Chapter 669 Poetry
There are rigorous parallelisms that meet the requirements of the rhythmic school, "golden steps and jade bricks" and "green sleeves and red skirts", "Phoenix Palace bells" and "Dragon Pond waves", with harmonious tones and beautiful rhythms; and vivid brushstrokes outline the prosperous artistic conception of the spring palace, showing Lu Kang's profound poetry skills. Although Zhou Bangyan sighed in his heart, he was still unwilling to accept it and said: "Lu Bianxiu's poem has good rhythm and artistic conception, but the words seem to be too straightforward and lack some implicit beauty." Lu Kang smiled and responded: "Mr. Zhou is right, the style of poetry varies from person to person. In my opinion, whether it is straightforward or implicit, it is a good poem that can accurately convey emotions and ideas. The beauty of poetry should not be limited to form." His answer caused some young Hanlin scholars present to nod in agreement, while the old scholars of the rhythmic school frowned. In this poetry meeting, Liu Yong, who was a poet of the artistic conception school, stood up to support Lu Kang: "What Lu editor said is very true. The artistic conception should be the first priority in poetry, and the rhythm is only auxiliary. Lu editor's poems have taken a different approach and injected new vitality into the poetry of the Song Dynasty. It is a blessing for the poetry world." Liu Yong's support made Lu Kang feel very relieved. He and Liu Yong smiled at each other and formed a deep friendship. At the same time, Lu Kang and Li Qingzhao's exchanges became more and more frequent. Li Qingzhao often asked Lu Kang for advice on the creation concept of modern poetry, and Lu Kang was generous and taught him everything he knew. One day, Li Qingzhao brought her newly written lyrics to Lu Kang for appreciation: "Mr. Lu, I feel a little confused about my new lyrics. I hope you can teach me." Lu Kang took the lyrics and recited softly: The fragrance of the red lotus is gone, the jade mat is cold in autumn, I take off my silk clothes and go on the orchid boat alone. Who sent the brocade letter from the clouds? When the wild geese return, the moon is full in the west building. Flowers fall and water flows, one kind of lovesickness, two kinds of idle worries. There is no way to eliminate this feeling, just let it go, but it comes back to my heart. Lu Kang praised: "Miss Yi An's poem has a quiet artistic conception and delicate emotions, which vividly depicts the lovesickness of the boudoir. Especially the sentence 'just let it go, but it comes back to my heart', which is wonderful. However, from the perspective of modern poetry, perhaps the rhythm can be slightly adjusted to make the emotional expression more ups and downs." He explained to Li Qingzhao in detail the techniques of modern poetry in grasping rhythm, and Li Qingzhao listened attentively and was deeply inspired. As time went by, Lu Kang's influence in the poetry world grew day by day. He not only innovated in poetry creation, but also actively participated in poetry education, integrating the creation methods of modern poetry into the teaching of the Hanlin Academy, and cultivated a group of young poets with innovative spirit. His poetry stories are widely circulated among the people and have become a model that inspires countless literati to pursue innovation. His life in the Song Dynasty became more colorful because of these poetic disputes and sincere friendships. He continued to write his legendary chapter as a time traveler, leaving a strong mark in the poetry world of the Song Dynasty.
Neighborhood disputes in Siheyuan In a corner of Beijing, there is an ancient Siheyuan with blue bricks, gray tiles, and a vermilion lacquered gate, which exudes the unique charm of old Beijing. There are more than ten families living in the courtyard. They should be neighbors in harmony and share the daily life, but recently there have been constant disputes, and the peaceful life has been messed up. The public kitchen in the Siheyuan is a hot spot for conflicts. Every morning, everyone races against time to prepare breakfast and provide hot meals for their families who are at work or school. Uncle Li and his family get up early and are used to occupying the stove to cook porridge and stir-fry. On this day, Aunt Wang got up a little late and hurried to the kitchen, but found that all the stoves were occupied. Seeing the full pots and pans in Uncle Li's house, Aunt Wang stamped her feet anxiously: "Brother Li, you have so many things here, my child will be late for school, can you let me use the stove first?" Uncle Li was busy frying the dishes in the pot, and said without raising his head: "Everyone has to cook, I have to prepare for my family, right? Wait a little longer." Aunt Wang was furious when she heard it: "It's always like this, your family has occupied the stove for so long, can others get by?" The two of them talked back and forth, and the voices became louder and louder, attracting other neighbors to come and watch. At this time, Sister Zhang came over to make peace: "Don't quarrel, we are all neighbors, let's understand each other. Uncle Li, why don't you move a stove to Aunt Wang first, the child's schooling is a big deal." Uncle Li heard this, although he was dissatisfied, but it was not easy to refuse, and reluctantly gave up a stove. Aunt Wang was still grumbling while cooking, and Uncle Li had a dark face, and the taste of the food seemed to have become less fragrant because of the quarrel. The public space in the courtyard is also the focus of neighborhood disputes. There is an open space in the center of the courtyard, where people usually hang clothes and put sundries here. Brother Zhao recently bought a bicycle, but there was no place to put it, so he parked it in the open space. Aunt Sun likes to bask in the sun and do needlework here on weekdays. Once the bicycle is parked, more than half of her activity space is occupied. Aunt Sun found Brother Zhao to argue: "Xiao Zhao, how can you park your bicycle here? If this place is occupied, how can we use it?" Brother Zhao said nonchalantly: "Aunt, I have no place to put it, so I'll park it here for a few days. It won't be a problem." Aunt Sun didn't agree. She felt that Brother Zhao was too selfish and didn't consider others at all. The two insisted on their own opinions, and neither could convince the other. Aunt Sun was angry and found Uncle Liu, the manager of the courtyard. Uncle Liu is old and highly respected in the courtyard. On weekdays, when there are conflicts and disputes between neighbors, they all go to him for mediation. After listening to the whole story, Uncle Liu called Brother Zhao over and said earnestly: "Xiao Zhao, this public space belongs to everyone. You can't just think about your own convenience. See if you can find another place to put the bicycle. If not, let's think of a way to build a simple carport in the corner of the yard." Brother Zhao heard Uncle Liu's words and knew that he was in the wrong, so he had to move the bicycle somewhere else. But the seeds of his dissatisfaction with Aunt Sun were planted in his heart. One wave has not settled, another wave rises. The water and electricity bills of the courtyard have always been shared by households, but recently, Uncle Qian found that his water and electricity bills were much higher than usual. He suspected that someone had stolen his water and electricity, so he complained loudly in the yard: "Why is the water and electricity bill so high this month? Someone must have secretly used my water and electricity. This is not okay. We must find out!" As soon as these words came out, the other neighbors were not happy. Sister Zhou was the first to stand up and refute: "Uncle Qian, please don't talk nonsense. We are all decent people. How could we do such a thing? Maybe your family uses too many electrical appliances." Uncle Qian was even more angry when he heard it: "My family has always used it like this. Why didn't it get so high before? Someone must be playing tricks!" In order to prove his guess, Uncle Qian began to secretly observe the water and electricity usage of other neighbors. One day, he found that the lights in Brother Sun's house were still on in broad daylight, so he rushed over and questioned: "Brother Sun, why did you turn on the lights in broad daylight? Are you deliberately wasting electricity so that everyone can share more costs?"
