Chapter 332: Immortal Qi is vast!
Ye Luo gave a total of three excerpts, the number of words is not very many, and the content is not coherent.
The first article is that when Li Bai has not yet come out, he is full of ambition and is ready to wait for an opportunity to show his ambitions. On the bank of the Yangtze River, on the Yellow Crane Tower, I sent my friend Meng Haoran and wrote this poem "Yellow Crane Tower to Meng Haoran's Guangling", and his poem changed the sadness and reluctance of the farewell poem, and the whole article is an open-minded and chic feeling.
But speaking of which, this poem did not touch Li Wenzheng and others much.
What really moved them was "Will Enter the Wine" in the second excerpt.
This poem was written after Li Bai was given money back, and the amnesia in the officialdom made Li Bai feel very uncomfortable. However, as chic as him, in the face of such a result, he is not like others sighing. On the contrary, under resentment, he wrote the sentence "I was born to be useful, and my daughter will come back after I am gone", and the heroism and self-confidence contained in it shocked Li Wenzheng too strongly.
To be honest, after reading "Will Enter the Wine", these people couldn't calm down in their hearts for a long time.
And then, everyone read the third excerpt of "Sleepwalking in the Sky and Leaving Farewell".
The background of the writing of this poem, Ye Luo's introduction is also very detailed.
In the third year of Tianbao, after Li Bai was given gold and released, he returned to his homeland in Shandong. After that, he once again embarked on a journey to explore the rivers and mountains. This poem was written when he was about to leave Shandong and go to Wuyue.
"Will Enter the Wine" was written in the eleventh year of Tianbao, and this poem "Sleepwalking in the Sky and Leaving Farewell" was written in the fifth year of Tianbao before that.
In terms of time, Ye Luo should have placed this poem before "Will Enter the Wine". But in the documents sent by Ye Luo, the order of these three poems is placed in this way.
Maybe he was negligent.
But more likely, he put it that way on purpose.
Among these excerpts he showed to the Ancient Literature Association, there was nothing about Li Bai's deeds in the capital.
Even, he didn't even reveal how Li Bai stepped into his career.
And only in a few words, it was mentioned that Li Bai was specially recruited by the emperor because of his outstanding talent, and finally in the third year of Tianbao, he was given gold and released, and Li Bai left the officialdom from then on.
In fact, if Ye Luo really wanted Li Wenzheng and them to know the source of the title of "Poetry Immortal", he should have written the poem "Shu Dao Difficulty". Because, the word "immortal" is the evaluation given by He Zhizhang after reading Li Bai's "Shu Dao Difficulty". Since then, the name of the poet has gradually spread.
However, Ye Luo did not do this.
For one, these three poems are just a front-line fight. Second, he also wants everyone to slowly taste the meaning of the word "poetic fairy" from the poem itself.
For this book, not only the literary world and fans attach great importance to it, but even Ye Luo himself.
Of course, at this time, Li Wenzheng and the others didn't know Ye Luo's thoughts.
After reading the previous plot, everyone also understood Li Bai's situation at this time.
Although politically devastated, Li Bai has always been a romantic and free man, and he is unwilling to live in his home in Donglu, but chooses to embark on the journey again. Therefore, this song "Sleepwalking in Tianmu Yin Farewell" is also called "Sleepwalking in Tianmu Mountain and Farewell to Donglu Zhugong".
This is a sleepwalk, a poem of wandering immortals, and it can be seen as a parting poem.
Everyone cheered up, and they didn't read many poems with multiple themes like this.
"Seafarers talk about Yingzhou, and it is difficult to find a letter in the smoke and waves."
"The more people talk about the sky, the clouds may be visible."
Yingzhou.
Tianmu Mountain.
These two place names are known to everyone.
However, the next description of Tianmu Mountain made everyone present gasp.
"The heavenly grandmother is horizontal, and the five mountains are pulled out to cover the red city."
"The rooftop is 48,000 feet, and I want to fall southeast of it."
Exaggeration!
This is the ultimate exaggeration!
They have already seen it in "Will Enter the Wine", but the impact of these two sentences still makes everyone's scalp numb.
This kind of whimsical sentence formation is really unimaginable to them.
The words are bold, but they are magnificent and majestic, and they are not abrupt, which is really convincing.
"I want to dream of Wu Yue, and fly to the mirror lake and moon in one night."
"The lake and the moon shine on me, send me to Yanxi."
"Gong Xie's residence is still there today, and the water is rippling and the ape is crying."
"With Xie Gong's clogs on his feet, he climbed the green cloud ladder."
