Chapter 165: I've seen a shameless one, but I've never seen such a shameless one

Xu is to see that the participants have many Taoist scholars, the topic given by this literary meeting is also very broad, "Yin" Yong landscape, river rafting or something can be, after understanding the poem topic, Meng Haoran walked on the grass in the garden with his hands strolling in the poetry, Tang Cheng saw this, did not bother much, and was free to contemplate and reminisce on the other side.

Because of the wide range of this poem title, there is a wide range of choices, and after a while, Tang Cheng has already thought of a poem of seven uniques, and when he found a book and a few poems, the boy who came to serve Mo looked at him in surprise, wondering why this scholar in brocade clothes was still muttering while writing poems.

"Wei Yingwu Wei Da Poet, this time I want to borrow your poems for use, you are extremely talented, without this one, maybe it can inspire you to write a more popular famous article, brother, I really can't help it", while muttering in his mouth, Tang Cheng's twenty-eight words of the seven uniques have also been written, the ink boy Xu is very fond of Tang Cheng's demeanor, and when he dried the ink to take the poem, he praised it: "Good words!" ”。

Tang Cheng was also very satisfied with this eight-point Kai Tang Cheng wrote, hearing the boy's praise, he smiled and nodded in thanks, and at this moment, Meng Haoran, who had conceived it, came over.

The conjecture with Tang Cheng is good, and Meng Haoran, who has a tranquil heart but is not arrogant, really did not choose regular script and slightly inferior official script in calligraphy, but used a light and elegant calligraphy.

""Qingxi Boating", Meng Haoran wrote, and Tang Chengbian, who was watching from the side, whispered "groan":

The scenery is clear, and the creek is lightly lit.

Cheng Ming loves water things, and he is tolerant of it.

White-headed angler, new makeup raccoon yarn girl.

It seems to be acquaintance, but the pulse is silent.

The sunset sprinkled with cool brilliance, and a flat boat was "swinging" between the small islands of Qingxi. In the clear water, the fish and shrimp swim freely, and they swim in the water and wander leisurely. The white-haired old man by the stream is leisurely fishing, and the lively and beautiful reflection of the girl with new makeup and yarn on the other side is gently "swinging" in the stream. Looks up by chance and looks familiar. The two smiled and looked at each other without a word.

This is a poem that expresses the seven words of the evening boating, especially the description of the last two sentences, between the white-headed man in the white coat and the woman with new makeup, the love is pure and pure, and it is all out of the mundane. Although the sentences of this poem are plain, so light that there are almost no traces of poetry, the poetic taste is extremely mellow. As for the previous sentences, although the scene is not intended to seek work, it is clear and transcendent, in the leisure and shallowness. Revealing the spring flow stone, the wind comes to the sound of Panasonic.

"It's a 'look like acquaintance, but the veins are silent'", Meng Haoran finished writing, and Tang Cheng praised after finishing his 'chanting': "Young brother's poem 'Yin' by boat is washed and cut closely, and the pure thoughts and light language are just integrated with the Mingxiu poetry, and the beauty of the landscape shown by this is more natural and pure, a good masterpiece." If my expectations are correct, there will be a young brother in the top three of this meeting."

"Brother Tang is too famous, this poem should not be praised so much," Meng Haoran smiled and thanked him. "However, these points commented by Brother Tang are deeply rooted in my heart, and it is difficult to find a good friend, how fortunate it is!"

After the two looked at each other and smiled, Meng Haoran naturally asked what Tang Cheng had written.

"I don't dare to be presumptuous about this one I recorded." A good poem is a good poem, and it can be tested for more than 1,300 years, and Tang Cheng can not tolerate it, and he deliberately uses "recording" instead of "doing", which can be regarded as self-consolation in the style of covering his ears and stealing the bell, "the young brother can hear it later".

If there are many people participating like today, only the poems that rank among the top three will be widely recited. Tang Cheng's meaning is that the poems he recorded will definitely be among the top three.

"What a confident bearing", Meng Haoran laughed when he heard this, "A certain ear is listening."

