Chapter 502: Compete with the Book of Songs

"Xiao Huang, amazing, amazing."

The next day, in the office of the lecturer Shuimu, Peijin, who had not attended before, held the newspaper and gave Huang Yifan a thumbs up.

"Awesome, really amazing. You have found a new research direction for Chu Ci."

Pei Jin is also a lecturer in the Chinese Department, so he naturally knows how difficult it is to study Chu Ci in the era when Chu Ci was lost. Because, every time you study, you need to find countless documents from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. This not only challenges your ability to understand these documents, but also challenges you to countless time you spend. Some even spend 10 years studying Chu Ci, it is not necessarily possible to get started. This is why the Chu Ci Association is one of the two highest associations in Chinese literature.

"Luck, just luck."

Huang Yifan said modestly.

"What luck is there? Don't be too humble. Too humble means being proud. Do you understand?"

"Haha, Lao Pei, you are getting more and more interesting."

Huang Yifan laughed: "I'll talk about it another day, I'm going to give a lecture."

There are three lectures in Huang Yifan’s total, the first section yesterday, and the second section will continue today.

"Damn, why are there so many people?"

As soon as he arrived at the large staircase classroom, Huang Yifan was shocked.

I only saw darkness, from the inside out, countless people surrounded the staircase classroom.

No, how come there are so many people.

This is just an academic exchange lecture, and it is a relatively niche Chu Ci. How can there be so many people?

Although Huang Yifan is also well-known, judging from the lecture on the first day, there are not many people coming.

However, the next day, for some reason, he ran away directly and the entire classroom was full of people.

"Teacher Huang, are you here?"

Seeing Huang Yifan coming, the Chinese Department of Zheng Yi came over.

"Well, Director Zheng, why are there so many people?"

"I want to know too, but I guess your lecture was so exciting yesterday, so so many people came?"

"What should I do now?"

"What can I do? Everyone is here, and I can drive them away. You can start first. I will send someone to seal the import and not let someone come again."

"OK."

Huang Yifan nodded and walked into the classroom.

At this time, all the seats in the entire classroom were already full.

There are some students in it, but most of them are not.

Fortunately, several professors from Yan University still did not give up and still appeared on the scene.

After a little look at the audience who came to the classroom, Huang Yifan took yesterday's lecture and said: "Yesterday, the development of Han Fu is inseparable from Chu Ci. If you want to find the rhythm of Chu Ci, you can find it from Han Fu."

Huang Yifan reviewed yesterday's content and started the topic. However, just as Huang Yifan said a few words, Cheng Li stood up and said, "Teacher Huang Yifan, don't talk about these unimportant things. I believe you will definitely introduce Xi style poems next. Yes, yes, there are indeed some works in Han Fu that use Xi style poems. However, there are actually not many such Xi style works. And from the Han Fu, there are almost no Han Fu that has used Xi style rhythms and is more famous."

"I didn't expect Professor Cheng Li to know so well about Han Fu. Yes, although some works in Han Fu use the rhythm of Xi style, these works are not famous."

"Not only is it not famous. At the same time, this does not mean that the style of the Han fu is adopted, but the style of the Chu Ci must be adopted. It does not mean that the style of the Xi style used by Teacher Huang Yifan, so he can call it Chu Ci."

Cheng Li continued to add and said with a little reminder.

"Of course, from this point of view alone, it is indeed impossible to explain."

Huang Yifan was not scared by Cheng Li's reminder, but nodded according to his words: "However, although these Han Fu that has adopted the Xi style format are not famous, I wonder if Professor Cheng Li has noticed that almost all Han Fu in the Han Dynasty have written Xi style format works."

“Is there any?”

Cheng Li was not sure, he did not study this aspect.

"certainly."

Huang Yifan opened the ppt: "Everyone, please look at the big screen. There are more than 3,000 Han Fu recorded in the Han Dynasty, of which more than 100 are in the format of Zhuxi, and the authors corresponding to these more than 100 are well-known masters. This is a bit strange. Although there are no well-known works in the format of Xixi, why are these famous masters so interested in the format of Xixi? Is there no other reason here, for example, it is influenced by Chu Ci. Because Chu Ci uses Xiti, Han Fu also uses Xiti..."

Speaking of this, Huang Yifan saw that Cheng Li seemed to be talking again, and Huang Yifan said again: "Professor Cheng Li, I know that this is inference, this is not evidence, and it still cannot indicate that Chu Ci also adopts the Xi style format. As for why I say that, I just want to tell everyone that it is strange. Since it is strange, then we will definitely ask, why is it so strange?"

After the first lecture, Huang Yifan of the second lecture was completely relaxed: "In fact, in the past, when Chu Ci experts studied here, there was probably no more play. Because we all know that Chu Ci was lost, even if the Han Fu was completely copied from the format of Chu Ci, we still cannot say that Chu Ci is a new style that adopts the Xi style. However, there is nothing difficult in the world, I am afraid of those who are interested. I have said before that although Chu Ci has been lost, Chu Ci was still passed down in a certain manifestation situation. This inheritance is the mountain song of Chu. I believe that Professor Cheng Li must have some understanding of the mountain song of Chu."

Huang Yifan looked at Professor Cheng Li and asked with a smile.

"The State of Chu does have a large number of folk songs, and many classic folk songs are Chu Ci. Just like the Xu Renge you mentioned before, you can actually be regarded as a kind of Chu Ci. However, because it has been a long time, other folk songs in Chu, including Xu Renge, have no written words left behind, so we don't know what these folk songs are written."

