Chapter 731 730 "Why so much trouble? - The debate between "civilians" and "intellectuals""
Song Tangtang looked at it, and actually pulled Fang Minghua's arm to signal him to get out of the way, and sat down on his butt Look hard at your computer chair.
"Hey, didn't you say we would go out for a walk together?" Fang Minghua asked.
"Go out by yourself and take the bean sprouts with you. By the way, don't forget to pick up the baby from the Children's Palace at 4:30." Song Tangtang said without looking back.
Fang Minghua shook his head and had no choice but to leave the study and go downstairs. As soon as he arrived in the yard, Demu Bean sprouts came up with their heads wagging.
"Let's take a walk." Fang Minghua whistled and went out with his hands behind his back, followed by Dou Miao, one man and one dog, and they walked out of Chaoyang Gate and wandered along the city wall.
I had to do the work arranged by my wife. I walked around a lot to see if the time was about the same. When I got home, I drove straight to the Xijing Children’s Palace.
Two children were learning table tennis here. After Fang Minghua took the children home, he found that the living room on the first floor was empty. The nanny Xiaoqin was busy in the kitchen, and there was no sign of his wife.
Fang Minghua went upstairs and found Song Tangtang still staring at the computer in the study.
"Hey, your neck isn't sore?" Fang Minghua asked.
"Ah?" Song Tangtang came back to consciousness from the article and touched his stiff neck.
"Minghua, in the past few years, I have found that you rarely care about the poetry world. I didn't expect that you could write such insightful articles."
"Not caring does not mean that you don't care. "Pay attention." Fang Minghua replied with a smile: "Don't look at it. Your neck is stiff. Let me massage it for you." Rejected Fang Minghua's kindness.
"I won't read it now. I'll read it again when I have time. Bring the two babies back? I'll go check on the kids." After saying that, he stood up and walked out the door.
Fang Minghua sat in front of the computer and started revising it seriously.
After dinner in the evening, the couple was going for a walk. Before they went out, they heard someone ringing the doorbell at the door. Fang Minghua went to open the door and found that it was Bai Miao and Jia Pingwa.
"You two? Playing mahjong? There's still one missing, Lu Yao?" Fang Minghua greeted with a smile.
"I'm not playing mahjong tonight. Bai Miao and I wanted to see what you were writing at home, but you didn't even go fishing," Jia Pingwa said.
Fang Minghua chuckled.
"Okay, I just finished writing, please give me some comments." After saying that, he led the two of them through the door to his study room on the second floor. Xiaoqin hurriedly brought two cups of brewed tea. Jia Pingwa sat down on the computer chair. When Fang Minghua turned on the computer, she couldn't wait to watch it with Bai Miao.
Why so much trouble? ——"The Debate between "Folk" and "Intellectuals""
"In the 1990s, especially in the past two years, many Chinese poets and critics have joined the line between "folk writing" and "intellectual writing" "The protracted debate."
"The debate is a key, multi-faceted node in the discourse of avant-garde poetry. In terms of the (self) image of avant-garde poetry, interpersonal relationships in the poetry world, and publishing models, it is different from Early Game with the Literary System ”
"What are we arguing about in the first section?"
The debate has produced a large amount of excess public materials, such as poetry and critical anthologies, academic monographs, folk and mainstream literary journals, articles in local dailies and weeklies, etc. .
In October last year, Cheng Guangwei, a critic based in the capital, compiled an anthology of poems called "Remaining Photos of the Years." Hong Zicheng, chief editor of the "90s Literature Book Series", pointed out to readers in the preface to the book series that compared with the 1980s, the poetry atmosphere in the 1990s has changed.
First of all, it is a person with independent opinions and positions An intellectual, and secondly a poet.
In contrast, Yu Jian put forward his own views in his "The Light of Poetry Across the Chinese Language" and "The Hardness and Softness of the Tongue of Poetry": folk poetry is a reflection of daily life experience. Reappearance, carpenter-like skills, language movement that penetrates forgetfulness and returns to the home of existence, the light reflected by wisdom and soul
"Section 2, why are we arguing?"
As China's social and cultural changes become increasingly rapid and in-depth, avant-garde art begins to thrive and flourish, eclipsing the obstructive forces, and various new poetry trends The common obstacles of the past become irrelevant.
During this period, the identity of contemporary poets has been reshaped many times, conflicts and repositioning within avant-garde poetry have begun to emerge, and the commercialization of society is flowing everywhere, which is a new common resistance in the eyes of many people. It failed to get the poets to be in the same boat.
In this way, the center of the debate between "folks" and "intellectuals" is actually the issue of the inheritance of the poet's identity!
In other words, only we and our comrades have the right to serve as the torchbearers for carrying on the long tradition and obtain the symbolic capital brought by the fact that Chinese poetry has regained its artistic independence!
Section 3: Where does poetry go after the controversy?
The evolution history of the two concepts from the early to mid-1990s has actually provided another possibility for the development of Chinese poetry, which is a new trend after the conflict. Looking back on this debate from now on, we can see that it indeed had a great impact on the future direction of poetry, and laid the foundation for moving towards a diversified pattern again
Section 4: What "I" think is good poetry.
There are so many buildings in Chinese history, but in the end there are only four famous buildings that have written records. As long as there are words and poetry, the Yellow Crane Tower can be continuously burned and rebuilt. This is civilization. Where poetry is, Yellow Crane Tower is there. ".
Chen Yinke proposed "poetry and history mutually prove each other." Poetry is often more real than history. Chen Yinke said: "Although Chinese poetry is short, it includes three points: time, personnel, and geography." He said "History of the Tang Dynasty" There are many taken for granted, many mistakes, and the relationship between time, place, and people is unclear, making it difficult to draw conclusions. However, Tang poetry clearly talks about time, place, and people, as well as people's emotions and relationships, and they are integrated into the old poem. Du Fu's poems have historical significance and are known as "the history of poetry".
At the time of great changes in his country at the end of the Ming Dynasty, Wang Euzhi hid in the mountains and systematically sorted out and summarized the aesthetics of traditional poetry. On the basis of emphasizing the "fusion of scenes", he proposed the integration of "emotions, scenes, and events". He said: "A moment, an event, and a feeling are all composed of these four words. They can be thousands of miles wide and can last a thousand years." Such a sincere statement! Poetry is not only a history of personal emotions and soul, but also a history of life and society. This is also the reason why the tradition of "people and poems corroborating each other" has a long history and is timeless
Foreign poetry is also a tradition of Chinese poetry; in short, expressing it in Chinese is Chinese poetry. As long as they are translated into Chinese, these foreign poems can become part of Chinese and Chinese literature. After translation and transformation by Bian Zhilin and Mu Dan, these foreign poems have been transformed and absorbed, just like the translated Buddhist classics have become part of Chinese culture.
When we read and write poetry, we hope to achieve a spiritual improvement, so the first is a personal issue, and the second is external influence, such as gaining recognition from readers, the market, and the so-called domestic and foreign recognition. If Without this, it can be said that the original intention has been lost.
A few eloquent pages.
Jia Pingwa looked at it for a while, shook her head, stood up, picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said. "I don't have much research on poetry, so I can't comment."
Bai Miao took it seriously. As the former editor-in-chief of "Yanhe" and having worked under Fang Minghua for many years, he knew the weight of this article.
“Can it be published in Yanhe?” he asked.
"I think so too, but this is an invitation for "Tianya" magazine." Fang Minghua was a little apologetic: "I also have a novel, which was originally an invitation for "Tianya" magazine, but it can be published in "Yanhe" ”
