Original title: Feel the poetic life of Ye Jiaying on the screen
Many people who love ancient poetry have heard the name of Ye Jiaying. This "daughter of poetry" had an indissoluble bond with poetry throughout her life. Recently, a literary documentary about Ye Jiaying was released. Through the light and shadow of the screen, we can feel her ups and downs but poetic life.
Ye Jiaying's poems are early in her mind, but her life is difficult. It is poetry like the brilliance of the sun and the moon, illuminating the gloomy moments in her life; and like a light boat, crossing her across the river of life. Those feelings integrated with life, those relying on poetry as the boat, saved her from being "grinded up in suffering", and also shaped her life's gentleness, calmness, and perseverance. So some people say: "She stands there, is the best commentary on classical poetry." Of course, for Ye Jiaying, poetry is not just a hobby and comfort, but also ideals and beliefs. Therefore, she spent her life studying classical poetry, and hoped that after she experienced the beautiful and noble world of classical poetry, she could open a door and "bring people who don't understand poetry into it." It is the "ferryman" who spared no effort to be a classical poetry, Ye Jiaying has become a signpost for countless people to the poetry country.
Why is it so important for more people to enter poetry? Because everyone needs a spiritual habitat, and poetry contains spiritual nutrients that comfort life. When you collide with the life and emotions of the author through poetry, the aesthetic interest contained in those classical poems, the endless spiritual power that is surging, and the poetic poetry that has traveled through thousands of years, can give us beauty and hope. It allows us to gain courage and strength when the storms of life strike.
Today we vigorously promote excellent traditional culture, precisely because the traditional culture represented by classical poems accumulates the wisdom, character, caring and cultivation of the Chinese people, and condenses the concept, interest, tolerance and charm of Chinese culture. Let more people absorb cultural nutrients, life wisdom, and beautiful characters from a poem, a verse, and an article. The excellent traditional Chinese culture will surely become a guiding light for more people’s lives, and nourish generations of Chinese people. soul.
