Chapter 1151 Recitation
Su Yi explained the deep meaning of Gong Wei's answer to the audience, and everyone thought he was amazing. It was not easy for him to think of a poem that met the requirements of Feihualing in such a short time. Anyway, when they heard the word "cloud", their minds were empty. They couldn't think of it even if they were given 30 minutes, let alone 30 seconds.
"There really are hidden talents among the delivery guys. Even if Gong Wei didn't win today, I still admire him!"
After Gong Wei, it was the turn of Liu?, who ranked second. She recited a line from "Li Sao", "Riding the eight dragons gently, carrying the cloud flags windingly." She read the poem not as fast or hurriedly as Gong Wei, but slowly. At the same time, the sentence she said appeared word by word on the TV screen, and the word "cloud" was circled in red as a highlighted reminder.
If the poem that the answerer reads does not meet the requirements, or reads it wrong, the audience can see it immediately, instead of waiting for the expert to analyze it. Obviously, Liu?'s answer is correct. After a round of applause, it is the turn of contestant No. 1. He has more time to think than the previous two, so he almost blurts out, "White clothes and red embroidery, follow you to the swan. Now that I have seen a gentleman, why should I worry?"
The applause became even more enthusiastic, and the host smiled and said, "Today's three contestants are all familiar with the Book of Songs and Chu Ci. It seems that the 'Flying Flower Order' is not difficult for them."
He looked at Gong Wei, "Now it's Gong Wei's turn again, what is your answer?"
"The wind and rain are dark, and the cocks are crowing. How can I not be happy to see a gentleman?" Gong Wei was no longer in a hurry. He imitated Liu Bei's posture and recited the poem in a steady tone. With his dark brown robe, who could tell that he was a delivery boy? After he finished speaking, his cheerleaders stood up, and his wife shouted happily and excitedly, feeling very proud of her husband.
It is worth mentioning that the Book of Songs is a typical writing style of Fu, Bi, and Xing. In order to express emotions, it has many parallel sentences, almost whole paragraphs are similar, and only some synonyms or words of the same type are used to replace them.
For example, Gong Wei’s answer just now, in the same article, there are two other sentences that can be used as answers: “云胡不夷” and “云胡不瘳”. Then the next contestant can be inspired by his answer and use it as his own answer.

The program team had anticipated this situation and explained it in the rules. The poem from the same article could not be answered a second time. Even Gong Wei himself could not use any sentence from the entire article, which made the competition more difficult.
However, the Feihualing competition had just begun, and there were still many poems to choose from. Liu? and contestant No. 1 also gave their answers one after another.
At this time, they recited a total of 6 poetic dramas containing the word "cloud", involving 6 articles, 5 of which were from the "Book of Songs". Liu? also gave an answer from the "Book of Songs" "The sky is full of clouds, rain and snow..., and it is supplemented by...?".
It was Gong Wei's turn again. He still chose the Book of Songs, "I have picked poems from Tang? The hometown of ?. Who are you thinking of? The beautiful Meng Jiang." Time was limited, so the host didn't say any more polite words. He smiled and looked at Liu ?, "Liu ?, it's your turn."
Liu Yu thought for a moment and then chanted, "Open the gates of heaven, and let me ride on the dark clouds."
In the audience, Xiong Jie said to Liang Shengnan, "You are indeed a freak who can recite the Chu Ci by heart. If I were to play this flying flower order, I would definitely fail."
"I'm afraid I can't do it either," Liang Shengnan agreed with Xiong Jie, "Have you discovered Liu's most amazing point?"
Xiong Jie nodded, "Found it."
The other three students from the Department of Classical Literature also agreed with this. “So it’s really unfair that Liu Xi is called a poor student by netizens.”
"What did you find out? What are you guys talking about?" Tao Zhiyao asked the five of them in confusion, "That Gong Wei is pretty good too. Contestant No. 1 doesn't look bad."
"No, no, their answers are fundamentally different from Liu's."
Jiang Chengfeng also turned his head and asked curiously, "What's the difference?"
He felt a little dizzy and uncomfortable, but he played the gongs and drums very hard, and the volume of his voice when he shouted "Come on" was no less than Liang Shengnan's. After shouting, he felt even more uncomfortable and listless. Since he was sitting in the front row, no one else noticed his abnormality. He didn't want to spoil the fun for others.
Just as Xiong Jie was about to speak, there was applause from the audience. It wasn't because of the wonderful answer, but because contestant No. 1 failed to catch the "flying flower" and was eliminated. Everyone sent him off. They also applauded. With this interruption, Xiong Jie couldn't explain it to Jiang Chengfeng in detail.
His departure did not mean the end of the "cloud" competition. Liu Wei and Gong Wei had to continue the competition. They were arguing with each other, neither of them giving in. The dubbing artist used more intense background sounds until Gong Wei ran out of words and shook his head at the host and the camera, "I can't think of anything."
