On the occasion of the New Year, Qu Jinxing, the chief planner, general director, Beijing poet and lyricist Qu Jinxing, who is preparing for the 8th Chinese Poetry Spring Festival Gala in 2022, is being intensively prepared for an exclusive interview. On behalf of the organizing committee, he first bid farewell to the poets around the world, wishing the poets of the world, good pens, and then writing Huazhang.
He said that the ancestor of Chinese poetry, the ancestor of the word endowment Qu originally belonged to the tiger, and the 2022 lunar calendar Year of the Tiger can be called the Year of the Poet.

Talking about Qu Yuan, he talked about it.
Qu Yuan's "Departure from sorrow": "Regent Zhen is in Meng Qixi, but Gengyin Wu surrenders." According to Guo Moruo's research, Regency is yin nian, Meng Qi is yin yue, Geng yin is yin day, and "zhen" and "zheng" are communicated, indicating that Qu was born in yin year yin yue yin day. Therefore, Qu Yuan must belong to the tiger. Wu Guangping, executive director and deputy secretary-general of the China Quyuan Society, scholars, and lacquer carving Shicai also held this view.
Qu Yuan was a native of the State of Chu during the Warring States period, with the surname Of Qi, qu shi, the name Ping, and the character Yuan; and in the "Departure from the Troubles", He ziyun: "The name Yu Yue Zheng Ze Xi, the word Yu Yue Lingjun". Qu Yuan was born in the aristocracy of the Chu state during the Warring States period, and served as a doctor of the Three Lu Dynasties, a leftist and in charge of domestic and foreign affairs, and was a "reformer" among politicians. He advocated raising up the ability of the internal elite, cultivating the Fa, and strengthening the external forces to resist the Qin.
Qu Yuan did not, and his disciples Song Yu, Jing Cha, Tang Le, Jia Yi, Sima Qian, and Liu Xiang of the Han Dynasty began to study Qu Yuan and Chu Ci. For more than two thousand years, the research of Qu Yuan and Chu Ci has been successive, and there has been no shortage of people, sweat and cattle, fruitful, and has become a major spectacle of Chinese literature.
Qu Yuan was the earliest Romantic poet in China and the first great patriotic poet in the history of Chinese literature to leave a name. His appearance marked the beginning of a new era of Chinese poetry from collective singing to individual solo singing. The Chu Ci he created is a great work that is at the same source of Chinese literature as the Book of Poetry. He is revered as the ancestor of Chinese poetry, the ancestor of rhetoric, and is also listed as one of the world's four major cultural celebrities. Liang Qichao believes that Qu Yuan is the ancestor of Chinese writers. This is a public theory in the history of Chinese literature.

Qu Jinxing said, however, that qu yuan and Chu Ci's research and dissemination were mostly limited to China or East Asian cultural circles. I see a lot of Qu Yuan cultural heritage in Japan and Korea. However, in Europe and the United States, the research and dissemination of Qu Yuan and Chu Ci was insufficient. Few scholars have studied Qu Yuan from a global perspective under the magnificent coordinate system of human poetics and literature, giving Qu Yuan his proper positioning. This is seriously incompatible with Qu Yuan's actual poetic literary achievements, or Qu Yuan's status in human poetics and literature is seriously underestimated and weakened.
Qu Jinxing said: I personally believe that compared with Homer, the ancestor of Western poetics and literature, Qu Yuan's achievements in poetics and literature are not inferior or even surpass them in some aspects. If Homer is the ancestor of human narrative poetry, Qu Principle is the ancestor of human lyric poetry. Homer's Epic is longer than narrative; Qu Yuanchuci is longer than lyrical. There is no doubt that Qu Yuan's Chu Ci is closer to the essence of poetry.
Qu Jinxing believes that Qu Yuan's works generally revolve around three centers: the people as the center, the motherland as the center, and the universe as the center. The vast cosmic consciousness, mysterious life experience, profound philosophical thought, loyal patriotic feelings, people-oriented thoughts, and super spiritual self-confidence embodied in Qu Yuan's poems are rare in human poets and writers, and are undoubtedly first-class. Li Bai once praised: "Qu Ping's resignation is endowed with the sun and the moon, and the Chu king Tai Xie empty hills." Su Dongpo said: "What I have learned in my life, I can't do it in case, Qu Ping is just one person." Liang Qichao said that all those who are Chinese must have the ability to appreciate Chu Ci, in order not to be worthy of this country. Sumanshu said that a person who does not read "Leaving sorrow" before the age of thirty should die, and he is not alive. Qu Yuan is no less than any poet in human history, but above or above it. Qu Yuan belongs to all mankind and is worth learning from poets around the world.

