Chapter 66: I'll Compose a Poem for You (3)
(Ask for collections, ask for recommendation votes!) Thanks to Shuyouan? Ling, Red Comet's tip~)
"Shude said that good poetry is naturally good. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Chen Fangyin stroked his beard, and his eyes showed approval. If he had doubts about Xie Shen's talent before, this time he was really impressed.
Almost all Ming scholars can compose poems, even if it is a proposition poem, it is not difficult to make it, but it is absolutely very human to make such exquisite verses as 'the wild wind outside the door opens the white lotus'.
The style of poetry existed in the Tang Dynasty, and although the Ming people could also make good poems, they were much worse than the Tang people.
Xie Shen's poem actually made Chen Fangyin vaguely see the style of Tang poetry.
Chen Fangyin pretends to be a harsh person, and he can't be harsh at all. Invisibly, Xie Shen's purpose has been achieved.
The order of his three poems is very particular and carefully designed. The first two poems are similar in realm, but the status of the poem is higher than the words, so it is placed in the back, and the last poem is used by Xie Shen to pull the heart of the great master.
Prior to this, he had already had an in-depth understanding of the Great Grandmaster, and judging from the reviews he had collected, the Great Grandmaster was a typical orthodox literati.
Although the literati are proud of their talents, they also cherish their talents. If you don't have the talent to pay homage, he will abandon you as if you were a monk. But if you have poetry and books, he will take the initiative to make friends with you.
Don't look at the difference between the status of Xie Shen and the Great Grandmaster now, but it is not impossible for the two of them to really look at each other and make a New Year's friendship.
The great master is over 50 years old this year, and most of the poems that were popular in the literary world when he was young were in the style of Taige. The so-called Taiwan Pavilion refers to the Cabinet and the Hanlin Academy, also called the Pavilion. The cabinet is graceful and elegant, and it has been respected by the cabinet "Sanyang" at that time, and it has been popular for a long time.
But one of the fatal problems of this kind of poetry is that it is empty and lifeless. There is nothing new in its content except for describing the peaceful and prosperous scene and singing the praises of holiness. The original intention of the poem is to be lyrical, not to follow Cheng Zhu's theory. After a long time, the literary and poetry world is like a pool of stagnant water, and it is difficult to produce good works.
Xie Shen is naturally very dissatisfied with the Taige style, which is a kind of poetry style that stifles human nature, but this kind of poetry has been popular for nearly a hundred years from Yongle to Chenghua, and it has not completely subsided in the Hongzhi Dynasty.
Grand Master Chen Fangyin came from that era, and he must have a clear understanding of the disadvantages of the Taige system. Once the literati put on the shackles, it is absolutely impossible for them to write good poems that are independent of the world.
The pavilion style is a bit like the historical prose, although it seems to be gorgeous, it is detached from reality, and it is difficult to appear one or two shocking masterpieces. Han Yu Liu Zongyuan of the Tang Dynasty was able to advocate the ancient literature movement against flashy prose. From the advent of the Taiwan Cabinet to the early days of Hongzhi, no one stood up and really spoke out against the Taiwan Cabinet System. At this point, Li Dongyang, the helmsman of the Tuling Poetry School, cannot be regarded as a role model, and his poems are still difficult to jump out of this circle.
Tang poetry is undoubtedly the pinnacle of poetry of all dynasties. Although Song poems are magnificent and gorgeous, they have lost the charm of Tang poems. In contrast, the Yuan poems, which are generally designated as wild roads, are closer to Tang poems. The Ming Dynasty Taige style is more like taking the old road of Song poetry, and this road is more deviated. The so-called "Song Shishen went to Tang Yuan; Yuan poetry is shallow, but it is close to Tang. That's it.
Chen Fangyin knew the disadvantages of the Taige body but didn't dare to speak out, and when he was looking for him thousands of times in the crowd, he suddenly looked back, but found that the person was in the dim light.
In Chen Fangyin's view, the sentence "The pedestrian mooring falls at the beginning of the month, and the wild wind outside the door opens the white lotus" seems to be plain, but it is in the plain to see the truth, quite like He Jizhen's sentence "I don't know who cut out the thin leaves, and the spring breeze in February is like scissors".
Chen Fangyin had been looking for a long time but had not found Tang Shifeng's bones in a thirteen-year-old boy, which made him surprised and delighted, ashamed and proud.
But he can't fully reveal his true thoughts, which is not conducive to the growth of the teenager.
Young people naturally have to beat a lot, and if they hold it too high, they may fall even worse.
Although Xie Shen did not wait for the Great Grandmaster's sincere praise, he knew that he had left an important place in the Great Grandmaster's heart. This is thanks to Xie Shen's understanding of the literati of the Ming Dynasty. Xie Shen, who was born in a professional class in his previous life, still has a lot of insights into the psychological state of the literati in the Ming Dynasty.
The literati of the Ming Dynasty were actually in a state of struggle. On the one hand, they are eager to break free from the shackles of fame and fortune like those celebrities in the Northern Song Dynasty, for Su Dongpo's teeth, and for Xin Jiaxuan's tongue. But on the other hand, the huge practical interests make them unwilling to give up fame and fortune, and they often wander and hesitate, and finally give birth to the somewhat deformed poetic style of the cabinet.
Concocting the cabinet body will not solve anything, it will only make this generation of celebrities more hesitant, to put it bluntly, doubting life.
To paraphrase Fan Zhongyan's words, "advance is also worried, retreat is also worried".
This is an era in which scholars and the Son of Heaven rule the world together, and it is a happy land for scholars to breed. In the midst of the intoxication of this kind of warbler song and swallow dance, Xie Shen wrote such a stunning poem as "The wild wind outside the door opens the white lotus" in the most simple language, which is simply deafening.
Although the great master Chen Fangyin has been numbing himself with the Taige body, when he hears the poems with the style of Tang poetry again, his heart will still burst with infinite passion.
Fresh and refined, there is something to say, this is the function of poetry!
It can be said that from the very beginning, Xie Shen touched this weakness of the Great Grandmaster and set a psychological trap. Chen Fangyin, who didn't understand psychology, naturally didn't understand that this was a good game set up by Xie Shen, so he plunged headlong.
Go to the army to strategize, and attack the heart first. In order for the Great Grandmaster to completely recognize himself, Xie Shen needs to carve his mark in his heart!
It didn't take long for the painting boat to dock on the dock of the island in the middle of the lake, and the great master Chen Fangyin, who was still immersed in the poems, realized that the painting boat had docked under the reminder of Lu Yuanlu's deputy envoy.
The two adults got off the painting boat one after another, and Xie Shen and Wang Shouwen followed.
At this time, in the hexagonal pavilion close to the earth mountain, a group of "actors" arranged by Xie Shen in advance were already in place, waiting for Xie Shen to gather on the high bench.
It's actually a big gamble. Xie Shen had earlier inquired from the Lu Mansion's housekeeper that the Grand Grandmaster and Lu Zhicha's deputy envoy had a soft spot for Cuihu. This time, the Grand Master will definitely go to Shaoxing to meet his friends of the same year, so Xie Shen bets that they will definitely go to Cuihu Lake to enjoy!
After getting the exact news of the Grand Master's arrival in the Lu Mansion, he also immediately called Xie Pi to inform the "actors".
At this time, everything should be ready, only the east wind is owed!
