When it comes to the compilation of lyrics, Li Tong also has his own considerations.

Although at the moment, he is the absolute great master in this aspect, if the reserves in his mind are fully exerted, there is no difficulty in beating the whole Tang. But a premise that needs to be considered is that what he needs to write now is a Yanle song with a theme of singing praises of virtue, rather than a poetry show that simply belongs to himself.

After substituting such a restriction, those with strong style, prominent emotion, and satire of the past and the present need to be eliminated. The first criterion for selecting poems is political correctness, the second criterion is to sing praises of virtue, the third criterion requires elegance, and there is a more implicit requirement, that is, the need for style convergence.

If it is only the first three requirements, it is actually very easy to meet, that is, the poems that should be made throughout the Tang Dynasty. In short, the poems are sycophants, the format and interest are very similar, and there is no shortage of good works. After all, even if it's a sycophant, different people shoot it differently.

Let's not talk about Shangguan Yi, the big hand of poetry in the early Tang Dynasty, his granddaughter Shangguan Wan'er weighed the world There was a famous scene, that is, during the period of Li Xian of Tang Zhongzong, a poem should be made in the imperial garden, and the poetry master Song Zhiwen and Shen Yan also attended the meeting.

It can be seen that even if it is a sycophant, the style and mood are very different. Big hands like Wang Wei and Li Bai are comparable to ordinary people?

Although Li Tong is full of luxury, now that he has an opportunity to copy and copy, he still has to maintain relative unity in style, at least not too obvious changes.

So is there a genre of poetry that meets all four of these requirements at the same time? There really is!

"Hualin Fangjing is all over the spring, and the auspicious day is close to the ministers. The kite flies and the bird is delicate, and the butterfly dances on the low branches to reflect the beauty. The green contains the fog on the side of the willow bridge, and the clouds on the water of the hibiscus are clear. The garden is full of alocasia, and the golden urn and jade plate give eight treasures. ”

In the spring of March, the beautiful scenery of the imperial garden, choose an auspicious day and order the ministers to follow the garden. Kite flies and birds cry between the flowers and trees, and beautiful butterflies dance, which makes the beauty more delicate. The willows on the side of the bridge are hazy like mist, and the hibiscus on the water is like colorful clouds floating. The fruits of the garden and the seafood of the sea were all conceived by heaven and earth, and now they are presented to the ministers by the king in beautiful vessels.

This poem has no name, because it is the reprocessing of Li Tong after dismantling the bones and peeling the skin, using the five laws of Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty and the seven laws of Yang Shiqi, a scholar of the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, the season must be wrong, but this mainly shows that this kind of poetry has a similar style, empty content, and no personality, and Li Shimin's five laws are even less neat than Yang Shiqi in terms of rhythm duality.

Yang Shiqi belongs to a poetry genre, that is, the Taige style of the Ming Dynasty. Taige style belongs to a secluded subcategory in ancient poetry, summarizing its characteristics, the theme praises the saintly virtue, the song is peaceful, the art form seeks the beauty, the accent of the rhythm, and the elegance, but in the content is mediocre, the beak is one sound.

In short, the Taige style is a special poetic style for sycophants, with gorgeous forms, empty content, and very superficial and similar. As a result, the life of the art of the Taige style was not long-lasting, and it gradually died out after the change of the civil fort, so that in the future, except for some academic research, there was almost no sense of existence.

However, no matter what shortcomings it has, the Taige style poetry almost completely meets Li Tong's requirements at this stage, with beautiful form, neat vocal rhythm, elegant physique, and similar content.

Although it is said that in the era when the Tang Dynasty poetry is about to begin, it is really a bit self-willed to copy the poetry style that has no artistic vitality at all. But the copyist still needs to consider his own practical needs, even if he copies Li Bai Dufu and Liu Yongsu Shi, what's the use? Do you really want to pursue the sorrow of the young king's longevity?

No matter how weak the vitality of the art of the pavilion is, there is still a relatively complete inheritance line. However, in the early Tang Dynasty, Shangguanti was really in addition to Shangguanyi, which was basically broken, but it was enough to make Shangguanyi the crown of the poetry world for a while.

Li Tong is not without long-term calculations, but the problem is that he needs to get through the present first, so that he can have the opportunity to continue to break through himself in the future and lead Tang poetry to a real prosperous era.

Therefore, at present, copying the Taiwan Pavilion style, although it means that some people do evil ways and do not learn well, it perfectly fits Li Tong's personal needs.

There is a very important feature of the Taige body, that is, all the creators are important ministers of the Taige like Sanyang, they are extremely human ministers, and they really have the feeling of bathing in the emperor's grace, so many of their poems are a little numb in the eyes of others, which happens to be their own real feelings.

Let me ask, what kind of sycophant can be so clever that I believe it is true, and even I am paralyzed?

In the later generations, the disappearance of the Taige body, in addition to its own artistic style is not high, but also because the harmonious relationship between the monarch and the minister in the Sanyang period of the Ming Dynasty is gone, and naturally there is no real feeling of deep immersion in the emperor's grace, singing and singing.

