There are many celebrities in the capital, including poets Yi Shunding and Chen, poets Wang Bantang and Zhu, political activists Wen and Yang Rui, and important officials Qu Hongji and Chen Baoshen. They have all participated in poetry meetings of various societies, forming a poetry bell craze. Children participate in poetry bell activities and get the support of parents; Those who want to take part in the imperial examination for fame and gain write poems and bells in order to write eight-part essays and artistic poems; People who are arty are also willing to participate in this kind of "poetry and wine duet". During Guangxu period, "every banquet is a poem clock". Some big clubs have also been set up in various places, and many celebrities, such as Wang Yanyun and Zengxiang Fan, have participated. Shanghai first published papers, and the works of the Association were sometimes sent to Nanjing by telegram, and Zengxiang Fan, the special envoy of Jiangning, read the papers. Some restaurants are also famous for hosting this activity. After the Revolution of 1911, Xiaoming Society and Saishan Society were established in Beijing, each with 100 or 200 members. Celebrities were all snared, even Liang Qichao was among them. Fan Yuan's poetry bell activities in Shanghai brought together the main representatives of Tongguang poets. Fujian is known as the "Fujian School" because of its talented people and handsome style of works. Other provinces also have high-level associations to continue their activities, and the level of their works is constantly improving, reaching the peak before War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression. Later, in the great changes of politics and society, the activities of poetry bells declined rapidly, and now China people have no idea about the grand occasion of poetry bells in those years.
Zhong Yi Shi Zhong attaches great importance to antithesis, especially conception. A meaningless stone clock is called a "dumb clock". If you knock silently, it will be tasteless to sing. Covered with white powder walls facing black paint boards and the like, it is by no means attractive, which is the weakness of Cantonese school. Therefore, an authentic poem clock must have a poetic tone style. Put it in a poem is a famous poem, and put it in a clock is a famous clock. Or "poetry clock", it is not an exaggeration to say that it must have the trend of inheritance and integration. Gai Shizhong is one of the seven laws. The ancient people's famous couplets, or depicting things, or holding their arms straight, are rarely in one couplet, and there is a trend of inheritance or integration.
At the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, Fujian Zhong School had this system, which was called "changing poems" in Japanese, that is, changing the seven-character rhyme of quatrains into two sentences. This variety of poems, or those called "single-claw patchwork, carved jade double hooks", is not as common as the name of the poem bell. There are two schools of poetry and bells, Fujian School and Guangdong School. The dispute between the two schools has never stopped. The Fujian faction is still meaningful in terms of ethereal, while the Guangdong faction is still fighting. In all fairness, the two schools have their own strengths, which can transform the codes of the Cantonese school, but they are better than the Fujian school. I remember that Cai Naihuang, a native of Guangdong, was an old bell ringer. He was an official. However, every time he reads a Cantonese clock shaft, he throws it at it. Therefore, the division between Guangdong and Fujian is not limited to people and places. Mr. Lin Xiongxiang, a close friend, advocates relaxing the poem clock to make it more exquisite than quatrains, but many people who are good at it feel the same way. If it can be unique, making this iron clock into an atomic clock can be said to be a great progress in the non-art world.
Clock law
The rhythm of poetry should be fine and the bells should be unique. The ancients disciplined poetry and sought its best conditions, but Shaoling's son did. such as
The flag is warm and the dragon and snake move; Palace wind is slightly higher than sparrows.
No one has seen bamboo shoots; The baby on the beach sleeps next to its mother.
Jade in the small hall nest on the river; Kirin lies on a high mound beside the garden.
The old lady draws paper as a chess game; A child knocks a needle to make a hook.
The waves between the river and the sky are rough; Trapped in the clouds, grounded in the shadows.
Mushroom rice is black; Cold lotus room powder.
Shame on blowing short hair and hats; Laughing at others is the crown.
Clear water falls from thousands of streams; Jade Mountain is high, and two peaks are cold.
The shore is waiting for the wax light; It's getting cold in Shan Ye.
Embroider five elements and add weak lines; Blow six tubes of dynamic fly ash.
Stark blew the fifth watch, challenging the drum and horn; The stars and rivers in the sky pulsate on three mountains.
My road is covered with petals-I haven't cleaned it for others; The door of my thatched cottage has been closed, but it is open for you now.
The vegetable market is far from delicious; However, in my hut, we have old wine in our cups.
But the wind and dust from one ocean to another separated me from my brothers; I can't help crying, I am so far away.
The arctic court will not change; Robbers dare not take risks from the western hills.
