Chapter 273 Tang poetry, Song lyrics and Yuan opera!



"Thank you, young master. The conflicts between my brother and them will not get worse in the future." Li Lizhi said sincerely.

"It's a bit strange for Wu Niang to say this."

"This is a big deal. I've troubled you with so many things. I don't know how to repay you."

"Wu Niang, this is too formal. Being formal means you're treating me like an outsider!"

Li Lizhi smiled and said nothing more.

Empress Changsun and Li Shimin did not rest, but returned to the desk and sat down.

"Alas, Chengqian and Qingque are like this. It is my fault as a father that I have failed in my duty." Li Shimin blamed himself.

"Your Majesty, don't say that. It's right for you to dote on Qingque. It's natural for a father to love his son, and Qingque is also a filial child."

"Xiao Ran has done me another favor this time by discovering this hidden problem and resolving it in a timely manner."

"I didn't expect this to happen. Since the two children didn't tell anyone, I guess few people knew about it. Your Majesty is busy with all sorts of things, so it's normal that he didn't notice..."

Empress Changsun kept comforting Li Shimin, which made Li Shimin feel much better.

"Xiao Ran... He's really different. He always sees problems that others don't care about. This kid is becoming more and more interesting."

Li Shimin smiled.

"He's a nice person." Empress Changsun always had a good impression of Xiao Ran.

Li Shimin, Empress Zhangsun, Li Lizhi and Li Chengqian all remembered Xiao Ran's kindness in this matter.

“It’s really good.”

Li Shimin also felt that something was not right between Xiao Ran and Li Lizhi.

Li Shimin more or less understood what Li Lizhi meant when she looked at Xiao Ran.

mini went straight back to the villa garage.

Xiao Ran got out of the car, picked up the little princess, and went back to the second floor.

The little princess doesn’t need to wash up, she can just go to sleep.

Xiao Ran let the little princess go to bed, and then he heard a knock on the door.

"Come in!"

Li Lizhi entered the bedroom and asked, "Young Master, are you ready to rest?"

"No, it's too early. I can't sleep."

"Me too..."

"Then let's go to the hall to watch TV and chat!" Xiao Ran suggested.

"Okay." Li Lizhi couldn't ask for more.

The two of them went downstairs, and everyone else went back to rest, leaving only Xiao Ran and Li Lizhi in the hall.

"Young Master, the poem you mentioned before was really well written."

"It is indeed very good. It was written by the poet Wang Wei." Xiao Ran was too embarrassed to take the blame on himself and could not hide it.

"Poet Buddha? Are there other similar titles?"

"Yes, there are also the Immortal Poet, the Sage Poet, the Devil Poet, and so on. They are all from the Tang Dynasty. The Tang Dynasty had many great poets."

"What did you mean by that scene where the gates of heaven opened to the sky and people from all over the world bowed to the emperor?" Li Lizhi asked.

"It's about the city of Chang'an during the heyday of the Tang Dynasty~"

"The Immortal Poet, the Buddha Poet, and the Sage Poet all lived in the same era. That was the peak of the Tang Dynasty. There were also many great scholars and poets, including the Saint of Painting, the Saint of Cursive Script, and the master of regular script. This master of regular script even wrote the second best running script in the world!"

"How interesting it would be to have so many brilliant people in one era!" Li Lizhi longed for it.

"It's really interesting. The Immortal Poet and the Buddha Poet don't get along. The Sage Poet deeply adores and admires the Immortal Poet."

"The status of a saint should be higher than that of an immortal. Why does the Sage of Poet admire the Immortal of Poet? Shouldn't others admire the Sage of Poet?"

Li Lizhi didn't quite understand this.

"The Sage of Poetry rose to prominence later, and he was equally talented. However, the most talented poet in the Tang Dynasty is the Immortal Poet. There is no doubt about this. Li Bai is the undisputed number one, and he is also the most famous. Even more than a thousand years later, his works are still praised by many people."

