Everyone looked at Qian Huai's work and found that Qian Huai's work was a five-character poem.
Sloping peaks and curved paths,
Towering rocks and mountains.
The remaining flowers are playing with birds,
Cicadas chirp under the trees.
This is a landscape poem with a very good artistic conception.
With a smile on his face, Liu Chengen looked at Qian Huai and asked, "Mr. Qian, what's so special about your poem?"
"The student reported back to Mr. Liu that if you read my poem backwards, it will turn into another poem." Qian Huai responded with a smile.
Everyone immediately tried to read it in their own minds, and it turned out to be another poem.
Cicadas sing in hidden trees,
The birds are playing and the remaining flowers are blowing.
Mountains with towering rocks,
The winding path slopes around the peak.
"Okay!"
The students from Qidaohai Country applauded one after another. Qian Huai was really talented in literature. Even if this poem is read backwards, it does not affect the artistic conception of the poem at all, which is really rare.
Liu Chengen smiled and said: "Yes, this poem can indeed be read backwards. It can be called a strange poem."
"Thank you, Mr. Liu, for the compliment."
Qian Huai was very happy. He knew that his writing skills were nothing compared to those of Du Ning and Lin Hengyu, but he was the first to bring up the topic and win a good reputation no matter how well he wrote.
Liu Chengen looked at the scholars on the Holy Forest Continent and said meaningfully: "The Qian Master of the Seven Islands and Sea Kingdom has already started to attract people, so who will show off his literary talent next?"
When talking about this, everyone knew that Liu Chengen had already intended to let the scholars of the Holy Forest Continent display their poetry.
"Feipeng is in Shimoda. I am willing to show my shame in public and ask all the literary friends from the Seven Islands and Sea Kingdom for advice."
Not to be outdone, Tian Feipeng spoke, attracting the attention of many scholars, especially those from the Seven Islands Sea Country, who were like wolves and tigers.
"Okay, let's take a look at Mr. Tian's masterpiece."
Liu Chengen's tone was unhurried, but his eyes were fixed on Tian Feipeng.
Tian Feipeng turned a blind eye and showed his poems to everyone.
Lotus pickers are in Luyangjin,
A new addition in Luyangjin;
A new song washes the jade,
Singing washes the jade and picks the lotus.
"It's actually a palindrome poem."
"Scholars from the Holy Forest Continent actually have such literary talent?"
"The artistic conception is also very beautiful, not simple!"
The expressions of the scholars from Haiguo suddenly changed.
"Loop palindrome" refers to a poem that first continues to the end, and then continues from the end to the beginning. It is not a backward palindrome in terms of text, but a "palindrome" in content.
Poems in this format are also very rare, and can also be called a kind of "wonderful poetry".
Liu Chengen said: "Mr. Tian's poem is also a rare and strange poem. It is a "single strange poem" like Mr. Qian's poem. In comparison, it is just the same, and it is difficult to distinguish it from the other."
"Thank you, Mr. Liu, for your comment."
Tian Feipeng was polite, but he was not very satisfied with Liu Chengen's comments. He felt that although they were both "Shan Qi Shi", his own poem was already better than Qian Huai's.
However, the rule of today's literary society is "the one with more oddities wins." Whoever writes the most "odd" poems will be the leader of today's literary society, rather than deciding the winner based on the artistic conception in the poems.
For the same poem, everyone has a different understanding of its artistic conception. If one has to judge the quality of a poem based on its artistic conception, only the appreciation of a great scholar or a great Confucianist would be the most convincing.
Therefore, even if Liu Chengen's comments were intentionally biased, Tian Feipeng would not be able to gossip.
There are many people behind who have not shown their poetry. How can we care about such a thing? Doesn’t that make the mainland scholars stingy?
Liu Chengen continued to host the literary meeting, and scholars from the Holy Forest Continent and the Seven Islands Sea Kingdom enthusiastically presented their own works for literary comparison.
Most people write "single strange poems", and few people can write "double strange poems". The scholars on both sides compete fiercely, and they are still indistinguishable.
Du Ning was drinking tea by himself, with a calm demeanor, as if he was not a scholar attending a literary meeting, but an audience.
However, this scene made the scholars from the Seven Island Sea Kingdom opposite very unhappy.
"I really didn't expect Du Ning to be so calm, as if the scholars from the Holy Forest Continent can definitely beat us."
"Our Bachelor Lin hasn't produced his own work yet. Where did Du Ning get that kind of confidence?"
"When we win their golden war paper, let's see what their expressions will be like."
"I just don't believe that Du Ning, a mere Hanlin scholar, can surpass Mr. Lin in poetry."
Scholars from the Seven Islands Sea Country are full of confidence.
"At tonight's literary meeting, everyone wrote very good poems. It's hard to distinguish between the two."
Liu Chengen glanced at everyone and said slowly: "Now only Yun Qijun and Mr. Lin have not produced their own poems and essays, which means that your poems and essays are likely to determine the outcome of the literary competition.
Which one of you will come first?"
Lin Hengyu said to Du Ning: "Mr. Yunqi is a guest, and the guest comes first."
Du Ning smiled and said: "Mr. Lin is a senior, how dare you be the first? Mr. Lin should invite me first!"
