LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 76 Participation (3)
"It's "Inscribed on the Monk's House in Helin Temple" written by the Tang Dynasty poet Li She. I don't know the background under which he wrote this poem, so I'm not sure what emotions this poem expresses. "
"I was in a state of drunkenness and dreaming all day long, when I suddenly heard that spring was coming and I was climbing a mountain.
When I passed the bamboo courtyard, I met a monk and talked to him, so I had half a day's leisure. 』
"Oh, it turns out to be this one, let me think about it."
Wu Ye paced back and forth, and after a while, he remembered what the teacher had taught him in class in his previous life.
"Poet Li She was demoted to Shaanxi and Sichuan Sicang to join the army during Emperor Xianzong of Tang Dynasty. During Emperor Wenzong's reign, he was called up to be a doctor of Taixue, and was later exiled to the south. During his exile, in the words of his poem, he was "drunk and dreaming all day long" ", the mood was extremely depressed.
"However, after "Suddenly Hearing the Spring Climbing the Mountain", during his chat with the eminent monks of Helin Temple, he unintentionally untied the knot of depression, resolved the worries of being addicted to the world, and experienced the ease of facing reality and life. It was only through this feeling that I was able to add a little happiness to my long-numbed soul, so I happily wrote this poem on the wall of the temple to express my inner feelings of "stealing half a day's leisure."
"So the word "steal" is the finishing touch of this poem. Half a day's leisure is because I stole it from the words of a monk who met in the bamboo courtyard. This word contains a deep meaning of Zen, revealing the boring and numb life. Leisure is the rarest thing."
Wu Ye finished speaking in one breath, then Xingqiu cupped his hands towards Wu Ye and said with a smile:
"I wasn't sure before, but now it seems that Wu Ye, you are really "Wuzhui" himself. However, I really don't understand the background of this poem, so I asked. I am very grateful for your answer and please bear with me. My discourtesy."
"Haha, Brother Xingqiu, you are too smart. I am not a stingy person, so I won't blame you. But I would like you to help me hide my identity, okay?"
"Good talk, good talk."
"So, Hutao, what about you, Hutao, have you decided which poem to use? It won't be "The Ballad of Qiuqiu", right?"
Xingqiu asked curiously.
"What's wrong?! Is my "Qiuqiu Ballad" not as good as others'? Originally, I didn't want to use my own poems, just because I was afraid that I would surprise people on and off the stage by saying it. Hum, I have to surprise you today. Look at the gold content of the dark limerick poets of the alley school!"
Wu Ye and Xingqiu looked at each other, and Xingqiu smiled helplessly. Wu Ye touched Hutao's head and said seriously:
"Okay! I believe you! You will definitely wow the judges later."
......
"We invite the thirty-fifth contestant, Mr. Xingqiu, the second young master from Feiyun Chamber of Commerce. Everyone, please give me a round of applause!"
......
"Congratulations to Mr. Xingqiu for scoring 32 points and becoming third in one fell swoop. Let's wait and see if the next contestants can squeeze out the top three contestants."
"Next, I invite the thirty-sixth contestant, the seventy-seventh head of the Rebirth Hall, Miss Hutao, please give me a round of applause!"
"Hello everyone, my name is Hutao. Hutao's Hu is Hu who eats and drinks from the sea, but Hutao's peach is not naughty! Hehe... no, isn't it funny?"
The whole place was silent. Just when Hu Tao was a little disappointed, a few monkey calls came from the audience.
"Wuhu! Wuhu! Oh ho ho! (It's so funny! It's so funny! It's so funny, such a cute little girl, I have to let her be Wu Ye's wife!)"
"Hey! Ape God, stop screaming! Everyone is looking at us!"
Paimon stamped his feet and said in embarrassment.
"Uh hahaha, don't look at me, I don't recognize it..."
Pamon looked at everyone and smiled awkwardly.
......
"Okay, this hall master's self-introduction is over. Next, I will recite my original poem, "Attracting Butterflies and Picking Up Fragrances."
"The red ball flies away diagonally when it opens."
