At the end of the song, Mr Ye Jiaying appeared on the big screen. The old gentleman on the screen is 94 years old and still reads poetry forcefully. With the unique charm and reading method of the last century, he is still elegant and graceful with the changes of these years. With her unique voice, she read out the sadness of the last century and the voices and thoughts of people in the last century. The literary charm and accomplishment of the old gentleman can not be ignored. Of course, the old gentleman's literary talent is also unique. As an era that has experienced war and regime change, the old gentleman's writing is delicate and gentle, which is a kind of calmness to see through the world and brings all the pain and sorrow, and it is a kind of pain and fatigue that brings blood and tears to the separation of relatives.
When Mr. Ye Jiaying appeared, the birthday of the years made her old lady show off, but the bright star in her eyes never fell. From her, we see a girl full of years of torture, a female teacher who keeps trying new things, and a girl who is sometimes unhappy and angry. Although years have tortured her body, what will never change is the mentality and belief of the old gentleman.
The whole film takes Mr. Ye Jiaying's old Beijing quadrangle as the "structure", from "home" to "country", and uses poetic images to blend Ye Jiaying's personal life course with the "poetic history" of Tang poetry and Song poetry into a spiritual river with moonlight. Throughout the ages, joys and sorrows have made the immortal beauty of Tang poetry and Song poetry. And Mr. Ye's persistence and inheritance of China's classical poetry is touching. On one side of the documentary, there is a chilling breath conveyed by the soundtrack of "Eight Poems of Autumn Prosperity": "Jade dew withers maple trees, Wushan Wuxia is bleak"; On the other hand, Ye Jiaying told her all kinds of hardships in life with a rather indifferent attitude. This contrast highlights Ye Jiaying's "weak moral beauty".
After the movie, the description of Mr. Ye Jiaying's life seems to be an understatement to her, but in fact, it is an undeniable fact in the life of the elderly. The film is over, but the story about the old man is not over yet, and the inheritance of traditional culture will not disappear here. This documentary is about the old gentleman, but it is more about cultural inheritance. The century-old culture should be passed on and not forgotten by the older generation.
First of all, my understanding of Mr. Ye is only a little knowledge, limited to reciting and commenting on some poems. Moreover, I have always been confused about teacher Ye's recitation, but I like reading teacher Ye's analytical poems very much.
Because of this, I always subconsciously want to have a chance to get to know her better. When I saw the global release of "Water Moon in Hand", I decided not to wait, I wanted to watch this documentary.
However, Xingtai has been gone for a long time.
On the afternoon of June 265438+1October 2 1, I waited for a week and finally called the cinema in Xingtai. Why is there no screening of "Water Margin in the Hand"?
As a result, because it is not Shang Yan, it is too small, and there is no plan to arrange it at all. However, Jinyi Studios gave me hope, saying that the reservation was ok, and they had films. Well, let's see, although children may not understand such a slow-paced documentary, they may get good grades or their parents will gain something.
So on the morning of the 23rd, I was able to get close to Teacher Ye.
I think, if I am not an organizer and need to take care of discipline and the safety of children, I will probably immerse myself in the film. Even so, tears wet my mask again and again.
Because I read intermittently, I can only record my words one-sidedly.
The film uses a string of beads, taking Mr. Ye's life as the main line, stringing together the hardships and flash moments in her life. It can be said that no pains are too sweet to come, and heaven makes it harmful without any benefits.
Mr. Ye's life for most of his life is "not easy".
Less wars, unhappy marriages, middle-aged women ... It was not until the end of the Cultural Revolution in Chinese mainland that she resumed the college entrance examination that she resolutely decided to return to China and settle down.
This is the first time that I know something about Mr. Ye's life. If there is any great feeling about personal destiny, it is not necessarily so. After all, I know my destiny, and I have had some good and bad experiences more or less. I'm used to where you go and study in Huaikong. But it is impossible not to touch the details of life, which is the sublimation of individual life. As a teacher, every poet has his own misfortune, and Mr. Ye's suffering is also personal. It is touching that their sufferings are all expressed in poetry, surpassing themselves and becoming the feelings of all mankind.
So, the film says, "Poetry saved her."
Yes, poetry saved her, and she devoted her life to poetry. She found her life support in poetry, and she decided that her mission for the rest of her life was to inherit and chant. In her words, "If the marine heritage can be learned, it will be the future era." She wants to recite ancient poems and pass them on. "Now don't accept it doesn't matter. Just like the ancient myth that the blue whale can cross the ocean, the sound of this sea may be heard and moved in the future. "
This is what I value most in this movie. With a sense of mission, Mr. Yuzryha exudes a gentle light.