Hearing this answer, Lin Hengyu showed a very satisfied smile, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly, outlining an arc.
"In this case, I will show my shame first."
After Lin Hengyu finished speaking, he presented his poems to everyone.
The wind blows in the brocade curtain,
The moonlight shines on the lotus pond.
The pond lotus shines on the dawn moon,
The brocade curtain blows in the morning breeze.
After reading this poem, the readers in the Holy Forest Continent all showed different smiles.
Tian Feipeng said solemnly: "If I read it correctly, this should be a 'Shan Qi Poem' read backwards, but Mr. Lin has a great literary reputation in the Seven Islands Sea Kingdom, and today he went out to defeat Du Ning."
Come on, theoretically it’s impossible to write Shan Qi’s poem. Is there some mystery behind it?”
Lin Hengyu showed a very mysterious and proud smile.
Fan Rulong said: "Brother Tian is right. At first glance, this is a single odd poem characterized by palindrome. In fact, this poem also has the characteristics of "the original palindrome" and is a double odd poem.
Poetry."
"Oh?"
Tian Feipeng's expression changed slightly, and then he read the poem again. Sure enough, as Fan Rulong said, he could perform "this palindrome".
The so-called "this palindrome" means that a poem itself completes a palindrome, that is, the second half is a palindrome of the first half.
"Sure enough!" Tian Feipeng exclaimed.
At this time, Du Ning said: "Look at this poem again. After reading it backwards, the content of the poem is exactly the same as the poem you are reading. It is still a 'palindrome'. Not only does it not change every word,
, and the order remains unchanged, it can be called the 'three wonders'."
"Three wonderful poems!"
At this moment, both scholars looked shocked.
Everyone read it again, and sure enough, as Du Ning said, the content and order of the poems were exactly the same whether they were read forward or backward.
"Okay! Mr. Lin is truly worthy of being a great scholar from our seven-island sea country. He is actually able to write the 'Three Strange Poems'. It is really eye-opening and amazing. He is truly a great talent!"
Liu Chengen couldn't help but clapped his hands and exclaimed, with a smile on his face and he felt extremely happy.
"We win! We win! Mr. Lin will be the first in this literary competition if he writes the 'Three Strange Poems'!"
"That's right! Although Du Ning is a scholar of the human race, in my opinion he cannot write three strange poems. Even if he can really write three strange poems, he may not be able to surpass Mr. Lin in terms of artistic conception.
There is no doubt that our seven-island maritime country has won this cultural conference."
"If Du Ning wants to beat Mr. Lin, there is only one way, and that is to write the Four Strange Poems. But that is simply impossible. Even if it is a great scholar, it is not easy to write the Four Strange Poems. It takes a certain amount of time.
, but also need very rare inspiration."
"That's right! It turns out that the civilization of our Seven Island Sea Country is better than that of the Holy Forest Continent. If Du Ning can't write the Four Strange Poems, then they will definitely lose."
"Fellow literary friends on the Holy Forest Continent, have you seen the power of our Mr. Lin now? He has written three strange poems by himself. I just want to ask you if you are convinced!"
The scholars in the Seven Islands and Sea Country were laughing from ear to ear, thinking that they had already secured the victory, but Du Ning could not write the Four Strange Poems no matter what.
The scholars in the Holy Forest Continent had ugly expressions. They knew very well that even if Du Ning could write three strange poems, Liu Cheng'en would make a biased evaluation, let Du Ning's poem fail, and then judge Lin Hengyu's
Three odd poems win.
If Du Ning wants to defeat Lin Hengyu, he has only one way, which is to write four extraordinary poems to crush Lin Hengyu's three extraordinary poems. Otherwise, everyone will lose this literary competition.
"Du Ning..."
Everyone's eyes turned to Du Ning. Now, the hope of the literary world in the Holy Forest Continent lies with Du Ning alone.
The scholars in the Seven Islands and Sea Kingdom also looked at Du Ning, and they cast different eyes.
Some people are scornful, some are ridiculing, and some are full of disdain.
In the eyes of scholars from the Seven Islands Sea Country, Du Ning has already lost.
"The outcome is very obvious. General Zhang, what do you personally think?" Lei Hua deliberately spoke loudly.
Zhang Zewen smiled and said: "Although it was our Seven Islands Sea Country that won the victory, we also want to thank Du Jun. If Du Jun had not visited our Seven Islands Sea Country today, we would not have seen this Sanqi poem written by Mr. Lin.
”
"General Zhang's words make sense. We scholars in the Seven Islands and Sea Kingdom are naturally grateful to Du Jun." Lei Hua was proud.
However, Lin Hengyu looked serious. At this time, his eyes were on Du Ning, and he saw that Du Ning still looked calm until now.
This made Lin Hengyu feel a little uneasy. Is it Du Ning who is pretending to be too calm, or is Du Ning confident that his poems can surpass his own Sanqi poems?
After all, everyone has not seen the poem written by Du Ning.
"I am a long-established bachelor, but Du Ning is just Han Lin. I must be superior to him in literature. In terms of poetry, Du Ning is not my opponent." Lin Hengyu thought in his heart.
Liu Chengen couldn't wait to say: "Du Jun, please let us see your work now!"
