1, keywords: dust, anger and flexibility. People who are "dusty" accept "anger" and become "alive with spirit". The same is true of poetry. The image, context, metaphor and metonymy of a poem are the necessary components of "dust", which we call "poetic objects". The object of poetry is the real "living with spirit" and the "poetry with spirit" embodied in "living with spirit". The so-called "poetry with spirit" in the true sense embodies every muscle, bone and flesh of the poem, and every gesture shines with the glory of God.
God sent him to leave the Garden of Eden to cultivate the land where he came from. (Genesis 3: 23)
2, keywords: "out" and "from the soil". Due to the intervention of sin, the "living soul" and the image of God were separated and alienated, and they were driven out of the Garden of Eden, which gave birth to various schools of poetry on the "thorns and thistles" coming from the soil. At present, there are metrical school, landscape school, potato school, Sanfu school, Bobo school, Rooted school, Avant-garde school, Guardian school, QQ school, fantasy school, hobo school, intellectual school and non-school in China. Each faction has its own "wind theory", "flag theory" and "mind theory". Some of these works produced in Thorns and Tribules are just seeking for the past and following the trend, others are eaten alive, and some works are crazy, pornographic, abnormal and vulgar. Some works have strange forms, such as wordless gobbledygook, which no one can explain. However, these sweaty farm work can only be a "live" and can't feed the spirit inside. Year after year, the "living" will still return to the dust.
If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The past has passed, and everything has become new. [Second Forest 5: 17]
3. Keywords: "new". On the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, there is the largest mural in the history of world art-Genesis. When God stretched out his hand to Adam with infinite power,
When Adam holds God's hand, he will gain life and strength. When Adam didn't touch the hand of God, his golden proportion body and strong body were just a relatively perfect "dust" person. Only when Adam holds God's hand will he be "angry". The spirit embodied in the work is "living with spirit". When we appreciate this work, we see people's inner spirit through "dust".
There are two words "new" in the original Bible. A word refers to the time sequence and is called "Nyas" (in advance 1. 4: 12). Another new word is "Kenasi", which is new in nature. Such as the new man (Ephesians 2: 15), when Adam was made of clay, although he was "new"; But this "new" will change qualitatively over time (due to dust). Only when he touched God's hand did another unchanging "new" enter his mind and become a new person.
China also has some excellent poems, which play an important role in the inheritance and development of China's poems. There are many excellent works from the Book of Songs, Chu Ci, Han Fu, Yuefu, Tang Poetry, Song Ci, Yuan Qu to China's poems now. But these works are only relatively perfect "dust" works, and their aesthetic consciousness is limited to people's sensory taste or self-preference. It can only be the existence of life, not the other side of spirituality.
Therefore, we are buried with him through baptism, so that our actions and actions can be renewed, just as Christ rose from the dead through the glory of the Father. (Rom。 6: 34)
4. Keywords "burial" and "new style". Poetry should leave its familiar hometown. And the Lord said to Abram, Leave your country, your house and your father's house and go to the land which I will show you. . (Genesis 12: 1) To make poetry a "spiritual poem", we must leave the aesthetic consciousness of our hometown, abandon our familiar aesthetic taste, smash those classic idols and go to the place indicated by God. Please wrap my soul with your warmth/please hold me with your hand/go deep into the light (near the source of kindness). Spiritual poetry is characterized by "style is human", and it is a new person who is resurrected after death, and every move has a new style. Only in this way can poetry "go deep into the light" and explore the essence of life. There is no doubt that there is no new style without burial, and there is no new style without one's own style. Not a poet, of course. This is also an important law of poetry creation, which is the same for everyone.
A poem with spirituality, as Laozi said, "Good is like water. Water is good for all things without dispute, and is hated by all, so it is a few words." The more spiritual poetry is, the stronger its bearing and integration, and poetry must enter the living water of the Lord; In this way, your poetry will never be thirsty. The poet Kong Xia used this sentence to describe burial and rebirth, and directly inserted it into the poem/lit a unique word/(Kong Xia, a reclusive singer) Here, "insertion" is "burial", and "inner" is the place where the soul lives and the stream where it can rest in peace; And "unique writing" is spiritual poetry itself.
You see, how beautiful it is for brothers to live in harmony. (Psalm 133: 1)
5. Keywords: "live in harmony". Sartre, a French existentialist writer, famously said, "Others are my territory". Sartre's thought shows the indifference and incompatibility of human heart. Why is this happening? The reason is very simple. "Hell" is the alienation and estrangement between people, and it is a terrible stranger. In this case, the poems written by poets are isolated, exclusive and cold words. Don't care about life, don't care about others, and don't take responsibility for reality, history and the future. Such poems are often loud, narrow-minded, far from truth, goodness and beauty, meaningless and worthless.
The poet Wei Shi described this form of living environment as a "word hole". "A word is a hole", and this "word hole" is what Sartre called "hell". In this "word hole", others became my hell, and the "existence on the other side" was completely submerged by the "word hole". Spirit is like "a fine horse eager to leave the body", eager to "arrive, the truth is at the other end of the discourse". What is the truth at the other end? Obviously refers to the beauty and goodness that human beings live in harmony. This beauty lies in the "invisible letter". A good poem must shine brilliantly on the basis of "living in harmony" and be commensurate with brothers. A letter, a wash, a spirit, share the love in life with others; In this fellowship, the consciousness of poetry runs in the Holy Spirit.
