The Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

Chapter 1504 Fang Yun presents a poem

Many people at the cultural conference watched this scene silently. Almost everyone already understood that this cultural conference was mainly aimed at Zhang Longxiang.

Both Lumenhou and Gou Bao have high status, and it is impossible to quarrel with Fang Yun in public. However, the prefect of Guangzhou is different. His literary position is lower than that of Zhang Longxiang, and his official position is also lower than that of Zhang Longxiang. No matter what he says, he will not give in. People feel that Zhang Longxiang is being suppressed.

Fang Yun looked at the Guangzhou Magistrate and understood the strategies of these people. From the beginning, the Guangzhou Magistrate was irritating him and kept asking him to speak. After all, Zhang Longxiang had done some ridiculous things back then, and he had done something ridiculous a few days ago. He smashed the Qishan Marquis Mansion and almost killed Gou Bao's son. These people don't need to completely defeat themselves, they just need to find some mistakes of their own, and then exaggerate this mistake, and then cooperate with the name of suspicion of reverse species, so that they have reason to let Gou Bao or Lumenhou take action, and then take back the banner of Qishan Army. Let yourself be stigmatized.

"Unfortunately, I am not that Zhang Longxiang..."

Fang Yun thought to himself, smiled slightly, and said, "Master Magistrate, I don't think we should embarrass this young man and just read the next poem."

The prefect of Guangzhou smiled and said: "Master Marquis, you haven't answered my previous question. I am the host of this cultural meeting. You cannot use the title of Marquis of Zhujiang to suppress the official. Let me ask you again, what do you think about this? Can the first one-word poem become the leader of this literary conference? "

Fang Yun tapped his fingers lightly on the table and said: "Since the magistrate is aggressive, I will tell you bluntly. As a scholar, you need to have many abilities, such as the ability to read, the ability to remember, the ability to understand, The ability of extension, the ability of creation, etc., and at the same time, one should also have the ability of judgment. How can it be regarded as a judgment? After writing a poetry article, before getting other people's evaluation, being able to know the level of the article and knowing who will like it and who will not like it is just a low-level judgment. A higher judgment is that when writing an article Before writing a poem or article, you have to judge whether you are capable of writing and how good you can write it, Mr. Xie Yuangong, do you understand?”

Fang Yun turned to look at Guangzhou Jieyuan.

The young man stood up in a hurry, saluted Fang Yun and said, "Thank you, Mr. Long Xiang, for your teaching. The student vaguely understands a lot."

Fang Yun nodded and said: "Judgment can not only judge one's own poems and articles, but also the level and other abilities of others. The prefect's heart is full of twists and turns, but I am different. I dare to speak out. Poetry. I have my own judgment. This poem is good, but it will never be the leader of this banquet. However, please don’t be discouraged. I will give you a poem to encourage you."

The young man Jie Yuan's face was full of joy and he bowed his head and said: "Students are all ears."

Zhang Longxiang looked to the north, with sadness in his eyes, and said slowly: "In the ten years in prison, I often look back on the past, and those originally vague memories often suddenly appear, making me feel like I have returned to the past. Seeing the young talent With the beauty in front of me, I can't help but think of the scenery I saw when I climbed up the tower to look at it when I was stationed on the bank of the Yangtze River. I took the scene from that time and sent it to my friend today."

Fang Yun paused for a while and slowly recited poetry.

"The sun sets over the mountains, and the Yellow River flows into the sea..."

After hearing the first two sentences, most people think the sentences are mediocre, but a few people who are proficient in poetry either concentrate or nod slightly. These two sentences are indeed straightforward and smooth. At first glance, there are no subtle sentences, but they have a good momentum. , the semantics are also very simple, it is nothing more than the sun slowly setting against the mountains, and the raging Yellow River flowing continuously towards the ocean.

However, these ten words almost completely capture the sunset scene in the Yellow River area.

This scene was obtained by one person, but it is thousands of miles away; it was taken in one moment, but it lasts for hundreds of generations.

All the famous poets present sighed secretly. With these two points alone, they were already close to Dafu and directly approaching the realm of Mingzhou.

They pay more attention and listen carefully to the sentences that follow.

However, Xun Tianling's eyes moved, and he thought that as soon as the cross came out, the situation was exhausted, and if he tried to describe the scene again, he might not be able to continue.

"...If you want to see a thousand miles away, go to the next level!"

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the famous poets present changed. Lumenhou, Gou Bao and Xun Tianling were all moved.

Xun Tianling said happily: "There is a general trend within a few words, and it is wonderful to say that it is ten thousand miles away. It is wonderful! The scenery is integrated into the rational situation, and the rationality increases the scenery ten thousand miles away, which is even better!"

After hearing Xun Tianling's praise, many people suddenly realized that the subtlety of the first two sentences of this poem lies in its meaning, not its words.

An old Jinshi then said: "Everyone, the two sentences are very different from the four sentences of the whole poem. 'The sun is over the mountains, the Yellow River flows into the sea' is what the poet saw from the original floor, but next, the poet has to Going up a floor, you can see a thousand miles at a glance, what a vast scene it is?”

The scholars present were immediately attracted by the old Jinshi's words and couldn't help but think about what they would see if they could reach a higher level.

Many people feel itchy in their hearts, like a hundred claws scratching their hearts, and wish they could describe it in poetry. However, they know very well that the poem is over.

"The blank space left in a fine painting is another wonderful feature of this poem."

"This poem has the vision of dividing time and space. The first two lines are about scenery, but the last two lines make people feel as if they have traveled through time and have a vision of the majestic beauty higher up."

"There is another wonderful thing about this poem, which is the four lines and two antitheses! 'The sun is over the mountains' versus 'The Yellow River flows into the sea', and 'I want to see a thousand miles away' versus 'reach a higher level'. They are very neat."

"This poem can be called a model of the five unique poems. It has excellent rhythm and is very catchy to read."

"It's a pity that this is a special poetry and literary gathering. If it were any other literary gathering, this poem would have won the first prize!"

"If nothing unexpected happens, this poem will definitely top the list of Hanlin Literature!"

"Doesn't this mean that many poems by Zhujiang Hou will be published in the "Sacred Way" next month?"

"Great! Great! Great!"

The literary gathering was in full swing, and the Guangzhou prefect wanted to stop it, but after thinking about it, he could only shut up.

Fang Yun smiled and looked at the young champion, and asked: "Can you understand this poem?"

The young champion bowed again and said respectfully: "I can probably only understand one or two."

"You can say it anyway."

"You are warning students that we should not be blinded by everything in front of us. No matter how beautiful or magnificent it is, it is only a temporary scenery. Only by practicing diligently and going to a higher level can we see a more vast and beautiful scenery. Similarly, if the scenery in front of us is not good, there is no need to be discouraged. Continue to practice and go to a higher level, and you will definitely see a more magnificent world."

Fang Yun showed a little surprise, and his eyes showed admiration, saying: "Well, you can see the opposite with the right view, and you have lived up to the poem given by this marquis."

Many scholars present nodded one after another. Many people were not particularly convinced of this new champion, but now he can draw inferences from one example in such a short time. He is indeed a champion.
