Not only Gu Chiyu, but all the teachers and students in the lecture hall were murmured the poem that Su Changan had just recited.
"The scenery is wonderful, and it is really a good piece of writing."
"The four words are exquisite, and the writing is full of passion and song, which is really amazing!"
"So that's the explanation. I actually thought it was about the scene of thousands of pear trees blooming after the late winter snow."
"It's a bit strange. Although it's very refreshing to see thousands of pear trees blossoming as if a spring breeze came overnight, I always feel like this poem is just beginning?"
……
Inside the lecture hall, everyone explained and praised Su Changan's four lines of poetry, and some even closed their eyes to imagine the beautiful scenery.
But some teachers and students with outstanding literary talent have discovered the problem.
Because, these four sentences are considered poetry, but it feels like they are just describing the scenery, and it feels like something is missing.
A student stood up and looked at Su Changan: "May I ask, Mr. Changan, are there only these four lines or is there a whole poem?"
Su Changan was helpless for a moment, but after thinking about it, he decided to just recite it, so he said, "There is a full poem, but the poem is based on my fantasy of sending a friend off, so many parts may not flow smoothly, please don't make fun of me."
After saying this, Su Changan recalled the entire poem and spoke softly: "The north wind blows the white grass to the ground, and snow falls in the Hu sky in August. Suddenly, as if overnight, spring breeze comes, and thousands of pear trees bloom. The flowers scatter into the pearl curtains and wet the silk curtains. The fox fur is not warm and the brocade quilt is thin. The general cannot control the horn bow, and the protector general's iron armor is cold and difficult to wear. The vast sea is covered with hundreds of feet of ice, and the gloomy clouds are condensed for thousands of miles. The central army sets up wine to entertain the returning guests, with Huqin, Pipa and Qiang flute. The evening snow falls on the camp gate, and the wind blows the red flags, which are frozen but cannot be blown away. I see you off at the east gate of Luntai, and the snow covers the Tianshan Road when you leave. I can't see you as the road winds around the mountains, and only the horse's footprints are left on the snow."
诵完
Everyone in the lecture hall was stunned.
There was a brief silence in the lecture hall.
Then Mu Xu slapped the table and smiled as he looked at Su Changan and said, "Miss Changan's poetry is really speechless. It can only be described as indescribable!"
A student stood up, bowed, and said, "Please explain it to me, sir."
Mu Xu glanced at some students and then looked at Master Yao with a smile.
Old Master Yao stood up, thought for a moment and said, "The poem is divided into three parts. The first eight lines are the first part, which is what you just heard, "Suddenly, as if overnight, a spring breeze came, and thousands of pear trees blossomed." It describes the snowy scene when waking up in the morning. It is a beautiful scene! The earth is covered in silver and looks brand new, but then it goes on to describe the severe cold after the snow. It was severe cold on a snowy day, but even though the animal horn bows were frozen and couldn't be pulled open, and the armor was too cold to wear, the soldiers were still training without complaint. The cold contrasted with the warmth in the soldiers' hearts, and it also showed the soldiers' optimistic fighting spirit."
"The second part describes the majestic snow scene during the day. In this snowy world where "the vast sea is covered with ice and the gloomy clouds are condensed for thousands of miles", the soldiers set up a banquet, sang and danced, and drank heartily. The enthusiasm of the soldiers in the first part is fully poured out here."
"The third part is about seeing off a friend on his way home. The evening snow falls on the camp gate, but the wind blows and the red flags do not flutter in the cold. The movement and stillness, the white and the red, complement each other, making the picture vivid and colorful. In the end, the road winds around the mountain and you are nowhere to be seen, but only the horse's footprints remain on the snow. Every word is vivid, implicit and meaningful, and it also expresses the sincere feelings of the soldiers when they bid farewell to their comrades and friends."
