Chapter 222: Becoming a Classic of Literary History
As soon as "To the Oak Tree" came out, the image of this love poem was greatly shocked.
When Su Wen walked down, everyone forgot to applaud and say goodbye, not that they were not excited, not that they didn't like such poems, but they didn't know how to express the emotions in their hearts.
In Su Wen's poems, he uses novel and magnificent imagery and appropriate metaphors to express the ideal concept of love in his heart. Both the metaphors and the peculiar combination of imagery in the poem represent a new form of poetry that is groundbreaking. In addition, although the poetry has the characteristics of colloquialism, it adopts novel imagery, and the language of the poem is somewhat hazy, with a fresh aura and subtle hints in the novelty, giving people infinite space for reverie.
It was also because of this reverie that everyone couldn't come back to their senses for a while, and just watched Su Wen walk off the stage in a daze, forgetting to applaud and being silent.
Su Wen seemed to understand everyone's mentality, and he didn't care, just smiled, and walked towards Haizhi and the others.
The classicity of "To the Oak Tree" is unquestionable, and no one in this world understands its value better than Su Wen.
It is a beautiful, deep lyric poem. The love it expresses is not only innocent and hot, but also noble and great. It is like an old and fresh song, tugging at people's heartstrings.
Shu Ting's poems are novel in conception and rich in lyricism; The language is beautiful, with a distinct personal style, "To the Oak Tree" is such a existence, that is, it is about love, and it is also not ordinary.
She uniquely chose the two central images of "kapok" and "oak tree", and contained delicate and euphemistic and deep and strong feelings in a novel and vivid imagery. The oak tree is used as an object to express the passion, sincerity and fidelity of love. Here, the oak tree is not a concrete object, but an ideal lover symbol. Therefore, to a certain extent, this poem is not simply pouring out his passionate love, but to express an ideal and belief in love. Through the intimate and specific image to play, it is quite the meaning of the ancients' words and aspirations.
In addition to expressing love, all the imagery in the poem seems to be vaguely referential, especially the last three lines of the poem: "Love - / not only love your majestic body, / but also love the place you hold onto, the ground under your feet!" ”
It seems to be a turning point. But it makes the whole poem endless, has more possibilities, and allows people to have more understanding.
All of a sudden, the poem is enriched, the imagery, the artistic conception, and the theme seem simple, but in fact, there is something broad contained in it. It makes people read it with endless memories and can't stop it.
"Good!" Suddenly, there was a loud shout, which woke up everyone at the scene.
When everyone looked at it, it was the great poet Haizhi who was the first to applaud!
I saw the sea finger god stand up, his hands kept clapping, his face was red, he looked extremely excited, and he gave a thumbs up to Su Wen who came over from time to time.
"Good!"
"Good poetry!"
"What a Suwen!"
Everyone reacted. There were also cheers and cheers, and loud and warm applause once again rang out in the hall. They all paid tribute to Su Wen.
"This poem is so good, it really deserves to be Su Wen, and only he can write a good poem like "To the Oak Tree"."
"Brother, do you understand what other people's poems are trying to express?"
"Isn't it love? Somehow, it dawned on me that love poems should be written like this. That's how love should be! If I love you, I will never show off myself through your branches...... What a moving word. What a charming image. Isn't that what men and women in love should be? ”
"Is it really just an expression of love? How do I feel as if there is something else? ”
"You're thinking too much."
The students only care about applauding, and they don't care about anything else.
This is also the attitude of Haizhi, as long as he can appreciate excellent poetry, he will not pay attention to the rest.
"To the Oak Tree" deserves his applause.
Islands are more relatable. Before Su Wen could come to him, he turned his head and asked Hai Zhi, "Do you think "To the Oak Tree" is weird?" ”
"Weird?" Haizhi was puzzled, "Why is it weird?" ”
"I can't say it, I just think it...... Well, have you forgotten what Su Wen said just now? "He just said that his poetry is not easy to understand, and it is not easy to understand. Shouldn't there be any other understanding of "To the Oak Tree"? ”
"You're thinking too much, maybe he's playing tricks." Haizhi shook his head and said, "I don't think about it so much, I just see an extraordinary love in the poem." I admire this love and revel in such poetry. ”
"I suddenly remembered another of his poems, "One Generation," which has only two lines: The night gave me black eyes, but I used them to find light. The poem is also simple, but there are so many choices about what it refers to. ”
Haizhi laughed and said: "I also think of a poem by Su Wen, which is an ancient poem on poetry, and there is a sentence in it that says: Only the eye must be opened independently, and the art garden is full of female yellow." Isn't that exactly what you're in now? You're really thinking too much! ”
"Uh......" the island couldn't say.
