Chapter 80: Untitled
The dust in front of the Buddha statue was swept away and covered, and the chanting stopped and came again. He whispered the Buddha's teachings, and his heart was like water.
"Master, I finally learned to show off mandarin ducks!"
“……”
"Master, I'll recite the Great Compassion Mantra to you!"
“……”
"I'm more familiar with the road to the temple than the silk village!"
“……”
"Master ......"
"Huh?"
She is as red as a fire and as bright as a peach blossom.
"I'm getting married."
…… Somehow, the beads scattered all over the place.
"Amitabha."
That's the topic this time. Does it sound familiar? Anyway, Zhu Ziqing is too familiar with this passage. An allusion from Jian San in his previous life, he has read it no less than fifty times. Although there are small changes in the first few sentences, they are still about the same.
I didn't expect to be able to see this story when I traveled to this world, it's really a coincidence. If it weren't for the changes in the first few sentences, he almost thought that he had met a 'peer'.
I just don't know if the author made it up himself, or borrowed it from other places. But when we don't explore this question now, it's important to solve the problem.
This question is actually very easy to solve, you can start from love, you can also start from the difference in identity, or both. In short, it is not difficult to solve such an open-ended proposition. The difficulty lies in the level of writing.
How is Zhu Ziqing going to solve the problem? He doesn't need to solve the problem. When he saw the title, he laughed. There are many poems and articles related to 'Flower Monk' in the previous life, but the first thing that comes to everyone's mind must be Cangyang Gyatso's 'live up to it'.
This poem is so famous that anyone who is not illiterate knows it. Especially the last four sentences, which are even more well-known. When he saw this allusion, Zhu Ziqing felt that this poem and this story were a perfect match. For this reason, he also searched the full text of the poem on the Internet.
At that time, it was purely idle and boring, but I didn't expect this world to be used. It was a real bonus. Thinking of the article on transportation, Zhu Ziqing didn't hesitate, and wrote it with a pen.
Beauty is not born from a mother's wedlock, it should be grown from a peach blossom tree,
I hate that peach blossoms are easy to fall, and falling flowers are more affectionate than you.
……
……
I was worried about hurting the Brahman, and I was afraid that I would fall into the city by mistake when I entered the mountain,
The world is safe and perfect, and it lives up to its promise.
The whole poem is eighteen lines, each line is fourteen words, a total of 252 words. With Zhu Ziqing's current writing speed, it only takes a few minutes to write.
After writing it, Zhu Ziqing couldn't help but sigh again. Cangyang Gyatso is really worthy of a generation of love monks and a generation of writers. Every time I read this poem, I have a heartfelt feeling. Sigh that the world is impermanent, lament that nothing is perfect, and sigh that the choice is too heartbreaking.
After a long while, Zhu Ziqing looked at the empty title and had a headache again. Cangyang Gyatso has a very bad place, many of his poems have no titles, including this one.
For the sake of convenience, many people use the last sentence as the name of the poem. This is a common method in the literary world. Many ancient poems have no name, and the most beautiful sentence of the poem is usually chosen as the title for easy memorization.
The advantage of this is that the original author is respected as much as possible. Moreover, the titles added by later generations will carry a strong personal understanding, which will affect other people's interpretation of the original author's intentions.
But when reading this poem, Zhu Ziqing always felt that it was a bit inconsistent. He felt that it was a bit one-sided to use this line of poetry to represent the whole poem. Not to say, of course, that he is against this approach. The purpose of everyone doing this is only for convenience, and there is no other meaning.
In his previous life, he was a nobody, and he couldn't change anything. But in this world, he is the original author of this poem. If you don't like it, you must correct it.
And the original author has been dead for a long time, so even if you don't write the title, you can't do anything about him. If he dares not to write his name, he will definitely be questioned in a few days. If you don't get it right, there will be a topic of 'the author himself can't think of a suitable name'.
When making a decision, it's as simple as patting the door of your head. When it comes to practice, you will find that there are many difficulties. Just like now, Zhu Ziqing is scratching his head. With his level, it is not enough to name such a classic poem.
I didn't think of the right one after thinking about it, and finally had to resort to the memories in my head. After rummaging through it, I finally had to accept the reality that no name could match the poem.
It's not that there is no good name, but that any name put on this poem, he doesn't think it's appropriate. At this time, he understood why everyone didn't give those untitled poems a name, but chose the most classic sentence from the work as the name.
Untitled poem? Zhu Ziqing's heart moved. I think of the famous poet Li Shangyin of the Tang Dynasty, many of his works do not have names. In order to make it easier for later generations to remember, they directly named the word 'untitled', which did not affect everyone's appreciation in the slightest.
Yes, that's it. 'Untitled', the more Zhu Ziqing thought about it, the more he felt that this idea was really fantastic. I'm a genius. After carefully examining the whole poem, he couldn't help but get upset.