"Li Bai...the Immortal Poet." Li Lizhi remembered the name.

"The Sage Poet commented on the Immortal Poet Li Bai: 'His writings stir up storms and his poems move the spirits and gods to tears!'"

Li Lizhi was shocked. This was recognition from top writers!

"Looks really impressive."

"Someone else said of Li Bai, 'When wine enters his heroic stomach, seven parts turn into moonlight, the remaining three parts roar into sword energy, and a single word from his embroidered mouth conveys half of the prosperous Tang Dynasty.'"

"How interesting! It seems the Immortal Poet also loves to drink."

"That's natural. A bold person will definitely drink."

Li Lizhi thought for a moment and said, "Young Master, who are the best regular script writers in the world? Or is the Lanting Preface the best?"

Li Lizhi also had speculations.

"Well, even after more than a thousand years, the Lanting Preface remained an unsurpassed existence. It's a pity that it can't be found. I don't know where it went."

"That's a pity. Who is the second one?"

"Yan Zhenqing! He was a master of regular script, but by some strange coincidence, he also wrote the second best running script in the world, which still stands today for over a thousand years."

There were too many things Xiao Ran didn't say. He didn't want to talk about things like the Anshi Rebellion.

So annoying!

"It seems that the Tang Dynasty poetry world is full of talented people!"

Xiao Ran nodded. "If we were to label the Tang Dynasty with a cultural label, it would definitely be 'poetry'. If we were to label poetry with an era, it would definitely be 'Tang Dynasty'."

Li Lizhi understood Xiao Ran's meaning, "The poetry of the Tang Dynasty seems to be unique!"

"Yes! People in later generations like to talk about Tang poetry, Song lyrics, Yuan opera, Ming and Qing novels! In fact, the culture of the Song Dynasty was also prosperous, and the poetry and lyrics of the Song Dynasty were all amazing. Not only the lyrics were amazing, but there were also many poems, and there were also many popular chapters. But it feels like it's just not up to par."

"I personally feel that only the soil of the prosperous Tang Dynasty could produce so many different masterpieces. I feel that the poetry of the Song Dynasty is not as good as it used to be."

"The difference between the two is not only in the writing style, but also in the atmosphere."

"During the heyday of the Tang Dynasty, there was Li Bai's boldness, unrestrained imagination, and ethereal elegance. There was Du Fu's melancholy and tragic grandeur. There was Gao Shi's generosity and tragic grandeur in his frontier poems, and Cen Shen's romantic and heroic spirit."

"These characteristics are no longer seen in Song poetry. Instead, Song poetry is more about the perception of daily life. I feel that the poetry of the High Tang Dynasty is like a masculine young man, while the poetry of the Song Dynasty is like a steady and mature old man."

"I like the confidence, openness and boldness inherent in the Tang Dynasty poets. Song Dynasty poets are more concerned about the country and the people, feeling depressed and frustrated."

Xin Qiji, Yue Fei, Wen Tianxiang, Lu You and other well-known people in the Song Dynasty were all talented, but unfortunately they were born in the Song Dynasty, which destined them to tragedy.

There are few people as bold, optimistic and open-minded as Su Shi.

"The Tang Dynasty in my mind cannot be compared to the Song Dynasty. There is no comparison at all."

Li Lizhi was also happy to hear Xiao Ran praising the Tang Dynasty so much.

"I would also like to read these poems if I have the chance." Li Lizhi is looking forward to it.

"Okay, this isn't hard to find. Nowadays, students learn Tang and Song poetry from a young age."

Li Lizhi really wanted to know about the poetry of the Tang Dynasty and what kind of sparks were created by the literati and writers of the prosperous Tang Dynasty.

Li Lizhi kept asking Xiao Ran a lot of questions about the Tang Dynasty.

It’s mainly about poetry.

"Wu Niang, don't you care about how the Tang Dynasty will develop in the future?"

"I have no objection to this now that I know it. Many things will not happen, and even if they do, it's not something I can control. I won't add to my worries."