At this time, Su Wen came to them, Hai Zhi greeted him, patted Su Wen's shoulders with both hands, and said with a sigh: "A new generation of people for old people, Su Wen, I finally understand what this means now." Regardless of ancient love poems, let's say modern love poems, there are not 100,000 but 70,000 or 80,000 published love poems. But you showed me another possibility of love poetry. Simple imagery, but it expresses passionate and loyal love! The image of the oak tree and kapok is classic, really! ”
Su Wen smiled and said that the award was awarded.
Haidao interjected and asked, "Su Wen, does your "To the Oak Tree" have any other references besides love accidents, and do you have any other understanding?" ”
"You may be able to remove the word for love." Su Wen said with a smile.
"Love?" The island was stunned for a moment.
Su Wen shrugged and didn't speak.
This is obviously a love poem, and no matter how it is described, it is imaged as a person in love. Especially the oak and the kapok, that kind of love, equal and powerful, without other discrimination and without other scruples. This is the love that everyone longs for, and it is also the love that human beings in the new era crave!
However, if you combine the life background of the original author Shu Ting, that turbulent era, that era of cultural silence, and then ponder the meaning of this poem, it always makes people feel that there can be something else besides love.
For example, love, there is one less love, but it is a very simple love. Love life, love love, love life, love spirit, love civilization, love ...... Love knows no bounds!
If it can be understood in this way, then the whole poem is on another level, a kind of spiritual sublimation.
Can it be understood in this way? It may not be necessary, but it is possible.
Anyway, Su Wen thought more with the spiritual core of the Hazy Poetry School, so when Haidao asked this question, he could say it ambiguously.
Haidao really frightened him, and he kept thinking about what "love" was all about, so that he didn't notice the silence on the scene again.
The students could only be silent again, because they suddenly found that they had no fighting spirit - as soon as Su Wen came, no one dared to compete for the honorary title of "Star of Poetry".
Just now, Xu Huan's adaptation of "Ten Commandments Poems" and "The Farthest Distance in the World", they applauded, and they were so excited that they didn't want to, they just felt that Xu Huan was going to win the star of poetry.
How could I have thought that Su Wenlai would have a more perfect "The Farthest Distance in the World", and also threw out a song "To the Oak Tree" with a richer image, more beautiful artistic conception and more classic language!
In this way, there is nothing to do with them!
The people who planned to go up and let everyone listen to their poems before can only stop now, and silently recite their poems, only to feel indifferent and tasteless, they should simply throw them into the trash, they have no value at all, and if they really read it, it just pollutes everyone's ears, and compared with Su Wen's poems, it will only make people laugh.
If you don't want to be ashamed, you can only be silent.
Silence is contagious, some of you look down and count your toes, some look up at the ceiling, some look at me, I look at you, but you just don't speak.
Xu Huan also knew that he had lost a lot today, his face was defeated, and he sighed silently. He looked up slightly to look at Yi Youran, wondering what she was advocating, only to find that she just smiled wryly and shook her head.
So, the brightest star tonight is Su Wen?
Perhaps in order to alleviate the embarrassment and embarrassment of everyone, Haizhi did not hesitate, went directly to the podium, picked up the microphone and said: "Students, I didn't come in vain today, although only two people came up to read the poem, but it made me see the diversity of poetry and the greatest possibility of the direction of poetry!" I am very relieved and very excited. I won't say anything else, but I'm glad to hear a poem like "To the Oak Tree." Why satisfied? ”
Haizhi paused, and his voice suddenly became much louder: "Because this is a very powerful poem!" A powerful love poem, to be exact! Note that it is force, not force. It is the power of strength! In the past, most of the love poems were indulged in love to death and life, as if there was nothing else in the eyes except love. To the Oak Tree is the opposite! It breaks through the constraints of ordinary love poems and writes a tall and brave image of love. The oak tree is strong, and even the kapok is fiery and powerful. This kind of love poem can infect people, move people, and assimilate people. ”
Speaking of this, Hai Zhi paused for a moment, organized the language, and suddenly pointed at Su Wen and shouted in an unusually high tone: "Su Wen, thank you for dedicating a classic poem to us. Yes, it's a classic! I dare say that decades later, "To the Oak Tree" has its extraordinary vitality to infect future generations. It can become a popular classic psalm! It can become a classic in the history of literature! ”
What the?
When everyone heard this, their eyes were so shocked that they were about to pop out.
Popular? Is it a classic of literary history?
This is the evaluation of the first person in today's poetry world!
Is it "To the Oak Tree"?
So, they are fortunate to witness the birth of a classic today, and won't they also become part of the legend? (To be continued......)