Confident, of course Tang Cheng is confident! Such a small literary meeting, Wei Yingwu's famous works can't enter the top three? He is not only full of confidence in the poem he recorded, but also full of confidence in "Clear Creek Rafting" written by Meng Haoran.

The idea is very beautiful, but the reality is very cruel, and it is a matter of course for Tang Cheng to come to the top three. But the final announcement of the Wenhui turned out to be so unbearable. The poems of Wei Yingwu and Meng Haoran's "Qingxi Boating" recorded by him did not enter the top three, and even the five subsequent poems were only praised by name.

The scene in front of him completely stunned Tang Cheng. So much so that after the results were recited, he listened to them in a daze for a while before he looked at Meng Haoran in disbelief and said, "Without us?" ”。

"Yes or no", Meng Haoran was also disappointed, but the expression on his face was much calmer than Tang Cheng, "The first person in this literary meeting is He Zhongda, who, the one sitting in the middle of the pavilion, is also the leader of the Daocheng poetry circle and the organizer of today's literary meeting; The second place is that next to him sits the king of the earth, Qunyu; Look at the young gentleman who is standing in the middle of the pavilion, he is the third place."

After Meng Haoran finished speaking, he saw Tang Cheng standing there with a surprised face, thinking that he was too disappointed and in a difficult mood, so he reached out and patted him on the shoulder, "It's nothing, but what kind of poem did you write, Brother Tang, you can now 'chant' to listen to it."

The lonely grass stream grows on the side, and there are yellow orioles singing deep trees. The spring "tide" brings rain and comes in a hurry, and the wild ferry is unmanned by boat.

Tang Cheng casually "groaned" Wei Yingwu's classic "Chuzhou West Stream". The reason why his face was strange at this time was not because of disappointment, but because of shock.

Damn, this is too bullish, Meng Haoran's song and don't care about it, he recorded this "Chuzhou West Stream" in the Tang Dynasty Wei Suzhou model masterpiece, since the day the poem was written, it has been recited by students of all generations for more than 1,300 years.

"Why nothing? This...... This ......", the result in front of him was so unexpected that he was extremely shocked, and he even rarely couldn't even speak, "Young brother, aren't you angry?" By the way, what is the poem that ranks among the top three?"

Meng Haoran said with a wry smile after reciting the top three poems he had just heard: "The result has been announced, why should you be angry?" ”。

"These three poems are just decent at most, and they can also get the top three?" , Tang Cheng said in his mouth, the person was about to rush to the pavilion as soon as he took a step, but as soon as his body moved, he was pulled by Meng Haoran from behind. "Brother Tang, this is the Wenhui, you can't be reckless."

"I'm going to theorize, not fight. Haoran, you let go of me".

"What's the theory?" , Meng Haoran walked around to Tang Cheng and blocked his way, "Then He Zhongda and Wang Qunyu are both fifty or sixty-year-old old poets, they are teachers and elders in terms of seniority, and they are the leaders of Shannan literary circles in terms of identity." This is another Wenhui, Brother Tang, you have to have a reputation for disrespecting the teacher, which is a stain that cannot be washed away in my lifetime for my generation of scholars. And with the influence of the two of them in the Taoist woodland, as long as you criticize you for two sentences, although Brother Tang will not be defeated, but the 'name split' under the crowd is certain. Brother Tang. I can't go, I can't go."

"Good, good, good", although Tang Cheng is really angry in his heart now. But he is not a reckless person, after listening to Meng Haoran's analysis of the stakes, he no longer rushes forward, stops his steps, gritted his teeth and says, "I'm not going." If you don't go, it's just

For a while, the two of them were a little silent, and the poetry reviews in the pavilion also came with the wind, at this time it was Wang Qunyu, who was over fifty years old, who was shaking his head and commenting on He Zhongda's poems, Tang Cheng only listened to a few words, and he felt nauseous in his heart, and the goosebumps all over his body were about to rise.

