Documentary Prose of Grain Rain Poetry Society in Yihuang County

At about 9: 50 am on April 22nd, a group of five people from Nancheng County who participated in the Grain Rain Poetry Society arrived at Yihuang International Hotel. The lobby of the hotel had already arranged for the staff of the local propaganda department to receive the report. We registered our names, QQ numbers or WeChat one by one, and then the staff gave us the room card and said, Teacher XXX, what room do you live in? This is the room card. I suddenly felt a little uneasy and ashamed when I heard them call me that. I thought to myself: how can I deserve the lofty title of "teacher"

After checking in, we will find our own room to rest. Fuxiang and Honggen live in Room 2 19, and Jin Hu and I live in Room 706. Wang Guilin, a lesbian, was arranged to share a room with the same man. As a result, when asked by the conference group, she realized that her gender was wrong in the registration list. Afterwards, we joked with Wang Guilin that she was lucky to be arranged to attend a poetry meeting with a handsome guy for the first time. Life may be like this, there are always unknown things waiting for you.

There are no other activities after signing up in the morning, so I can only stay in my room and chat. Jin Hu said: I should have told Fuxiang to drive to Cao Shan Temple in the morning, but I didn't go this time, so it's hard to get a chance to go again. At 2: 30 in the afternoon, I began to listen to the poetry creation class given by famous foreign teachers in the conference center on the first floor. The famous artists coming here this time are: Lin Mang, editor-in-chief of Poetry Exploration magazine; Jane, president of Selected Poems magazine; Ouyang Yu, an Australian Chinese and poet translator; And Huang Lihai, editor-in-chief of Chinese and Western Poetry and a famous poet. Longquan, Deputy Secretary-General of the Municipal Party Committee, and Liu Guofang, Chairman of the Municipal Writers Association, also attended the poetry meeting. Besides, they are writers and poets from various countries.

At this poetry meeting, three foreign teachers, Mr. Liu Guofang and Secretary-General Longquan, gave speeches respectively. The first class was given by Mr. Lin Mang. I have known Mr. Lin Mang for a long time, and his name is also very famous in the poetry circle. But this is the first time I've seen a real person. Teacher Lin Mang has a kind face, his temples have been dyed with white hair, and he exudes a feeling of everyone. Because I forgot to bring my pen and notebook, I can't remember the lectures of several teachers clearly, so what I can describe here is only a rough idea. Teacher Lin Mang probably talked about four aspects: first, poetry should convey emotions and integrate the joys and sorrows in daily life into poetry creation; Secondly, poetry should convey life experience and connect your inner feelings with the words of poetry; Thirdly, poetry should convey a breath. It is necessary to convey a magical atmosphere through the collision of words, so that people can have a lingering sound after reading; Fourth, poetry should pay more attention to the similarities of human society, and don't spend too much time and energy on small emotions, small truths and other things.

The second lecturer is a concise teacher. The concise teacher talked a lot, but I can still recall two points: First, nouns and verbs should be used more than adjectives in poetry. From this perspective, the concise teacher also made an analogy. He said, if you use adjectives too much in your poems, it's like a farmer pulling a cart of dung across the road; The second is the problem of poets using pen names. He said that people who have not won any literary prizes should not use pen names, and he advocated using real names, which are authentic and credible. Concise also said: a person who has no experience in writing poems for more than ten years, it is best not to read foreign poems. In this case, is it a bit extreme and one-sided? I'll put it here for the time being. I think smart poets and friends all have their own opinions.

