Chapter 464 This poem is unlike anything written in this world!

The next day.

Headlines were filled with stories of how people across the country celebrated the Mid-Autumn Festival, and Ye Xian was naturally a frequent topic of discussion.

#A Dream of Red Mansions Mid-Autumn Festival Wonderland: The Moon Palace

#Chen Xu's "Guanghan Palace"

#Ye Xian's "May We All Live Long and Prosper"

#The movie "Hello Mr. Billionaire" sponsors Haizhou Mid-Autumn Festival fireworks display

Literary veterans praise "May We All Live Long and Prosper"

……

The trending topics were impossible to suppress. Even though Ye Xian was still filming on set that morning, many media outlets had already flocked to him, waiting to interview him.

This time, the trending topic is different from the previous ones because literary giant Hua Yan published an article overnight, praising Ye Xian's "May We All Live Long and Prosper".

If Ye Xian was previously just a singer-songwriter in the entertainment industry, his three high-quality works, "A Simplified Version of Dream of the Red Chamber," "Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio," and "Romance of the Three Kingdoms," as well as the popular TV series adaptation of "Dream of the Red Chamber," have made the literary world less resistant to him, an entertainment figure, crossing over to write books and screenplays.

So, this poem has now earned him a certain status in the literary world.

Books are easy to write, but poems are difficult.

Writing articles is easy, but poetry is hard to pass down through generations.

A good poem is easier to spread than a good article.

I was never a fan of Ye Xian before, and I scoffed at the phenomenon of idolizing celebrities in the entertainment industry. In my eyes, they were all uncultured and talentless people, mere products that had been packaged up. But after hearing the song "May We All Live Long and Prosper" last night, I realized how shallow I had been.

"May we all live long and share the beauty of the moon, though separated by a thousand miles." This single line alone, I feel, surpasses all contemporary literary works! Such a broad-minded and optimistic attitude is truly worthy of Xian Ge, who always loves writing inspirational songs!

[Anyone who says Brother Xian can't drink? I'll be the first to disagree! Could someone write lyrics like this without drinking? Throughout history, only the poet Li Bai could write with such grandeur: "When will the moon be clear and bright? With cup in hand, I ask the blue sky; I wonder what year it is in the celestial palace today?"]

[Isn't this overestimating Ye Xian? How can he be compared to the poet Li Bai? I'm not trying to be argumentative, but I find this poem rather unremarkable. I could write lines like "People have sorrow and joy, separation and reunion; the moon has its phases of waxing and waning," except for the last line, "This has been so since ancient times," which is where it gets a little interesting and immediately widens the gap between me and a genius like Ye Xian!]

……

After spreading overnight, many online writers and keyboard warriors were drawn out, and everyone commented on the song's lyrics in their own way.

To everyone's surprise, no one criticized the lyrics in the comments section. At most, some haters argued that everyone was praising Ye Xian too much and that he should be careful not to fall.

However, few people paid attention to this sour grapes behavior.

……

At noon, the Royal Observer published a lengthy editorial entitled "Ye Xian's Romance: Sending Longing Across a Thousand Miles Under the Bright Moon," once again putting Ye Xian in the spotlight.

"Ye Xian released a new song last night. With Ye Xian's creativity and talent, his songs have always been very popular with listeners. However, last night's song, 'May We All Live Long and Prosper,' not only amazed his fans, but also amazed the literary world of the Tang Dynasty."

From a literary and artistic perspective, this poem is ingeniously conceived, takes a unique approach, and is full of romanticism. If it is not the best Mid-Autumn Festival poem in history, it is definitely among the best.

In terms of its expressive techniques and structure, this poem is lofty and insightful, with unexpected twists and turns... It concludes with a graceful and leisurely ending, blending reality and illusion...

The entire poem is lofty in its conception, novel in its design, and fresh and picturesque in its imagery... It not only expresses Ye Xian's longing for his family, but also conveys his magnanimous and optimistic outlook on life and his best wishes for his loved ones, making it rich in philosophy and human sentiment.

Longing, affection, romance, magnanimity, blessings… every line of this poem is exquisite, possessing the romance of the poet Li Bai, as well as his unique boldness…

Before writing this editorial, I paid a special visit to the literary giant, Mr. Hua Yan. Mr. Hua Yan praised this poem, "May We All Live Long and Prosper," saying: "Of all the Mid-Autumn Festival poems, since Ye Xian's 'May We All Live Long and Prosper,' all other poems have become obsolete."

The editor also strongly agrees with Teacher Hua Yan's point of view. It is truly a great fortune in life for those in the Tang Dynasty who cannot reunite with their families during the Mid-Autumn Festival to receive this song!

This poem seems otherworldly!

... "

[This newspaper is so big, don't you get a holiday? You guys worked so hard to praise Brother Xian, I'll pay your overtime! I only have one request: if you know how to praise him, praise him more, don't be so subtle, praise him to the point.]

【I'm numb! Is this still our Xian-ge? We agreed to be good students together, how could you skip grades and go straight from being a top student to a "literary figure"?】

[All other words are useless! Teacher Hua Yan's evaluation is actually so high? When did my little darling become so amazing? How come I didn't know? I'm so panicked, will more slutty and cheap women come to steal my Xian-ge away?]

[This...this...how are Sun Ying, Li Ming, Ai Lele, Hua Yuyu, and the like supposed to handle this? They were all just messing around in one rut, and suddenly Brother Xian built a new one, telling them, "This is what a swimming pool should be!" Then, just as Sun Ying and the others were cursing and preparing to climb out of that lousy pool, Brother Xian suddenly jumped into the ocean! He's not from your world anymore, he's out there in the air and in the sea! Can you believe it?]

……

The Royal Observer has praised Ye Xian so many times that many late-night snacks no longer seem like a big deal; it's just standard practice.

With the Royal Observer inviting Mr. Hua Yan to provide commentary, especially the comment "all other words are useless," Ye Xian was elevated to an unparalleled level, attracting even more literary talents to the scene.

Many people have claimed that they will challenge Ye Xian's "May We All Live Long and Prosper" and trample this poem underfoot.

The late-night snack group was initially a little confused, but later someone explained why they did it that way.

There is no first place in literature, but there is a second place in martial arts. When Xian Ge's poem was criticized by the literary master Hua Yan as "all other poems are useless", this was already the highest praise for Xian Ge. So, these people who came out at this time naturally wanted to step on Xian Ge to rise to the top.

However, few possess genuine talent, so many are simply using this opportunity to ride on Brother Xian's fame and popularity to elevate themselves. If you don't believe me, soon a large number of people will present their own Mid-Autumn Festival poems claiming they are better than Brother Xian's, and everyone will rush to read them, only to find them utterly worthless!

Once someone pointed it out, the late-night snack group understood and everyone said they wouldn't be fooled. However, passersby were easily misled, so for a time, many literati and scholars came out to show off their poetry, and some clever ones took the opportunity to sell tea and calligraphy.

One act ends and another begins, creating a lively and bustling atmosphere.
