In December 1949, Mao Zedong's trip to the Soviet Union, often with the Soviet interpreter, sinologist Federline conversation. Federline often consulted Mao Zedong on a number of issues in Chinese literature, and Mao Zedong was also eloquent about it. Federling made these conversations. These conversations are really wonderful poetry.
Fei Delin asked Mao Zedong to talk about the "Book of Songs", he believes that "the Book of Songs" "is undoubtedly the highest model of Chinese poetry."
Mao Zedong said: "The Book of Songs" is the essence of Chinese poetry .It is derived from folk creation .All are unknown author .Creation of the time has been unable to check .This document to the past that old age with us. The poetry of the early Chinese aesthetics, this poem is true, easy to understand, the language is very concise.
"Is it because of this reason that for thousands of years the Book of Songs has always been a sample of imitation of Chinese poets?
Mao Zedong replied: "Yes, this is no problem .It can be said that the poetry of the poem of the later thought of each have had an impact.The problem is how to understand these ancient folk creation.This is the essence of the problem. For those who do not understand or misinterpret, we do not have to say, we can recall those who not only understand and try to imitate this ancient poetics, they imitate not only its rhetorical characteristics, but also inherited the " "The essence of the content of folk creation.
"You mean the most successful poet in the creation of the unnamed predecessors?"
Mao Zedong said:
Yeah. It can be said that this is the language of art and poetry in the development of the most valuable image content. The innate talent of the ancient unnamed is to turn their ideas into concise poetry and songs. "
Fei Delin said: "According to the history of Chinese literature, said in the" Book of Songs "after the nameless author, second to none of the Qu Yuan, he is the first poet with creative personality.
Mao said: "Oh, this is your favorite subject matter, but this issue is not so simple to talk about. Qu, Quyuan lived where I am quite familiar with, is my hometown. So we Qu Yuan, his We are the descendants of this poet of genius, we are particularly deep feelings for him, but now people may not Hello, they do not necessarily understand the Qu Yuan .Therefore, The great achievements.
"I think, because of the local relationship, even if the peers are separated for many generations, there is a direct feeling of Qu Yuan, their evaluation of the poet is more persuasive.
Mao Zedong said: "However, the home of the commemoration of Qu Yuan is very insignificant, not to mention the poet 's time has been more than two thousand years, for his fate, each generation has its own views.
Fei Delin said: "Any great change in history will have some joys and sorrows of the story.As for Qu Yuan, political change is his personal misfortune.Qu Yuan painstakingly through his time, he was concerned about the people, to save the Chu Danger.
