One spring, he and Mr. Zhang Zhonghai stood by the reservoir in the southern mountainous area and shared his fishing experience. You don't even have to go fishing when the fish are sleeping; What fish shallow fishing, what fish deep fishing; When fishing at night, don't make a noise at the water's edge. He also said that he and his friends have fished in these four reservoirs, and sometimes they can't catch any fish, and they still enjoy sitting by the water for a day.
But I was always absent-minded at that time, and the weather was really good. In spring, the winds in the mountains are completely invisible, and they can be seen everywhere. The branches twisted gently, the leaves shook their heads, the clouds in the sky dragged their long tails, and the water rippled. You push me, I push you to the shore.
Spring is really a strange season. Everything grows and poetry grows.
Poetry is also something that makes Zhang Zhonghai gush. He has been famous since 1980s, and he has become a representative figure of rural poetry in China with the concepts of "new countryside, simple description, language sense and narrative elements". Nowadays, this poem is full of heartfelt words. Li Yeping, a famous critic, said: "There are neither famous educational sayings of well-dressed old people nor just and awe-inspiring slogans in his poems, but only wise thinking and thorough tone."
In a recent lecture at Shandong Women's Prose Salon, Zhang Zhonghai suggested that prose writers had better write some poems. He said that poetry is different from the correctness of prose, it is an alternative thing and needs to break the routine. However, prose is easy to enter the routine after being written for a long time and needs to be broken, so that the spirit of poetry can endow prose with lasting vitality and long-term significance.
Although in the eyes of writers, there are obvious differences between prose and poetry. Borges, an Argentine poet, novelist, essayist and translator, said, "Poetry ends here and prose begins here." Prose appeal to reason, poetry appeals to sensibility; Prose is an external perspective and poetry is an internal perspective; Prose is sober, poetry is drunk; Prose is dry food, poetry is wine; Prose is a general and poetry is always a soldier, but it does not prevent them from learning from each other.
Teacher Zhang Zhonghai, who bluntly "likes simple things", talked about the charm of poetry and prose language: "Only simplicity can be touching; Only tactfully can it be beautiful. "
Once he took his little granddaughter fishing and soon caught more than 20 fish. The little granddaughter picked up four golden poplar leaves and a dog tail grass, saying that they were four gold stars, which were trophies for him. He was particularly excited: "How good children's imagination is, this is the language of poetry."
Poetry should write about your own life and your own heart. Teacher Zhang Zhonghai said that only by having your own expression and thinking can you write a unique taste.
Poetry doesn't have to be far away, it's all around us. If you don't believe me, ask the busy bees in the wild in Hanawada on the mountain. They must nod their heads. It seems that as long as you calm down, everything around you will be vivid and poetic. Whether it is fruit or flowers, whether it is trees or weeds, whether it is dignified or joking, even ants and scarabs are all characters in a poem.
Even if you can't be a poet in life, you should live like a poet. Even if you don't write poetry, you should live a poetic life, so writing prose may be more vivid.
Just like "Father grows vegetables, cares about food, grows vegetables and cares about vegetables" in Lord of the Earth. What a practitioner should do seems to have nothing to do with poetry, but it is actually related to poetry. Father lives in poetry, and father works in poetry. "
As "Mother's Calligraphy" said, "Although five children have their own achievements, what mother told us most is not to force, but to see fate and let nature take its course."
Every day like this is a poem.
