Chapter 41: The Poetry Contest (4)

The exciting time has finally arrived!

In the ring of the Poetry Competition, two young men with a god of wind and jade stood opposite each other, one of them was about 14 years old and the other was about 20 years old. Of course, Ling Lingqi also has the title of No. 1 in the Sword Conference, not only can write but also martial arts, which is very rare.

Countless young girls are looking at the railing on the edge of the West Lake, laughing and laughing. On the edge of the West Lake, which is like a paradise on earth, as many as tens of thousands of people watched the final battle, and many people joined in this ranks, even the fortune teller also dropped his stall, holding the Tai'a sword made of gold paper in his right hand, and holding the banner of "Cutting the world without learning with the same voice" in his left hand, squeezed into the crowd to look lively.

Chen Chun, who presided over the conference, stood under the stage with a smile and said to the crowd below: "Today is really a blessing for my generation, there are too few talents in the Great Song Dynasty today, if it weren't for our Jiangnan Eighteen Academies trying their best to cultivate talents for the country, I'm afraid that there will be fewer talents in the Great Song Dynasty!" Thinking back to those years, there was Mr. Lu Fangweng, not only a famous minister of the Great Song Dynasty, but also a famous swordsman, he was proficient in the art of strategy, on the horse to govern the army and dismount to govern the people, even won the hearts of the army and the people, and the judgment left behind is still a model for local officials in the Great Song Dynasty; It can be said that the scholars of the Great Song Dynasty, if Lu Fangweng had never heard of it, it would really be unlearned and unskilled to a certain extent. Today, we have also seen that the Wenshan Academy founded by Mr. Lu Fangweng can be regarded as a revival of the majesty of the past! Ling Lingqi's performance is also obvious to everyone, and the old man also hopes that he can make persistent efforts to make better poems. ”

"In addition, Yuzhang Academy, along with Bailudong Academy, Goose Lake Academy, Bailuzhou Academy and other academies, has become a base for spreading Zhu Cheng's learning in Jiangnan in recent years. In the previous Jiangnan Academy conferences, there have been good performances. At this year's poetry competition, his disciple Xun Lansun made wonderful poems. Now, there will inevitably be a battle between Yuzhang Academy and Wenshan Academy, so let's wait and see! Next, I would like to invite Mr. Zhu Zifu to announce the title of the poem. Chen Chun laughed.

The great Confucian Zhu Zifu stood up and said loudly: "Ling Lingqi, Xun Lansun, you can listen to it! This last poem will determine the victory or defeat of the academy you represent, so work hard! The title of the poem is to make a poem that describes cherishing time, and the subject matter is not limited, seven words and five words can be used, and even long poems can be used. Time is also half a pillar of incense, you two start!"

There are many poems describing time in the Tang and Song dynasties, such as Wang Zhenbai's "Two Songs in the White Deer Cave" in the Tang Dynasty: Reading books does not realize that spring is deep, and every inch of time is golden. It's not the Taoist who comes to make the joke, Zhou Qing Kong Si is pursuing. This poem is the famous poem of White Deer Cave Academy.

Ling Lingqi thought about it, there are a lot of poems after the Southern Song Dynasty, but he thinks the best is Tang Bohu's drinking wine under the flowers, this poem is a seven-word poem, and it is also a poem in the style of songs. The poem consists of 20 sentences, all in one go! However, the poetry can be carefully savored, and every four sentences can be divided into a small section, and the sections are advanced. This poem expresses the author's lament that the vicissitudes of life and life are short, so the whole article is written in angry words. Therefore, the poem is full of philosophical inspiration, which can be said to be a good sentence to describe time.

Ling Lingqi pretended to walk back and forth, and thought for a while before he raised his head and said to the three great Confucians and Chen Chun: "Sir, the disciple already has it!

The three Confucians nodded, they didn't expect Ling Lingqi to make a poem of time so quickly, you must know that making a poem of time is not only neat and neat, but also has a deep meaning in it, in order to be considered a good poem.

Chen Chun said loudly: "Ling Lingqi, you can read it out!"

Ling Lingqi lowered his hand and said: "Okay! The name of this poem is called the Song of Drinking Wine Under the Moon! The flowers on the branches can bloom for a few days, and the life in the world can be geometric. Yesterday's flowers are better today, and today's flowers fall into autumn grass. The person before the flower is last year's body, and last year's person is older than this year. Today's flowers bloom another branch, tomorrow we will see who it is? Will the flowers bloom today next year? Who will know today and next year? The weather is unpredictable, there are many storms, and it is difficult to measure and dirty personnel. The time and personnel are not even, don't pay the spring light. Good flowers are difficult to grow and do not bloom, and young people are easy to grow old and do not come back. Life is not drunk before flowers, and life is also dull. ”

Everyone was shocked, although this poem sounded simple and straightforward, but it said the true meaning of time! A man poured himself a drink in front of the flowers, and sang loudly. When I think of my life, the time of ninety years disappears as quickly as a shuttle. How many days can a flower bloom on a flower branch? How long can a person live in the world? A beautiful flower is difficult to grow, and it blooms for a short time, and it is easy to pass away in youth and never come back. In life, if you don't have fun in time, even flowers will laugh at people's dementia.

Zhu Zifu stood up excitedly again, and commented in a trembling voice: "Good poem! The first few sentences directly point out the theme of the whole poem, everyone likes spring, spring is full of flowers, but spring is only ninety days in total, like a shuttle thrown quickly, it will pass in a flash." Therefore, when drinking from flowers, it is natural to think that the flowers on the branches will not bloom for long, and life in the world will be equally short. The next few sentences are even more in-depth descriptions, flowers and people age quickly. The last few sentences are even more subtle, those who come to see the flowers today may not be able to come again tomorrow; And this year's flowers bloomed, and they may not bloom again next year. The next step is to play further, the world is unpredictable, the so-called sky has a side of the wind, people have a fortune and misfortune. So what should we do? Let's cherish the spring light in front of us! The last few lines lead to a conclusion! It is really a wonderful poem, and the most rare thing is that it is easy to understand, catchy, and can be recited by thousands of people!"

That Xun Lansun also made a poem, but as soon as Ling Lingqi recited the song of drinking under the flowers, he knew that if he recited the poem he had barely made just now, it would bring out the cleverness of Ling Lingqi's poem!

So, Xun Lansun arched his hands and said to the three great Confucians: "Sir, the disciple knows that he is invincible, and he is willing to admit defeat!"

Xun Lansun was very simple, but his fans were very disappointed, only to hear a cry of disappointment from the audience! Those Qinglou women also aimed at Ling Lingqi, who was younger but more talented!

There is no doubt that Ling Lingqi has become the first boy in the history of the Jiangnan Academy Conference to win the first place in both civil and military competitions! Even those peddlers and pawns are talking about the fierce poetry fighting scene at today's poetry competition! Ling Lingqi can be said to have become famous in one battle!
