Wang Shizhen, who was born into a noble family and passed the imperial examination in his early twenties, and Hai Rui were from two different worlds and had rarely crossed paths in the past.
Moreover, Wang Shizhen cannot ask for help right away. She must first lay the foundation for the relationship before getting down to business.
Therefore, after Wang Shizhen and Hai Rui met, they could only chat awkwardly.
Wang Shizhen's main identity has never been an official position, but her position as the leader of the literary world, and her small talk revolves around the literary world and literature.
You can't drag Hai Rui to talk about improving morale and discipline, right? Wang Shizhen himself is the official with the most absenteeism in Nanjing.
"In recent years, our retro school has produced several handsome young men. Has Dazhong Cheng ever read their poems?" Wang Shizhen asked, picking up the topic.
Hai Rui thought of something, took out a stack of poem manuscripts from the desk, and said to Wang Shizhen: "As for poems, these were submitted to me by a junior, what do you think of Shao Sikou?"
Wang Shizhen took it and saw that the main title on the first page, which was regarded as the cover, was "Today's Yuefu".
He couldn't help but scream in his heart, what a loud tone! It should be said that anyone who sees this title will probably feel this way.
Then Wang Shizhen continued to scroll down, and the subtitle was "Fourteen Sufferings". Looking at the main text again, it was still the Fourteen Sufferings.
After skimming through it, Wang Shizhen, as an old leader in the literary world, commented: "The writing is simple, the language is vulgar, it lacks elegance, the emotions are not natural enough, it is too artificial, and the format is not regular."
In terms of aesthetic style, Leader Wang doesn't like this kind of poetry very much.
Hai Rui hadn't said anything yet, but Gu Xiancheng spoke first: "What Duke Yanzhou said is wrong. The ancients said that poetry expresses ambition, so the first thing to look at when reading poetry is the ambition in it.
These fourteen sufferings are full of feelings of concern for the country and the people. They are expressed from feelings and spoken freely, so they appear natural and vivid.
How can we make rash judgments just because we don't use the allusions of the old people and don't imitate the styles of the Han and Tang Dynasties?
I think it can be used in conjunction with daily lectures, and it will definitely have an educational effect.
If the collection of poems is published, I would like to collect a hundred copies, transport them back to Wuxi County School, and distribute them to scholars."
Wang Shizhen looked at Gu Xiancheng in surprise, who are you? When did a figure like you appear in the literary world?
Is it possible that this collection of poems was written by a relative of yours, so you are bragging about it here?
Hai Rui was also extremely surprised. Are you, Gu Xiancheng, schizophrenic? Just after you had a big fight with Lin Tailai, you praised Lin Tailai's poems?
Hai Rui couldn't help but asked Gu Xiancheng again: "Are you sure?"
Gu Xiancheng said without hesitation: "Definitely. Although it is not as good as Bai Letian's New Yuefu, it is worthy of the name of Today's Yuefu."
Wang Shizhen lowered his head to drink tea, and immediately squirted it out. "Not as good as Bai Juyi" was such a profound comment.
Hai Rui was finally sure that Gu Xiancheng might have misunderstood something.
Hai Qingtian was not a happy person and immediately reminded him: "Actually, you all don't know something. The author of this collection of poems is actually Suzhou Lin Tailai."
Gu Xiancheng: "."
I just heard Hai Rui say "This is the work of a junior" and thought that Hai Rui deliberately concealed the author's identity and wanted to get a fair evaluation from Wang Shizhen.
Who can imagine that this collection of poems was written by Lin Tailai!
Hai Rui and Hai Zhongcheng were so full that they printed poetry collections for others who were not relatives!
Could it be more disgusting to write a preface to Lin Tailai's collection of poems?
Gu Xiancheng sat on the chair without saying a word, falling into autistic state.
Old Alliance Leader Wang was used to being dissolute, so he couldn't help but throw his head back and laugh.
You deserve it! You dare to contradict the leader of the literary world and praise poetry without following the rules!
After the old leader Wang finished laughing, Hai Rui said again: "I will not talk about the rhythm, but only the theme of the poem. This institute believes that this book "Jin Yuefu" is the best work in recent years.
This academy believes that this type of poetry should be promoted in the literary world and encourage literati to pay more attention to people's livelihood!"
Wang Shizhen was preparing to hold another literary conference, and was asking for help from Hai Rui, so when she heard Hai Rui's promotion suggestion, although she didn't explicitly refuse it, she just casually responded with a few words.
If you fool around verbally for a while, there will be no trouble in the future!
Promotion is impossible. He will never be able to promote Lin Tailai's poetry in his life!
Hai Rui is a very pragmatic person in his work, and he made a more specific proposal:
"You came to Nanjing, presumably to take advantage of the gathering of scholars in Nanjing to reopen the literary conference, right?
I think we can start promoting this collection of poems at literary conferences. We can use this collection of poems as the theme at literary gatherings and let the celebrities attending the conference comment on it.
I can sponsor one hundred poetry collections for you for dissemination and promotion."
Wang Shizhen: "."
Damn it! I was laughing at Gu Xiancheng just now, and now I am suddenly disgusted!
Just thinking about promoting Lin Tailai's poetry collection at a literary conference hosted by me and guiding his disciples to make positive comments together makes me feel physically uncomfortable!
"Is this not difficult?" Hai Rui asked again after he finished explaining his idea.
Wang Shizhen didn’t know how to answer, Hai Rui, do you want to use politics to interfere with literary creation?
He turned to look at Gu Xiancheng, and suddenly found that Gu Jun, who had the same problem as him, was also very handsome at this time.
Why can’t I get more monthly votes...Have I been bad at writing lately...
