Video spoilers history, starting with the blitzkrieg on Poland
Chapter 850: As graceful as a startled swan, as gentle as a swimming dragon! How wonderful is the Od
The new sky screen plays continuously, which is the content related to Cao Zhi before.
The first thing that appeared on the sky screen was a very beautiful classical painting.
The camera moves slowly across the scroll.
Tianmu also slowly began to tell the story.
[If you think that the ancient expression "talented and talented" is just an exaggerated rhetoric, then you have never read Cao Zhi's "The Goddess of Luo River".]
[This extraordinary article written 1800 years ago can be regarded as a nuclear-bomb-level work in the history of Chinese literature. ]
【It not only inspired many great writers such as Li Bai and Su Shi to imitate it. 】
[It also gave rise to top-notch artworks such as Gu Kaizhi's "The Goddess of the Luo River" and Zhao Mengfu's famous calligraphy. ]
【Today, we will decode the story of this most artistic young man in the Three Kingdoms. 】
[See what kind of secret code is hidden in "The Goddess of Luo River" and why it has become a top masterpiece that has lasted for thousands of years and an immortal monument of romantic literature. ]
[Cao Zhi had a high starting point and a strong literary atmosphere in his family. ]
[During the Jian'an period, the three Cao family members supported half of the literary world. ]
[However, compared with his father Cao Cao's majestic and desolate writing and his brother Cao Pi's classical essays, Cao Zhi's literary talent is more like a miracle gift from God.]
[Historical records show that he could recite the Book of Songs, the Analects of Confucius, and the poetry of the pre-Qin and Han dynasties at the age of ten.]
【When he was twelve years old, he wrote "Tongquetai Fu" and amazed everyone. 】
[Even when Cao Cao personally gave him a test, he was able to "write something immediately, which was impressive." ]
[Literary giant Wang Can saw his "White Horse" and gave it a five-star praise, saying it was "extraordinarily high-spirited and elegant in expression."]
[In that era when scholars generally admired "hard work", Cao Zhi's creation seemed to be inspired by a spring, and his writing was like a beautiful article. ]
[This extraordinary talent earned him the nickname "Embroidered Tiger" when he was a teenager.]
[It not only describes his writing as beautiful as embroidery, but also implies that his talent is as quick as a tiger.]
[However, what really made Cao Zhi a god was his astonishing "Ode to the Goddess of Luo River".]
[According to research, this fu was written in the third year of Huangchu, when Cao Zhi had just experienced the power transition when his brother Cao Pi became emperor.]
[Because he had participated in the fight for the throne, and now that he had failed, Cao Zhi became a vassal king with restrictions everywhere. 】
[It was during this low point in his life that he passed by the bank of the Luo River and wrote this masterpiece of "Love between Man and God".]
[On the surface, this is a romantic story about an encounter with the goddess of Luo River.]
[But anyone with a discerning eye can see that every word and sentence in the text contains Cao Zhi’s political metaphors and life lamentations.]
[This technique of "using mythology to write about reality" has created a new paradigm for literary creation.]
[The opening line is "I left the capital and returned to the eastern frontier. I passed Yique, crossed Huanyuan, passed Tonggu, and climbed Jingshan." ]
[In just a few sentences, a grand geographical picture is sketched out. ]
[It is as if the readers are taking a time-travelling shuttle, following Cao Zhi's footsteps and starting from Luoyang. ]
[Then, "The sun is setting in the west, and the horses are tired and exhausted." The setting sun and the tiredness of the horses and carriages set the stage for the adventure that will follow.]
[This control of narrative rhythm is comparable to the montage technique of modern movies. ]
【Then, "The Goddess of Luo River" dropped a bombshell! 】
[“Its shape is as graceful as a startled swan and as gentle as a swimming dragon.”]
[These eight words directly define the description paradigm of all beauties in later generations. ]
On the canopy.
The first wave of barrage burst out collectively!
《The main film begins.》
《Start to recite the entire text from here. 》
《Driver: No, buddy? Let's speak Chinese?》
"So the source of the poet He's commentary is here?"
"If I were to write about my sister-in-law, it would be really amazing."
"Three Kingdoms Killing players said that they can actually memorize a few lines after playing it many times."
And in the Warring States Period.
Qu Yuan also put away his initial carefree attitude and began to seriously appreciate the writings of geniuses of later generations.
At the same time, he exclaimed in surprise:
"Just from these first few sentences, we can already get a glimpse of the level of Cao Zhi in later generations."
"No wonder the last paragraph said that asking Cao Zhi to compose a poem in seven steps was not a challenge."
