The Ming Dynasty's Spokesperson

It was another bright spring morning. Old Alliance Leader Wang was looking at the patrolling sergeants outside. While he was in a trance, Lin Tailai suddenly walked into the courtyard in a hurry.

"Mr. Yanzhou! Your old friends must come to see you! Do you want to see them?" Lin Daguan stood outside the hall and shouted.

Alliance leader Wang Lao replied without thinking: "No!"

What's so good about being like this now? Let others see how you were ravaged?

Lin Tailai added: "But they put pressure on me, and I couldn't resist it, so I could only help them go to Pingshan Hall."

The old alliance leader said angrily: "Then why do you ask me what I am doing?"

Lin Daguanren said: "I just want to say that they must see you, not that I arranged for them to come.

All in all, no matter what they say or do after they see you, it has nothing to do with me. Please understand in your heart. "

Having dominated the literary world for thirty years, Wang and Lao leaders have rich experience in struggle. After hearing what Lin Daguan said, he suddenly felt something was wrong.

I am in the most embarrassing moment now, but my old friends must come to see me at this time. What is their intention?

In other words, it's okay for others to want to come and see you, but it's very problematic if they want to come and see you through Lin Tailai!

Not everyone may have malicious intentions, but you can’t rule out that there are one or two bad elements in the crowd, right?

It doesn't matter. I have encountered countless challengers over the years, but haven't I been able to deal with them all by various means? Except for a few barbarians.

Official Lin waved his hand at the courtyard door, and then he saw more than ten people filing in. They were all heavyweights in the literary world only under the leader Wang Lao, as well as Wang Shizhen's younger brother Wang Shimao.

Everyone was sitting in the Pingshan Hall chatting. Old Alliance Leader Wang said a few greetings, his eyes swept over everyone one by one, and finally locked on Wang Daokun.

In the mind of the old alliance leader, if there are bad elements in the crowd, the Wang Daokun brothers must be the most suspected.

Going back to the ancient school under the banner of the retro school is Wang Daokun.

As the hegemon in the literary world, Alliance Leader Wang did not like passive defense and counterattack, so he directly probed: "I heard that Wang Taihan took the Three Hundred Poems as his sect and compiled ancient and modern poems, respectively under the Fengya Ode, into a "Book of Poetry"? "

Wang Daokun replied: "This book does exist."

Alliance leader Wang Lao said again: "I also heard that there are actually poems from the Song and Yuan dynasties in the "Book of Songs"?"

Wang Daokun also answered calmly: "Indeed."

The old alliance leader Wang snorted coldly and scolded: "The people of the Song Dynasty seem old but they are indifferent, and the people of the Yuan Dynasty seem handsome but they are simple and vulgar. They are useless!"

Wang Daokun directly retorted: "To select the classics of poetry, we should weigh them according to the three hundred standards of style, elegance and praise in "Poetry".

Regardless of the time period, the poetry of the Song and Yuan dynasties should also be included in the selection. "

After a few rounds, the old alliance leader Wang understood that at least the Wang brothers came with bad intentions.

As we all know, the slogan of the retro school is "Poetry must prosper in the Tang Dynasty". This is a tradition inherited from Li Mengyang, one of the older generation leaders and one of the first seven sons. They regard the poetry of the Song and Yuan Dynasties as rubbish and completely abandon it and ignore it.

Leader Wang said calmly: "A few years ago, Li Yulin compiled a collection of poems, "Ancient and Modern Poems", which selected poems from ancient Yi, Han to Tang dynasties, and national dynasties, excluding poems from the Song and Yuan dynasties. do.

At that time, you, Wang Daokun, also said that only ancient Taoism was foreign, and you changed your considerations and sought Tang style. Why do you repeat it today? "

Wang Daokun replied: "From youth to old age, through sedimentation, the state of mind naturally has enlightenment. How can we live in the past and not change?"

