While he was pondering, Li Yu had already reached the second step. He suddenly raised his eyes and asked eagerly: "Master Shuying Pavilion, do you have any requirements on genre and content?"
Poetry can be divided into ancient style and modern style, and modern style can also be divided into rhymed poetry and quatrains. There is a difference between seven-character and five-character quatrains in rhymed poetry. As for the content of the poem, everything can be included in the poem, so the writer often restricts it to a poem title, such as chanting cicadas or chanting flowers.
Hu Jiangxue remained silent, but Li Yu had to take the third step: "There are only four steps left. The top priority is that I must first determine a theme and outline it before I can come up with a decent poem. Since The Master of Shuying Pavilion has no requirements, I can do whatever I want."
While hesitating, Li Yu took the fourth step and repeatedly chanted: "Tang Jiahui, Tang Jiahui..."
In a blink of an eye, it is already the fifth step! The breeze blows in front of Shuying Pavilion, and it is a pleasure to recall the fragrance of plum blossoms. But there is no leisure in the seemingly quiet atmosphere, only anxiety and suffering! This silent fight of talent and thought is more thrilling than the light of swords and shadows.
The sixth step!
A faint wisp of tea smoke floated out of the window on the second floor, and I watched with interest a plum blossom slowly falling in the air. Du Ling's guest, Pei, is returning. Whose family calls the jade flute Luomei. Does this fallen plum blossom hint to Li Yu to go home quickly?
Step seven!
In seven steps, the difference between genius and mediocrity will be revealed, and the truth about moving forward and looking back will be revealed.
These seven simple steps will determine Li Yu's future destiny. This is a very short seven steps, but also a very long seven steps.
But I heard Li Yu singing loudly: "The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty fell in love with the Lishan Palace, and he lay drunk in neon clothes. The green plum blossoms cover up his resentment, and the beauty lingers at night after bathing. Unexpectedly, in the old age, the fishing sun is burning, and the quality of wisdom finally violates the plank road." The longing for love is gone to the bones, and the broken lamp sighs and envy turns into soup."
Li Yu actually recited a poem in seven steps, and actually put the three words "Tang Jiahui" in the poem! What a quick thinking, what a miracle!
You must know that the difficulty of embedded poems is not to embed the name into the poem, but that the entire poem must form a complete theme and have a harmonious artistic conception. If you just put the three words "Tang Jiahui" in three sentences to form a plausible combination, it is easy, and even a three-year-old child can do it. But if you want to turn the inscribed poem into a real poem, it will test your talent very much.
This poem written by Li Yu is about a past event in the Tang Dynasty. Emperor Ming of the Tang Dynasty pledged his love to Concubine Yang with a golden diamond, abandoned Concubine Mei and favored Concubine Yang exclusively, and passed down the music of "Nancy Clothes and Feather Clothes" through the ages. However, the Yuyang Fire broke out, and eventually the Tang Dynasty went from prosperity to decline.
The beauty of Li Yu's poem lies in the last two sentences, which are quite innovative and overturn the previous opinions. Poets all lamented that Emperor Ming of the Tang Dynasty strayed from his country because of his lovesickness. As the saying goes, "In the sky, I wish to be a winged bird, and on the ground, I wish to be a branch. The eternity of heaven and earth will eventually end, and this hatred will last forever."
Li Yu said in this poem: "The hatred of Emperor Tang Ming was not the hatred of love, but the hatred of remorse. In his later years, Emperor Tang Ming secretly envied Cheng Tang, who started well and ended well. It was just that he was a mute eating coptis and did not dare to face his faults. I can cover up my inner uneasiness and regret with lovesickness."
Hu Jiangxue was silent for a moment and suddenly said: "Although you recited a poem in seven steps, can you pass the test with this poem?"
Li Yu thought to himself: "Let me evaluate it myself? What kind of method is this? Then of course I will say that I have passed the test." While talking about it in detail: "Although my poem replaces gold with emerald because of the rhythm, Tin, the Yulin bell composed by Tang Minghuang on the plank road is called the plank road clang, but it is finally a qualified seven-rhythm song. It not only contains the three characters of Tang Jiahui, but also becomes a poem in seven steps, which has fulfilled the requirements of the master of Shuying Pavilion."