Who is Ho Chung Tat? Tang Cheng not only had never heard his poems. I don't have any impression of this name, what does it mean, it means that the so-called leader of the Shannan Dongdao poetry circle in front of me is not even a third-rate poet in the entire history of Tang poetry, or his name will not even be mentioned in the history of ancient literature in the future.

"Disgusting, it's disgusting", Tang Cheng, who couldn't listen to a few words, couldn't listen to it anymore, and pulled Meng Haoran suddenly, "Go." lest they defile their ears".

Turned around and took a few steps. Xu is what Wang Qunyu said, and his voice is getting louder and louder. Occasionally, there are many students who praise and echo the voices.

At this point, Tang Cheng couldn't hold back any longer, raised his head and laughed and said in a long voice: "Praise each other, Tian is shameless!" This is the He Yuan Cultural Society? Lao Tzu has seen shameless, but I have never seen such shameless! Top three? Hmph, bullshit doesn't make sense, it's better than who is thick-skinned."

As soon as Tang Cheng said this, he was really shocked, and in an instant, the pavilion, which was still lively just now, suddenly fell silent.

Hearing this change behind him, Tang Cheng, who kept walking, suddenly pulled Meng Haoran to his side, "Don't look back", and after he finished speaking, he laughed even more wantonly and mockingly.

For decades, how could anyone have dared to criticize the leader of the Taoist poetry circle as fiercely as Tang Cheng at the literary meeting? When the results were announced just now, Tang Cheng was stunned, and now the people in the pavilion were stunned, and when they reacted from the shock, Tang Cheng and the others, who had never turned their heads, had bypassed the flower path and disappeared.

"It's just two crazy people", in the middle of the pavilion, He Zhongda, who had just closed his eyes and smiled, turned slightly red, and then regained that lofty expression, "Who in the audience knows these two crazy students?" ”。

Tang Cheng and the two of them had just arrived in Daocheng not long ago, and they didn't turn their heads at all when they laughed and spoke just now, who could know? After everyone looked at each other, they shook their heads in unison.

"The younger generations are young and sharp, and they are also grounded in their wild words, Wenshan, they will make amends to you on their behalf, and I hope you don't want to be angry", Wen Yan looked around the pavilion for a week, He Zhongda smiled and continued to say to Wang Qunyu: "Mo because they spoiled the interest of this elegant gathering, Wenshan, how about you continue to make a tasting review for the younger generations?" ”。

"Zhong Weng is kind and good-hearted", after Wang Qunyu praised it, he responded like a "tide", and in a moment the inside and outside of the pavilion returned to the lively appearance just now.

Xu Shiwen has been starting for a long time, and the few subordinates who were guarding the door when they came didn't know where they were transferred.

"Brother Tang is still too reckless, don't let them write you down, after all, you are now a Taoist student", walking out of He Yuan, Meng Haoran first looked at Tang Cheng a little helplessly, and then smiled and said: "But those few words won my heart."

"Reckless? No", Tang Cheng shook his head, "I am deliberate, as long as I don't catch it on the spot, then he will have to talk about what he says", said here. Tang Cheng smiled after a slight pause: "To be honest, I really want to have such an opportunity to have a good relationship with He and Wang."

When Meng Haoran heard this, he turned his head to look at Tang Cheng in surprise.

"Barefoot are not afraid of wearing shoes", Tang Cheng also turned his head and said with a smile: "Haoran, you don't know, for us and other backwards, arguing with their so-called predecessors is a big shortcut to fame."

"Ugh!". When Meng Haoran heard this, he choked as if he was choking on drinking water, and then he cried and laughed: "It's also notorious, if it's something else, Shilin can't tolerate this."

After finishing speaking, Meng Haoran groaned for a while, suddenly stopped and looked at Tang Chengdao: "Brother Tang, I don't know if I should say a word."

Seeing Meng Haoran's solemn face. Tang Cheng stopped, "If there is anything you can't say between friends, you just say it."

"Brother Tang's desire for fame is too earnest, and he thinks that this is not a good thing. Everything in the world is in vain, and fame and fortune must be sought. But don't ask for too much, otherwise you will be mentally unstable, and if you are small, your studies will be affected, and if you are large, you will be "lost". My brother must not quit."

