Chapter Three Hundred and Fifty-Four: 'Water Melody Song Head'
After writing a poem, there is still one word left.
Regarding the lyrics about the moon, the first thing Xu Qing thought of was this one:
water melody singer
When will the bright moon come? I drink wine and ask the sky. I don’t know what year it is in the palace in the sky. I want to ride the wind back home, but I am afraid that the towers and jade buildings will be too cold at high places. I dance to clear the shadows, how can I feel like I am in the human world.
Turning around the Zhu Pavilion, looking down at the door, the light is sleepless. There should be no hatred, so why do we have to be reunited when we say goodbye? People have joys and sorrows, and the moon waxes and wanes. This is something that has never been done in ancient times. I hope that people will live forever and share the beauty of the moon thousands of miles away.
However, after writing it, Xu Qing felt a little sad that such a famous article was actually used in a mere competition.
Wasted, wasted!
I hope layman Dongpo will not come over to talk to me in the middle of the night.
Xu Qing suddenly remembered that there was a more direct song, "The Moonlight Is Bright in front of the Bed!"
I was so short-circuited just now that I didn't even think of this catchy poem that I've been reading since I was a kid.
[Actually, the author didn’t think of it.]
After writing one word of the poem, Xu Qing did not write any more.
It's not that he can't write, it's because he's really afraid that if he can't hold back his pen, he'll make the other person angry to death.
In the first scene, I made three poems and three words, which made people sick for three days and three nights.
In the second scene, one word of my poem made people cough out a mouthful of old blood.
In this third game, you should be more cautious and pay attention to the influence of the two countries. If you really want to make this narrow-minded Zhao people angry to death, there is no way to end it.
After Xu Qing finished writing, he put down his pen and silently waited for Kuang Zhou opposite him.
Finally, when the stick of incense was burning and there was still a little bit of shandy left, Kuang Zhou finally put down the pen. Xu Qing was about to say something, but Kuang Zhou waved his hand feebly: "I'm used to it, I'm used to it..."
Xu Qing: "..."
Originally, the first question of the month was not difficult, not to mention the time it took to burn an incense stick, and it was not difficult to write a poem in seven steps. However, after Kuang Zhou met Xu Qing, he began to become cautious, tearing it up, and tearing it up.
I kept revising and finally put down the pen at the last moment.
However, during the competition, Kuang Zhou's poems were ultimately defeated by the Poetry Immortal.
However, this was also expected by Xu Qing. If the poems of Li Bai, the Poet Immortal, can be compared so easily, then he is not a Poet Immortal.
This "Mount Emei Moon Song" reaches a state of free galloping in terms of time and space span. Five place names appear in the twenty-eight characters, totaling twelve characters. This is the only one seen among thousands of Tang Dynasty quatrains. However,
, although there are many place names, it can still express emotions. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a swan song.
I am afraid that no one except poetry immortals can master this kind of writing.
When Xu Qing looked at Kuang Zhou, Kuang Zhou's eyes no longer had the same pride as at the beginning, nor the disbelief he had when he lost the poem in the first game.
As he said, he is used to it...
While Xu Qing was observing Kuang Zhou, the original manuscript of poems placed on the copy table suddenly disappeared with a burst of white shadow.
Xu Qing turned around and looked at the still empty transcription table, and took a peek at Qin Xiang who was arranging his cuffs at the side...
What just made a swishing sound?
After finishing the poem comparison, it’s time to start the argument.
When the reciter was about to pick up the poem and recite it, Qin Xiang took the poem over and started reading.
After Prime Minister Qin finished reading it, his eyes were fixed on the paper, as if he wanted to remember every word.
Qin Xiang was a person who loved poetry, and he had many good poetry collections at home.
But after reading the title of this water-melody song, I felt that all the lyrics I collected in the past pale in comparison.
This poem definitely expresses Yue to the extreme!
He has seen a lot of poems about the moon and has collected many of them, but most of them are simply descriptions of the moon. But this poem seems to be a dialogue with the bright moon, in which he explores the meaning of life.
It is both rational and interesting, and very thought-provoking.
It's very meaningful and yet unfinished.
