The Character of Classical Chinese Poets
1. The original and translation of Liu Xie's Poems have six meanings, and the wind is the first. Si is the source of feeling and the symbol of ambition.

It expresses feelings with melancholy, and it must start with the wind; Shen Yin's words were written before the bones. So think of words as bones, such as the skeleton of the body; Love contains wind, and it is still shaped by gas.

When the words are straight, the bones become awkward; If you have a calm spirit, your style will be clear. If there are a lot of algae and the strength of the wind does not fly, the vibration will lose its freshness and the negative sound will be weak.

Therefore, we should consider and cut articles, keep our spirit full of business, be vigorous and realistic, and shine with new ideas. Used in literature, it is also a metaphor for the wings of birds.

Therefore, those who practice to the bone must analyze the text accurately; Those who are deep in the wind will show their feelings. It is also the strength of character to be firm but hard to move when talking, but not stagnant when the heart is condensed.

If the word is poor and fat, complicated and out of control, there is no sign of bones. If you don't think around, if you are exhausted, you won't have a windless experience.

Once upon a time, with Wei, they thought about classics and wrote only with strong bone marrow. Like a fairy, the spirit is lingyun, and it is also the power of its wind. If you can learn something from what you want, you can decide the text. You can do it or violate it.

Therefore, Wei Wen said: "Literature is mainly based on qi, and the turbidity of qi has a body and cannot be forced." So when it comes to Kong Rong, the cloud is "sublime"; When it comes to Xu Gan, the cloud is "full of gas"; Speaking of Liu Zhen, the cloud is "free from qi".

Shang Yeyun: "Kong's Zhuo Zhuo, the letter contains different gases; The essence of pen and ink is almost invincible. " The purpose of paying equal attention to qi is also.

Husband is ready for color, but muscular and strong; Falcon is weak, Han Fei is fierce, strong and angry. The talent of the article is similar to this.

If the strength of character is lacking, they will gather in Hanlin; If you lack the strength of character, you will be embarrassed; Only the algae are bright and high, and the solid writing is also a phoenix. If the classic model, auspicious words and poems, Dong Xiao Qing Dynasty and Quzhao style are endowed, they can be rich in new ideas and carve strange words.

Zhao style, deliberately new but not chaotic, Xiao changes, so the words are strange but not ambiguous. The bones are not round, the wind words are not practiced, the old rules are slightly crossed, and the new work is hasty. Although they are clever, they also have many dangers and failures. Can't making strange words become classics? "Zhou Shu" says: "Words are still important, but the fu is different."

Cover up the abuse of literature. But there are many kinds of literature and art, each of which suits one's own interests. Wise men have it, and scholars have it.

Therefore, practice luxury and forget it. If we can be formal and make civilization healthy, then the style of writing will be distinct, and the style of writing will be distinct.

If we can study all the concerns, how far is it! Zan: Love and Qi are in harmony, words and deeds. Civilization is based on health, and Zhang Jue was hired.

Wei and wind are stricter than this bone. Brilliant and upright, Fu Bing.

Guan Longyan's The Book of Songs always has six meanings, and "wind" ranks first, which is the source of artistic appeal and the external expression of the author's emotional temperament. Therefore, when expressing feelings, the author should first pay attention to the style of the work; Nothing is more important than paying attention to the intensity of the work.

Therefore, the strength of bones shapes words, just as bones support the human body; Emotions are as contagious as the body. Every word is tall and straight, and the bones are shaped; The expression is bright and clear, and the style of writing is prominent.

If a work is rich in rhetoric but lacks character, then the literary talent will not be bright and the tone will not be loud. Therefore, if you want to be vivid, you must be full of energy and vigorous.

Style is used in articles, just like a big bird flying high. Therefore, you should pay attention to the bones and make sentences with words. If we pay attention to the appearance of words, it is inevitable to express our feelings.

The practice of writing is solid but not frivolous, and the use of phonology is dignified and not stagnant, which is the control of the style of the article. If the content is thin and rhetoric is piled up, it will be complicated and messy, which is a boneless performance; The thoughts and feelings are not full and smooth, and the expression is far-fetched and lacks vitality. This proves that there is no wind.