The third teacher is Huang Lihai, the editor-in-chief of Chinese and Western Poetry and a famous poet. Mr. Huang Lihai is a native of Guangzhou, with flowing semi-long hair, a pair of eyes like little goldfish, a baby face and a tube sheet. On his back, he wrote, "We treat each other sincerely, but we say we treat each other honestly." The cloth bag printed with the word ""gives the impression of a poet with a child's breath. Teacher Huang Lihai speaks softly and calmly. He spoke very well, but unfortunately I can't remember it clearly now. He said that when writing poetry, we should use less public characters and less alliteration sentences. He also advocated using nouns and verbs more than adjectives when writing poems. Poetry writing should be improved in language, through the flexible use of language, through language and everything outside; Let readers enter an unknown and mysterious world through your poems. He also said that a good poet must have a strong ability to absorb good words and apply them to poetry; A poet must completely open his five senses to perceive and feel the outside world.

The fourth lecturer is Liu Guofang. Teacher Liu Guofang told us his feelings about writing short stories. He said that writing novels and writing poems should be interlinked. Teacher Liu Guofang summed up her creative experience as "poetic". Poetry means that the work should be poetic; Love, works with rich feelings; Painting, a good work should have a sense of picture, as full of artistic conception as Wang Wei's poems. Meaning, works must have social significance, can reflect the real life, reflect the times. Although Mr Liu Guofang doesn't often write poems, his short stories are very poetic. Don't believe me, I'll give you some works: Wind chimes, Playing the flute till dawn, Little Girl Picking Ears of Rice, Watching geese fly again, Black Butterfly and so on. I like the beautiful sadness and emptiness in Liu Guofang's works.

Finally, Mr. Longquan made a wonderful concluding speech and also talked about his own experience in poetry creation. He said that a person should be persistent in writing poetry, not too utilitarian, and should calm down and observe life, read more books and communicate more. He also said that when writing poetry, you should write more about things around you, and the details of writing poetry are very important. From teacher Longquan's speech, we can see that he really understands poetry and really likes it.

After the teacher's lecture, he listened to the PTP courseware of Shakespeare and Tang Xianzu, which was held by Mr. Huang Lihai in Guangzhou. At first, everyone looked at it seriously, and gradually people left a lot. Something as tall as this belongs to the spring breeze and melts snow. Not many people really appreciate it, including myself.

In the evening, my classmates from Yihuang County invited Cheng Nan and Jinxi Poet to have dinner at Marriott Hotel. At the dinner table, everyone didn't touch a drop of wine, and everyone only ate drinks. After dinner, the poet Jinxi drove back to the hotel, and five Cheng Nan poets strolled along the Yishui River to see the night view of Yihuang County.

The next day's activity was to attend a poetry recital arranged in Geping Village, Yihuang County. At half past six in the morning, I got up and walked around the hotel alone. Yihuang County is a mountainous area with a large temperature difference between day and night. Walking along the Yishui River, it is chilly in spring. There is a faint light on the horizon, but lilacs bloom well and small white flowers are covered with branches. We have breakfast at seven and leave the hotel at eight sharp. Those who don't have a car take the bus arranged by the conference group, and those who have a car drive by themselves. Geping Village belongs to Taopi Township, Yihuang, which takes less than 20 minutes by car. Yihuang County deserves to be a mountainous county. Geping Village has mountains on one side and water on three sides. After crossing the single-plank bridge, it is a beautiful scenery with trees and green grass.

Before the official start of the activity, a leader delivered a speech. Minister of Propaganda Department of Yihuang County Committee and Chairman of Municipal Federation of Literary and Art Circles made opening speeches respectively, which laid the foundation for the following poetry reading. Today, the weather is sunny, the sun is warm and the atmosphere at the scene is very warm. Many villagers came here to watch this program. I took advantage of the time between talking with several poetry friends in Jinxi to find an opportunity to talk face to face with Mr. Huang and ask for advice. I, Haiyao, Zhang Jian and Shan Mian all gave their poems to Mr. Huang for comments. When commenting on my work, Mr. Huang said: Your poem has a sense of language and rhythm, but it is still a little thin and lacks deeper things. This aspect needs to be strengthened in the future. After listening to the teacher's face-to-face comments, I suddenly realized. I seem to have found a way to open the door to poetry, and I will persist and work hard on the road of poetry creation.
