The Rise of the European Emperor

However, in ancient times, especially in the Ming Dynasty when literati were in power, it was not easy for Marin to meet those famous female branches of the Qing Dynasty. These famous female branches of Qinglou are all very arrogant. It's not that if you have money, you can make them bow down.

Generally speaking, in order to win the favor of these famous female branches of the Qing Dynasty, not only must you have strong financial resources, but you also need to have a certain amount of talent. Otherwise, these famous female branches of the Qing Dynasty will not care about you at all.

Of course, if you have the talent of Su Dongpo, then don't talk about money, just talk about literature. Moreover, there will be a large number of famous women who will post upside down, "self-recommended pillow seats". Even though Su Dongpo was in his seventies and eighties, at that time there were a lot of famous women who were willing to take the initiative to pay back.

why? Because Su Dongpo can help them write poems that are famous all over the world...

The famous female branches in ancient times can't sing modern popular songs, but they can play and sing some excellent poems with guzheng or pipa according to the name of Cipai or Qupai.

If a literati is very talented and can write a beautiful poem specifically for a famous female branch of the Qing Dynasty, then the famous female branch is likely to post backwards.

Why is this? Because a famous poem dedicated to a famous girl branch of the Qing Dynasty can instantly make an unknown artist girl branch famous all over the world.

This is like a popular song in later generations, a small 18th-line artist, because he got an incomparably classic song, became famous when he sang it, became popular all over the country, and became a big star...

In the same way, as long as a certain talented person writes a masterpiece for a certain famous female branch that can be sung all over the world, the value of this famous female branch will immediately skyrocket. From the 18th line to the first and second line, the appearance fee will also skyrocket...

Therefore, while those famous female branches of the Qing Dynasty were dealing with those rich sons and gentlemen, they also especially favored those great talents who wrote very good poems, hoping that they could get a famous work so that their value would skyrocket.

In such an environment, ancient poets were very popular. As long as you are talented enough, there will be famous girls who will pay you back, and you can sleep with the top famous girls without spending money. If you don't have enough talent and want to meet famous girls? Yes, the starting price of small coffee is a few hundred taels, and the starting price of oiran-level big coffee is tens of thousands of taels...

What's more, these famous female branches of the Qing Dynasty not only slept with them for free, but also took the initiative to wave silver tickets, begging those great poets to help them write poems and lyrics, in order to get their own exclusive "famous song".

Under this kind of environment, the ancient poets still did well and produced excellent works frequently...

But in modern times, because the imported Western poems cannot be sung directly at all. Therefore, poets are naturally not sought after. Except for Wen Qing, a brain-damaged woman, fools would pay attention to those abnormal modern poets.

Necessity is the mother of invention, and the famous female branches (stars) of later generations will not need those modern poets. Therefore, in later generations, those poets were naturally poor and starved to death.

As a result, those poets who claim to be talented still blame the public for not appreciating it, but in fact, it is not the public that is to blame, but the predecessors of the "New Culture Movement"...

During the "New Culture Movement", those so-called cultural pioneers forcibly separated poetry and songs into two independent parts.

This is actually a very stupid approach, which not only ruins the poem, but also ruins the song.

You know, in traditional culture, poetry is not divided. Poetry Poetry, what can't be sung can be called poetry?

Because those so-called cultural pioneers have gone astray, the world of poetry and song has been greatly affected.

The new poems cannot be sung, and naturally it is impossible to "sing to the world" again. I only see some Wen Qing patients standing there and reciting "ah", "ah", "ah"...or "ah"...

And the separation of the song world and the poetry world has made the creation of modern songs less and less standard. Most of them are saliva songs, or rubbish that can't be put on the stage. There are tens of thousands of song lyrics every year, and it is thankful that one percent of the song lyrics are "slightly literary".

Then, a group of idiots who couldn't even write the lyrics smoothly, with long hair, called themselves "artists", and blamed the public for not understanding their so-called "art"...

In fact, when poetry and songs are separated, songs are destined to be difficult to be called art. In other words, the artistic value fell to the ground. Without lyrics as beautiful as poetry, everyone can only listen to a song. There is no need to memorize the lyrics, because they are all filled in blindly...Anyway, just put on headphones and beat the rhythm with the rhythm, and forget it after listening, because there is no value in memorizing...

A wrong poetic reform starves poets and ruins songs. Poetry has been separated since then, and there is no art anymore...

Of course, it's not that there are no good songs. It's just that the proportion is too low. For a good song, the lyrics are often very beautiful, comparable to poetry, or poetry. However, most of the so-called "talented scholars" in the circle are equivalent to literary illiterates. So, we suffer from a lot of bad songs of poor quality every year. Only a few very talented people can write classic songs.

...

Of course, those are modern things. In ancient times, poetry was all together, and those problems did not exist. The only problem seems to be that the level of arrangement is a bit low...

It is no wonder that in ancient times, the status of instrumental music was very low, and it has always been a vassal of vocal music. The status is low, so naturally there is no development.

Until modern times, with the rise of the status of instrumental music, many talents paid attention to the research of musical instruments and tunes, which greatly improved the ability to arrange music.

But compared with ancient times, people's ability to arrange music has been greatly improved, but their ability to write lyrics has been greatly regressed. This is a kind of sadness... Therefore, modern songs mainly listen to the music and lyrics. Lack of good lyricists...

...

With a few bottles of perfume, Ma Lin came to the famous Qinglou Qunfang Pavilion in the capital, and wanted to find Li Qinger, the top brand of Qunfang Pavilion, to help promote it.

The reason why he was looking for this Li Qing'er was not that Li Qing'er was the most famous in the capital. It's because this Li Qing'er is very obsessed with the smell of roses, and likes to sprinkle rose petals in the bath, so that she smells like roses on purpose.

Therefore, Malin came here specifically to sell rose-scented perfume to Li Qinger. There is this famous woman who likes the scent of roses to spend a lot of money to help promote it, it will definitely get twice the result with half the effort. Moreover, this Li Qing'er's reputation in the capital is also great.

...

However, after Marin came to Qunfang Pavilion, he encountered difficulties...

After paying the "entrance fee" of five hundred taels of silver, Li Qing'er, the top player in Qunfang Pavilion, refused to receive Ma Lin, a "fan ghost"...

People of the Ming Dynasty had serious nationalism. Except for the Han people, people of other races had no status in the Ming Dynasty. Ordinary people may look at the face of Marin, the lord of the vassal state, and make a fool of himself. However, these top cards in the capital are usually used to seeing princes and ministers, and some of them are stinky feet...

Therefore, these top players in the capital often have a high vision. Even if Marin was the lord of Fanbang, Li Qing'er would not give face. She made a request——to write a poem on the spot by Marin, and only then would she agree to meet Marin...

...

Marin suddenly became angry—the little watch was smashed, and he actually looked down on Lao Tzu...Looking at Lao Tzu's big moves...

What's the big move? Of course it's poetry...
