The art of Ci began to rise in the Northern and Southern Dynasties.
In the early Tang Dynasty, poetry was valued as a means of entertainment.
Although there are also great poets who write lyrics, they are all done accidentally and are not on the stage.
Poetry in this era is equivalent to serious literature that can be published in formal publications, while poetry can at best be regarded as popular entertainment or Internet jokes, and cannot reach the level of elegance.
In the Song Dynasty, poetry gradually became a literary subject that could appear on the stage.
In this era, the status of poetry was very different. At that time, people called poetry "Qu'er Ci", also known as Yuefu, with long and short sentences, which was considered a relatively relaxed and lively literary form.
Because Quer's lyrics need to be set to music, they often appear in sensual and sensual places like Goulanwashe.
However, people's attitude towards poetry is gradually changing. Nowadays, although the poet Li Bai and the poet sage Du Fu are still alive, it can be regarded as the highest peak of ancient Chinese poetry culture.
But many people who love literature have begun to accept the subject of Ci.
For example, Wei Yingwu wrote a song called "Tiaoxiao Ling" in his later years, which described the scenery of the frontier fortress and was widely sung.
Although strictly speaking, Zhou Bo said he was going to compete in poetry, and in the end he came up with a poem, which was considered a violation of his own rules.
But this poem is really well written!
The first half describes the scenery of the frontier fortress, with rich voices and emotions, and a tense atmosphere of an imminent war.
The second half of the sentence describes the soldiers guarding the border recalling their relatives in their hometown, and the last two sentences describe the pain of guarding the border.
This is in line with the identity of Zhou Bo, a candidate from Longyou.
This poem is magnificent and it is definitely a good poem that can be sung for thousands of years!
After Yan Wei finished listening to Zhou Bo's words, he immediately picked up his wine glass and said loudly:
"Brother Zhou is so talented, I admire you!"
After finishing speaking, Yan Wei drank all the wine in his glass, covered his face with his hands and went downstairs in shame.
Now the onlookers cheered again.
As the planner of an Internet celebrity company, Zhou Bo deeply understands the principle of giving up when things are good.
He waited until Yan Wei gave up and went downstairs, then said loudly:
"The poem just used up Zhou's poetic talent. It's Zhou who thinks too highly of himself!"
"If another colleague climbs the building, Zhou will not be able to write such words!"
"Today Zhou surrenders, so let's distribute the wine from Xiangfulou to everyone!"
After saying this, the guys from Xiangfulou held the wine jars and wine bowls and began to distribute the wine bowls to the onlookers.
The atmosphere became more lively, and even Wei Yingwu and Gu Kuang, who were standing behind the crowd, were given a bowl of wine.
This poem-climbing fight immediately became the hottest topic in Fengxiang Mansion.
And Zhou Bo's frontier poem also became popular in Fengxiang Mansion immediately.
The Tang Dynasty had just recovered Chang'an, although it had not yet been able to conquer Luoyang and regain the two capitals.
But it is no longer the precarious state it was before. Even the emperor issued an order to slightly extend the curfew time.
This time Zhou Bo climbed up to the Xiangfu Tower to fight poems, which happened to be at the moment when the Tang Dynasty regained Chang'an and people's hearts were restored.
This song praises the frontier warriors and describes the scenery of the frontier fortress. It also instantly won the affection of those soldiers who entered the Guanzhong to counter the rebellion.
This catchy song "The Proud Fisherman" instantly conquered the scholars in Fengxiang Mansion, and Zhou Bo became famous in one fell swoop.
After finding out that Zhou Bo lived in the Longyou Club, many dignitaries sent their families to entertain Zhou Bo, and Zhou Bo became the most famous person in the world.
Zhou Bo, who seemed honest and honest, actually had a big plastic surgery as soon as he arrived at Fengxiang Mansion.
Other players who were not willing to fall behind also started to "fix things" one after another.
According to the rules discussed along the way, each player can only "copy" five poems and articles before the imperial examination.
These five poems were all chosen by everyone. On the one hand, there are only a limited number of famous poems and articles in later generations, and scholars these days are not fools.
If you rashly come up with five poems with different styles, people will definitely suspect them of plagiarism.
So everyone carefully selected five poems with similar styles to become famous in Fengxiang Mansion.
Another concern is "sustainable development". If all the poems are copied at once, then the subsequent players will have nothing to play.
Let's just set a rule first, so that we won't copy all the poems at once.
Li Yan looked at all this with optimism. The players spontaneously formed order and formed spontaneous rules.
This also shows that players no longer see themselves as passers-by in this world, but as people who want to live in this world for a long time.
Everyone begins to pursue long-term interests, which also contributes to the stability of the player base.
Suddenly, the talents of Longyou's students attracted the attention of the entire Fengxiang Mansion. "Longyou's seventeen sons" has become a common topic among the dignitaries and common people of Fengxiang Mansion.
Zhou Bo, who "climbed the stairs to fight poems", or Zhang Le, who wrote "Don't have sorrow and hatred at this time, silence is better than sound" in Jiaofangsi, the seventeen candidates recommended by Long You have earned a lot of attention in Fengxiang Mansion
.
Princess Yanguang, who is close to the palace, is the Princess of the Tang Dynasty who is now very famous in Fengxiang Mansion. Countless scholars of the Tang Dynasty are proud to participate in her poetry meeting.
