Chapter 049: No One Can Laugh at Me!
"What did he say? "Qingming" was not written by Du Mu?"
"Crazy, right? The people of the whole country know that this poem is Du Mu's!"
"My three-year-old son just memorized this poem yesterday, this poem is definitely a work that is well known to women and children like 'hoeing the day of the afternoon', how can it not be Du Mu's work?"
"I admit that Li Yiru's brain is invincible, but good intelligence does not mean that he is knowledgeable, and being able to memorize poems does not mean that he really understands poetry!"
"It's outrageous to say that this poem wasn't written by Du Mu, if it wasn't written by Du Mu, how could the textbook be named Du Mu?"
"That's right, can the textbooks shared by students all over the country be wrong? Since my father was in elementary school, this poem is Du Mu's!"
......
The studio hall was full of doubtful voices, and if it was replaced by someone else, it might be panicked, but Li Yiru was peaceful.
However, he was a little curious, in his previous life, the poem "Qingming" was very controversial in the academic world, and many academic bulls thought that it was basically not Du Mu's work, but it was not completely absolute.
Because it's extremely difficult to falsify, first of all, it's old, and secondly, you can't get the deceased to speak. Therefore, there is basically no absolute thing in the matter of evidence, but it can only be said that the existing data can be used to analyze and calculate the probability of whether something is correct or not.
The controversy over the poem "Qingming" was no stranger to people who were engaged in the study of ancient poetry in the previous life, but looking at the current scene, it seems that most of the contestants present did not know about it.
Among the top 16 contestants, five are top students in ancient literature, except for Dong Jinfu, the remaining four are in a state of confusion.
Perhaps, there are relatively few scholars in this life who focus on research?
When Li Yiru was thinking, his mentor Wang Yuchun suddenly lifted the microphone: "Li Yiru, Du Mu's "Qingming" is known to women and children, every primary school student can recite it, in the academic world, we have never heard of the controversy of the poem "Qingming", why do you think it is not Du Mu's work?"
Li Yiru was depressed when he saw Wang Yuchun, and after the end of the last episode, in the exchange with Fenglinwan, Li Yiru knew that he had been tricked.
In the last episode, Li Yiru and Wang Yuchun argued about the issue of "mountains without edges", and the two had their own opinions, and when he won Wang Yuchun's argument, Wang Yuchun came to the sentence "Sure enough, I didn't pass the test" to end the debate.
Li Yiru "suddenly realized" at that time, it turned out that the mentor was guiding and assessing himself through arguments. If it weren't for Ouyang and Feng Lin's late talk, he would definitely not know that it was probably Wang Yuchun's routine again. Wang Yuchun, if she finds that her remarks are wrong, she will always excuse herself in a similar way, and she must do her best to maintain her image as a scholar.
Li Yiru, who thought that this mentor was good one second, felt that she was so hypocritical the next second, just like many experts and scholars she had met!
How can there be such a thing, arguing but finding out that he is wrong, he generously admits it, but he doesn't admit to playing routines, what's the matter, treat him Li Yiru as a monkey?
When did Li Yiru suffer a loss, especially this kind of secret loss! Obviously, I seriously discussed with you academically, but you just said that I am actually evaluating you in this way, what about playing?
I'm the kind of big-hearted ...... Am I the kind of person who is afraid of authority?
However, Li Yiru still smiled: "I said that "Qingming" is not Du Mu's work, there is a certain basis. β
Wang Yuchun: "What is the basis?"
"Du Mu's earliest anthology is "Fan Chuan Anthology", which was compiled by Du Mu's nephew Pei Yanhan, but this poem is not included in this anthology.
After the late Tang Dynasty, when he came to the Northern Song Dynasty, Tian compiled "Fan Chuan Separate Collection" and "Fan Chuan Outer Collection", and there was no poem "Qingming".
The earliest source of the poem "Qingming" that can be found now comes from the book "Splendid Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers" compiled during the period of Xiaozong of the Southern Song Dynasty. The book "Later Collection" recorded "Qingming", a small note "out of Tang poems", but neither signed Du Mu's name, nor 'Qingming' title.
This is 336 years after Du Mu's death, the unsigned and untitled poem "Qingming" appears for the first time in the materials available today.
Do you understand the concept?"
The audience whispered:
"According to Li Yiru's meaning, when the poem "Qingming" appeared in the Southern Song Dynasty, it was an anonymous poem without an author, and no one thought it was Du Mu's work at that time?"
"In 336, if this poem has been circulating, if Du Mu's has long been known to the world, how can it be unknown? β
"There is another possibility, is this poem Du Mu 336 years after his death to reappear in the light of day? The normal circulation of Du Mu's poems is impossible to be so low-key, unless buried in the ground and archaeologically excavated, or hidden in the mezzanine of the wall of the old house, and later generations occasionally take it out to see, hey, "Qingming"!"
"No, take it out and take a look, hey, the Forty-Two Chapters Sutra!"
"Grass, it's still a special "Sunflower Treasure Book"!"
"If you really take out the "Sunflower Book", you won't be able to get the previous verb. β
......
Li Yiru said at this time: "Some viewers think that this must have been unearthed in later generations, but why didn't it be signed by Du Mu when it was unearthed in later generations, and there is no problem of being unearthed in later generations."
In the information that can be checked now, this poem really appears with the title of "Qingming" signed by Du Mu, which is from Liu Kezhuang of the Southern Song Dynasty.
The famous "Quantang Poems" compiled during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty included many poems of Du Mu, but did not include the influential "Qingming", why is this?