Qu Jinxing said that today, both Chinese and Western poets do not learn enough from Qu Yuan's works. Because of its age, the profoundness of the text, and other reasons, modern Chinese poets have studied Qu Yuan's works intensively, and not many people are familiar with them. There seems to be a huge gap between classical Chinese poetics and modern poetics that needs to be filled. In contrast, modern Chinese poetics and Western poetics seem to be more intimately related. In China, the research and creation of classical poetics, modern poetics, European and American poetics are usually separated, and it is rare to integrate ancient and modern Chinese and foreign poetics into one furnace. The same is true of the West. Perhaps, only by integrating ancient and modern China and foreign countries, innovation and transcendence, can we give birth to the first-class great poets of mankind. In foreign countries, especially in Europe and the United States, Qu Yuan's works have not been disseminated enough, and they are not well known by foreign poets, including cultural background, translation and other reasons. However, we believe that with the enhancement of the country's comprehensive strength, Chinese culture, including Qu Yuan, will be exported more widely to the world.
Qu Jinxing said: It is understood that in addition to Qu Yuan, in history, famous poets, poets, and writers such as Zhang Heng, Ruan Yuan, and Tang Bohu also belonged to the tiger.
The 17th-century German philosopher Hegel said that a nation has a group of people who look up at the stars, and they have hope. Nearly two thousand years ago, Qu Yuan and Zhang Heng had already stepped on the earth and looked up at the starry sky. Qu Yuan wrote down the vast "Heavenly Question" with a stroke of his pen. The poet and lexicographer Zhang Heng wrote "Erjing Fu" with a stroke of his pen, and he inherited Qu Yuan's tradition of asking the heavens, accidentally invented the ground motion instrument, and became a seismologist and astronomer.
Ruan Zhize, Ji Kang, Liu Ling and other seven sages of the bamboo forest lived in seclusion in the mountains (now Taihang Yuntai Mountain has its old traces), taking heaven and earth as a quilt, using the earth as a bed, poetry and wine art, and brilliant Taihang. Its literary and artistic concept of freedom and sexuality predates even a thousand years before the European Renaissance. This may be the Chinese poet's mind and temperament to swallow the universe! This may be the self-confidence and self-confidence of Chinese poets to re-lead the future of human poetry!
Qu Jinxing planned the Chinese Poetry Spring Festival Gala Wind Collection Group to take a group photo with the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest at Yuntai Mountain.
There are not many outstanding new poets of the Chinese tiger – perhaps not enough to learn from Qu Yuan and his traditions. However, the novels of the Tiger Xiangxi novelist Shen Congwen are particularly poetic - Shen Congwen has lived in Fenghuang, Yuanling and other places in the "Quyuan Chuci Cultural Zone" since childhood, and is naturally influenced by it. The last collection of poems by Xu Zhimo, the representative of the Crescent Moon Sect, was named "The Collection of Fierce Tigers", or did he want to borrow the majesty of the tiger?
Qu Jinxing's words turned sharply, however, interestingly, according to the Chinese genus, there are not many famous foreign poets who belong to the tiger and many to the rat. Shakespeare in England is a rat, and Du Fu in China is also a rat. In addition, Qin Shi Huang and Sun Yat-sen were both tigers. According to the statistics of good deeds, among the ancient emperors, the proportion of tigers was very large. What's even more interesting is that Marx was also a tiger. Marx was born on May 5, 1818, in the solar calendar, of course. Can we jokingly call it the German Solar Boat Festival? Christmas and Thanksgiving can be "exported" to China, and the Dragon Boat Festival and Spring Festival can of course be "exported" abroad. Only the great collision and exchange of cultures can blend into a brilliant poetic light.
He wished all the poets in the world, whether they were descendants of Qu Yuan on the banks of Yunmengze, descendants of Homer on the banks of the Aegean Sea, descendants of Whitman on the banks of the Bissisibe River, or descendants of Pushkin on the Neva River, the Year of the Tiger was auspicious, the poet Nian Jian pen was in the clouds, and the year of the king was the world of poetry!
He poetically imagined that today the poets stood on the wheel of restoration, under the cham heavens, with the poetry of Qu Yuan and Homer, writing star-like poems on the vast earth and the vast sky.
According to the Chinese lunar calendar, 2022 is the Year of the Tiger. The babies born this year are all tigers – of course, the year of the tiger in the lunar calendar and 2022 in the solar calendar are roughly the same, and do not completely coincide. The true Year of the Tiger in the lunar calendar begins on February 1, 2022.
Qu Jinxing said that it is said that the ancients saw the tiger mighty and majestic, and was the king of the hundred beasts, and it was based on the pattern of the tiger's head that the word "king" was created. In this way, those who belong to the tiger are kings, and the year of the tiger is still the "year of the king" - think of the ancient Chinese, touch the tiger's forehead, and create a "king" character, how romantic and magical! Today, in the vast sea of Words composed of endless hieroglyphs in China, it is "nuclear fusion" to produce brilliant new poetry.
He laughed that the tiger was an auspicious symbol. According to traditional Chinese culture, those who belong to the tiger are ambitious and ambitious, bold and strong, and can achieve great things. He who belongs to the tiger has power in his hands, money in his pocket, and love in his heart. Whoever sees and forwards this article, everything goes well, and the year of the tiger is great.
Finally, he invited everyone to pay attention to and forward the 2022 8th Chinese Poetry Spring Festival Gala "Cloud" live broadcast on the eve of the Spring Festival of the Year of the Tiger and other websites, and casually chanted a few ancient words to conclude:
The tiger is a beast, and the encounter is auspicious.
Tiger Ben, Xiongzhen Eight Wilds.
The plague demon is enchanted, and the night is trembling.
Tiger roaring dragon groan, Qiankun with the light!
(Wang Changzheng, Yu Xiaofang, Wang Yongming, Yu Shihui)
