The vertical pen is horizontal, and everything is new
*Appreciation of the Ming poetry collection "The Wild Goose in the Sky".
Thirty years ago, when I was working in a unit in Eguchi, I met Mr. **Ming, a literary all-rounder full of youthful passion and a high reputation. He has published a new collection of poems, "Lanxi Grass" and "Branches and Buds". I finished the two books in one go, and they were full of love for literature and longing for the world, all of which made me feel great inspiration and artistic nourishment. Because many of the ideas in the book seem to coincide with my literary opinions and ideals. Every time we meet and get together, there are always endless topics to talk about, and endless words ......Later, ** Ming successively published two poetry collections, "Wild Lily" and "Stars, Still Twinkling". Contains thousands of poems on emotional themes. With surging feelings, the author gathers the rich seven emotions and six desires in his heart, sings and sings indulgently, and expresses the infinite feelings in his heart. The subject matter is all-encompassing, absorbing all the customs of the world in poetry, using the most concise language, describing the richest life variety, and is called "love saint". In my opinion, Mr. Ming is completely a contemporary "expert in expressing colorful love poems in the form of poetry, which is rich in emotion, inexhaustible, and inexhaustible in writing". There have been more than that.
On New Year's Day in 2024, another large collection of poems by the poet ** Ming "The Wild Goose in the Sky" came out. This book includes more than 15,000 pieces of quatrains, rhythmic poems, rhythmic poems, long and short sentences, as well as couplets, cifu, new poems, etc., which are sprinkled with joy, and the content of the poems is everywhere in the world. His works are sincere in emotion, rich in feelings, beautiful in language, full of a strong sense of the times and the main theme of social civilization, and contain healthy and lively educational and cultural significance. Each poem is endowed with a distinct ideological theme, which can be described as a poem and a world, a poem and a landscape, and has a unique aesthetic value. Every time I chant one or two poems, a wave of beauty and feelings pour into my heart like a warm current.
The name of the poetry collection "The Wild Goose in the Sky" is based on the precious spiritual strength of the ancient people who are not afraid of hardships and dangers and move forward bravely, and it is a metaphor for the poet's perseverance, tenacity, and conservation in his decades of literary creation, overcoming many difficulties, and carrying forward the heroic spirit of perseverance. For decades, we have been cultivating the literary garden day by day, struggling endlessly, cultivating more than once, accumulating over time, accumulating sand into a tower, compiling into this heavy collection of poems integrating literature, education and culture.
First of all, let's enjoy the poet's ancient work "Baiduan Emotional Song of Peach Blossoms". In traditional Chinese culture, peach blossoms have rich symbolism and profound meanings, with a slight meaning of warding off evil spirits, love, and a beautiful life full of spring. With full humanistic care and creative enthusiasm, the poet indulges in the potential meaning of peach blossoms, endows life with a variety of forms, and depicts the customs of the world. The poet borrows the lyricism of things, borrows the scenery to express his nostalgia, takes the peach blossom as the ontology, fully excavates the people and things related to it, and depicts the vivid image of the peach blossom in an all-round and multi-faceted way - "the beautiful body of Qiong Yao, the delicate red and bright New Year." It's like a concubine smiling, and the fairy Shu is silently ......"What a vivid and vivid description, what a warm and delicate beauty carving, giving people a beautiful enjoyment. Then he sang praises, "I love peach blossoms, and the words are frequent." Yujing is beautiful in the water, and the peach blossoms love the red dust. "Imagination is rich, association is excessive, and it praises the incomparable amazement and inner beauty of peach blossoms, and even beautiful wishes, good expectations ......The poet wrote more than 90 sentences, which seemed to be unfinished, and created a long poem with a similar theme, "Dreaming of Peach Blossoms Sincerely", taking beautiful dreams as philosophical thoughts, and praising the reverie and fantasy of peach blossoms in the poet's dreamland. However, the words from the depths of my heart - "The peach blossoms are full of good fate, only I know what you are like". The infatuated poet who loves flowers is overflowing with words, which is really enviable. Perhaps it is the change of time and space, the poet's thoughts have changed, and then he has made a profound description of the surface and the inside of the peach blossom. This time, the more thoughtful and profound aria, entitled "Peach Blossom Fairy", uses more than 160 rhymes to express the peach blossom as a "fairy" in a three-dimensional way, vividly personifying the peach blossom to the characters.