Among these sentences, it is easy to understand, mainly because of the "Xie Gong" mentioned in it, which makes them frown a little.
Everyone searched and thought about it, but they couldn't find a corresponding figure in history.
In the end, I can only sigh, this is the "foreshadowing" left by Mr. Ye again, right?
They can be regarded as accustomed to it for a long time, knowing that Ye Luo is in the creative process, and likes to create some characters or allusions by themselves. In order to leave a "hook" for the subsequent books. This habit of his began in the first article he wrote, "The Burrow".
The two sentences "Nanyang Zhuge Lu, Xishu Ziyunting" didn't know how many people were confused at that time. Now everyone knows what Zhuge Lu means, but Xishu Ziyunting has not explained for a long time.
Perhaps, Mr. Ye himself has forgotten, right?
The crowd was not surprised.
You don't have to dig deeper, just understand the general meaning.
"Half of the wall sees the sea and the sun, and the air smells the chicken."
"Thousands of rocks are uncertain, and the flowers are leaning on the stones."
"The bear roars and the dragon sings Yin Yanquan, and the chestnut deep forest is terrifying."
"The clouds are green and green and want rain, and the water is surging and smoking."
"There is a lack of thunderbolts, and the hills are destroyed."
"The stone door of the cave is suddenly opened."
"The blue and dark are bottomless, and the sun and moon shine on the gold and silver platform."
"Ni is the clothes and the wind is the horse, and the kings of the clouds are coming down one after another."
"The tiger drum is rushing back to the car, and the immortals are lined up like hemp."
"Suddenly the soul throbbed with courage, and the trance rose and groaned."
"But the pillow of the time, the smoke of the lost direction."
"The same is true of the pleasures of the world, and everything has flowed in vain since ancient times."
To be honest, this poem is much more obscure than the previous two.
Many of the verses, even professors and experts who specialize in classical literature, need to ponder carefully before they can reflect what they mean.
It's not that there are many obscure words in it, but when this poem is written, the thinking is too jumpy.
When you read it for the first time, it's really confusing if you don't think about it.
"When will you return?"
When I read this sentence, I finally pulled back to reality from the dream, and I also had a little sense of parting.
But soon, the next sentence pulled the artistic conception to the clouds!
"And put the white deer between the green cliffs, you must ride to visit the famous mountain."
Really, who would have thought that there would be such a turn of events here?
Of course, the most shocking thing is the last line of this poem:
"An Neng broke his eyebrows and bent his waist to deal with the powerful, which made me unhappy!"
After reading it, everyone was dumbfounded.
They never expected that the final foothold of this poem would be here.
In the conference room, it was a little quiet. For a while, everyone didn't know how to express their feelings.
This poem is quite complicated.
It's much more complicated than the previous two.
Not only the complexity of Li Bai's homesickness, but also the structural layout of the poem itself, the transformation of rhymes, etc., are all worth studying.
This poem seems to be Li Bai's yearning for the illusory world of immortals, with some negative emotions in his thoughts, but in fact, to a certain extent, it can reflect that Li Bai has spiritually got rid of the shackles of the world. And this led him to make an agitated cry at the end of the poem, "An Neng broke his eyebrows and bent his waist to deal with the powerful, making me unhappy". And this kind of passionate and upward emotion also echoes the idea of "I am born to be useful, and my daughter will come back when I am gone" in the previous poem "Will Enter the Wine".
Of course, some people have produced these things, and some people have not.
After all, the time is too short, and everyone has only read it cursoly.
For most people, the first reaction after reading this poem "Sleepwalking in the Sky and Leaving Farewell" is that this poem is "too immortal"!
As for where is the "immortal"?
But I don't know how to talk about it.
Li Wenzheng and Feng Jiahua are feeling like this now.
Perhaps, they will be able to understand it after slowly reminiscing and scrutinizing it carefully.
However, apparently time did not allow them to savor it at this time, Professor Liu Ying broke the silence, and she said excitedly: "Now you understand, right? O poet! It's really a poet! ”
Professor Liu Ying has read this poem.
That's why she was so excited.
In this poem, she really saw a "fairy talent" who did not belong to this world!
How can such a poem be made by a mortal?
How can such a spiritual realm be possessed by ordinary people?
There is no trace of the poem, and the people are even more impressive!
But Chairman Li Wenzheng shook his head and smiled bitterly, he and Professor Feng Jiahua glanced at each other, and they both saw the helplessness in each other's eyes.
To be honest, they really don't know much.
But at this point, it was clear that what they were thinking didn't matter anymore.
