Chapter Seventy-Nine: There is only one stone in the world, and Yulang accounts for eight buckets (4)

"'The grass is on the plain, and the year old is gone. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info wildfire burned inexhaustibly, and the spring breeze blew and reborn. This is Yu's favorite sentence, although the words are simple, but the meaning is profound. ”

"'The bones are exposed in the wilderness, and there is no rooster crowing for thousands of miles. The people are left behind, and the thought breaks people's intestines. This made Yu deeply admire Yulang's feelings of worrying about Li Shu. ”

"There are even talented people who sing about wine, and life is geometric. For example, the morning dew is bitter in the past. This all shows that Yulang you have the ability to make good poems. ”

"It's just that Yu doesn't understand a little, why don't you take the road to the road, but you want to go with a sword to attract people's attention."

Eye-catching!

This Ruan Yuanyu talked a lot, and he still showed his edge before he finished speaking.

"The next thing I have to face is dry goods, I know it's not that easy." Zhang Yu smiled and said solemnly: "The sword is biased and eye-catching? What Brother Yuan Yu said is not clear. ”

"'Don't worry about the road ahead, no one in the world knows you.'"

'Once the sea was difficult to water, except for Wushan, it is not a cloud. ’

These sentences cannot be said to be bad, but as soon as these seven words come out, they will inevitably fall behind.

But seeing in today's literary world, is there a person who is good at seven words?

Such poems, at odds with the times, will eventually become Ethur. ”

"Sophistry, because there are few good works in the literary world today, the seven words are classified as the bias?" Xu Gan said a word to the others.

"But what Brother Yuanyu said is also reasonable, compared to a five-word poem, seven words are miscellaneous and vulgar after all."

There was controversy at the scene, and Cai Yong had no intention of coming forward to reconcile, his old god was sitting on the ground, looking at the two young people he liked.

One is his beloved apprentice who has followed him for many years, and the other is Zhang Lang, the jade boy who amazed him, so it is better to let these two argue happily than to come forward.

The more the reasoning becomes, the clearer it becomes, not to mention that I also want to hear why this talented Zhang Yu is devoted to the poetry of seven words.

Who knows, before Zhang Yu could speak, Wang Cang spoke first.

What Brother Yuan Yu said, Cang didn't dare to agree.

Although there are few masterpieces of seven words, they are stylistically correct. In the pre-Qin period, the "Book of Songs" and "Chu Ci" already had seven-character sentences, and the "Chengxiang Chapter" of "Xunzi" was also based on seven words.

Since the founding of Gaozu, in addition to the "Song of Lou Hu" and "Song of Shangjun" contained in the "Book of Han", there are also "Fan Jiang Chapter" similar to "Fu Sheng", Shi You's "Urgent Chapter" and so on.

It is not so much that the seven words are not in harmony with the times, but that there are no people who are good at the seven words. ”

"Hey! Zhong Xuan is bad! Ruan Yu smiled and shook her head, still full of confidence.

"The "Book of Songs" and "Chu Ci" you mentioned earlier are not complete, and Yu doesn't mind adding a little to Zhongxuan.

When Emperor Wu Dongfang Shuo said: The minister thought that the dragon had no horns, and said that it was a snake with feet. The stumbling veins are good on the wall, and they are not guarding the palace, that is, the lizard.

There is a saying in "The Ballad of Wheat": The wheat is green and the barley is withered, who should be the wife and aunt of the winner.

There is also this nursery rhyme: Han Su is as white as mud, and Gao Diliang will be as timid as a chicken. ”

Ruan Yu turned his back with long sleeves and said, "Isn't it clear?" Seven words, the joy of talking and laughing, and the nursery rhymes of the streets and alleys of the market. It is not a song poem, not a poem, or a piano poem, at most it is more than one or two in the mouths of ordinary people and childish women, and it is difficult to wait for the elegant hall! ”

Cai Yong frowned slightly, in his opinion, Ruan Yu's words were a bit extreme. But if you think about it carefully, although this is chong, there is some truth in it, seven words, how can there ever be a masterpiece, and how can it be compared with five words of songfu.

Wang Cang wanted to say something, but was stopped by Zhang Yu. He has to solve his own affairs, and he can't let this boy who is a few years younger than him maintain it.

After listening to Ruan Yu's words, coupled with Zhang Yu's own research and thinking after coming to this world, he already had a certain understanding of why Qiyan was not prosperous at this time, and the big stone in his heart that had always warned him not to use poetry well began to loosen a little.

