Chapter 274: Unanimous Praise
When Yao Qiong saw this poem, she couldn't help but be shocked!
Although he himself is not good at poetry, and the poems he likes are also biased towards ancient poetry, this does not prevent him from appreciating the level of poetry, and this "Generation" is very good! It does seem to have written about the characteristics of the youth in the last years of that dynasty - looking for light in the night.
Just when Yao Qiong was shocked, another judge next to him reacted even more, only to see the poet with the pen name "Nandao" directly shoot the case and say excitedly: "Okay! This poem is so good! ”
Many media reporters were so excited to see Nandao, and they didn't know what happened to Lu Dao, and their intuition told them that Wu Di was afraid that this time, Wu Di wrote a very classic poem!
What kind of character is the South Island? Formerly known as Zhao Zhenkai, a contemporary Chinese poet, one of the representatives of hazy poetry, and two winners of the "Tsing Yi Poetry Award", one of the three major Chinese literary awards, has won the Chen Ke Literary Award, and has been nominated for the Lucien Literary Award many times. He is currently teaching at Chung Capital University. He has received the Swedish PEN Literary Award, the Western American PEN Center Freelance Writing Award, the Guggenheim Fellowship, and has been elected as a Life Honorary Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Letters.

His other works include: the novella "Fluctuations" and its English translation, "The Returning Stranger", "The Blue House", the essay collection "The Book of Failure", the essay collection "Green Lantern", and the essay collection "The City Gate Opens". Nandao's works have been translated and published in more than twenty languages.
He is one of the most influential and internationally recognized Chinese poets in the Chinese poetry scene today!
And now, this very famous Chinese poet has risen up and shouted loudly!
What kind of poem did this Wu Di write? actually touched this big man in the Chinese poetry circle so much?
The poet Wang Xiaoni, who is also a judge, is actually good friends with Zhu Yaoyi's father, this time Zhu Yaoyi and Wu Di's showdown, she wanted to secretly help Zhu Yaoyi, but now seeing Wu Di's poem, it actually touched the hazy poet Nandao so much. She knew that this time, Zhu Yaowei was doomed!
Even if she wanted to favor Zhu Yao's rebellion in her heart, in front of Wu Di's poem, it was all floating clouds!
So, what's so good about this "Generation"?
It is completely new in aesthetic principles.
It avoids the direct expression of emotions and discards the actual narrative of the scene, and it does not deliberately construct a complete artistic conception, but only uses imagery and metaphor. An unusual pair of "black eyes" (a symbol of the awakening of a generation) protrude against a heavy black background, and in front of the eyes, it seems that a white light can be seen through the gaps in the dark clouds.
The whole poem is like a three-dimensional print.
"Night" and "light" form a sharp contrast between dark and bright colors, and "black eyes" are distorted images that ooze strong emotional colors.
This artistic expression triggers the reader's imagination, and as a result, that suffocating era appears on the screen of imagination. The young generation that grew up in the end of the decaying dynasty, the tenacious spirit of inquiry erupted from the potential buried in the heart...... This is a statue of a whole "generation".
The simple image group of "Night-Eye-Light" constitutes an open time and space—a unique social scene and human psychological structure at a turning point in history. The infinite manifests itself in the finite. Simplicity is pregnant with profundity, which is the unique law of poetry. The forerunners of the new poetry trend are not only pursuing the return of human nature, but also the return of poetry to the ontology.
This little poem embodies a style of modern beauty. It breaks the traditional harmonious composition, and uses discordant imagery to create a shocking artistic effect, forcing people to reflect on history.
Because of the high standard of poetry in the South Island, he could see the meaning of the poem at a glance. So he was very excited, he felt that this Wu Di was a real genius!
This poem is enough for her to shake the poetry world!
In such a short period of time. In a flash of inspiration, he wrote such a perfect hazy poem, he couldn't help but think of the immortal chapters in history created by genius poets that have survived to this day!
Poetry is a genre that is different from articles, genius poets often write famous chapters in a flash of inspiration or even drunkenness, while most good articles need to be revised again and again to become classics......
The rest of the judges, although they are not as quick as Nandao, can taste the connotation of this poem quickly, but after reading it a few more times, "The night gave me black eyes, but I used them to find light", I felt very catchy and tasteful!
It seems that this kind of reading is endless, and I feel that I understand a little connotation, and I feel that the poetry in the clouds and fog is the real hazy poetry!
In this era when ancient style poetry is gradually disappearing and modern poetry is slowly dying out, it is the luck of the entire poetry world to have such a good poem!
Why is it that in contemporary times, so many outstanding Chinese poets have chosen to commit suicide?
First of all, in today's poetry world, there is a bad atmosphere - death, especially suicide, has become the peak or "extreme sprint" of poets' poetic activities in the eyes of some people, and has become a means of poetry apotheosis.
There is even a perception that "a poet who does not commit suicide is not a good poet", and after a poet commits suicide, his works can often be truly known to the world......
In the first twenty years, when hazy poetry arose, poetry was popular all over the country, and the poets at that time were admired, praised, admired, and sought after, and the poets were very popular and spirited, and no poet was lost.
However, with the decline of the genre of poetry, many poets have a huge psychological gap, feeling inextricable distress and depression, and many excellent poets have embarked on the road of no return.
Some newcomers in the poetry world today have long lost the level of the previous poets, just looking at Zhu Yaowei, who is praised as a "genius little poet", you can know what is the current situation in the poetry world......
But at this time, Wu Di was born with this extremely short "Generation"!
When many people were not optimistic about her, and even thought that she had abstained, she used such a classic hazy poem to tell everyone that her talent in poetry is beyond doubt!
Wu Di's opponent Zhu Yaoyi was completely stunned, he saw that great poets like "Nandao" were so touched by Wu Di's poem, and saw so many judges discussing this poem enthusiastically, he really felt unbelievable, he couldn't accept such a fact! (To be continued......)