"How could someone who can write this kind of text find it difficult to compose a poem in seven steps?"
While sighing, Qu Yuan looked at the sky more seriously.
Looking forward to the follow-up content of "The Goddess of Luo River".
……
The content of the sky screen also began to improve with the explosion of barrage.
[What really makes people feel desperate is the following text effects. ]
[When Cao Zhi described the appearance of Mi Fei, the goddess of Luo River, "her hair was as if light clouds were covering the moon, and her hair was as if snow was blown by the wind."]
[This kind of description of the interplay of reality and illusion makes the image of the Goddess of Luo River both clear and hazy, as if separated by a layer of gauze.]
【The more you watch, the more fascinating it becomes. 】
[The later painter Gu Kaizhi was shocked by this text and created the pinnacle of Chinese art history, "The Picture of the Goddess of Luo River", which shows the strong artistic appeal.]
[“From a distance, it is as bright as the sun rising in the morning glow; from close up, it is as bright as a lotus emerging from the green waves.”]
[From a distance, it is the morning sun, and from a close distance, it is the lotus flowers emerging from the water. This 360-degree description is rare in ancient Chinese literature.]
[Just writing static content is not enough. ]
【The following dynamic beauty is even more top-notch. 】
【“She walks lightly on the water, her silk stockings are covered with dust.” 】
[The mist splashed by the goddess of Luo River when she walked on the water was described as "the light dust raised by her silk stockings."]
[This kind of synaesthesia rhetoric made later writers call it a foul. ]
【But the true value of "The Goddess of Luo River" goes far beyond the rhetoric. 】
【When we interpret it in depth, we will find that this fu is actually Cao Zhi's spiritual confession. 】
[The line "There is no good matchmaker to bring us together, so I rely on the waves to communicate" seems to be describing the obstacles to the love between humans and gods, but in fact it is expressing the frustration of being unable to realize political ambitions. ]
[“Sighing at the loneliness of the gourd, and chanting at the solitude of the morning glory”, on the surface it is talking about the loneliness of the immortals, but in fact it is a metaphor for the situation of his own talent not being recognized. ]
[“I hate the different ways of people and gods, and resent the passing of my prime years.” What gushed out between the lines is clearly the blood and tears of a political loser.]
[“Although I am hiding in the moon, I always place my heart in the emperor’s heart” is a clear self-recommendation letter to Cao Pi.]
[This writing technique of "the words are here but the meaning is there" transforms political trauma into an aesthetic peak.]
【It makes "The Goddess of Luo River" transcend the scope of ordinary love literature. 】
【It becomes the key to interpret Cao Zhi's inner world. 】
[In later generations, countless talented but unappreciated literati and poets, who were frustrated in politics, expressed their feelings through writing. ]
[I often think of this poem "Ode to the Goddess of Luo River".]
[What is even more incredible is the cross-dimensional influence of "The Goddess of Luo River", from the parallel prose of the Southern Dynasties to the poetry of the Tang and Song Dynasties, from the Yuan Dynasty drama to the novels of the Ming and Qing Dynasties.]
【Its shadow can be seen everywhere. 】
【Gu Kaizhi, a painter from the Eastern Jin Dynasty, was so impressed after reading "The Goddess of Luo River" that he created the first Chinese painting adapted from literature, "The Goddess of Luo River". 】【The moment in the painting where Cao Zhi and the Goddess of Luo River look at each other across the water was later called "the furthest 18 centimeters". 】
[Li Bai's "Water lilies emerge from clear water, naturally free of decoration" borrowed from Cao Zhi's fresh style of writing;]
[Su Shi reproduced the sentence pattern of "floating like a loner isolated from the world" in "Preface to the Red Cliff". ]
[Even when Jin Yong wrote about the appearance of Little Dragon Girl, he did not forget to pay tribute to the classic template of "bright as the sun rising in the morning glow." ]
[Zhong Rong, a literary critic of the same period, gave him the highest praise in his "Poetry Appreciation" that "Chen Si's contribution to writing is like Zhou and Confucius' contribution to human relations."]
[It means that Cao Zhi's position in the literary world is equivalent to Confucius' position in Confucianism.]
[Even his political opponent Cao Pi had to submit. ]
[In his "Classic Theory", he admitted that "literati look down on each other" is a common problem, but when he mentioned his brother's articles, he was unusually silent. ]
【But even such a literary giant had a life full of tragedy. 】
[“Sacrificing one’s life for the country, treating death as returning home”, hides his burning desire to put on armor and guard his country;]
[The seven-step poem "We are of the same root, why are we so eager to hurt each other" fully expresses the helplessness of brothers killing each other;]
[His cry of "I don't want to stay idle, I am willing to serve the country" shows his ambition to achieve great things. 】
[Unfortunately, fate played tricks on him. Cao Zhi never realized his political ambitions and eventually died in depression.]
