Chapter 704: Lakeside Forum
The students' eyes were full of reverence, as if the fans saw the emperor superstar they admired, and the fans saw Messi and Ronaldo, Xiaoxia couldn't help but cover her mouth.
This is not to say how good this poem "The First Best Not to Meet" is, in fact, from an artistic point of view, there is still a big gap between this poem and the peak works of Gu Cheng, Beidao, Haizi and others, but now Gu Cheng and Beidao have just emerged, Haizi is still studying at Peking University and has not embarked on the road of poetry, which is quite a bit of a tiger in the mountains.
In addition, this poem is easy to understand, and it is based on the theme of singing about love, which naturally gets the love of these sullen literary and artistic young people, as mentioned earlier, at this time, the university is not as relaxed about falling in love as in later generations, and the big guys either talk secretly, or have a crush and dare not confess, this song "The first best not to meet" perfectly fits the mood of these young students.
Anyway, since he was recognized and people respected him so much, Shen Long naturally couldn't refuse his request, so he took the pen and signed his name in his notebook.
"Teacher Sun, sign one for me too!" The students next to her also heard the movement and hurriedly rushed over, and soon Shen Long was surrounded by people, Xiaoxia's reporter instinctively made her realize that this might be a good opportunity, so she quietly withdrew from the crowd and took out her camera to take pictures of them outside.
After signing the names of the twenty and thirty students, they still refused to let Shen Long go, pulling him and asking Shen Long to tell them something, "Teacher Sun, tell us about poetry and literature!" ”
"Yes, Mr. Sun, can you tell me something!" The students earnestly pleaded that the eighties were an era of gradual opening of minds, that the minds that had been imprisoned for a long time were suddenly relaxed, that people were full of curiosity about all kinds of new currents of thought, and that literature and poetry, as carriers of ideas, naturally became the best choice for them to come into contact with various currents of thought, so that poets and writers gained an extremely high prestige in this era, and everywhere they went, they would encounter situations like today.
"Don't dare to say anything for the time being, after all, I'm just a high school student, and I haven't been admitted to the university at the beginning, but you are a top student in a key university." Yes, it looks like we can't go, "Let's just talk to each other!" ”
Shen Long's words caused a burst of laughter, and the writers and poets they had come into contact with before were quite a bit high-minded and self-proclaimed ideological teachers, and Shen Long's kind gesture won their favor.
"Teacher Sun, it's not your loss that you didn't go to college, it's the loss of those universities, I think you are much better than us; You didn't go to college, but you found your way, and I'm in college now, but I'm confused about the future, I don't know what I want to do. The student who first asked Shen Long for an autograph said distressedly, "I want to engage in literature, but I have learned physics. ”
"Yes, I think in this era, the most important thing is to emancipate the mind and re-examine people's values, and the importance of literature is far greater than physics." Someone chimed in.
"Actually, I don't think so, literature is important, but natural science is equally important to human beings, and it can even be said that it is better than literature." Don't look at Shen Long as a writer now, but he still has the thinking of a science student in his bones, and in his heart, the weight of Gu Cheng, Beidao and others is far from being comparable to Yuan Longping.
This statement has aroused opposition from the big guys, and Shen Long is just the opposite, although they are science students, deep down they are the thinking of literary and artistic youth, "Teacher Sun, I don't agree with your point of view, just imagine, if it wasn't for Lu Xun and other writers who awakened countless young people during the Republic of China, how could there be a future China?" ”
"Yes, that is, the Renaissance in Europe also began with the literary works of Dante, Petrarch, Boccaccio and others, and I think we also need a group of writers like Lu Xun and Dante now."
Shen Long smiled and listened to their thoughts, although their ideas were immature, but their concern for the times and the country and the nation could not be stopped, which was also the most valuable quality of this generation of young people, these qualities had gradually declined later, and when Shen Long was in college, few people cared so much about the country and the nation.
Of course, this is also due to the development of the times, in the 80s, people opened their eyes to the world again, and the huge gap between them and European and American countries made them realize the seriousness of the problem, so they had a sense of urgency; In addition, the graduation distribution system gave them the idea of the master of the country naturally.
In later generations, everyone's thoughts are very realistic, worrying about how to find a good job after graduation, and the gravitational pull of reality makes it difficult for people to have such thoughts again.
"Is the cause and development of the Renaissance the emancipation of the productive forces after all, and the development of the factory handicraft industry and the commodity economy has promoted the change of thought, and these are the contributions of your science students." Shen Long said with a smile, "If you can contribute to physics, the significance will not be lost to poets and writers at all." ”
"In addition, natural science also has its own beauty, it's up to you to discover it." They may be more resistant to talking about physics with these students, so Shen Long turned to talk about it from an aesthetic point of view.
"For example, physics is also poetic; Poetry is the product of sensibility, while physics is the product of truth-seeking and rationality, which seems to be diametrically opposed on the surface, but in fact they are different from each other. Shen Long continued, "Poets seek to express as many connotations as possible in simple language, and the same is true for physical formulas. ”
"Newton's three laws, Kepler's laws of planetary motion, Einstein's mass-energy equations, they wrote the basic structure of the physical world in extremely refined mathematical language, and it can be said that they are all poems of the creator, and the realm of these poems is much more beautiful than literary poetry."
"The way of thinking of physics and poetry is the same: they are both so concise and simple, both have a harmonious and symmetrical beauty, both need to have rich imagination, both emphasize being good at capturing inspiration, and are full of human passion and ideals......"
These literary and artistic young people who studied natural science fell into deep thought, it was not that they had not discovered the beauty of natural science before, but no one had ever compared it like this.
Speaking for a while, Shen Long remembered a poem that is not so famous, but it is very suitable for the current environment, "Actually, writing poetry in physical language is also beautiful. ”
