I was knocked unconscious during the college entrance exam, but when I woke up, I was a literary lea

Zhao Guanglai's words were not an exaggeration.

Many famous works have been passed down through the ages based on just one sentence.

For example, "The storm is brewing, and the wind fills the tower."

"The whole city is covered in golden armor"

"If Heaven had feelings, Heaven too would grow old," and so on.

Very few people may know the full text of these poems.

However, these few sentences are known to everyone in Daxia, from 60-year-old seniors to 10-year-old children.

and so.

Based solely on this first sentence.

This poem, "Yellow Crane Tower," is already a timeless masterpiece.

in case……

The subsequent poems and lyrics are able to be as brilliant as the first line.

Then this poem can truly surpass the poems left by Li Bai.

Thinking of this, Zhao Guanglai couldn't help but swallow.

Surpassing Li Bai...

This is the wish of all poets in the Great Xia Dynasty since ancient times.

However, from ancient times to the present, no one has been able to do it.

Jiang Ye...

Will I be the first?

……

Let's talk about Jiang Tianhua.

Jiang Tianhua was a university professor, and after seeing the first line of the poem, he probably already knew what it was about.

This poem will surely bring honor to Jiang Ye and the Jiang family!

Thinking about it, Jiang Tianhua's eyes lit up with excitement!

I really have a good son!

Although Li Yan could appreciate it, her mind was no longer on the poetry.

……

And the viewers in the live stream saw the first line of "Yellow Crane Tower".

Nearly three million people were watching the live stream, and they all sent comments almost simultaneously!

[Holy crap?! Holy crap?!]

The ancients have long since flown away on yellow cranes, leaving only the Yellow Crane Tower behind... My goodness! These are all very simple words, but how can they be so beautiful when put together?

Although I only have a bachelor's degree, I truly appreciate this poem! The very first line is so beautiful! The elegance is simply exquisite!!

Yes, I thought "Viewing the Waterfall at Mount Lu" was Jiang Ye's masterpiece, but I didn't expect this poem to be so outstanding.

Thankfully, the original manuscript was found; otherwise, wouldn't the literary world of Great Xia have lost another gem?

[No... I'm just curious, how does Jiang Ye's brain work?! He's only eighteen, how can he write such beautiful, exquisite sentences?]

[Yes, for a while I was really interested in writing poetry. I loved scribbling whatever came to mind. Later, I even went online to find tutorials to learn rhyming and tonal patterns. But it was so difficult!! Every single word had to rhyme. I studied for a week and almost exploded. I just gave up! So I'm curious, how come Jiang Ye is so amazing?! Not only is his writing of tonal patterns, rhyming, and parallelism so outstanding, but his imagery is also so wonderful?!]

[It just goes to show how different people are. Before meeting Jiang Ye, I never imagined that a teenager could be more talented in writing than me! On a side note, I'm a professor in the Literature Department at Tsinghua or Peking University. After seeing Jiang Ye, I realized what a genius truly is! And that there are always people more talented than you!]

[A professor in the literature department of Tsinghua or Peking University? Let me tell you, no matter how impressive your academic background or social standing is, it's useless! Literature is about inspiration and talent. You can't envy that.]

……

Netizens are discussing it extensively.

Some were amazed, some were envious, and some even admitted they couldn't compare.

Let alone professors from Tsinghua and Peking Universities.

Even Lu Zhenbang, a literary giant, was completely convinced of Jiang Ye's talent.

……

Now let's talk about the other side.

Yellow Crane Tower Scenic Area.

After reading the first sentence, Director Wang couldn't stop nodding.

The surrounding staff members also admired the scene while clicking their tongues in amazement.

Although none of them are cultural workers.

but!

They do have basic literary skills.

They cannot judge whether a poem is trash or not.

However, they will surely know that this is a quatrain! A timeless masterpiece!!

……

Director Wang looked at the poem "Yellow Crane Tower" and became more and more satisfied.

