Some time ago, I studied Xin Qiji's ci, read some materials, and got a better understanding of Xin Qiji's ci and thoughts. Especially after reading Liang Heng's article "Pat Rotten Dry" several times, I feel that I entered Xin Qiji's heart with Mr. Liang Heng's brush strokes. Mr. Liang Heng said in his article that Xin Qiji's ci was "carved with swords and shadows" and "smeared with blood and tears", but his pursuit was "never to be a poet". Finally, I was quite surprised when I first saw it. A great poet who is famous all over the world and has played a great role in promoting the creation and development of ci, even though he is not interested in ci, he is deeply impressed after reading and thinking about it. "Poets are military men, and military men are political people." This is Liang Heng's accurate and profound evaluation of Xin Qiji. If the rulers at that time attached importance to him and the social environment was suitable for him, Xin Qiji might have made greater achievements in politics, but it backfired. Xin Qiji's ambition can't be realized, and his lofty sentiments can only be turned into frequent sighs, so poems came into being, recording his sadness, his joy and his pain ... meaning is not words, but his pain.
In Seventeen Lectures on Poems of Tang and Song Dynasties, Mr. Ye Jiaying thinks that Xin Qiji's attitude towards Ci is similar to that of Qu Yuan and Du Fu, both of whom write their own poems with their lives and express their inner aspirations and thoughts in their works. Qu Yuan and Du Fu were not poets originally, but expressed their feelings through poems. Qu Yuan was born in a noble family and had outstanding political ability. However, he couldn't show it until he was defeated by a courtier. Finally, I can only put it on the bank of Yinze, and record and express my lofty ideals, loyalty to the monarch and patriotism in Chu language. Du Fu was born in a scholarly family. Although he said that "poetry belongs to my family", he still paid attention to the country for most of his life, happy for the country and sad for the people's livelihood. Before the Anshi Rebellion, most of the poems I wrote were mainly intended to make them the media of my official career, hoping to "make the monarch Yao and Shun superior and then make the customs pure". In the Anshi Rebellion, poems were used to record what they saw and heard, express their concern for the country and the people, and hope that the rulers could understand the situation and improve people's livelihood. In his later poems, in addition to worrying about the country and the people, he also contained his own frustration: "I hope my art can bring me fame and liberate my sick old age from the office!" ""Is there an article that is amazing and stationed in Jianggan? " Self-mockery reveals more dissatisfaction. In addition, Du Fu also talked about his experience and pursuit of poetry. "Reading is like writing a book, and writing is like a god." The emphasis here is reading; "Out of human nature, words are not surprising and never stop." What is emphasized here is practicing calligraphy, which is the further processing after writing poetry. But how to write depends on your own life and reading, and kung fu should be outside the poem.
From this, I thought of students' compositions. From elementary school to junior high school and then to senior high school, every summer vacation, advertisements for various training courses are flying all over the sky, and the slogans of some composition training courses are even more eye-catching, such as "The Secret of Composition", "Three-day Composition by going up one flight of stairs" and "Full Score Composition" ... I don't know how the organizers of these training courses dare to write, which may confirm another sentence, called "Ignorance and Fearlessness". It is true that there are some methods and skills in composition writing, such as how to examine the topic, how to arrange the structure, how to point and deduct the topic in the text, and so on. However, these are all tips, and the fundamental thing to improve the writing level lies in life and reading. Yin Jianli said in the book "A good mother is better than a good teacher" that her daughter had read a lot of books before the third year of high school, but she had not read excellent composition selections. In senior three, she studied a perfect composition for the college entrance examination and summarized some excellent writing methods. As a result, she achieved very ideal results in the composition of the college entrance examination. Therefore, in the summer vacation, it is more helpful for students to go to nature and scenic spots, do what they like to do (except playing games and other unhealthy activities), listen to their favorite songs and read their favorite books.
Reading, as we all know, is good for writing, but you can't read for reading, you can't read for reading, and you can't die for reading. In this way, students will only get tired of reading, and their writing level will certainly be difficult to improve. Guide students to calm down, concentrate on reading, learn to feel (in the seventeenth lecture of Tang and Song Ci), be good at association, and draw inferences from others. When reading, you should be good at thinking. Many books express the author's understanding of nature, life and society. When reading, you should be good at exploring, connecting with reality and gradually forming your own understanding. I always feel that reading at ordinary times is like accumulating wealth. In my mind, I feel there is a warehouse where I have a little income from my usual life and reading. When I encounter some scenes or composition topics, my brain will quickly start the search button and search for the required materials in the "warehouse", plus emotion, language and so on. , to complete a better article. If your mind is empty, it is naturally difficult to write a composition. Xin Qiji likes to use allusions in his poems, probably because he had a deep understanding of some allusions when he was reading.
Therefore, there is no shortcut to composition. If you want to write a good composition, it is most important to study hard and live a good life.
