Chapter 534: A Word of Poetry
Shangyuan Poetry Club, this is already an unwritten rule among the scholars of Chang'an, every Shangyuan Festival, these scholars will find a place to get together, and then compose poems on the theme of Shangyuan, and wait until the sixteenth night, will select the best one among all the poems, listed as the poet. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Every year, the Shangyuan Poetry Conference is the opportunity for Chang'an scholars to compete to show their talents, and this year is just in time for the imperial examination, not only Chang'an scholars participated, but also scholars from other places came, and this is also a good opportunity to make a name for themselves.
It is precisely because of the above reasons that this year's Shangyuan Poetry Conference is also more lively, and because there are too many participants, it has been evaluated once yesterday, some poems that are too poor have been eliminated, and the rest are all the best poems, and the poets are selected from these dozens of poems.
It was also at this time that Hat'er and Qi Niang broke in again in men's clothes, and they were full of confidence, after all, they came prepared today.
"Hey, aren't these two little sons from yesterday, why are they here again today, do you still want to compose poems?" As soon as Qi Niang and Hat'er came in, they immediately attracted the attention of others, only to see that at this time there was a slightly chubby reader who smiled and said, when Qi Niang and they came yesterday, the readers present could see that they were women, but no one said anything, and they also made a joke with them.
"Hmph, we already said yesterday, we will definitely come back today to take revenge, aren't you laughing at us that we can't compose poetry, let me show you what poetry is today!" Qi Niang stood up very arrogantly at this time with her hands on her hips.
"Huh? The little girl has such a big breath, could it be that you have become a poet overnight? Hearing Qi Niang's words, I saw a young man with a short beard also stand up with some dissatisfaction and said, it was the previous Dongming brother, yesterday he also had a joking mentality, and squeezed Qi Niang and Ha Er, and now people come to retaliate, he naturally can't be a turtle with a shrunken head.
"Okay, you...... You even know that we are women, and yesterday they bullied us, and today I have to give you a little color! When Qi Niang heard the other party call herself a little girl, she immediately said even more unhappily, but the hater behind her was a little embarrassed, and kept quietly pulling her clothes, but Qi Niang still refused to let go.
"Then I want to see what you little girl is capable of?" Brother Dongming didn't get angry, anyway, he smiled again, and the people around him also had a good look on their faces, and it was very interesting to encounter this kind of thing at the poetry meeting.
"Here you go, look at what poetry is, the girls you wrote are not rare at all!" I saw Qi Niang take out a piece of paper from her sleeve angrily at this time, and then threw it into Brother Dongming's arms, she remembered this short beard, it was he who took the lead in coaxing yesterday, so that she and Ha'er couldn't get off the stage, in comparison, the little white face next to him was much better, and he also helped them talk.
Brother Dongming smiled and took the paper that Qi Niang threw over, and he didn't take it too seriously in his heart, in his opinion, these two little ladies were probably deflated here yesterday, so they asked someone to make poems to save face after they went back, but they are all the best among the scholars, even if this little girl has some background, but finding someone to ghostwrite the poem is not necessarily better than them.
"Clothes and makeup are everywhere, and the lights on the sixth street are noisy for children. What am I doing in the cheongsam, but also in the laughter of tourists. As Brother Dongming read out the poems on the paper, the expression on his face became more and more solemn.
The people around also slowly changed from laughter to seriousness, just four lines of poetry, but the scene of swaying light and shadow of the Shangyuan Festival, rippling with joy was completely presented, and the contrast between the gowns and dazzling makeup was subtle and moving, meaningful, and evocative, and it was definitely a masterpiece.
"What is a 'cheongsam, what am I doing, but also in the laughter of tourists', this poetic conception is far above me, I admit defeat!" After a while, I saw that Brother You Shao behind Brother Dongming suddenly sighed, and admitted defeat very simply, although there is no first, but the other party's poem is above him in terms of artistic conception and diction, which is not convincing.
Although this Brother You Shao is young, he is a famous poet in this group of scholars, and this Shangyuan Poetry Club is also the most likely to win the poetry championship with his poems, but he didn't expect that even he took the initiative to admit defeat, and this poem is indeed a rare masterpiece, for a while they couldn't even find a refutation, so they could only look at each other, and the scene was suddenly cold.
"Giggle~, you know it's amazing, let you look down on people yesterday, and now you know what it means to have someone outside of people, right?" Seeing that these scholars in front of her were all stupid, Qi Niang finally couldn't help but laugh coquettishly, now she finally spilled all the anger she suffered yesterday.
"Little girl, you ...... Don't be too arrogant, isn't it just a poem, do you have the ability to write another poem? At this time, Brother Dongming was angry, and pointed to Qi Niang and said loudly, although he knew that this poem must have been written by someone on behalf of the other party, but there was no evidence, and even if there was evidence, the other party would not admit it, so he wanted Qi Niang to make another poem, as long as Qi Niang couldn't make it herself, it would naturally be exposed.
