Chapter 5 The Sunflower in Qingqing Garden

When Ji Kang saw everyone like this, he sighed, "I have been passed down from generation to generation for thousands of years!"

As younger generations, the eldest brothers Ji Xi and Ji Kang have a noble status. However, they do not have the right to speak too much at this dining table! They can only listen to everyone talking silently.

Everyone talks about astronomy and geography, and somehow they talk about poetry.

Mr. Zou Yan sighed and said to everyone: "...In my opinion, the current poetry should be led by Mr. Qu Yuan, the Chu State who left the old state. His works "Li Sao", "Nine Songs", "Nine Chapters", "Tianwen", etc. are also great success, breaking through the old pattern of four-word sentences, which can be said to be the first to create poetry!"

Mr. Lu Zhonglian also nodded and praised: "Mr. Qu Yuan's poetry is inspiring, with ups and downs, rich imagination, and magnificent lyrics. It really sets the forefront of poetry in a generation."

Speaking of this, he sighed: "But it's a pity that Mr. Qu Yuan had no way to serve the country and died early!"

When everyone saw the two old men say this, they all agreed and expressed their regret for Qu Yuan.

At this time, Gao Yang, the historian who followed the prince to Liao, looked at Ji Kang and said to Ji Kang: "Young Master, the "Young Yan State" you wrote in Ji Du has spread all over the world. After coming to Liao, your knowledge will definitely improve a lot, and you must have written many good articles and poems. Can you give me one to appreciate?"

When everyone heard this, they all looked at Ji Kang. The father looked at his youngest son with anticipation. The eldest brother Ji Xi also looked at Ji Kang with the same anticipation.

Seeing everyone's expressions, Ji Kang was stunned. So are you adults. After I came to Liaodi, I was so busy every day that I had time to talk about it. I was so romantic and romantic! But I couldn't refuse such things.

Ji Kang stood up and bowed to everyone and said, "Father, sir, elder brother, all the sirs, after Ji Kang came to Liao, he was busy with official duties and had no time to think about and write articles, poetry, and knowledge has not improved. Please forgive me here!"

Seeing everyone's disappointed eyes, Ji Kang changed his tone and said to everyone: "Today I came to the college with my father, elder brother and all the adults. I am very happy. I improvised a poem, titled "Sunny in the Garden". Please appreciate it!"

When everyone heard Ji Kang say this, their eyes suddenly lit up.

Ji Kang walked out of the table, walked slowly, and slowly recited: "The sun is green in the garden, and the morning dew is waiting for the sun to dry. The spring is full of virtue, and all things are shining..."

When everyone heard this, their eyes widened.

You should know that the poetic style of this era, that is, the form of poetry, originated from the four-character style. The main representatives of the poetry style are the four-character style poems and the Sao style represented by Qu Yuan's "Chu Ci". Although the poetry style has made breakthroughs, it has not been completely established in the five-character and seven-character style.

But from the beginning of this poem, Ji Kang started with five words, completely breaking through the poetry style of the present era. When everyone heard the whole poem, they knew that it was particularly rhyme, which was indeed a poem. What does it mean? It represents a new school of poetry. Not to mention the content of the poem, it would be amazing based on this!

What's more, this poem describing "Sunny in the Garden" uses sunset to describe spring, and the first four sentences are consistent with the current season. When people hear it, they feel like they see a picture of spring: spring is warm and flowers bloom, and all things are shining; sunset in the garden is drying upwards, and the earth is full of vitality and prosperity.

Everyone shouted in unison: "Cai."

Ji Kang continued to walk, and the poetry style changed, and continued to recite: "I am always afraid that the autumn festival will come, and the flowers and leaves will fade..."

These two lines of poetry are easy to understand, and everyone can understand it as soon as they hear it. This is a metaphor for people through objects.

The timing of nature changes constantly. In the blink of an eye, spring comes and autumn comes. The sunflowers and all things in the garden experience spring growth and summer grows. In autumn, they mature. The leaves that once radiate yellow and withered, losing their vitality.

The same is true for life, growing up from youth. In the face of this eternal nature, life is like the morning dew on the leaves, which is dried as soon as you see the sun, just like the green sun leaves withering yellow and withering when they encounter the autumn wind.

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but concentrate and continued to listen with their ears.

Before everyone could cheer, Ji Kang did not pause, and slowly finished reading all the last four lines of poetry: "All rivers reach the east of the sea, when will they return to the west? If you don't work hard at a young age, you will be sad!"

After reading the whole poem, the whole audience was silent, and everyone was thinking about the meaning of the poem.

Ji Kang was also stunned, it shouldn’t be! This is an inspirational poem that uses things to describe people, and it should be applauded in the end!

Then he turned around, bowed to his father and everyone and said, "I came to the college today and felt a lot of love. I wrote a poem and asked my father, brother, two gentlemen and all the masters to correct me."

After hearing this, everyone reacted and shouted again in unison: "Cai."

The historian Gao Yang was excited and took out a pen and wrote down the poem "Sunakura" on the table next to him.

Then I read it again and shouted to everyone: "Good poems! Good poems. This poem not only creates a new style of poetry, but more importantly, this poem starts from Kuiyu to Chun, and then turns to thinking about the value of life from time to time. Finally, it leads to the deafening conclusion that "if you don't work hard when you are young, you will only be sad when you are old."

Then he paused and said excitedly: "The whole poem comes from the beautiful spring scenery in front of him to the fleeting life. He encourages young and strong people to cherish time, give advice, and urge people to rise up. What a good poem, it is really a good poem! It can be remembered for generations and passed down to future generations!"

Gao Yang became more and more excited as he spoke, and finally said loudly: "Young Master Ji Kang, you are indeed a great talent, you are a great talent! Looking at people with poetry can show your ambitions, your ambition is..."

Speaking of this, the historian Gao Yang suddenly reacted, looked at the expressions of Ji Kang's father and elder brother Ji Xi, and did not continue to say anything.

After hearing the analysis of the historian Gao Yang, everyone understood it.

Judging from the identity of Prince Ji Kang, this is based on poetry to express his ambition. Time is rising, life is short, and when you are young, you must work hard and make achievements. You cannot let down this great time! This... Prince Ji Kang is amazing!

Ji Kang's father looked at his youngest son, thinking about the poems he chanted just now, with crystal clear eyes.

The two old gentlemen, Zou Yan and Lu Zhonglian, looked at Ji Kang and nodded repeatedly. The two looked at each other. Lu Zhonglian called Gao Jin, a disciple who was accompanying everyone to dinner at another table, and said to him: "It is very meaningful to them to read this poem to the students who are dining in the cafeteria."

Gao Jin nodded and walked out quickly. After a while, a burst of cheers came from the canteen of the outside students, and then the poem rang out in the entire canteen.

At first, several people were reciting, and then dozens of people were reciting. In the end, the students who were dining in the cafeteria all started reciting in unison. The poems were ups and downs, and the sounds shook the entire academy.

The sun is green in the garden, and the morning dew is waiting for the sun to dry.

The spring brings virtue and lust, and all things are shining.

I am often afraid that the autumn festival will come, and the flowers and leaves will fade.

When will the rivers return to the east and the sea?

If you don’t work hard when you are young, you will be sad if you are old!
