Reflections after reading "Chinese Poetry Conference (Second Season)" (V): Going to a Feast of Poetry

Author: Chinese Poetry Conference Column Group Publisher: Published by Beijing United Publishing Company Year: 2017-7

I have never been so addicted to watching various poetry appreciations as watching poetry conferences. This is a spiritual feast for the whole people. During the Spring Festival, starting from the second day of the Lunar New Year, the second season of the Chinese Poetry Conference produced by CCTV Science and Education Channel appeared on CCTV screens. It is broadcast during prime time for ten consecutive days, leading the audience to appreciate the charm of Chinese culture and feel the unique charm of poetry. The program is rooted in traditional culture and continues to expand on the basis of the first episode. It is novel in form and elegant in style. It is a beautiful picture of the Chinese nation. , triggered a nationwide craze for watching, and quickly became popular on both big and small screens. We have more topics, such as poetry conferences, flying flower orders, and groups of 100 people, which are known as Spring Festival customs. In addition to the visible tradition, the more important contribution of poetry is the imagination of still water flowing deep, flying against the wind and flying without hindrance.

In this most important and happiest moment, the whole family and people across the country, because of Chinese poetry, sit together to feel family, friendship and love, share comfort, beauty and poetry, and achieve growth, life and life. In just a few days, I have gained countless fans, including a 70-year-old man, a ten-year-old boy, a Middle Eastern uncle, and an African boy. There are law enforcement policemen, market security guards, rural teachers, full-time mothers; there are science and engineering girls, literary and artistic youths, farmer uncles, IT experts... They come from all over the world, with different identities and ages, and they all have the same dream: to participate in the Chinese Poetry Conference and The whole society has set off a chorus of poetry, allowing more people to understand Chinese poetry and the glorious history, culture and classics of the Chinese nation! During the poetry competition, the program tells the touching stories of the contestants' relationship with poetry! Many contestants, such as Zhang Chaofan, a one-armed girl with a poetic flair, Bi Kai, who reads ancient poems and essays in his spare time, and Bai Ruyun, an anti-cancer farmer who uses poetry to hone his will, left a deep impression on the audience. It not only reveals the beauty of poetry, but also allows people to see the noble soul influenced by poetry and the spirit of contemporary Chinese people.

This book is compiled based on the text script and competition question bank of "Chinese Poetry Conference" (Season 2). It retains the original essence of the program while enriching some of the content. It is an excellent book. Traditional cultural readings. The selected poems are based on famous textbooks in primary and secondary schools, with accurate topic selection, appropriate scope of propositions, and emphasis on children's traditional Chinese cultural education. The topics range from "The Book of Songs" to Mao Zedong's poems, covering boldness, gracefulness, pastoral, frontier fortress, and chanting things. In various categories such as , chanting feelings, and chanting history, we select classics and famous sentences with "contemporary significance" to highly condense Chinese history, Chinese culture, and Chinese stories. Through familiar poems and famous sentences, we guide the audience to continuously enhance their understanding of China's excellent traditions. To create a sense of cultural identity and belonging, we strive to relate the topics to real life. The topics are lively but not rigid, focusing on outstanding traditional Chinese cultural themes such as loyalty, filial piety, benevolence, and patriotism. Through the competition and appreciation of poetry knowledge, the people are encouraged to review the ancient poetry they have learned, share the beauty of poetry, and feel the fun of poetry.

We can review the scene on the stage from the book, look back at the situation of the contestants, and experience the fun of poetry from the process of doing the questions. The Book of Songs, Songs of Chu, poems of the Han, Wei and Six Dynasties, and poems of the Tang, Song, Ming and Qing dynasties are all included. In particular, Mao Zedong’s poems are included in the question bank, and through his majestic, profound and lofty artistic masterpieces such as "Qilu·Long March", "Qinyuanchun·Snow", "Qingpingle·Liupanshan", inject revolutionary culture into classical poetry , red cultural genes, further sublimating the ideological connotation of the program. The guest experts’ comments were brilliant and incisive, embodying in Chinese poetry the spirit of responsibility for the ups and downs of the world and the responsibility of every man, the patriotism of sacrificing one’s life for righteousness and serving the country with loyalty, the fine character of advocating virtue and doing good, thinking of others when seeing the best, and the spirit of seeking common ground while shelving differences, and being harmonious but different. The way of doing things, the aesthetic pursuit of both form and spirit, and the blending of situations, etc., are explained in an easy-to-understand way. Many of the comments’ golden sentences quickly spread on the Internet and became a highlight of the program.