He made up his mind that the manuscript of this poem would be his lifeblood from now on! Whoever competes with him will be impatient with him!
Not only Prime Minister Qin, but also Zhao Daru who was sitting in the seat trembled slightly after hearing this word. His intuition told him that this word will definitely be famous for centuries and will last forever!
As soon as this word comes out, all words in the world will be eclipsed by it!
This poem is definitely a masterpiece!
Da Chu won this round!
Although it is just one word, it is enough to compare with the great victory brought by three poems and three words in the first game!
After listening to this poem, hundreds of officials started talking about it, and they rushed over the "Shui Diao Ge Tou" they had just copied.
This scene was also expected by Xu Qing.
"Shui Tiao Ge Tou" was one of the best poems in his previous life, not to mention that this poem was far from reaching its peak in the Chu, Zhao and Zhou Dynasties.
Nowadays, the lyrics written in this world want to compete with Layman Dongpo's "Shui Tiao Ge Tou", which is a bit whimsical.
Su Qian was also very touched. During the fake marriage, she heard Xu Qing recite two of the lines when she first married her husband. To this day, she still remembers the time in Yongzhou, in that small courtyard, when the two of them admired the moon together.
The words recited by my husband: People have joys and sorrows, separations and reunions, and the moon waxes and wanes. It is difficult to do this in ancient times. I hope that people will live long and share the beauty of the moon thousands of miles away.
Today, my husband has completed the sentence that he recited in the small courtyard at that time.
For a time, the people of Chu State all looked at Xu Qing. The Chu State's literature and art had been in decline since the founding of the country. They were often said to be militaristic by Zhou and Zhao. But after today, who dares to say that Chu is militaristic?
!
Going militarily?
Find someone to compare poems with our uncle from Anding County in Da Chu.
Can it compare to you?
In this comparison of literature and art, Xu Qing is definitely a well-deserved hero of Da Chu, a great hero!
Sitting aside, Kuang Zhou had a wry smile on his face. He spent a whole stick of incense carving out the words. He thought that even if he lost, the difference would not be too far.
But the cold reality told him that after he finally tried hard, Xu Qing let him lose so completely...
Finally, Kuangzhou spoke with difficulty: "The foreign minister admits defeat..."
Xu Qing could not help but feel sorry for these ancient people when he heard the admiration and praise from the people around him.
I can’t even say a sentence that applies to all kinds of emotions...
Kuang Zhou took the initiative to admit defeat, and the battle ended with Xu Qing winning without any suspense.
In the end, Qin Xiangdao said: "This time the comparison between Chu and Zhao's literary skills: in chess, Zhao Guo wins; in classics and righteousness, the two countries are equal; in poetry, Chu wins! This time in the comparison between Chu and Zhao's literary skills, it is a draw!"
When the envoy from Zhao State heard this scene, he couldn't help but feel a little confused, and a trace of bitterness spread from the corner of his mouth. Unexpectedly, among the civilized people, Zhao State despised it the most, and the Chu State, which had always been called vulgarly, could now be in WenDao.
In comparison, they were tied with Zhao Guo, who was the most literary among them.
Zhao Daru looked at all this, with a smile on his wrinkled old face. Although he could not see the Chu State surpassing the Zhao State in terms of literature and education in this life, he could see the hope that the Chu State would surpass the Zhao State.
!
Although there are regrets in this life, it is worth it!
Just when Emperor Chu was about to announce the end of the competition, Xu Qing looked at Ambassador Zhao Guozheng and said, "Envoy Lu Zheng."
The envoy of Zhao Guozheng looked at Xu Qing and said: "What other advice can you give me, Uncle Anding County?"
Xu Qing looked at Zhao Guozheng and said: "This competition of literature and art, chess, classic meaning, and poetry are all proposed by your country. If it is seen by outsiders, it will be like using one's own strengths to attack the other party."
It’s too short-sighted.”
The envoy of the State of Zhao looked at Xu Qing and said, "I wonder what the Anding County uncle means?"
Xu Qing said with a smile: "Why don't we have a competition? The title of this extra competition of literary and moral education will be decided by our country of Chu. This way it is fair. What do you think, envoy?"
