Chapter 73

: In a mess

After the autumn of the imperial capital began, the weather became colder and colder, and pedestrians on the street also wore gowns.

However, this cool autumn mood did not block the enthusiasm of the literary world.

Now that time, "The Legend of the Tang Dynasty's Poetry" has gone crazy.

Readers who bought the book immediately started to study it.

That’s right! Just study!

If you read it too quickly, you can't understand the complicated relationships and social backgrounds of the characters in "The Legend of Tang Dynasty".

Even the content of poetry and articles that readers are most concerned about needs to be read slowly. After all, this book is essentially a novel, not a collection of poems that analyze poetry. The works in it are also presented to readers as the plot progresses, which leads to the fact that there are very few contents about poetry analysis in the book. Even if there are, they are also displayed through the evaluation of others.

Therefore, when reading the poetry and articles, readers need to think about Liu Yuxi's poem by himself through the environment in which Liu Yuxi was in the previous article. What does this poem mean by this poem?

To be honest, such a reading experience is extremely novel for most people.

It's like there's a golden mountain in front of you. You've clearly seen it, but you need to find the way to the mountain in the morning. This kind of interaction is definitely something that other poems cannot experience in the collection.

Even the same poem may have a very different meaning in the eyes of different people.

At first, there was not much discussion on the content of "The Legend of Tang Dynasty" itself, and it was basically complaining that they didn't grab the book, or that readers who grabbed it were showing off.

After all, this book has a total of two million words, plus it is a biographical novel, without chapters, and no catalog. If you want to know what is written here, you can only read it little by little.

So much so that the "Biographies of the Tang Dynasty Poetry" that was so popular before publication, it actually stopped.

But, this is just the tranquility before the storm.

The quiet time did not last long, and soon some readers posted their reading notes.

This is still a well-known blogger in the literary circle, whose online name is "Awei Pinsi". He posted a long article, "I borrowed a book by Teacher Ye Luo's "Biographies of the Tang Dynasty" by Teacher Ye Luo, and quickly read the poems in it. Everyone knows that I am not interested in novels, so today we will not discuss the plot of the novel itself, but only talk about the poems in it."

"First of all, I began to think that the Ancient Literature Association was already promoting it, and all the best poems in this book had been released. For example, the poems in the beginning published online before, I didn't say that they were not well written, but how did they compare with "Autumn Ci"? How did they compare with "Reply to "Reply to Lotte"? Everyone must know what they are."

"But, the facts prove that I have a small pattern. There are too many classic poems in this book. I just read them briefly and haven't read them carefully, but even so, there are too many poems in it that amazed me. Here, I will first recommend a few must-read poems to you. "Looking at Dongting", "Nostalgia on the West Mountain", "Replying to Lotte to the Old Man" and "Replying to Lotte to the Old Man" whether you like novels or not, these poems are not to be missed! Next, I will analyze them one by one. Of course, let's say it first. These are my personal opinions. Just try to have fun. Please bear more if you say something wrong..."

This is a blogger who specializes in explaining poetry. He posted a long article and there are some explanations and readings of his favorite poetry.

Although the blogger did not pay much attention to the plot in the novel when reading, it has to be said that the poems he selected were indeed considered Liu Yuxi's representative works.

There are many comments from netizens below.

"Is Awei reading so fast? You've finished reading more than two million words?"

"Awei was dancing to read, but he only reads the poems? I haven't read these poems he said yet, but I just read them and it was really well written! Especially in this poem "Looking at Dongting", the lake is light and autumn moon are in harmony, and the lake is not worn. Looking at Dongting's mountains and rivers from afar, there is a green snail in the silver plate. If you want to say that "Autumn Ci" is a masterpiece of autumn, then this poem "Looking at Dongting" is the pinnacle of autumn scenery!"

"It's a bit exaggerating to say that it's the peak. There are so many masterpieces written by ancient poets who write about autumn scenery, and they are better than this. But if you say that this is the peak of people writing about autumn scenery today, I agree."

"I like these two sentences in "Reward Lotte and Song of the Old Man", 'Don't say that the sun is too late, the sky is still full of clouds.' Alas, I'm older. If I reach Liu Yuxi's age, it would be great that I could still have such positive and optimistic attitude."

"I just read "Wuyi Lane". In the old days, the swallows in front of Wang Xie's hall flew into the homes of ordinary people. Although I don't know much about what Wang Xie is all about, I can understand the general meaning. I feel that many of Liu Yuxi's poems are quite philosophical."

As time goes by, more and more readers have joined the discussion. Some people have read it roughly, while some people have read a lot of the previous content even though they have not read the complete book.