Once upon a time, Xu Pan wrote a book "Gong Weijiu Wen Xi", the conception and layout all imitated the classics like "Shangshu", which made the gifted scholars at that time unable to stop. This is because Pan Wen is strong and powerful. Sima Xiangru's "Adult Fu" is known as Lingyun spirit because of its vigorous writing style, and it is a master of Ci and Fu. Being able to make this clear can make the article more perfect. This law cannot be violated, and creation should not pursue the complexity of literary talent.

Therefore, Wei Wendi Cao Pi said: "The style of the article is mainly based on the author's temperament, and the clarity of temperament has its own body, which can not be obtained by force." Therefore, when evaluating Xu Gan, he said "there is always a soothing temperament", and when evaluating Serina Liu, he said "there is always an elegant and natural temperament".

Serina Liu also said: "Kong Rong is extraordinary, and indeed has a unique temperament. Words can hardly express his talent.

"It's all about paying attention to temperament and style. Pheasants are colorful, but they can't fly a hundred paces, because their muscles are too full and their strength is not enough; Falcon has no color, but it can fly high because it is strong and powerful.

The talent of the article is similar. If literary talent lacks character, it is like a literary gathering; If you have grace but lack character, you are like a pheasant squatting in Wen Yuan.

Only with brilliant literary talent can you fly high, and that is the phoenix in the article. As for writing according to the norms of Confucian classics, we should choose the writing method of history books, deeply understand the evolution of composition, and thoroughly understand the basic system and norms of various articles, so as to have novel ideas and decorate wonderful words.

Knowing the basic system and standard requirements of the article, we can conceive new ideas that are not chaotic, and deeply understand the evolution of the composition situation, so we can write wonderful words that are not floating or impetuous. If you don't have style and refined rhetoric, but want to abandon the old norms and pursue novel creative methods, even if you have good intentions, it will lead to many failures.

Can this wrong tendency be turned into the right path just by using strange words? "History of Fake Finished Products O" says: "Wording is more expensive than appropriateness, and we should not just pursue strangeness." This is to prevent the article from being superficial and untrue.

However, there are many ways to write the article, and the author chooses according to his own preferences. Those who know how to write cannot teach others, and those who learn to write cannot learn from those who know how to write. Therefore, I am flashy, follow luxury, go with the flow, and I don't know how to return to the right path.

If we can establish a correct posture and make the article bright and full of vigor, then we can be healthy and the whole work will shine. If you can study these requirements carefully, you will not be far from mastering the way of writing.

In short, the relationship between emotion and spirit, the combination of language and institutional style. Only when the style of writing is clear and vigorous can American literature gallop.

Make the wind strong and the bones strong. Only in this way, talents will be vigorous and articles will be dazzling.

2. Where is the poet's character? After this poem was published, many readers wrote to the editorial department at that time.

I remember posting two selected letters in my diary. Mr. Liu, then editor-in-chief, personally wrote a thank-you letter to the PLA Art College where I was studying, saying: Thank you for providing such a good work.

And clearly stated: "It can be passed on to future generations." Twenty-three years have passed and the words have come true. What Mr. White said has been proved by time? This statement is correct.

The appreciation level of the old man is really one of the best among his cultural officials, which makes me admire. The impact on me, I can't say clearly myself.

But one thing is clear? Since then, my name has been closely linked with * * *, sharing weal and woe and becoming a brother in need. In addition to Crazy Snow, you have thrown many long poems into the poetry circle, especially Sweet Soul is Golden, which is regarded as your masterpiece by critics.

It is also a "comfort" work. Sweet Soul and Golden Fragrance does not have the tragic "lens-like" description in Crazy Snow. Through the golden rape flowers, we still strongly feel the humanistic feelings and life consciousness in the poem. Each chapter of this long poem ends with "the sacred fragrance is fluttering, lingering in the net world, the realm is boundless, and the fragrance is full of the soul". What's your purpose? Wang Jiuxin: Every long poem of mine is greatly appreciated.