Of course, although there are many good pavilion styles, there is one bad thing, that is, it is too remote, which makes the difficulty of copying skyrocketing.

However, when it comes to this issue, Li Tong really has to say proudly: "I'm sorry, this topic was chosen in order to mix diplomas back then!" Although these poems are rare, they also analyzed a little bit of meat and eight vegetarians back then. ”

It is precisely because of such a foundation of education that Li Tong has the confidence to write a lyric theme like "Vientiane". Although there are many famous poems in the Tang Dynasty, they all have strong styles, rich feelings, and high artistic attainments, but they are really not suitable for use as a face engineering song.

The theme, content and interest of Taige style poetry are highly convergent, and one consequence of this is that if you don't look at the title of the poem, you can't even tell whether these 100 poems are written about one thing or not. Moreover, it is normal for a poem to be composed with a title and rhyme, and it is normal for several or a dozen poems to be composed in the same rhyme.

In the face of such a fertile soil, Li Tong really has no polite reason, so he is naturally like flying, not adding points, and relying on a thousand words.

What is the hardest job to make a big song?

To judge the degree of difficulty, there is actually a very simple criterion, that is, to look at the social status of these practitioners. Although ritual music is a solemn thing in the national style, the vast majority of Chinese musicians, voices, songs and dances, instrumental music, etc., belong to lowly status, and even cannot intermarry with good families outside their origins.

However, there are exceptions to this, and that is the Kyoriro, who belongs to Taichang or Sereiji Temple.

In ancient times, the official position that could be called "Lang" was almost not simple, and Xielulang was naturally no exception. Although it is only subordinate to the eight-rank official position of Taichang, it is an official appointed by scholars and scholars, and it is an important starting point for official careers.

The so-called de-browning means taking off the short brown cloth clothes on the body and changing into official robes.

For example, Taile Cheng Baifen, who is currently busy compiling music, although he was born in a musical family and has a father who has been in several dynasties, even if he has served as the second-in-command of the Taile Department, he is still one level behind Xielulang, who has just entered the officialdom.

There is a saying in the officialdom of the Tang Dynasty that correction is not entered, and the law should be observed. It is about the official position of the official Xie Brown, and the Pavilion School Shulang and Zhengzi are the first choice, and the Xielulang is second only to these two.

After this period of time in the teaching workshop, Li Tong also understands the process of compiling many songs, and Taichang music is divided into two parts, lyrics and music books. Among them, the music book is the dance music tune and the like, which belongs to the main job of the musicians of all kinds of fan.

However, the lyrics were not managed by Taichang, but were composed by scholars from the two museums and Hanlin scholars. The logic behind this creative mode of separation of lyrics is very simple, that is, dance and writing make ink, you too often cheap musicians are not worthy!

Li Tong renovated the old songs before, and the reason why there was no hindrance was because the ones he renovated were small songs, miscellaneous tunes and other loose music and vulgar songs. However, if he wants to make a new or refurbished song, his lyrics also need to be recognized by Taile Ling, Xielulang and others, and the words can be selected into the music before they can be officially preserved in Yuefu.

In other words, even if Li Bai and Du Fu's level of literary brilliance cannot be officially recognized, the words are selected and included in the music, they are still playing underground music.

Li Tong's original intention in compiling the "Vientiane" song was to stage it on the most solemn and high-end occasions in the empire, and naturally it could not be disseminated underground.

And now the time is very tight, he needs to get his lyrics officially certified in the shortest possible time, so that he can join the music for rehearsal as soon as possible. If you are stuck in this area for ten days and half a month, I am afraid that even if it is arranged, you will miss the big drink.

Therefore, the elegant, beautiful, large and hollow pavilion body is also one of the few choices he has at present. Even if you don't talk about whether Xue Huaiyi's majesty is easy to use or not, whoever can find fault in the stable Taige-style poetry can basically conclude that he is deliberately finding faults.

There are many poems in the mind that can be piled up and quoted, saving the time to quote the classics and painstakingly carving, it only took two days, a long poem was laid, this is still because there is a big difference between the Ming Dynasty style and the application of allusions and the present, the real creation only took a few hours, and the remaining day and a half time is mainly to catch insects and modify.

After the poem was completed, Li Tong immediately instructed Taile Cheng Baifen to send it back to the Taile Department, and handed it over to Taile Ling and others to read the selected words and arrange for the music as soon as possible. As for the efficiency is so amazing, will it be a little weird?

Let's put it this way, I've been thinking about how to shoot my grandmother's sycophants since I was literate, and if you can think about a subject without interruption for five or six years, you can also have this kind of efficiency. As for my shallow learning and weakness, it is difficult to occupy the alliance?

That's really a summer worm, you don't know what kind of potential a person who has reached the realm of my loyalty and filial piety can burst out!

A 35-6-year-old civil official in a scarlet robe hurriedly entered the inner workshop under the guidance of the eunuch, and as soon as he entered the straight hall, he raised the poem manuscript in his hand, looked at the people in the hall and asked urgently: "Who wrote this song of "Vientiane"? ”
