Chapter 1152: Admit Defeat Again
The densely packed words filled the entire screen, giving the audience a headache just by looking at them. It was hard to imagine how Liu Bei could memorize all that.
One netizen commented, "Flying Flower Order not only tests your poetry reserves, but also your mental quality. I guess her reciting almost the entire poem is not a show of skill, but a way to relieve stress. At such a critical moment, she must be more nervous than anyone else. If we encounter similar situations, we may take a deep breath, think hard, frown, and joke with the host to delay time. Liu Yu chose to recite the poem without changing her expression. When she recited the word 'cloud', she said, 'OK, stop, done.' I am convinced by her stability in on-the-spot performance. It also shows that she is indeed very confident in this aspect."
"Congratulations, Liu?, for giving the correct answer at the last minute. You recited "Mrs. Xiang" very well!"
The host hosts the "Poetry and Lyrics Gathering" every year and has dealt with countless talented men and women, but he has never seen anyone like Liu?. He had the same idea as netizens, thinking that Liu? might really not be able to think of a specific sentence with the word "cloud" at the moment, so he chose an article based on his intuition and memorized it first.
After Liu finished reciting, the audience paused for a few seconds to digest her answer before realizing that they should applaud.
At the end of this round of flying flower order, Liu? won, her score became 10 points, and Gong Wei still had 11 points. Facing everyone's applause, Liu? still smiled gracefully, while Gong Wei was convinced of his defeat.
When it was the judges' turn to comment, the three experts turned around and asked Su Yi to comment. Su Yi waved his hand modestly, "You come, you come," and he took a sip of the water cup beside him, just not wanting to argue about this matter anymore. He didn't dare to comment on the apprentice who was suspected of being self-promoting. Indeed, he did think Liu Yi's answer was perfect.
One of the judges said to the camera, "This round of flying flower order is very exciting. Although I am one of the people who set the questions, I have to admit that I can't recite the entire "Lady Xiang". I want to give a thumbs up to Liu?!"
Liu immediately bowed to him, "Thank you, teacher!"
...
...
The judge was very pleased. He looked at Gong Wei and said, "Gong Wei, first of all, it is worth affirming that you love poetry. You have a very high reserve of poetry, which can be said to be comparable to Liu?. However, although both of you are memorizing poems, your knowledge is still too superficial. Your level is far behind hers."
As soon as these words were spoken, some people in the audience booed. You have to know that these audience members were all paid actors, and they disregarded the program team's request and booed the judges, which showed how much they were dissatisfied with the judges' words. They thought that the judges looked down on the profession of delivery boys, and that there was no essential difference between the status of them, the extras, and that of the delivery boys. The audience watching the TV/live broadcast also felt that the judges were somewhat insulting to their self-esteem.
Gong Wei, the person involved, was not as excited as the audience. He faced the judges, humbly accepting criticism and asking for advice.
The judge continued, "It is useless to just recite poems when learning Chinese culture. What is more important is to understand the poems and have your own views and ideas about them. The words 'cloud', 'wind', 'flower', 'snow', and 'moon' are all commonly used in 'Flying Flower Order'. Players from ancient times to the present have all understood them as nouns, indicating a specific image. In theory, 'cloud' should be a visible polymer floating in the air, which is formed when water vapor in the atmosphere is cooled and liquefied into small water droplets. This is a scientific explanation, and poets give it more romantic expressions, such as 'skylight and cloud shadows' and 'lonely clouds and wild cranes'. However, in the Book of Songs, 'cloud' is more of an interjection, similar to '兮' and '乎', and in modern times it is '啊' and '吧'."
After hearing this, the audience was still confused, but Gong Wei had already understood what the judges meant and his expression changed.
"Gong Wei," the judges called his name again, "You should have noticed that in the flying flower order just now, the 'cloud' in all your answers is an interjection, 'cloud who thinks', 'cloud why not happy'... Of course, when we made the rules, we did not make any restrictions on the part of speech, so there is no problem with your answer. But you can recall Liu?'s answer, 'cloud flag', 'shangtiantongyun'... In her answer, every 'cloud' is a concrete expression, and she would not choose the interjection 'cloud'. This is the difference between you!"
The judges' comments were very sharp, and Tao Zhiyao, Jiang Chengfeng and the others suddenly realized what was going on. Tao Zhiyao said to Liang Shengnan, "No wonder you said Liu was amazing just now."
"You are quite good. You can tell the problem as soon as you listen to it. You are just like the judges." Sun Weiwei thought she was good at Chinese, but compared with these supermen in the Department of Classical Literature, her Chinese knowledge was probably just the level of illiteracy?
