38. The poem frightens the ghosts and gods, and the yellow crane immortals go
"Floors?"
"Or is it about climbing the stairs?"
Zhao Xuanqi sat in his position, and there was a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone in front of him.
Several other new imperial examination people also sat in each other's positions, looking at the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone on the table in a daze, presumably racking their brains to think of poetry, looking like they were meditating.
Writing poems with the title of Lou is actually a relatively old-fashioned topic, there are many people who write it, and it is easy to make poems, even if it is the lowest level of talent, it is easy to make poems.
However, it is precisely because this topic is old-fashioned and there are too many people who write about it, so it puts too much pressure on the scholars.
After all, there are many people who write, the quality is uneven, and there are many very poor climbing verses, but on the contrary, there are many good verses written.
The predecessors are in front of them, raising the threshold of climbing poems and refreshing people's horizons, so it is not easy to write a commendable climbing poem.
On the contrary, it invisibly gave countless pressure to the younger generations, and it was too difficult to make a poem that did not fall too far behind the ancestors with the theme of Lou.
It's stressful!
"To sum up, writing poems about climbing the stairs is very simple, the lower limit is very low, and it can be written by a person, but because there are countless ancestors in front of the pearls and jades, if you want to make a good poem about climbing, it is not simple!"
Zhao Xuanqi didn't look at it much, and soon looked at his desk and entered into thought.
Take the building as the theme.
Take the climb as the theme.
This is the subject decided by the officials.
He has no power to change.
Those of them, who are not in office for the time being, are not in a position to discuss the subject with the examiners.
You can only write poems on the topics required by the examiner.
The others were racking their brains to organize the verses, but Zhao Xuanqi was already rummaging through his memories, looking for the poems about Lou made by the ancestors of Huaxia.
"There are also Yueyang Tower, Yellow Crane Tower, Tengwang Loft, and various famous buildings in this world, I can just copy one."
"But which is the best copy?"
Zhao Xuanqi pondered.
According to his thinking, of course, it is the most awesome to copy Wang Bo's Tengwang Pavilion Order.
After all, this preface to the Pavilion of King Teng, known as the first prose of the ages, the words and sentences are gorgeous, each sentence is quoted from the classics, so exquisite that people dare not look at it directly, inside the "Luoxia and the lonely heron fly together, and the autumn water is the same color as the sky." "It's even more beautiful, and it's been passed down through the ages.
It's just that there are too many scriptures quoted in it, all of them are classics in China, and many of the classics in it are not in line with the Northern Wei Kingdom, so Zhao Xuanqi can't copy it at all.
Once copied out, people can't understand the meaning of the words at all.
"It's okay, you can't copy this one, then copy another one." A smile appeared on the corner of Zhao Xuanqi's mouth, he had already thought of a good verse.
So easily, I picked up the pen and wrote:
Yellow Crane Tower
The people of the past have gone by the yellow crane,
The Yellow Crane Tower is vacant here.
The yellow crane is gone,
The white clouds have been empty for thousands of years.
Qingchuan calendar Hanyang tree,
Grass and Parrot Island.
Where is Sunset Township?
The Yanbo River makes people sad.
This song from Cui Hao's Yellow Crane Tower in the Tang Dynasty is very famous, and even Li Bai, who is known as a poet, is willing to bow down.
It is rumored that the poet fairy Li Bai came to the Yellow Crane Tower and wanted to compose a poem, and just wanted to recite it, but when he looked up, he saw this poem, admired this poem very much, and issued a sigh of "There is a scene in front of me, and Cui Hao's inscription poem is above".
It just so happens that there is also a Yellow Crane Tower in this world, and there is also a Parrot Island in front of the Yellow Crane Tower, which one can you copy if you don't copy this poem?
……
"Huh? Did this son make a poem so quickly? Some officials sighed in surprise.
Wu Youwei was stunned when he heard this, looked up, and found that Zhao Xuanqi was already writing poems.
He writes very quickly, and he has obviously finished the poem, waiting to finish it.
"I remember that it was only a few pillars of incense, and the speed of making poetry was too fast, right? That's amazing! Someone complimented.
However, some people slanderously said: "If you want to make a good poem, where is it so simple? I'm afraid that in order to compose poems faster, he will be the first, and write a random poem to fool us. ”
"It's very likely, after all, if you want to make a good poem, where can you make it so quickly? This guy is a bit stupid, he shouldn't be doing poetry for the sake of speed, it's a bit grandstanding! ”
"It's okay, let's just go and see!" Wu Youwei said with a smile.
He took a few officials and slowly came behind Zhao Xuanqi, and happened to see Zhao Xuanqi finish writing the last word.
"You're done with the verse?"
"Tell your lordship, it's already written."
Wu Youwei nodded and slowly picked up the post.
But in my heart, I thought, I hope this guy doesn't make a random poem to fool himself in order to compose a poem quickly!
Otherwise, it's too disappointing, don't blame yourself for not giving him a face to reprimand him!
He thought so in his heart, and then looked at the post, looking at the verses on it seriously.
"Huh?" Wu Youwei had a surprised expression on his face.
Several other officials also voiced dismay.
"The people of the past have taken the yellow crane to go, and the yellow crane tower is vacant here......"
It's not that Zhao Xuanqi wrote it too badly.
It's just so well written!
This song of the Yellow Crane Tower, it is simply an eye-opener, as if a sentence comes from the sky, every sentence is set against the Yellow Crane Tower, the fairy spirit is fluttering, the Zen charm is full, how can mortals think of this kind of verse?
The problem is, you're writing poetry too fast, aren't you?
It's only been two or three pillars of incense, and the poem has been successfully written, and it is written so well, is this a monster?
You must know that other new imperial examination people are still racking their brains to think about how to write, you have finished writing, and you have written so well!
Do you want people to live!
Several other new imperial examination people also discovered the situation on Zhao Xuanqi's side, looking at the shocked and praised expressions of the examiners, even if they couldn't see any poems written by Zhao Xuanqi, they also squeaked in their hearts, and they felt bad.
Momentary stress.
So they grabbed their heads, trying to come up with poems quickly, and their heads were too big.
Half an hour has passed, and the remaining nine new imperial examiners have barely written all the poems.
Ten poems are placed together, and everyone appreciates them together.
"It's worthy of being the first, this Yellow Crane Tower is really amazing!"
Not only did the officials gasp, but also the top ten people in this year's rankings also widened their eyes and kept exclaiming, staring at Zhao Xuanqi's poems.
There is no accident, Zhao Xuanqi is worthy of the name of the first, not only the best poetry, but also the speed of writing poetry.
The fairy poem of the Yellow Crane Tower shines at this moment and makes everyone impressed.
The poems written by others in a hurry are like a piece of shit compared to Zhao Xuanqi's, which is not eye-catching at all.
"It is worthy of being the first, and the first place is worthy of the name!" Various officials praised.
Then Wu Youwei picked up the ten posts and personally pasted them on the highest floor of Ziyun Tower, and placed them in the most conspicuous place as a collection.
Later, the officials and scholars who visited here could see these poems for future generations to enjoy.
It is conceivable that Zhao Xuanqi's poem will definitely crush all other poems and pass on through the ages.
Several officials couldn't help but feel jealous in their hearts, how good it would be if this poem was written by themselves!
It's just a pity that this batch of other top 10 lifters.
Among them, there are also people who make poems perfectly, beautifully, and they are absolutely top-notch in the past, which can be praised.
However, now that Zhao Xuanqi's poems are in a batch, the light on these poems has been sucked away by Zhao Xuanqi's poems, but they are not worth mentioning, and the contrast is very poor, and no one will devote their attention to these verses.