"The whole poem is broad-minded and well-structured, with the beautiful and ever-changing snow scene as the main background, and the scene is transformed into emotion. Although it lacks the magnificent lyrical description, it is generous, tragic and vigorous. The six sentences of "suddenly" are full of extraordinary talent, spirit and emotion, which makes people feel happy. The sentence of "vast sea" is a breath of fresh air, and the next sentence is "returning guests." "
After saying this
Master Yao looked at Su Changan and said, "Just by imagining the scene, you can describe such a wonderful scene and express such melancholy. Your poetry attainments have reached a new level."
Su Changan scratched his head embarrassedly.
but
Everyone in the lecture hall was shocked. At first, after hearing Su Chang'an's recitation, they felt that the melody of this poem was accurate and vivid, the description of the scenery was even more beautiful, and the description of the emotions was also quite powerful. After hearing the annotations from Master Yao, everyone gasped and looked at Su Chang'an.
I just think this frontier poem is extraordinary!
Especially when the whole article stops and suddenly a spring breeze comes, and thousands of pear trees bloom, it is so wonderful!
Not to mention that the snow scene keeps changing in the poem.
And the mood of the soldiers changed along with the snow scene.
How can you write about it if you haven’t seen it with your own eyes or experienced it yourself!
But Su Changan said that he wrote this poem just by imagining the scenery.
Some even find it unbelievable.
Can such poetic sentiments and artistic conception, worthy of being passed down through the ages, be written by imagination alone?
If I could really write it, it would be so amazing!!
So many people looked at Su Changan in shock at that moment.
Because, as far as they knew, Su Changan had never been to the border, let alone a soldier, and that was really just based on imagination.
Therefore, when everyone looked at Su Changan again, admiration was clearly visible in their eyes.
But
Suddenly someone remembered that every beautiful sentence in the "Snow Chapter" was a poem, and according to Xun Siye, all those poems were complete poems written by Mr. Chang'an.
Immediately!
Another student stood up, looked at Su Changan, bowed, and said, "Mr. Changan, please enlighten me about the green ant new wine."
Then someone else immediately stood up and said, "Miss Chang'an, please help me solve my problem of fishing alone in the cold river in the snow."
Then, one after another, they could no longer bear it and stood up.
"Please help Miss Chang'an. The white flowers are falling all over the ground."
"Please Miss Chang'an, please help me solve the mystery of yin and yang at the end of the year."
……
They stood up one by one and looked at Su Changan expectantly.
Su Changan pursed his lips and sighed helplessly, thinking that although he had forgotten who had sent him food, no matter what their purpose was, they all had good intentions.
So after thinking for a while, he said, "Come one by one."
Hear the words.
Everyone in the lecture hall was immediately delighted.
Especially for the students in Beijing, these poems were what they had longed for in the past!
Immediately!
Many people hurriedly took paper and pen, waiting for Su Changan to start reciting.
Chapter 133 Isn’t This My Wife!
What happened in the Imperial College has not been reported for a long time.
The news just came out was about the previous debate between "Taoism" and "Confucianism".
Before that, it was about Mr. Zhou and Mr. He discussing academic matters, and also about Su Changan having to eat a lot of food due to his illness.
After that, no news came out.
The people outside were so anxious.
I can't wait to climb over the wall.
But if you climb over the wall of the Imperial College today, you will be in prison tomorrow.
So everyone was looking at the door, hoping that the servant who brought the message would come out quickly.
But ever since the servant went back, three incense sticks of time have passed, and he still hasn't come out.
How could everyone not be anxious when they were already curious about what was going on inside?
They are those students who listened to Mr. Zhou, Mr. He, and the "Dispute between Taoism and Confucianism" and discussed their academic studies privately with their classmates and friends.
At this moment, they stopped talking and just frowned at the quiet door.
"Brother Chen, do you think something might have happened?" said a scholar at the table with acne marks on his face.
A person at the same table smiled and asked back: "Brother Lin, if there was nothing going on, why wouldn't you come out now?"
