Chapter 23 Guo Fu has written poems, why are you so rude?

A peasant poetess wrote "Crossing half of China to sleep with you", as a result, the lesser half of China boiled.Poetry lovers from all walks of life, like hungry and red-eyed animals, come out of various caves: Hold her down, hold her down quickly, and finally a poet will come out, not easy... "Poetry is dead" seems to be the eternal fear and pain of Chinese people, and we have to worry about it every once in a while. "Daya has not done it for a long time, and who will tell me if I am bad?" Li Bai's original questioning has been repeated for thousands of years by generations.

Back to my main business to read Jin Yong.The rivers and lakes in martial arts novels are a brutal world where force is king.In that jungle-like arena, "poets" are the most powerless group.Everyone who appeared as a "poet" was weak. They are either just gags that make you read the book three times and you may not remember it, such as Gou Du from Li; professor. However, even in that rough arena, there are still some lovely warriors who silently like poetry. Such as "Quanzhen Seven Sons".They are not very popular, and their words and deeds are not very good for readers.But I kind of like them, because they not only practice martial arts, but also a poetry interest group, and almost everyone likes to write some poetry.

Among them, Qiu Chuji, Ma Yu, and Wang Chuyi were the most intellectuals, not to mention reciting poems and composing Fu at every turn; even Tan Chuduan, who was the thickest and least like a poet among the seven, was the most intelligent person before he became a monk. Even a blacksmith from Shandong was nurtured in the collective and became a poet. Later, when he was attacked and wounded and was about to die, he chose to use poetry to end his life: "Tan Chuduan slowly opened his eyes, and said in a low voice: 'I'm going.'... He chanted: 'Holding the Lingzhu in his hand, he always works hard to write, his heart is open to the music of nature, and he does not play the flute.' He closed his eyes and passed away." I think he is a real poet.

What impresses me even more is that whenever the "Quanzhen Seven Sons" use the strongest attack group "Tiangang Beidou Formation", each person will first recite a seven-character poem, and then enter the battle position one by one, just like "The Warrior Samson" Majestic drama. I made some poems to add to the fun when setting up the battle formation, and later the Japanese were more interested in this kind of thing.During the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor, the main fleet of six aircraft carriers sailed into the North Pacific Ocean. At that moment, the wireless was silent, the sky and sea were silent, and the turbid waves were surging. The only signal was a Chinese poem played by NHK radio:

It sounds awesome, but I think this set is completely learned from the Quanzhen Qizi, and it is a blatant plagiarism.After Japan was defeated in World War II, the Japanese samurai were even less creative. Whenever they entered the combat state, they would only shout "arm up" or "put on the holy clothes", and chanted long before the battle with Qiu Chuji and Ma Yu Compared with the literary style of "the cloud is in the West Lake and the moon is in the sky", it is so vulgar that it is difficult to look directly at it. In the rivers and lakes, there are still many rough people whose cultural level is far inferior to the "Quanzhen Seven Sons", and they also quietly fell in love with poetry.

For example, Guo Jing, who had never read any books since he was a child, spoke the local dialect of Lin'an, and was a herdsman who had nothing to do with poetry.However, in the twenty-eighth chapter, on that night, on the pitch-black Tiezhang Peak, under the light of pine firewood, and nestled by Huang Rong, our savage Guo Jing opened "Wu Mu's Suicide Note" and read Come to Yue Fei's poems. He read from "Little Heavy Mountain" and "Man Jianghong" to "Inscribe Cuiguang Temple", "Gift Zhang Wan", "Inscribe Poyang Longju Temple"... It was the first time in Guo Jing's life that he read a collection of poems seriously, and it was also the first time for him Really feel the power of culture.

The book said: "Guo Jing's literacy is limited, but his heart was aroused with impassioned emotion. Although a few words were mispronounced, he could... read them with a sonorous voice, which was very pleasant." Huang Rong said, "The poems of the great heroes should be read by the little heroes." This is certainly a joke, but the poetic spirit of the great hero Yue Fei really illuminated the heart of the little hero Guo Jing.I believe that from that moment on, Guo Jing really fell in love with poetry. So, many years later, we saw the inheritance of poetry——Guo Jing took his nephew Yang Guo, a philistine and not fond of literature, to prancing horses under the city of Xiangyang.He didn't teach Yang Guo martial arts, but recited Du Fu's poems to Yang Guo.

In that chaotic world full of war and smoke, even the eighteen palms that were as powerful as subduing the dragon could not survive. At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, there were only twelve palms left, and they were all lost in the end.But the song "Tongguan Officials" that Guo Jing recited at that time traveled through time like an arrow and has been passed down to this day. Our era is very similar to Guo Jing's Jiang Hu, where poets have a very poor sense of existence, and people are ashamed to be poets. I remember that when various BBS were still very popular, I did something that I still feel guilty about: Once I posted a post about the history of Nanjing City, and a buddy excitedly left a message: "Nanjing City was called Jinling in ancient times... ..." and then posted the famous song "Jinling night is cool and windy, I climb a tall building alone to look at Wuyue".

I replied very unkindly: "You have brought out all the literary youths." The buddy was immediately furious: "Damn, you are the literary youths!" Then he deleted the post and left in a rage.I regret this to this day, and I apologize to him. However, although some people are ashamed of being a poet on the surface, and feel that the degree of disgrace is second only to the garbage editor who plagiarized Liushen Leilei's manuscript and did not sign it, they have actually been secretly fond of poetry. In the backstage of my WeChat official account, readers’ signatures are randomly picked up, all of them are full of poetic and picturesque, such as "no love for the past, no welcome for the future", "but to make people in the world healthy, why not use medicine to make dust" "mortal world" "A lost little book boy" "All the glory belongs to you", literature and art are to die for.

Those with a higher degree of similarity, such as "life has poetry and distance", or even "heart like a tiger sniffing a rose", although the collision coefficient is high, but the pursuit is beautiful. Poetry is nothing but embellished emotions.As long as people today can still feel the anger of Qiu Chuji and the generosity of Guo Jing, poetry will always exist.The older generation sang "Love what I love, no complaints and no regrets", the younger sang "You never really left, you are always in my heart", and the younger sang "It rains heavily, and the vegetation in the old hometown is deep", When they sang, it was the power of poetry that moved them into convulsions.

In fact, in Jin Yong's novels, even the most uneducated and vulgar people will become poets in a second as long as their emotions are in place. Let me give two examples, a man and a woman.Women like Guo Fu are uneducated and rude enough, right?But at the end of the book, when she and Yang Guo fought side by side in Xiangyang, what she was thinking in her heart was copied from the original book without changing a word, which is a poem-"Jealousy": Still not convinced?Let me give another example of a man—Wanyan Aguda in the movie is uneducated enough, right?They are a Jurchen, a semi-primitive tribe, who don't even have writing, so they are really uneducated. But at the end of the book, when Wanyan Aguda and Xiao Feng parted with tears, what he said was reproduced without changing a single word, and it became a tear-jerking poem-"Drinking": Look, even Guo Fu and Wanyan Aguda have written poems, why are you so rude?
