All kinds of endowments in the world are born of yin and yang, and there will be some bias, and Confucius specially exemplified a middle realm, which is impartial and just right, and few people can actually do it.

The Book of Rites says, 'Gentleness and generosity, poetry and teaching'. Gentleness and generosity is the edifying effect of the Book of Songs. The Book of Songs was compiled by Confucius, so that it has a certain educational effect. The poems of later generations have not been compiled, and they are not quite in line with the will of gentleness and generosity, Qu Yuan, Tao Yuanming, Li Bai, and Du Fu are all great masters through the ages, but their poems are very powerful, but they are not necessarily edifying. Qu Yuan's loyalty did not change, he sank into Miluo, Du Fu's poems were depressed and frustrated, the most Confucian feelings, and had a profound and far-reaching influence on literature, but they did not conform to the middle way, and if they did not conform to the middle way, it would inevitably have disadvantages.

It is said that the "Book of Music" is the soundtrack of the Book of Songs, and it is not a separate book. Confucius said that music is harmonious, and the spirit of music and poetry is harmonious and unified. Generally speaking, poetry is gentle and lingering, and the soundtrack must be melodious, poetic and generous, and the soundtrack should be strong and powerful. The Yuefu in the poem and the word plate in the lyrics originally contained the purpose of the work, but later the score was lost, and the poet and lyricist arbitrarily did it, and the content of the same Yuefu was irrelevant. The same brand card can also be a completely different style.

Poetry is a good work in literature, but it has lost its edifying effect. The poetry of the Middle Xia can be said to have a long history, lasting for four or five thousand years, and there are generations of masters, but after the Tang and Song poems, they have actually lost their status in the market, and have gradually been replaced by scripts and operas, and have only become a tool for scholars to pay for singing and singing.

Before and after the Ming Dynasty, although the seven sons of Changyan poetry will flourish in the Tang Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty also saw a revival of lexicology, but its influence in the secular world is very weak. It is far from being comparable to Tang and Song poems.

After the heyday of the vernacular, the literary language and poetry almost all died. As the name suggests, Wenyan is the language of the article, the vernacular is clear as the words, according to legend, the Wenyan is written by Confucius, 'the words are not written, the line is not far', this 'far' does not only refer to the future generations, but also refers to the vast area.

Since the unification of the Qin and Han dynasties, the book has the same text and the same line, but it has not been able to achieve the same language, one is the vast territory, the other is the complex terrain, and many places have their own dialects and local languages.

Modern scholars advocate the consistency of words and words, and say, 'I write by hand, I speak', but in fact it is absolutely impossible. Although there is an official dialect in ancient times, the scope is probably not too large, He Zhizhang 'left home when he was young, his sideburns have faded and the local pronunciation has not changed', and many dialects and local languages are conventional, and the pronunciation of Wenyan is quite different, and it is even impossible to determine whether there are words, and what pen is in the book. Although some writers try to write in dialects, which is not uncommon in popular circles, "Water Margin" and "Awakening Marriage" are quite dialectal, but they only have a little dialect characteristics, although dialects have some advantages in character description, but they are not common to people in foreign lands, but increase the difficulty of reading, so that the author's audience is narrow, "The Legend of Flowers on the Sea" is an example.

Moreover, there are a lot of local dialects in Zhongxia, and there are no less than a dozen kinds of them, and small differences are even more difficult to calculate. Establishing a dialect as a paradigm can also make it difficult to get along. So the words are consistent, and the statement that I write my mouth by hand is simply nonsense.

Of course, in order to unify the language, each country will designate the most widely circulated language as the official language. The so-called consistency of language is just writing in this kind of official language.

The so-called vernacular does not refer to the local dialect, but is as clear as the words. After Zhuxia had a common script, Wenyan gradually came into being. This kind of literary language eliminates the dialect and native language, and the shape, sound, and meaning of each character have a relatively stable paradigm. The study of these paradigms is called elementary school, and in other words, philology, phonology, and exegesis.

Generally speaking, there are two styles of literary language, one is prose, one is prose, one is prose, prose is longer than argumentative, prose pays attention to decoration, to the time of Qi Liang, prose is all the rage, competing for beauty, the content is empty, until the Tang Dynasty, there are Han Yu, Liu Zongyuan came out to advocate ancient literature, and the Song Dynasty had Ouyang Xiu, Su Shi and others followed, so that the ancient literature flourished.

In fact, whether it is poetry or articles, different writers always have different styles and appearances, which is related to the author's personality and interests. There is only good or bad poetry and writing, and there is no distinction between dead and alive, old and new, etc.

Modern Enlightenment thinkers advocated vernacular, which is the general trend, but it is alarmist and untrue to dig out their minds to criticize ancient literature and poetry, denouncing it as old literature, dead literature, and aristocratic literature.

