Chapter 254: How Many Girls Have You Written Poems?
This poem "Far and Near" can be interpreted in a variety of ways, which is one of the characteristics of hazy poetry.
Lin Zixuan's choice of this poem is in line with the current situation, which can be understood as writing about the scene where Ling Shuhua painted him.
Another meaning shows the sense of distance between him and Ling Shuhua, the two are not familiar with each other.
I feel very distant when I am facing you, which means the distance of the heart, and when I see the clouds, I feel very close.
Of course, it can also be explained by the estrangement between people, the vigilance, and the pursuit of harmonious and harmonious ideal interpersonal relationships.
Or it expresses the loneliness of human beings and their yearning for nature.
Everyone has their own interpretation based on their own experience, and this is the charm of poetry.
Ling Shuhua, as a talented woman from Yenching University, has no low literary attainments, and she can see that Lin Zixuan is alienated from her, and she knows that her cleverness may have aroused the disgust of the other party.
However, she was born in a famous family, she is used to being proud, and she is sought after in the Beiping literary circle, otherwise she would not compete with Lin Huiyin for a while.
From her point of view, Lin Zixuan expressed his dissatisfaction with her through this poem.
Moreover, the poem was too short, and it couldn't be compared with the song "Goodbye Kangqiao" that Lin Zixuan gave to Lin Huiyin, so she was not very happy, but she didn't have a seizure.
The others gathered around, and after reading it, they thought it was too simple, but then they tasted it and felt that it had a deep meaning.
This is typical of Western symbolist poetry.
Hazy poetry adopts the artistic technique of symbolism, using imagery as the main language of poetry, by extracting imagery and editing the poetic imagery with the poet's unique ideological and emotional logic. It forms the linguistic image and delicate characteristics of the poem.
Or rather, this is Chinese symbolist poetry.
Lin Zixuan has written many similar poems before, such as "A Generation". "Broken Chapter", "Some People" and so on.
These poems are slightly different from the poems of the Republican era. This is a relatively mature form of poetry, and Xu Zhimo's Crescent Society is still trying and working the rhythm of new poetry.
All of you here are elites who have studied abroad, know literature, and have their own opinions on this poem.
When they each spoke out, they found that many points of view were different, some explained from the perspective of love, some from the perspective of life, and from the perspective of man and nature, and even from the relative distance of space and the universe.
Far and near are relative concepts. There is an objective and subjective difference.
Objective refers to the distance between two objects, while subjective refers to the distance between the mind.
Ling Shuhua listened to everyone's analysis and felt that she seemed to underestimate this poem, which turned out to be a philosophical poem that needed to be savored slowly.
She was a bit of a matchmaker, and the mediocrity disturbed herself.
The crowd savored the poems for a while, and then talked about other things.
In Beiping, countless things happen every day, except for the political dispute between Duan Qirui and Sun Zhongshan. The literary world is even more lively.
When only Lin Zixuan and Xu Zhimo were left, Xu Zhimo told Lin Zixuan that he was going to travel to Europe.
Because Tagore was lecturing in Europe, he wrote to him and invited him to come.
It's really just an excuse. The actual situation was that the relationship between him and Lu Xiaoman was known to Wang Geng, and he was afraid that Wang Geng would trouble him, so he went to Europe to avoid the limelight.
Xu Zhimo and Wang Geng were both disciples of Liang Qichao. They are all well-known figures in Beiping, and they usually have contacts. This triangular farce has spread in small circles.
Wang Geng naturally wanted to stop Xu Zhimo from dating Lu Xiaoman.
Lin Zixuan really didn't know what to say to Xu Zhimo.
At the beginning, when Xu Zhimo pursued Lin Huiyin, he was dead and alive. I can't wait to take out my heart and show my heart.
However, Lin Huiyin had just gone abroad, and as soon as he turned his head, he had a close relationship with Ling Shuhua and became a confidant, and it was not more than two months before he fell in love with Lu Xiaoman.
This is the life of a genius!
He was despising Xu Zhimo, but he didn't know that there were also people despising him.
On the second day, the matter about Lin Zixuan's gift of poems to Ling Shuhua was in the newspaper, as well as the poem "Far and Near".
These literati spread this so-called interesting story in the literary world when they have nothing to do, and topics such as what talented and beautiful women are the most popular, which is fashionable in the literary world at this time.
In fact, in later generations, this kind of gossip spread faster.
Lu Xiaoman naturally saw the newspaper and the poem "Far and Near", and she remembered the poem called "The Farthest Distance in the World" that Lin Zixuan gave her before.
In terms of the meaning of the expression, the two poems are strikingly similar.
"The World's Farthest Distance" is about love, describing the pain of two people who love each other not being together, "Far and Near" can also be understood as love, but it is more philosophical.
How many girls have you written to them?
Lu Xiaoman smiled self-deprecatingly.
She knows that Lin Zixuan has written poems for Lin Huiyin, written poems for Feng Chengcheng, and now writes poems for Ling Shuhua, how many others don't know, this is a poet and a talent.
Xu Zhimo also wrote her a lot of passionate poems, and it was these poems that touched her heart.
Because her relationship with Xu Zhimo was exposed, the relationship with Wang Geng was extremely stiff.
Xu Zhimo wants to run to Europe to hide and leave the circle of Beiping temporarily, and Wang Geng is also going to be transferred to Harbin as the chief of the police, asking Lu Xiaoman to accompany him and change the environment, so as to sever the relationship with Xu Zhimo.
Lu Xiaoman is at a crossroads in his life.
She couldn't help but think of the past with Lin Zixuan.
At that time, she was still an eighteen-year-old girl who was ignorant of her feelings, regardless of the arrangement of her family, she did not understand the resistance, although she had a good impression of Lin Zixuan, but she did not fight for it.
Or that he knew that there would be no result in fighting for it, so he simply gave up.
However, after more than three years of married life, she became more mature, and at this time she met Xu Zhimo, an equally talented man, and she didn't want to let go.
For her, Lin Zixuan is a hazy first love, leaving only a good memory.
Xu Zhimo is her final choice, this time, she wants to fight for her own happiness.
Lu Xiaoman sorted out the letters he had exchanged with Lin Zixuan, put them in a package, sent them to the Beijing Hotel, and handed them to Lin Zixuan, which was regarded as a farewell to the past.
And attached a joke: Don't write poems for other girls in the future.
Coincidentally, when Lin Zixuan received the package delivered to the room by the waiter of the Beijing Hotel, Miss Song Jiasan happened to come to see him, and he had just opened the package at that time.
The card that left a message was seen by Miss Song Jiasan in this way, which put Lin Zixuan in a crisis.
Women are curious, Miss Song Jiasan threatened to sue Feng Chengcheng, but Lin Zixuan refused to admit it.
He has watched countless TV series with similar plots in his later life, and once he admits it, many plots will unfold in his favor.
But in the end, he couldn't withstand the torture of Miss Song Jiasan, so he had to roughly talk about the past a few years ago, after all, nothing happened, and there was nothing to say, but he felt relaxed.
Just like these returned letters, for him and Lu Xiaoman, they are all a relief and relief. (To be continued.) )
