Chapter Seventy-Three: It's Messed Up
After autumn in the imperial capital, the weather is getting cooler and cooler, and the pedestrians on the street are also wearing gowns.
However, this cool autumn mood did not stop the enthusiasm of the literary world.
This time, "The Legend of the Tang Poets" has completely sold out.
Readers who bought the book immediately began to study it.
That's right! It's study!
If you watch it too quickly, you can't figure out the complex character relationships and social background in "The Biography of the Tang Poets".
Even, the content of poetry and articles that readers are most concerned about also needs to be read slowly. After all, this book is essentially a novel, not a collection of poems dedicated to analyzing poetry. The works in it are also presented to the reader as the plot progresses, which leads to the fact that there is very little content about the analysis of poetry in the book. And even if there is, it is through other people's evaluations.
Therefore, this requires readers to ponder for themselves what Liu Yuxi's poem and words want to express through the environment in which Liu Yuxi is located in the previous article.
To be honest, this kind of reading experience is extremely novel for most people.
It's like there's a mountain of gold in front of you, you can see it, but you need to find your way to the mountain in the morning, and this sense of interaction is definitely not experienced in other poetry collections.
Even, the same poem, in the eyes of different people, the meaning is likely to be very different.
At the beginning, there was not much discussion on the Internet about the content of "The Biography of Tang Poets", basically complaining that they didn't grab the book, or that the readers who grabbed the book were showing off.
After all, this book is two million words, plus it is a biographical novel, there are no chapters, and there is no table of contents. If you want to know what is written in it, you can only read it little by little.
So much so that the "Biography of the Tang Poets", which was full of expectations before publication, will actually stop.
But, this is just the calm before the storm.
The quiet time didn't last long, and soon some readers posted their feelings after reading.
This is still a well-known blogger in the literary circle, whose online name is "A Wei Pin Poetry", he posted a long article, "I borrowed a copy of Mr. Ye Luo's "Biography of Tang Poets" with my friends, and quickly took a look at the poems in it, everyone knows, I am not interested in novels, so today we will not discuss the plot of the novel itself, only talk about the poems in it." ”
"First of all, I began to think that when the Ancient Literature Association was already publicizing, all the best poems in this book had been released. For example, the poem at the beginning of the previous online release, I'm not saying that the writing is bad, but how does it compare with "Autumn Words"? How does it compare to "Reward for Happiness"? Everyone must know it. ”
"But, it turned out that I was too small. There are so many classic poems in this book, I only read them cursoly, and I haven't read them carefully, but even so, there are too many poems in it that amaze me. Here, I would like to recommend a few must-read poems to you. "Wangdongting", "Xisai Mountain Nostalgia", "Reward Paradise Yong Lao Show", whether you like the novel or not, these poems are the masterpieces you should not miss! Next, I will analyze them for you one by one, of course, first of all, these are all on behalf of my personal opinion, everyone can have fun, please bear with me if I don't say it right......"
This is a blogger who specializes in explaining poetry, and he posts long articles, followed by some explanations about his favorite poems.
Although this blogger didn't pay much attention to the plot of the novel in reading, I have to say that the poems he selected are indeed Liu Yuxi's masterpieces.
There are also a lot of comments from netizens below.
"Does Ah Wei read books so fast? More than two million words, have you finished reading them? ”
"People Ah Wei is jumping to watch, he only reads the poetry is good! I haven't read the poems he said, but I just read them, and it's really well written! Especially in this song "Looking at Dongting", the lake and autumn moon are harmonious, and the surface of the pond has no wind mirrors and is not polished. Looking at the green mountains and rivers of Dongting from afar, there is a green snail in the silver plate. If you want to say that "Autumn Words" is a masterpiece of writing autumn, then this "Wangdongting" is the pinnacle of writing autumn scenes! ”
"It's a bit of an exaggeration to say that it is the peak, there are many masterpieces written by ancient poets about autumn scenes, and there are also better ones than this. But if you want to say that this is the pinnacle of today's autumn scenes, I agree. ”
"I like these two sentences in "Reward for the Joy of the Elders to Show Me", 'Mo Dao Sangyu is late, and the sky is still full of xia'. Alas, I'm old, if I reach Liu Yuxi's age, how good it would be to have his positive and optimistic attitude. ”
"I just watched "Wuyi Lane", in the old days, Wang Xie Tang Qianyan, flew into the homes of ordinary people, although I don't know what Wang Xie is, but I can understand the general meaning, I feel that many of Liu Yuxi's poems are quite philosophical."
As time went on, more and more readers joined the discussion. Some people have already read it roughly, and some people have not read the whole book, but they have read a lot of the previous content.
Everyone posted their opinions on the Internet.