Princess Yanguang sat in the room and looked at the glass mirror in front of her.
The mirror completely reflected her appearance. Looking at her beautiful face, Princess Yanguang touched the mirror with her hand and said to the maid beside her:
"Wan'er, this glass mirror is much easier to use than the bronze mirror. I don't know where Tandi got it from. I heard that the two largest mirrors in Fengxiang Mansion now are at Queen Zhang's place, and the other is mine.
This is it.”
A maid named Wan'er grew up with Princess Yanguang. She said while combing Princess Yanguang's hair:
"If you ask me, it's better for you, princess."
Princess Yanguang asked: "Why?"
"These mirrors are all first-class, but the person reflected in our mirror looks better!"
Princess Yanguang covered her mouth and laughed. It was obvious that the maid's joke made her very happy.
Shang Bo is a considerate person. Li Yan had actually forgotten this sister for a long time, but Shang Bo thoughtfully sent gifts to the princess's house.
Princess Yanguang is now quite popular, and Shang Bo takes the initiative to visit her and proposes to sponsor Princess Yanguang to hold a poetry meeting.
At the same time, he also gave many precious gifts, saying that they were given to Princess Yanguang as prize money for the poetry festival.
However, Princess Yanguang is not a fool. It is impossible for these extremely valuable gifts to be used as prizes for the poetry festival. This is the gift given to the princess by King Jianning.
Shang Bo was so elegant in giving gifts, and Shang Bo himself was so personable, which made Princess Yanguang, whose husband and wife were not on good terms, feel slightly agitated in her heart.
The maid took out the jewelry box again, picked out a hairpin inlaid with large crystal beads, and said to Princess Yanguang:
"Lord, this hairpin given by King Jianning is so good. There is a peach blossom sealed in such flawless crystal, and there is such a wonderful gem!"
Princess Yanguang picked up the hairpin, played with it in her hand and said, "Brother Tan is interested."
Princess Yanguang is only twenty-four years old now, and is only four years older than King Jianning.
The princess' status as biological mother has also developed her ability to observe words and emotions.
Princess Yanguang was not favored at first, so she married the palace chief Pei Hui for the first time, the son of Yang Yuhuan's sister, Mrs. Guo Guo.
You must know that the princess's father, the prince, was being forced to the verge of deposing the prince by the aggressive Yang Guozhong. This marriage was more like Li Heng's surrender to Yang Guozhong.
But no one expected that during the Maweipo Mutiny, the powerful Yang Guozhong of the Tang Dynasty was killed by the rebels, and Princess Yanguang's first husband was also killed, leaving the young princess a widow.
Later, Princess Yanguang came to Lingwu with her father. Perhaps out of guilt for the daughter who was given as a gift, Li Heng began to pay attention to her daughter.
Princess Yanguang, who had been accustomed to the warmth and coldness of human relationships since she was a child, quickly grasped the needs of her father and became the apple of the emperor's eye from a little transparent princess.
It's just that the Tian family has always been ruthless. Although Princess Yanguang is now favored by the emperor, her second marriage is still a political marriage.
Remarried Princess Xinchang, the daughter of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, and Xiao Sheng, the son of Xiao Heng, the imperial servant.
The Xiao family is also a famous family. Although it is not among the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes, the Xiao family is the descendant of Xiao Yan, Emperor Wu of Liang, and many members of the family serve as ministers in the imperial court.
The maid Wan'er put the hairpin on Princess Yanguang and said:
"Your Majesty is summoning the princess to the palace at this time, which shows how much divine favor he has received!"
Princess Yanguang smiled proudly, but she also knew that her father summoned her to the palace for more than just doting on her daughter.
Princess Yanguang dressed up and entered the palace. Under the guidance of the eunuch, she met her father in the Mingzheng Hall who was correcting memorials.
Seeing Princess Yanguang, Li Heng was in a good mood. He put down his ink pen and said:
"Today is a family matter, no need to be polite."
However, Princess Yanguang still said respectfully: "The saint is well."
But Li Heng suddenly said: "It's better not to be called 'saint' in the future. I can't bear this title."
Li Heng suddenly fell into memories: "Your grandpa was the one who made you a saint. No previous emperor ever called himself a saint."
"But at that time, the Tang Dynasty was a prosperous and prosperous time when all nations came to the court. Your imperial grandfather changed the Tianbao Three Years to the Tianbao Three Years, compared himself to the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, and asked the palace people to call him a saint, but he didn't expect how much time had passed just now.
Years ago, the Tang Dynasty became like this."
Princess Yanguang just lowered her head. She was not qualified to get involved in this kind of topic.
When Li Heng finished recalling, he said: "Your poetry club is very easy to run. If there are any outstanding students from poor families, you can recommend them to me."
Princess Yanguang was overjoyed. If the person she recommended won the imperial examination, there would be more students who would take her path in the imperial examination in the future.
For a royal princess like her, her influence on the emperor is the most important, and this is also the source of her wealth.
Li Heng changed the topic and said, "Those scholars recommended by Tan'er have been making a lot of noise in Fengxiang Mansion recently. Have you invited them tomorrow?"
"Of course my daughter invited me. When the poetry meeting ends tomorrow, my daughter will send the collection of poems to the palace."
Seeing Li Heng nodding with satisfaction, Princess Yanguang knew that she was on the right track again this time.