In particular, the column team invites experts and scholars in the field of poetry to build a poetry question bank, focusing on incorporating knowledge into interest and interpreting the cultural connotations contained in poetry, so as to arouse readers' interest in classical poetry. The invited commentators Wang Liqun, Kang Zhen, Meng Man, and Li Bo are all well-known domestic scholars. They have lectured on important cultural programs such as "Hundred Schools of Lectures". The comments are informative, interesting, and educational.

This is a carnival of live poetry, with tears, sadness, pure joy, and desolate separation. There are countless stories behind the limited words. The beauty of Chinese classical poetry is not only the beauty of words, artistic conception, color, and mood, but also the inspiration of poetry in every soul. Bai Ruyun's poetic meaning is "Standing strong despite being hit hard by thousands of blows, regardless of the wind from east to west, north and south", Wu Yishu's poetic meaning is "the spirit of poetry and calligraphy is in the belly", Chen Geng's poetic meaning is "just a young boy who is a classmate, and is in his prime". Their tenacity and optimism, their innocence and loveliness, and even their impatience and aggressiveness make their poetry passionate, vivid, and powerful. Yes, life has its own poetry.

Poems have warmth. Each generation uses its own way to experience the inheritance. People in the Jin Dynasty gathered at the Orchid Pavilion and drank wine in the meandering water. People in the Tang Dynasty read poems and were full of guests, crowning the capital. Revolutionaries read poetry with utmost sincerity and sincerity, and our method is the Chinese Poetry Conference. Because poetry can fly, it will take you to distant mountains and rivers, it will take you to fly freely to any place in the world, and it will allow you to travel through any era at will. There is no world in poetry! With one door, the world is shut outside, with one word, the world is within your heart. The Chinese Poetry Conference has opened up another path for cultural dissemination and provided a spiritual gathering point for people who have been in the flow of the times for several years. Reading poetry has changed from one person's business to everyone's business. This is the guidance of the platform, and it is also the power of culture, stimulating emotions and entertaining, infiltrating people's hearts and nourishing souls like a clear stream.

Reflections after reading "Chinese Poetry Conference (Season 2)" (6): The last week of 2017:

1. Finished reading "In the Name of a Person";

2. Start collecting video materials from this year’s “The Most Awesome Chinese Commentary Zhan Jun’s Classic Commentary Collection”. Considering that New Year’s Eve in 2017 came very early, New Year’s Eve in 2018 came so late. Therefore, we can start intensive production in late January next year;

3. Continue writing "The Legend of White Snake", and read and publish the written parts on NetEase Cloud before New Year's Day. As I review the series and continue to pay attention to the current situation of the main creators over the past 20 years, I get better and better as I write. This is different from the appreciation of drama series that came out simultaneously with the TV series. In "Bai Suzhen at the foot of Qingcheng Mountain: The New Legend of White Snake", I will use the episodes and lines in the TV series as clues to focus on describing the main characters in the original TV series. In recent times, in 2013 and the 20th anniversary of the broadcast of "The Legend of White Snake", the three goddesses of "Xiao Qing" Chen Meiqi, "White Snake" Zhao Yazhi, and "Xu Xian" Ye Tong reunited at Nanjing Jiangsu Satellite TV. For a 5-year creative career. Choose it (referring to the production of a 20th anniversary commemorative album for "The Legend of White Snake" that shocked the global Chinese-speaking world) as the last thing in 2017. It's like falling in love with the me when I was a kid again. But in reality, there are more and more girls around me——

4. Whether it’s the girl working at the express delivery point in Building 37, Area A, Hengda City, Banan District, Chongqing, or the QQ contact The post-95s generation in the list, the fan girls from all over the country - Yang Mengxue, Zou Yuechen...or... the 'Dessert Girl' from Taipei Dessert in Jiezi Ancient Town (family and friends all know it, so I wrote Book way... Propose to you ), you are all whom I have personally come into contact with. In the last week of 2017, I will still... keep you in my heart -

The selection for "Chinese Poetry Conference" (Season 3) has ended.