Someone said: "Although this "Biography of the Tang Poets" is a novel, it is actually more like a collection of poems, a collection of poems with a beginning and an end, flesh and blood!" ”
This view has been recognized by many people.
"yes, that's what I'm here for."
"Liu Yuxi is a poet, this book is a collection of Liu Yuxi's poems dressed as a novel!"
"It's a lot more interesting than reading a poetry book."
But soon, such a view was criticized by many readers.
"A collection of poems? You're funny, aren't you? Have you read it? Be! There are indeed a lot of poems in this book, but are many of the articles written by people good? ”
"I'll go! What is the point of the poem? Can't you just take a closer look? ”
"It's just that you didn't read it well when I saw it."
"Although this book is called "The Biography of Poets", you don't really think that Liu Yuxi is a literati who writes poetry and articles, right? Wouldn't it, wouldn't it? ”
"No, your uncle! Lao Tzu is so annoying about this sentence! Will you be able to speak well? ”
"To be honest, the people who stare at those few poetry articles are too small. Mr. Ye Luo's original intention in writing this book was definitely not to write these poems and articles! Literary things are all small paths in this book! If you read carefully, you will find that what Mr. Ye Luo's book wants to express is his dissatisfaction with the political darkness of the Tang Dynasty at that time, as well as Liu Yuxi's excellent personal character. ”
"Small pattern? Doesn't Lao Tzu like to read poetry? Under the pattern, you have a big pattern! The Ancient Literature Association says that Liu Yuxi's poems are good, and you know more than the Ancient Literature Association? You know the king, right? ”
"Hehe, don't be unconvinced by those who say poetry, the poems in this book are just an embellishment, in order to set off the personality charm of Liu Yuxi! This is a novel, isn't it funny if you stare at those poems? ”
"Fuck your uncle! How many poems are that? Are you kidding me? How many poems do you call more than 800 poems? ”
……
At first, the poems in the book were the most discussed by online readers, but as more and more readers have read the whole work, readers who discuss poetry in this way have been labeled as unpopular by these readers later.
In this way, the contradictions between the readers erupt at once.
Some people think that Liu Yuxi is a great writer, and the poems he writes are good, and Mr. Ye Luo's book is specially created for these poems! Even, they moved out of the Ancient Literature Association, which was promoted like this at the beginning!
Another wave of people scoffed at this point of view, and they named the book "The Biography of the Tang Poets" for Mr. Ye Luo, which is just an entry point. In fact, this book focuses on not describing these poems and articles at all, but through various poems and articles, and even various worlds, to show the optimistic attitude and personal charm of the protagonist Liu Yuxi!
There are many people who support either point of view!
Obviously, they are all fans of the same book, but this will be divided into two camps.
A group of people clamored that "The Biography of the Tang Poets" highlighted a poetry article, Liu Yuxi's personal experience, and even the historical background and political relations of the whole book, are all for the service of these poetry articles!
The other group of people is violently attacking these "literary theories" views, they think that the real wonderful thing about "The Biography of Tang Poets" is precisely Liu Yuxi himself, his optimistic mentality and noble sentiments, these things are what Mr. Ye Luo wants to express. Which poems and articles are to show Liu Yuxi's personal charm.
These two groups of people are arguing on the Internet.
It's even more exaggerated than when the New Literature Association was sprayed at that time!
Even, it didn't take long for the two camps to split again.
Readers who support literary theory, some people think that Liu Yuxi's poems are the most wonderful, but some people think that Liu Yuxi's essays and rhetoric are his highest literary achievements!
While arguing with the readers of the "protagonist theory", they are also confronting their own people.
And that's not all, as more and more readers join in, a variety of perspectives are emerging.
Literary Theory?
Protagonist theory?
None of them are right!
None of what you said is right!
What this novel really wants to show is to criticize the dark political environment of the time, and to show the suffering of the people at the bottom of the ancient society! Even, there are even more extreme readers who shouted that this is the slogan of "borrowing the past to satirize the present"!
Even, even the major supporting characters in the book have a large number of fan groups.
Han yu!
Liu Zongyuan!
Liu Gongquan!
Bai Juyi!
Although there are no poems and essays by these people in the book, there are many places in the book that mention the various achievements of these people, including literature and calligraphy.
There is also an argument between these supporting role fans.
Liu Zongyuan is powerful?
Fart! Liu Zongyuan is powerful, and Han is more powerful?
What is Han Yu? My Bai Juyi Bai Le genius is the most fierce, okay!
It's messy!
It's a complete mess!
Obviously a fan of a book, but this will make everyone's eyes red on the Internet.
PS: This is an update to make up for yesterday. Yesterday it was too late, and I encountered some very bad things during the day, and my heart was very confused, alas.