The man called Brother Lin was slightly startled and felt a little embarrassed.
Another person at the same table frowned and said, "Could something have happened to Miss Chang'an? Didn't they just say that Miss Chang'an was eating because she was feeling unwell again? That's why so many people came out to buy things."
But just as this person finished speaking.
The woman at the table immediately turned around and frowned, saying, "You have no evidence, and you are just saying these taboo words. Are you thinking that Mr. Chang'an is sick?"
The man sitting at the same table with the woman also frowned and said, "Many people came out to buy things for Mr. Chang'an because they wanted him to recover from his illness. But you are talking nonsense here. Besides, Mr. Chang'an is not a person of high status. If you keep talking nonsense like this, I will send you to Jingzhao Prefecture and let you have a beating."
After hearing this, the three of them were stunned for a moment, then quickly stood up and apologized.
The two women glared at the three men and didn't say anything. They just looked towards the gate of the Imperial College, worriedly hoping that Su Changan was okay.
The three of them looked at each other helplessly, but Brother Lin pointed at the man who mentioned Su Changan, and that man naturally patted his lips lightly to express his apology.
There were many people like these two women who were as worried as they were at the stalls of all sizes in front of the Imperial College, both men and women, and they all thought that since it had been so long and they hadn't come out yet, something might have really happened to Miss Chang'an.
It's not that they were thinking nonsense like that. It's just that what the students who just came out to buy things said was too scary, and they were all different. But the most serious one said that Miss Chang'an coughed up blood, had already taken medicine, and needed to eat something to suppress the medicine.
This made the people who admired Su Changan at the door worried.
In addition, the servant just mentioned the "Confucian-Taoist debate" and nothing else, and asked about Miss Chang'an's health without saying much, so no one knew what was going on.
But now there is no news
If the masters were discussing academic matters, the servant boy would certainly come out quickly to explain what was going on and what academic matters they were discussing.
But there has been no movement for such a long time, so it is obvious that something big has happened inside, which has caused the servant boy to not come out.
So it is inevitable that I can't help but have wild thoughts and think of Su Changan.
At a noodle stall at the very edge of the Imperial College, Xia Zhixu, Meng Shaoan and Mr. Fang were sitting at a table.
Xia Zhixu eavesdropped on the people at the next table talking about his 'sister-in-law' Su Changan. He sighed, looked at Meng Shaoan and Mr. Fang and said, "You know, it would be great if so many people talked about me and all they said was how great I am."
Meng Shaoan did not participate in the winter exam because he was recommended. Therefore, although he was talented, he was not invited, so he was not included. When he heard what the prince said, Meng Shaoan thought for a while and said, "After the prince returns in a few days, if he can appease the people of Yan and help reclaim wasteland, I think many people in Yan will say the same thing."
Xia Zhixu chuckled when he heard this: "Old Meng, it's really comforting to hear what you said, but when we go to Yandi in a while, remember not to say such things to the outside world."
Meng Shaoan was stunned, but after thinking about it, he thought that Xia Zhixu was just being low-key, so he bowed.
Mr. Fang looked at Meng Shaoan with a wry smile, and he realized that Meng Shaoan didn't understand the meaning of Xia Zhixu's words at all, but he shook his head and looked towards the entrance of the Imperial College.
Xia Zhixu looked at Mr. Fang and asked, "Mr. Fang, are you really not going to accept my father's offer?"
Fang Wenhe and Mr. Fang nodded: "I have thought about it for a long time. After all, I am used to being idle. And I am used to living in the capital. I am afraid that I will not be able to adapt to Yandi."
Xia Zhixu came up to Fang Wenhe and said with a smile: "How about you follow me? You don't agree to my father, it's nothing more than my father is a reckless man, you look down on him, I can see this, but I'm different, look at how smart I am, and I trust you so much, consider it?"
Fang Wenhe smiled and shook his head: "Your Highness, I am grateful for your favor, but as I said, I am used to being idle."