The third season will be broadcast during the Spring Festival next year... How many new surprises are there for this CCTV's flagship cultural program that has been successfully held for two seasons in the past two years? The focus on program recording will also be the focus of this week at the end of the year -

Just at home... after this last week. After searching everywhere in Yonghui and New Century Department Stores across the city, 'Jin Tang Fei Niu' and 'Jin Tang Shrimp Balls', two instant noodle brands launched by Master Kong in recent years, Yubei Shin Kong Place, Jiulong Po 'Yujiangzhou', Chongqing The three landmarks of 'Evergrande New Town' on Macao Avenue suddenly appeared in front of us. Although I have been to Shiqiaopu in the past two weeks (on Keyuan 3rd Street, I also discovered a "Huang Jiajia Rice Noodles"), but I lamented the time...it was really hard to compete with the busy traffic at dusk. Among them, human life is really the most fragile... The Fuli Hotel next to Chenjiaping Long-distance Station caught up with the wedding of another couple born in the 90s. The boy and girl were not very good-looking. .

Reflections after reading "Chinese Poetry Conference (Season 2)" (7): Encountering the beauty of poetry again

I rarely watch TV programs, but once in a while I saw "China "Poetry Contest", I was immediately fascinated. That event coincided with Wu Yishu's appearance and the subsequent "Feihua Order" session. When the contestants kept saying poems with the word "moon" in them, the words of Mr. Qian Jibo could not help but come to mind: "I don't know either. Which country has a round moon? I just know that no country has written as many moon poems as China. "Yes, no country has written as many moon poems as China, and no country has written so many beautiful moons." poetry. At that moment, like many others, I was once again impressed by the beauty of Chinese poetry.

I think the reason why so many people love the "Chinese Poetry Conference" and it has become a phenomenon-level spread is because in it, one can feel the emotion and beauty of poetry. The direction of Confucian thought is poetry, so poetry has always been the most respected and favorite literary form of Chinese literati. The nobility, talent, worldliness, seclusion, character and arrogance of Chinese literati are all revealed in poetry, whether in good times or in adversity. , literati all turn emotions into poetry, which is what Confucius said, "Poetry can be exciting, contemplative, communal, and resentful." It should be said that poetry contains the most beautiful sentiments of the Chinese nation, and this sentiment is also integrated into everyone In the blood, in the process of reading and reciting, infinite images will naturally emerge. This is the beauty of Chinese poetry.

Another thing that is commendable is that in the "Chinese Poetry Conference", poetry once again met the times and people, making poetry full of more practical significance. The different experiences and temperaments of each contestant inject unique charm into the poetry. There is the bold and confident Chen Geng, the calm and calm Wu Yishu, the one-armed girl, the old man who repairs bicycles, and the... The workers working on high-voltage electricity and the farmers fighting cancer are not only touching, but also feel the unique spiritual charm of poetry. Su Shi was demoted several times, but he said: "Don't listen to the sound of beating leaves through the forest, why not scream and walk slowly." , Li Bai's official career was not going well, but he "laughed up to the sky and went out. How can we be a Penghao people.", as well as Lu You's "Mountains and rivers are full of doubts and there is no way out, and there is a village with dark willows and flowers." Du Fu's "Will be the top of the mountain" , you can see all the mountains and small ones at a glance.” No matter you are at the peak or at the bottom, you can always find our inner comfort and spiritual strength in poetry.

This "Chinese Poetry Conference" is undoubtedly a wonderful continuation, which reproduces the 100-person group's fight against the "Flying Flower Order", sand painting clues and other environmental circles, and strives to allow every reader to participate Come in, the questions have completely restored the settings in the program, and every reader can answer them, including the "Feihua Order" link, with answers and self-evaluations, and notes on the poems mentioned by each guest. The poetry index attached at the end of the book records in detail the poems and authors selected from the pre-Qin Dynasty to modern times, allowing us to appreciate the editor's painstaking efforts in selecting poems. After experiencing every wonderful moment, we can freeze time. , savor and chew the implication in the poems. This book allows the phenomenal program "Chinese Poetry Conference" to return from the screen to the text on the page, allowing the momentary style to remain in the ink.