The principles of learning from ancient poetry that you mentioned only satisfy the specific poetic aesthetics of the elders like Li Mengyang and others, and narrowly limit the scope of poetry learning.

As early as the Jiajing Dynasty, this principle of learning was slightly disliked by the later generations of heroes, and many people preferred the style of the early Tang Dynasty.

Today, it's time for a change. "

Alliance Leader Wang Lao asked: "With such criticism of Li Mengyang, it seems that you, Wang Taihan, want to set up another branch?"

Wang Daokun could not avoid it and responded positively: "The way of poetry cannot only be based on learning from the past, but also requires learning from the past. Li Mengyang's theory..."

Li Mengyang is the leader of the First Seven Sons, the founder and source figure of the retro style. When talking about poetry theory nowadays, Li Mengyang cannot be avoided.

At this time, the most angry person was not Alliance Leader Wang Lao, but Wang Zhideng.

He felt that he was looked down upon again. You, Wang Shizhen, only looked for Wang Daokun, but you didn't even look at him, Wang Zhideng.

I have been looking down on myself like this since twenty years ago!

So Wang Zhideng stood up and forcibly intervened in the conversation: "Wang Fengzhou, as a native of Wu, you don't care about the predecessors of the local literary circle and the contemporary people who interpret strange things, but you only complain about Li Mengyang in Kansai and your fate." advocate!

I thought that Li Mengyang had great merit but little career, his poems were high-pitched but direct in meaning, great in talent but sparse in emotion, correct in style but mediocre in rhythm, and he had more than enough power but not enough skill!

Nowadays, the scholars all over the world are talking about nonsense and gossiping. Isn’t it sad! "

If just now Wang Shizhen and Wang Daokun were discussing matters and arguing about theoretical lines, then Wang Zhideng directly attacked them.

Lin Daguan, who was watching from the side, finally couldn't stand it anymore. Is this the most high-end literary fight in the world?

Adding a few curse words to the mix would mean scolding each other in public, and then he would finally be useful.

As expected, the literary world of the Ming Dynasty would not be able to survive without him, Lin Tailai.

So Lin Daguan stood up, his tall and majestic figure seemed to envelope everyone.

Then I heard Lin Daguan say: "Does Wang Laodeng think that Li Mengyang's works are too artificial, not as peaceful as they are peaceful, imitating profoundly, but not fully integrated, and lacking in human touch?"

All in all, Li Mengyang's level is not good at all, and he is not as good as several seniors from Wuzhong School, such as the Four Great Talents from Jiangnan.

Does Wang Laoden still think that Li Mengyang was able to strengthen the retro faction and become a leader in the literary world just because he was good at forming cliques, and because other people of his generation were worse? "

Everyone: "..."

The best thing you can say is just Li Mengyang.

Also, what is Wang Laodeng’s nickname?

Also, does Lao Dengzi really think so?

Wang Shizhen was not without help. His younger brother Wang Shimao looked at Lin Tailai angrily, and then chose to fight back at Wang Zhideng:

"Recently, there are many people who love the ancient times, especially those who are not knowledgeable. They cannot learn from Li Mengyang's spirit, but love to take risks, pretend to be ugly and frighten fools. They like to make shocking words, but their elegance is dull.

There are many works that like to imitate the retro style. Naturally, the good and the bad are mixed. There are so many fake works that people in the world have misunderstandings! "

Lin Daguan stood up again and added to Wang Zhideng: "Does Leader Wang and his brother think that the reputation of the retro sect has declined because you, the so-called Buyi Mountain people who failed in the imperial examination, are too rubbish?

After all, there are more and more people who claim to be Buyi Mountain people, and the number is huge.

Does Mr. Wang and his brother still feel that the Buyi Mountain people obviously don’t know much about the purpose of retroism, but because of the huge retro trend, they deliberately imitate the ancients for the sake of fame and advancement, and copy them mechanically and spread them widely. Instead, they Retro school getting a bad rap? "

Wang Shimao was stunned, who "felt" like riding a horse?