Judging from the first line alone, the quality of this poem "Yellow Crane Tower" is comparable to, or even surpasses, Jiang Ye's "Looking at the Waterfall at Mount Lu".

That's how it is.

Will the Yellow Crane Tower scenic area be able to benefit from this massive influx of visitors, just like Mount Lu?

Thinking of this, Director Wang could no longer suppress the smile on his face.

He glanced at the wall of the Yellow Crane Tower and then looked at the original manuscript of the poem "Yellow Crane Tower".

Director Wang had an idea.

……

Let's get back to the scene.

The group continued reading the second couplet.

At this moment, everyone's appetite had been whetted by the first sentence.

They were so eager to see the poem in its complete form.

Soon, the second sentence appeared before everyone's eyes.

"The Yellow Crane has flown away, never to return; the white clouds drift aimlessly for a thousand years."

……

Upon seeing this sentence, the crowd at the scene let out another "hiss".

it is good!

It's still good!

The second line continues the charm and artistic conception of the first line.

It even carried a sense of lamenting the fleeting nature of time.

Zhao Guanglai touched his chin, his eyes filled with amazement.

The second sentence is also perfect, continuing the style of the first sentence.

Based on just these two sentences.

This poem, "Yellow Crane Tower," has already been ranked among the top classical poems.

That's so well written.

……

Everyone eagerly read the next two sentences.

"The trees of Hanyang stand clearly in the clear sky, and the fragrant grasses grow lush on Parrot Island."

"Where is my hometown as the sun sets? The misty waves on the river fill me with sorrow."

These are the last two couplets.

Upon seeing this, Zhao Guanglai couldn't help but shout "Bravo!"

The first two couplets of this poem about Yellow Crane Tower.

What he wrote was mostly "illusory".

Remembering our ancestors.

The next two couplets describe "reality"!

The trees of Hanyang stand clearly in the clear sky, and the fragrant grasses grow lush on Parrot Island.

These are all real sights in Seoul.

The final couplet, ending with a theme of homesickness, resonates even more deeply with the viewer.

……

According to Zhao Guanglai.

Although the poem's meter is somewhat imperfect.

For example, the first two couplets used the three characters "Yellow Crane Tower" too many times.

but.

The flaws are not concealed.

This poem remains a masterpiece!

The creation of classical Chinese poetry, including its rules of meter, parallelism, and so on.

It is indeed important.

However, if you encounter a good sentence, you can make some concessions regarding the rules of meter and tone.

This rendition of "Yellow Crane Tower" is so skillful it's astonishing!

……

Let's talk about the live stream room.

After watching this rendition of "Yellow Crane Tower," netizens were all amazed.

[My god... this is incredible! How can someone be this amazing?!]

Yes, this poem "Yellow Crane Tower" is absolutely amazing! If it had been written in ancient times, it would probably have been considered a masterpiece long ago.

I don't know much about classical Chinese poetry, but I can understand it; this poem is very well written! At least it's easy for me to read aloud and has a wonderful rhythm!

[I just read it again, and this poem is truly amazing! Jiang Ye is really only 18 years old?? At such a young age, to be able to write such poetry?! Incredible!]

Look at how someone else turned 18—writing poetry and becoming a top scorer in the college entrance exam. My 18—playing video games and watching short dramas every day… haha.

Jiang Ye is so accomplished in literature, yet she was tragically involved in a car accident. I truly hope she wakes up soon.

Yes, if Jiang Ye really passes away like this, it will be a huge loss for our Great Xia.

Jiang Ye is only eighteen years old; he has plenty of time and energy! If Jiang Ye hadn't been in the car accident, I estimate that Great Xia… no, the entire world, would have gained another brilliant literary superstar.

Unfortunately, it's unknown when Jiang Ye will wake up.

……

the other side.

Yellow Crane Tower Scenic Area.

After reading the poem, Director Wang was so excited that he was trembling!