Compared with today, where we stare at a smartphone all day long and hurriedly walk between cold concrete buildings, the ancients walked leisurely through the colorful peach trees. Our life experience is naturally completely different. What I have said above is not to belittle how negative society is today. I am just thinking that if it is just like this now, it will be difficult to see the shadow of poetry in life. Then when society develops at a rapid pace in ten, twenty years, or even Sixty years later, will our traditional poetry still exist? This is not unfounded. But should we really throw away these traditions in order to adapt? The answer is of course no. Nowadays, CCTV has successively launched several programs about Chinese traditional culture, which have had a considerable impact and the scope of thinking they have generated is quite broad. Very few people in modern society can have the leisurely state of mind to calm down and read a poem carefully. Day after day, we live a boring life like "Wu Gang conquering Gui", rushing around in the world of mortals. Day after day, life challenges our patience. We cannot stop and walk alone. The laurel tree of life will never fall. No matter how sharp our ax is, it can hardly change even one of its paths. So the monotonous life was covered with a gray film. In such a high-speed society, the broadcast of "Chinese Poetry Conference" is more like a gentle and lingering sunshine in the afternoon. Its popularity dispels the gloomy haze in people's hearts, allowing the sweet rain of "traditional poetry" to It spread all over everyone's hearts again. Looking at the contestants taking the stage one after another in the show, among them there are innocent children who are still childlike, elegant people with elegant demeanor, gentle and affectionate women, and healthy old people with white hair... Among them, they The demeanor of answering questions is also different, some are calm and confident, some are impatient, some sigh with regret, and some are excited and cheering... Although the endings are not the same, the appreciation of poetry and songs is brimming from the faces. In this way, I on the other side of the screen was infected by their enthusiasm without even realizing it. The upper part of this series of books introduces several classic works from the Book of Songs, narrated by some contestants and carefully selected by the program team. The Book of Songs is a classic representative work of Chinese poetry. First of all, many poems in the Book of Songs are beautiful. It's very romantic, the language is beautiful, the pictures are beautiful, and the artistic conception is beautiful. I like the song "Jian Jia" the most. It is by the water, Jian Jia, beautiful scenery, and has the theme of love, pursuing the lover in my heart. It is tactful and repetitive, and it is worth chanting again and again. And the Book of Songs also convinced me of one thing: people living in the natural environment have a kind of spirituality. Each page has different players, different masterpieces, and different perceptions and understandings. The illustrations in the book have far-reaching connotations, and there are detailed annotations next to the poems. Upon closer inspection, the antique atmosphere is hazy. It is close to the eyes but cannot be touched, the hazy longing, the affectionate and elegant feeling of tranquility in the distance, the antique fragrance with a clear and romantic atmosphere, the confusing yet meaningful and clear spirit in the heart. So I feel more and more that our country’s poetry is very beautiful. So how can we preserve these traditional spiritual products? Here I suddenly thought of a point mentioned by Ms. Qu Limin in her interpretation of the Book of Songs: China has been teaching poetry since ancient times, and poetry education is aesthetic education, which is far more important than moral education. Because aesthetic education comes from nature, a flower is a world, a grass is a spirit, and children are happy when they see flowers blooming. This is the sympathy of nature. Moral education comes from nurture. Moral education is a social contract that maintains mutual benefit and is designed to prevent people from being excessively selfish. The reason why we have moral restraints is actually to tell everyone that because we are a social society, people cannot abuse their selfishness. That is to say, in a group society, if everyone wants to live well, they must abide by the rules. Regarding poetry education and aesthetic education, everyone may enter into a misunderstanding, thinking that poetry education means memorizing poems. In fact, poetry education is not about memorizing poems, but about cultivating a poetic heart and poetic eyes. Poor people nowadays like to distinguish things by "useful" and "useless". They don't know that "useful" things trap you in mediocrity, while "useless" poems liberate you from mediocrity - useful knowledge keeps you alive; Poetry makes your life beautiful. No matter what kind of poetry it is, as long as it is beneficial to the spiritual level, it is a good poem.

Sometimes when reading poetry, an emotion arises in my heart that I can't express myself, so I simply don't express it. Anyway, reading and appreciating poetry is always my own business. Read poets, lyricists, great men, philosophers, saints, then ordinary people, then all kinds of things in the world, and finally you can understand half of yourself.

