Chapter 87 Knowing everything

Speaking of this, the old man's words also returned to the topic.

"What do you think, from the perspective of young people, can we make traditional culture more prosperous? At least, let it decline more slowly. As an old man, I hope I can still see a little bit of prosperity before I close my eyes.

Seed it!”

"This topic is a bit big. You really think highly of me, a smart young man."

"Haha, just say it boldly, it's okay, let's chat casually."

"Um……"

Rubbing his chin and thinking for a moment, Jin Shangcai said hesitantly,

"Then let's take the poems and songs mentioned earlier as an example! There is a poem, although it is not very appropriate, but I think it still has some merit..."

"tell me the story?"

"The misfortune of the country is a great blessing for the poet, and it is easy to write a sentence about the vicissitudes of life. This poem is actually very problematic. It is a bit too biased to describe the misfortune of the family and the country as a great blessing for the poet. But..."

"It is indeed easier for a poet to write good works when his life is unsatisfactory. Poems express ambitions, and words express feelings! Lamenting the old events of the family and country, criticizing the current ills, poor official career, separation of feelings, talking about old age, poverty, and sorrow, in the end it all boils down to

Expression of ambition. Such poems, lyrics, and rhymes account for most of the famous works handed down from generation to generation..."

Although Mr. Qu is old, his thinking is still very sharp, and he quickly noticed the unfinished meaning in Jin Shang's words.

Mountains and rivers are broken, wind and rain are swaying, and troubled times are drifting. Most poets are not living well. Touching the scenery, expressing feelings for the mountains and rivers, and writing poems and songs have become the best way to resolve their emotions. And many people in later generations are talking about poetry.

Are there those sad feelings of spring and autumn?

"The old man is a sensible man, so I said it bluntly. Personally, I hope there will be less "burdened by the vicissitudes of life". The people are living a good life, and 'everyone' is prosperous.'

The small family is prospering, and it is normal that poems that touch the weakest, most sensitive, and most tragic strings deep in the heart, whether ancient poems or modern poems, cannot be written. The misfortune of the poet is the great fortune of the country!"

"Okay! Well said!"

After Jin Shang said the last sentence, Mr. Qu seemed to be enlightened and figured it out instantly. He pointed at Jin Shang with a slightly trembling finger in excitement,

"I have been thinking about it for so many years and still haven't understood it. I didn't expect to be taught a lesson by you, a little brat. It's unfortunate for poetry and great luck for the country. If there are really good works that say 'words don't startle but never end', we need to worry even more. Those who are full of food

The more nonsense the so-called poems written by people who have nothing to do, the better! The more the better! If today’s people just like to dig through piles of old papers and talk about the so-called retro that we old guys admire, what does that mean?”

Jin Shang curled his lips and replied casually:

"What else could it be? I'm not having a good time now!"

Optimists look to the future, while pessimists look to the past.

How many eras have reached a dead end and implemented reforms in the name of "retrospection"?

There is no need to explain it deliberately, just look through the history books and compare them, and you will understand everything.

If you use copper as a mirror, you can straighten your clothes; if you use history as a mirror, you can know the ups and downs; if you use people as a mirror, you can know gains and losses.

Jin Shang and Mr. Qu were talking about poetry, but they were not just talking about poetry.

Mr. Qu seemed to be very happy, his face flushed. After calming down, he asked again:

"What you said... does make sense! But, in this way, you seem very abrupt. Why are you so good at ancient poetry? You don't look like the kind of person who has a bad life. Be proud.

, you are a bit naughty and have a lot of ideas, but you won’t accumulate so much dissatisfaction and write many masterpieces, right?”

"Someone has asked similar questions before, and I always answered them this way..."

Jin Shang, who was well prepared, smiled and replied,

"Articles are made by nature, but come by chance."

"Does God mean to reward you with food? That's fine. Since this poem is pretty good, I won't ask."

Mr. Qu seemed to be very satisfied today. He was about to end the conversation when he seemed to remember something and suddenly asked,

"By the way, I heard that you also have an unpublished piece called "Shui Tiao Ge Tou". Is this true?"

"The lyrics, music and singers have been selected. Tomorrow will be the first recording trial to see the effect."

There is nothing to hide about this. Anyway, it is not a long time until it is released. When will Mei Fengchun sing to Jin Shang’s satisfaction? When will the single be released? And then the instant messaging and dating software will be launched for the Mid-Autumn Festival - Jinxi Do

Warm up.

"It's not far away. I wonder if I'll be lucky enough to have a sneak peek..."

Doesn’t this mean that you can’t risk advertising unpublished works?

How has it changed?

Jin Shang looked in the direction of Zhu Jingxiao, this was different from what he said before!

On the other side, Director Zhu Jingxiao seemed to be caught off guard. After hesitating for a moment, he simply made a feasible gesture.

