Sikong Biaosheng's "Poetry? Connotation" says ①: "If you don't write a word, you will be full of flair." Those who "do not write" don't write much, and don't write more.Having written all the characters, and then "not writing a word", using acquiescence to speak, the opposite complements each other, how can it be "not talking dumb Zen". Mallarme and Claudel commented on poetry ②, saying that the lines between the lines, the blank space without words on the edge of the first leaf, and the grouping of words, which contain meaning without expressing it, are also the main style of poetry.In the ancient landscape paintings of our country, the parts without brush and ink and the parts with dots and dyes are used to complement each other. It is not a "scripture without words" or a white paper with round light.Po'eshanren's "Night Sailing Boat" volume eight satirizes the famous stereotyped prose teacher "Wu Wu Sheng" ④, passed on the "all white and true Wu" prose formula, and achieved the high level of "not leaving a word"; Words, full of romance" ⑤, and Wusheng's "leaving no word, all white and nothing", is a thousand miles away.Lu Nongshi's "Pi Ya" volume 13 "Yang" discusses the songs of "Zhe Yang" and "Huang Hua" ⑥: ""Ji" said: "The harp of the Qing Temple, Zhu Xian and Shuyue, one song and three songs Sigh ⑦, there are those who have leftover sounds.’ If this is the case, the poetry is perfect. "The Doctrine of the Mean" says ⑧: "The records in the sky are silent and odorless.' It’s the end." Husband’s "Yue Ji" said that "there are leftover sounds" , "The Doctrine of the Mean" originally said "silent"; the poems discussed by farmers and teachers are mixed with "implicative" and "complete white".Yi Shun Ding Shifu's "Ding Wujian Xingjuan" has a nine-character style poem, "Boyan and Mao Shijun, Liao Shengkai, and Zheng Yansun Youheng came out, and returned in the rain. None of the four had any poems, and they explained the ridicule on their behalf"9: "There are so many strange sentences in the strange scene in front of you. The four of them shook their heads if they didn't answer. They must believe in Sikong Biaosheng's words, and they can be called romantic if they don't use a single word." There is no need to judge the meaning of the text as a play. Gu Yizheng Yishi The misunderstanding of Sikong Biaosheng said.Otherwise, the word "Xin" is easily changed to the word "Jie", and it is impossible to mock the "four people" at the beginning. (Pages 414-415) ① "Poetry": written by Tang Sikong Tu (Zi Biao Sheng), one volume.Divided into twenty-four poems, "Implicit" is one of them.

② Mallarme: French poet in the nineteenth century.Claudel: French diplomat and writer in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. ③White paper with round light: The round light is the round light emitted from above the heads of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. Here it refers to a kind of mysterious spell. ④ Po'eshanren: A native of the Qing Dynasty, who wrote eight volumes of "Night Sailing Boat", without signing his name.Volume 8 "Wu Wu Sheng": "The famous man in Fujian Province, whose full surname is Bai, has gone up and down through the ages, and it is empty in one fell swoop. I don’t have a single word for humanities, and I don’t want to leave a word for others. People call it Wuwusheng. I knew the word “Wu” right after I was born, which is only one word less than Bai Juyi, so I called myself half Xiangshan people." "Reading since childhood... tastes like chewing wax, it is better not to read. It is better than holding a pipe for writing, and it is limited to masters... In the end, I didn't see a word. The argument is: Heaven is precious, land is precious, and the sun and the moon are precious. Nothing, carried in the sky, is silent and odorless... What I call "nothing" was originally created to the point of nothingness....Thus, those who wandered through the door learned the method of being completely white and nothing. … The couplets hanging in the living room are purely mounted on white paper as empty paragraphs, without any pen and ink. When asked why, he said: "There are benefits to be found in the world, and there is no benefit to be found in the pen and ink alone. There is no benefit. Those who are in front of me are called tumors'... Da Liao admired his name, and tried to enclose it in a postcard. From the Chenpai to the exhaustion, there was not a single word, and he presented it in white. The Da Liao sighed and said: "There is no one. Words, do your best. ".