In fact, the literature of Zhongxia is rich and diverse, the author will choose the language and style according to his own interests and genres, Bai Juyi wants to make the seventy old woman understand, the style is naturally more popular, Han Yu and Zhang Taiyan are knowledgeable, and do not avoid strange words and dangerous words, which is also beyond reproach.

"The song is high and the must be few", the words of the market, the opera should be regarded as the most popular, Liu Yong's words have the reputation of a singer wherever there is well water, and his words are quite customary in the Song Dynasty.

However, Bai Juyi's poems and Liu Yong's words may not be readable by everyone, which is related to the level of intelligence of an era. For the sake of enlightenment, it is naturally necessary for literati and scholars to create some popular works, but blindly catering to the audience can only help the needs of the moment, and it will not be a long-term solution, but will weaken the value of the works.

There have always been many folk art forms, which will naturally fade over time, and the reasons are diverse, and the lack of audiences is often an important reason. Although literary and artistic works do not necessarily have an edifying effect, many artists will cater to the audience to varying degrees in order to make a living. However, literary and artistic works have been an important means of popularizing knowledge since ancient times, and the operas of the Middle Xia have the function of exhortation, promoting the concept of karma, punishing evil and promoting good, and often end in comedy. Some scholars believe that comedy lacks appeal and is less powerful than tragedy, and that this kind of problem involves customs and psychology, and it is not clear in a few words.

Today's vernacular is based on the popular paradigm, and there is still a considerable gap between the colloquial language, that is, the dialect and the vernacular. Although it is not feasible to write an article in a dialect and vernacular, people today do the opposite, using the official dialect to eliminate the dialect, which is very meaningless, and the dialect has the ability to express itself vividly in the official dialect.

Some words that are discarded in the literary language are popular in dialects, but the world is not aware of them, which also shows that there is no distinction between old and new written language, but it is just a habit of use.

At the beginning, vernacular poetry and vernacular literature were in a thunderous situation and won the orthodox status of literary poetry in one fell swoop, but now vernacular poetry has been a great success, but vernacular poetry is becoming more and more embarrassing, which is also due to the times.

The vernacular has an advantage in the popularization of knowledge, although it cannot be like the dialect and the native language, and the official language is implemented in the end. Poetry is different, although the poems 300 and Yuefu are mostly from the hands of laborers and women, they have been polished by literati before they can be circulated. After Qu Yuan's work "Lisao", the poet has become a very high reputation, has always been respected by the literati, after the peak of Tang and Song poetry, more and opera, parting ways, one spread among the market, the other has become the essence of the literati, easy to learn and difficult to work, this is not easy to do.

Vernacular poetry plagiarized the skin of Western poetry, not only had little to do with ancient poetry, but also failed to inherit the paradigm of Western poetry, which was originally a freak. And the main function of poetry is to convey feelings, the ancients said, 'Tang poems are the main feelings, Song poems are the main feelings', although it is a general talk, Tang poems pay attention to the lyricism of words and aspirations, and Song poems like to reason, and there is indeed such a tendency. Human beings always develop their emotions first, and then their intellect.

But rational people are less interesting, although Song poetry is the development of Tang poetry, it is indeed much inferior in this regard. The vernacular is as clear as words, which has its advantages in reasoning and argumentation, and has no advantage in emotional transmission.

As an art, literary language often has unique aesthetic characteristics, and whether it is the translation of Western poems or ancient poems, it will destroy the emotion and beauty in the poems.

So when it comes to these two aspects, translation can be very difficult. Former sages once said that the best translation is when the original author created it in another language.

In fact, some rationally developed works, such as treatises, as long as the meaning is translated accurately, still have little impact, and rhymes such as poems and operas are very difficult to convey feelings. The words of one language rhyme, translated into another language must not also rhyme, unless on the basis of figuring out the original work, it must be a toddler in Handan, and I can't bear to read it.

Vernacular literature and vernacular poetry have deep roots in their successes and failures, and they cannot be achieved by human beings.

The fairy world is prosperous, pay attention to returning the government to the people, and the monarch should choose the prince to strictly teach the prince, and the government comes from the people, so naturally it also needs some enlightenment education.

The key to enlightenment education is the development of reason, Mencius said, 'Zijiang wheel can be with people's rules, can not make people skillful', rules and ink is the moral law, 'skillful' is rational thinking, this is of course difficult.

Rational thinking requires knowing why, not just how. Therefore, we must not blindly cater to the audience, otherwise it will only backfire and become superstitious.

Poems, essays, and music can capture people's hearts and move deeply, precisely because they all imply divine principles, which are very visible to people.

The stringed piano can play a beautiful movement with the strings, and the stringless piano can only lead to the changes of the wind and clouds to attract the power of nature.