In later generations, many readers disdained that it was not unreasonable for the protagonist to rely on poetry and poetry to walk in ancient times, and Zhang Yu also thought so at first, that the prosperity of a literary style is inseparable from the era in which it lives.

Take Qiyan alone, it only bloomed in the Tang Dynasty with a peerless elegance. And it has a long history of appearing, why has it been silent?

Seven words can only be in Tang?

Far from it.

In the Han Dynasty, and even at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the number of seven words was by no means small, but it was overexploited and led into the wrong way. As Ruan Yu said just now, although the seven words are fluent, too many of them are involved in the field of "vulgarity".

Before the appearance of the five-character poems of the literati in the late Han Dynasty, the Han Fu was the main literary style created by the literati in the two Han Dynasty and the four hundred years of the Han Dynasty.

Yu Zhi of the Jin Dynasty once said: "Ancient poems have three words, four words, five words, six words, seven words, and nine words...... The three words of the ancient poem, 'Zhenzhen Heron, Heron in Flying' is also, and the Han suburban temple song is mostly used. The genus of the five-word "who is said to have no horns, why wear my house" is also, and it is used in haiku to advocate music. Six words, 'I will take care of the gold base' is also, Yuefu is also used. Seven words, 'handing over the yellow bird to stop at the mulberry' is also, in the haiku to advocate music and use it. ”

Since the five words and seven words are both so-called "haiku advocates music and are used for many purposes", why are the seven words more "vulgar"?

Only the word rhythm is also.

In the five words, the syllables and beats are top-heavy, and the tone is steady and steady; In the seven words, the head is heavy and the feet are light, and the tone of the whole poem is light and smooth.

Because the Qiyan is too smooth and smooth in rhythm, it was actually developed earlier than the Wuyan, and it was only adopted by those inscriptions, folk proverbs, and court jokes and amusing rhetoric.

Due to the ease and popularity of this form, as well as its wide application in the popular field, it is inevitable that people will summarize it as "vulgar".

Because it is vulgar, the people of the Han Dynasty did not regard the seven words as poetry; Because it was vulgar, it was abandoned by the Wei and Jin literati who advocated elegant literary style, so that before Qiyan shined in the Tang Dynasty, it could only crawl in the folk quagmire.

"Brother Yuan Yu just talked about the seven words, and Yu has something to say."

"Please."

"There are benefits to being vulgar, and there are benefits to elegance. We should look at things dialectically. Regardless of whether everyone understood it or not, Zhang Yu said again:

"Vulgar, down-to-earth, elegant, elegant and gorgeous, but why can't you appreciate the elegance and vulgarity?

Yu has a poem, called a quatrain.

Two yellow orioles are singing green willows, and a line of egrets is in the sky. ”

Zhang Yu groaned, and everyone's eyes seemed to have a picture of early spring with bright colors and early vitality.

"The window contains a thousand autumn snow in Xiling, and the door is anchored in the Dongwu Wanli boat."

"One sentence and one scene, blending into one, wonderful!"

"Viewing things and sending feelings, things and things are blended, this ...... Is it really seven words? ”

Listening to the praise, Zhang Yu looked at Ruan Yu, and said with blazing eyes: "Two yellow orioles, a line of egrets, vulgar?" Wonderful? ”

"Although this is the case, the seven words are always with a superficial atmosphere, which is rare to be simple and concise."

Zhang Yu smiled, figured out the key point, and the problem was solved.

He has always wondered why the "Seven Words Poem" did not gain the status of the main poetic type until the late Six Dynasties.

Is it really because it is contrary to the times and difficult for the people to understand?

Contrary! It is precisely the people who can understand it too well, so the scholars are disgusted with dirty and vulgar.

If the "seven-character poem", as a lyrical form of Chinese, lacks adaptability in nature, then how does it form the two major fields of classical Chinese poetry together with the "five-character poem"?

At this time, Zhang Yu was filled with an inexplicable confidence.

Ruan Yu looked at his smile, and for the first time in his heart, he felt a little bottomless.

"You said that in the literary world today and even in history, there is no one who sees the elders with seven words;

You say, the seven words are unbearable, and it is difficult to get into the hall of elegance;

You say, the seven words are frivolous and frivolous, and it is rare to have the essentials of style......

I said, you're wrong.

In this life, there is me Zhang Yu, and seven words will be prosperous! ”