Re-reading the poet's rhythmic poems, in addition to strictly abiding by the law, being in order, and expressing his heart freely, he skillfully selects the precise language that can best reflect people and things from the huge Chinese characters, and can profoundly express the truth, goodness and beauty of things, and extremely clearly highlight the main meaning of the poems to be reflected. The poet cherishes ink like gold, the words are simple and rich, and the substantive and true meaning is broken out in one sentence. Strive to be vivid and realistic, god-like Bixiao, vivid and expressive. This is the ideal goal that the poet pursues. For example, in one of the "Three Poems of Li Fan, the Late Principal of Puyi Middle School", poems:
Welcome to commemorate the arrival of the hundred years, and the loving voice is in the hearts of the people.
The performance of the apricot altar is a great praise, and Fan Chuide is looking up and singing.
Urging students to be rich and talented, and happy to pick up pearls to explore the depths of the sea.
Realize the dream to donate wisdom, comfort the gentleman with a smile and a hundred Fanglin.
The poems are sincere, heartfelt words, and indulge in expressing gratitude and virtue to the teacher, which leaps on the paper.
The poet admired the historical celebrity Su Dongpo to the ground, loved many of Su's many popular immortal poems, and turned into a poem to praise Su Dongpo's moral emblem and outstanding heroic masterpieces with a sense of enthusiasm in his heart, and then created a poem of "Su Dongpo" seven laws, expressing his heart, the poem said: "Poetry has been admired by Dongpo since childhood, and the beautiful words and chapters are enchanted. Xizi Lake is shocked, and Mizhou Moon is full of heart. Suggestion was unjustly imprisoned, and the martyred poem ran to the surging river. The nostalgic brocade praises the red cliffs, and there are still endless Kyushu songs. "It depicts Dongpo's glorious life, splendid historical achievements, and literary brilliance in an all-round way. The words are full of strong thoughts and feelings. With the same poetic sentiment and rich tone, the poet eulogized the writers Qu Yuan, Du Fu, Li Shangyin, Tang Yin, Cao Xueqin, etc., as well as many Yi philosophers. He also created the 12 hairpins of Jinling, the 24 filial piety, the 24 scenes of Putian, the 24 scenes of the new Putian, "one village and one poem in Hagilu Town", nostalgia, seasonal solar terms, etc., as well as many songs and poems. In the meantime, ** Ming had a deep love for the "Guo's Three Filial Piety Ancestral Hall" in Hanjiang, and on the occasion of the completion of the ancestral hall, he wrote poems to celebrate. The poem says:
The ancestors are filial piety, and the green onions and flowers are spitting Qingfen.
The mercy and death vomited red blood, and the spirit guarded the miserable clouds.
Tears in nine days to remove the father's disease, the birth of two moles containing poems.
The name hangs like a bird that has been passed down through the ages, and the incense burns in the dawn.