This map cannon is so big that it directly includes the entire mountain people group.

How could this "uneducated person" as he calls himself become a Buyishan native?

Also, his name is Wang Shimao, not Alliance Leader Wang’s brother!

So after Wang Zhideng, the world's best civilian poet, listened to Lin Daguanren's additional explanation, he became even more angry at Wang Shizhen!

This Wang Shizhen actually didn't even scold him personally, but only used his younger brother Wang Shimao to scold him!

Also, the two Wang brothers who passed the imperial examination and became officials really looked down on me, a commoner from the mountain!

Thinking of this, Wang Zhideng's attitude became more intense and he scolded him directly:

"Wang Fengzhou, you have no control over articles in recent times. In the past twenty or thirty years, who dares to disobey your authority?

The trend of writing poems, plagiarizing and imitating is also indulged by you under the banner of retro, that's why so many people regard it as a shortcut to the south, and the group follows it to flatter you!

Although your disciples and disciples are spread all over the sea, you can only gain fame for a moment, and will eventually be destroyed for all eternity! "

But for some reason, everyone here subconsciously looked at Mr. Lin. Do you have anything to add?

But official Lin said to Wang Zhideng: "Old man, please calm down! Don't be so excited!"

Then he said to Wang Shizhen: "Old leader, please say something!"

Alliance leader Wang Lao said: "I would like to hear Master Wang Taihan's noble opinions."

Wang Daokun secretly cursed Wang Zhideng. He should have started talking by himself just now, but Wang Zhideng jumped out and grabbed the conversation.

Now that the conversation finally came back, Wang Daokun said in a very profound tone: "My writings are born from my heart, and my heart is used by my spirit. If I use my writing to serve my heart, my spirit will be suppressed, and if I use my heart to serve my writing, my spirit will act."

Alliance leader Wang Lao did not respond directly, but turned to Lin Tailai tactfully and asked: "What do you think?"

As a figure who has dominated the literary world for thirty years, he is still very capable.

Official Lin frowned and replied, "Wang Taihan, can you speak to others?"

Wang Daokun glanced at Lin Tailai and said smoothly: "If there are shallow people, it doesn't matter if they don't understand."

Wang Daoguan, the younger brother of the Wang family, heard his brother's words and secretly screamed "Oh no!"

My brother has never seen Lin Tailai show off his power with his own eyes, and has never dealt with Lin Tailai directly. The tone of this sentence is too contemptuous!

Official Lin immediately said loudly: "Wang Taihan, don't you just think that when writing is born from the heart, it should be peaceful and peaceful. Since the heart is the spiritual house, supported by the spirit of the divine king, it can move the crowd and slaughter hundreds of people. Then the official of Qi is almost non-human.

Do you still feel that expressing one’s ambitions is poetry and expressing one’s inner voice? Excellent poetry can only be obtained by those who are dedicated to it. Sitting and forgetting, the mind is united, the official is stopped, but the spirit is moving. His heart is deep and deep, and it comes from the natural environment.

Above, yes or no? Do you think so? "

Wang Daokun: "..."

I don’t want what you think, I want what I feel!

"Who doesn't know how to speak other people's words?" Lin Daguan said proudly at the end.

Everyone was inexplicably surprised. Although Lin Daguan often didn't speak human words, this was the first time that he didn't speak human words like this.

Wang Daokun, who was about to sit down and talk and fight Wang Shizhen for 300 rounds, suddenly fell silent. He felt that if he continued to elaborate, he could not be more inhumane than Lin Tailai.

The old alliance leader Wang smiled slightly and took the opportunity to speak: "The clothes in the house and the advantages of the boat are all created by the ancient saints, and they have been mastered for hundreds of generations. The works of later saints cannot be changed."

