Seeing that Jiang Shuiyuan finished reading his poems, Wu Zichen asked with a look of hope: "How about the boss, what do you think?"

Jiang Shuiyuan pondered for a moment and then replied: "I have never written poetry, nor have I read much poetry, so it stands to reason that I should not have any ability to appreciate poetry." It's just that if you have to ask me to give my opinion, then I will tell you about my personal knowledge of poetry. I think the poetry in the world should be divided into four categories according to the poor to the good, the first category is to decorate the ugly, that is, the language is vulgar and there is nothing brilliant, and the ideas to be expressed are also indifferent, such as the pear blossom body seen in daily life, smooth mouth, limerick poems, etc. The second type is to decorate the ugliness with hardship and profundity, that is, the language has become very elegant and tame, and it has begun to have some poetic appearances, but the foundation inside is still ordinary. In ancient times, it was said that 'if you are familiar with 300 Tang poems, you will not be able to compose poems', and the so-called 'Xu' is actually talking about this kind of illusory showcase.

"The third type is to decorate the hardship with the deep, the poems written at this time already have the appearance of poetry, and the connotation is also worth the reader's chewing aftertaste, but if you want to talk about the shortcomings, that is, the meaning of the poem is too strong, the deliberate pursuit of novelty, has begun to go crazy, there is always a little bit of deliberate poetry taste, and even for the sake of writing poetry and no disease**. In fact, many poets in ancient times were like this, but if you put it to the present, such poets can be regarded as grandmasters.

"The fourth category is to decorate the ugliness with difficulty, that is, the spiritual connotation of the poem has been greatly enriched, and all kinds of language can be used to express the author's emotions as he likes, giving people the feeling of 'rough clothes and messy heads'. At this time, we will return to the basics and choose to express the most profound and rich connotations in the most simple and popular language. For example, the ancients said that "Li Du's poems are passed down by ten thousand mouths", "the old woman can understand", and "wherever there is a well water drinking place, you can sing willow words", the intention is to explain that good poems are easy to understand but deeply moving. ”

Wu Zichen hurriedly asked, "Boss, what category does my poem belong to?"

"What do you think?"

Wu Zichen immediately became depressed: "The first type ......"

Jiang Shuiyuan hurriedly comforted Wu Zichen and said: "Actually, you don't have to be too discouraged, after all, you have just started to write poetry, you must know that there are few people who write poetry, and most of them are trying to work hard from the first category to the second category when they are in their teens, and then they stay in the second category all their lives. As for the people who write poems in Huai'an Mansion, it is even rarer, and it is very rare that you can write like this!"

"Really, you mean, the poems I wrote are pretty good?" Wu Zichen immediately came to life.

"It's also a short man who picks a general!" Jiang Shuiyuan said truthfully: "If you really want to keep improving, I think it's best for you to read "Three Hundred Tang Poems" carefully, see how others write poems, learn the tone and words in it, and take out the momentum of writing poems out of ten, so as to ensure that you can go further." ”

Wu Zichen's eyes rolled, and he smiled: "Boss, if you were to write this topic, how would you write it?"

Jiang Shuiyuan shook his head: "As I said just now, I have never written poetry, and I can't write poetry, especially modern poetry. ”

"Try it! There will always be a first time in everything, although it may be a little painful, but how do you know if you like it if you don't try?" Wu Zichen said a little obscenely.

Jiang Shuiyuan glanced at him, then pondered for a moment and replied: "Because I recently briefly read the "Detailed Analysis of Three Hundred Tang Poems", if you want me to write it, I will try to use the ancient poems in five words to translate your poems. The color is slightly the same as the fan, and the fragrance is better than the rose. Although Da Qin Zhu is good, it is also devastating. Suddenly invisible, insignificant. Carrying the mountains and the sea, it is even more difficult for the eight horses to chase. Shaohua is getting farther and farther away, and the thought is sad. Suddenly looking back, Wan'er was in his heart. ”

Wu Zichen suddenly looked full of admiration: "The so-called seven-step poetry of the ancients seems to be just ordinary now. Boss, you've only walked a few steps, and as a result, an ancient five-character poem was easily written. If it weren't for what my little brother had seen and heard with his own eyes, he would have thought that this poem was written by the ancients! Boss, you are so powerful, please take my knees!"

Jiang Shuiyuan didn't care about this: "It looks good, it sounds good, but in fact, the content is still the content you just wrote, but I borrowed their tone and rhetoric from "Three Hundred Tang Poems" to repaint and decorate your poems, that's all." The second type of poetry I just mentioned, 'decorating the ugly with difficulty', is probably like this, and there is not much technical content. If you want to learn, you only need to read and recite "Three Hundred Tang Poems" by heart, and then figure it out carefully, and you will soon be presentable!"

Reciting 300 Tang poems is ten days and half a month's work for Jiang Shuiyuan, who has an extraordinary memory, but for an ordinary person like Wu Zichen, it is a huge project, and it is difficult to complete it in a few months.

Wu Zichen salivated and said: "Boss, now the younger brother urgently needs an article to make an errand, but I'm afraid that I don't have so much time to carefully ponder "Three Hundred Tang Poems". Why don't you copy the poem you just read to your younger brother and let him fool this matter for the time being?"