【Perhaps it is precisely this kind of imperfection in life that has made him a great writer. Just like the Venus de Milo, imperfection makes him more tragic and great.】
The video ends here.
Barrages of comments flew out:
……
"Li Bai's idol is Xie Lingyun, and Xie Lingyun's idol is Cao Zhi."
"It's really awesome. It's all four-character syllables, and they all rhyme and describe the characters vividly."
《Is it great? It's just so-so.》
"It's just a bunch of fancy words, so-so."
"Don't be ridiculous. The word cihua is the source of this article."
"Some people say that parallel prose is exaggerated and flashy, so they criticize the Goddess of the Luo River. In fact, the Goddess of the Luo River is the pioneer of this phenomenon. "
"Is Cao Zhi's literary level...better than mine?"
"So Cao Pi's decision to allow Cao Zhi to become a general in seven steps was as much as the Pacific Ocean."
Cao Zhi: Goddess of Luo River. Me: My sister-in-law is so beautiful.
《Hot knowledge: Goddess of Luo River has nothing to do with Zhen Ji.》
Cao Pi: Does anyone else think I am making things difficult for my brother? Answer me!
"Oh my god, are Cao Zhi and I still the same species?"
"It's over. There are so many things I don't understand. Am I illiterate?"
"Boss Cao's genes are quite strong."
"The writing is good, but it's still a little behind the comments section."
……
And outside the sky.
Early Han Dynasty.
Liu Bang crossed his legs, slightly tipsy, and leisurely admired the Goddess of Luo River on the sky curtain.
I also feel it is extremely enjoyable.
"This boy from the Cao family who usurped the Han Dynasty is actually good at speaking sweet words!"
"As graceful as a startled swan, as graceful as a swimming dragon?"
"Back when I was living in Pei County, I also saw many beauties, but none of them said such sour words as this one!"
"Although you are a king, a general or a minister, literary talent is not the most important thing."
"But I have to say, this guy's literary talent is really top-notch."
"Compared to when I sang a few vulgar songs to Cao in the tavern, this is much more elegant."
But in the late Han Dynasty.
Liu Bei looked intently at the contents of the sky curtain.
His face was full of surprise and empathy, and he said with a look of melancholy:
"This poem by Cao Zijian expresses so much deep affection and helplessness!"
"Although this poem is beautiful, it implies Cao Zhi's sadness at not being able to achieve his ambitions."
"I don't know what the inheritance relationship of their family will be like after the death of Cao the thief in the north?"
"But from the content of the sky curtain here, we can basically judge that Cao Pi should have inherited Cao Cao's position and suppressed his brothers."
"Although Cao Zhi is the son of that thief Cao."
"But I still feel deeply connected to his depression and frustration in his poem 'The Goddess of Luo River'."
Other ancient people after the Three Kingdoms period, especially those who were good at literature.
Naturally, you are familiar with the poem "The Goddess of Luo River" which has been passed down through the ages.
After seeing the special introduction by Tianmu, one can only feel that this poem "The Goddess of Luo River" is indeed of great value.
And at this moment.
Boss Cao was smiling from ear to ear.
Although the content on the sky curtain said that Cao Pi succeeded to the throne after his death and suppressed Cao Zhi.
This is a fight between brothers.
But Boss Cao also knows.
No matter which son succeeds to the throne, the political status of other sons will eventually be weakened.
Otherwise the world will be in chaos.
In fact, Cao Cao had psychologically anticipated this.
So I won’t be angry because of this.
After all, he only suppressed his political status and made him a leisurely prince, but he did not really kill all his brothers.
What really made Cao Cao happy.
The beauty of the words in "The Goddess of Luo River" is so stunning!
As a literary figure, how could Cao Cao not see the value of "The Goddess of Luo River"?
The key is this poem "The Goddess of Luo River".
It was written by my own son!
For a writer, this is a great achievement.
This also made Cao Cao very happy, and he couldn't help but burst into laughter:
"Hahahaha, my son Jian's literary talent is worthy of an emperor."
"You really make me proud!"
"No matter how the world develops in the future."
"Whether the Han Dynasty can be revived or not, what will happen to the Wei Dynasty?"
"But just based on this poem of Goddess of Luo River, I will die without regrets!" (End of this chapter)