Tang Cheng didn't expect Meng Haoran to say such a thing, but thinking about his geocentric "sex" and poetic style, he felt that it was really normal for him to say such a thing, and this was what Meng Haoran should have said.

Tang Cheng did not seek fame for the sake of grandstanding, his goal is very clear, after meeting the basic requirements of survival and life, he is now striving for self-satisfaction in a higher sense of life, and this higher meaning of satisfaction is ideal. And seeking fame now is the first step in the pursuit of ideals. As a traveler with a stronger sense of self, he didn't feel that there was anything wrong with pursuing his ideals, but as a friend, Tang Cheng was also moved by Meng Haoran's remarks.

Friends are the most worthy friends to make and cherish.

Ay! Let's seek common ground while reserving differences, the way for friends to get along with each other can be "harmony but difference", Tang Cheng nodded with a smile, did not argue with Meng Haoran, but changed the topic and said: "Young Brother Meng." Are you really not angry when you heard the results? ”。

"Of course angry. But again, what good is anger? ”。 After doing his best to be a friend, Meng Haoran smiled with satisfaction, "The poetry world is probably like this, and Brother Tang will naturally get used to it when he sees more."

"That's what poetry is all about?".

"Ah, that's right", seeing Tang Cheng's surprised face, Meng Haoran smiled very gently, "Brother Tang rarely participated in literary meetings before, right?" ”。

"This is the second time".

"It's no wonder you're so angry today", Meng Haoran explained with a smile: "In fact, the literary world is no different from other industries, the greater the fame, the greater the profit, and the new people want to be famous, but the people who have become famous in front of them are unwilling to retreat, so there is no contradiction, and over time, the literary world has also formed its own unique road to fame."

"Well, it makes sense", although this was different from what Tang Cheng imagined, he had to admit that what Meng Haoran said was indeed reasonable, "Then how about following this road to fame?" ”。

"For example, Brother Tang, you have now entered Taoism, and if you have the status of a Taoist student, you will be accepted by the Daocheng literary circle, at this time, Brother Tang, if you want to become famous, you should follow the right path to participate in the literary meeting more, and first make friends with He Zhongda and other people, this is the first step, and you must not be impatient at this stage; When you get acquainted with everyone, you should praise the poems of others when you hear them in the literary society, so as to win the favor of everyone, especially the poems of the old people."

Meng Haoran continued as he walked: "Of course, this is not enough, Brother Tang, you still need to find the one who is most suitable for the spleen and stomach among the elders, or the person who admires you the most, and deliberately befriended him." For example, if he wants to collect poems and publish them, then you have to take the initiative to take on the chores such as proofreading and contacting the engraving society, and publicizing the poetry collection after it is published. For example, if there is a Mongolian school, then you should pay more attention to help teach and contact Mengtong on weekdays. In addition to the diligent visit on weekdays, during the New Year's holidays, the accompanying gifts that should be prepared are also negligent and brief. Day after day, the old man will treat you with a green eye, and when he meets the literary meeting, he will praise your poems, and when he interacts with others or writes back, he will also deliberately mention your character and talent, so that your reputation will slowly spread, if you can do this, then you will stand out from your peers, and your fame will not be far away. As for how famous it will be in the end. It's up to you to talent."

"First mix a familiar face, then carry a sedan chair to say good things, and then find a backer to wait for him to be comfortable, and then he will carry him to become famous, this is the formal path to fame, Brother Meng, can I summarize it right?"

"What is a sedan chair?" , Meng Haoran asked puzzled. Nodding his head, he said, "That's right, of course, if it's a wealthy family or a child of the Shilin family, then it's another matter."

"How long will it take to follow this path to become famous?"

"It depends on whether the old man you are looking for or the person who introduces you is harsh or not, if you meet such a broad-minded person who loves to carry the younger generations, if you don't rely purely on water grinding kung fu to grind, three or five years. Seven or eight years, or even ten years, is worth it, even if it takes ten years to become famous. Brother Tang, think about it, how many new students enter the literary world every year? None of these people want to be famous, but how many of them can achieve some fame in the end? It's like the Ministry of Rites exam. There are thousands of scholars who take the exam, but only a dozen or so people can finally make it to the gold list every year."