Due to the limitation of the number of words, he can express the words of the mind in concise sentences, and the logic is rigorous, express the chest, express the will, mind, long-cherished wish, and spirit of the heart, reflecting the poet's ideological realm and moral sentiments, more of an understanding and interpretation of the world, expressing a positive spirit, promoting positive energy, showing the poet's cultivation and realm of transcendence, deeply reflecting the sense of the times, reflecting the artistic characteristics of ancient poetry. There is a group of landscape poems in the collection, which I am afraid is to read the emotional works from the works of landscape painters, and to comprehend them, which can be used as an understanding of the theme of landscape paintings, and can also be used as a spiritual understanding outside the topic of the paintings, making a deep interpretation. The poet has created 233 poems on the same theme, and his works are realistic and imaginary, affectionate and freehand, form and god, with associative pen and ink clues, imaginary imagery, simulacrum metaphor and interchange, exaggerated duality, columns, intertextuality, allusions, contrasts and other rhetorical techniques. In the works of reading, drawing and writing poetry, the techniques are rich and varied. Of course, it also kneaded into a lot of its own subjective meaning, and exerted its unique dialectical thinking, and its artistic conception was naturally broad and open-minded. As it is: "The river bends around the mountain, and the beautiful scenery opens with the eyes." Embraced in the arms of the mighty Qiankun, it has become an atmosphere of eloquence. "It not only describes the scenery, but also expresses emotions, looking forward to a better future, and is full of a strong sense of the times. Another example: "Nine days of thunderbolt Jiang River poured, the destruction of the mountains and shocks." But see the calm green trees, the roots are deep and afraid of the waterfall. "The combination of movement and static, between virtual and real, depicts a vivid and lively landscape painting. In the meantime, the author pins his good expectations on a sincere mood, which is obscure and profound, full of interest and meaning, giving people philosophical feelings or thoughts. Readers all get the feeling of spring breeze and rain, like the enjoyment of spring breeze.
What is particularly eye-catching in the collection is a group of more than 1,000 songs and seven unique songs in the series of "Landscape Paintings". The poet reads and appreciates the landscape works of the painter's mountain songs, and he happily inscribes poems, never repeating, always using different pictures, different customs, seasons, objects and humanities to create poems rich in life moods. For example: "Two mountains face each other and a stream runs, and the weather is infinitely changing." Spring is warm, summer is hot and autumn is getting colder, and winter plums and snow linger in the village". Another example: "The color of the tree is green, the shadow of the tree is delicate, and the water waves are turquoise and shisha floating." The stone is hard and the stone is mossy, and the characters are auspicious. "Poetry and writing borrow things to express lyricism, and support things and words. Another example: "When spring arrives at the rivers and mountains, the eyes are vibrating." Hurry up and write a good article to thank Dongjun for his kindness. "The love is sincere and happy, so that the scenery, the feeling, and the environment can achieve water melting. The scenery in the poem coincides with the objects in the painting, and the scene embodies a distant and complex state of mind, and the two are in harmony with each other. This kind of painting and poetry are highly integrated and complementary, and abound in more than a thousand poems. We know that the mountains and rivers of the world are closely related to human life; The flowers and trees, mountains and rocks and streams of nature always carry people's spiritual virtues and moral sentiments, and they look forward to wishes and expectations. The poet ** Ming always holds this kind of ideological attitude, maintains in the scene of all things in the world, indulges his feelings, sings a song, and expresses his heart. And put the inherent goodness and beauty in his heart in the poems, inheriting the traditional etiquette culture and moral civilization of the Chinese nation. It is true that this is also the poet's heartfelt expression of his love for nature, his deep enthusiasm for the natural landscape and the cultural landscape, his cultivation of Ji Yu Muji and the profound knowledge of Piri Yangqiu, and then the gentleman's demeanor of admiration for culture and art, and the precious feelings of love and kindness, loyalty and sincerity, sing the world and release the world. Sinai emphasized the importance of the premise of "cultivating the mind". Confucius said: "Ambition is in the Tao, according to virtue, according to benevolence, and in art." "First of all, there is a poet's broad, benevolent, and kind heart, and then he is qualified to gallop in the sea of art. Then read 10,000 books, travel 10,000 miles, and study in morality. In the face of thousands of colorful objects, with true feelings, accompanied by the infection of beauty, the edification of love, and more importantly, the moral mind and wisdom power take root in the depths of the heart. In the process of creation, he is always in the process of protecting, promoting and creating beauty. All of them have good intentions, manage the artistic conception, and strive to achieve a high degree of harmony between painting and poetry, to achieve perfection, but also to be truly moving, to be touching, to educate people with beauty, to give people endless elegant enjoyment.
