Chapter 19: The Lotus

After everyone drank tea and tasted snacks, several "judges" sitting on the top seat also took their seats.

Among them, except for the Lord of Deyang, the others are the most famous Confucians in Taixue today.

"Everyone, you have just drunk lotus tea and tasted lotus cake, so the topic of this year's poetry meeting is to make a poem with the theme of lotus, the time is the time of a pillar of incense, please stop composing poems after this pillar of incense is burned, otherwise you will be disqualified on the spot."

After a big Confucian with a long gray beard announced the title and rules of the competition, the young ladies who participated in the poetry meeting began to bow their heads and think deeply.

Jingyan only feels a little headache, as a modern person, where can she compose poetry? He also wrote poems with lotus。。。。。。 Jingyin and Jing'an can't be counted on, it's good if they don't fall into the ground!

It's really not good, you can only copy the poems of the ancestors after the Han Dynasty.

Jingyan went through the poems that could be remembered in her mind, and found that she could only think of a "out of the sludge but not stained, clear ripples but not demons, straight from the outside of the middle, not vines and branches, but from a distance and not blasphemous." ”

But it seems that the words are not poems, and I can only remember these few sentences, and I have long forgotten the whole article, so I can't use these few sentences that are not in front of or behind to deal with it, right? Then I'm going to laugh and be generous this time!

But the ancient poems memorized in elementary and middle school are almost forgotten, and I really hate less books when they are used! It would be nice if Wu Yishu (a Fudan University student who became famous in one fell swoop by participating in CCTV's "Poetry Conference") crossed over, she can memorize more than 2,000 poems by heart, and she is a talented woman when she comes over!

Jingyan was distressed and thinking nonsense, while Jingyin, who was sitting next to her, had already gotten up and started to write poems on the white paper, and after writing, she glanced at Jingyan with her eyes, her eyes full of mockery.

Hehe, this idiot is probably going to be the same as last year, making a lame poem that can't be put on the table at the last moment.

And at this time, Jingyan still has no clue, what other poems are related to the lotus?

Her eyes fell on the lake on the edge of the venue, where a large lotus flower was in full bloom. The turquoise leaves stretch one after another until the distance where the water and the sky meet, as if you can't see the edge, and in a large area of turquoise, the red lotus flowers look extraordinarily red.

Yes, she suddenly thought of a seven-character quatrain by Yang Wanli in the Song Dynasty - "Xiao out of Jingci Temple to Lin Zifang" [After all, in the middle of June in the West Lake, the scenery is not the same as the four seasons, the lotus leaves are infinitely green, and the lotus flowers are different red in the sun], wouldn't it be more appropriate to use this scene?

But there is a word that has to be changed, I just heard the round-faced little maid introduce that the lake in Lord Weng's mansion is called Mo Lake.

Because it is rumored that the lord of Deyang likes to practice calligraphy, he persistently practices every day, and the brush after practicing is put in the lake to wash, and the lake is black for a long time, so it is called Mohu.

Thinking of this, Jingyan got up, picked up a pen and wrote a poem on the paper in Jingyin's surprised eyes - "After all, in the middle of June in Mohu, the scenery is not the same as the four seasons, the lotus leaves are infinitely green, and the lotus flowers are different red in the sun", which is a bit flattering, but it is also appropriate.

Jingyan secretly said in her heart that it was fortunate that she had traveled through the Han Dynasty, and there were a bunch of poems by famous poets of the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties behind that could be appropriated. This is the Qing Dynasty, and this choice is too narrow.

I just don't know if she uses this poem now, will it feel a little familiar when Yang Wanli in the Song Dynasty bids farewell to Lin Zifang by the West Lake?

After writing, Jingyan continued to sit back in her seat, drinking tea and eating delicious snacks.

She is not worried about the result at all, whether the poems that can be circulated for thousands of years and even included in primary school textbooks and have withstood thousands of tempers can win the championship, there is absolutely no problem in entering the top ten.

As long as you don't lose too ugly.