In terms of its visual appeal, this poem is no less impressive than "Viewing the Waterfall at Mount Lu," and may even be superior.

To put it bluntly...

In terms of aesthetics, this poem "Yellow Crane Tower" is even better than Li Bai's "Farewell to Meng Haoran at Guangling".

Of course, Director Wang also knew that this was just his personal opinion.

……

Let's talk about Xu Min next.

She looked at the astonished expressions of the crowd.

She glanced at the comments from the millions of viewers in the live stream.

For a moment, Xu Min was somewhat dazed.

Jiang Ye's poems are really famous...

……

Now let's talk about the scene.

After reading the poem, Bai Xiaohe couldn't help but turn her gaze to Zhao Guanglai.

Bai Xiaohe spoke.

"Mr. Zhao."

From your professional perspective, how would you rate the quality of this poem, "Yellow Crane Tower"?

"Has it reached the level of 'Viewing the Waterfall at Mount Lu'?"

"You know, you just said that if this poem, 'Yellow Crane Tower,' were to reach the same level as 'Viewing the Waterfall at Mount Lu,' it would be considered a success."

"So, do you think this poem, 'Yellow Crane Tower,' is a success?"

……

Bai Xiaohe, true to her professionalism, asked a series of crucial questions in one go.

After Bai Xiaohe finished asking her question, Jiang Tianhua and his wife looked at Zhao Guanglai again.

Jiang Tianhua, in particular, looked on with immense anticipation.

If this poem could gain Zhao Guanglai's approval.

That means that this poem, "Yellow Crane Tower," is truly a top-notch classical Chinese poem.

Jiang Ye's status as a "literary giant" will be even more secure.

It is even more likely that the Jiang family will bring glory to their family.

So, how could Jiang Tianhua not have expectations?

……

Zhao Guanglai also noticed the gazes of everyone present.

Then, he cleared his throat and began to speak.

"I would like to retract what I just said."

When Zhao Guanglai said this, everyone present was stunned.

Before anyone could think further, Zhao Guanglai's excited voice rang out again!

"I take back what I said before, that this poem 'Yellow Crane Tower' is half the level of 'Looking at the Waterfall at Mount Lu'."

"Judging from the overall structure of this poem, 'Yellow Crane Tower,' it is of extremely high quality!"

"It's on par with 'Viewing the Waterfall at Mount Lu,' and even slightly surpasses it!!"

……

Hear this.

The people at the scene and the viewers in the live broadcast room couldn't help but gasp!

Such a high rating?

It should be noted that Lu Zhenbang, a literary giant of the Great Xia Dynasty, had his Dao heart shattered after reading the poem "Looking at the Waterfall at Mount Lu".

And this poem, "Yellow Crane Tower," is actually slightly better than "Looking at the Waterfall at Mount Lu."

real or fake?

Is it really that exaggerated?!

……

Before netizens could react...

Zhao Guanglai spoke again.

"Here, I'll say something that might offend some people."

"I know I might be criticized for what I'm about to say, but I'll say it anyway!"

"Although my poetry writing skills are not very high, my ability to appreciate art is among the top three in the entire Great Xia Dynasty, if not the best."

……

Upon hearing this, no one objected.

After all, Zhao Guanglai was the head of the Daxia Primary School textbook editing team.

Can someone be a team leader without some tasting ability?

This is a big shot handpicked by the state.

Zhao Guanglai continued.

"I have read at least 300,000, if not 500,000, Tang poems and Song lyrics."

"Among the many poems I've read, 'Yellow Crane Tower' is one of the best!"

"In my limited understanding, this poem, 'Yellow Crane Tower,' is even superior to Li Bai's 'Farewell to Meng Haoran at Yellow Crane Tower.'"

"Moreover, I believe that this poem, 'Yellow Crane Tower,' is the best among all the seven-character quatrains I have ever appreciated!"

"Personally, I even believe that this poem, 'Yellow Crane Tower,' is the finest heptasyllabic quatrain of all time!!"

