Chi Xueli stood on the steps outside the temple and looked at the endless rice fields outside the ancestral hall: "It doesn't matter. I want to look forward to Emperor Cong and see that the descendants have inherited their legacy and achieved today's achievements.

You should be very satisfied and happy."

"Elbow, I think you should write all this down and publish it in a journal so that more people know the history and stories here."

"I also graduated with a Chinese major, but I don't know a lot of what you talked about today."

Zhou Zhi chuckled to himself, that's because this subject of knowledge is too vast, and today's university education is still biased toward quick courses, focusing on building skeletons and building meridians.

These fleshy and textured things cannot be fully mastered by a four-year undergraduate degree.

And there is no search engine now. You can only build an index system in your mind through a terrifying amount of reading. Otherwise, even if you are given a library, you won't even know which book to read.

And after spending so much energy to learn and master it, what will happen next?

Apart from writing articles, there is almost no use for it.

Therefore, this is a knowledge that is almost losing its life.

Unless the Chinese people begin to rebuild their national self-confidence and urgently need to fill the gap that makes the nation proud, and when the nation begins to re-examine and think about its own uniqueness and superiority, China's long-standing civilization, splendid culture, and its lasting vitality can be

Become the target of everyone’s investigation.

And this knowledge will not be able to take on new life until then.

Zhou Zhi smiled and shook his head: "There's no need for that. The next study tasks will be very heavy, so I need to focus my energy on that."

Chi Xueli said anxiously: "I think it is necessary! Otherwise, you can send it to me after you finish writing it, and leave it to me with confidence, and you don't have to worry about it."

Zhou Zhi thought for a moment: "Then I'll write a travelogue when I get back. This shouldn't be too complicated. Come on, sister will take a photo of me and Yang He."

Only then did Chi Xueli realize that her camera had been hanging around Zhou Zhi's neck. She took it off and said, "Wait a minute, I'll put the camera on the stone pillar, and the three of us will come together!"

Under the setting sun at Wangcong Temple, with the main hall as the background, the three of them took a group photo with bright smiles.

On the way back to pick up the car, Chi Xueli asked: "Jiuzi, how did you get your knowledge of classical culture and history?"

Zhou Zhi said: "My fourth cousin went to a private school, and later was admitted to the Nanjing Institute of Education. He is considered to be a master of both internal and external studies. My godfather is also very good. They laid the foundation for me."

Chi Xueli no longer regards Zhou Zhi as a high school student in ancient Chinese literature: "I just heard you quote 'Wang Di Chun Xin Tu Cuckoo'. Li Shangyin's poem is the most difficult to understand. I have never read it. Can you understand it?"

?"

Zhou Zhi said: "Actually, the difficulty with Li Shangyin's poems lies in the Untitled series. Is this what Sister Xue Li wants to ask?"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Chi Xueli nodded like he was pounding garlic: "'The spring silkworms will die when the silkworms are dead, and the wax torches will turn to ashes before the tears dry up'. 'The moon in the sea has tears, the blue field is warm and the jade produces smoke', the sentence is extremely

What is the theme of this beautiful and poetic poem? I can’t understand it.”

"That's because Sister Xue Li has entered a misunderstanding."

A few people wandered among the ancient cypresses, and Zhou Zhi began to explain to Chi Xueli his understanding of Li Shangyin's "Untitled": "There are currently several generally recognized poems in China."

"Among them, "Tan Ge" is a hunting poem: 'Broken bamboos are restored; flying earth chases away corpses.'"

""Striking the Soil" is a farming poem: 'We work when the sun rises, we rest when the sun sets. We dig wells to drink, and we plow the fields to eat. What do I have from the imperial power?'"

"In addition, there is another poem, which was included as the first poem in the "Grand View of Classical Literature" published by Yuelu Publishing House. It is a celebration poem: 'With hands, dance. With feet, dance'."

"No matter which song it is, we can see the systematic structure of Chinese poetry, with a strong realistic narrative style, and we should develop it on this basis, which is what the Book of Songs calls 'elegance and elegance, and Fu Bixing'."

"If you apply Li Shangyin's "Untitled" in this way, you will find a problem, which is what Sister Chi just said, the problem of unclear theme."

"Take "Jin Se" as an example. The first sentence begins with "Jin Se has fifty strings for no reason", recalling his own "flower years" and delineating the content scope of the poem."

"But the next two sentences, 'Zhuang Sheng' and 'Wang Di', actually only describe the disillusionment of hope and the emptiness of sustenance. What they say is 'cannot get what you want'."

"The two sentences 'Canghai' and 'Lantian' contain the Buddhist theory of cause and effect, including flaws and regrets."

"The last 'reminiscence' and 'wandering' are the memories of the loss of the most cherished things in the confusion."

"Throughout the entire poem, Li Shangyin did not say much about what he was disillusioned and lost when he was young, what he regretted and regretted."

"We can use our own understanding, which may be life span, health, family affection, love, career, wealth, family..."

"But is this important? It's not important. Because what the poet originally wanted to convey and express was a subjective emotion."