"Giggle~, how about making another song, I'll convince you today!" Qi Niang was very proud when she heard this, and after she finished speaking, she gestured to the hater behind her, because another poem written by Li Xiu was memorized by Qi Niang.
Seeing Qi Niang's gesture to herself, she was still a little shy, she didn't expect that she was still recognized as a woman in men's clothes, so in the face of so many scholars, she was also a little timid, and she didn't dare to step forward for a while, but Qi Niang was a little impatient when she saw this, and immediately turned around and pushed her to the front.
In the face of this situation, Hate Er couldn't help it, she was going to recite the poems in front of everyone, but now she couldn't open her mouth, and finally simply followed the example of Qi Niang, took out the poems hidden in her sleeves, and wanted to throw them to the hateful Brother Dongming, but she was embarrassed, and finally found that Brother You Shao, thinking that the other party was still very friendly to her yesterday, so she walked over and handed over the poems in her hand to the other party.
Brother Dongming didn't expect that the other party really prepared a second poem, and with the previous poem as the foundation, no one dared to underestimate Qi Niang this time, and everyone gathered around Brother You Shao at the moment, planning to see what kind of masterpiece it was this time?
"It's a long or short sentence?" As soon as he saw the sentences on the paper, someone immediately shouted, and even with a little disdain in his tone. Long and short sentences are actually words, and in the era of the Tang Dynasty, long and short sentences are not very popular, and their status is far inferior to that of poetry, and there are no good works of long and short sentences that have been circulated, so people who write poems generally disdain to be invalid.
"The east wind blooms thousands of trees at night, and blows down, and the stars are like rain.
The BMW carved car is full of incense, the sound of Feng Xiao moves, the pot light turns, and the fish and dragon dance all night.
The moth snow willow is golden, and the smile is full of dark fragrance.
The crowd looked for him thousands of times, and suddenly looked back, but the person was there, in the place of the fire. ”
However, as the Dongming brother recited this "Qingyu Case" in a subdued tone, everyone was quiet, not to mention anything else, just the opening sentence "Thousands of trees bloom on the night of the east wind", it has already achieved the effect of taking the lead, and every sentence, every word, and even every word after that, makes people feel like sitting in the clouds, admiring a wonderful picture scroll during the Shangyuan Festival, it can be said that this long and short sentence came out, almost all the Shangyuan poems were eclipsed.
The crowd looked for him thousands of times, and suddenly looked back, but the man was there, in the place of the fire...... Suddenly looking back, the person was there, and ...... at Huo Yanshan, "I saw that after Brother You Shao recited this poem, he couldn't help chewing on the artistic conception of the last sentence repeatedly, and his face also showed a look of intoxication, and he also found out for the first time that the original long and short sentences were so charming, and the poem just now was already considered a masterpiece, but compared with this long and short sentence, it was also inferior, not to mention their own poems.
Not only is Brother You Shao savoring this "Qingyu Case", but Brother Dongming and other readers next to him are also addicted to the artistic conception in the words one by one, and they can't come back to their senses for a long time, and after a while, I only heard one of them sigh and say: "What a long and short sentence, it can be written so vividly on the Shangyuan Festival, I'm afraid that only the first Yuan Xi of Li Xiu, the Duke of Yan Guo, can be compared with it!" ”
The so-called Yuan Xi of Li Xiu actually refers to the first life chazi written by Li Xiu on the night of the last Yuan Dynasty, which has the sentence "The moon reaches the willow top, and the person is about after dusk", which is widely circulated by readers in the Tang Dynasty.
"Yes, Yan Guogong's first Yuan Xi is a poem to convey love, it is really a masterpiece handed down to the world, in contrast, although this long and short sentence is eclectic, but every word is beautiful, especially the last sentence that everyone is looking for him thousands of times, it is simply wonderful, you can write love and ambition, it is really difficult to distinguish between the superior and the inferior!" At this time, another scholar exclaimed loudly, this Shangyuan poetry club is estimated to be recorded in the history books of the Tang Dynasty, because it has changed the views of the Tang Dynasty readers on long and short sentences.
The above two scholars' words have also been approved by other people, and it is rare to see such excellent long and short sentences, so they can't help but discuss them in a low voice, that Brother You Shao also praised this long and short sentence, but all of them are more curious about Qi Niang and the people behind them, and they can't think of anyone in the entire Tang Dynasty who has such a talent and can even write long and short sentences so well!
"That's not necessarily, although this long and short sentence is good, but in my opinion, it is still Yan Guogong's first Yuan Xi that is better!" But at this moment, I suddenly saw that Dongming brother was very unconvinced, although he admitted that this long and short sentence was very good, but as soon as he wanted to lose to the hands of the two little girls, his heartbeat was still very unwilling, so he deliberately praised the first Yuanxi.
"Nonsense, my eldest brother said it, compared to the previous Yuan Xi, he prefers this long and short sentence!" When Qi Niang heard Brother Dongming's words, she blurted out very unconvinced, but she didn't think that this sentence had revealed her identity.