Everyone posted their opinions online.

Someone said: "Although this book "The Legend of the Tang Dynasty" is a novel, it is actually more like a collection of poems, a collection of poems with beginnings and ends and flesh and blood!"

This view has been recognized by many people.

"Yes, I came for these poems."

"Liu Yuxi is a poet. This book is a collection of poems in Liu Yuxi wearing a novel cloak!"

"This is much more interesting than reading a collection of poems."

But soon, such a view was criticized by many readers.

"A collection of poems? Are you funny? Have you read it? Yes! There are indeed many poems in this book, but are there many articles written by others?"

"I'll go! What poetry and articles are the key points? Can't you take a closer look?"

"That's right, you didn't read it well at first sight."

"Although this book is called "Biography of Shihao", you don't really think that Liu Yuxi is a literati who writes poetry and lyrics, right? No, no, right?"

"No way, you uncle! I'm so annoyed by this sentence! Can you speak well?"

"To be honest, the people who stared at those poems and articles were too small. Teacher Ye Luo's original intention of writing this book was definitely not to write these poems and articles! Literature is the path in this book! If you read it carefully, you will find that what Teacher Ye Luo wanted to express is dissatisfaction with the darkness of the Tang Dynasty at that time and Liu Yuxi's personal excellent character."

"The pattern is small? Can't I just like to read poetry? In addition, you have a big pattern! The ancient Chinese Association says that the poems written by Liu Yuxi are good, but you know them better than the ancient Chinese Association? Do you understand the king, right?"

"Haha, don't be dissatisfied with those who talk about poetry. The poems in this book are just a decoration to highlight Liu Yuxi's personality charm! This is a novel. Are you watching those poems? Isn't it funny?"

"Go to your uncle! How many poems are there? Are you teasing me? How many poems do you call more than 800 poems?"

...

At first, the most discussed poems in the book were the poems in the book, but as more and more readers had finished reading the whole work, readers who discussed poems were later labeled as inequality by these readers.

In this way, conflicts between readers suddenly broke out.

Some people think that Liu Yuxi is a great writer, and the poems he wrote are good. Teacher Ye Luo’s book was specially created for these poems! They even brought out the Ancient Literature Association, which was promoted in this way!

Another wave of people scoffed at this view. They named the book "Biography of the Tang Dynasty Poetry and Heroes" for Teacher Ye Luo, which is just an entry point. In fact, this book focuses on describing these poems and articles at all, but shows the optimistic attitude and personal charm of the protagonist Liu Yuxi through various poems and articles, and even various worlds!

There are many people who support any view!

They are obviously fans of the same book, but now they have divided two camps.

A group of people shouted that the "Biographies of the Tang Dynasty" highlighted a poem and article. Liu Yuxi's personal experience, and even the historical background and political relationships of the entire book, are all for these poems and articles!

Another group of people are fiercely criticizing these "literary theories". They believe that the real exciting part of "The Legend of the Tang Dynasty" is Liu Yuxi himself. His optimistic attitude and noble sentiment are what Teacher Ye Luo wants to express. Which poems and articles are meant to show Liu Yuxi's personal charm.

These two groups of people quarreled online.

It's even more exaggerated than when I was a New Literature Association!

Even, not long after, the two camps split again.

Some readers who support literary theory think that Liu Yuxi's poems are the most exciting, but others think that Liu Yuxi's articles and poems are his highest literary achievements!

While they argue with readers of "protagonist theory", they also whispered to their own people.

And that's not the end. As more and more readers join, various opinions emerge one after another.

Literary Theory?

The main character theory?

Nothing is right!

What you said is wrong!

What this novel really wants to show is to criticize the dark political environment at that time and to show the sufferings of the people at the bottom of ancient society! Even more extreme readers shouted the slogan "Borrowing the past and satirizing the present"!

Even the major supporting roles in the book have a large number of fan groups.

Han Yu!

Liu Zongyuan!

Liu Gongquan!

Bai Juyi!

They attacked each other. Although there were no poems and articles of these people in the book, there were many places in the book that mentioned the various achievements of these people, including literature and calligraphy.

These supporting actor fans are also arguing endlessly.

Liu Zongyuan is amazing?

Fart! Liu Zongyuan is so powerful as Han Yu?

What is Han Yu? I, Bai Juyi, Bai Letian, is the most powerful one!

It's messy!

Completely messed up!

He is obviously a fan of a book, but now everyone is already angry on the Internet.

PS: This is a update from yesterday. It was too late yesterday. I encountered some very bad things during the day. I was very confused, alas.
