Chapter Ninety-Nine: Fighting Poetry
"Looking at the floating clouds in the sky, looking at the state of the world, there is a true meaning in this, and I have forgotten to distinguish it."
"Good poetry, good poetry! I don't know what the name of Junxue's poem is? ”
"It's called "Autumn Debate"."
"Okay, Junxue uses this poem "Autumn Debate" to explain the artistic conception when writing "Autumn Cold", which is really wonderful, this is an argument without argument, showing Junxue's thousands of emotions when you write poems, and your feelings of compassion and compassion." The head of Guozi Academy praised Fang Junxue violently, this brain is really powerful, and then said to Chen Fan: "You are Chen Fasheng?" ”
"It's the students."
"Okay, I've read your drinking poems, and they're well written, and this "Autumn Cold" is also excellent, and many of them lament that it's cold, why do you write situational poems and don't extend them?"
Chen Fan wanted to say at this time that the young man didn't know what it was like to be sad, and he didn't have so much sorrow, although he could explain the reason for not writing about the cold state of affairs, but he only stayed on the defense, and he would obviously be inferior to Fang Junxue, so Chen Fan didn't do such a straightforward answer, and immediately said:
People say that the years are as thin as a veil, who makes the horseback rider Jinghua.
Xiaolou listened to the autumn rain overnight, and sold chrysanthemums in the Ming Dynasty in the deep alleys.
Come to the chess to wash the tea, and visit the Jiankang flowers when you are busy.
The frost falls on the clouds, the water is clear, and the cold stars are countless with the moon.
Don't worry about the road ahead, friends and relatives are next to each other.
The autumn cold has not yet arrived, and the winter clothes are sent, so why is the heart warm?
People often say that the state of the world is as thin as a veil, who let me ride a horse to the capital as a guest and be contaminated with prosperity? I lived in a small building and listened to the ticking sound of the autumn rain overnight, and there were still people selling chrysanthemums in the alley early the next morning. When I am free, I am playing chess and cooking tea, and when I am busy, I am shopping for Jiankang flowers. The frost falls in the inn, the water is still clear, there are thousands of stars in the sky, with the moon illuminating the world, the night scene is so beautiful. Don't worry about the loneliness ahead, because friends and relatives always care about themselves, the cold of autumn has not yet come, they have sent winter clothes, warm their hearts to the fire, how can you feel the heat of the world?
"Good poetry, good poetry, good poetry." The dean's expression was very exciting, he was ready to announce that Fang Junxue had won, as soon as Chen Fan finished answering, he could end the first game, but he didn't expect Chen Fan to answer his question with a poem, and this poem was obviously lofty, even more brilliant than Fang Junxue's answer just now, which made him unable to turn his brain for a while.
"What's the name of your poem?" Fan Zheng, who was sitting in the middle, suddenly spoke.
"Back to the master, the student thought about it, this article is also called "Autumn Cold"."
"Very good, very good! Ha ha! Who said that the autumn cold must be the hot and cold world? This is the cold and warm heart, it is my healthy style, showing the prosperity of my capital, the friendship of human affection, this is the "Autumn Cold" in the heart of the old man. ”
"Even, I didn't expect Chen Fasheng to write another "Autumn Cold", not only to explain the mood of writing at that time, but also to push the artistic conception of "Autumn Cold" to a higher level, this article is obviously better than the two articles that made us difficult to decide just now, but it was made after the fragrance was exhausted, for the sake of fairness, what new works do you have, and now you can also submit them." The head of Guozi Academy, who had eased up, immediately said, and at the same time glanced at Fang Junxue.
At this time, Fang Junxue was looking at Chen Fan, fifteen-year-old Chen Fan, when he entered the pavilion, he attracted Fang Junxue's attention. He doesn't like the drinking poems spread in Beijing, the reason is very simple, that is, Fang Junxue doesn't like to drink, so he thinks that "Persuasion and Quit Drinking" is acceptable, and "Drinking" is a bit like drunken nonsense, grandstanding, but I didn't expect that the person who made the poem was actually a personable beautiful boy, the purity between the eyebrows, the faint confidence, and the calmness of the poem's answer, which he had never seen in an ordinary teenager, even if he himself, at this age, did not have this confidence and calmness. Fang Junxue was actually a little envious for a while, but he was not jealous, he arched his hand towards Chen Fan at the moment, and said to the head of Guozi Academy: "This "Autumn Cold", just now Chen Langjun has already made what I think in my heart, and I will no longer do it." With that, he exited the pavilion.