Jiang Shuiyuan has no awareness of intellectual property rights: "Anyway, the content was written by you, I'm just a pastemaker, you can take it out if you want!"

"Thank you, boss! The younger brother really has nothing to repay, but after going back, he will set up an immortal tablet for you, kowtow three times in the morning and dusk, and a stick of incense in the morning and evening, in order to express his gratitude!" Wu Zichen saw that Jiang Shuiyuan was willing to fulfill his own good deeds, and immediately became completely undisciplined.

After the third class in the afternoon, Wu Zichen took the two poems he had re-copied and went straight to the Jinyu Literature Club with confidence.

After knocking on the office door, he respectfully handed over the manuscript: "Senior sister, I am Wu Zichen in the first and second classes of high school, and you assigned me a topic when I came to register yesterday afternoon. Now, according to the requirements, hand in the written article and ask you to review it!"

The girl looked quite beautiful, Wen Yan took the manuscript paper, and first roughly read the modern poems written by Wu Zichen himself, I don't know if it was the habitual actions when reading or the dissatisfaction with Wu Zichen's crooked poems, her eyebrows wrinkled slightly, which made Wu Zichen tremble. Then she turned to the second page of the manuscript paper, her brow furrowed even tighter: "Ancient style poetry?"

It's no wonder that this girl frowned, the topic of "Ah, Youth" is most suitable for writing poetry (of course, modern poetry), prose, if you feel that you are superior in strength and pen strength, you can also write novels and dramas, but the most unsuitable for the genre of ancient poetry. Do you think, the title is "Ah, Youth", but the text below is a five-character ancient poem, what is the difference between this and wearing a baseball cap on your head and wearing Hanfu on your body?

Wu Zichen hurriedly explained: "That's the case, I like to read Tang poetry since I was a child, and I am more familiar with ancient poetry, while modern poetry is relatively less. After getting the title this time, I first wrote a modern poem, and I didn't feel very satisfied, so I wrote a new ancient style poem according to the content, and asked my sister to criticize it more!"

The girl watched it from beginning to end, then turned her head and shouted, "President Zhang, please come out!"

"What's the matter, Xiao Jing?" the man's voice came from the office, "I'm busy!

Xiao Jing frowned and shouted: "It's a freshman in high school who wrote an ancient style poem, I can't get it for sure, I want to invite you to come out and take a look!"

"What are those little kids making a fuss about! Before you know all the words, you dare to write ancient style poems, do you know what the rhyme is with the four tones and eight illnesses and the rhyme?" A man with messy hair came out of the room while speaking, and muttered as he walked: "If the writing doesn't make sense, or if I find out where I copied it, this guy will definitely die!" Xiao Jing, bring the manuscript over and I'll take a look. ”

Xiao Jing hurriedly got up and handed him the manuscript, and he commented while reading: "The first sentence 'when the youth was young' seems to come from Liu Yuxi's "Xie Temple Double Cypress" 'The everbright lamp is the flame of the former dynasty, and it once illuminated the youth when he was young', since I know this Tang poem, it seems that I have read a little book, and it shouldn't be too nonsense." Zai, open, rose, destroy, guess, chase, mourn, Taiwan, all rhyme with the ten gray rhymes of Shangping, there is no heavy rhyme and no rhyme, it seems that the person who wrote the poem really put some thought into it, and it is worth reading. Then he read it carefully.

After a while, President Zhang suddenly raised his head and stared at Wu Zichen and asked, "You wrote this poem?"

"Ah, yes, what's wrong?" Although Wu Zichen agreed simply, his heart was boneless. After all, that poem was not written by himself after all, how dare the stolen gong be struck with confidence?

President Zhang was puzzled and said: "It's really strange! This poem uses words and sentence style and tone like a family member, at least he is also familiar with Tang poetry, but the meaning is like two yellow orioles singing green willows - I don't know what to do, it feels like a size 34 foot wearing a size 42 shoe, which is completely incompatible!

Xiao Jing hurriedly explained: "That's the case, president, yesterday this junior came to the interview, and I gave him a title called "Ah, Youth", with no limit on the genre and number of words, let him go back and play freely. This afternoon, he handed it over, and it is said that he had written a modern poem first, and he was not very satisfied, so he rewrote this ancient style poem according to the content. Oh, that's his modern poem!"

After reading the modern poem written by Wu Zichen himself, President Zhang was even more suspicious: According to common sense, it is speculated that people who write such ancient poems should not write modern poems so roughly, and it should be difficult for people who write such modern poems to write such elegant ancient poems. After a little silence, President Zhang said: "This classmate, I have some confusion about your ancient poem, can you please give me an answer?"

"President, please speak!" Wu Zichen replied stubbornly.

President Zhang said: "For example, why use 'Da Qin Zhu' in the sentence 'Da Qin Zhu is good'?"

Wu Zichen hesitated for a moment and then replied: "The Qin Dynasty unified the six kingdoms and annexed the world, it was the most powerful, and it gathered the best treasures and treasures in the world at that time, and pearls were no exception. The use of 'Daqin pearl' is to describe the beauty and brilliance of pearls. ”

Xiao Jing stood on the side and couldn't help but laugh.
