Chapter 30, Lingyun Carving Dragon
Chen Lin Chen Kongzhang was a famous writer and poet in the late Han Dynasty, and was one of the "Seven Sons of Jian'an". He created hundreds of poems and fu works in his life, but unfortunately most of them are scattered, and not many have been handed down, and the most talked about by future generations is precisely not poetry and fu literary works, but the application of the essay "Yuzhou Wen for Yuan Shao" - that is, the text that helped Yuan Shao curse Cao Cao.
So when Chen Lin stood up, Shixun couldn't help but tremble a little. It is said that he has not seen a literary scholar in this era, Cao Cao and Kong Rong are also one of the "Seven Sons of Jian'an". But as mentioned earlier, he can pretend to be a grandson in front of Cao Cao and Kong Rong, after all, those two are in a relationship with him, and the monarch does not force him to be strong, which is called flattery, and the monarch is very strong and pretends that he is a little worse than him, which is called political wisdom. But now that he came to Yecheng to see Yuan Shao, he is theoretically on an equal footing with Chen Lin, but he can't easily admit it in front of Chen Lin, which will not only lose his face, but also lose Yanzhou's face at the same time.
Fortunately, Chen Lin is in Jizhou, this is a personal knowledge, and he will not be defenseless before he comes. So when Chen Lin opened his mouth to ask, "Is there a good work to give you", Shi Xun hurriedly returned the gift and replied: "Although it is a grand event, why do all the gentlemen ask each other about state affairs, and Xun is safe and poetic?" "No one talks about Fengyue, where can I find this poetry?
Of course, poetry does not only start from the wind and moon, but also includes Chen Lin's "Seven Sons of Jian'an", a very important common feature of them is that they are sentimental and sad, lamenting the people's livelihood, and rarely moaning without disease. But poetry is about passion, and talking about state affairs depends on reason, and we have just finished talking about state affairs here. A brain full of logic. How is it possible to make a poem? Logic is the enemy of poetry.
Chen Lin is a true poet. Therefore, he knew the difficulty of writing poems in the Dao, and he also knew the boring of writing poems in the propositions of the Dao, so he "do not do to others what you do not want", and hurriedly said: "It doesn't matter, Lin also wants to appreciate the old work of the king - that is, to pay respect for the old work first." As he spoke, he drained the glass of wine and raised his head. Man Sheng chanted:
"When the high meeting is not entertaining, the detainees are embarrassed. Yin Huai sent from it, sad and grateful. Cast and sit happily, and walk freely in the long forest. The wind in the valley is gloomy. I am melancholy and forgetful, and I am sobbing and staining. ”
After chanting his poems, the ministers of Jizhou did not stroke their palms and praised the goodness, and several of them were not very kind, so they took the corner of their eyes to glance at Shixun, and said how their hearts were. Do you have any good works that may overpower my Chen Kongzhang?
Chen Lin's poems. Shixun just remembered the most famous poem "Drinking Horses in the Great Wall Caves", and he seemed to have an impression and no impression of the one he just chanted. But he can still understand the meaning of the poem, the beginning of the saying "high meeting is not entertaining", just in line with the environment at this time, and then said "the detainees are difficult to be", claiming that the "detainees" are also travelers, which is nostalgic. Where is Chen Lin's hometown, it is in Guangling County, Xuzhou, does this kid want to use this poem to bring the conversation back to the Xuzhou issue?
"Detaine", homesickness...... Shi Xun couldn't help but think of what Chen Deng had said to him before leaving Xuzhou. At that time, Chen Deng said, Hongfu, you must try your best to show your talent, and really make a name for yourself on the spot, so as to ensure that Yuan Shao and his advisers will not dare to touch you easily. But when it comes to political issues, you always say that the public is justified, and the mother-in-law says that the mother-in-law is reasonable, even if you are clever in your words, it is difficult to convince others. If you want to make the people of Jizhou speechless, you can only take out your literary talent and use poetry to shock them. Are you confident?