The most unsettling thing is that the weather turns sunny and rainy again
stay for blood color
Bianjunmianhuafang
Helpless to burn flowers for incense
The butterfly can leave a ray of fragrance"
"Okay, I'm done reading."
Hutao clapped her hands and looked forward eagerly, waiting for the judges' comments.
However, everyone on and off the stage fell silent.
"Hmm? What's the matter? Didn't I understand it just now? Let me read it again."
"No need! Don...Miss Hutao, I was just thinking about the meaning of your poem, and I finally understand it!"
"Oh! Then tell me."
Hutao held his hands and looked at Zhongli expectantly, while the other three judges and all the audience were also staring at Zhongli, a cultural master.
"Uh," Zhongli, who was always calm and collected no matter what he encountered, awkwardly picked his toes a few times and then said bravely,
"Miss Walnut's poem is extremely free in style and contains five, seven, and even eight characters. The whole poem does not sound complicated at first. It describes the process of a butterfly collecting pollen, and the emotions of observing this scene. The mood of the poet.”
"'Fly away diagonally when the red flowers bloom' means that the red flowers bloom and the butterflies fly to collect the powder, while 'the most uneasy god is clear and rainy again' describes the changeable weather and the poet's uneasiness."
The more Zhongli talked, the smoother he became.
"As for "Standing to collect blood, sleeping with you in the flower house" it clearly states that the butterfly collects pollen and stays in the corolla. "He has no choice but to burn flowers to make incense" clearly shows that the poet burns flowers to make incense in order to have peace of mind. Finally, "the butterfly can "Leave a wisp of fragrance" sums up the phrase "Butterflies gather powder and leave, leaving behind a ray of fragrance."
When Zhongli said this, he suddenly realized something.
"Looking from the front, the two main images in the poem are 'red flower' and 'butterfly'. If the red flower is compared to the deceased person and the butterfly is compared to the soul of the deceased, then the whole poem becomes a description The soul of a deceased person leaves the body and is reincarnated.”
"Looking from the side, the whole poem represents a complete Liyue-style funeral. The first and second sentences state that after a person dies, he must first keep a vigil and express his grief in a mourning way."
"The third sentence represents the grooming of the deceased before entering the coffin, which is called "Little Examination". The fourth sentence represents the subsequent move of the deceased into the coffin, and nailing the nails to seal the coffin, which is called "Great Examination"."
"The fifth and sixth sentences mean that the cremation will follow, and the ashes will be placed in the box to accompany the loved ones."
"The whole poem vividly describes the entire process of holding a funeral in the Hall of Purity from both sides! The meaning of the words in the poem contains the unique rhythmic beauty of the Chinese language, showing the complex techniques of ancient poetry and the shaping of artistic conception. It is really a good poem! It is fascinating. Awesome!"
"I'll give it ten points!"
Zhong Li pounded the table excitedly, while Ning Guang, Ke Qing and Yan Fei were stunned for a moment.
Hutao couldn't help but cover her mouth and exclaimed:
"Could this be a poem I came up with?!"
At this time, many viewers in the audience suddenly realized.
"Let me tell you, this is not a simple limerick!"
"That's right, Hall Master Hu is truly a god."
"Palace Master Hu should be like a poet!"
A ceremonial attendant of the Purangsheng Hall who was catching fish raised his arms and shouted.
"Wuhu! Lululu!!! (I'm knocking! Six six six!)"
The ape god jumped up and echoed loudly.
"Miss Walnut, that's a heifer flying—it's awesome."
"Oh, when will I be able to write a poem like this? It's really like lending a heifer to plow my fields - it makes me awesome."
......
Under the praise of everyone, Hutao blushed and lowered her head in embarrassment.
"I didn't expect that Hallmaster Hu's poetry attainments are so high that Mr. Zhongli gave ten points for the first time! Then please give the scores to the other three judges."
"No need to say more, nine points!"
"Nine points!"
"very!"
"Wow! Miss Hutao actually scored thirty-eight points! She is really a goddess, maybe she really has the appearance of a poet! Congratulations to Miss Hutao for ranking first, there are not many contestants behind, let us Let’s see if there is anyone who can surpass Miss Walnut!”
