Chapter 4 Xu Zhimo

Everyone has come into contact with Xu Zhimo from the textbooks, and the teacher said he is a great talent. "Farewell to Cambridge" must be recited.I hate things that I recite. The criterion for judging whether something is good or not is very simple. If the Chinese teacher or Chinese textbook specifies that it needs to be memorized, it is definitely not a good thing. Most modern people know Xu Zhimo not because of his poems, but because of the TV series "April Day on Earth".Because Huang Lei's nose is as big as Xu Zhimo's, playing Xu Zhimo is quite a thing. Later, Huang also sang "I don't know which direction the wind is blowing" affectionately.My friend said, the title of this song is so long, it is not easy to publicize it, why not call it "I Don't Know the Wind Direction"?I said, you are stupid, that is a poem by Xu Zhimo.

In addition to Xu Zhimo's "Farewell to Cambridge" and the rather poor first version of Cambridge, you may still remember "Snowflake's Happiness" because I always read it aloud in "April Day in the World", "Fly, fly, fly".Xu's prose is basically a continuation of his love letters, so it is not good.If he wants to praise Yilu, he just writes the stove as Lin Huiyin; similarly, if he wants to write that the stove is not good, he writes the stove as Zhang Youyi. Basically, Xu's brushwork is a love letter to everything.So his prose is very wordy.

Xu was not like this before, and studying abroad in 1921 brought him into contact with Western poetry.I didn't contact the West for a long time, and returned to China in 1922.Two years is the period of passionate love, so if Xu stays in the West for twenty years, I am afraid he will not feel it.Xu, who came back with some small things from the West, couldn't stand China at that time, but basically did nothing, and resorted to the poetry genre imitated in the West, and began to write poems beautifully, known as "China's Shelley ".The point is, does China have Shelley?China is China, Shelley is Shelley, and China only has pickled cabbage.Xu's poems are actually much better than modern poets' poems, because he wants to be beautiful, but the current world can't be beautiful. The combination of the two forms a unique style.Moreover, Xu's poems actually still retain the influence of old poems, whether it is rhyme, repetition of key sentences, or alignment of format, they have not gone too far.Basically, living things can understand it, which is one of the reasons why new poems were popular at that time.If Xu lived to this day and saw the current new poems, he would definitely feel that the means of transportation he chose to go to Beiping was correct.

I believe that most people have not read Xu's other works except "Wave your hand and don't take away a piece of cloud", so people follow suit and say that he is a great talent.It's true that Xu is talented, and he really can't be called a great talent, especially in the era of great writers, Xu's little talent and the things he brought back from a few days of travel in Europe are really nothing, but picking up girls is fine.For men, picking up girls is just a talent, not a talent. These are my impressions after reading his works again recently after reading them in high school.Just because his surname is Xu, I can't make an exception.But there is one person who is hidden in this matter, gets the light, and is even more seriously overestimated. She is Lin Huiyin.Her greatest contribution is to give the TV series "April in the World" a nice but incomprehensible name.As for her being a talented woman of the generation, I didn't even see it.Her talent is to turn those little tricks and three-legged cat kung fu into the affirmation of her later generations.She is snobby and realistic.I don't like such women.Xu divorced her original partner according to her wishes, but she ended up marrying Liang Qichao's son.Li Jiaxin vowed to marry a wealthy family, and everyone expressed contempt. If I had known, Li Jiaxin would learn to write short poems. Anyway, writing poems is so easy.Lin Huiyin was still an "architect". She relied on Xu Zhimo for her small poems and essays, and Liang Sicheng for her small achievements in architecture. In addition, it was relatively easy to get started with any studies at that time, "Husband, husband, I love you, follow You become a talented woman", which is relatively simple.Not to mention her poetry and prose.Xu Zhimo's imitation of Western poetry has already gone out of shape, and she imitates "Chinese pickled vegetables", which is what we say today, she is "Sydney", so it is naturally conceivable.Aren't men and women equal? ​​We can't lower the standard just because she is a woman. If she is written correctly, she is called a talented woman.

In that era, a woman's lack of talent was virtue.But it can't always be that a woman is talented if she has no virtue. People are all dead, and if they stay, they don't know if they are true or not. God knows what happened to those five or six of them back then.That is to say, in the past, these extramarital affairs, marrying a wealthy family, throwing away his wife and son, and being thrown away, grievances between big names, and love affairs can become a good story. Today, this will definitely be scolded to death by the more vulgar world-hype , this is the hype of Lu Xiaoman's agency, Lu Xiaoman, who is known as Jolin Tsai's successor, in order to promote the newcomer!Xu Zhimo is about to publish a collection of poems, and he and Lin Huiyin were secretly photographed!But readers suspect that Xu's publishing house arranged for someone to shoot it!Hype... how boring it is!

Let them stay in those days.They are all just small talents in the era when many characters came out. "Talk is poetry, action is poetry, life's deeds are poetry, the meaning of poetry permeates, and there is a paradise for whatever happens; you can die in a boat, you can die in a car, you can die in a small room, you can die in a plane, and you don't have to. considered daunting."