Yes Xun thought at the time, if you want to say that you suddenly give yourself a question and let yourself make a poem, then you really don't have any confidence at all, if you have prepared in advance, what if you plagiarize it recklessly when the time comes, don't say that Chen Lin is there, even if Tao Yuanming is there, it won't be difficult for me. So he had already imagined all kinds of possibilities along the way, and prepared several poems for selection. It just so happened that Chen Lin's poem implied homesickness, so Shi Xun couldn't help but laugh secretly in his heart - just in the arms of Lao Tzu, you wait, the bombshell is about to be thrown!
At the moment, he brushed the few short hairs that had just grown under his chin, and his face sank slightly: "It's a good sentence 'it's hard to be a detainee', Mr. Kong Zhang is a detainee in Jizhou, how can Xun not be?" Because of the past since Lelang farewell to the hometown, and then farewell to the hometown, moved south to Xuzhou, and then away from the clan, Xishi Yanzhou, during which all kinds of parting pains are difficult to express. Therefore, he once made a gift, and this celery was dedicated to the generous house. ”
Chen Lin was stunned for a moment, and said in her heart that I just chanted a short poem, but you remembered to recite it, which obviously wanted to overpower me. I once heard that someone came from Qingzhou and memorized a few poems from you, but I don't know if you will still be able to write, okay, okay, then today is just the right time to open your eyes and listen to whether you really have good goods in your stomach-" Lin listened attentively. ”
So Xun Youyou did the same, drained the wine in the cup in one gulp, put down the ear cup, cranked the folding fan, looked around at the people present, and recited loudly: "Those who have lost their souls, only farewell~~"
Fu is a very painful style between poetry and literature, born from Chu Ci, pay attention to the four and six, layer by layer, and must also have to press the rhyme, and the creation is very difficult. Compared with ordinary poetry, Fu is more delicate, more profound, and longer, even outrageously long. Don't talk about writing this thing, even the back can drive people crazy.
The two Han Dynasty are the heyday of Fu, Sima Xiangru "Zixu Fu", "Adult Fu", "Shanglin Fu", "Changmen Fu", Jia Yi has "Ostrich Fu", "Hanging Qu Yuan Fu", Yang Xiong has "Changyang Fu", "Ganquan Fu", and Ban inherent "Liangdu Fu", all of which are famous through the ages. But to ask, how many articles can Mr. Hoon or Kosuke memorize? He must pat his chest and answer you: Lao Tzu can't memorize half of it!
However, fortunately, the style of fu has been further developed between the Han and Wei dynasties, and there has been a great degree of change, and a large number of lyrical short fu began to appear, such as Chen Lin's "Wu Jun Fu" and "Goddess Fu", which all belong to this type. These lyrical short fu are easier to memorize, and Xun was able to recite four of them in his previous life - Wang Cang's "Ascending the Tower", You Heng's "Parrot Fu", and the most touching "Hate Fu" and "Don't Fu" by the Southern Dynasty Jiangyan.
There is an idiom called "Jiang Lang is exhausted", which refers to Jiang Yan. But in Shi Xun's opinion, even if this guy has only done those two poems in his life. are enough to lead the group. It is among the best in the literary world of the Han and Wei dynasties. So this time he began to chant "Don't Fu". As soon as the sentence at the beginning of the light "Those who have lost their souls are just farewell" came out, the audience was immediately silent.
It was Xun Xin who said that you are quite knowledgeable, so he continued to recite with his neck in hand: "Qin and Wu Xi are desperate, and Fu Yan and Song Xi are thousands of miles." Or the spring moss is born, and the autumn wind is temporary. It is a broken intestine with a line, and I feel sad. The wind is small and loud, and the clouds are long and strange. The boat is stuck on the water's edge. The car is later than the side of the mountain, and the horse is screaming without stopping......"
Of course, Jiang Yan is a person two hundred years later, and some of the allusions he used in this fu, and even some of the place names mentioned in this article, have not yet been in this year, so they have to be revised. For example, at the beginning of the second paragraph, "To Ruolong Horse Silver Saddle, Zhu Xuan embroidered the shaft, and drank the Eastern Capital." Sending off guests to the Golden Valley", the eastern capital refers to the eastern capital gate of Chang'an. It can also refer to the eastern capital of Luoyang, which is not a big problem, but the "Golden Valley Garden" of Shi Chong, which can be referred to by the Golden Valley, is completely a building that only existed in later generations.
