Chapter 19: The Writings of the Great Han
During the Western Han Dynasty, ancient poetry was still popular, and there were no restrictions on rhyme and rhyme.
For example, in Liu Bang's "Song of the Great Wind", strong winds are blowing and clouds are flying. Weijia is returning to his hometown in the sea, and warriors are guarding the four directions.
The whole poem consists of these three lines.
A decent rhyme, a decent rhyme.
In the Tang Dynasty, this would definitely be criticized.
However, people in the Han Dynasty had heard few beautiful poems, so they thought "Song of the Wind" was quite pleasant.
Liu Che wrote "Autumn Wind Ci" because of "Song of the Great Wind".
What my ancestors had, I must have too.
This is what Liu Che thinks.
In essence, the poetry of the Han Dynasty is the most basic form of spiritual food.
The poetry of the Tang Dynasty was a palace feast.
Liu Che was used to listening to ancient poetry, and when he suddenly heard this kind of poetry with exquisite rhythm and beautiful artistic conception, he was immediately surprised.
The style of the early stage of the poem is very clear and beautiful, with the moon as the main subject and the river and sea as the scene, depicting a beautiful, distant, trance-like picture of a spring moonlit night on the river.
In the later period, the poetry showed a brilliant cosmic consciousness.
Of course, Liu Che does not understand the term "universe".
He just felt that the artistic conception in the later period was deep, lonely, and far-reaching.
It makes people very peaceful.
The poem consists of thirty-six lines in total, with a change of rhyme for every four lines, integrating poetry, painting and philosophy.
The imagination is unique, the words are natural and pure, and the rhythm is melodious.
One word, absolutely!
This is the kind of poetry that only gods can create!
Liu Che had a strong respect for Tang Qi.
It's a pity that the voice and tone of the immortal are really...hard to describe in words.
Liu Che felt that Tang Qi's recitation was better than singing.
The combination of the beautiful poetry and the howling voice is simply a kind of torture for the audience.
When Tang Qi finished singing the first half and was about to sing the second half, Liu Che quickly said: "Mr. Tang, did you compose this poem yourself?"
Tang Qi was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then he laughed and said: "Are you really stupid? Could this be a poem I made? Haven't you ever learned this poem in your primary school textbook?"
Liu Che shook his head and said: "No, in primary school there are only poems and calligraphy of the Spring and Autumn Period, but there are no such beautiful poems!"
Tang Qi gave a thumbs up and said: "You are awesome, you caught me by surprise and told me the contents of Han Dynasty Primary School!
Forget it, I won’t take it seriously with you, this poem is...forget it, since you don’t know, just think it’s me!”
Tang Qi felt that Liu Che was too involved in the drama now, and seemed to completely regard himself as Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
If Zhang Ruoxu's name is revealed, this guy will definitely ask where Zhang Ruoxu is from.
If I talk about the Tang Dynasty again, I will be in big trouble, and I have to educate this guy about the history of the Han and Tang Dynasties.
In order to avoid trouble, Tang Qi decided to be shameless.
Liu Che didn't know Tang Qi's mental journey.
He just sincerely clasped his fist at Tang Qi and said, "Mr. Tang is such a great talent. I really admire him for being able to create such beautiful poems!"
Tang Qi smiled proudly and said: "What the hell, I have created many more poems, three hundred in total!"
Anyway, Liu Che, Wei Qing and Wei Zifu were all acting, so Tang Qi simply acted as well.
Think of yourself as a modern person who has traveled through time to the Han Dynasty.
Copy all of "Three Hundred Tang Poems".
Act cool.
Enjoy the compliments from the other three.
Why not?
Sure enough, when Liu Che heard that Tang Qi actually had 300 poems, he immediately exclaimed: "Sir's talent is like the bright moon in the night sky, which makes people look up to him!"
This flattery made Tang Qi very useful.
"Old Liu, you are worthy of being a leader. Even if you know how to praise others, I won't let you praise people in vain. I will sing the song just now for you. I guarantee you will enjoy it!"
After saying that, Tang Qi was ready to continue singing.
Liu Che quickly dissuaded him and said: "Mr. Tang, your fairy-like voice must be well protected and not overused. Next, let's let Zifu sing. Zifu once learned singing and is very good at it.
!”
This is true.
Liu Che and Wei Zifu met for the first time at Princess Pingyang's family banquet.
In order to entertain her younger brother, Princess Pingyang specially found a group of girls who could sing and sang for Liu Che at the banquet.
Liu Che fell in love with Wei Zifu at first sight and took Wei Zifu to bed with him that night.
Therefore, there is absolutely no doubt about Wei Zifu's singing skills.
After listening to Liu Che's words, Tang Qi hesitated for several seconds, and then said: "It's okay to let your wife sing this song. Does she know how to sing it later?"
Liu Che said with a smile: "Mr. Tang, just write the poems at the end to Zihu for reading. She can compose the music herself, which will allow you to experience a different style of music!"
Logically speaking, Tang Qi, the original singer, should be allowed to teach Wei Zifu.
But Liu Che was worried that Wei Zifu would lead Tang Qi astray.
It would be better to let Wei Zifu compose the music himself.
At least it sounds a little more comfortable.
Tang Qi didn't see Liu Che's intentions, but he happily took the linen paper and charcoal and started copying the entire song "Spring River Flowers and Moonlight Night".
Liu Che looked at it twice, then smiled bitterly and said: "Mr. Tang, you write in fairy font. I'm afraid Zifu can't recognize the content. Otherwise, you should use Han's font!"
The script used in the early Han Dynasty was Xiaozhuan, which gradually evolved into official script.
Its shape is similar to traditional Chinese characters.
The characters used by Tang Qi are modern simplified characters, which are not very similar to the official script of the Han Dynasty.
Even knowledgeable people like Liu Che can't understand it, let alone Wei Zifu.
"well!"
Tang Qi sighed and said: "You are very demanding, you want me to use official script! Fortunately, I have practiced official script for a while when I was practicing calligraphy, otherwise I would have been blinded!"
After speaking, Tang Qi balled up the original linen paper and threw it away, and continued writing on the second piece of paper.
This time Tang Qi started writing directly in official script.
The official script pays attention to the silkworm head and swallowtail, regular shape and strict appearance.
When Tang Qi was practicing calligraphy, he copied the calligraphy of Cai Yong of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
Cai Yong was a master of official script and created the "Feibai" font based on official script.
The official script written by Tang Qi also has a certain feeling of Cai Yong, which is both regular and beautiful.
Liu Che couldn't help but praise: "Mr. Tang is truly worthy of being among the gods. Not only can he compose poems, but he can also write such beautiful calligraphy. He can be called one of the best. I admire him so much!"
Tang Qi said without raising his head: "What does this mean? My cursive script looks better!"
"Cursive script?"
Liu Che was suddenly confused and said: "What kind of book is that? Is it also a kind of writing from Penglai Immortal Island?"
Chapter completed!
