Jincheng.

At around seven o'clock in the evening, Liang Wen returned home dragging his exhausted body.

He is 35 years old and is an editor at a publishing house. Today he proofreads a published article with a well-known author and worked overtime again.

In the eyes of others, Liang Wen's job of sitting in an office all day long with the air conditioner blowing on is not considered hard work, but only he knows that what is really tiring about this job is the psychological level.

It’s so tiring!

Eat, help my second grade daughter with her homework, wash up...

Today is not the day to pay the public rations. Liang Wen is sitting in the study, having rare time to himself.

When I turned on my computer, a pop-up window with a certain news popped up.

The title is "Whose cake did Ye Zhiqiu touch? Several well-known literary writers jointly issued a statement calling for a boycott of online literature headed by Ye Zhiqiu."

Seeing this title, Liang Wen couldn't help but sneer.

This controversy has been raging in the literary world for nearly a week.

Liang Wen, who graduated from the Chinese Department with a master's degree, already possesses considerable literary literacy. In his twenties, he was quite a literary figure.

Ye Zhiqiu knew that he had also heard of the two famous novels "Zhu Xian" and "Immortal Sword", but he was used to reading traditional literature on weekdays, and the section he was responsible for as the editor of the publishing house was also in this area, so he had never read these two novels.

This novel.

Liang Wen himself is in this field, so he can naturally look at this issue more rationally.

In fact, anyone with the ability to think independently can see that this dispute between "traditional literature" and "online literature" is a farce of "stealing concepts".

A group of people who call themselves traditional literature writers blame online literature for the lack of appreciation of their works, accusing online literature of affecting the appreciation level of young people in this era.

In Liang Wen's view, as the literary master Qin Dewen and Qin Lao said, dividing literature into "tradition" and "network" is strictly speaking a paradox.

In different eras, works have entered the public eye in different ways. Newspapers, literary magazines, and publishing houses are the "traditional" ways. The "network" is just a more convenient and emerging way in the digital age.

Different channels naturally lead to great changes in the style of works.

In the past, novels serialized in newspapers and magazines had high requirements on the author's ability to tell stories in concise language due to limited space.

Nowadays, with online publishing, there is no limit on length, but more emphasis is placed on the author's ability to tell a story well.

Both methods have their own characteristics. It is impossible to say which one is better. I can only say that the Internet has greatly lowered the threshold for writing, allowing more people to participate in it and express their own ideas. The same is true for readers, and this

The "short, flat and fast" method is obviously more adaptable to the trend of commercialization than the traditional method.

As for the quality of the work, it all depends on the person who wrote it. There is no such thing as "tradition" and "network" is meaningless.

However, Liang Wen belongs to the silent majority on this issue.

Even though he had his own judgment in his heart, he chose to remain silent in the noisy discourse circle.

If I were the "literary young" me in the past, I would have fought with others online for three days and three nights, expressing my own opinions.

But now that I have entered middle age, I have understood that you can never wake up someone who is pretending to be asleep, and I have gradually lost the urge to speak out on arguments that are not related to my own interests.

Life is already so tiring, why waste your time by being bullied?

Liang Wen retracted his thoughts, turned off the news push, and opened the web page.

On the home page of the navigation website, there is a simple Weibo hot search list, and the bold red font at the top of the list is particularly conspicuous.

Liang Wen glanced over at random, and the title was "Autumn Modern Poetry Essay Competition, Five Poems to Enshrine the Gods".

Liang Wen sighed deeply again. He felt that the atmosphere on the Internet was becoming more and more impetuous. He often used exaggerated words such as "magic work". Now it has penetrated into activities such as the "Autumn Modern Poetry Essay Contest"

superior.

Ignoring these topics, Liang Wen logged into the literary forum he often visited.

Then, Liang Wen stared blankly and was shocked to find that most of the posts on the forum were actually discussing issues such as "Autumn Essay Contest" and "Masterpiece".

This forum called "Green Pines and Green Cypresses" is a gathering place for literature lovers, including well-known authors. Although there are not many users, they all have certain literary appreciation abilities.

Even the posts on this forum were like this. Liang Wen suddenly became interested and directly opened the official website of the "Autumn Modern Poetry Essay Contest".

There is a public column for submitted works on the homepage of the website. Liang Wen immediately noticed the top five works, and the number of comments was obviously higher than the other works.

Ranked sixth is "White Cloud" by modern poet Guan Yi.

It should be these five songs. Liang Wen looked at the first one.

Haizi: "Facing the sea, spring flowers are blooming".

Seeing this title, Liang Wen's heart moved slightly.

——Very warm words.

Immediately afterwards, Liang Wen fell into doubt.

Haizi? Who is this? He has never heard of this person in the literary world in his memory.

With doubts, Liang Wen clicked into the poem details interface and looked at the specific content.

【Be a happy man from tomorrow on

Feed the horses, chop wood, travel around the world

From tomorrow on, care about food and vegetables

I have a house facing the sea and the flowers are blooming in spring

From tomorrow on, communicate with every relative

tell them my happiness

That happy lightning told me

i will tell everyone

Give every river and every mountain a warm name

Stranger, I also bless you

I wish you a bright future

May your lover eventually get married

May you find happiness in this world

I just want to face the sea and see the flowers blooming in spring]

This poem was not long, and I could read it in just a few minutes. However, Liang Wen read it back and forth several times.

The words in the poem are very simple, describing an extremely simple life and an extremely sincere wish.

In this busy and troubled day, after reading this poem, Liang Wen's somewhat impetuous heart gradually calmed down.

After a long time, Liang Wen took a deep breath and came back from the ideal life of "facing the sea, with spring flowers blooming", and his face was slightly excited.

The hot search is right! This modern poem can indeed be called a "masterpiece"!

Who is this "Haizi"? Liang Wen did a quick search, but was surprised to find that there was no information about this author on the Internet at all. Instead, there were many posts like himself asking who "Hai Zi" was.

After searching to no avail, Liang Wen suddenly remembered that there were four works that were also called "masterpieces" that he had not appreciated, so he quickly switched back.

The second song, Gu Cheng: "A Generation"

It was an unfamiliar name again. Liang Wen couldn't care less at this time and clicked on it.

This poem is much shorter, with only two lines.

【The night gave me black eyes
Chapter completed!