After that, and so on, and so on, almost every time it was published, there was a strong response. Some have many readers' comments immediately, and there are many well-known and unknown comments.

For example, after receiving hundreds of letters from readers, the poet took out more than 20 pages to publish "letters from readers" and comments, giving all-round affirmation and praise. Long poems and poems were not only reprinted, but also commented and praised by important newspapers and periodicals all over the country.

Later, he was not only praised by poetry critics Zhang Zhizhong, Zhang Qinghua and Geng Zhanchun, but also read such a clear passage in the annual review: If you want to find a work worthy of comment, it is Wang Jiuxin's.

It is worth talking about. Wait a minute.

There is an article that says: from birth to death is an inquiry into the paradise of life after going deep into the house of death, an aesthetic inquiry into the ultimate meaning of life, and a poetic creation discovered after the inquiry. It inherits the experience of symphony creation, and realizes the aesthetic creation of abstract death with the language storm of melody, the display of compound rhetoric and the strong publicity of scroll color, thus making the questioning of life have the power to penetrate the paper.

At the end of each chapter, I repeatedly used four sentences, all of which were copied from the box of Tibetan incense and refined when I used it. I mean: propagate a pious life consciousness, thus creating a religious atmosphere and realizing the contrast of all poetic expressions.

This is an attempt, a trick and a realm. I wonder how many achievements have been made. 4, as the saying goes: the text is like a person. From your "excellent" quality works, we can feel the heroism, strong sense of responsibility and mission of the soldiers.

What do you think are the differences between military writers and ordinary writers? Wang Jiuxin: Do you think military writers are a little "left"? Military writers seem to be a little unambiguous, unabashed and fearless in some basic moral and social concepts. This is because they thought about many problems with actions in the process of joining the army.

Attention, I said think with action, not with words! The difference between the two is that the thinking of action is closer to reality, that is, more reliable. It is not that military writers should have a sense of responsibility and mission, but a sense of responsibility and mission is like a mad dog, which drives military writers to start their own country, struggle with morality and humanity and make choices.

They are ordinary, but their actions make people think. For example, he chickened out during the earthquake? He was scared when he chose? And so on, all these constitute thoughts and oppress them.

As a result, their actions are greater than their own, and if they do well, they will be praised by geometric multiples. Have a bad time? On the contrary, it would be terrible.

Therefore, military writers cannot be driven away by such a mad dog with no sense of responsibility and mission. Only when they get the sense of responsibility and mission that they choose after thinking for them can their thoughts be reborn more broadly. There is no reason. This is the fate of your career. You have no choice.

As for the difference with other writers, I think it is because they are not driven away by the mad dog of responsibility and mission, and they are much more relaxed and free. Because they rarely think from the height of their home country and the world, and they don't play with meaning with their actions, do they seem spontaneous or frivolous? I don't understand.

But according to my observation, because joining the army can be close to nature and life and death, it seems a bit tall? Military writers at all times and all over the world seem to be masters of grand narrative. The difference is artistic accumulation and artistic talent, or there is a world of difference. Well, of course, it is extraordinary; Not good? Even if you have been a soldier for three generations, you may not be able to write a writer without military experience.

The key here is what you call "quality", not whether you are a soldier or not, but the quality of people and works. Isn't that great? Great, then what should I do! In recent years, many excellent military works have been put on the screen, which are deeply loved by everyone, and also let more people know about military camp life and military writers. How to treat this phenomenon? Wang Jiuxin: There are quite a few, but the outstanding ones are all students in our military art and literature class.

Such as, Mai Jia,,,, Liu Jianwei, Chen, Li Xiyue, Dai Hong, etc. Human peace needs troops and soldiers, so it is meaningful.

Although some of them are of low quality, some are better than none. There is a process here. You can't just look at the results without looking at the process, which is unscientific.

A stressful life itself requires performance; Having life is a necessary condition for creating new ideas. It is meaningful to recall the tense life in the past now. All the sweat is not in vain, because innovation requires unique experience and unique expression, and the stressful life itself is unique.