Is this a towel? There was a moment of doubt in everyone's hearts.
Chen Fan was also looking at Fang Junxue, seeing that this person's fair skin and soft facial features constituted a face that was more beautiful than a woman, and there seemed to be tenderness in the eyes of the people, as if he was admitting defeat, but it didn't seem to be, just talking about an ordinary little thing, without the slightest concern, so Shi Shiran walked out of the pavilion, and immediately felt that it was not appropriate for him to be here, and then arched his hand to everyone, and also walked out of the pavilion.
Sun Mengcheng and Shen Chong, who were already outside the pavilion, immediately surrounded them, Sun Mengcheng's eyes were full of doubts, if he hadn't listened to Chen Fan's second song "Autumn Cold" with his own ears, and witnessed the scene where Fang Junxue gave his hand to Chen Fan, Sun Mengcheng would never believe that anyone would win Fang Junxue, this is the person who just thought he wrote too straightforwardly? Sun Mengcheng felt that he was a little confused.
Unlike Sun Mengcheng, Shen Chong is excited, and he is excited to be honored.
On the other side, Yunhe walked to Fang Junxue's side and said, "Why don't you make another song?" ”
"Why do it again? This song is excellent, 'Xiaolou listened to the autumn rain overnight, don't worry about the road ahead without a knowing self', writing scenes and feelings, I can't do it at his age, even now, I may not be able to do it. ”
"You are only four years apart, don't talk about how old you are, but this Chen Fasheng does have some meaning, and he can actually make you admit defeat?"
"What does it mean to throw in the towel? If others do well, admit that it is open-minded; It is wisdom to know your own shortcomings and recognize your own shortcomings; Don't be afraid of momentary gains and losses, honor and disgrace are not shocked, and the follow-up battle is, how can you win or lose? ”
"Yes, let's see Fang Dacai in the future." Yunhe said with a smile.
"Everyone, the three elders of Meishan came to this palace today, also so that you can write a poem for this painting, please take a look." While they were talking, Xiao Tong shouted in the pavilion.
When everyone looked around, they saw a tall mountain in the painting, green and verdant, and near the mountain, there was a plum branch, and the plum blossoms on the branch were in full bloom.
"Time three pillars of incense, you can make more, but in the end, only one will be selected."
The mountain is high and there is no road, which is closed; There is no one in the mountains, half of the immortals; The plum blossom table is noble and elegant, there is only one plum branch in the painting, seven plum blossoms bloom on the branch, seven is the boundary between yang and yin, and it is painted in front of the mountain, that is to express easy reason, this is easy to learn, break the entrance, become half immortal! Chen Fan only glanced at it, the inexplicable true meaning in the painting flowed in his heart, and he was not lazy at the moment, and directly wrote a poem, the poem "Half Immortal":
Where is the reincarnation of gold,
Who will see the sun rise in the daylight?
Break the lock and push the pass to find numerology,
Gong ginseng creates and realizes yin and yang.
The first two sentences are from a poem of "Happy Spring" in the Yuan Dynasty, which means that the noble people come into the world, and there are very few people who fly into immortals during the day, and such people are difficult to find, and they can only be seen when they encounter chance; The last two sentences refer to breaking through difficulties and learning to be easy to understand, cultivating to comprehend the power of heaven and earth, and understanding yin and yang, describing a person who has broken away from the mortal body and reached the edge of becoming an immortal, as a half-immortal. That's the meaning of this painting, as for whether he will become an immortal later, there is no one in the painting, and Chen Fan did not mention it.
Chen Fan also only made one song, handed it in, and waited for the results to come out.
The time of the three pillars of incense passed quickly, the results of the evaluation had not yet been announced, and Xiao Tong gave another question, the question was written by Master Fan, the title was "Bamboo", the genre was miscellaneous poems, and the time was a stick of incense.
The so-called miscellaneous poems refer to a variety of poems other than the classical poetry grid, such as four-word poems, Liujia poems, eight-tone poems, etc., the forms of poems are diverse, lively and vivid, and generally have the nature of word games, which was more popular in the Northern and Southern Dynasties.