At this point, Meng Haoran turned his head, "That's why I will persuade Brother Tang not to be too eager to seek fame." Just for one name, how many people have been tortured for thousands of years, or how many people have even been "forced" crazy? The car in front is overturned, and the car behind is a lesson. Ay! This is not in a hurry, and it is not in a hurry."

While listening to Meng Haoran's words, Tang Cheng's heart, which was walking slowly, turned rapidly, it seemed that the situation in this literary world was really different from what he had imagined before. You can't become famous overnight with just two good poems. Those previous thoughts were so naïve!

But if you think about it carefully, for example, Wang Wei, who is known as the three uniques of poetry, calligraphy and painting, left home at the age of fifteen to go to Beijing, but he did not become famous until he was twenty-one years old. The same situation is that the poet immortal Li Bai went to the country with a sword at the age of twenty-five, quit his relatives and traveled far away, and his poems were already flying proudly during this period, but it was Li Bai's genius. It also had to be praised by He Zhizhang, the leader of the local literary world at that time. Only then did the name of "Immortal" spread all over the world; also suffered Bai Juyi, whose fame and even popularity were due to the promotion of the famous poet of Chang'an. Situations like this can be said to be endless in the history of the development of poetry in the Tang Dynasty, such as Han Yuzhi to Jia Island, Ling Fox to Li Shangyin, and so on......

This is not to say that the poems of Li Bai, Wang Wei, Bai Juyi and others before they have not met the appreciation are not good, but because they are too soft-spoken, which makes the important "nature" of the introducer more and more obvious.

Thinking of this, Tang Cheng continued to ask exhaustively, why is the referrer important? Guiding the writing of poetry? Bullshit! Among the above pairs, if you talk about composing poems, in addition to Han Yu, others such as Li Fan, Ling Huxuan, or even He Zhizhang, who are also poets, are far worse than Wang Wei, Li Bai, Bai Juyi and Li Shangyin. Regardless of this, the most important and only reason is that these people have the right to speak in the literary world.

In short, these people are because of their identity, so they have someone to listen to what they say, and for the fledgling Wang Wei and others, even if the poem is written well, no one wants to listen to your poem is in vain, and good wine is most afraid of deep alleys, if the alley is too deep to get out, no matter how good the wine is, it will stink.

From what Meng Haoran said, he thought of the important "sex" of the introducer, and then from the referrer to the right to speak, and finally Tang Cheng accurately grasped the essential factor needed to become famous - the voice channel.

If he is asked to follow the traditional path that Meng Haoran said, Tang Cheng is really grateful for it, saying good things, running errands for others, and giving gifts on New Year's Day, this thing sounds like a big head, for a post-80s traveler like him who has an unprecedentedly strong sense of self, don't even think about it. If you don't talk about this, wouldn't it be nice to ask for a place?

Since you don't want to take this road, you can only build your own voice channel, as long as you have a voice channel under your own control, it is easy to ask for a name, not only can you be famous when you want to be famous, but also who you want to be famous can be famous!

Why He Zhongda and others are so bullish and unscrupulous, it's not because they are loud and far away and master the most important voice channel in the Daocheng literary world!

"It's better to ask for others than yourself! Personal destiny must always be in the hands of oneself to come steadily", after thinking clearly, Tang Cheng turned the depression suffered by Shicai in He Yuan into a vicious sentence, "Young Brother Meng, we have to find a way to recite the poems widely, and we don't have to suffer from today's bird spirit."

"Brother Tang is so arrogant", Meng Haoran shook his head with a smile when he heard this, "But this matter is not easy to talk about."

It is not easy, after all, this is the Tang Dynasty, and it is not as developed as the information and media of later generations.

"It's not easy", after Tang Cheng thought about it, he paused and said, "It's not easy, but it's not impossible, Young Brother Meng, I will definitely be able to find this way!" ”。