Because, Mr. Cao also said: "If you still have doubts before, it is still understandable." But if you still have doubts after reading this song, then you can't say anything. ”
Although Mr. Cao spoke softly, his tone was unquestionable, "It is true that the three poems are a little few, which is not enough to prove that Li Bai is worthy of the title of poet immortal." But these three poems can at least prove that Li Bai has the possibility of becoming a poet immortal. ”
Mr. Cao's words leave a lot of room than what Professor Liu Ying said.
His meaning is also obvious, these three poems are too few, but he feels that these three poems, especially the last two, are definitely beyond the written ability of others. If you call Li Bai a poet immortal based on these two poems alone, it is a bit excessive. But if Li Bai can continue to maintain this level in the future, then he is a poet immortal!
At least, Mr. Cao Libao will definitely approve!
And Mr. Cao's remarks can be regarded as defining the character of today's meeting.
Originally, they held this small meeting today to study Li Bai's three poems, are they worthy of the title of poet immortal?
Now it seems that although Chairman Li Wenzheng and Professor Feng Jiahua and others still have scruples, at least they will not refute anything, after all, Li Bai has indeed brought them a lot of shock.
Moreover, what they will think to themselves is not what Li Bai's poems write, but self-reflection.
Chairman Li Wenzheng calmed down and said: "None of us are experts in ancient poetry, and since Professor Liu and Mr. Cao have said so, we naturally have no objections. And when I look at the stories of these three excerpts, although the refinement is a little simpler, I can still see from some details that Mr. Ye's description of the Tang Dynasty is still as true as ever. Well, I think there should be no problem with this "The Legend of Tang Poets". ”
He no longer bothered about these professional matters, but began to arrange the next work, "Since Mr. Ye has already sent us the excerpt, I think our Ancient Literature Association should also have some actions." ”
Speaking of work, the atmosphere in the conference room finally came alive. When Fang Cai was reading the poems, everyone's spirits were really too tight.
Although the fire is still a little foggy now, and my heart is somewhat bottomless, it is definitely not as apprehensive as it was at the beginning.
What is the book "The Legend of Tang Poets and Immortals"?
They don't know.
Even after reading the three excerpts given by Ye Luo, most of them are still confused.
This is also something that can't be helped, although the ancient literature association is engaged in classical culture research, but the direction of subdivision is different after all.
Not everyone has such a deep understanding of ancient poetry as Professor Liu Ying and Mr. Cao Libao. In such a short period of time, the charm of poetry and immortality was tasted.
Feng Jiahua proposed: "Now the discussion on the Internet about Mr. Ye's new book has been hot. I feel like we can add another fire. Gather some media privately and ask them to write some press releases about the new book. The popularity is higher on the Internet, and at this time, we are taking advantage of the trend to launch these three excerpts, which can be regarded as a precursor to the new book. ”
But Professor Liu Ying frowned and asked, "Do you want to release these three poems?" ”
Feng Jiahua was stunned, "Otherwise?" ”
Professor Liu Ying said, "When we released "The Biography of the Poetry and Buddha" and "The Biography of the Poetry Star", we no longer announced the content of the book in advance. This time I released "The Legend of the Poetry Immortals", I don't think it's better to reveal anything in advance. At most, just give the book a title. ”
When they released "The Legend of Tang Poetry", they didn't even disclose the title of the book.
According to Liu Ying's meaning, such an important book as "The Legend of Poetry and Immortals" must be guarded even more strictly, and no news can be revealed until the day of the new book launch.
If you want it, it's a shock!
But Feng Jiahua also has his own considerations, "Professor Liu, I'm not saying that your idea is bad. Mainly, this time it's the Tang Dynasty poets, this name is too loud. Why don't we take advantage of it? How about attracting more attention in the early stages? ”
Professor Liu Ying also has his own reasons, "It is precisely because this name is so loud that we should first hang everyone's appetite, and when the time comes, won't the traffic be greater?" ”
"Okay, okay, don't make any noise."
Chairman Li Wenzheng waved his hand, "I think it's better not to post it yet, and I'll talk about it after Mr. Ye's book comes out." He still had concerns in his heart, "Of course, there should be no less publicity." Continue to build momentum on the Internet, and the topic must not be lowered. We must be willing to spend money, not only Mr. Ye's own business, but also a major event in our classical literature world! ”
Seeing that Chairman Li Wenzheng had made a decision, everyone didn't say anything more.
But just after they dismissed the meeting, an announcement issued by the Wen Zhen Group caught them all off guard.