"In the beginning, God created heaven and earth. The earth is empty and chaotic. The deep side is dark. The spirit of God runs on the water. " (Genesis 1: 1-2)
6. Key words: "at the beginning". There is also a "beginning" in poetry, which is the most primitive place in the human mind; It is a pure land that is not polluted by sin, and we call it the world created by God. In this world, its beauty, its organization, its arrangement and everything is so orderly; For example, "adorned with gold" (Jeremiah 4: 3) and "God saw that everything he made was very good" (Genesis 1: 3 1). Since our ancestors committed crimes, the order of human mind has been completely destroyed. Concealed in people's hearts are arrogance, greed, gluttony, lust, laziness, jealousy and anger, which move around like roaring lions. Thus, the return of poetry is actually the return of human nature. The language of poetry must be expressed by the soul. In form, poetry is the condensation of various genres of language art, and poetry can tell "great changes through the ages" in a few words. Poetry can be used to explain the subtle changes of things in an instant; We can go deep into the mysterious inner world of everything, and conversely, we can tolerate everything at the same time in an instant. Poetry, as an art, should first precipitate rich and profound ideological and cultural connotations, and conform to the original aesthetic view of "truth, goodness and beauty". Only when a poem has the height of faith it wants to achieve can it reach the expected height of mind.
This is the poet Kitamura's description of the return of human nature in his poems. "Never drink again" means "be a sober person", "look after children" and "be friends with everyone". What the poem expresses is the "beginning" of "the spirit of God running on the water" in human nature. In the poem "To Be Alive" by Kitamura, all words are plain and simple, and the meaning of the poem is profound, multi-level, concise and dense. If there is no faith as the carrier of the soul, language will look pale and powerless. Only in the "beginning" can poetry see the frankness and simplicity of human nature. This kind of self-awareness is not fanaticism and kitsch, but is manifested in true temperament and conscience.
An excellent poem must confess to God on the original answer sheet of human nature. This kind of confession is not to show human nature, but to discover human nature; So as to approach the perfect divinity in the imperfect human nature and become one with the heart of Christ. The face of truth appears in the quietest place/in the wheat field/I would like to trade my life for this sacred glimpse ("The Holy Glance" Beicun). An arrogant heart can't write a good poem. A poet should first ask forgiveness and forgiveness before God as a sinner, so as to gain a clean heart and spiritual integrity. A poet should be free to open the window of the soul and reflect on all unjust things; Only when we return to the beginning of God can our poems have true temperament, great realm and great beauty and goodness full of divinity.
If I can speak the language of millions of people and the words of angels, but have no love, I will become a gong and a cymbal. 1 Corinthians 13
7. Key words: "love". what is love ? The Bible says: Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous, love is not boastful, not arrogant, not doing shy things, not seeking its own benefits, not getting angry easily, not being evil, not liking injustice, only liking truth; Always tolerate, always believe, always hope and always endure. Love never stops. (New Testament 1 Corinthians 13: 4-8) Spiritual poetry coincides with today's China culture, which shows us the powerful work of the Holy Spirit. For a long time, China's poetry has been "building a tower by burning bricks" in the national "Babel" culture. Sadly, this tower will not only fail to reach the sky, but will only lose itself in contradictory strange words. Happily, China's poems have come out from the narcissism of national culture. It is not only to find a spiritual way out, but also to realize that Christian culture is not only the absolute truth of reason, ethics and morality, and more importantly, it has entered God's life through profound reflection and repentance. "Because God is love" (1 John 4:8 1), because of love, the title of Christ is "Call him a brother, and then call him a father" (Beicun), because of love, "the blessing in pain is still as gentle as a dove" (Wei Shi in Jesus on the cross), because of love, knees/knees touch the ground/. ("I Kneel" Jiang Qingyi) The soul without love is fragile, life without love is absurd, and life without love is empty. What kind of love is this? Neither the philosophers in the west nor the sages and prophets in the east can complete this kind of love that is completely committed to mankind. It is this kind of love that people need to maintain each other's lives and love, and only this kind of love will never cool down and never dilute for thousands of years.
Poetry comes from life, but life comes from God. We will see that the poems that shock the soul will grow into towering trees on the land of China, with fruitful results. Because someone is already raising the torch of poetry, which is not bright but warm. "When I am near you, I will tell you my love, you will listen tirelessly, and I will do it tirelessly" (Jesus on the cross of Wei Shi). Yes, everything will pass, but love will never stop.
The purpose of spiritual poetry is to embody the spirit of Christ and swallow the pain in life in the form of a bitter cup, thus completing the mission of love. In Han (folk songs) Yuefu, what we read is an emotional momentum of "harmony between heaven and earth, but dare to refuse with the monarch". Although touching, it does not shock the soul. "Father, forgive them! Because they don't know what they are doing. " Only what Jesus said on the cross can convince our body and mind. In the poet Yanzi's pen, the poem of the soul has become the prayer of the soul: hearing your voice warm in the ear/seeing your smiling face face to face in the middle of the night/smelling your hair/seeing your eyes between your brow/looking/spring water entering your heart/. Such language comes from a pure heart, from the expectation and hope for the kingdom of God.
This is the note of eternal love.
The artistic conception of poetry is the dense growth of the tree of life in Eden. The idea of poetry is that the voice of the soul plays in heaven. The image of poetry is the unique renewal of language by the Holy Spirit.
