Chapter 268: Meiwen
Although there are many things to deal with, Su Wen still treats Ma Junwu's request as the first thing.
Because he feels that Ma Junwu has the value of cultivation.
He carefully pondered Ma Junwu's articles, and this girl has published two works, one is a collection of essays called "Notes on the Silent Night", and the other is a collection of novels called "Sunset".
Needless to say, the latter is mostly campus youth novels, except for romance and love, it seems that nothing can be written, and it has little value.
The former is a bit interesting and worth tapping into its potential.
How to say it, Su Wen feels that Ma Junwu's writing has a major feature, that is, gorgeous!
Gorgeous and beautiful writing, sad spring and autumn, wind and snow, gorgeous and beautiful rhetoric, neat and charming. This kind of penmanship is easy to write into a pile of rhetoric, empty and empty, as if there is no disease**, just like a certain dwarf surnamed Guo in Su Wen's memory, which is typical in this regard.
However, when such writing is coupled with profound thoughts, and the spark of thought and literature is sparked, it is a different matter.
Ma Junwu also has the potential in this area, his novels are just youth stories, and he really has a bit of a taste of sorrow for the new words, but when it comes to prose, he seems to be a different person. Although it's a bit pretended to be deep, it's still a bit stiff in terms of thought, and it doesn't look like a big iron. But I can't bear to read too many books!
As the saying goes, if you read more than 10,000 books, you will write like a god.
Ma Junwu is such a person, he is known as a bookworm, no matter what kind of book, whether it is astronomy and geography, astrological gossip, as long as it is a book, he is interested, he must read it. This has created a wealth of his literary style, and he can easily come up with all kinds of allusions and famous sayings. With one's eyes shut.
There are specific allusions as examples to support it, and when it comes to writing, even if it is a bit blunt in terms of ideology and philosophy, it is quite convincing and does not make people suspicious. Especially his prose, even if he writes about the ordinary things around him. You can go in and out of the ancient and modern, and talk about it.
Isn't this way of writing like a person?
The first thing Su Wen thought of was Zhou Zuoren!
As an essayist, although Zhou Zuoren's banknote style prose is a headache to write, he can write something that looks dull, and he can write some fun. That's a brilliant stroke.
Su Wen wanted Ma Junwu to learn this way of writing at first, but he gave up after thinking about it, although Ma Junwu read a lot, he was just the people of the Chinese Empire in this world. I read a lot of books.
If Ma Junwu just keeps copying books, it is estimated that readers will get bored after reading too much, after all, they are different from Zhou Zuoren's era, and there is no need for a big writer to give them all kinds of popular science anthology allusions!
In the end, the prose that Ma Junwu got from Su Wen was called "Yangguan Xue".
Yes, after excluding Zhou-style writing, Su Wen felt that Ma Junwu was still like a person, that was Yu Qiuyu!
The same gorgeous writing. The same deep tone of voice—well, although one of them was pretending to be deep—at least Ma Junwu could still imitate a little bit of the taste of Yu Qiuyu.
It doesn't need to be exactly alike. After all, Yu Qiuyu has walked more roads than Ma Junwu has eaten salt, and the history and environment of Master Yu's era will make him have a greater sense of crisis.
It is not difficult to see from Yu Qiuyu's article that his humanistic concern is more out of his sense of crisis about cultural disillusionment. The Chinese Empire here will never have such worries.
Therefore, Su Wen does not need Ma Junwu to write Yu Qiuyu's deep articles, but to learn his style and style.
What style?
Cultural Essays!
Before Yu Qiuyu. Most of the essays written in the cultural category are reading notes, and the strongest is none other than Zhou Zuoren's banknote style, which is more interesting to write. In the hands of Yu Qiuyu, culture is feelings. It's the material, but it's also the style of prose. His prose has always immersed people in the charm of culture.
Cultural essays are all about writing about beauty. Yu Qiuyu's prose can always make people appreciate a kind of beauty - not to mention whether you agree with his views or not, at least, the words are beautiful, the thoughts are also beautiful, and even the things in the pen, even if they are flawed, make people feel that they are beautiful. This may have something to do with the fact that he came from a research background.
In Ma Junwu, Su Wen discovered this trait! The other party asked him to show him a clear path, and he felt that it was a good choice to let Ma Junwu embark on the path of the Yu family.
As long as Ma Junwu can imitate the style of Qifen Yu's prose, it will not be difficult to succeed.
So "Yangguan Snow" was released.
Ma Junwu read this article with a skeptical and learning mentality, and was instantly shocked by the first sentence at the beginning-
"In ancient China, once you were a literati, you had no opinion."
The next line that shocked him inexplicably:
The prominence of civil officials is not in the official but not in the literature, and their side as literati is also insignificant in the officialdom. But things are very strange, when the Eguan Bo belt has long been scattered into mud, a bamboo pen occasionally scribbled poems, can engrave mountains and rivers, carve people's hearts, never flood.
I once had a fate, on the river boat at dusk to look up at the White Emperor City, against the thick autumn frost to climb the Yellow Crane Tower, but also in a winter night to touch the Hanshan Temple. All around me, there are so many people, almost all of them, that few poems that don't need to be quoted echo in their hearts. People come to find scenery, but also to find poetry.
……
The magic of the literati can turn a remote corner of the vast world into a hometown in everyone's heart. What kind of spell is hidden in their faded green shirts?
Today, I went to find Yangguan for Wang Wei's "Weicheng Song".
……
The old man of history was awe-inspiring, turned his head, and trembled towards the genealogy of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors again. Here, there is no need for art to make too much of a situation, and there is no need to have too deep sustenance for beauty.
As a result, the style of painting in Kyushu was overshadowed. Yangguan, it is no longer difficult to enjoy warm and mellow verses. There are still literati in Yangguan in the west, but most of them have become officials and ministers.
Even if it is a mound and a stone city, it can't stand the blowing of so many sighs, and Yangguan collapses, collapsing in the spiritual territory of a nation. It will eventually become a ruin, a wasteland. Behind him, the sand grave is like a tide, and in front of him, the cold peak is like a wave. No one can imagine that here, more than 1,000 years ago, the magnificence of life and the grandeur of artistic feelings were verified.
There should be a few sounds of Hu Ji and Qiang flute here, the timbre is extremely beautiful, harmonious with nature, and it is breathtaking. Unfortunately, they all became the mourning voices of the soldiers. Since no nation can bear to hear about it, they will disappear into the wind.
Let's go back, it's not too early. I'm afraid it's going to snow.
……
Masking, sighing, contemplation.
After a while, Ma Junwu sighed: "It's so beautiful! It's so beautiful! This "Yangguan Snow" is extremely beautiful! ”
In addition to sighing, Ma Junwu was excited, because he found that this style was exactly what he wanted, and it was also in line with his current ability. I don't know why, when he read this article, he didn't feel jerky at all, but it was smooth as if it was what he was thinking, and it seemed to come from his hand!
"I'll think about it a few more times, and then I'll discuss it with Boss Su......" Ma Junwu fell into this new style of prose.
On the other hand, Su Wen continued to write hard and began to reply to the little princess of the empire! (To be continued.) )