Reflections after reading "Chinese Poetry Conference (Season 2)" (9): Life is full of poetry

When I go out for a walk recently, I can always see the bluestone covered with dots of rice grains. The sweet osmanthus fragrance lingers on the side, and the light and faint aroma just floats into the nose, making people tipsy and enjoyable. I really want to find a suitable word to describe it, but I feel that ancient poetry can express my feelings more appropriately.

"The smell of flowers is astonishing, and the dew is light yellow, and you can smell the fragrance of autumn regardless of their appearance." "Snowflakes are cut in all directions, and the golden millet, bran and grits are exposed."

In fact, on weekdays, There are many such situations, such as the spring that comes suddenly overnight, the crisp autumn sky, and then the sparkling water; the moonlight that fills the courtyard; the sorrow of separation; the beautiful love and friendship...

At this time, you will find the wonderfulness of ancient poetry, because nothing can be better than this. The words are concise and meaningful, and the meaning is far-reaching. If you read a sentence casually, it can touch people's hearts at the right time.

The "Chinese Poetry Conference (Season 2)" that I am reading recently, the upper and lower volumes of the book, have moved the personal pursuit competition, the champion competition, and the flying flower order from the TV show into the book, making it easier to understand poetry. The content is no longer so monotonous and stereotyped, and has a lot more interest. In addition to the perfect appreciation, it also has a fun answering mechanism, which is quite interesting to flip through a few pages at your leisure. And the more I read, the more I feel that life is full of poetry.

Speaking of beautiful scenery, there are "springs that cherish the trickle of water silently, and shades of trees that illuminate the water and love the clearness and softness of the water." "The sky is blue, the fields are vast, and the grass is blown by the wind, and cattle and sheep are seen low." "The sky is low in the wilderness. "The winding path leads to a secluded place, and the flowers and trees are deep in the Zen room." There is no friend in the world, and no one in the world knows you." "I hate to wear gold threads every year to make wedding clothes for others." "Who can ask, if I am old and honest, I can still make a living." "Death first makes the hero burst into tears." "Ten years of life and death are so vast that they are unforgettable without thinking about them."

They are just a few words, but they can express the thought-provoking artistic conception and friendship. A unique realm of ancient poetry.

Moreover, the book "Chinese Poetry Conference" also explains many of our usual misunderstandings and misinterpretations of stereotypes.

Like Bai Juyi's "Recalling the South of the Yangtze River", in which "the sun rises and the river flowers are redder than fire, and the spring comes and the river is as green as blue", we have always understood "blue" as "blue", but in fact, this The "blue" in the poem is a kind of aquatic plant called "Polygonum indica", which is turquoise in color.

There is also the line in "The Book of Songs": "In the past, I left, and the willows lingered. Now I come to think about it, and the rain and snow are falling." We have always thought that this is a romantic scene, but what is the reality? It is just to set off the sadness of those who returned later and "were delayed in traveling and were thirsty and hungry."

Speaking of my interest in ancient poetry, I started to take it seriously again after becoming pregnant. Every time I read poetry, I feel calm. Three months after the baby was born, I read him a poem or fairy tale every day. The little boy always listened attentively and looked at me and smiled. Of course, such a young baby doesn't understand what I'm doing, but the poem has its own rhythm, and it's very beautiful just to read it. Since ancient times, our ancestors have had the habit of singing poems with the music of harp and harp, which is not unreasonable.

There was a hot topic on Zhihu for a while about whether children should memorize poetry. Some people felt that learning poetry was unnecessary and that even if children memorized it, it would be useless. However, they have ignored the fact that after reading a book a hundred times, its meaning will appear by itself, and the poetry and calligraphy in the belly will come naturally. Ancient poetry is such a subtle thing, moistening things silently. If you read it too much, it will naturally take root quietly in your heart. One day when you are really moved by the scene and a poem you have read comes to mind, you will realize how wonderful it is. It's autumn, with autumn rain and cold. I don't go out at home on the weekends. I make a cup of hot tea, take a bite of mooncakes, and read this book. It's quite interesting. Life is full of poetry, and poetry is in the heart.

Reflections after reading "Chinese Poetry Conference (Season 2)" (10): Poetry is my daily leisure time - from poetry to the book "Chinese Poetry Conference"

For me For me, reading poetry and writing poetry are common things and a way of life. When you are free or busy, you can read a collection of poems. Turning through its pages and reading a few poems is a way to pass the time and improve yourself. When you encounter clouds, rain, or the moon, there is a kind of poetry. Feelings surged in my chest, so I couldn't help but write poems.

