Whether to still live about old system poem go down, have a lot of controversies. Lu Xun says " ancient poetry has been written to Tang Dynasty " , opinion of his old system poem to Song Yi hind is very low, although he himself often also keeps a few with a strict tonal pattern and rhyme scheme.
Really Tang Dynasty emerge in large numbers large quantities of one crackajack poets such as content of easy like Li Bai, Du Fu, white house, Wang Bo, Wang Wei, Cen Can, Li He, Lu Zhaolin, Wei Ying. That is the times with the most brilliant Tang Dynasty, it is the style that a times has a period. Song Dai has a word, yuan era has music, bright generation has text of a story, clear generation has novel, this is the literature that belongs to their times.
In light of us " Tang poetry 300 " , the poem that will compare other dynasty again is made, cannot contend to it really. But come nearly ten years, the evidence that word of old system poem revives, each district establishs poetic word society, publish relevant journal, although cannot reach the peak of Tang Dynasty, also be word of flourishing age poem to promote.
See an article a few days ago, it is the article that the Su Wei that teaching in the Yale at present writes, special praise highly an old farmer of county of hill of stage of a Guangdong, call Cheng Jianfu. This old farmer had died in 80 time end, he keeps 100 poems word. By Su Wei praise for " contemporary Du Fu " .
A few when he cites here sentence everybody looks to still have much further space from Du Fu:
"Idle of military forces freely sees Yi, river day a simple move or action alone put one's hand to the plough " . "Late wind is blown knit cold hall water, yao mirrors the grain on forehead of mountain old man " . "Guest bursa is like water deficient unpleasant attack by surprise, fu face if frost laugh is rarer " . "Offend a snow 10 years for nothing, sit alone feel ashamed sees two legs mashed vegetable or fruit " . "Wen Shirong be havinged the dream is ripe, the meal becomes aware without full day bowel is wide " . "20 years the thing is gone to difficult turn one's head, laugh at a lip to open tooth having surplus " . "Year old not wide poll gradually white, the day can contain my key point eventually green " . "Half world end can be complete my section, 100 intelligent do not pick up person tooth " .
Allegedly the poem of this old farmer is made mix in Tang poetry to also be carried do not come out, I feel this word has bit of overpraise, although he is written unlike doggerel, but be being returned than doing Du Fu is some overpraise.
