The reason why Yang Jiezhi's lectures are so popular at Tsinghua University is not just because he is a professor at Tsinghua University and an honorary president of Tsinghua University. Perhaps there are some factors in these two identities, but if he does not have the ability or works, so many people would not be convinced.

Just like the name of Yang Jiezhi's poetry mountain range is not just a joke, and his "Collected Poems of Life Insights" is one of the highest-level works of modern Chinese poetry. It is completely normal for such a reputation and such works to be supported by students in this way.

Yang Jiezhi lied to the bow tie on his chest, supported his hands on the podium, leaned forward, and said, "I was under a lot of pressure for this lecture. The last time I had this pressure was when I was a lecture at Yale University abroad."

As one of the top foreign institutions, it is normal for Yale University to be stressed when Yang Jiezhi is a Chinese. However, today's speech was Tsinghua University, Yang Jiezhi's home court, and there was not even a single person to listen. What was nervous in this situation? The students felt that they couldn't understand.

Everyone listened quietly to Yang Jiezhi's following, and Yang Jiezhi chuckled: "It is natural to put the knowledge of modern poetry in front of Su Xiaoyou. I can't tell you what you teach. Let's confirm each other."

There are definitely many people with the surname Su in this classroom, but who can be called a friend of Professor Yang Jiezhi. I guess the only person who sits in the front row in the entire classroom is qualified.

The students present were very surprised by what Yang Jiezhi said just now. There was nothing to be surprised about this title, because there was a news report that Yang Jiezhi and Su Shichen had a good relationship. It can be seen from Yang Jiezhi's strong support for Su Shichen when the publication of "Ghost Blows Out the Light". They were surprised because of what Yang Jie said later.

What is mutual verification? Mutual verification must be based on the same level in order to meet the meaning of the word. There is no need to say more about Yang Jiezhi's height in the field of poetry, but what is the situation of Su Shichen?

Su Shichen's achievements in the novel field are naturally useless. He claims to be a man who can control any novel type. But I have never heard of Su Shichen writing poetry. Of course, this statement is even more impossible to be a compliment. According to Yang Jiezhi's status, he does not need to compliment Su Shichen.

"Where is Professor Yang's words? You are a teacher in terms of poetry. Those of us students can only ask for advice humbly." As a polite manner, Su Shichen first stood up, then bowed slightly and said.

"Okay, let me talk about the length of modern poetry." Yang Jiezhi began his lecture. "Modern poetry is freer from the characteristics of gentleness and integrity of ancient poetry, sadness but not complaining."

"The most direct thing about this freedom is reflected in the length of the collection of poems. Modern poetry can express emotions or narratives, and the length of the collection also exceeds that of ancient poetry."

"A lot of students are going to ask here, but there are many long poems in ancient poetry, just like Li Bai's "A Book of the Book of Wei Taishou Liangzai in Jiangxia" is a long poem with a thousand words, and as the longest lyric poem in ancient China, "Li Sao", the full text is nearly 2,500 words."

"Such long poems are rare in ancient poems, but in modern poems there are many, and there are even more words. Just like the Tibetan poem "Biography of King Gesar" in China, the full text is more than one million words and more than seven thousand lines. This type is a special epic in modern poems. It seems that the Indian epic "Mahabharata" has as many as five million words. This is the freedom of the length of the poem."

"Of course, I don't mean that modern poetry is better than ancient poetry. As the national treasure of our China, ancient poetry may encounter a tide if I say this. Compared with ancient poetry, modern poetry also has its shortcomings." Yang Jiezhi turned his voice back and wrote the word "simplified" on the blackboard with chalk.

"Broken bamboo, continue bamboo; flying soil, rushing the trunk. There are eight words in total, from "Tange Ge" in "Wu Yue Chunqiu". If I remember correctly, this should be the shortest ancient poem, which uses only eight words to express the hunting scene."

"The ancients spoke in classical Chinese, which was very concise, but ancient poetry summarized classical Chinese, so in terms of simple words, modern poetry is definitely not as good as ancient poetry."

What Yang Jiezhi said is indeed true, just like Li Bai's most familiar "Quiet Night Thoughts" describes the scene of a poet looking up at the moon in the sky alone in the room and missing his hometown. But if we take modern poetry, Yu Guangzhong's "Under the Full Moon" and the same homesickness under the moon, it is expressed in one or two hundred words.

Of course, "Quiet Night Thoughts" and "Under the Full Moon" cannot be compared in thought, but it can be seen at a glance from the simplified language.

The shortest ancient poem, eight characters, the very famous short poem in modern poems, Gu Cheng's "A Generation" does not count as punctuation nineteen characters, and Ezra Pound's "At a Subway Station in Paris" twenty-two characters, these short poems seem a bit longer than "Pange the Song".

Yang Jiezhi made a summary statement: "Modern poetry is more casual in terms of subject matter, so it can be written longer, while ancient poetry is more concise. A few days ago, I heard that there was a huge controversy on the Internet about whether ancient poetry is better or modern poetry is better. People from all walks of life participated in it and expressed their opinions. This is a good thing. Only with communication can there be progress. My views, ancient poetry and modern poetry have their own advantages."