The poet is nostalgic for the scenery of his hometown, and expresses his love and praise for his hometown with poetry. For example, "Four Songs of Mulanpi" Seven Uniques, one of which says:
The merits of the sages shined, and Lanxi worked hard.
The former servants and the latter have finally succeeded, and the famous state has been blessed since then.
In the Seven Uniques of "Yanshou Creek", he borrowed things to express his nostalgia and expressed his incomparable love and nostalgia for the mountains and rivers of his hometown. Poetry: "From the deep mountains and mighty streams, the harvest of Changzi Plains Valley." The sweet stream water can eliminate the disease, prolong the life of Kangningle and white heads. On the occasion of the whole country commemorating the 69th anniversary of the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japan, the poet was full of emotion, shared the same hatred of the enemy, and wrote sonorous and powerful poems to express a patriotic heart. The poem said: "The splendid rivers and mountains are golden, how can you allow ** Kou to invade." After eight years of bloodshed, I finally saw the sound of China. With the same patriotic fervor, the poet denounced the "** elements, but wrote that "Yao Bang is inseparable, and the clouds are auspicious." ** Blocking the car mantis arm is like a moth to the fire is sadly burning". There are words and sounds.
In view of the emotional subject matter of poetry, ** is handy and easy to use. Its themes are roughly "love", "affection", "Xu Xin", "show affection", "affection", "shame", "courage and perseverance", "hatred", "Sijun", "pride", "persistence", "non-bitterness", "calmness", "envy", "sorrow", "sorrow", ......And so on. With rich and colorful feelings, express the seven emotions and six desires in the heart. Use philosophical speculation, psychological mysteries, sensory stimulation, and emotional speculation to write true feelings and sincerity. In addition, there are many ...... about congratulations, praises, chanting, remembrance, nostalgia, memoirs, objects, and descriptionsAll-encompassing, all-encompassing, all-encompassing. However, ** Ming's poems are all from the heart, whether it is a poem about writing people, or a poem about a record or a thing, they are all digging out the heart and lungs, searching the heart, and speaking out, not spitting out unpleasantness, and expressing it with all their hearts. This has something to do with his personality and his cultivation. Especially it is closely related to his "three views" realm. No wonder he is a person born in a special era, who has suffered from wind and frost, and has eaten the sweet, salty, sour, and bitter of the fireworks in the world.
Finally, let's talk about Mr. Ming's new poetry works. This type of poetry has a wide range of themes, far-reaching artistic conceptions, and profound connotations, including all kinds of people in life, such as life, ugliness, and quietness, and so on. In particular, the work has a deep connotation, provoking the mind, excavating the heart, revealing the heart, revealing the heart, opening the heart, revealing the heart, revealing the heart, ingenious, explaining the heart, and expanding ......the heartSome of the writing methods are straightforward, some are obscure and metaphorical, and some expose the bottom of the pot and expose the bottom line. In the expression of a state of mind that is difficult to complain, he often uses the technique of questioning or rhetorical questioning, and the words are still unfinished, obscure and implicit, and the words are in the middle of the meaning. There is a group of love poems, such as this: "The beauty of love is far better than the beautiful Toad Palace, not only the fragrant osmanthus flowers, but also the romantic poetry of the lonely Chang'e can envy the love saint." Analogy and association intersect, feel and experience interaction, reading it is like drinking sweet springs, and even falling in love ......
All in all, Mr. Ming is a knowledgeable and talented poetry writer, who has a wide range of knowledge, a broad vision, is diligent in thinking, accurately judges the truth and falsity of things, and has wise and clear thinking. He is a person full of self-confidence, and has self-improvement, self-respect, self-love, and self-victory, and this kind of character and temperament is worthy of envy. He said in the "Afterword": "Life is advancing, the perception is rich, and the poetry is surging. If so, life is not lonely, nor is it a boundless sea of suffering, let alone a spring dream. "He is over the age of old, his temperament is still young, and his passion for literary creation is still the same as that of the past, like a lively child. He has a long story in hand that is being prepared for publication, and he is a veritable literary infatuator, a literary pious, and a literary trendsetter......
