expansion:
Ouyang Xiu (August 6, 17-September 22, 172), whose name was Yong Shu, was drunk Weng, and was born in Yongfeng County, Ji 'an City, Jiangxi Province, and was born in Mianzhou (Mianyang City, Sichuan Province) in 17, a politician and writer in the Northern Song Dynasty.
In the eighth year of Tiansheng in Song Renzong (13), Ouyang Xiu became a scholar and experienced three dynasties, namely Renzong, Yingzong and Shenzong, and was an official with a bachelor's degree in Hanlin, a deputy envoy to the Council, and participated in political affairs. After his death, he gave a gift to a surname, the Duke of Chu, and posthumous title was "Wenzhong", so he was known as Ouyang Wenzhong.
There are 28 articles in this book, which not only contain anecdotes, but also record the author's feelings and comments on some groups of poets or some kinds of poems. The book also records the insights that the author's poetry friend Mei Yaochen did not write in his works. The pen is light and simple, and the writing is like flowing water, natural and smooth, which has been told to the population so far and is cherished.
The way of expression in Liuyi Shihua is just "universal response and appropriate response". According to the situation, there is no fixed and inevitable logical connection between the items in the poetic talk. However, on the other hand, Liu Yi Shi Hua has its own consistent poetic ideas.
To sum up:
First, in terms of "meaning", Ouyang Xiu advocates that things should be true, that is, the so-called "truth of things", and the truth of art should be consistent with the truth of life, and he opposes seeking only good sentences regardless of whether things are true or not. As the saying goes: "Poets are greedy for good sentences, but they are unreasonable, and they are also ill-spoken. For example,' The remonstrance in the sleeve goes to the sky, and the palace flowers on the head wait for the banquet', which is a good sentence, but the remonstrance must be based on chapters, and there is no reason to use the draft grass directly.
Second, in the aspect of "speech", Ouyang Xiu advocates exquisite carving and opposes being too vulgar without modification. He said: "Sheng Yu tasted the cloud: although the meaning and principle of the poem are common, those who are shallow and ridiculous are also sick." For example, a couplet in "To the Fisherman" says, "I don't see the market affairs in front of me, but I hear the wind and water in my ears", and the speaker says, "I suffer from liver and kidney wind".
Third, in the relationship between words and meaning, things and good sentences, Ouyang Xiu advocates "meaning and new language work". He quoted Mei Shengyu as saying: "Although a poet is in charge, it is difficult to make words. If you want a new language worker, you will get what your predecessors have not said, and you will be good. It is bound to be difficult to write, such as at present, with endless opinions beyond words, and then it is the best. "