7. Before you entered the military camp, you had the experience of jumping the queue. The life of educated youth should be an unforgettable memory of a generation and a precious wealth of life. What influence did that time have on your later life and literary creation? Wang Jiuxin: I agree that the Cultural Revolution was a disaster for the country. But I think this sentence is only half said, and the other half should be: Cultural Revolution.

Metaphor literary works should be as natural and fresh as hibiscus water. These two poems praised Wei Taishou's natural and fresh articles, and also expressed his own views on poetry, advocating pure beauty and nature-this is the style of articles advocated and pursued by Li Bai, and opposing decorative carving. The same is true of Li Bai's own works, and later generations often quote these two sentences to evaluate Li Bai's works. Carving: refers to the carving of objects.

3, the cloud is a vortex, the jade is a shuttle, and the shirt is thin. This snail is very light. There are many autumn winds, the sound of rain is harmonious, and there are three bananas outside the curtain. The night is long and helpless! -"Sauvignon Blanc" Author: Li Yu

4. What are the poetic styles of ancient poets common in high schools? Different types of poetry have their own characteristics in the form of expression, rhythm and prosody, which can be divided into narrative poetry, lyric poetry and philosophical poetry according to the form of expression; According to the meter, it can be divided into ancient poetry and modern poetry; According to the language, it can be divided into four words, five words, seven words and miscellaneous words. According to the content, it can be divided into pastoral poems (landscape poems), poems about objects, frontier poems, poems about homesickness, poems about epic poems and so on.

1. Landscape pastoral poetry: Landscape pastoral poetry belongs to the category of landscape poetry, focusing on praising the landscape pastoral in natural scenery. The main feature of this kind of poetry is that all scenery words are sentimental words, that is, the natural scenery written by the author is integrated with the author's subjective feelings, or the scenery is used to express the author's thoughts and feelings. The main representatives of landscape pastoral poetry are Tao Yuanming, Xie Lingyun, Xie Shu, Meng Haoran, Wang Wei and Yang Wanli. Of course, there are Li Bai, Du Fu and Su Shi. There are also a large number of excellent works describing landscapes. For example, Wang Wei's "Autumn Mountain Residence" "After the rain, the mountains are empty and stand in the autumn night. The bright moon shed clear light from the cracks and cleared the fountain on the rocks. The bamboo forest is sonorous, the washerwoman returns, and the lotus leaves are swaying to get on the canoe. My friend's prince, what does it matter if spring is over and you are still here? By describing the beautiful scenery in the mountains, the simple folk customs in the mountain villages and the industrious people in the countryside, the poet outlined his ideal social realm, expressed his satisfaction with his current secluded life, and fully embodied Wang Wei's characteristics of "painting in poetry and poetry in painting".

(2) Poems about things: Poems about things are characterized by expressing ambition by supporting things. When appreciating poems about objects, we must pay attention to the feelings the author places when describing things. The emotional expression of some object-chanting poems is implicit, which requires us to appreciate it carefully when reading. For example, Yu Qian's Lime Lyrics: "A thousand hammers cut out a deep mountain, and if the fire burns idle." I am not afraid of being crushed to pieces, but I want to leave my innocence in the world. "The value of this poem lies in using lime as a metaphor everywhere to express a person's determination to be loyal to the country, not afraid of sacrifice, and stick to noble sentiments. Singing lime is to sing your open mind and noble and innocent personality.

3. Frontier poems: frontier poems in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, unrestrained and uninhibited, with representatives such as Gao Shi and Cen Can; However, the frontier poems in the Song Dynasty show more resentment and sadness about serving the country and the hopeless sadness of returning home, with Fan Zhongyan as the representative. The frontier fortress poems are characterized by showing the times from different angles. When appreciating, we should first grasp the characteristics of the times, and then scrutinize the different thoughts and feelings contained in the works. For example, Cen Can's "On the Envoys of the Jingshi" said: "The east road of my hometown is long, and the dragon bell with double sleeves tears." I will meet you immediately without paper and pen, and I will bring your news to report peace. "Reflect the heart song of thinking of relatives while guarding the border. Although things are small, feelings are deep.

