Chapter 6 Ancient Poetry Translation is New Poetry
Yang Zijian took into account all factors and decided to determine the first submission object to be the supplement editor of Nanjian Daily - Poet Yancong. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
He planned to write a set of five poems for the supplement "Hundred Gardens" that Yan Cong was in charge of.
Poetry is the most cost-effective: it has a small number of words, a high remuneration, and is easy to fool.
The poetry manuscript fee is calculated according to the line, one yuan per line, and the middle space is also counted as a line, and the five poems are less than 700 words when written in 100 lines, and there is a 100 yuan remuneration, and if it is written in prose, it must be six or seven thousand words.
Poetry is the most bizarre literary genre, saying that it is easy to write, Luo Bingwang can "Goose Goose Goose" at the age of seven; It is said that it is difficult to write because there are many genres, especially new poetry, which has a distinct style in different periods, and it is difficult to have a standard.
For Yang Zijian, the editor Yan Cong was the examiner of the ancient imperial examination, and after analyzing some of his preferences, he decided to do what he liked, grabbed the pen, and began to write the green squares of the composition book, and wrote two poems in a blink of an eye.
"Ancient Temple":
With earthly piety
Escape the call of Zhong Xuan's aftermath
I came quietly
The winding path is secluded, and the flowers and trees are fragrant
In the place of sudden retrospection
Show the face of the vicissitudes of the thousand-year-old temple
Solemn and calm
……
There is the compassion of the morning sun shining on the birds
Some of the shadows reflect the inner tranquility
How many reincarnations are on the Sansheng Stone
At this moment
It's all empty
……
"Frost Leaf Fishing Fire":
The maple leaves outside Hanshan Temple
Red and green, red and red
Year after year, thousands of years
The moon rises and sets, and the jackdaws cry softly
Turned into a full of nostalgia
……
Now again
The sunset outside the city of Nagusu
Stepping on a river fishing fire
Listen to the frosty bells in the evening breeze
It tells the story of a thousand-year-old journey
……
Since he got used to typing on the computer, he hadn't written for a long time, and he had only written two poems of more than 300 words, and Yang Zijian felt that his wrist was slightly sore.
He reviewed it, changed one or two places, blew the paper, dried the ink, and then turned over a page and wrote three poems, including "Sunset Township", "Bashan Night Rain" and "Snow Country".
Four of the five poems are related to ancient poetry, and the other is also with ancient poetic conception, and Yan Cong likes this traditional retro neoclassical poetry the most.
Although in Yang Zijian's view, this so-called neoclassicism is actually to translate ancient poems into modern language, disrupt the order, and expand the outer edge of its imagery - in other words, let the reader feel that on the basis of the original poetic conception, there is still some unknown deep meaning.
In fact, it is a game of text stacking, high-level flickering, making people unaware of the experience, and being able to justify themselves.
But this new poetry is very easy to learn, and it is not easy to be harmonized.
The poetry of the 80s and early 90s, hazy poetry, impressionism, and the new generation were popular in the mainland, and Gu Chenghaizi in the north island was branded with the poet's personal temperament and legendary life experience, and it was useless to imitate, it could not be popular at all, and finally it became narrower and narrower, and evolved into a kind of "poetry that only poets can understand".
As for Wang Guozhen's poems, which have mixed reputations, this kind of slogan-style inspirational poems can only be written by Sect Master Wang, because it is more like a religious aphorism, high above, and in essence, it has been detached from life and human nature, and this style of poetry starts and ends with him.
Minzhong was deeply influenced by the poets Yu Guangzhong and Xi Murong of the treasure island, and there was another development, forming this traditional and elegant style of returning to the ancient poetry, and liked to express modern feelings from Tang and Song poems, and Yan Cong was the explorer and derivator of this kind of poetry.
These five poems are part of a group of fifteen poems that Yang Zijian later composed, and after they were submitted to Yan Cong, they were published almost in the whole group that week because of their favor, and Yan Cong also wrote a highly praised editorial review, and when he sent the sample newspaper, he also carried an enthusiastic letter.
Of course, at that time, Yang Zijian was already a little famous, so he would have such treatment, and now he is a beginner, although he has removed the poems or sentences with depth, and uses ancient poems that junior high school students can come into contact with, and the interpretation and expression are also the thoughts and feelings inherent in the original ancient poems, which are more like modern translations of ancient poems - as long as they can be published and get the manuscript fee, they are already "goose rice tofu".
