The Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

Chapter 1494 Four questions about the Lumen Army!

In an instant, the banquet became extremely lively. Three songs came out at the same time, one more exciting than the other. Each song seemed to tell the story between Zhang Longxiang, Lu Menhou and even the King of Chu, arousing the interest of everyone present.

"This son, Zhang Longxiang, has been in prison for ten years. It's a blessing in disguise."

"Just looking at the three poems, this person doesn't seem to be a traitor."

"A few days ago, I heard from a friend in Jingzhou that he taught his children well, and the dean of Zhurong Academy personally wrote his biography. I just thought it was a joke. After listening to three poems today, I know that Long Xiang is a great talent."

“If you accumulate a lot of time, you can polish a brick into a mirror. Ten years of hard work are not in vain.”

"But...his third poem was too cruel. He pointed at Marquis Lumen's nose and scolded him for not caring about the lives and lives of the soldiers. What did the soldiers think?"

"I suspect Zhang Longxiang has been brewing these three poems for many years. The connection between these three poems is really wonderful. The first one is a wake-up call, 'When will the singing and dancing in the East River stop?', which goes straight to the point and points directly to the shortcomings of the Lumen Army, which arouses everyone's attention. accusation. But the next "Second Question" "Lumen Army", he sealed everyone's mouths with the sentence "I dare not forget about the country because of my humble position". At this time, everyone was completely convinced by him. After all, he is a Marquis of Zhujiang and a Hanlin. Even civilians can discuss state affairs. He is a dignified Marquis of Zhujiang. What does it mean to sarcastically refer to Ganzhou as Liuzhou?"

Another person continued: "The wonderful thing is that he persuaded me by saying that he was too humble to worry about the country, and then inserted his own affairs into it, asking us to make a final decision in the future. Since we believed him before One sentence, naturally there will be some recognition of the latter sentence. In "Two Titles of Lumen Army", he first wrote that he was sick, weak and lonely, and then wrote that he hoped that the saints would protect him and the king would be restored to his land. pity."

"As for "Three Titles on the Lumen Army", it echoes the first one. It points to one person in the Marquis of Lumen. This is the general. On the contrary, it makes people admire his courage. That 'one general can make thousands of bones dry' is really embarrassing. It is a rare and beautiful sentence, full of sadness and tragedy. I don’t know how Lumenhou would respond to this kind of three-poem question. If it were me, I would just remain silent.”

"However, Zhang Longxiang's three poems are too radical and far from the holy way of Confucianism. I am afraid they will be criticized by scholars."

"Indeed, these three poems are contrary to the gentleman's golden mean and are ultimately flawed."

"The old man who is a poetry geek also mentioned the flaws in the poem before, so it takes several years of circulation before he can be promoted to the state."

"If it were just like this, Kong Sheng's literary world would still not be able to compare with Shengyuan Continent. Even if it is not compared with Fang Xu Sheng, it would still be slightly behind the celebrities who dominate with their poetry."

"Perhaps in a few years, his state of mind will gradually calm down and he can let go of gains and losses before he can take a further step."

"But, does he still have time?"

For a time, Ganzhou literati sighed, knowing that if a miracle did not happen, Zhang Longxiang would definitely die young.

Suddenly, Marquis Lumen sighed: "What a pity. Zhang Longxiang could have become a great talent, but he was full of complaints and hatred in his eyes, making the artistic conception of the three poems not as good as the other. So what if there are good lines?" So what if you are angry? If you lose your artistic conception, you will just take a wrong approach and lose your integrity.”

Wei Changxian immediately said: "What Lumenhou said is absolutely true. Looking at the three poems, there is more than enough extreme but not enough rightness, more than enough anger but not enough passion, more than enough hard words but not enough softness. The three poems are good poems, but they are just good ones. It’s just a good poem, it can only be regarded as a bizarre income. Born by coincidence, a true master of poetry must be able to express himself freely. Zhang Longxiang's poems are unrestrained and unrestrained, but as Lu Menhou said, the sword goes astray and cannot be controlled. It's a pity that the three poems are lonely and angry like a defeated dog. , An has the ambition to become a prince?"