"Ha." I heard Hu Jiangxue chuckle, and then she sighed: "Are you complacent after reciting a poem? Please note that I have clearly stated that Tang Jiahui will have her birthday in three months, but you are so confused. . The purpose of my question was to ask you to write a birthday poem, but you foolishly asked me about the content?"
Li Yu couldn't help being stunned, and the expression on his face changed accordingly. Just listen to Hu Jiangxue continue: "Or maybe you have already guessed my request, but because you are not talented enough to write birthday wishes in a hurry, you have to choose another theme? It should be noted that poetry is the same as the world's affairs. If you avoid the difficult and take the easy, and avoid the important and take the light, it will be difficult to get a glimpse of the peak scenery."
These words reached Li Yu's heart, and he was so ashamed that he broke into a cold sweat. He was really only thinking about completing the task. In order to be able to write a complete poem, he deliberately ignored the birthday prompt. Now that Hu Jiangxue directly expressed his thoughts, he was speechless.
If it were anyone else, he would naturally protest to the Master of Shuying Pavilion: "You didn't say it clearly before! Now that I have written a poem in seven steps, you are here to find fault with me?"
But Li Yu knew very well that what Master Shuying Pavilion said was true. This speculative mentality of "giving up what is difficult and taking what is easy" is indeed a taboo in poetry. If the Master of Shuying Pavilion judged that he could not pass the test based on this, he would have no complaints.
However, after listening to the wonderful words of Master Shuying Pavilion, Li Yu became more and more interested in becoming Master Shuying Pavilion as his teacher. In just a few words, I have already seen that the master of Shuying Pavilion is very knowledgeable. If you can worship under his sect, you will receive endless lessons from him.
Therefore, Li Yu neither turned around and left nor said another word this time. In his heart, he hoped that Master Shuying Pavilion would be more lenient, but he was unable to ask out loud, so he could only stand blankly, with only a little hope in his eyes.
In the awkward silence, Hu Jiangxue suddenly smiled again: "Why, don't you want to defend yourself? In seven steps, you can feel emotional because of the plum blossoms falling to the ground, think of Mei Fei Jiang Caiping, and then think of Tang Minghuang and Yang My dear concubine, this astuteness is rare. Especially the last two sentences, the argument is quite novel, and it suddenly rises above the whole poem. It can be called a masterpiece. If I don't let you pass, I will deliberately embarrass you. In fact, since you read the poem In an instant, this second level has been passed.”
The Master of the Shuying Pavilion made the final decision, and Li Yu was relieved, but he felt dumbfounded, and complained secretly: "They say they have passed the customs a long time ago, but they make me worried. The Master of the Shuying Pavilion doesn't seem so amiable now!" He is obviously the leader of a faction, but he is still joking with me!"
He also thought that the first two levels were already so difficult, and he didn't know what more difficult tests there would be in the next three levels. His heart that had just let go immediately tightened again, and he concentrated on it, eliminating all distracting thoughts.
Hu Jiangxue said: "The third level is about tasting. You should have heard the sound of the piano before. The person playing the piano is Mr. Huijian from the Sheng Confucian sect. I will ask you this question, his Is the sound of the piano good or bad? I still give you half a cup of tea to think about it, and I look forward to your answer."
"What? Appreciate the sound of the piano?" As soon as he heard this question, Li Yu's mind suddenly went crazy.
We are obviously examining poetry, why do we suddenly want to criticize music? Growing up, except for the sound of bells played in the mountain breeze and the flute played by willow leaves, Li Yuke had never really been exposed to music! Where does this make him start? Did he want to applaud three times and shout "Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful" three times? Then he exclaimed: "This song should only be heard in heaven, how many times can it be heard in the human world?"
At this moment, Li Yu's expression was extremely weird, and he looked as dumb as a chicken, which actually caused a chuckle to leak out of the window on the second floor.
…
(Ahem, that inscribed poem was my own original work. It was not well written and it made me laugh. You can just laugh it off. But I still shamelessly ask for votes. After all, it took me more than seven years to write this poem. Steps! I guess there are 700 steps, it’s too difficult for me!)
