    【Poem Maze-03】

    Yue Xingwen looked at everyone and asked, "Do you want to go to Du Fu's side first, or Meng Haoran's side?"

    Ke Shaobin suggested: "Du Fu, right? After all, Du Fu's poems were recited a lot in middle school. Even if we forget, I believe Xingwen will definitely remember!"

    In middle school, students were required to memorize many poems, and dictation of poems was also a compulsory subject in the exam. But after arriving at university, due to the further subdivision of majors, the difficulty and pressure of professional courses continue to increase, and many students no longer contact literature, and gradually forget the poems and ancient texts they have recited.

    Not to mention the poems that have not appeared in the textbook, it is a must-memorize chapter in the high school Chinese textbook. After a few years of college, very few people can completely write it out.

    The so-called "specialization in the field of art" means that the Department of Chinese Language and Literature specializes in cultivating talents who study Chinese. This time, when I encountered a literature course, everyone certainly believed in the ability of Yue Xingwen. Just like when encountering a math maze, everyone would follow Jiang Pingce without hesitation.

    Yue Xingwen also tended to take the road of Du Fu. He looked at Jiang Pingce and said: "Then let's take the right road first, after exploring the area on the right road, if we don't find the exit, we will go back here. You can record the map path. Well, I'm afraid that there will be confusion when there are too many fork in the road."

    Jiang Pingce nodded: "Okay, I will draw a map while walking."

    Everyone followed Yue Xingwen into the door in the middle of the wall and walked to the right.

    This is no longer water, but a wide road. Li Bai's boat disappeared, and a horse appeared. He turned on his horse and swung his whip away. Seeing this scene, Ke Shaobin immediately put away the small picture, and everyone lined up behind Li Bai. In order to catch up with Li Bai, who was riding a horse, Yue Xingwen decisively turned on the team acceleration skill of "Fast Speed".

    About 5 minutes later, Li Bai's horse stopped in front of a pavilion.

    A figure appeared under the gazebo, and saw that he was wearing a dark blue cloth and a black hat on his head. There was no decoration on his body, and he looked very simple.

    A floating frame pops up in front of you——

    New character unlocked: Du Fu.

    Tang Dynasty famous poet. The character is Zimei, and the number is Shaolingye Lao.

    Please follow in the footsteps of Du Fu and continue to explore the maze.

    Exploration 10%.

    Yue Xingwen remembered that when he first met Li Bai, his maze exploration rate was 5%, and now he encountered Du Fu, and his exploration rate became 10%. He looked back at Jiang Pingce and whispered: "Is it unlocking a poet and increasing the exploration degree by 5%?"

    Jiang Pingce nodded in agreement: "Well, there are probably 20 poets in this labyrinth, scattered everywhere. After unlocking all the poets and answering all the questions correctly, the exploration degree is 100% before the exit can be found."

    If this is the case, the requirements for the reserve of poetry are very high. There are so many poets' works, if you encounter something you don't know, you can't answer the question correctly, you can't explore the whole maze.

    Liu Zhaoqing complained, "This level only has 4 credits, so it's not too difficult! Like the song "The Journey of the Knight" just now, if Xingwen didn't write the full text word for word, we wouldn't be able to open the system."

    Yue Xingwen smiled and comforted everyone: "The people who appear here should all be well-known poets. I believe that the library will not go too far. After all, if the exam questions are too difficult for a 4-credit course, wouldn't it make all the teams fail here? "

    Ke Shaobin nodded and said, "Yes! There should be hints for difficult topics. It's impossible for us to memorize all the poems completely, right?"

    As soon as the words fell, Li Bai and Du Fu began to say hello to each other.

    The encounter between the two poets is a rare sight for thousands of years, and everyone immediately quieted down. saw Du Fu invited Li Bai to sit down in the pavilion and took out a pot of wine. The two smiled at each other and drank each other boldly.

    The 12 students looked at each other.

    Everyone stood by and watched "Shi Xian" and "Shi Sheng" drinking like no one else. They didn't know what they were talking about. They had a good conversation, but the scene before them was like a "silent movie". did not reach their ears.

    There are only a thousand cups of wine when meeting confidants, and the two of them drank very happily.

    After eating a pot of spirits, Du Fu picked up a pen and wrote two lines on the wall in front of the pavilion: "Qiu Lai will care for Shang Piao Peng, but I will not be ashamed of Ge Hong for Dansha."

    Two lines of blank answer boxes appear below.

    Everyone looked back at Yue Xingwen and asked him if he knew with his eyes.

    Yue Xingwen took a step forward, picked up the brush, and quickly wrote the second half of the poem in the blank space: "Drinking wild songs to live in the air, flying and domineering, who is the hero."

    Answer correctly, the complete poem on the wall flashes with a soft light effect.

    And after Du Fu finished writing the poem, Li Bai actually picked up the writing brush, swiped the pen on the stone wall next to him, and wrote two lines: "Don't get drunk for a few days, and go to the pond platform. The road, there are still golden bottles to open."

    The next two lines were left empty as usual, Yue Xingwen took a step forward and picked up the pen to complete the whole poem: "Autumn waves fall in Sishui, the sea is bright.

    Ke Shaobin adjusted his glasses, looked at the poems on the wall, and said, "I have never heard of these two poems! Oh, why do I feel like an illiterate when I come to the School of Humanities?"

    Yue Xingwen smiled and said, "These are not what you study professionally. It is normal for you not to know. If you write a row of computer codes in front of me, I will feel that I am illiterate."

