Chapter 89 Dominate the Show
“Plum Blossoms...”
Seeing his lot, Gu Xu felt quite happy.
Because plum blossoms are one of the Four Gentlemen of Flowers, they have been favored by literati in past dynasties and dynasties, leaving behind many masterpieces handed down from generation to generation - just from the ancient poems that middle school students must memorize, he can I think of a lot.
If he draws something relatively unpopular like "Peony" or "Poppy", then he will have a headache. After all, as a science dog in his previous life, he had not read many ancient poems outside of textbooks.
However, in today's situation, even if it was a plum poem, he couldn't copy it casually.
It must also conform to the purpose of "Proud of Frost and Standing of Snow".
Like the song "Sparse shadows are slanting across the clear water, and the faint fragrance is floating in the moonlit dusk", which is known as the "Eternal Song of Plum Blossoms", and the very artistic song "Beside the Broken Bridge Outside the Post Office", Neither can be used here.
In addition, Gu Xu can roughly guess that if everything in front of him is really a test set by the "Jinghong Pen", then he must write a poem that will dazzle everyone in order to be in the audience. This "Hundred Flowers Poetry Society" passed the customs - at least not inferior to Lu Shiyao's poem about the flower blossoms.
Gu Xu was silent for a moment and gradually had an idea in his mind.
"Madam, do you have any pen and ink?" He turned to look at Mrs. Lu.
"Baihua Poetry Club" does not require guests to recite poems orally.
The poems that everyone recited just now were also recorded by servants.
However, Gu Xu was the first to propose writing poems himself.
"Is this kid trying to do something unique to attract people's attention?" Someone secretly guessed in private.
But in fact, Gu Xu's idea was very simple.
He just felt that when doing cultural communication in a different world for the first time, he had to be more serious.
“Of course.” Mrs. Lu smiled.
Immediately she ordered the servant to hand the pen, ink, paper and inkstone to Gu Xu.
Gu Xu picked up the pen and splashed ink on the paper.
His calligraphy has delicate bones, beautiful stipples, alternating density and sparseness, and clever whitening.
Just like the symbols he painted, they are elegant and fresh, but also elegant and beautiful.
In an instant, the poem is completed.
Gu Xu handed the rice paper in front of him to the servant, and the servant showed the poem he wrote in front of everyone.
Only it says:
"There are several plum trees in the corner,
" Ling Han blooms alone.
"I know it's not snow from a distance,
"because there is a faint fragrance coming. ”
Everyone was startled when they saw this poem. Their previous doubts about Gu Xu disappeared without a trace, and there was even some appreciation in their eyes.
The language of this poem is simple and natural, with neither too gorgeous words nor the slightest trace of carving, but it is very picturesque, making everyone involuntarily imagine the image of white plum blossoms blooming alone in the corner.
"Madam, what do you think?" Chen Anzhi asked in a low voice.
Mrs. Lu thought for a moment and replied: "This young man is a man of real talent and learning. In terms of poetic attainments, he has already broken away from the stage of piling up rhetoric and picking up people's wisdom, and has reached a state of returning to nature and being completely self-contained. "
Chen Anzhi nodded.
When she wrote the song "Peony", she was careful about every word and every sentence. She not only pursued neat rhythm, but also deliberately used many metaphors, contrasts and other figures of speech.
At first glance, the flowers are blooming.
But compared with Gu Xu's poem, it seems to be too craftsmanship and pales in comparison.
It’s like a promiscuous woman wearing heavy makeup meets a fairy who descends to earth without any makeup.
Lu Shiyao, who was sitting at the edge of the long table, nodded slightly, with appreciation in his indifferent eyes.
In her opinion, Gu Xu's poem seemed to be written simply and casually, but in fact it had an exquisite layout and arrangement, and his skills in practicing words and sentences were also extraordinary.
For example, "corner" and "Linghan"... reflect the situation that no one appreciates the plum blossoms, and also reflect their proud grace of snow and frost; the last two sentences not only depict the color of plum blossoms, but also use "remote knowledge" and "hidden knowledge". "Fragrance" shows the subtle and refreshing characteristics of plum blossom aroma.
"Well written!" With an appreciative smile on his face, Tang Hui began to take the lead in applauding Gu Xu. As for Chu Fengge...he didn't know how to evaluate whether a poem was good or bad.
He just felt that this poem was catchy to read, much easier to understand and more comfortable than the poems of other people here.
…………
At this moment, in the corner of the wall out of sight of everyone, a plum tree quickly took root, sprouted branches and leaves, and was about to bloom.
“Jinghongbi”, who has a picky taste, apparently also unknowingly agreed with Gu Xu’s poems.
…………
After writing this poem, Gu Xu did not stop writing immediately, but still wrote furiously on the rice paper.
The servant beside him wanted to dissuade him.
But after Mrs. Lu caught a glimpse of the content on the paper, she waved her hand: "Let him continue writing!"
Soon, Gu Xu finished writing the second poem:
" Wearing this body in the ice and snow forest,
“It’s not like peaches and plums mixed with fragrant dust.
“Suddenly my hair smelled fresh all night,
"Thousands of miles of spring spread across the universe."
"This kid is really smart and quick!"
Seeing this scene, everyone couldn't help but take a deep breath.
Writing two excellent plum poems in a short period of time is not something that ordinary people can do.
Because this requires not only inspiration and talent, but also deep enough cultural accumulation and poetic heritage.
If the previous poem embodies the loneliness of a few plum blossoms blooming alone in a secluded corner, it is the pride of not fearing the eyes of others.
In this poem, the white plum blossoms are blooming, the fragrance is overflowing, and the jade is clear.
“One poem stands alone in the cold and sticks to oneself; the other poem is completely different from popular customs and helps the world,” Mrs. Lu sincerely admired, “It seems that this young man has great ambitions!”
Chen Anzhi beside her also admired Gu Xu.
Because the poems of many people present were limited to one garden and one house, and they were all forced to express their sorrow for the sake of writing poems, which made the table full of artificial melancholy.
There are few people like Gu Xu who can write the broad pattern of "spreading the universe thousands of miles apart".
…………
At this moment, all the white plum blossoms in the corner are in full bloom.
It looks like snow on the branches.
The fragrance is overflowing and refreshing.
…………
Gu Xu has not stopped writing.
A moment later, he wrote another poem on the rice paper in front of him:
"Wind and rain send spring back, and flying snow welcomes spring. There are already hundreds of feet of ice on the cliff, but there are still beautiful flowers and branches.< br>
“Qiao doesn’t fight for spring, she only repays it. When the mountain flowers were in full bloom, she smiled among the bushes. ”
Although this is a poem, it does not conform to the current rules of Baihua Poetry Society;
But when they saw the content on the paper, everyone was impressed by it and sighed at themselves.
Today, in a matter of seconds, Gu Xu wrote three masterpieces of plum blossoms under the title "Proud of Snow and Lingshuang". The emotions progressed step by step, and the feelings became more heroic and passionate.
Obviously, everyone could not have imagined that in this poem, the delicate and frail flowers could be shown to be so powerful and high-spirited.
“Today’s ‘Hundred Flowers Poetry Society’, this person should be the leader!” They all thought in unison.