Not everyone can listen to Mr. Ye's poems, such as me. This film is the first time I have heard her voice up close. Her voice flashed into immersion, and I whispered to her, feeling its beauty beyond words. Perhaps, because of my clumsiness, I didn't learn her tone for a while, but the charm of Jialing and the legacy of the blue whale will be endless.
Reflections on Holding the Moon in the Hand The third chapter "Holding the Moon in the Hand" is a film recording Mr. Ye Jiaying, a master of classical poetry in China. The name of the film comes from Spring Mountain written by Yu, a poet in the Tang Dynasty: Everything in Spring Mountain forgets to go home at night. Holding the clear spring water, the spring light shines on the moon, as if the round moon is in your own hands; Playing with mountains makes you feel heavy. The little guy around Skadstyle is so strong that he can't bear to leave, no matter what it is; I made up my mind to leave several times, but I was also attached to mountains, rivers, flowers and trees. Unforgettable bell, dark green balcony. Just listening to the name has already felt the beauty of poetic artistic conception. The beginning of the film is also full of poetic beauty, but what is hidden behind it is the hardships and tribulations of Mr. Ye Jiaying's life. In the film, she mentioned Mr. Wang Guowei's words: "Nature makes people hurt, and there is no benefit." She also recalled that the teacher Gu Sui said that "all worldly laws are poetic methods, which make people feel great sorrow and make people have another life experience." I feel that this is a portrayal of her suffering from chaos, but her soul is mixed with "the beauty of weak morality." That is, in the movie, the poem that her friend said made her life, and her life also made a poem.
Mr. Ye Jiaying was born in Hanlin family on 1924. His father was a scholar in the Qing Dynasty. I started reading The Analects at the age of five. 1 1 year old, my mother died of illness at the age of 18. At the age of 24, she went to Taiwan Province Province with her husband and was persecuted by "white terror". Her husband has been in prison several times, and his temperament has changed greatly. 0000000000005 I have never read her poems, and from my ignorance, I didn't even know there was such a "taxi in skirt" before. But after watching the movie and reading some of her poems, we can feel her life experience from her poems. I think it has the taste of Du Fu, which is both sad and beautiful.
But there are differences. Poetry is quiet and true. I like a lot of empty shots, chanting, stone tablets, cheongsam, murals, mountains and rivers, rain and snow, the four seasons, and poems inserted in movies, which often appear in ancient poetry and create a kind of poetry through careful and dynamic rhythm. Seemingly obscure, perhaps the director thinks that these are the representatives of traditional culture, which has a certain echo with Mr. Ye's classical poems, so they should be interspersed in the film. When Mr. Ye was over 90 years old, he talked about his poems, his experiences, places he had been before, photos he took, and cadences when reciting poems. When he spoke, his voice was naturally powerful. From the perspective of documentary alone, it gives people an elegance and calmness that is not afraid of getting old.
Few people in our time really like poetry. Except for those ancient poems memorized by rote in high school because of the college entrance examination, it is really difficult for us to read poems like Mr. Ye and get them at your fingertips. So I especially envy the contestants of the Chinese poetry conference. Poems handed down from the vast history, through their mouths, are displayed in everyone's field of vision in the form of programs and become a little cultural absorption in our leisure time.
I still remember that my poetry enlightenment should be A Dream of Red Mansions. I saw a dream of red mansions in primary school, and there are many poems in it. I thought poetry was beautiful at that time. Fortunately, all the Chinese teachers I met when I was a student were very good and encouraging teachers. Under their leadership, I began to like poetry. I think it's because I like poetry. Its influence on me is to add a lot of romanticism to my concept, because reading poetry actually requires a lot of imagination. I still remember being selected as a representative to participate in the county-wide poetry reading competition in the third grade. Just after reciting the whole poem "Moonlit Night on a Spring River", I repeatedly imagined myself as a poet Zhang, living by the river and experiencing his life and his poems.
Perhaps in the eyes of many people, it is nothing more than pretending or imitating, but in fact I enjoy the process of reading poetry. The feelings and images written by poets through objective lens, situation and artistic conception are always easy to produce a sense of * * *. Just like an actor acting, if you have experienced other people's lives, you can certainly get some value from the role that can help you grow. As Mr. Ye said in the movie, "Recitation is his own connotation of poetry, and his feelings and artistic conception have an experience and a voice, which revives the poet's life in your voice."
If all human beings have a kind of loneliness, sadness and loneliness, then everyone should find their own beliefs or support their own lives in life and live a short, long, ordinary and not dull life. What Mr. Ye found was a poem. I hope I can find it, too.
This movie is like a wonderful poetic dance, as director Tsun-shing Chen said: "(This movie) is an invitation to dance, inviting people who know how to join."