⑤The owner of Xiuxiu Pavilion: Tang Sikongtu, who got this name because of the Xiuxiu Pavilion built in the hermitage. ⑥ "Pi Ya": written by Song Lu Dian (word Nongshi), twenty volumes. "Folding Willows": that is, folding willows, Yuefu Song Ci. "Huanghua": that is, "Huanghuangzhehua", the title of "The Book of Songs? Xiaoya".This refers to the song of farewell and praise. ⑦ "Ji": Refers to "Book of Rites? Music Book".One song and three sighs: words are chanted repeatedly. ⑧ "The Doctrine of the Mean": An article in "Book of Rites", Song Zhuxi extracted it, and combined it with "University", "Mencius" into four books.

⑨Yi Shunding: A writer in the late Qing Dynasty, who wrote "Ding Wu Jian Xing Juan", ten volumes.Bo Yan, Chen Sanli, poets of Tongguang style. Poetry is the art of language, and a good poem often contains meaning beyond words.Here it is pointed out that Sikong Tu's "don't say a word, be romantic" means not saying a word, but not much.It's like using images to express affection, only talking about images, not using words to express affection.Just like the blank space in the picture and the pause in the music, it has a special meaning.Mallarme and Claudel discussed poetry, and regarded the spaces between the lines and the top, bottom, left, and right sides of the poems as components that can help the poetry to produce aesthetic feeling, just like Chinese landscape paintings, which usually do not fill the screen. And leave a place without pen and ink, or stamp it with a seal, so that it can set off with the place with pen and ink, and form an interesting contrast, leaving more room for imagination for the viewer.The same goes for poetry."Dengyouzhou Taiwan Song" by Chen Ziang in the early Tang Dynasty:

The ancients are not seen before, and those who come after are not seen.Thinking of the long distance between the world and the earth, I am sad and tearful alone. It only used 22 words, two sentences of five words, and two sentences of Sao style, but it expressed the poet's infinite emotion for the whole world and life, his grief and indignation for being excluded and beaten, and his sympathy for those who were hit by the same in the world. Weeping, this kind of content is not mentioned in the poem, but it is so romantic. The "Book of Rites? Book of Music" said "one sings three sighs, and those who have lost their voices" is another manifestation of "not knowing a single word".

That is to chant over and over again, there is a sound beyond the words.As for the unspoken sounds, there is no mention of a word, and there is no word. The so-called "leftover sound" means that it can give people room for aftertaste.For example, "Running and Repeating": Walk again and again, and part with the king.They are separated by more than ten thousand miles, and each is at the end of the world.The road is obstructed and long, so we can know when we meet? Huma follows the north wind, and the more birds nest in the south branch.The day is far away, and the day of clothes has slowed down.Floating clouds cover the day, and the wanderer ignores it.Sijun makes people old, and the years are suddenly too late.Don't give up donations, don't go back, try to add meals.

This is a poem about farewell and lovesickness that is as clear as words, elegant and beautiful. The sixteen sentences in the whole poem repeatedly talk about the pain of lovesickness and parting. What exactly does "cover the sun" mean?Why does it cause "wanderers regardless of opposition"?Not mentioning a single word means that there is a leftover sound, and it is also "not a single word". Reading it makes people sad and cannot be calmed down for a long time.The generation of such artistic power has a lot to do with the poem's writing method of singing three sighs, repeating chants, gradually deepening emotions, and the profound and meaningful artistic style.

At the end of this story, Sikong Tu's "doesn't say a word, but is romantic" was misunderstood and ridiculed by Yi Shunding, because he used the word "misbelief", which is obviously meaningless. From the literal meaning of these eight characters Go up to understand, think "do not understand a word" It doesn't say a single word, but it's like the "All White and True Wu" formula taught by the famous stereotyped essayist Wu Wusheng, it really doesn't leave a single word.If it were changed to "misunderstanding", it would be correct.Apparently, Sikong Tu's "not showing" does not mean "not staying", but an artistic technique.