    Hearing what he said, Ke Shaobin felt much better, and hurriedly asked for advice: "These two poems should be given to each other by Du Fu and Li Bai, right?"

    Yue Xingwen nodded and explained: "Li Bai and Du Fu have only met three times in history, the first time was in the third year of Tianbao in Tang Dynasty, Li Bai was forced to leave Chang'an, met Du Fu in Luoyang, and became close friends. The two met in Liang Song, which is now Henan. In the autumn of the same year, they met in Liang Song. In the spring of the following year, they reunited in Shandong and traveled to Qilu together. They sent each other these two poems at 1:00 a.m. ."

    Although Yue Xingwen's narration is very calm, his mood is extremely excited.

    In history, the meetings of many celebrities have left stories through the ages. Li Bai and Du Fu are also the most famous among them. They have only met three times in their lives, but it was these three meetings that made the two lifelong confidants.

    Two people with an age difference of 11 years, drinking together, reciting poems together, talking about the past and the present, how fun!

    In those turbulent times, it is not easy to meet a confidant. In the many years that followed, they never met again, but they never forgot each other, and left countless masterpieces for future generations.

    His favorite poets in Yuexingwen Middle School were Li Bai and Du Fu. When he was a freshman, he wrote essays on the poetry of Li Bai and Du Fu, and he was very familiar with their poems. But he never thought that one day, he would be able to see the meeting between Li Bai and Du Fu in the library.

    This sense of time and space confusion made his mood extremely complicated.

    Li Bai and Du Fu in front of them were not real people, they were just two virtual images created by the library, and they couldn't hear them at all. But Yue Xingwen would like to say something, your works have become treasures of Chinese culture, which will be passed on forever and will be remembered by future generations.

    ...

    Li Bai and Du Fu ended their meeting. After parting ways, Li Bai disappeared in front of him, while Du Fu rode on his horse and continued to move forward. Everyone looked at each other and immediately followed him.

    I thought that Du Fu would take everyone to see the next poet, but not long after they left, everyone saw sad scenes——

    In the age of chaos, there are traces of war everywhere.

    The charred flags fell beside the ruins, the skeletons left at random on the roadside were devoured beyond recognition by wild beasts, the orphans and widows who could not get enough to eat cried and knelt down and begged for some dry food, and the old man turned pale overnight after his son died...

    The scene of grief everywhere, like a movie, swayed on both sides of the road.

    As the most famous realist poet in the Tang Dynasty, Du Fu has always cared about the people's livelihood the most. In the turbulent era after the Anshi Rebellion, he wrote countless poignant poems. People of later generations, even if they have not personally experienced that period, can learn from In his poems, he felt the suffering of the common people at that time.

    Yuexing Text thought that this time, Du Fu's well-known poems will be tested, such as "I will be the top of the mountain, and I will look at the small mountains", "The wine and meat of Zhumen stink, the road has frozen bones" and other well-known poems.

    Unexpectedly, dense text suddenly appeared in the floating boxes on both sides, and it looked like a long poem. There are still many vacancies, which obviously need to be filled by them.

    And the names of the poems at the top are written "Farewell to the Newlyweds 1", "Farewell to the Homeless 1" and "Farewell to the Old One"!

    These are not poems that need to be mastered on the Chinese syllabus for middle school, and only students in the Chinese department who love poetry will go to Du Fu's representative works to study.

    Sure enough, as soon as the title of the poem came out, Jiang Pingce said: "I remember that when you were a freshman, you wrote an analytical essay on Du Fu's representative works Three Officials and Three Distinctions 1."

    Jiang Pingce was not interested in poetry, but Xingwen often went to self-study with him. He sat next to Yue Xingwen, read a lot of materials at Yue Xingwen, and clearly remembered every paper that Yue Xingwen had written. .

    Therefore, after seeing the three poems in the floating frame, Jiang Pingce knew that this time he was stable again.

    Sure enough, Yue Xingwen said with a smile, "That's right. The Three Officials and the Three Parts 1 are Du Fu's representative works describing the suffering of the people caused by the war. Although each capital is very long, I remember it word by word!"

    Du Fu's three officials and three special 1, let him close his eyes and write silently, and he can write all of them.

    What's more, there is a line of reminders every other sentence on the answer wall at this time, which is really too simple for Yue Xingwen.

    He stepped forward, picked up the brush, and quickly filled in the vacancies.

    "Jie Fa is the wife of the king, and the seat does not warm the king's bed. Farewell to the wedding in the morning, Wu Nai is in a hurry..."

    "There is no news for the survivors, and the dead are dust and mud. The cheap son was defeated and returned to find the old way..."

    "The suburbs are not peaceful, and the old age is uneasy. The descendants are killed in battle, so how can I use my body to finish alone..."

    The bride whose husband was forced to go to war the next day after the wedding; the young man who returned to his hometown but was homeless; the lonely and widowed old man whose sons all died in battle - Newlywed 1, Homeless 1, Old Farewell 1, three poems Blood and tears depict the misery of the people of that era.

    Seeing that Yue Xingwen quickly filled out all the vacancies, the other students were in a complicated mood.

    Each poem in Sanbie 1 is 16 lines, 32 short sentences, and 160 words, which adds up to 480 words. It's hard to memorize all such long poems, Xingwen's memory is really outstanding, word by word.

    However, as a scholar of the Chinese Department, it seems reasonable to know that Du Fu's masterpiece is?

    Anyway, as Brother Liu said, it's right to follow Xingwen and win this time!

    The author has something to say: if you don't like poetry, you can skip this copy~

    There are still a few chapters left.