China is a country of poetry, and the Chinese are a nation of poetry. From the Book of Songs to the Songs of Chu, to poems, lyrics, and songs, poetic culture has never been cut off and has been spreading. Over thousands of years, China’s poetic culture has never changed or changed. China Humans are the most down-to-earth nation, and also the most poetic and romantic nation. Poetry is a gene engraved in the bones of the Chinese people, so no matter when, no matter what the situation, poetry can be written. As long as there is poetry, people will never despair and there will always be a way. I think the reason why Chinese civilization has lasted for five thousand years is that the function of poetry cannot be ignored.

So since CCTV's "Chinese Poetry Conference" was broadcast, I will go and watch it whenever I have time. This time I came across a book about this program, so naturally I wanted to read it. How should I put it? Since the program "Chinese Poetry Conference" was aired, it has caused a lot of controversy, because this program is really unique and different from other variety shows, and it is not about serious poetry. Forum, so there are many people who question it. When I read the book "Chinese Poetry Conference", I also had an intuition that this book would probably cause a lot of controversy, because from a book perspective, this book is really unique, and the contents inside The content is very different from traditional books. Traditional books generally only provide knowledge, and people cannot interact with the book. However, this book allows readers to interact with the book. Whether this is a good thing or a bad thing depends on the beholder and the wise. But I rather appreciate this approach.

Let me talk about the advantages of this book. First, the poems selected in this book are good. This is the most important point. This is also the most worth buying this book. Since ancient times, China has had various anthologies of poems, such as "Three Hundred Tang Poems". In fact, the poems are all there. Readers want to read them, and now the Internet is so convenient that they can be found. But the problem is that there are too many poems in China. For example, there are tens of thousands of Tang poems. Among them, good and bad coexist. It is difficult for ordinary readers to distinguish, and they do not have the energy and time to distinguish. Therefore, the role of poetry anthology is to From the treasure house of Chinese poetry, we select the best and most evocative poems to present to readers. The poems selected in the book "Chinese Poetry Conference" are first of all large in quantity, and secondly they are all good poems and good words. Some are common to everyone, and some are good but uncommon. The editor of this book should be careful when selecting poems. I have spent a lot of effort to read this book, and in the least amount of time, I can understand the face of Chinese poetry to the greatest extent, and get the most exposure to good Chinese poetry.

Secondly, this book uses a very flexible and novel method to create an interaction between the book and the readers. Readers and the guests of the "Chinese Poetry Conference" program can compare their poetry reserves in this book, just like participating in a paper version of the "Chinese Poetry Conference". This will increase readers' interest in reading this book. It will be a great improvement, and after reading this book, readers will be reminded of many poems they have memorized before but forgotten, and they can also remember many new poems. This book is extremely suitable for children or students, and I sincerely recommend it.

Of course, the layout design and cover illustrations of this book are all very beautiful and elegant. These readers can see it, so I won’t go into details.

Finally, I want to say something myself. Maybe many people think that poetry is a game for a small number of people, at least it belongs to that group of scholars or the upper class elites, so the "Chinese Poetry Conference" Since the broadcast, there has been an argument that making poetry so entertaining and allowing the general public to access it will damage the image of poetry and make poetry originate.

In response to this argument, what I want to say is that poetry has never been a game for some elites or cultural people. China is a great country in poetry, not because of a small number of people, but because of the whole nation. Starting from the "Book of Songs", the general public has participated in the creation of poetry. A large amount of the wind, Yuefu poems, etc. in the "Book of Songs" were transformed from local folk songs. Moreover, China’s great poets and lyricists all grew up on the poetic land of China. Without this fertile poetic soil, we have reason to question, could Li Bai and Du Fu still be Li Bai and Du Fu? Since ancient times in China, poetry has been highly popular among the people. China is a country where all people read poetry and write poetry. Therefore, it is right to let poetry return to the public and let poetry spread among ordinary people. This is a return. It’s time to reach the traditional track of poetry. Resurrecting poetry has both advantages and disadvantages, so no matter what, it is a blessing to see people paying more and more attention to poetry, and should be strongly supported.
