Chapter 662: You stand on the bridge and look at the scenery, and the people watching the scenery are watching you from upstairs

Huang Yifan was not a genius in his previous life. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Huang Yifan also asked himself that his literary talent was not high.

Fortunately, fate brought him to this world that was not quite the same as his previous life.

In these years, in addition to constantly carrying a series of works from his previous life to this world, Huang Yifan is more about enriching his own knowledge. If not, then no matter how talented Huang Yifan is in the eyes of others, it is impossible for him to stand on the three-foot podium of Shuimu University.

For modern poetry, although Huang Yifan does not particularly like it, he has also done a lot of research.

"This class is modern poetry appreciation, so the question is, how should we appreciate a poem?"

Huang Yifan said: "A gentleman mentioned early on that poetry has three realms, which means the physical realm, the situation, and the artistic conception. Another scholar once said that poetry has three meanings, which means beauty of form, sound, and meaning. In fact, whether there are three realms in poetry, or three beauties in poetry, in fact, their meanings are almost the same, but they are just another way of saying it.

However, when appreciating a poem, I think there is a more important question waiting for us.

How do we know it's a poem? ”

I have to say that Huang Yifan asked a very interesting question.

Appreciation aside, we first have to figure out whether this poem is a poem or not.

"If it is an ancient style poem, I believe you can see that this is five words, this is seven words, and it does not conform to these formats, but it is just a pure rhyming poem, we will think that it is a limerick poem, or that it is a miscellaneous poem. However, for modern poetry, I would like to ask you, how do we identify whether a poem is modern poetry or not? ”

Speaking of this, Huang Yifan made a spoof: "I suddenly remembered a work I wrote a few years ago, maybe many people have imprints, this work is called "Praise for White Clouds". Don't laugh...... The white clouds in the sky are so white...... I would like to ask, is this "Praise for White Clouds" a modern poem? If not, give a reason, and if so, give a reason. ”

It's really tiring to hold back a smile and go to class. Fortunately, Huang Yifan held back, but some of the other students in the audience had already leaned forward and leaned back with laughter.

"The white clouds in the sky are so white...... Hahaha, hahaha, laugh at me. ”

"This is the first of the ten modern poems."

"Pit, I now know that this poem was originally written by Professor Huang, no, no, it's not good, it's completely ruined."

After a while, after everyone calmed down, Huang Yifan nodded to a student who raised his hand to speak in front of him to answer the question.

"Professor Huang, I don't think 'Praise of the White Clouds' is a modern poem because it doesn't mean anything."

"There is no standard for meaning, so it is difficult to judge from meaning."

Huang Yifan shook his head and said.

"Professor Huang, I don't think the praise of Bai Yun is a modern poem, because he is just a long sentence, but the punctuation in it is rigidly lined, so it looks like a poem."

Another student stood up and replied.

"This classmate, modern poetry itself does not have a specific format, how can you think that this poem looks like a poem? If we think that "Praise for White Clouds" has the format of modern poetry, then it only proves that our vision is still too limited. ”

Huang Yifan still shook his head.

"Professor Huang, I don't think the praise of Baiyun rhymes, so it's not a modern poem."

Another classmate stood up and said.

"If rhyme is the characteristic of evaluating a poem, then limerick poetry is poetry of the highest standard."

Huang Yifan continued to shake his head.

"Let's go back to the previous topic, how can we determine if this is a modern poem?"

I called three students, and the answers of the three students were too one-sided, in fact, not only them, but also some professors, it was difficult for them to give a title on how to judge a modern poem.

Cihai's definition of modern poetry is vernacular poetry, and he believes that modern poetry is poetry written in the vernacular, and at the same time, it is also free-form poetry. It is precisely because of freedom that all the formatting of ancient poems, rhymes, and flats, can be removed, and how can we determine whether this is a modern poem? ”

Speaking of which, Huang Yifan turned on the projector.

"Let's take a look at the poem."

The PPT software showed a five-character poem at this time.

[Life is precious, and freedom is more valuable.

If it is free, both can be thrown. 】

This is a poem "Freedom and Love" from the famous poet "Pei Duofei" in the previous life, of course, this is a translated poem.

However, even if it is a translated vernacular poem, he is also full of incomparable charm.

At first glance, this poem is an ancient five-character poem, but if we look closely, we will find that it is written entirely in the vernacular. Therefore, we cannot consider him to be an ancient style poem. So, does he belong to modern poetry? ”

Huang Yifan naturally wouldn't say that this poem was written by Pei Duofei, and he didn't say that he wrote this poem himself, he just used this poem for teaching. Huang Yifan did not give an answer to this, he did not say that this is a modern poem, nor did he say that this is not a modern poem. Similarly, Huang Yifan did not ask the students to answer the questions again, he just raised this question for everyone to think about. In other words, Huang Yifan took out this poem not to make everyone think, but to open up their thinking that had been limited before.

Who said that modern poetry should be like that, and control the format of one frame?

Look at this poem "Freedom and Love", is this a modern poem?

After speaking, Huang Yifan changed the next page PPT: "Let's take a look at the next poem." ”

[You stand on the bridge and look at the scenery

The people watching the view are watching you from upstairs

The bright moon decorates your window

You decorate someone else's dream]

This poem is Bian Zhilin's "Broken Chapter" in the previous life, as for why it is called Broken Chapter, it is said that I didn't know what to call it at that time, so I took the name of the poem "Broken Chapter". However, perhaps it is also this stroke of genius that the broken chapter and the content of this poem have produced an unprecedented combination, making the poem more philosophical.

"I don't know if you have noticed that this work is different from all the poems we have read here, this poem does not seem to be poetry, he seems to be talking about the famous theoretical theory of relativity in physics. As in the first sentence "You look at the scenery on the bridge, and the people who see the scenery are also looking at you", what is this not the theory of relativity? Of course, we are not analyzing what this poem means, but I just want to ask again, can this poem be called a modern poem? ”

The reason why modern poetry is immature is not because of the immaturity of the format, nor is it because there is no artistry. In fact, everything is limited by the minds of countless people. They have always believed that modern poetry should be like this and should not be like that...... But in fact, modern poetry does not have such a messy so-called format, and in the same way, modern poetry is not just what many modern poets before it have written.

I have to say that Huang Yifan's teaching is extremely exciting. Although Huang Yifan did not explain anything in the past few tens of minutes, the cognition of modern poetry in the minds of many students completely collapsed at this time. (To be continued.) )
