Back to Datang Jianzuo City

Chapter 204

Shangyuan festival

On this day, the city of Chang'an was decorated with lanterns and festoons, and people were everywhere.

This day is the most prosperous day in Chang'an City.

Guessing lantern riddles, juggling and other fun activities are everywhere, and some people take advantage of this day to hold poetry gatherings to attract scholars so that they can find some good face for investment.

Men, women, young and old, with their families and children, took to the streets to play.

I have worked hard for a year, not just for this day, for being chic and happy with my family and friends.Of course, people with some purpose are also indispensable.

Every year during the Lantern Festival, Chang'an is very lively.People call friends and play around.

But this year is a little different!

Many people are going in one direction, and it is said that there is the most special performance there!
There are also poetry gatherings participated by Confucian scholars such as Kong Yingda and Yan Silu, as well as performances by singers from the Yinhe Quyi Building.

The Yinhe Quyi Building is very popular in Chang'an now, just like young people chasing stars in later generations.

In the beginning, the performance method of Yinhe Quyi Building was only performed in the Quyi Building, but now it is different.

Those singers must have been proficient, not as unfamiliar as the first poetry and music conference.

Now those singers can no longer be called singers, they can all be called singers!As for their status, they are still untouchables in the eyes of some people, and what they do is still untouchable.

As for the singer, it's still a bit worse.Quyi Building will hold a concert every half a month, but there is only one singer, but every time there is a different singer.

There is the petite and lovely Lilac girl, the mature and charming sister Yurou, the masculine Guo Dong, the gentle and elegant Liu Hua... There are also some who are not as famous as them, so I won't mention them all here.

Evening
More than ten nights ago, the mysterious sky vision appeared again.

The fireworks lasted for a quarter of an hour, and the entire Chang'an City changed color. Of course, this is just a literal meaning.

The colorful fireworks illuminated the city of Chang'an, making the Lantern Festival even more lively.

And in front of a stage.

The second Datang Poetry and Music Art Conference kicked off again.

This conference is different from the first one, poetry and folk art are separated.

As for those literati who believed in reciting poems and composing lyrics, singing and dancing would make it more charming, and they are destined not to see it here.

Quyi will have its own stage, and poetry will be in an attic.

Today's concert is hosted by Yuhe, singers come on stage one by one, and the audience warmly welcomes and cheers.

One after another ancient songs, and some tunes from this era resounded through the entire concert hall, and the beautiful singing was refreshing.

As for what they sang, there are too many lyrics and too long to write in one chapter!

But the poetry club is the highlight of tonight!
All the literati in Chang'an came tonight, those who didn't come can only show that they are not knowledgeable enough!

Tonight, the Poetry Club will select several awards, including the Magnificent Landscape Award, the National Feelings Award, the Humanities Collection Award, and the Longing Lover Award.

According to the leaflets of the previous two days, the winners of these awards will not only get the glass trophy sponsored by Junfeng Supermarket, but also get a bursary from Junfeng Industry.Judging from the content of the leaflet, this bursary is money.

Although literati disdain such extraneous possessions, they can't bear to be given so much!
The bursaries for these various awards range from one hundred to one thousand!

You don't need to pay anything, you just need to win the championship at the poetry conference to get these things!

Not to mention, Kong Yingda, Yan Silu, Ouyang Xun, Yu Shinan and other great Confucian scholars were present at the poetry meeting.

The king of Yue, the crown prince, and the king of Wu will also participate. If they show up and win an award, they will not be far from making their fortunes!

Don't you see, Ma Zhou, the champion of the first Poetry and Music Art Competition, is now the county magistrate of Shiping County!

Thinking about that wild and unrestrained foreign student, he can achieve such achievements, so wouldn't they have a greater chance!

However, when they came to the attic and were about to enter the door, they were stopped by someone!
Although this poetry meeting is open to everyone, not everyone is eligible to enter.

Some people who held their own status stepped forward to show up, but were ridiculed by those damn servants, and they threatened those untouchables, but were directly driven away.

This lets everyone who comes here know that there is no identity here, and no one is afraid of anyone.

When they were making noise and couldn't wait to enter the attic, someone came out.

"Anyone who wants to participate in the poetry meeting today must pass the test. Those who pass the test are eligible to participate in the poetry meeting!"

Hearing the conditions, the literati clamored to see what kind of test it was, and some self-righteous people just smiled and turned away.

Most of the people stayed. They came for a purpose, it was just a test, and they couldn't be troubled.

The test will start soon, and it's not too difficult, as long as the person who comes in can make a poem on the spot, no matter how high or low!
Now the literati are happy, and writing poems is not easy for them.

However, some people think that things are not so simple. The test only needs to be an impromptu poem?What is the purpose?As long as it is able to participate in the poetry meeting, no one has the ability to write a poem. Thinking about it this way, I suddenly feel a little weird.

And when someone finishes writing a poem, someone asks for his name, and then collects the finished poem and takes the paper into the attic.

What they didn't know was that after they finished writing the poems, someone would comment and review them.

If there is plagiarism, don't even try to enter the door of this attic.

And these reviewers will also rate them after the exchange, and then someone will record their names.

The Poetry Association has long stated that it will start on time at the beginning of Xushi, so those who come after this are not eligible to enter.

This matter has been told to them a long time ago, and if they are not punctual, they can only give up.

Does a game stop and wait because one person is late?

Do you think you are Long Aotian?

Entering the attic, there are many people dressed as book boys standing aside.

And the space in the attic is very large, and there are many tables inside. There are also various pastries on the tables. It looks like a pastry with a homemade pastry!
This is rarely eaten, not because I don't like it, but because the price is too expensive.

There is a bakery where not all pastries are available in unlimited quantities, only those wife cakes can be bought at any time.

All kinds of pastries made of what kind of cream are limited in time every day, and there is also a limit on the amount purchased by a single person.

And because the pastries of Youjia Bakery are really delicious, these limited editions have become popular.

Some people even joined forces to guard the gate, bought up the limited quantities, and started scalping!
It's far away... There is a cabinet on the side of the attic floor, with a person standing behind it, and a shelf behind the person, on which are various liquids in glass bottles!
That's some fruit wine!
Such a poetry meeting is really unheard of!
It feels good to talk about the poetry meeting, but I just don't understand the rules here.

At this time, a book boy stepped forward and talked to them about the rules!