The readers present immediately recalled three poems.

"Old man who is a poet, what do you think?" asked the governor of Ganzhou.

The old man who was crazy about poetry shook his head gently and said: "I don't want to admit it, but I have to say that Marquis Lumen has a sharp eye. If we just talk about each poem, there is no flaw. One poem is heaven and earth, and one word is the universe. "Inscribed on Lumen Army" " is meant to be a satire, "The Second Title of the Lumen Army" is meant to be sad and indignant, and "The Third Title of the Lumen Army" is meant to be allegorical. Just to criticize, poems are like swords, how can we compare them with swords and guns? But if we use three poems to judge the author, we still have a long way to go. However, Zhujiang Hou has just been released from prison, and his heart is filled with grief and anger. It is understandable that in three to five years, after further polishing, he will definitely become a great poet."

Although many people feel sorry, they also nod lightly. Everything is too much, and the same is true for poetry. Even a great poet, if he only complains every day, criticizes others every day, does not know how to strengthen his ambitions, and has no ambitions and great achievements, then he is a poor person. The evaluation received may drop sharply.

For all the famous poets, their poems contain not only romance, sorrow and anger, not only complaints, but also the upward power that can infect people's hearts.

The prefect of Ganzhou said: "Comparing our feelings, if we were imprisoned for ten years, we would only be able to occupy the first two words of the poem of grief and anger."

Everyone chuckled.

Wei Changxian breathed a long sigh of relief, and finally knocked down Zhang Longxiang's arrogance, so he smiled and said: "It's getting late, the banquet is over, I..."

""Midnight Song*4 Titles of Lumen Army"!"

The same sound spread throughout Ganzhou City for the fourth time. Wei Changxian couldn't control it anymore and slammed the table, causing the cups and plates to tremble.

"It's never over!" Wei Changxian shouted.

However, his voice did not suppress the tongue-splitting spring thunder behind it.

"Under the clear river water at Yugu Terrace, how many passersby shed tears in the middle?

Looking northwest to Chang'an, one can see countless mountains.

The green mountains cannot cover it, and it will flow eastward after all.

When Jiang was feeling sad at night, he heard partridges deep in the mountains. "

Yugutai is located in Ganzhou, and there is a Qingjiang River flowing beside it. When the first sentence sounded, the people of Ganjiang present were immediately attracted.

The banquet was quiet, and many scholars were shocked. Many people had just criticized Zhang Longxiang for being extreme, but this poem shattered all the criticisms.

The old man who was obsessed with poetry laughed heartily and said, "Hahaha... I am short-sighted! Even though the first three poems are good, the method of metaphor in this poem can be said to be the best in the world, and it has deeply mastered the "Book of Songs". Once this poem is out, few people will dare to try the "Zi Ye Ge" ci tune!"

The prefect of Ganzhou slapped his thigh and said, "This official is even more short-sighted. After hearing this poem, I only felt that the emotion of "Looking northwest to Chang'an, pitiful countless mountains" was deep and touching, and the artistic conception ranked first among the four poems, with emotion and scenery connected, but after listening to the words of the old man who was obsessed with poetry, I suddenly realized it. "Book of Songs" 》There are three forms of poetry: Feng, Ya and Song, and three expression methods: Fu, Bi and Xing. Although this poem does not have the irony of "taking Ganzhou as Liuzhou", the grief of "not forgetting the country in a low position", and the tragic grandeur of "one general's success means thousands of bones are withered", if you look closely, this poem is divided into four major sentences, each sentence has a scene, and each sentence has Bixing! The unique technique, harmonious scene and profound artistic conception of this poem are rare in the world! "

Fu is to lay out parallelism, Bi is a metaphor and analogy, and Xing is to express emotions through objects.

Everyone picked up the pen to write, and some people even pushed the cups and plates to the ground, leaned over to write poems, and wanted to analyze the poems in detail.

Everyone wrote and commented at the same time, and the whole banquet was extremely noisy.