Therefore, the discussion must be called the previous king, and the making of utensils must be based on rail objects. It is said that the ancients created the law and have been their teachers for hundreds of generations. You cannot learn from the minds of the teachers and still learn from the ancients first. "

Wang Daokun just said why we need to learn from the heart, and Wang Shizhen said why we need to learn from the ancients.

I have to say that it makes sense for Wang Shizhen to be the leader of the literary world. This theory is explained in simple and simple terms, very easy to understand, and its dissemination is much better than Wang Daokun's human words.

Wang Daokun was still sinking into the sadness of not being as good as Wu Zhuangyuan if he didn't speak human words, and he forgot to respond to the old leader Wang.

His younger brother Wang Daoguan quickly used a move to "repay the favor" and asked Lin Tailai: "What do you think of what Fengzhou said?"

Official Lin turned around and faced Wang Shizhen: "Old leader, your work is so rough that I can't even stand it.

If you want me to help you summarize it, it only takes one sentence. Do you think that the ancients got my heart first, and learning from the ancients is the heart of the teacher? "

Alliance Leader Wang also fell into silence for a moment. A long paragraph of his own words was far less subtle than Lin Tailai's sentence "The ancients first gained my heart, and learning from the ancients is the teacher's heart"!

Everyone: "."

The biggest doubt today is, where are you, Lin Tailai, from?

In order to protect his brother, Wang Shimao had to stand up and work hard to smooth things over: "The teacher's heart is outward to teach others, but the teacher's heart is to learn from himself inwardly. It is said that there is no intention to learn from the ancients, but there is success in the teacher's heart.

My brother once said that when you are full of energy and speak fluently, you can speak with your own talent, stop with your own style, and speak with ambiguity, which is the best in the world. "

What does it mean to "exercise your own talent and stop it from your own practice"? At this time, most people really couldn't understand, and they all turned to look at the old leader Wang.

Alliance leader Wang Lao gave an explanation that lived up to expectations: "The so-called coming out of one's own talent and stopping one's own style means that we need both the normative consciousness of the Style School and the emphasis on spontaneity and spontaneity.

Finally, a poetic expression method is achieved that does not reveal the path or traces of imitation. "

Everyone suddenly realized that this theory sounded perfect. It could integrate the teacher's heart and teacher's past, style and nature. Could this be the latest literary thought of Mr. Wang?

While everyone was trying to figure it out, Wang Zhideng suddenly laughed "hahahaha" several times, disrupting others' thinking.

Then I heard Wang Zhideng say: "It suddenly sounds reasonable, but if you think about it carefully, you will find that under the surface perfection, it is impossible to be self-consistent!

Using talent and thinking under the premise of the existence of stipulated style is equivalent to dancing with shackles. It is not impossible to form, but it is difficult to truly achieve the state of God and state, and the forgetfulness of things and myself. On the contrary, it is easy to focus on one thing and lose all charm! "

Wang Shizhen said unceremoniously: "Your abilities, Wang Baigu, are limited and you can't do it!"

Finally being directly named by leader Wang Lao, Wang Zhideng counterattacked directly: "Rather than saying that you have a new enlightenment, it is better to say that it is the product of your reluctant integration of the two concepts of teacher's heart and teacher's ancient, style and nature!

This is so difficult, I don’t think even Wang Fengzhou can do it yourself! It can even be said that no one in the world can do it! "

Pingshan Hall fell into silence again. Everyone asked themselves, indeed they couldn't do it.

This theory is just an ideal perfect model, but it is unrealistic and more like a fantasy.

At this time, Lin Daguan's figure suddenly enveloped everyone again, and he said with a playful smile:

"I feel that if I can do it, I may be the only one in the world who can do it. Except for me, no one else here can do it."

This is the first time Lin Daguan said "I think" today.

This chapter was so difficult to write. I wrote it for two days and lost a handful of hair! This kind of content is really thankless, so I’d better write less in the future.
