The ancients loved to write poems, and there was no shortage of paper. Why do they often write them on the wall?

Many people think that writing poetry needs to be written in books and on paper in order to be considered as writing. However, in the developed environment of modern media, many people will write online. For example, we can write articles in the headlines, discuss problems in post bars, and even watch a video barrage to discuss the plot with you. So how can they express their feelings and communicate with their friends when the ancient media is underdeveloped? Similarly, if we understand the wall as the wall of the ancients? Friends circle? Spread the work like this, hoping to get more people's? Do you like it? It's easy to understand.

Writing poems on the wall is more open and enjoyable.

The ancients wrote poems in? On the wall? It is a particularly important way of literary creation and communication, which is very different from writing on paper. Under normal circumstances, writing on paper is a private act, and the scope of circulation is limited. Writing on the wall is more open, at least those passers-by can stop and have a look. This can stimulate readers and authors to form an emotional voice, which transcends the limitations of time and space. Because a poem becomes attached, it provides a platform for communication between the two sides, and it can also be carried out by a willing heart? And poetry? Make the work more exciting. For example, Tang poets Yuan Zhen and Bai Juyi wrote poems on the wall. Yuan Zhen wrote in Poems on the Wall of Kaiyuan Temple in Quzhou:

Yi Jun didn't intend to write your poem. Who should I write thousands of lines to? The problem lies in the wall of Langzhou East Temple. When do you know when it's time to see you?

Yuan Zhen went to Kaiyuan Temple in Langzhou, wrote a poem on the wall of Kaiyuan Temple and wrote it to Bai Letian. I miss you now, but I can't see you. I can only write one poem for you. I don't know when I can see you again! ? Soon, Bai Juyi wrote back to Yuan Zhen. However, Bai Juyi did not write on the same wall, but on the screen. "Answer Micro" wrote in the poem:

You write my poems, and I write your sentences all over the screen. When I met you, I knew where it was, in the ocean of two duckweeds.

Imagine that modern stars send friends to Aite's good friends, which can quickly search online and get a lot of attention. And the ancient stars Yuan Zhen and Ai Te Bai Juyi can't get a lot of attention in public? Once poetry wins the public's attention, it will gain greater communication and influence.

Ancient literati wrote poems, which generally represented literati with high status and reputation. They are not short of money, let alone paper. But they write poems not on paper, but on the wall, not because they are frugal, but because they want to use them? Walls? This kind of open media makes the works spread better and faster and get more people's attention. Compared with the high price of paper printing, it is a good thing to kill two birds with one stone!

Writing poems on the wall is more diachronic and continuous.

Compared with the weak preservation of paper, the wall can actually span the historical changes and be more preserved. In ancient times, when wars were frequent and dynasties changed frequently, many excellent poems were carved on bamboo slips and copied on paper, which could not avoid people's losses in the process of escape, resulting in a fault in poetry culture. Writing poems on the wall can have a longer continuity, and it can also let people in different dynasties see the poems of the previous dynasty, and they have a sense of * * * and talk about comfort. Du Fu, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, wrote in "The Taoist Temple of Yuelu Mountain":

Once I cover my heart again, tits are my friends. Song Gong exiled Zeng Tibi to find a place to live and live with the old man.

From the poem? Song Gong? Song Wenzhi, a poet in the early Tang Dynasty, was banished to Qinzhou for accepting bribes in the first year of Jingyun (7 10). When he passed Changsha, a poem was carved on the wall of the temple. At this time, Du Fu wandered to Yuezhou after the Anshi Rebellion, and wrote this poem on the city wall, expressing his sad feelings of unfulfilled ambition and family and people. In the Northern Song Dynasty, Xin Qiji and Shi said? A pine and a bamboo are true friends, and the mountain flowers and birds are good brothers? As a famous bold poet, Xin Qiji took? Friends of pine and bamboo? 、? Brother flower and bird? The peace poems reflect his anxiety about Du Fu's wandering and his sadness about the decline and fall of the country, thus achieving the effect of empathy and sympathy.