Is it because the fame of "Qingming" is not big enough? But "Qingming" has been widely influenced after the Song Dynasty, and if it is really Du Mu's work, it is impossible not to include it in the book, which shows that the Qing people have thought that the author of "Qingming" is not Du Mu. β
Wang Yuchun frowned: "You ignored one point, during the Qing Dynasty, the word 'Qingming' was to be avoided, so I think it makes sense that "All Tang Poems" does not include this one." β
The audience nodded their heads:
"That's right, after all, the word wΓ©n yΓΉ must be avoided!"
"It's still a mentor, and he hits the nail on the head!"
"It makes sense, the mentor has a point!"
......
Li Yiru smiled: "
It was only after the Qingming Dynasty that the sky was over, and the warbler's throat was getting old and the willows were flying. Written by a poet of the Qing Dynasty.
Apricot blossom drizzle Qingming Festival, reminiscing about the past will be extinct. Written by a poet of the Qing Dynasty.
Relying on the willows near Qingming, the smoke and rain at the beginning of the fire ban are clear. Written by a poet of the Qing Dynasty.
......β
Wang Yuchun was so choked that he couldn't say a word.
Li Yiru continued: "Combing through the entire context, it can be seen that there is insufficient evidence for this poem to be called Du Mu's work, and it is not enough to close the coffin with Liu Kezhuang's 'hand-picking' more than 300 years later, and Liu Kezhuang's works are full of errors and will not be repeated.
Therefore, in a high probability, there is no doubt that "Qingming" is a forgery. β
Wang Yuchun, as a famous female writer, although the foundation of Chinese culture is average, but very smart, when she saw Li Yiru clearly quoting scriptures and classics, and her mind was calm and eloquent, she knew that even if Li Yiru was wrong, then Li Yiru's understanding of the poem "Qingming" must be far stronger than herself.
So she suddenly put on a smiling face, nodded very satisfied, and said with relief: "Well, I'm very happy, although Yiru is young, it is not easy to have this kind of knowledge, just like Yu Lao said, we are not as good as you at your age!"
Yu Ruoyun lowered her head and pursed her lips, saying in her heart that this mother-in-law is really hypocritical!
But Wang Yuchun's hypocrisy can't be seen by the public, only those who are very familiar with her slowly realize it after experiencing more things together.
Just like some celebrities, you have the feeling of a mountain when you first meet you, but you have more contact with it...... Damn!
is as smart as Li Yiru, if no one tells him, he doesn't think there is anything wrong with Wang Yuchun, after all, there is too little contact.
At this time, Dong Jinfu in the audience, the corners of his mouth were about to reach his ears, his face was full of disgust, after all, he was a veteran of the Four Realms, and he was too familiar with everything here.
Wang Yuchun asked very kindly: "Then I will test you again, then who do you think is the author of the poem "Qingming"?"
"It's hard to say, it may be Xu Hun, this poet is also from the late Tang Dynasty, overlapping with Du Mu's era, he is 12 years older than Du Mu, his poems and Du Mu have similar styles, and moreover, when later generations edited Du Mu's poetry collection, a lot of Xu Hun's poems were mistakenly compiled.
Xu Hun may not know it, but he is also a very talented poet, there is a poem that everyone must have heard, at least the second half of the sentence - 'The sun sinks at the beginning of the stream, and the mountain rain is about to come and the wind is full of buildings', this sentence comes from Xu Hun's poems.
Of course, some scholars believe that "Qingming" may be the work of the Northern Song Dynasty poet Song Qi, so "Qingming" has become a Song poem.
As for who the author of this "Qingming" is, it is impossible to determine from the temporary information, but the probability of it coming from Du Mu is very small!"
Wang Yuchun saw Yu Ruoyun's admiration and approval, so she took the lead in applauding: "Great, it's not easy for young people to have this level!"
The audience applauded, and they didn't know if what Li Yiru said was right, but when they saw that the mentor applauded, Li Yiru was right, so they also applauded!
"Amazing, this is knowledge, this is culture. β
"I only thought that Li Yiru was a poetry memorization machine, but I only thought that he could only memorize poems! β
"Wang Yuchun said that he was not as good as Li Yiru when he was young, so Li Yiru's knowledge level will improve and progress, and there is hope that he will surpass Wang Yuchun in the future!"
The reporters in the audience frantically pressed the shutter, this is another explosive news, the genius of Chinese studies judged that the author of "Qingming" is not Du Mu, such news is destined to be a screen-like existence!
The applause stopped, and Liu Yiyi smiled: "What other forgeries do you know in the poems?"
Among the hundreds of thousands of poems, there are countless forgeries, such as Zhang Xu's "Peach Blossom Spring". β
......
"Another example is the fake work of "Qingcao Lake in Longyang County", ......"
......
"Another example is the ...... of fakes"
......
Li Yiru suddenly cleared his throat: "I think we should continue to record the show, so I have a poem to emphasize, about the poem "Will Enter the Wine"-" Li Yiru said that he suddenly paused.
At the moment when the audience was extremely surprised, Li Yiru suddenly looked at Wang Yuchun.
Seeing Li Yiru's eyes coming, Wang Yuchun was also secretly surprised, and she hurriedly said: "Li Yiru, let's talk about this forgery." β
"It's not a forgery, it's one of my favorite poems. β
Wang Yuchun: "Huh?"
Li Yiru turned his head to look at the contestants: "I am here to give this poem to all the contestants, life must be happy, don't make the gold bottle empty to the moon." I'll treat you to a banquet another day, our friendship comes first, competition comes second, and may our friendship last forever!"
Wang Yuchun: "......"
"Poof!" Yu Ruoyun really couldn't hold back, he vaguely felt that this kid was doing it on purpose.