In fact, Zhu Ziqing did not know the true situation of the 'untitled' poem, and it all relied on his own understanding. His understanding is naturally absurd. What is the real "untitled" poem?
The reason why the ancient poems are untitled is because the authors of these poems did not intend to write poems, but just to express their own emotions, so they casually satire, which naturally became chapters.
Gu Yanwu said: "The poems of the ancients have poems and then titles; The poems of today's people have titles and then poems. If there is a poem and then there is a title, the poem is full of love; There is a title and then there is a poet, whose poems are like things. ”
Yuan Mei also said: "Untitled poems, natural sounds; Poems with titles, people are also beautiful. Nature is easy to work, but people are difficult to work. "Three Hundred" and "Nineteen Ancient Poems" are all untitled works, and later generations take one or two words of the first side of his poems as the title, so they are unique through the ages. Below the Han and Wei dynasties, there are poems with titles, and the temperament is gradually flourishing. ”
To put it simply, untitled poems are clever and natural, and they are the expression of emotions from the heart, so most of them are peerless masterpieces that have been passed down through the ages. Poems with titles are written for propositions, poems with a purpose, and most of these poems deviate from people's original hearts.
This is the reason why Li Shangyin wrote so many untitled poems, and so did Cangyang Gyatso. That's why their poems can be passed down through the ages and widely sung.
Zhu Ziqing didn't know that his ignorance almost made a big joke. Thankfully, the quality of the poem fully deserves the name 'Untitled'. Otherwise, I don't know how he ended.
After the title was written, Zhu Ziqing looked at the time, and it was only more than half an hour. Looking left and right, most of them were writing with their heads bored. There is also a small group of people scratching their ears and cheeks, apparently having a problem.
Seeing the 'peers' who are still working hard, a sense of superiority arises spontaneously, and the traverser is so capricious. Although this feeling comes very shamelessly.
The time spent traversing has been long, and there are more works to be carried. Zhu Ziqing felt that his skin was getting thicker and thicker. He used to feel a little embarrassed to carry works, and he was embarrassed to say that he was in the literary world when he went out. Now he is a literati everywhere. These changes are subtle.
The poem has been written, and Zhu Ziqing doesn't want to continue to be in a daze here. If it was before, in order to keep a low profile, he would choose to stay a little longer and wait for someone to hand in the papers before going out.
However, time has changed, and now he is different from the previous him, so naturally he no longer needs to be as cautious as before.
In the past, he was a pure newcomer, so he naturally didn't dare to be too high-profile. Now he is a famous fairy tale writer, a three-time winner of the literary competition, and the most talented rookie in the literary world, with an immeasurable future. Submit the paper in advance, and everyone will not find it too strange.
That being said, when he got up and signaled that he was going to hand in the papers, it still attracted the attention of everyone present. So much ahead of schedule in such an important competition.
At first, they thought it was someone who had given up the game. But when he saw that it was Zhu Ziqing, he couldn't believe it again. Such an open proposition is not difficult to say, but it is not easy to say. If that person doesn't play well, it's possible that he happens to be stumped. But to say that the winners of the first three rounds were stumped, they are not convinced.
This is one of the benefits of Zhu Ziqing winning three consecutive championships, which makes everyone ignore his age and recognize his strength.
However, to say that he completed this creation in just over half an hour, everyone thinks it is unlikely. After half an hour, most of them only started to write, and some of them didn't even finish their ideas. He's already written it, and the gap is too big, isn't it?
Which one can go to the fourth round is not full of confidence in themselves, and the strength fluctuates with different states, and they accept it. If there is such a big gap, they will never believe it.
Did he really give up? This thought came to everyone's mind.
Of all these people, who is seen as the number one opponent? There is no doubt about Zhu Ziqing. Everyone sees him as the biggest threat. It would be nice if the threat was withdrawn like this, and that's what everyone wants.
This year's three consecutive championships have been announced, and the official staff of Wensai pay more attention than anyone else. From the moment Zhu Ziqing walked into the examination room, the invigilator's eyes almost never left him. It's not focused surveillance, it's curiosity.
Curious how an eighteen-year-old did all this. I'm also curious about what kind of work he wrote in this game.
However, the organizing committee has stipulated that no one shall make any action to interfere with the participants during the competition. This includes walking around and watching the contestants write. Only when the reference staff submits the paper, can the invigilator go down and collect the paper.
What people didn't expect was that this player, who was expected by everyone, actually handed in the paper ahead of schedule. Although he really wanted to see Zhu Ziqing's article in advance, he didn't want to see it in this situation.
The invigilator looked at Zhu Ziqing, who walked out of the examination room lightly, with surprised eyes, wanting to stop it but not daring to make a move. I could only watch him leave.
When Zhu Ziqing's back disappeared into the aisle, he suddenly remembered something. Three steps and two steps came to Zhu Ziqing's seat, and reached out to pick up a thin piece of paper on the table. When I saw the content on the paper, I was speechless for a long time.
