A second โ of small โณ said ยง net.. Wonderful novels to read for free!
Luo Xijiu's words seem to be fair and impartial, but in fact, anyone with a discerning eye can see that it is obviously unfavorable to Fan Hongdao. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Limiting the theme of today's ceremony to "Literary Meeting" is certainly beyond reproach. Guozijian is the ancient Taixue, the nominal highest institution, and the entrance ceremony of the new students of Guozijian is of course a literary affair.
But who is the person sitting opposite Fan Hongdao? It is the world's recognized leader of the literary circle, Wang Shizhen, and with such a humanistic society, a hundred Fan Hongdao is not enough to fight.
That's why Han Yanchang was secretly happy, he and Fan Hongdao had lived together in Hedong for a period of time, and he had never seen Fan Hongdao do anything in literary affairs.
He has never seen Fan Hongdao write articles, he has never seen Fan Hongdao write poems, and even official documents are drafted by old officials, which is not quite like the habit of a scholar. From this, Han Xiucai concluded that literary affairs must be Fan Hongdao's shortcomings, so he deliberately hid his clumsiness.
As long as Fan Hongdao is ugly in literary affairs, he can further use the topic to play, and maybe he can find an excuse to cut Fan Hongdao.
At that time, no one can say whether it is or not, after all, Guozijian is a place to study and study. Fan Hongdao did not come in because of his background and donations, but was chartered in as a so-called talent, and if he was found to be not a talent with insufficient cultural level, it seemed natural to be reprimanded.
It can only be said that Han Xiucai's little abacus played perfectly, but it was a pity that he hit the wrong object. How did he know that Fan Hongdao had a basket of classic poems in his stomach, but he usually cherished them and didn't take them out easily.
At this time, Wang Shizhen suddenly opened her mouth and said to Fan Hongdao: "Everyone in the world knows that my generation of fellow Taoists is determined to cleanse the outdated atmosphere of the past hundred years, and has always advocated that literature must be in the Western Han Dynasty and poetry in the Tang Dynasty.
Over the years, he has been widely echoed by his peers. However, I heard that you once said that my generation was superstitious and the ancients denied the present people, and they just followed the rules and rested on their laurels, which are all poisons in the future. Has it ever been?"
Fan Hongdao was a little surprised, when he first met Lord Zhu in the county government of Daxing County last year, he did say these words to slander Wang Shizhen, and they actually reached Wang Shizhen's ears? It seems that Wang Shizhen is targeting himself today, not just taking the blame for Shen Shoufu.
Han Xiucai was also surprised, he didn't expect Grandmaster Wang to speak in person, maybe it was because he was holding back his anger just now. Since this is the case, he can't snatch Lord Wang's words, so he has to wait for Fan Hongdao to answer first.
Since Wang Shizhen is known as the grandmaster, he is indeed a giant in the field of literary and artistic theory, and there is no one else like him today. But Fan Hongdao didn't seem to care about Grandmaster Wang's name at all, and only said calmly:
"Sticking to the ancient method, although the fame is great, but there is no achievement. Only by expressing one's heart directly, writing with true temperament, and writing about nature and true meaning, can we create a truly masterpiece. Instead of deliberately imitating the rules of the Han and Tang dynasties, writing things that are tied to their hands and feet in the format of their predecessors.
Wang Fengzhou: You said that by advocating the Han and Tang Dynasties, you can eliminate the outdated atmosphere of the pavilion in the past, but today, how can your ideas not be the stale of the new generation?"
Although Fan Hongdao's answer did not add a subject in the first half of the sentence, they all knew who he was referring to when he said "no achievements".
The second half of the sentence is full of young people's arrogance, which means that you Wang Shizhen is old, outdated, and can't keep up with the new trend!
Immediately, someone was not angry, and stood up and said to Fan Hongdao: "It's really a big joke, it's the first time I've seen someone say that Wang Fengzhou Gong has no achievements!"
Who doesn't know that Wang Fengzhou's official works are equal to his body, commenting on the poems and writings of ancient and modern characters, and spreading them all over the world, you dare to say that there are no achievements?"
Fan Hongdao sneered disdainfully: "When I say achievements, I mean that they can be passed down through the ages! Who would really have ambitions to take the world's reputation in their eyes?
After all, literati and scholars have to rely on poetry and literary masterpieces to speak, may I ask Fengzhou Gong, do you dare to say that your own poems and texts can be passed down through the ages?"
Rao is Wang Shizhen is proud of herself, and she doesn't dare to say that she has any poems that can be passed down through the ages, generally those who boast like this are crazy, Wang Shizhen may think very highly of herself but is not a psychopath.
Besides, her family knows her own affairs, and Wang Shizhen knows very well that her strengths and strengths lie in her high-level literary and artistic theories, so she is respected as a grandmaster. As for the actual creation, he may be better than the average person, but it is ridiculous and generous to say that it has been passed down through the ages.
At this time, Sect Master Wang's heart was filled with incomprehensible doubts, this Fan Hongdao seemed to know himself very thoroughly, where did he know about it?
Others knew everything about him, but he knew almost nothing about him, which faintly made Sect Master Wang feel a little uneasy.
Han Yanchang stood up again with great experience, pointed at Fan Hongdao and said: "Unashamed of his words, he is exaggerated! I have seen a lot of people who have spoken a thousand words and have nothing to write! What can you write?"
When several young people around Wang Shizhen heard Han Xiucai say this, they coaxed together: "What do you Fan Hongdao have to say?"
This is exactly the effect that Han Xiucai wants, and what qualifications does Fan Hongdao have to blame others?
Not to mention the people on Wang Shizhen's side, even the neutral prisoners under the terrace felt that Fan Hongdao spoke too much, and what kind of ability was it to blindly demand others? Those who are high-eyed and low-handed, are also looked down upon!
In the face of the fierce ridicule and questioning, Fan Hongdao did not flinch, and raised his head and said: "You are all in Beijing, don't you hear that life is only as good as the first time you see this poem?
Regarding the phrase "if life is only as first seen", it has a certain degree of circulation in the capital, but it is limited to the means of communication and Fan Hongdao's popularity factor in this year, and it is in the category that some people know and some people don't know.
But in any case, as long as anyone who has heard of this song, no one can deny the artistic level of this song. It is precisely by word of mouth that this poem has been able to continue to circulate and expand.
Among the young people around Wang Shizhen, there are indeed a few who know this word, and even Han Xiucai has heard of this word. But there are always ambiguities in the legend of the population, and Han Yanchang did not associate this word with Fan Hongdao at all.
"Are you saying that you wrote this poem?" Han Yanchang asked, and then saw Fan Hongdao nodding proudly.
Han Yanchang immediately shouted: "This is absolutely impossible, it must be you who are pretending! I have worked with you for two months, and I have never seen you have any literary talent, how can I come across such a good sentence!"
What Han Yanchang said seemed to be reasonable, and everyone on the stage shouted together: "It's extreme, it's extreme, you Fan Hongdao is mediocre and unknown, and you don't have any literary names in circulation, how can you write such good words!"
Someone else shouted: "There is no evidence, it is very suspicious! Who knows if it is a false confession!"
Fan Hongdao felt a deep pain, this is a kind of cultural hegemony of a small circle to manipulate public opinion, and if you want to break this cultural hegemony, you have to pay several times the hard work.