I can't help thinking of the bright moon in the Tang Dynasty a thousand years ago. There are poets Li Bai, Du Fu, talented Bai Juyi and amazing Wang Wei ... The whole Tang poetry contains more than 40 thousand poems of more than 2,500 poets in the Tang Dynasty, and there are poets everywhere in Chang 'an in the Tang Dynasty. People can't help admiring the bright moon at that time and reading all the beautiful poems.
The moonlight after 1000 years is still the same, but it is not the moonlight of that year. When we yearn for "a clear tree in Hanyang, a nest of herbs in Nautilus Island" and recall "fallen leaves fall like waterfalls, and I see the long river running", can we still have the pride of "the water of the Yellow River rises out of the sky, enters the sea, and never returns" and "talented people are used wisely! , spin a thousand silver, all come back! " ? When we look up at the starry sky, what still echoes in our ears is "sleeping in the wind and fishing on a frosty night", while when we look up at the bright moon, what we recite is still "endless, the river and the moon are similar year after year".
We wandered in the moonlight of Datang for a thousand years, as if we still couldn't get out of the moonlight of that year. In this process, angels with a mission come from time to time, the spring breeze turns into rain, the fire is passed down from generation to generation, and poetry is used as a raft to cross countless suffering souls in this pluralistic world. Mr Ye Jiaying is one of them.
Confucius once said, "There are 300 poems. In a word, they are innocent." This paper evaluates the characteristics of poetry as "gentle and honest, and teaches poetry", and holds that the Book of Songs can clarify people's minds after reading and serve as an educational tool. This is indeed a Confucian idea, but Confucius also admitted that poetry has a soothing effect.
Mu Xin, a writer, thinks that "The Book of Songs and The Songs of the South are two hard bows in China literature". The Book of Songs chooses northern poems and the Songs of the South ",while" Dong Fangshuo, seven sages of bamboo forest and seven sons of Jian 'an all have obvious influences from the Book of Songs, while Tao Yuanming is directly influenced by the Book of Songs ". Of course, the poet Li Bai was obviously influenced by Chu Ci, and Li Bai was actually Qu Yuan in the Tang Dynasty.
For five thousand years, with the continuous development of Chinese civilization, poetry is like a long river, and countless poets shine like bright stars in the Milky Way. When these human stars shine, the mountains and rivers are beautiful and the sun and the moon shine. Among them, there are outstanding talents who have become immortals and saints, and there are also preachers who have tried to spread the fire. In my opinion, Mr Ye Jiaying is not so much a poet as a missionary.
The poetry documentary Moon in the Hands tells the story of Mr. Ye Jiaying's life as a preacher of poetry culture. In the ancient music of Du Fu's Eight Poems of Autumn Prosperity, we followed Mr. Ye's footsteps, crossed Beiping in the Republic of China, Taiwan Province Province in the middle of last century and overseas on the other side of the ocean, and finally returned to our homeland. Along the way, there are traces of history, vicissitudes in troubled times, ups and downs of fate and ups and downs of life. More importantly, there are poems like the bright moon, which always light the lamp in the heart and warm the boundless world according to the suffering soul.
Mr. Ye Jiaying has been teaching for 75 years, and she is really full of peaches and plums. She inherited the mantle of her teacher, Mr. Gu Sui, and in the world of China's classical poetry, she picked fragrant flowers and spread seeds everywhere. Poetry not only accompanied and comforted her life, but also made Mr. Yuzryha go through thick and thin. Finally, it became a bright light, which also comforted and led many souls who had been ignorant and painful to sail to the other side.
This is the meaning of director Chen's "invitation to the dance"! This ticket has been issued, like snowflakes floating to every soul yearning for China's poetry culture. Let's dance! Rain or shine, years like water, happiness or sadness, meeting or parting, we might as well meet and smile "However, when China keeps our friendship, heaven is still our neighbor" and whisper, "There are bright moons in hand and flowers everywhere." The homesickness of the Millennium, at the moment when "the moon is now full of the sea and the horizon is * * *", "sneaked into the night with the wind and moistened things silently".
In 2020, the Nobel Prize in Literature was awarded to the American poetess Louise Gluck on the grounds that "because of her irrefutable poetic voice, her personal existence became universal with simple beauty". The poetess wrote: "I was born for a mission: to witness those great secrets." Now that I have seen life and death, I know that evidence is not a secret about the nature of darkness. "-"Aleshan's debut "
Yes, poetry is the secret of heaven, the secret of the universe that we don't know, and it was told to you and me implicitly through the hands of poets and missionaries. And the ticket for this dance may also be a key to open the beautiful secret of life. Whether you come dressed up or waiting, life will be richer and better.
