38. Gentle and generous (medium)

"Do you want to learn how to compose poetry?" Just when Gu Fang was at a loss, he heard Shao Qingyang ask again.

Poetry?

Of course, she thought about it, of course, Gu Yifang had also read textbooks such as "Gelu Poetry Writing", but unfortunately, she didn't understand it, and she didn't give up reading it more than once, but she still didn't understand. Therefore, writing poetry for her is still thousands of years away, thousands of feet high, and she seems to be able to only appreciate the poetry of her predecessors, but she cannot write her own feelings.

"I've seen some...... Books that teach metrical poetry, but ...... I can't read ...... at all, I'm so stupid. The heart is obviously infinitely longing, but the words are full of retreat, however, this kind of verbal retreat makes the infinite desire in the heart compressed into a deep grievance, and Gu Fang's eyes can't help but be a little sour.

"Do you like poetry?" Shao Qingyang didn't seem to notice her discomfort and embarrassment, and just continued to ask calmly.

"Loved it...... But ......" Gu Fang hesitated and said but, but he couldn't go on.

"Do you want to learn how to compose poetry?" Once again, Shao Qingyang's tone was clearly gentle, but it implied a momentum and persistence.

After two knocks, Gu Yifang finally gave up and retreated, lowered his head and replied, "I want to learn." ”

"That's good." Shao Qingyang said with a smile, "Then we can continue, let's first talk about the gap between teaching materials and teaching." ”

Gu Fang's heart was pounding, she knew that Shao Qingyang was laughing, but she didn't dare to look up at his smile, so she listened quietly.

"I don't know much about teaching in primary and secondary schools, but in college, teaching students to read textbooks is more important than teaching the content in textbooks, because in college, students mainly rely on self-study, and even more so after leaving college. It's three o'clock in the afternoon. Shao Qingyang said, suddenly changed the conversation, took out his mobile phone to look at the time, and put the mobile phone to the side, "The teacher will strive to teach you to compose poetry before two o'clock now, at least to get started." ”

Yes?

Is this a joke? Gu Yifang raised his head suddenly, looked at Shao Qingyang in surprise, his mouth opened slightly, and he wanted to say something but couldn't say anything.

Shao Qingyang said with a clear look: "Yes, it's not as difficult as you imagined, but it's okay, it all depends on your own efforts, concentrate now, maybe you can learn faster." ”

Gu Fang seemed to understand whether he understood or nodded.

Shao Qingyang said and took out the quaint paper and pen again, and said while writing: "The order of learning poetry is to first write poems and then words.

Historically, the poems are called near-style poems or modern style poems, and the 'near' and 'present' are from the perspective of the Tang Dynasty people, and they are used to distinguish the 'ancient style poems' before the Tang Dynasty.

In our time, the poets on the Internet refer to these 'ancient style poems', 'modern style poems', and the 'words' that began to appear in the late Tang Dynasty, that is, the later Song Ci Yuan Qu, all of which are called 'old style poems'.

This is a general development of poetry from ancient times to the present. Shao Qingyang said, handing the first piece of paper to Gu Yifang.

Gu Yifang took the paper and nodded, feeling a little nervous, Shao Qingyang's words have not cut to the chase, she is very worried, whether she can really learn to compose poetry in the next little time.

As if seeing Gu Fang's doubts, Shao Qingyang said unhurriedly: "Don't worry, it's important to understand the ins and outs, knowing this, you will understand why some rules and some orders are like this." You will also know why to learn poetry, you must first write poetry and then words, and get started with rhythmic poetry.

Because of the metrical poem, the structure, form, sound, and rhyme of the poem have reached a high degree of unity.

To put it simply, ancient style poems do not have such strict rhyme requirements, and the form of Song Ci Yuan Song is more lively. That's why I said that I knew how to rhyme poetry, and I knew everything. In short, to learn poetry, we must start with rhythmic poetry. ”

"Let's talk about the structure first, the structure is quite important, there are some words and sentences on the Internet that look very old-fashioned, and the sound and rhyme seem to be impeccable, but it will always make people read it subconsciously and feel strange, that is, there is a problem with the structure.