Cheng Li talked freely and expressed his views on the Chu country's mountain songs.

"That's not necessarily."

Huang Yifan shook his head: "Mr. Cheng Li, the lack of words does not mean that we do not know the content of these folk songs. Without words does not mean that we cannot study these folk songs. In fact, many people can sing these folk songs in the State of Chu, that is, in the current Beihu area, but they do not sing Mandarin, but in the dialect of Chu, they have inherited these folk songs in the dialect of Chu."

The water that choked on the waves was very clear, he could wash my gun.

The choking water is very turbid, and he can wash my feet.

While explaining, Huang Yifan suddenly sang a song.

Most people can't understand this song, and the tune is completely different from the current pop music, and it sounds like it is sung in dialect.

After singing, Huang Yifan looked at Cheng Li: "Professor Cheng Li, it is said that you are from Beihu. Beihu is the ancient Chu State. I believe you know the dialect of Chu State. I believe you are very familiar with this mountain song, Professor Cheng Li."

"Of course I am familiar with this mountain song. I have been singing it since I was a child. Why, is there any problem with this mountain song?"

"No problem, no problem at all. I just want to ask, is this mountain song Chu Ci?"

"Of course."

Cheng Li nodded and said with certainty: "Canglang Ge, Xu Renge, Caiwei Ge, Chu Kuang Yu Ge, and "Yue Renge" are called the Five Songs of Chu Ci. From a certain perspective, Chu Ci is a kind of song, and Canglang Ge is of course Chu Ci. However, there are no written records of these folk songs at present, only these dialects. Although we have tried to translate these dialects, the artistic conception translated has lost the taste of Chu Ci. Of course, the reason is that we have not mastered the true rhythm of Chu Ci, so the essence of the translation is lost. Just like what you said just now, the water choking waves is very clear, and he can wash my gun. Although the translation is also very good, it is not, it is not like this. In this folk song, its taste is many times stronger than what you just translated."

Cheng Li is very familiar with "Canglang Song" and is very knowledgeable. In addition, he has lived in Chu since he was a child, so he naturally has an inner understanding.

The reason why he thought Huang Yifan was not good at translating was not to attack Huang Yifan, but it was true. He thought that the translation was not good.

Although the dialect of Chu State cannot be recorded in writing, it can also express the meaning.

How could the Canglang song sung in the Chu dialect mean that Huang Yifan just translated it?

Even if the meaning is translated correctly, the taste is not right.

However, at this moment, Huang Yifan suddenly said, "What if I change the translation."

After saying that, Huang Yifan continued to sing.

The water of Canglang is clear, and I can wash my tassels.

The turbid water of Canglang can wash my feet.

This time everyone understood because Huang Yifan sang this song in Mandarin.

At the same time, after Huang Yifan finished singing this song, the lyrics of Canglang Song were already displayed on the big screen.

The water of Canglang is clear, so that I can wash my tassels. The water of Canglang is turbid, so that I can wash my feet... If the "Song of Choking the Waves" translated by Huang Yifan just now does not have much artistic conception. Then, the poems translated now have profound artistic conception and make people feel endless aftertaste. Even if Cheng Li saw the song of Canglang translated by Huang Yifan, he subconsciously shouted a sentence. But after saying that, he saw some other students next to him laughing at him, and suddenly became embarrassed.

"Professor Cheng Li, how about this Canglang song I translated?"

"Is that okay?"

Although Cheng Li did not have a good impression of Huang Yifan, he was not easy to open his eyes and talk lies when he saw such a good poem.

"I think it's very good, too."

Huang Yifan nodded with a smile: "What's even better is, Professor Cheng Li, I don't know if you have noticed it. I have added a special word to this poem."

"What word?"

Cheng Li didn't react. After reading this poem carefully, Cheng Li almost fell down.

"Xi."

Yes, that's right, it's the word Xi.

Maybe someone just saw the word "Xi" added to this poem, but for most people, they did not see it clearly at the beginning. Or they had seen the word "Xi" before, but they did not think of the function of the word "Xi". Until now, when Huang Yifan specifically reminded him, the people completely woke up.

It turns out that no matter how you translated it, although what you translated also had the meaning, it did not translate the artistic conception. However, once the word Xi was added to the translation, the artistic conception of the entire mountain song was perfectly reflected in this word Xi.

Oh my God, isn’t this the Chuci format that Huang Yifan emphasized?

Moreover, it seems that Huang Yifan has proved successful with Xi Physical Rhythm.

No, this is the second time that it has been proven.

The first time Xu Renge was written by Huang Yifan in the format of "Xi style". However, Xu Renge was written in a very average way, and no one could see it. However, the second Canglang song, even if it was just a sentence, everyone felt the classic of this poem.

Close your eyes and the audience read it again.

The water of Canglang is clear, and I can wash my tassels.

The turbid water of Canglang can wash my feet.

Although this poem is written simply and you can understand it at first glance, through the artistic conception in the poem, the audience found that this poem contains countless flavors. It gives people a kind of strength, saying that no matter the current situation changes, you should face the world with an open-minded attitude. Just like the water of Canglang, no matter whether it is clear or turbid. When it is clear, I can use it to wash my gun, and when it is turbid, I use it to wash my feet. This is a kind of life outlook that actively faces the world.

So simple.

So artistic.

So perfect.

Such poems have completely surpassed those of Tang, Song, Yuan, Yuefu, Han and Fu.

He can even compete with the Book of Songs.
