Zhang is: "Zhang was a famous anti-Japanese star, but he died in the civil war." I once visited the place where Zhang was killed and saw Zhang's grave in Ann. The merits and demerits are clear, and the people will never forget them. This is history. " His "Gong Zheng Sai Qiu Hong Zhang Tan Fuling General" is written like this: "Lead the famous anti-Japanese war, defend the city and break the waves. Risk one's life to win popularity. Shan Xin has a strong pedigree and a hero. A suit with seven wounds can last eight years. Great achievements are reserved for painters. /Meng Lianggu will go to Maicheng, alone in a thousand waves. It is tragic to cry for hopelessness and die in the civil war. The merits and demerits of life are different. The success or failure of the army is embarrassing. "The merits and demerits are objective, black and white, which reflects the author's profound view of history. Another example is "Three Thousand Blood and Tears Return to the Road" in another article "Welcome the Surviving Expeditionary Force to Return to China with Tears", which is similar to Hu Zhang's "Gong Ci": "A maid-in-waiting has lived here for twenty years. However, ask her for this song and use the first few words of this song to see how she tries to hold back her tears. "
The author is becoming more and more mature in the description of big scenes. Taking Impression of Third Sister Liu —— Watching Guilin Landscape Performance as an example, we explain: "Folk culture is precious, and dreams are intangible and tangible. Ten mountains hang the scenery, and a bay of clear water serves as a silver screen. Thousands of people, old and young, forgot to dance, and the guests were amazed. Third Sister knows the world, and Lijiang River is homesick. " From scenery to actors and audiences, from humanity to nature, a seven-syllable character is vivid and colorful, and there is a peaceful atmosphere between heaven and earth.
Although my old friend has made great achievements in the creation of traditional poetry, I still told him mercilessly: "When writing poetry, do as the Romans do. You have noticed this, but it is not enough. " The "vulgarity" here is not tacky, but refers to "following the big slide" and falling with the downward trend of the public. The form of poetry originated very early, but it is a process of taking root, sprouting, flourishing and bearing fruit. It was not until the Tang Dynasty that it really reached maturity and produced great fruits. No matter the quantity and quality of poets or the exquisite degree of poetry itself, it is unprecedented and has become a cultural model of the Chinese nation.
However, today's situation is completely different. Both the position of metrical poetry in the literary world and the position of its author in the society are fundamentally different from those in the Tang Dynasty. In the Tang dynasty, it was used to seek fame and make friends with powerful people, so many children studied poetry seriously from an early age. Luo was only seven years old when he wrote Ode to Goose: "Goose, Goose, Goose, Xiang Tiange. White hair floating green water, red palm clear waves. " Natural, vivid and vivid, it has been passed down to this day. Today, although there are a vast number of teams writing metrical poems, there are poems in all provinces and counties, but it is a pity that the authors are mainly old, and some people even learn to entertain themselves after entering the university for the aged, and they do not completely treat it as a literary creation. Therefore, when modern people write ancient poems, they often only pay attention to its flatness, rhyme and some technical problems, but ignore the thinking in images, which is the life of poems and is related to the life and death of metrical poems. Conceptualized things like this once flourished in the era of * *, and were carried around in vehicles and sacks. This historical lesson has to be taken seriously.
In view of this, I think Mr. Shang Aimin has been working hard to reform metrical poems all his life and has created a lot of good poems with simple language and vivid images. For example, "Loofah Gallery on the Stream": "The green vine also climbs the wall on the shelf. Who has seen the color gallery across the river? On the bank of Erli, the pillars are fastened, and seedlings are dragged on a stream. Golden flowers bloom in the sun, and turquoise loofah is long. A-mei rocked the boat to pick up the joy, and my brother whistled for the morning light. " It should be emphasized here: "Two shores are tied with columns, and one stream drags seedlings." An ordinary sentence, when it comes to the poet's mouth, can easily become a poem. Do you find it strange? Another example is Goose Commander:
"There is a cloud floating on the lake, canoeing by geese.
The wind blows on the edge of the hat pole, so the white-haired man is natural and unrestrained. "
It's like East China Sea prints.
In the third part of this book, the author has set up another chapter, adding Qu after the poem. This is also the author's unique poetic style, leaving himself a tailor-made land for the reform of metrical poetry. Whether the author intends to do this, we haven't exchanged views, it's just my guess. But in any case, he is fruitful in this respect, and he has found a way to adapt to his own development. For example, The Old Man Selling Vegetables in the Palace is a good example: "Self-conscious vegetables in your own garden are pollution-free and pesticide-free. The electric donkey runs fast. Open the frame and sell it. No price increase, no water production, no generosity. /Don't be generous to a fraction, truth is enough. The original ecology is loud and heavy, and there is no copper cigarette bag at the waistband. Putting money in your pocket is not a brother, but a pot of wine is a brother I was tired and was thrown out of the sky. "This old farmer is not only a person, but also represents the farmers in the vast new countryside. He sells "conscience dishes" grown at home, without pesticides, price increases, water and spare parts. His image is huge and magnificent, which makes people look up. But he is also a real free man. After selling vegetables, a bag of cigarettes and a pot of wine are "exhausted and thrown outside the cloud nine". How cute! Another aunt who spread pancakes also caught the attention of the author, "Aunt who sells flowers on Zhonglu Road and pancakes on the street": "The coal stove on the tricycle is booming. Hot cigarettes and fresh cakes are busy. Eggs with chopped green onion are very attractive and fragrant. Crowded by passers-by, colorful greed. Convenient and popular. The good news is that many a mickle makes a mickle. /I am hardworking and hope to go home in the moonlight on a winter night. The fire in summer morning reflects the sun in the morning. Although I am very busy and unscathed, I live comfortably and sing happily every day. The good news is that both children and children are going to college. " His central idea is "bear hardships and stand hard work and spread hope". Because there is hope, she is not afraid of hardship and fatigue. Moonlight in winter nights and sunrise in summer are not a problem. In the final analysis, all the hard work is to "send a pair of children to college." Although she is spreading pancakes, it is hope. The whole story is true and it is also the language of poetry. Neither affectation nor affectation, like a stream going down the mountain, singing all the way.