……

As soon as Zhao Guanglai said this.

The scene was completely silent.

The more than three million viewers in the live stream were also stunned?

What?

What did Zhao Guanglai just say?

This poem, "Yellow Crane Tower," is actually superior to Li Bai's "Farewell to Meng Haoran at Guangling"?

This poem is even hailed as the best seven-character regulated verse of all time?

Oh my god.

No wonder Zhao Guanglai gave us a heads-up beforehand, saying that his remarks were likely to be criticized.

That's an exaggeration. Jiang Ye is only eighteen years old.

Can he surpass Li Bai?

Write the greatest seven-character regulated verse of all time?

……

Everyone was incredibly amazed.

Li Bai's poem is considered a famous line throughout the ages.

Zhao Guanglai said that Jiang Ye's poem "Yellow Crane Tower" is even better than Li Bai's.

? ?

Are you kidding me?

If this is true, what does it mean?

this means.

In a "poetry contest with a given theme," Li Bai... lost to Jiang Ye, who lived a thousand years later?!

Both poems are about the Yellow Crane Tower, so how can they not be considered "assigned poems"?

……

Zhao Guanglai paid no attention to the shock of the people present.

He said to Jiang Tianhua.

"Mr. Jiang, I have another request."

"Can I... include the poem 'Yellow Crane Tower' in the elementary school textbook?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Tianhua's eyes widened again.

Still accepting?

A primary school textbook, containing two ancient poems by Jiang Ye?

To know.

There are only eighteen classical poems in the third-grade textbook.

Jiang Ye alone has two poems?

This makes him the third person, after Li Bai and Du Fu, to receive this honor.

The problem is that Li Bai and Du Fu are top poets who have been famous for thousands of years.

Who is Jiang Ye?

Jiang Ye is just an eighteen-year-old student!

……

After the initial shock.

Jiang Tianhua immediately agreed.

"Great, great! That's an honor!"

How could Jiang Tianhua disagree?

After receiving the two poems, Zhao Guanglai was very satisfied.

At this time, Director Wang of the Yellow Crane Tower scenic area also began to express his opinion.

……

Director Wang spoke into the camera.

"Everyone! It is a great honor for Jiang Ye to compose a poem for the Yellow Crane Tower!"

"We also really like this song, 'Yellow Crane Tower'."

"This poem, 'Yellow Crane Tower,' captures the essence of Chinese culture! It allows the beauty of the Yellow Crane Tower to be spread throughout the country once again."

"Therefore, I will have Jiang Ye's original manuscript of 'Yellow Crane Tower' made into a rubbing and engraving on the wall of the top floor of the Yellow Crane Tower. Our engraver will completely replicate Jiang Ye's notes!"

"At the same time, our Yellow Crane Tower scenic area will erect a two-meter-tall bronze statue of Jiang Ye on the top floor of the Yellow Crane Tower, below the rubbing of this poem 'Yellow Crane Tower'!!"

"Welcome, everyone, to check in at the Yellow Crane Tower."

……

Director Wang said this.

The live stream chat exploded!!

Holy crap?! Is Yellow Crane Tower going all out?!

[Is this for real? Not only are they making rubbings of Jiang Ye's original manuscript, but they're also erecting a statue of Jiang Ye?]

My goodness, even Li Bai didn't get this kind of treatment.

[Just kidding! Team leader Zhao Guanglai said that Jiang Ye's version of "Yellow Crane Tower" is better than the other one!!]

[My god, this is amazing! Does this mean I've witnessed the rise of a literary giant?]

Jiang Ye, please wake up!!

……

the other side.

Director Wang answered the phone, and then his face became excited.

He came in front of the camera again and addressed the crowd.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Mayor Tao Xing of Seoul has heard about Jiang Ye's deeds."

"Therefore, Mayor Tao specifically instructed that Jiang Ye be sent to the best hospital in Seoul for treatment!"

"The Seoul government will cover all treatment costs!!"