Shi Xun vaguely remembered that there was a record in the history books, Lu Bu was captured by Cao Cao in the White Gate Tower, and when he looked at Cao Cao, he asked how did you lose weight, Cao Cao was still strange, and asked Have we met? Lu Bu said yes, you haven't run away yet, and we have met in the Wen's Garden in Luoyang. So he directly changed "Sending Guests to Jingu" to "Sending Guests Wen's", and in order to rhyme, he simply changed the "Zhu Xuan Embroidery Shaft" in front to "Zhu Xuan Embroidery".
There is also the whole paragraph of "Sergeant Huayin, taking food and returning to the mountain", which describes parting with his family in order to obtain immortal Taoism, which is in line with the desolate social atmosphere of the Southern Dynasty, but in the late Han Dynasty, Taoism has just been born, and there are not too many people who seek immortality in vain, so it is a bit strange to copy it out - he simply deleted the entire paragraph.
As for all the other words that I can't remember, they have already been drafted, and they have all been deleted and revised. To the end: "Although the ink of the abyss clouds, the fine pen of Yan Le, the Zhuyan of the golden boudoir, the heroes of Lantai, endowed with the name of Lingyun, and the voice of the carved dragon, who can copy the state of temporary departure, and write the love of eternal secret!" Then he let out a sigh of relief, gracefully waved the fan, and finished his work.
This was a real shock on the spot. To say that Jiang Yan's "Farewell Fu" is a swan song for the ages, it is not an exaggeration at all, although Chen Lin's poems are also good, they will be lowered by a notch. Unless Chen Lin recited his most famous article "Drinking Horses in the Great Wall Caves" just now, but no matter how good "Drinking Horses in the Great Wall Caves" is, it has been completely overwhelmed in terms of length. Of course, the poems are not judged by their length, as long as the lazy woman's footcloth, definitely not as short as the inch jade of Lantian, but long and wonderful, it is much taller than the short and wonderful.
Among the heroes of Hebei, there are those who are brilliant, all of them bow their heads and savor and chew, as for those who are slightly less talented, looking at their colleagues, they must also shake their heads and pretend to appreciate it. In the end, it was the most knowledgeable one who spoke first - Chen Lin stroked his hands and exclaimed: "Who can describe the parting?" Yes, Mr., this endowment really has the magic of Lingyun and carving dragons! ”
Lingyun refers to Sima Xiangru, Emperor Wu once praised his "Adult Fu" as "fluttering with the spirit of Lingyun", and the carved dragon refers to the Qi people, known as "carving the dragon". At the end of "Farewell Fu", it is said that even if you can make Lingyun's poetry and have the ability to carve a dragon, it is difficult to describe the feelings of farewell.
Shi Xun smiled faintly, raised his head, and forty-five degrees again. He said in his heart that you can accept it this time, who would dare to talk to Lao Tzu about poetry and essays? But it's a lot of fun, I want to accept it when I see it, I don't withdraw at this time, and when will I wait? Immediately bowed deeply to Yuan Shao and said: "Today's gathering of sages is originally a good event, but it is a certain feeling of farewell and sadness, and swept away the Yaxing of the monarchs." This is all because of the wine, dare to ask for dismissal, so as not to make the general unhappy. ”
Who would have thought that Yuan Shao hadn't answered yet, and one person shouted loudly: "It's Mr. and slow!" (To be continued......)
PS: I often ask friends, is Xun going to copy the endowment?
Of course, if you can't write poetry, do you dare to call Wenkui? Although it is difficult to get it, you still have to copy it when you should copy it. But I don't plan to copy more, I always think that it is normal to have hundreds of poems in my stomach, and even a strong man can save thousands, but if there are seven or eight or even ten complete fu, it must be a demon. Let's do a poll among our readers: Who can write more than five poems (I can't do it anyway)?