Yu Dongji and Meng Jiang hurriedly played on the piano wood, and the aura on the piano wood floated, radiating powerful power.

Although Meng Jiang's guqin is not as good as Fusangqin, she is the daughter of the god of thunder, and her cultivation is extraordinary, even if she does not use the tone of the piano to turn around, she also has the ability to attract the power of heaven and earth.

Yu Dongji frowned deeply, he was also difficult to ride a tiger, although he and Meng Jiang only used the sound of the piano to test it, 'as soon as the expert makes a move, he will know if there is one', Meng Jiang is Lei Ze's person, there is no doubt.

Razor is the abode of Thor, and it is difficult for outsiders to find a path. But Thor is one of the four elephants and eight gods, and he is famous, and Yu Dongji doesn't want to provoke Razor's people. Just a Meng Jiang, it's okay to let her out of the hole.

But Meng Jiangyu's hand was empty, and the spiritual light on the guqin rose, carrying a murderous aura. The masters could not tolerate mercy and softness, and Yu Dongji did not dare to relax, so he had to urge his spiritual power and fight to resist.

Both of them are rare masters of Yan Fang, and the guqin in their hands is a magic weapon, and the Fusang qin is especially powerful, and the scorching heat urges it out, and everyone suddenly feels dizzy and crumbling.

Ji Jun and Wu Jin were attacked by Yu Saburo from behind and were seriously injured, but fortunately, they both had good cultivation and did not kill them with one blow.

"Big brother, how are you?"

Ah Min took the opportunity to rush forward, helped Jijun wipe the blood from the corners of his lips, and beckoned the ghost pawn to come forward and hold him, "You guys quickly take my eldest brother out of the cave." ”

"This Yuzaburo is really not authentic, Lao Tzu has to screw his head off. ”

Ji Jun coughed twice, still indignant, he was too careless, believed Yu Saburo's words, not only was he captured alive, but he almost lost his life.

"Alright, let's get out of the house first. You go first, and I'll cut it off. ”

Ah Min stared at Mizaburo closely, beware of him to intercept him, and urged Jijun to leave quickly.

"No, let's go together. ”

Ji Jun also knew that he was in danger at the moment, and finally saw Ah Jin, so he didn't want to escape alone.

"Okay, if you don't leave, I'll go, leave you alone. ”

Ah Jun and Ji Jun have a good relationship, Ji Jun called Wu Jin to come to the rescue, and Ah Jun was also quite moved.

"No, I'll just go. Then be careful. ”

Ji Jun sighed, knowing that his current state would not help, but would drag Ah Min down. Meng Jiang and Yu Dongji fought evenly and were a good helper. It is not without a chance for Amin to deal with Mizaburo.

"Let's go. ”

Gozaburo noticed that the jun wanted to slip away, and rushed over with a simple knife. Ah Mian showed his way to move and stopped sideways, "If you want to move them, you must pass my level first." ”

"Princess, how can I be willing to harm you? As long as you are willing to stay in the Sansheng Cave, I will let your eldest brother go, what?"

Yuzaburo's thief heart is not dead, and the more Ah Mian is unpretentious, the more he will never forget.

"Phew, wishful thinking. ”

Ah Mian's 'Changchun Qi' also has a considerable realm, with black hair flying all over his head, sending and receiving from the heart, comparable to a divine weapon.

At this time, Meng Jiang put the guqin flat in front of him, and his fingers hooked and twisted like flowing water, indescribably chic and casual. The light in the palm of the heart floated, and there seemed to be an invisible suction, making the guqin hang in the air.

There was a sudden rumbling sound from the muddy cave, and the stalactites above the head fell, causing all the demon soldiers to shout and scream, hugging their heads and running around.

Yu Dongji raised his eyes and glanced at Meng Jiang, a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes, and he was afraid that the Sansheng Cave would become a ruin if he fought like this. He has always had reservations, firstly, because he was afraid of Meng Jiang's identity, and secondly, he didn't want to ruin the painstaking Sansheng Cave.

Meng Jiang didn't have this concern, she lowered her eyebrows and lowered her head, her eyes were covered with a layer of mist of water, as if she was caressing with her heart, and as if there was nothing in her eyes, her mind entered the realm of selflessness.

Meng Qiyi once said that Meng Jiang has entered the realm of Taishang's forgetfulness, it seems that what she said is true, she not only has excellent piano skills, but it is rare that the ancient well is not waved, and there are no distracting thoughts, although she is playing just an ordinary guqin, the power does not seem to be under the Fusang qin.

Although Yu Dongji's cultivation is high, the way of sound is far less profound than Meng Jiang's, he is stunned under his fingers, and he doesn't know whether to make up his mind, put aside all his worries, and defeat Meng Jiang first.
