Chapter 85: Out of Context
Wang Duoer pulled Meng Wen to the desk and set up the pen and paper. He sat next to him and stared at Meng Wen motionlessly. That posture seemed to be afraid that Meng Wen would be lazy. It made Meng Wen big for a while. It seems that it is not possible to write something about it. It's not appropriate to write love poems, after all, it's my cousin.
Meng Wen thought about it, and suddenly thought of a poem "Broken Chapter" that he had read in a junior high school book, which is more in line with the current environment, and from this back room, you can see the Lion Bridge not far away.
"Broken Chapter" is a representative work of the "Crescent School" poet Bian Zhilin. The whole poem has only four sentences with a total of 34 words, and the language is simple and plain, but the philosophy of life contained in it is quite rich, which provides many possibilities for people's appreciation.
The poet himself once said that "Broken Chapter" "writes the artistic conception of a moment." At that time, I loved to think that people and things in the world are closely related, interdependent and interactive. People ('you') can see the scenery, or they may consciously or unconsciously decorate the scenery, and people ('you') can see the bright moon decorate their own windows, or they may consciously or unconsciously become the decoration of other people's dreams.
Chen Mengjia, a disciple of the famous poet Wen Yiduo, also said in the Preface to Selected Poems of the New Moon that Bian Zhilin's poems are often strange in lightness, like a plate of sand that cannot see the amount of water contained underneath. "Broken Chapter" is just a strange and philosophical one.
Thinking of this, Meng Wen picked up the pen and began to write,
"You stand on the bridge and look at the scenery,
The people watching the view are watching you from upstairs.
The moon adorns your windows,
You decorate other people's dreams. ”
Duo'er saw that Meng Wen was starting to write, so she hurriedly came up, and her brother Wang Bo left and right, carefully staring at the poems written by Meng Wen. When Duo'er read the fourth sentence, she saw Meng Wen stop writing, Duo'er thought that Meng Wen was stuck in words, and she didn't make a sound, for fear of disturbing Meng Wen's train of thought.
Who knew that Meng Wen took the pen and looked at it carefully, then dropped the pen and handed the manuscript directly to Duo'er. Duo'er watched Meng Wen's movements, took the manuscript paper, and couldn't help asking, "What about the back, why didn't you write it?"
"No, that's all there are in these four sentences. ”
"Just these four sentences, no, it's too little. ”
"If you have a lot of words, it will become prose, and most of the Tang poems you learned when you were a child were not four lines. How good and philosophical this poem is. Meng Wen persuaded. Meng Wen also knew that this poem was a little shorter, but there was no way, this poem was originally taken out by the author in a long poem and became an independent chapter, so it was named Broken Chapter. It's a pity that Meng Wen didn't read that long poem, otherwise he would have written it directly to Duo'er.
"No, no, no," Doll shook her head vigorously.
"Don't take me and give it to Wang Lei"
"Thank you, Brother Meng Wen. Next to him, Wang Lei didn't wait for Meng Wen to finish speaking, and grabbed the manuscript paper. made Meng Wen so helpless, he just said okay, don't be so serious. Where is the proud Wang Bo in the past? Now he is so polite to himself for the sake of a poem. How did Meng Wen know that Wang Bo still wanted to wait for Meng Wen to sign it, even if he didn't have this poem, he would be polite to Meng Wen.
"Brother Meng Wen" Duo'er said in a long voice, "Look, my brother has it, you have to write me a song." ”
"It's something you don't want yourself, okay. Meng Wen said with a wry smile.
"You just write a poem for others, you see that you have only written a poem in ten minutes, and if you think about it carefully, you will definitely be able to write a good one. Wang Duoer began to be coquettish.
"Alright, alright. I'm really convinced. I'm writing the last one, and if you don't want it, I won't have it. ”
"Okay" Duo'er happily agreed, thought about it for fear of not being safe, and said: "However, it can't be as short as the one just now." ”
"Don't worry, it's going to be longer than the one just now."
After Meng Wen finished speaking, he picked up the pen and began to write, which is also a famous poem related to the sea in his previous life that Meng Wen inadvertently glanced at the Haihe River outside just now, and suddenly remembered it.
"Facing the Sea, Spring Blossoms" is a lyrical masterpiece by Hai Zi, one of the famous "Three Poets of Peking University". This poem uses simple, clear, timeless and fresh language to imagine a fresh and lovely, vibrant and happy life in the world, and expresses the poet's sincere and kind prayer that every stranger will be happy in the world.
The sea is the core image in Haizi's poems, vast and vast, relaxed, and vibrant, it is the hometown of requiem, the land of struggle, the land of ideals, the spiritual destination of Haizi as a "son of the sea", and the place where he can find true happiness.
But here, the Haihe River is the spiritual destination of Meng Wen, a native of Jinshi, so Meng Wen suddenly decided to change "facing the sea, spring flowers" to "facing the Haihe, spring flowers blooming".
"Facing the Haihe River, the spring flowers are blooming
From tomorrow onwards, be a happy person
Feed the horses, chop wood, and travel the world
From tomorrow, care about food and vegetables
I have a house facing the sea and spring is blooming
From tomorrow onwards, we will communicate with each and every one of our loved ones
Sue them for my happiness
That blissful lightning sues
I will sue everybody
Give every river and every mountain a warm name
Stranger, I bless you too
May you have a bright future
May you have a lover and eventually become married
May you be blessed on earth
I only want to face the Haihe River and bloom in spring."
After Meng Wen finished writing, he put down the pen in his hand and handed the manuscript paper to Duo'er, and before Meng Wen could speak, Duo'er snatched it up.
When Meng Wen wrote it just now, Duo'er watched from the side, and she liked it very much. Now that Meng Wen has finally finished writing, he grabbed the manuscript paper, said "I like this song, thank you Brother Meng Wen" and hurriedly ran out, ready to show it to everyone.
Meng Wen saw that Wang Bo was still standing next to him and didn't move, so he couldn't help asking, "Wang Bo, are you still in trouble?"
Wang Bo said "ah", and said for a long time: "Something." Kindness...... I have a classmate who likes your "Xiao Li Flying Knife" very much, and wants you to sign it, do you think it's okay?"
"I thought what was the matter? He was not polite to me when he grabbed the poem just now, but now he is polite to me again. Meng Wen said with a smile.
"I'll take the books with you" Wang Bo heard Meng Wen agree, and hurriedly ran out, and in less than a minute, he ran in with a schoolbag and took out nine books in a row, a total of three sets of books.
"These three sets are all your classmates," Meng Wen picked up a skillful book and signed his name, and asked casually as he signed.
"One set is mine, and the other two are my classmates," Wang Bo said embarrassedly.
"It's the third year of high school, read less novels, and focus on studying," Meng Wen said.
At the end, Meng Wen deliberately signed his name in the last set of three novels, but also wrote a vertical criticism, "Study hard and give it to my cousin Wang Bo". Wang Bo took the book and read it, he was overjoyed, and said "thank you" to Meng Wen vigorously.