(4) Reminiscent poems: If writing scenery poems is lyrical through scenery, then the characteristic of reminiscence poems is instant lyricism. The author often feels something because of one thing, and writes a poem to express his feelings. To appreciate this kind of poetry, we must first understand what the author wrote, and then appreciate what feelings the author expressed. Li Shangyin's Notes to Friends in the North on a Rainy Night "When asked about the return date, it rains in the autumn pool at night." Why * * want to cut the candle at the west window and talk about the late rain? "The first two sentences of the poem describe the immediate environment in the form of a question and answer, that is," What is it ",and expound the feeling of loneliness and the deep nostalgia for his wife, that is, expressing feelings. The last two sentences imagine the joy of meeting again tomorrow and having a heart-to-heart talk, which sets off the loneliness tonight and is a further expression.

⑤ Poems about things: Poems about things mostly use concise words and carefully selected images to integrate feelings about nature, society and history, or lament the rise and fall of dynasties, or lament the rapid changes of years, or satirize the bohemian of politicians, thus expressing the author's meditation after reading all the vicissitudes of life, and containing a deep sense of anxiety about remembering the past and hurting the present. The representatives of the epic are Liu Yuxi and Du Mu. Su Shi's Niannujiao, Red Cliff Nostalgia is an epic model. The poet stood on the vast ancient battlefield and rolled forward along the Yangtze River, expressing his deep affection for history and life. Time is running out. Zhou Lang, a hero who is easy to die, elegant and decisive in command, aroused the poet's feelings of self-harm and self-injury.

3. Poetic style

Because of the writer's different life experiences, emotional temperament and artistic accomplishment, they show their unique styles, styles and tastes in their creations, forming different styles of their works. The desolation and vitality of Sancao's poetic style: the euphemistic implication of Zhang Jiuling's poetic style: Meng Haoran's poetic style is light in language, heavy in charm, quiet and healthy; Wang Wei's poetic style is dull and vivid; Wang Changling's poetic style is vigorous and powerful; Li Bai's poetic style is elegant and free; The depression and frustration of Du Fu's poetic style: Gao Shi and Cen Can's poetic style is magnificent and extraordinary; The freshness and elegance of Wei's poetic style: Han Yu's poetic style is magnificent, peculiar and novel; The desolation of Jia Dao's poetic style; The melancholy and indignation of Li He's poetic style: Yuan Zhen's poetic style is gorgeous and shallow; Bai Juyi's poetic style is plain and fresh; Liu Yuxi's poetic style is clear and clear; Li Shangyin's poetic style is beautiful and elegant; The subtle and graceful style of Du Mu's poems; Li Yu's poetic style is sentimental and delicate; Ouyang xiu's ci style is beautiful and beautiful; The desolate and tragic style of Fan Zhongyan's ci: Yan Shu's ci style is clear and sparse; Su Shi's broad-minded and heroic; The charm of Liu Yong's ci style; The natural fluency of Huang Tingjian's ci: Qin Guan's ci style is sincere and sincere; The graceful style of Li Qingzhao's ci: Yang Wanli's ci style is fresh and lively; Lu You's poetic style is bold, beautiful and smooth; Xin Qiji's poetic style is magnificent; Jiang Kui's ci style is exquisite, beautiful and far-reaching. We should strengthen the perceptual knowledge of writers' works through our own appreciation activities, so as to sum up the styles of various writers. Understanding the poet's style is helpful to grasp the thoughts and feelings they express in their poems.

5. Poems related to the character of the wind have crossed dynasties: Song Author: Wen Tianxiang Original: Once hard work has taken place, there are few stars around.

The mountains and rivers are broken and the wind is floating, and life experiences are ups and downs. The beach of fear says fear, and there is a sigh in the ocean.

Since ancient times, no one has died in life, leaving a heart that shines through history. Lime Yin Dynasty: Ming Dynasty Author: Yu Qian Original: A thousand hammers cut out the mountains, and the fire burned idle.

