Chapter 36 The fear of being dominated by Lord Shixian (2)
In fact, it is the same idea as Lu Zhaoling and Dong Fangshu.
The people gathered around, as well as the old masters, all thought that the poem Jiang Fan just recited should have been prepared before, but was just taken out temporarily.
Because that poem has reached a certain level of perfection from the concise and beautiful choice of words and sentences, to the freewheeling rhetorical techniques, to the profound and refined expression of artistic conception.
No one can believe that such a poem, which has no shortcomings no matter how you look at it, was improvised by Jiang Fan.
Although there are many people who are capable of improvising poems on the spot, they can even speak a lot.
But in such poems, which may be relatively simple, there will always be many areas for further consideration in the words and sentences.
Or it may be rather blunt, often far-fetched for the sake of complete structure. When you hear it at first glance, you may think it is catchy, but if you think about it carefully, you will definitely find many things that don't make sense.
There is no way to avoid this problem.
Improvisation tests your quick wits. There is not enough time to think and ponder, and of course omissions in details are inevitable.
However, Jiang Fan's previous recitation of "Pursing Wine to the Moon" does not have any of the above-mentioned problems, and the quality is extremely high. It is said to be the best among the seven ancient and modern rhythms, and there will probably not be much opposition.
No matter how you look at it, such a poem cannot be the product of improvisation on the spot.
But even if it had been prepared before, and after repeated deliberation and modification, it finally turned into what it looks like now, which is still shocking enough.
Therefore, neither the old masters nor the crowd gathered around thought there was anything wrong with this approach.
His admiration and appreciation for Jiang Fan's poetic talents have not diminished at all.
But this does not affect everyone's concerns about Jiang Fan's impromptu poetry.
Can it really be done?
Poems that mainly write about people, with the moon only serving as an embellishment, have never appeared before in the nearly forty-year history of poetry in Zhou Dynasty!
Jiang Fan looked around and then at Lu Zhaoling's expression of wisdom. He couldn't help but chuckle and said, "Writing about people? Embellished with the moon? Is this the title you proposed?"
"That's right! How about it? Can you improvise it? As long as you can do it and meet the standards for admission to the kindergarten, I will be willing to admit defeat! Of course, if you can't do it...hehe..."
Lu Zhaoling raised his head slightly, looking quite proud.
Dong Fangshu on the side also nodded secretly, thinking that Lu Zhaoling was quite reliable this time, and he really pinched the opponent's seven inches in one go.
"What can't be done? Don't use ordinary people's eyes to understand the world of genius. The reason why I ask you is not that I think the question is difficult. On the contrary, I think the question is too simple and not challenging."
Jiang Fan shrugged and while speaking, he turned to look at Lin Wanqing.
"You...why are you looking at me..."
Lin Wanqing's pretty face turned slightly red and her eyes were a little evasive as she said.
Jiang Fan was the focus of everyone's attention at this time, so his every move was watched by everyone.
Such sudden gaze on Lin Wanqing caused everyone in the room to focus on Lin Wanqing.
Lin Wanqing was obviously not used to being in the spotlight, and was at a loss for a while.
"Because you are beautiful."
Jiang Fan said matter-of-factly.
Lin Wanqing stiffened, and her heartbeat suddenly accelerated.
Everyone around them opened their mouths in unison, and were astonished to Jiang Fan for a moment.
But then, before these people had time to express their feelings, Jiang Fan looked at Lin Wanqing and said loudly: "The clouds are like clothes and flowers are like faces, and the spring breeze is blowing on the threshold, and the dew is rich. If we hadn't met at the top of Qunyu Mountain, I would have gone to Yaotai...
We meet under the moon!”
hiss!
Several old masters gasped almost simultaneously.
The mouths of the onlookers, who were already wide open, could no longer be closed, and a few people even showed signs of dislocated jaws.
Lin Wanqing was a little confused. Apparently she didn't understand the meaning of this poem, but she just found it quite pleasant. I guess it should be... pretty good, right?
"Good! Use clouds to compare clothes, flowers to look like, flowers are moistened by the spring breeze, and they are so delicate and charming. They also use fairies to compare this girl. At the same time, they also use Guanghan Fairy to compare this girl. Repeated comparisons create a beautiful and charming image.
The image of a beautiful woman like a flower.”
"Unfortunately, the whole poem only uses plain words such as clouds, flowers, dew, jade mountains, Yaotai, moonlight and other plain words. There is no trace of praise! The imagination is clever and easy to pick up without any trace of artificiality. The language in the poem is rich and colorful, and every word is
Liupa. It makes people feel like the spring breeze fills the paper, the eyes are filled with flowers, and the human face is blurred!"
"It is truly a masterpiece of poetry! It leaves a fragrance in your lips and teeth when you read it, and you will have endless aftertaste when you hear it! Someone can actually write such a poem. It is no exaggeration to say that he is the most talented poet in the Zhou Dynasty!"
The master who liked to appreciate poetry the most suddenly burst out in admiration.
The other old masters also stroked their beards and nodded, expressing strong agreement with this evaluation of "the most talented poet in Zhou Dynasty".
boom!
The crowd watching instantly went crazy.
The most talented poet in the Great Zhou Dynasty! Doesn’t that mean he can be called the most talented poet in the Great Zhou Dynasty?!
They gathered here originally just to watch the fun, but they actually witnessed the birth of the most talented person in the Great Zhou Dynasty?!
Why does this sound a bit... dreamy?!
Compared to the sudden excitement of others, Lin Wanqing was unusually quiet.
With the master's detailed appreciation, Lin Wanqing naturally knew the meaning of the poem, so at this moment, Lin Wanqing was in a state of confusion.
Jiang Fan didn't notice the change in Lin Wanqing's mood. As the surroundings exploded, Jiang Fan happily raised his hands to the surroundings.
Then he walked straight to Lu Zhaoling, who had a dull look on his face, stretched out his hand towards Lu Zhaoling, and said with a smile: "Master Lu, please pay me according to the agreement just now."
"Money? What money?"
Lu Zhaoling was still in a state of shock and could not react for a while.
"What? Mr. Lu, do you want to default on your debt? Of course, it is the bet of one hundred coins as agreed before. Everyone present is a witness. If you really want to default on your debt, they will not agree to it."
Jiang Fan raised his eyebrows and raised his voice.
"That's right! Don't even think about defaulting on your debt, we will prove it!"
"Yes! If you dare to default on your debt, we will all go to the Lu family in the south of the city to see if the Lu family is willing to throw this person away!"
There was an outpouring of support all around.
Lu Zhaoling couldn't help but shudder. He had really planned to default on his debt, but it was immediately wiped out.
He didn't know whether he wanted to lose this person, but he definitely didn't want to.
Gritting his teeth, he could only take out ten ten-guan denomination notes from his arms, and handed them to Jiang Fan with blood dripping from his heart.
Then, not wanting to stay any longer, he turned around and hurriedly entered Fujiang Garden.
Dong Fangshu behaved more appropriately, at least he took the initiative to nod towards Lin Wanqing.
However, when he found that Lin Wanqing was distracted and didn't notice him at all, Dong Fangshu couldn't help but feel a little discouraged, and turned around and quickly chased after Lu Zhaoling.
