Chapter 25 Yangping County Educated Youth Literature Seminar
Jiang Yulou found that Tang Yuewen's mood was not very high recently, but he couldn't ask why.
Even, he felt that the girl seemed to be deliberately alienating himself.
Alas, don't guess the girl's mind.
For the time being, he suppressed the idea of looking for a girl to talk deeply, Jiang Yulou was invited to participate in the literary exchange meeting held by Jian Xing and other educated youths in Yangping County.
The venue for the event was in a vacant warehouse in the county, which was provided by a certain educated youth.
Although the environment of the warehouse is not good, the conditions are also simple, but it has been cleaned up in advance, except for the dim light, the others are reasonable.
The type of exchange meeting is a bit like a book club, there are no tables, everyone sits on stools, and gathers around.
This has the advantage of being a relaxed atmosphere that is conducive to communication.
"Everyone stand up, let us welcome Comrade Jiang Yulou to participate in the Yangping County Educated Youth Literature Exchange Conference with warm applause!"
More than a dozen educated youths stood up and applauded where Jiang Yulou was sitting.
Jiang Yulou saw that this was worth it, and hurriedly stood up, applauding and bowing.
After the applause stopped, he said: "Since it is an exchange meeting, let's not be too polite, so that we can all be more comfortable." ”
"Good!"
Everyone laughed, and the tension of seeing the great writer dissipated a lot.
As soon as Jiang Yulou sat down, he saw Jian Xing and said: "First of all, let's ask Comrade Jiang Yulou, the youngest writer in Yangping County, to talk about literary creation. ”
"Good!"
"Great, I've long wanted to hear Comrade Yulou talk about literary creation."
"Last time, I heard Mr. Jiang talk about literary creation, and I felt that I benefited a lot, but I didn't expect to have the opportunity to listen to the teachings today."
Everyone was enthusiastic, and it was a great gain for them to hear Jiang Yulou give a lecture in person.
No one dares to underestimate Jiang Yulou's writing strength, if you look down on others, you write a novel and publish it in a literary journal for everyone to see?
Jiang Yulou glanced at Jian Xing helplessly, and said that the good literary exchange meeting of educated youth, how did it become a lecture for him alone?
Shaking his head amusedly, he said, "Since everyone wants to hear me, then I'll just talk about it briefly." ”
After a little thought, he continued: "As we all know, literature is the art of language and writing, an important form of expression of social culture, and the embodiment of beauty.
A literary work is a work in which a writer expresses his or her unique spiritual world with unique language and art, and there is no real literary work without the uniqueness of these two highly individual characteristics. ”
The crowd listened quietly, and only felt that he was very reasonable.
In particular, Jiang Yulou compares literary works to works that express his unique spiritual world, and everyone feels that what is right cannot be more right.
If it weren't for the fear of affecting him, everyone would have applauded and shouted.
Jiang Yulou saw that everyone was listening carefully, so he continued: "An outstanding writer is a hero of a nation's spiritual world. Literature represents the art and wisdom of a people. Literature is a discipline that uses language and writing to express social life and psychological activities, and belongs to the category of social ideology. ”
Heroes of the psychic world?!
Everyone was stunned, he said too big, beyond the cognition of the educated youth.
Someone couldn't help but say loudly: "Teacher Jiang, is what you said too exaggerated?" ”
Jiang Yulou did not feel displeased by suspicion, but said with a smile: "No, excellent writers can even be loved by enemy people." ”
In order to prove it, he told a story: "Su Shi, a politician and lyricist in the Northern Song Dynasty, everyone knows Su Dongpo, right?" ”
"One of the three Sus, I know."
"I still remember Mr. Dongpo's "Red Cliff Fu"!"
"Su Shi's words and fu are excellent, and I learned them when I was in school before."
Everyone, you and I are talking word by word.
At this time, a clever ghost said in a loud voice: "You know, you know, the creator of Dongpo meat!" ”
"Hahaha."
Everyone laughed, and even Jiang Yulou laughed.
"That's right, everyone remembers Su Shi's works, which proves his status in my country's literary circle, and without excellent works, it will not be sung for many years. This is precisely the spiritual wealth that writers have left to our descendants. ”
Jiang Yulou paused, and said: "It is never an exaggeration to say that Su Shi is the first writer in the Northern Song Dynasty based on his literary achievements, Mr. Dongpo is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and he became famous as a young man, and the articles he wrote made Ouyang Xiu, a master in the literary world, admire!" After middle age, he became famous all over the world, admired by everyone, and became a generation of Wenzong. ”
Everyone nodded, who could not be convinced by Su Dongpo's achievements.
Immediately afterwards, he told everyone a story about Su Dongpo as evidence:
"In August of the fourth year of Song Zhezong Yuanyou, the birthday of the Liao Emperor Yelu Hongji, Su Shi's younger brother Su Zhe, as an envoy of the Great Song Dynasty, went to congratulate the Liao Emperor on his birthday. When Su Zhe arrived in Liao, the monarchs and ministers of Liao State warmly welcomed him, and kept asking Su Zhe: 'Is Master Su safe?' 'Does it mean that your brother Mr. Su Dongpo is okay?' Su Zhe said that my brother is very good, thank you for your concern.
On the way back from Su Zhe's envoy, he passed through Zhuozhou, Hebei, and wrote a poem about the situation of the envoy, and sent someone to send it to his brother Su Shi. Don't make a name for yourself, I'm afraid he will be in the rivers and lakes for a long time. "The meaning of this poem is: Brother, your reputation is too great, even the people of Liao are vying for greetings, with such high popularity and popularity, it seems that brother, you will not be able to enjoy the purity of the countryside in the future."
"You see, when a writer's literary achievements reach the level of a literary emperor and a writer, even the head of the enemy country will become a fan."
A simple story that makes everyone's hearts surge.
If he can achieve Su Dongpo's achievements in the future, he will be famous for eternity even if he dies.
Someone else asked, "Mr. Jiang, is there a distinction between high and low literary forms?" ”
Jiang Yulou replied: "Literary forms include novels, essays, poems, reportage, scripts, folklore, fables, notebook novels, wild histories, fairy tales, couplets, philosophical sayings, fu, pun essays, essays, literary criticism, and film scripts.
In different forms, i.e., genres, it expresses inner emotions and reproduces the social life of a certain period and a certain region. Literature as a discipline includes language and literature, Chinese foreign language literature, etc. ”
"Strictly speaking, there is no such thing as high or low literature. You can become a writer by writing novels, and you can also be a writer when you write movies and TV scripts. ”
Jian Xing raised his hand and said, "Jade...... Mr. Jiang, what about poetry? ”
In this era, the educated youth, or the cultural class, talk more about prose and novels, and even the folk, but the once brilliant poetry has become a niche literary and artistic work.
After thinking for a moment, Jiang Yulou said: "The magic of poetic language lies in the ability to piece together seemingly cold words into a beautiful and moving verse.
Its charm also lies in the fact that it has a deep artistic conception appeal, poetic language comes from emotion, and the deepest emotion is often unable to be expressed with precise words, just like a thousand words between two lovers who are as deep as the sea can only be turned into a simple and simple "I love you", not to mention that many times emotions are unclear and difficult to describe, far more complex than logical or rational words. ”
"Teacher Jiang, write a poem and let us see it for a long time."