"Is this okay? Then I don't care!"

Jin Shang, who was going back and forth in his mind, also realized that the old man named Qu in front of him probably had a lot of background, otherwise Zhu Jingxiao, a capable woman, wouldn't have made an exception for this?

"Yes, yes! However, the music requires piano and string ensemble to perform, and the conditions on site do not allow it, so I won't mention it. I can show you the lyrics..."

As he spoke, Jin Shang took out a neatly folded painting from his arms. After unfolding it, there was a picture with a full moon hanging on a branch in the background and a few lines of poetry written in the blank space.

This is one of the promotional posters designed by Kim Sang Rang's company, and I keep it with me just in case.

Upon seeing this, the photographer quickly zoomed in for a close-up so that the guests on the sidelines could see the content on the paper through the big screen in the studio.

"When will the bright moon come? Ask the sky for wine..."

Mr. Qu joked while watching,

"Xiao Jin, you often drank in bars secretly? At such a young age, you are really dishonest..."

The word "wine" has been mentioned several times before. It is obviously not a good habit for a teenager who has just become an adult.

Jin Shang just smiled and did not answer.

This kind of thing becomes darker and darker as it is described, so it’s hard to say much.

This body's physical quality is actually not bad. Jin Shang has tried it a long time ago. Although he is not an alcoholic, his drinking capacity is really good. Even without the "Golden Finger" to protect him, he rarely gets drunk.

Mr. Qu, who was chanting while watching, didn't really think about blaming Jin Shang for anything. He just said it casually and then focused on the lyrics.

Soon, Mr. Qu, who became more and more surprised as he watched, no longer cared about Jin Shang's little things.

"How can you still write Mid-Autumn Festival poems like this? You think of yourself as a deity descended from the earth. A normal person would not be able to write such a poem without being drunk. It's pretty good, very good, very good..."

In fact, Mr. Qu doesn't know how to describe it accurately enough. At first glance, this poem seems to be a bit biased towards remembering relatives and friends and the melancholy of frustrated parting. If you taste it carefully, it has a strong flavor of Mid-Autumn Festival blessings, and it can be seen between the lines.

With an open-minded and heroic spirit.

“It’s enough to write one poem like this in a lifetime!”

This song "Shui Tiao Ge Tou: When Will the Bright Moon Come" does not quote any scriptures. Anyone who has experienced nine years of compulsory education can basically understand its superficial meaning.

When young people write articles, they always have to find chapters and excerpts to show their ability. This cannot be said to be wrong, but it is just that writing in this way creates obstacles for ordinary people to read for no reason, which is not conducive to the spread of the article.

What can be thrown out by Jin Shang are all classics that have passed the test of time and have endured for nearly a thousand years. It is inevitable that they will be catchy and move people's hearts.

"I was originally going to make a few comments, but after thinking about it I decided to forget it and let time test its quality! I also want to see why the beautiful poems that we have sung for thousands of years have declined! It is because they are outdated and abandoned by the times.

, we are still not good enough to write poems and songs that the people like to hear and see..."

This is a very grand statement. I have experienced the old times and met many elderly people who have gone through vicissitudes of life along the way. I have a deep feeling.

Whether it is the times that are not good enough or people are not good enough, this song "Shui Tiao Ge Tou·When will the bright moon come" is the best touchstone.

"I have learned a lot today. I am grateful to the program team for the invitation, and also to the two children for speaking freely, which has benefited me a lot. In the past, there were always people criticizing us old-school cultural people for being out of touch with the soil where we grew up. We no longer know what people's lives are like nowadays.

Now, I am very satisfied to see what today’s outstanding young people are thinking and doing.”

"I have no problem."

Amid the applause, Mr. Qu sat down calmly and said nothing.

Next, the host Wu Chan took over the initiative, and several more questions were asked from the audience, and Jin Shang and Lu Liao both answered them in a very compromising manner.

The recording time has actually been exceeded a long time ago. It is impossible to keep so many shots, and some of them will be cut out.

The decision-making power on which content will be broadcast rests with Zhu Jingxiao.

Before the end, after Jin Shang and Lu Liao expressed their blessings to the students who were about to take the college entrance examination, the host Wu Chan announced the end.

The lights in front of the camera lens were turned off. Jin Shang, who had been sitting upright for more than an hour, moved his somewhat stiff neck.

"I'm exhausted. Recording a program turns out to be a laborious job."

"My body is fine, but I'm mentally stressed. You're just not used to it. You'll get used to it after a few more visits."

Wu Chan asked the staff to bring a few bottles of mineral water and handed them to Jin Shang and Lu Liao. She also took a few sips to moisten her throat.

"Get used to it? I don't expect it! Except for the staff who have joined the job, I haven't seen anyone who really comes here often."

Jin Shang habitually took out his mobile phone and looked at the time.
