In all the previous poetry and literary gatherings, there has only been one work that received a score of nine points, but it was not the work of one person. Instead, it was the work of a dozen scholars organized by the Poetry Association of Zhongyuan Province who worked together to study it.
Now, is No. 108 a team or an individual?
No one knows.
Many people were looking around in the hall, especially at their hands, trying to see who No. 108 was.
With nine points, there is no way to advance.
According to the experience of the previous session, 60 points are considered passing, and to advance, a minimum of around 70 points is required.
The further you go, the higher the score may be.
In other words, even if every poem gets nine points, you still need seven or eight poems to advance.
This is why we need to form a team.
Therefore, this also means that today's Chen Xian has to fight against the poetry associations of twenty-one provinces alone.
At least five or six people came from each association, and many people watched the game online, maintained real-time communication, and provided poems in a timely manner.
Shen Xian can really be said to be fighting alone.
Zhang Hongting looked up at the big screen, with a look of amazement in his eyes.
Then he lowered his head, stopped thinking about it, and wrote the second poem with peace of mind.
This time he also wrote a seven-character quatrain.
Two oars split the spring green waves,
Green mountains and floating snow are reflected in the mirror.
Suddenly a startled egret flew away through the clouds.
Bring the morning glow into the painting.
The first sentence still starts with a dynamic stroke, creating the mood of dawn. The second sentence is the reflection of the flourishing green mountains. The third sentence is a lively moment that breaks the silence. The fourth sentence is dotted with the glow of the sunset, concluding with a painting.
Zhang Hongting is very good at writing in this style, which makes people feel as if they are in the scene and tells the story of oriental aesthetics.
"No. 37 shot again, this time it was 7 points!"
"I don't know which poetry association No. 37 is from, but he's very strong. This one is still of a high standard!"
Everyone was talking about it, and many people felt a sense of pressure.
Is it so strong at the beginning?
Soon, various poems appeared on the big screen, but were then constantly erased at a very fast speed.
The nine judges are just like the teachers who mark the papers. If some of the papers have the wrong rhythm, they will just cross them out without carefully examining them.
Fortunately, all submissions this time were anonymous and there was no favoritism or fraud, so many people had no complaints.
It can be considered fair and just.
If your poems fail to attract others at first sight, who can you blame?
After Zhang Hongting finished writing, he took a break. Yao Duoer came over and said, "Professor Zhang, this time's champion shouldn't be a problem, right?"
Zhang Hongting shook his head: "It's hard to say. I was surprised that the first poem scored 9 points. I wonder if there will be more best-seller poems later."
This is very possible.
Because the first song is usually not that strong, it is just thrown in to test the waters.
As time goes by, the quality of poetry becomes higher.
Especially in the second stage, the judges randomly select questions from the question bank, and it is very likely that none of the poems they prepared in advance will be used.
"Player No. 45, got 8 points!"
The broadcast on the big screen interrupted Zhang Hongting's thoughts.
He narrowed his eyes, and sure enough, the masters began to emerge here.
One shot is eight points.
Shen Xian also looked at the poem, which was a five-character quatrain.
The sun melts thousands of acres of snow,
The wind blows the silk across the river.
I want to borrow a glass cup.
Measure spring into the painting boat.
This five-character quatrain compares the entire Dongting Lake to a glass cup and incorporates the entire spring scenery into the painted boat, which can be regarded as very artistic.
So eight points were given.
Shen Xian then began typing a poem on his phone.
Looking at Dongting Lake
The lake light and the autumn moon are in harmony; the pond surface is calm and the mirror is unpolished.
Looking at the green mountains and waters of Dongting Lake from afar, there is a green snail in the silver plate.
This poem was written by Liu Yuxi in the Tang Dynasty. The whole poem was written from the perspective of a moonlit night, taking in the thousand-mile Dongting Lake in one glance and capturing the most representative scenery of lakes and mountains. With light strokes, the poem reproduced the beauty of Dongting Lake on paper in a unique way through rich imagination and clever metaphors, showing amazing artistic skills.
Even though it is spring now, many people, after reading this poem, feel as if they are pulled into that moonlit night and see the vast Dongting Lake.
In the hall, the originally noisy environment became quiet at this moment.
Zhang Hongting's breathing stagnated when he saw this.
This poem... is so powerful!
He felt that even if he were given ten lifetimes, he would never be able to write something like this!
On the ninth floor, after seeing this, the nine judges all raised their heads and looked at each other, and they all saw the shock in each other's eyes.
"A green snail on a silver plate...what a clever metaphor!" Song Yiyao spoke in a soft voice, feeling a sense of frustration inside.
Normally, she was known as the most talented woman in Kyoto, proficient in poetry, songs, and parallel prose. But now, it seemed that her little knowledge was nothing.
Look at the number again, 108!
Song Yiyao's heart skipped a beat for no apparent reason.
Is it him?
It must be him.
In her impression, no one could write such beautiful poetry.
Not sure, let’s wait and see.
Then a broadcast sounded on the big screen: "No. 108, "Looking at Dongting Lake", got points, 9 points!"
"Fuck, this No. 108 is so strong, who is he?"
"Two songs have been released, each of them scored 9 points!"
"No. 108 may not be an individual, but a team. But no matter what, No. 108 is a bit stronger this year. It is very likely that he will beat Zhang Hongting and break Zhang Hongting's six-game winning streak!"
