Everyone was very surprised.

They thought Lin Zixuan wanted to read a new poem that was either generous or beautiful, but they didn't expect Lin Zixuan to write a poem.

Moreover, this poem sounds very imposing at first glance. Combined with the Qiantang River tide rolling in front of you, it makes people feel like they are at the forefront of the tide, and they can't help but feel excited.

They are all the best in this era, the trendsetters of this era, and have their own ideals and ambitions.

Isn’t this poem about their hearts, pointing to the river and stimulating words? Isn’t it what they are doing?

In this great era of change, who is the ups and downs of the vast earth?

Of course, they are the ones who went abroad to study when they were young, but now they have returned from their studies and are about to use their own strength to change the current situation of this country.

The ideals that were once are now being realized little by little. Although there will be hardships in the process, everything is worth it.

Others may just sigh at life, but... Wang Jingwei was particularly moved. Unlike other literati, his ideals and ambitions were politically oriented, and this sentence touched him the deepest.

"Zixuan, you are so hidden." Hu Shi praised, "I didn't expect that you are not only good at writing new poems, but also good at writing these poems."

"I made you laugh, but I just felt it and didn't respond very well." Lin Zixuan said modestly.

"It's indeed a bit off topic, but it's very imposing." Hu Shi commented, "Young people should have this kind of courage."

With his identity in the literary world, we can naturally say this.

Many years later, Hu Shi also commented on a song "Butterfly Love Flower", which is the same author as this song "Qinyuanchun". Hu Shi pointed out that there is a problem with the rhyme in the lyrics and said that "no sentence can be matched."

Of course, this statement is biased. Although the song "Butterfly Love Flower" does not rhyme.

"It would be worth this trip today with this poem." Xu Zhimo said excitedly.

He was also surprised that Lin Zixuan could write old poems. In his impression, Lin Zixuan's ancient literature foundation was very poor.

When their generation was in elementary school, they were in the late Qing Dynasty. They conducted private school education in small towns, but in the Shanghai Concession, Western schools had already existed.

Xu Zhimo first studied in a private school and then entered the Kaizhi School of Kanshi, thus laying the foundation for ancient Chinese literature.

Lin Zixuan went directly to Shanghai Hongkou Aiguo Primary School to study. Although the school also taught ancient Chinese, the foundation of ancient Chinese was not good.

After three days of separation, you should look at each other with admiration.

Xu Zhimo sighed in his heart.

Just like when I was in New York a few years ago, if anyone said Lin Zixuan could write novels, he would definitely think it was a joke, but now Lin Zixuan has become a leader in new literature.

Others do not have this kind of doubt. They think that since Lin Zixuan dares to talk about "Dream of Red Mansions", he naturally has a deep study of traditional literature, and it is normal to write an old poem.

This poem is well written, which shows that Lin Zixuan has a deep attainment in ancient Chinese.

Everyone talked about this poem and expressed their thoughts, and that was all.

This time, when I came to Haining, I not only watched Qiantangchao, but also made friends. I heard a good poem, and everyone was very satisfied.

Xu Zhimo suggested that everyone watch the night tide first. After watching it, they drove to his hometown, Jiushi, to stay for one night. The next morning, they went to Jinxia Pavilion to eat mutton noodles. Then they went to Yuqiao to see the maple leaves.

Qiantang Night Tide is very famous. It is not only about watching, but also about listening, just like listening to a magnificent symphony.

But in such weather, the night would be very cold, and Ren Shuyong and Chen Hengzhe and his wife insisted on returning to Shanghai.

Lin Zixuan also wanted to go back, but was kept by Xu Zhimo, so one group of people returned to Shanghai and another group of people returned to Hangzhou.

In the evening, everyone had a meal of hairy crabs in the exterior building of the old building next to West Lake.

Eating crabs is a job. Wang Jingwei was ridiculed by Xu Zhimo as an amateur because he was not very proficient, and he was not angry.

This person is very good at drinking. He drinks half a bottle of white wine alone without any drunkenness. During the meal, everyone is talking and talking, which is very lively.

The topic of poetry is the most talked about, and everyone commented on Lin Zixuan's poem.

Xu Zhimo was a little drunk and talked about his travels in the UK.

He also told the story of British social elites that praised Lin Zixuan, and even mentioned that the inspiration for the writing of American poet Elliott was from Lin Zixuan's poems.

Elliot's "The Wasteland" has been published for a year, and has caused great response in the European and American poetry world. The literary critics have continuously interpreted "The Wasteland" and believe that it is one of the best poems of this era.

Eliot became famous and became a representative figure of Western symbolist poetry.

But in China, Elliott is not well known and only appears in some introductory articles in literary magazines.

In the "Several News" on August 27, 2019, Literature Weekly talked about the newly-run British magazine "Adelfi", and mentioned that Elliot was one of the contributors of the magazine, and there was no excessive comment.

In December 1927, No. 18, No. 12 of "Novel Monthly" published in the translation of "Pure Poems" by Zhu Ziqing, who was then a professor at Tsinghua University. The translation mentioned Elliot's name.

What really made Elliott famous in China was in the 1930s.

In April 1934, Ye Gongchao published "Eliot's Poems" in Volume 9, Issue 2 of the Journal of Tsinghua University, which was the earliest paper in China that systematically reviewed Eliot.

In 1937, Tsinghua talented girl Zhao Luorui was the first to translate Elliot's long poem "The Wasteland" into Chinese.

Therefore, the people here have no impression of Elliot, and only know that a foreign poet likes Lin Zixuan's poetry.

Lin Zixuan could not tell them about Elliot's status in the world literary world, and would win the Nobel Prize in Literature in the future, which was a bit of a boastful suspicion.

So he could only say nothing.

Wait, wait until Elliot's poems are introduced to China a few years later, and you will be surprised.

From this point, we can also see that in this era, the gap between the Chinese literary world and the world literary world is urgently trying to look outward and understand the whole world, but this takes time.

Although the scholars here do not know who Elliot is, they know from Xu Zhimo's story that Lin Zixuan is very popular in the UK. In addition, Lin Zixuan's influence in the American literary world has given them a deeper understanding of Lin Zixuan.

It is not an exaggeration to say that Lin Zixuan is a world-renowned writer.

Later, they also talked about the topic of Indian poet Tagore.

According to the news that Xu Zhimo received from Liang Qichao, Tagore may visit China next year.

Tagore won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1913 and has a considerable influence in the world literary world.

In 1920, Cai Yuanqi and other educational figures sent an invitation to Tagore to visit China. At that time, Tagore was busy preparing for international universities and visiting Europe and the United States, and he could not make a trip.

In the winter of 1922, the lecture club led by Liang Qichao invited Tagore to visit China.

Tagore was very happy after receiving the invitation and decided to visit China in August 2019. However, Tagore was not in good health at this time, so he postponed the visit until the spring of the second year. (To be continued.)