"Have we really felt this flow of emotions and thoughts? Of course we have, otherwise they would not have become famous and passed down through the ages."

"So "Untitled" is really untitled. What it writes is the flow of emotions and thoughts. What we need to feel is the flow of emotions and thoughts that are blended with the poet's sadness, regret, and regret at that time.

"

"These emotions are present in everyone, so the poet believes that his poems do not need to be understood, but only need to be felt and resonated."

"This has actually broken away from the spiritual core of the traditional Chinese concept of 'poetry expresses ambition', or it can be summarized as 'poetry expresses meaning'."

"And I think that Chinese ancient poetry is actually a magical process of co-creation between the author and the reader. The words left by the poet are actually intentionally escapist, incomplete, and blank."

"These skips, incompleteness, and blank spaces are left to the readers to automatically fill in their minds when reading."

"This process creates the realization of artistic conception, which is a very beautiful process of expression, transmission and reception."

"So in this sense, Li Shangyin's "Untitled" is certainly a poem, and it is also a very clever poem."

"He doesn't even need you to understand, that is to say, he doesn't need you to completely fill in the skips, incompleteness, and blank spaces. He also completes this beautiful process. Compared with ordinary poems, it is more romantic and fantastic.

Ethereal.”

Seeing that Chi Xueli was getting more and more confused as he listened, Zhou Zhi sighed helplessly: "Maybe I can put it another way, maybe it will be easier for Sister Chi to understand."

"you say."

"There is a genre in Western literature, and academic circles generally believe that they are the embodiment of symbolist literature in the field of novels."

"Because of its unique techniques and high achievements, it is usually treated as an independent literary genre."

"This school advocates reproducing the 'reality' subjectively felt by the characters objectively and spontaneously on paper."

"At the end of the 19th century, the French writer Édouard Dujardin published the novel "The Chopped Laurel Tree". This novel always used the artistic technique of "inner monologue" and was regarded by later generations as the forerunner of this genre.

"

"The subsequent French writer Marcel Proust, whose masterpiece "In Search of Lost Time" practiced the author's "subjective realism" artistic view, became a model for this genre."

"In 1919, the famous British novelist Virginia Woolf created "The Spot on the Wall". The work uses the infinite association process caused by a woman seeing a vague spot on the wall.

Revealing the richness and changeability of people’s inner world.”

"Is Li Shangyin's "Untitled Jinse" also created in the same way?"

At this point, Chi Xueli finally understood: "Stream of consciousness literature!"

"Yes! That's it!" Zhou Zhi said: "The techniques of this genre include inner monologue, inner analysis, own associations, montage of time and space, and another important point is poetry and music."

"Li Shangyin expressed all the above techniques vividly and vividly in just fifty-six words!"

"So no matter from the perspective of creative techniques, creative ideas or creative ideas, Li Shangyin's "Untitled" is the earliest 'stream of consciousness literature' in the world!"

"These writers of later generations actually mixed a lot of realist materials into their works. In terms of 'purity' and 'beauty', how can they be compared with these poems?!"

Zhou Zhi began to feel indignant: "So I don't understand. There are so many people who study foreign literature. Doesn't any of them know about Li Shangyin's "Untitled"?"

"There are so many people who study Chinese classical poetry, but no one knows about Western stream-of-consciousness literature?"

"But why doesn't anyone connect it? Why doesn't anyone realize that Li Shangyin's "Untitled" is the earliest and purest stream of consciousness literature?"

"Why doesn't anyone realize that the creative method that was highly respected in the West in the 20th century was left behind by an ancient Chinese poet more than a thousand years ago, and is still something that most Chinese people are familiar with today?

Woolen cloth?!"

"This is an extreme lack of cultural self-confidence! We worship foreigners and think that foreign moons are rounder than Chinese ones! We don't have a deep understanding of Chinese traditional classical aesthetics!"

"So the founder of stream-of-consciousness literature was not a Westerner at all; this creative method did not just appear in the 20th century."

"The founder and great achiever of this important literary school should be our great poet Li Shangyin who was born in 813 AD and died in 858 AD!"

"The truly pure classic masterpiece of this genre should be his "Untitled"!"

"Many people are impressed by Li Shangyin's talent and moved by the beauty of "Untitled", but most people have ignored the era of poetry that was solidified by the popularity of elegant odes and poems. Li Shangyin's courageous breakthroughs in creation have been hard-earned.

Seeking the pioneering spirit of innovation!”

"Read Li Shangyin's "Untitled" with an attitude toward stream-of-consciousness literature. Sister Chi, do you still find it difficult to understand it now?"

Chi Xueli was so excited that she was trembling.

This is the most effortless skill to pierce the window paper with one finger!

But it is also the most difficult skill!

Because many people haven’t even reached the window yet!

He grabbed Zhou Zhi's arm: "Elbow! You must write another article! Write this well!"

"Ah? Sister, are you waiting for me here?" Zhou Zhi thought for a moment and shook his head firmly: "No, I won't write this."
Chapter completed!
