In my opinion, 300 Tang Poems can be said to be an insurmountable peak, which runs through the whole China literature, including not only poetry, but also all literary and artistic categories. It is also a valuable spiritual and cultural wealth left by our predecessors, which is inexhaustible so far. If you can really understand poetry, memorize 300 Tang poems and master the basic forms of various Tang poems, you will learn to write poems. Experts point out that this is the important role of perceptual experience in the process of literary creation, which means calling on people to read and write more. In the process of reading and writing, knowledge will naturally be transformed into skills. I also think that this subtle process of practice makes perfect is a summary of the long-term practical experience of the ancients, which has strong practical guiding significance.
A few days ago, I wrote a shallow feeling about Wu Yishu's poetry creation, expressing my praise and affirmation for Wu Yishu's winning the second season of the Chinese Poetry Conference by reciting ancient poems. I think this is also a manifestation of talent. After my book was published online, some readers commented: "Poetry is the domain of genius. Memories are meaningless. Just like the political history of the college entrance examination, if you recite all the books, you will still not answer when you encounter problems. "
I can't say whether poetry is the domain of genius, but memory can't explain anything, so I think this view is absolutely arbitrary. Culture itself is a kind of inheritance and the accumulation of ideological civilization from generation to generation. Not all learning and inheritance, at least remember and understand the language of human civilization. For us, no matter what we do, this should be the most basic requirement. I can't imagine that an illiterate who knows nothing and can't remember anything can write a poem.
Poetry makes people witty, and there is nothing to say if you don't learn poetry. Dare not comment on others, just say myself. I have not received any training in literature classes, and I have not deliberately studied the skills of poetry writing. I like reading because I am bored, and I don't want to know too much. I just like reading poetry. A casual and lazy person like me can write a fluent article at first. Some words woven with branches are said to be readers' poems. There is only one explanation, that is, even if I don't have strict requirements, I am not diligent enough to practice calligraphy. At least after the time I spend reading and practicing reaches a certain stage, I can barely write something.
In modern China, many poets, writers and other people who have made contributions to mankind and written immortal classic chapters have also made achievements in all walks of life. We can see that they have some memorable articles because of their poor family, and they all understand them by themselves without a teacher to explain them. In fact, before the founding of New China, most of the primary education we are talking about now was not explained by teachers, and it all depended on students' rote memorization. However, we can see that that period was also a time when great masters of our country came forth in large numbers. The names such as Wu Shi, Lu Xun and Qian Zhongshu can be listed in a long list. ...
If anyone can memorize all the classic works of mankind, not just 300 Tang poems, then I certainly don't mean that writing poems is a piece of cake, but it is impossible and unnecessary. The ancients in China had a wonderful experience of "half the Analects of Confucius ruled the world", so a thin full text of The Analects of Confucius is only 1 1705 words, which is about the capacity of a folio newspaper today. As long as you concentrate on reading it all and read it carefully, it won't take a day. Some people can rule the world by reading only half. Whether it is exaggerated or not, it is enough to show that people believe in and must have personally experienced the benefits of reciting predecessors' classic works.
Therefore, I think that as long as we can remember and understand more books, no matter what we do, it will only be good for us. Planning, winning thousands of miles, keeping a clear head and being able to defeat the enemy without fighting are all taken for granted.