After Yang Jiezhi's passage, he caused many students to discuss: "The Internet has always said that modern poetry is better than ancient poetry here and there, but no matter how modern poetry is written, it is not as concise as ancient poetry." "Yes, Professor Yang summarized it so well."...

Li Dongfang listened very seriously and recorded everything she thought was important on the notebook. The thick notebook was blank at this time but there were few pages left. Su Shichen focused most of his attention on Li Dongfang. As for Li Dongfang's current face, he was really worried that she would suddenly fall.

"Student Su, do you have any other opinions or anything to refute?" He called Su Xiaoyou privately, but the class started, so the title should be more formal.

Naturally, Yang Jiezhi would not speak for no reason. The relationship with Su Shichen was even more impossible to make things difficult for him. Instead, he saw Su Shichen's eyebrows slightly raised and the corners of his mouth curled up. This look was clearly different.

"I have no doubt about Professor Yang's point of view. Modern poetry and ancient poetry do have their own advantages. But I just heard a classmate say that modern poetry cannot be concise in any case. It is not true. If it is to be concise, it can be done, and it is even simpler than what Professor Yang said just now." As soon as Su Shichen said, he attracted the attention of many people in the classroom.

The whole poem "Tange" has only eight words, which is less than "Tange"? And the subject matter must be modern poetry. Is this possible?

"Sir Su, please show it to us in the classroom." Yang Jieyi didn't look like a professor at all, so he started to make a fuss. In fact, if you think of Su Shichen who promised Yang Jiezhi to write a collection of poems, you don't know how long it has been. There is no news yet, so it would be understandable that Yang Jiezhi did this.

"In modern poetry, the content of poetry can be at least reduced to one word." Su Shichen made an incredible remark.

A modern poem with one word? At least in the minds of all students in the classroom, there is no such poem.

The seats in this classroom are connected by two positions, just like a long time ago, the one who had to use chalk to mark the 38th line in the middle of the table, and it was divided into three rows. The row in the middle was connected by two tables, which means that four people could sit. Su Shichen, Li Dongfang, Zhang Tingting and a classmate whom they didn't know sat together.

Zhang Tingting touched Li Dongfang with her elbow, looked at Su Shichen from the side and asked in a low voice: "Dongdong, Su Shichen is really stupid? How can I have a single word of poetry?"

Su Shichen's position is very good. He first ranks at the forefront of the classroom and is still in the middle. As a result, almost all the students' eyes looked at him. This feeling is a bit eye-catching.

Unfortunately, this kind of gaze is not the kind of worshipful gaze, but the kind of gaze with doubt.

"Then I will be ugly. The title of this poem is called "Life", and the content of this poem..." Su Shichen deliberately put a long sound, "net."

Putting Su Shichen's words together is—

"Life"

net.

It's probably the case, but this state of inconsistent with the foreword is considered a poem?

When you write a poem, you must at least others admit that it is a poem, right? Otherwise, just write a title, and then say "ah" and you say it is a poem. Who agrees with it except your author himself? Su Shichen's this is almost the same.

Many people had such questions in their minds, and then they had a low voice, "Is this counting?" "Isn't it just a casual word, right?" "I don't understand!" "If this is a poem, then I can write several poems a day!"...

It was at this time that Professor Yang Jiezhi said with appreciation: "Life is a net, the king of family love, the net of friendship, the net of hatred, etc., which are inextricably linked. No matter what, one cannot escape a net in his life. No one can transcend such a state of life. It is perfect to use the word "net" to describe life! It is extremely wonderful!"

Now, there are no doubts. Many times, you didn't know the meaning, but after others praised you, you suddenly realized that you were so powerful and began to praise you. This kind of following-the-trade is something that everyone has. In addition, Yang Jiezhi, who has achieved great success in the field of poetry, was even more accompanied by everyone.

The lecture continued, and now Su Shichen was much more low-key, with his face down and no longer changing his expression. After listening to a class, he had to say that Professor Yang's level is very high and the whole class is interesting.

The bell rang, "I'm here today. This class is very pleasant. Thank you very much for your cooperation." Yang Jiezhi packed up all the things in the lecture, "Young Master Su, come to my office if you have time."

"Okay." Su Shichen nodded.

"Hey, I didn't expect you to write poems?" Zhang Tingting said a lot, "It's still such a very difficult one-word poem."

In the past, when Su Shichen reads novels, he thought that some of the characters in the novels were written by the author to make up the number of words, but now he understands that there will be no shortage of such words in life. Without such characters, it will be unreal.

Su Shichen shook his head and said nothing. This one-character poem is not Su Shichen's nonsense, but a poem written by Bei Dao, the representative figure of the Misty Poetry, whose content is shorter than the title, and is the shortest in the world.

"What's wrong with you, the chief squad leader?" Su Shichen's expression changed and he suddenly shouted.