Chen Fan suddenly thought of a kind of miscellaneous poem, which is a pagoda poem, which usually starts with the spire of a one-word sentence and extends downward, increasing the number of words layer by layer, and terminates at the bottom of the tower of the seven-character sentence, with a beautiful structure and endless interest, and immediately decided to give a poem according to this genre.
bamboo
The color is blue, like jade.
Mu Shuke, love the martial arts.
The twigs are like spears, and the green leaves are like swords.
The shadow of the feather forest, the sparse smoke and dew.
The wind suddenly competes for rhyme, and the pond water is greener.
People are born thin, and they are more rigid than they are.
Chen Fan is very satisfied with this poem, although he has created only four or five sentences, and the rest are taken from the famous sentences of the ancients, but which sentence to take, how to take, or take the painstaking consideration, to conform to the thinking habits of people in this era, can not use the wrong allusions, Chen Fan felt that none of the poems he had memorized could be used, so he had to change it himself.
After handing in the poem, Chen Fan doesn't care if he is the first name, he already has a "Autumn Cold", this reputation is already there, as long as the level is not too bad, not to mention that Chen Fan feels that the two poems he wrote later are also very good.
"Ladies and gentlemen, just the question of the three elders of Meishan, the results have come out, after everyone's unanimous evaluation, it is believed that if the beauty of the poem, Fang Junxue wins, but if the poem is inscribed in the painting, the three elders of Meishan think that Chen Fasheng's "Half Immortal" is more suitable. The selection of poems this time only pays attention to the fate of the law, not about learning. Next, I would like to ask Chen Fasheng to tell you why this painting is written "Half Immortal"? "Or the dean of Guozi Studies," said after the incense burned out.
What is the best thing to say? A painting is there, different people have different opinions, Chen Fan didn't plan to convince others, since the dean also said that he paid attention to the fate of the law, then just talk about the fate.
"Ladies and gentlemen, in fact, why did I write "Half Immortal", I don't know, when I saw this painting for the first time, what I saw was a 'hidden' word, what was hidden? At second glance, it is the word 'immortal', why is it immortal? At the third glance, it became a 'Xuan' character. Then the painting turned into a line of words, 'Learn to be easy to reason, break the entrance, and become a half-immortal!' Therefore, the pen fell, and the poem was completed. After speaking, Chen Fan arched his hand to everyone.
Chen Fan's explanation shocked the jaws of a dry person. These words are impossible to refute, the painting you see is a mountain, it is a plum, what people see is an immortal, it is the road to becoming an immortal, this is the gap, this is the fate, everyone was speechless for a while.
The most unsettled in the hearts of all the people is still the three elders of Meishan, the three elders of Meishan, are three brothers, claiming to be Mei Da, Mei Er, Mei San, studying under Tianji Pavilion, proficient in Tianji arithmetic, the reason why they left Meishan, is because Mei Da suddenly had a whim three days ago, and started a hexagram, the hexagram shows that people who are destined for Tianji Diagram will appear in Yuzhang Wangfu today, so the three of them went down to Meishan and came here today.
This celestial diagram is the treasure of the heavenly machine pavilion, which can block the celestial machine and predict the future, but unfortunately as early as thousands of years ago, it lost its role and became a fan diagram. The people in the Heavenly Machine Pavilion for generations have wanted to restore the effect of this diagram, but unfortunately all kinds of methods have been tried, but to no avail. With the failure of the Tianji Diagram, this Tianji Pavilion has gradually declined, and now there are only three people left in Meishan to support the operation of the Tianji Pavilion.
Tianji Pavilion was originally made a living by divination, with the occasional error in divination, and now it has gradually made a living by helping people inquire about the news, it can be said that one generation is not as good as a generation, to the hands of the three Meishan brothers, because these three people do not like red dust and mundane things, this day the machine pavilion is becoming more and more decayed, the disciples have received more than a dozen people, but unfortunately there is no one who is talented, this Tianji arithmetic is obscure and profound, it is difficult for ordinary people to understand, the three brothers of Meishan have spent many years of effort, but they have not been able to teach a decent apprentice, as the age of the three increases, This heart is becoming more and more anxious, and he doesn't expect anyone to carry forward the Tianji Pavilion, as long as it can be passed on, these three people will be satisfied. But now, suddenly someone who is related to the Heavenly Machine Diagram appears, and these three people can imagine their hearts.