The structure is nothing more than four words, starting, bearing, turning, and combining, but it has always been the most difficult to explain. One of the more ingenious sayings I've seen is that composing a poem is to divide a turning sentence into four parts. The first half of the transition sentence is the beginning and the continuation, and the second half of the transition sentence is the transition and the combination. ”

Gu Yifang looked at the piece of paper handed to her by Shao Qingyang, the word "structure" was written on the top line, and two lines were written below, "The first half of the transition sentence = start + inherit" and "The second half of the transition sentence = turn + combine." ”

To compose a poem is to divide a turning sentence into four parts. This statement is fresh, and it is unheard of in books, so Gu Yifang began to search for the simplest textbook Tang poems in his mind to try to disassemble:

'The bright moonlight in front of the bed is suspected to be frost on the ground. = Turn the first half of this sentence

Raise your head to look at the bright moon and bow your head to think of your hometown. = The second half of the transition sentence, but it is not frost on the ground, the hometown that the author misses.

On the afternoon of hoeing day, sweat drops into the soil. = Turn the first half of this sentence

Who knows that Chinese food is hard work. = The second half of the inflection sentence, but who knows that the food we eat is so hard to grow. ’

It seems to make sense to dismantle two songs like this, but it seems that I can't fully convince myself.

Seeing that Gu Fang seemed to be meditating, Shao Qingyang smiled: "Behind it is an example. As he spoke, he blinked, looking a little mischievous.

Gu Yifang turned over the paper, only to see four sentences written on the back:

The arrows of the great names of the kingdoms are sharp,

The eyes of the needlework girl are sharper than knives and arrows,

The great names of the kingdoms killed with swords and arrows,

The girl in the needlework kills with her eyes.

"Poof-" Looking at this example, Gu Yifang couldn't help laughing, and also understood why Shao Qingyang had such a look, I have to say that this example is really vivid and interesting. It's just a word like "the name of the country", which looks a little awkward, and it doesn't seem to be something native to China.

This doubt in her heart was quickly solved by Shao Qingyang, and she only heard Shao Qingyang say: "Don't say it in the future, I use this example to teach you to start and turn together, especially in front of Zijin, this is a smooth slip used by Fusang to teach the transition and change." ”

"Understood." Gu Yifang looked at this example twice, couldn't help but laugh and laugh, and finally coughed lightly and asked, "Teacher Shao, I have a question...... that ...... One of Du Fu's quatrains is, 'Two yellow orioles sing green willows, and a line of egrets go up to the blue sky.' The window contains a thousand autumn snow in Xiling, and the door is berthed in the Dongwu Wanli ship. In this song, it seems to ...... ...... there is no twist? When I searched for these four sentences in my mind, after dismantling them in my mind, I felt that there was no turning point, so I had some doubts.

Shao Qingyang nodded and said: "This question is very good, let me add, first of all, use a turning sentence to explain the transition sentence, just to facilitate understanding, not to say that the transition is a turning sentence." How to start and turn is that you have to constantly explore and improve in the process of writing poems. Secondly, about Du Fu's poem, it seems that it is a juxtaposed declarative sentence about the scenery, but in fact, there is a turning point of sight and color contrast. This quatrain, the first couplet's "two yellow orioles singing green willows, a line of egrets on the blue sky" describes a relatively close landscape, but also a goose yellow and green, full of vitality of the typical spring scene, as the author's line of sight with the egret away, there is a turn from the near view to the long view, he turned his gaze to the distant mountains with snow, the river docked boats. ”

After hearing this, Gu Yifang suddenly realized, it turned out that she still thought about the beginning and the end by herself, thinking too simply, and after Shao Qingyang's words, she had a clearer idea of the structure of the poem.