This kind of induction? Poet? There are countless cases of harmonious continuation in history. But there are also poets who write poems so well because of their predecessors, so? Stop writing and sing? The poet Li Bai is such a person. We all know that Li Bai, a poet in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, was a genius, but even the genius was impressed? Poetry on the wall? Cui Hao's Yellow Crane Tower wrote: The fairy of the past has flown away by the yellow crane, leaving only an empty Yellow Crane Tower. The yellow crane never revisited earth, there have been no long white clouds for thousands of years. ? After arriving at the Yellow Crane Tower, Li Bai has prepared his pen and ink, and he is also ready to show his talents. After reading Cui Hao's poems, he even said:

There is a scene in front of me in which Cui Hao wrote a poem.

On the one hand, Li Bai affirmed the excellent writing style of Cui Hao's Yellow Crane Tower; On the other hand, it also reflects that the ancients wrote poems on the wall, which can be seen by more people and even stimulate their desire to create. It is precisely because of the diachronic spread of poetry that more poets constantly hone their writing skills while learning other people's creative techniques.

The ancients wrote poems on the wall, which can withstand the erosion of time and the tempering of years, making the poems spread for a longer time and have a wider space for continuation. When poets in different dynasties see the poems on the wall, they will associate themselves with their own situation, thus awakening the poet's creative mood and creating better poems.

Love to the depths, can't stop, not ready to be with you? Pen and ink?

If ancient people wanted to write poems on paper, they had to go through a series of complicated preparation procedures, such as laying paper, grinding ink and washing pens. It is not as convenient as modern people to write with mobile phone notes, but the inspiration is fleeting. If you really went through such a complicated procedure, you might have forgotten it long ago. Therefore, expressing your emotions directly on the wall is simply the best creative means.

In addition, the way of inscribing poems was very popular in the Tang and Song Dynasties, when the traffic was relatively developed. Under the influence of the imperial examination system, scholars also began to travel around the world. This situation makes the literati stay in a foreign land, their careers are bumpy and they are homesick, which inevitably leads to a series of emotions. When he wants to write, he doesn't have to take a lot of paper and pens with him to create, but to write on the wall. For example, Ye Shaoweng, a poet in the Song Dynasty, once visited a friend who was not at home. He felt that it was not easy to walk all the way, so he wrote a poem in front of his friend's house called "It's not worth going to the park", which read:

Perhaps my master was worried that my wooden shoes trampled his precious moss and tapped Chai Men lightly, but no one opened it for a long time. But this spring spring, after all, can't be caged. Look, there is a pink apricot sticking out of the wall.

What happened when Ye Shaoweng wrote this poem? Is your friend not here? Loss and? Visiting friends? His wings of hope collided, and his inner psychology was very complicated. He wants to come another day. He thinks his friend will come back soon. In this embarrassing and tangled mood, he wrote this seven-character quatrain. Excuse me, did Ye Shaoweng bring pen, ink, paper and inkstone when he came? Hahaha, it is definitely impossible, so it is the most convenient way to write poems on the wall when poets are in love. Yan Yu in the Southern Song Dynasty said in Canglang Poetry:

Poets, chanting temperament also.

It just shows that when writing poetry, the literati express their true inner feelings, express their feelings and express the poet's spiritual world with the help of poetry. Here, Yan Yu did not ask the poet to write poems on paper, so the ancients wrote poems as a way to stretch their temperament, and it doesn't matter where they were written.

It's really amazing that the ancients wrote poems. They can write them on cliffs, post offices, temples, terraces and even walls. This unique literary creation is the improvisation of poets, which shows their outstanding strength. They love to write poems, but they love to show their temperament more, hoping to be appreciated and understood by others. Writing on the wall is like opening a circle of friends, which will get more people to stop and watch, understand and experience, and even feed back with poems. This kind? Do you like it? The way is indeed different from today's, but it has expanded the spread of the works, made them stand the test of time and comforted people in different dynasties.
