The first legitimate son of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 124 Don’t write poetry when traveling through time

Everyone should have seen a TV series called "Celebrating a Certain Year". In the TV series, there is a very hot scene, that is, the protagonist drunkenly recited hundreds of poems, and then he was said to be the "God of Poetry" overnight. The poems he recited It has also been compiled into a collection of poems called "The God of Poetry".

I believe that many friends will be ignited by this plot to ignite the surging passion in their hearts, and they will memorize it as soon as they watch it.Here, I have to say with emotion that the nine-year compulsory education is really excellent. I would like to thank all the Chinese teachers.

After watching the TV show, I believe everyone will have a strong impulse to go back in time, recite hundreds of poems like the protagonist, be named the "God of Poetry", and enjoy the feeling of being worshiped by others.but!If you really traveled through time and recited hundreds of poems, you might not be conferred as a god. If your status is not high, you might die an ugly death.

First of all, poetry and prose are not so popular in all dynasties. For example, in the pre-Qin period, literary works were mainly based on Ci, and the representative work is Qu Yuan's "Chu Ci".Although there is also the Book of Songs, most of the authors of the Book of Songs are unknown, so poetry is not taken seriously.The literature of Qin and Han Dynasties was dominated by Fu, and the status of poetry was still not high.

In the Tang Dynasty, it was a world of poetry, with poetry as the mainstream. After the Tang Dynasty, the Song Dynasty was the world of poetry, the Yuan Dynasty was popular, and the Ming and Qing Dynasties were the peak period of novels.Except for the Tang Dynasty, other dynasties had poetry, but poetry was not mainstream literature, so no matter how many poems you memorized, you might not be sought after and worshiped.

The Tang Dynasty is only over 200 years old and less than 300 years old. The chance that you can travel back to the Tang Dynasty is only 5.00%. The chance is too small!If you hadn't time traveled to the Tang Dynasty, the poems you memorized would be useless.

Fortunately, the place where Li An came was the Tang Dynasty, but even so, Li An did not dare to write random poems. Why... Because if Li An was really invited to a poetry meeting and showed hundreds of poems on the spot, then people would You may be revered as the "God of Poetry", and soon after, people will invite you to write a preface for this poetry meeting.

This is how the "Preface to the Lanting Collection" originally came about.

How do you think Ang Lee wrote it?If you shirk, people will doubt your cultural level and whether your poems were written by a gunman in advance and memorized for you.If you write, you simply cannot reach that level, and the articles you write will be even more doubtful.

Therefore, whether you write or not, your reputation may be ruined, and the title of "God of Poetry" can last for an hour at most.

Moreover, the real poetry meeting is not as simple as the one in the TV series. You can just compose a poem at will. Instead, a scene will be specified, or what rhyme should be used.

Even if you have a poem in your inventory that suits this scene and this rhyme, no one knows whether the scene is suitable or not.Therefore, the God of Poetry is really not that easy to mess around with.

And more importantly, most poets have a fixed style when writing poems, and some people can write poems in different styles, or have different styles of poetry at different stages of life experience.

But like the protagonist in the TV series, we have never seen a poet in various styles of poetry in history.Once people have doubts about his poems, they can come up with questions to test him.

The question doesn’t need to be difficult, just give you a mediocre and problematic poem for you to comment on.

You may not even know how to pronounce the word "喽", but can you still distinguish what is a flat foot, a flat foot, a flat foot, and a flat foot?To be honest, maybe even Chinese teachers may not be able to tell the difference, let alone you who are not a Chinese teacher!

Also, there are likely to be names, scenes, allusions, etc. in Tang poems. If you make a slight mistake, then you are a copycat. In ancient times, especially in the Tang Dynasty, if you were a copywriter, you would be finished for the rest of your life. In the literary world You can't survive.

But Li An can't write poetry, but it doesn't mean that Li An can't give the poems he knows to Li Zhi. You must know that Li Zhi, a child, has learned to write poems. After all, who in the Tang Dynasty can't write poems? As the prince, of course Li Zhi So will.

Li An gave the poem to Li Zhi first. If there were any mistakes in it, Li An believed that Li Zhi would tell Li An in advance that he would not be able to use the poem.For example, Li Bai's song "Gift to Wang Lun". Li An gave it to Li Zhi, and Li Zhi would definitely tell Li An that he didn't know Wang Lun. This was an insurance policy. If there were allusions in the poem, I believe Li Zhi would know it very well. There are other things. Those problems, Li Zhi will definitely be able to fix them!

Thinking of this, Li An looked at the expectant Li Zhi and smiled slightly: "I can write poems to you, but you have to agree to tell anyone that these poems are written by you, and you can't let go of it no matter who you tell, including your majesty. If you can agree, I will write you a few simple songs, but if you can’t promise, forget it!”

"I promise!" Li Zhi said quickly without thinking: "Brother Li, I promise not to tell you anything. Whatever happens, it will be my fault, Li Zhi."

"Haha...!" Li An chuckled, then nodded: "Okay...! I'm going to write three songs for you. The first one, since it's a banquet or a family gathering, so Zongnu, this first song is about saving food. poems.

Young slave, listen up.

It was noon on the day when the farmers were hoeing, and sweat dripped from the crops on the soil. Who would have thought that every grain of food on the plate was hard work.

This poem is not a masterpiece, but it is catchy and has a simple meaning. If others ask, just say that you saw the scene of farmers sweating while hoeing under the scorching sun, and you felt something in your heart. Write such a poem so that no one will doubt it. "

After Li Zhi listened, the corner of his mouth twitched with excitement and shouted: "Brother Li, you really make the young slaves not know what to say. This farmer's pity is not a masterpiece. I feel that it can be passed down to the world. This It’s just awesome.”

"Okay, you just agree." Li An smiled and nodded: "Then you continue to listen to my second song, chanting goose. Goose, goose, goose, the song is singing to the sky, white hair is floating on the green water, and the red palms are clear Bo. Do you remember?"

"Remember, Brother Li, you wrote this song "Ode to the Goose". The shape, color, activity environment and movements of the goose described in it are very consistent with the specific object of the goose, and at the same time it also implies the previously mentioned It belongs to the "god" that talents can have, that is, lofty aspirations, high spirit and calm and confident expression." Li Zhi clapped his hands in joy again and praised him, and his eyes showed the greatest respect for Cheng Ping'an.

"There is also the third song "Grass". The grass on the original plain grows wither every year. The wild fire cannot burn it out, but it grows again when the spring breeze blows.

There are four sentences at the end of this poem: The distant fragrance invades the ancient road, and the clear green meets the deserted city.I also sent the king and grandson away, full of love.

However, you don’t need to understand the last four sentences. You only need to write the first four sentences. The words are also very simple. Just say that you saw the grass burned by the fire and saw it again the next year. At that moment, the grass that had been burned by the fire appeared again!

If you want to pronounce the last four sentences, you still need to look at the specific time, or you have your own words. "

"I know, I know Brother Li, don't worry. I'm not a fool about your brother. Hehe, it's really great. With the three wonderful poems you gave me, Brother Li, I will still be afraid. Li Min?
Brother Li, really, really, really thank you. "

Li Zhi looked at Li An with respectful gratitude.
