Chapter 80 The Mid-Autumn Festival Poetry Festival
Beijing, headquarters of the Chinese Poetry Association.
"Old Liu, how about it? What do you think?" Bai Yi asked.
Bai Yi is 42 years old this year and is a member of the Chinese Poetry Association. He is a famous poet in China and is good at writing ancient poetry. He became famous in his early years with a poem "Early Walking in the Mountains" and then rose rapidly. He joined the Chinese Poetry Association five years ago.
Lao Liu, who was sitting opposite Bai Yi, was named Liu Yuan. He was also 42 years old and was also a member of the Chinese Poetry Association. His fame in China was equally comparable to Bai Yi. He was also good at writing ancient poetry.
At this time, Liu Yuan frowned slightly, pondered for a while before answering: "This poem is as you said, it is very vulgar when you look at it, but it tastes differently after careful consideration. Given its particularity, it can indeed be regarded as a new style of poetry. Although it is difficult to enter the elegant hall, it should also have its vitality. Who wrote this poem?"
Bai Yi smiled and said, "I have naturally found out. This poem was written by a fairy tale writer named Li Fan. It was created during a Weibo interaction with fans."
"Oh? Are you talking about Li Fan, the author of "Shuke and Beta" Li Fan?" Liu Yuan immediately became interested when he heard this.
"That's right, do you know him too?" Bai Yi asked.
Liu Yuan laughed and said, "That's natural. Speaking of which, the boy is not very famous now. Many people like his "Shuke and Beta" and "Cat and Mouse" now."
Bai Yi also smiled and said, "Indeed, judging from his two works, it is reasonable for him to write this poem. I just don't know if he was a coincidence or deliberately?"
Liu Yuan pondered for a moment and said, "Instead of guessing here, it's better to ask him directly."
Bai Yi nodded and said, "Yes, I just asked rashly, I'm afraid it's a bit abrupt. I have to find a more familiar middleman. Well, I remember Mr. Zheng seemed to have recommended a short fairy tale from him before. Let's go and visit Mr. Zheng?"
"Well, I think it's OK." Liu Yuan nodded in agreement.
...
Three Saint Village.
Li Fan was pursuing the wheat that he had cooked yesterday when he suddenly heard the phone ringing in the house.
When I returned to the house, I saw that it was Tang Quan who called him.
"Is there something wrong with the manuscript?" Li Fan muttered and answered the phone.
"President Tang, you should be very busy now. What's the matter if you call me?"
"Haha! Brother Li, it's because I've been a little busy these two days and I haven't noticed that you are not doing your job properly." Tang Quan's voice came.
"Don't do your job properly? Why don't you do your job properly?" Li Fan was very surprised.
"Did you write a song on Weibo two days ago?"
"I thought it was something. Well, I wrote a song. Why? President Tang wants to educate me?" Li Fan joked.
"You boy. I won't talk to you anymore, just tell you the serious business. Brother, I'm still busy. This is the case, Bai Yi and Liu Yuan, do you know?"
"I know those two very famous poets. Master Bai has also appreciated my poem. Haha!"
"It's good that you know. They seem to be very interested in your poem. They want to talk to you. They feel it's a bit abrupt to find you directly, so they found Mr. Zheng first, and Mr. Zheng asked me to tell you. Look at this?"
"This is my honor. The two masters are so polite. I should have visited them. So, give me his QD number and I will contact him." Li Fan said.
"Okay, then I'll send it to you in a short message. Okay, I'm dead. Brother is busy. You guy knows life."
"Haha! Then you can do it first."
After saying that, Li Fan hung up the phone.
He was not surprised that Bai Yi would look for him. After all, as a poet, he would definitely be happy to see the hunter when he saw this new style of poetry.
Li Fan was worried about how to thank Bai Yi. As a master of poetry, you appreciate your newcomer's poems. You should express your gratitude to you, both with affection and etiquette.
Now that Bai Yi's QD number is available, Li Fan doesn't have to worry about it.
Soon, Li Fan received a short message from Tang Quan.
He turned on the computer, logged in to qd, and sent a friend application to Bai Yi's qd number.
Soon, Bai Yi passed the application and sent the message.
"Is it Mr. Li Fan?"
Li Fan quickly replied, "I am Li Fan, I really don't dare to be the word "sir". Don't call Master Bai like this."
"Haha! Then I'll call you Brother Li. You don't have to call me Master Bai anymore, just call me Brother Bai or Teacher Bai."
Bai Yi seems to be a generous person, and Li Fan is not pretentious.
"As a junior, I'd better call you Teacher Bai. I would like to thank Teacher Bai for my appreciation of my poem."
"Brother Li, be polite. Brother Li's poem has a unique flavor. I would like to ask Brother Li, how did you create this poem?"
"Haha! This poem is wonderful, but it is difficult to enter the elegant hall in the end. I call it a 'likable poem'."
"'Like Poems'? Haha! Good! What a like Poems. It's so appropriate. Brother Li has created a new style of poetry."
"Teacher Bai, don't praise you anymore. The boy is just standing on the shoulders of a giant, and he has some insights."
"What a 'stand on the shoulders of a giant'. Brother Li is very good. But Brother Li, don't be humorous. Your likable poems are humorous and simple and easy to understand. They are easy to spread among the people. They will play an important role in the dissemination of poetry and culture in our country."
Li Fan agrees very much with this. Since the limerick appears, it has shown strong vitality and is easily spread among the people. After all, for ordinary people, they don’t understand those too elegant poems.
"Teacher Bai said this, which made the boy feel a little fluttering!"
"Haha! I'm disturbing Brother Li today, and I want to tell you something about it. Does Brother Li know about the 'Poetry Conference'?"
"Learn a little, I heard it was held on the Mid-Autumn Festival."
"Well, the 'Poetry Conference' is also called the 'Mid-Autumn Festival Poetry Conference'. However, it did not start on the Mid-Autumn Festival. The poetry conference had already begun before this. For specific rules, Brother Li can go to our official website of the Chinese Poetry Association to learn about it."
"Okay, no problem. What does Teacher Bai mean?"
"I just want to ask Brother Li, are you interested in attending this year's poetry conference? I am very interested in Brother Li's poetry. I believe that Brother Li can write more than the poem "Ying Xue".
Participating in the poetry conference? Li Fan had never thought about this before. Now Bai Yi mentioned it, he definitely couldn't refuse directly. Well, go to the official website to learn about the rules first.
"Teacher Bai, I don't know much about this 'Poetry Conference'. Why don't I go and check the rules first?"
"That's right. Brother Li doesn't have to rush to reply in a moment."
"Okay, Mr. Bai."
"Well, then I won't bother Brother Li for now. If you have anything to do with Brother Li, come to me at any time."
"Okay, thank you Teacher Bai."
After ending the conversation with Bai Yi, Li Fan also considered the poetry conference.
"Well, let's go to the official website first to check the rules."
Beijing, China Musicians Association.
"Do you think Brother Li will participate?" Liu Yuan asked.
"I think it should be, and I feel that this year's poetry conference will become very lively because of his participation." Bai Yi smiled.
"I hope this is the case. It's hard to have such an interesting newcomer. It would be a pity if I didn't come."
"Yes, our current poetry world is prosperous on the surface, but in fact it has reached a bottleneck period. Few good poems have been published. Now is the time to need fresh blood." Bai Yi said with some emotion.
Liu Yuan nodded, then smiled and said, "Old Bai, we don't have to worry. There are many masters in this year's poetry conference. Maybe there will be surprises."
Bai Yi also smiled and said, "Well, that's true."