Even if it is smashed to pieces, I am not afraid, and I am willing to leave a clean one in the world. Write Huai: Song Author: Yue Fei Original: Angry hair rushing to the crown, leaning against the railing, resting in the rain.

Looking up, screaming in the sky, strong and fierce. Thirty fame, dust and earth, eight thousand miles of clouds and the moon.

Don't be idle, white and sad! Jingkang is ashamed, but it is still snowing. When do courtiers hate their guts! Driving a long car, breaking through the lack of Helan Mountain.

Eat pork when you are hungry, and drink Hun blood when you are thirsty. Stay from the beginning, clean up the old mountains and rivers, and go to the sky.

6. Li Shangyin's style of Tang poetry Li Shangyin is usually regarded as the most outstanding poet in the late Tang Dynasty. His poetic style is deeply influenced by Li He, and is influenced by Du Fu and Han Yu in syntax, composition and structure. [6] Many critics believe that among the outstanding poets in the Tang Dynasty, his importance is second only to Du Fu, Li Bai, Wang Wei and others. As far as the uniqueness of poetic style is concerned, he is not inferior to any poet. Those who appreciate Li Shangyin's poems and those who criticize him are all aimed at his distinctive personal style. Many poets in later generations imitated Li Shangyin's style, but none of them were recognized.

Shi Li absorbed the strengths of predecessors, inherited the depression and frustration of Du Fu's Seven Laws, integrated the magnificence and richness of Qi Liang's poems, and imitated the ghostly fantasy of Li He's poems, forming his affectionate, lingering, aesthetic and delicate style. Shi Li is also good at using allusions. With appropriate historical analogy, he can express hidden and unspeakable meanings.

His poems reflect his thoughts, and his basic thoughts on human nature basically belong to Confucianism, but he takes a fancy to practicality and has a certain critical spirit to Confucianism. He believes that it is not necessary to take Confucius as a teacher and "forbearance" as the holy thing. He also has Buddhism and Taoism, advocating "nature" as his ancestor.

Li Shangyin's poems have a distinctive and unique artistic style, beautiful words and profound meanings. Some poems can be interpreted in many ways, while others are obscure. There are about 600 existing poems, especially untitled poems, the most prominent of which is his love poems. Li Shangyin is good at writing seven laws and five-character laws, and there are also many excellent works in seven-character poems. Ye Xie, a poet in the Qing Dynasty, commented on Li Shangyin's Seven Musts in his original poem as "affectionate entrustment, tactfully worded, but unparalleled in a hundred generations."

His metrical poems inherit Du Fu's tradition in technique, and some of his works are similar to Du Fu's in style. Similar to Du Fu, Li Shangyin's The Book of Songs often uses allusions, which is more profound and difficult to understand than Du Fu's allusions, and every sentence often uses allusions. He is unique in the use of allusions, likes to use various symbols and metaphors, and sometimes he doesn't know what the purpose is when he reads complete poems. The meaning of allusions themselves is often not what Li Shangyin wants to express in his poems. For example, "Chang 'e", some people intuitively think it is a work praising Chang 'e, Ji Yun thinks it is a work mourning, some people think it is a description of a female Taoist priest, or even a poet's self-report, and there are different opinions.

It is also his style of using allusions that forms his unique poetic style. According to Huang Jian's note "Yang Wengong Yuan Tan" in Song Dynasty, every time Li Shangyin wrote a poem, he would consult a large number of books, and the room was littered with stalls, which was compared to "Rex sacrificing fish". Wang Shizhen of the Ming Dynasty also said in a joking tone: "Rex Festival was once held in Ao Yun, and it was a piece of brocade." Criticism [8] thinks that he sometimes uses too many allusions and makes obscure mistakes, which makes people unable to understand his poems. Mr. Lu Xun once said: "Yu Xi was born with clear pronunciation and beautiful sentences. How dare he compare with others? I am dissatisfied with too many allusions." (Letter to Yang Jiyun in February 1934)

In addition, Li Shangyin's poems are gorgeous and good at describing and expressing subtle feelings.
