Starting from the quiet picture of "Yan Yan follows the waves for thousands of miles, where is the spring river without the moon" in "Spring River Flower Moon Night", he talked about "every person's life is a short process, and people and the world are related. "Etc. philosophy of life - opening a class on ancient poetry on the Internet platform, allowing Luo Yuming, a professor of the Chinese Department of Fudan University, to successfully "break the circle", and netizens even sighed: "I have misunderstood the language for many years, but the language is so attractive."

  For a period of time, many scholars have talked about ancient poetry on the Internet, and a large number of Gen Z fans have been circled.

Professor Luo Yuming's poetry class video on station B has received 500,000 hits since January this year. Professor Ye Jiaying of Nankai University's "The Beauty of Chinese Poetry" series of videos has more than 5,000 barrage comments; open Douyin, professor of Central China Normal University Dai Jianye's video about Li Bai has also received more than 1.83 million likes. Under the teaching video of Professor Kang Zhen of Beijing Normal University, there are more than 3,500 comments alone...

  Industry insiders believe that famous teachers choose to teach ancient poetry on online platforms, partly because the style of the online platform is quite consistent with the temperament of Generation Z, and the poetic mood that was originally difficult or even slightly distant can be conveyed to the audience through dynamic pictures; another On the one hand, teachers find a way to break the traditional teacher-student relationship outside the school's three-foot podium, and combine their own wisdom of life and understanding of poetry into one.

But at the same time, "Whether Generation Z relies too much on the Internet to absorb classical literature and traditional culture", "Can they absorb the essence from the vast ocean of fragmented information", "How to better spread traditional culture through short videos" Such topics are thought-provoking.

When Generation Z listens to ancient poetry explanations on online platforms, what are they listening to?

In addition to poetry, feelings and life philosophy can more resonate with netizens

  What is the difference between listening to ancient poetry explanations on the Internet and in class?

Poetry and painting come to the fore.

  With the melodious "Fishing Boat Sings Evening", the images in the classical poems are presented with the unfolding of landscape paintings.

This is the opening scene of Ye Jiaying's poetry lecture.

The natural advantages of video allow the charm of classical literature to be more intuitively displayed.

As for the content itself, Generation Z learns ancient poetry courses through online videos. What they want to hear is not only the interpretation of ancient poetry by famous artists, but also the in-depth analysis of feelings and philosophy of life, which can catch the audience at the first time.

  For example, "The tide of the Spring River is even with the sea level, and the bright moon on the sea is born with the tide" from the poem "Spring River Flowers and Moon Night" by Zhang Ruoxu, a poet in the Tang Dynasty.

In the cognition of many people, it outlines the poet's sighing sadness towards the moon in the sky; but in Luo Yuming's online course, it has risen to the feelings and life philosophy of "people have endless emotions in front of the great universe" .

It was found that compared with the simple popularization of classical literature knowledge, the insights of the lecturers based on decades of time can more resonate with the majority of netizens.

  Another example, "Jiangnan Meets Li Guinian" is the work of Du Fu, a great poet in the Tang Dynasty.

After the Anshi Rebellion, Du Fu drifted to Hunan and reunited with the exiled court singer Li Guinian. He recalled the frequent meeting and listening to songs in the mansion of King Qi and Cui Jiu, and he wrote this poem with emotion.

People often use it to describe the chaos of the world, the ups and downs of time, and the gathering and dispersing of human feelings, but the "literary genius" Gao Shengyuan gave a more unique understanding - Du Fu saw Li Guinian, and he also saw himself in his youth. .

This "reunion" is not only the reunion between Du Fu and Li Guinian, the reunion between Du Fu and the Tang Dynasty, but also the reunion between Du Fu and himself.

In Tang Dynasty poet Cui Hu's "Tiducheng Nanzhuang", "people's faces don't know where to go, peach blossoms still smile in the spring breeze", which is mostly used to describe the loss of beautiful things, but Goldman Sachs Yuan saw "the contingency of life" in it.

After listening to his elaboration, netizens shouted: "Poems give us the ability to express sadness, love and beauty."

Some people wander in the new world of knowledge, while others get lost in the illusion of learning

  With the popularity of the Internet, online learning has become a trend.

Taking station B as an example, in the past year, the scale of creators in the knowledge area has increased by 92%, and more than 183 million users have studied here; in station B PUGV (professional user creation video), the pan-knowledge content has reached 49%, and netizens have Affectionately known as "The University Without Walls".

The Douyin platform report released at the end of last year shows that pan-knowledge content has accounted for 20% of the platform's total broadcast volume, covering six categories: life skills, popular science, humanities and arts, education, sports, and the workplace.

In the second half of last year, Kuaishou also launched pan-knowledge-based live broadcasts such as "New Knowledge" and "Kuishou New Zhibo". The latter had more than 1,000 knowledge anchors participating, and the number of live broadcasts reached 10,000 in three months.

  Famous experts explain ancient poetry on video websites, which has aroused a large number of people, especially Gen Z, to be interested in classical literature.

Take the video website's interpretation of "Spring River, Flowers and Moon Night" as an example. This masterpiece, which was once called "a poem within a poem, a peak among the peaks" by Wen Yiduo, has been interpreted by famous artists. The far-off Spring River Moonlight Night Map also felt the parting emotions of a wandering child and a wife.

However, the ten-minute explanation could not include the structure of the poem and the classic sentences that are often used by later generations; there are only a few videos on Douyin explaining the "Yellow Crane Tower Sending Meng Haoran's Guangling" written by Li Bai. For a few minutes, I only stayed at the parting picture of the two romantic and unrestrained poets described in the poem, and did not involve a deeper level-the parting between Li Bai and Meng Haoran and a prosperous era, prosperous season, and prosperous area. Li Bai's aspirations and so on - if you don't read it repeatedly and study it in depth, then the interpretation of poetry will only be superficial.

  With the help of the Internet, some people wander in the new world of knowledge, and some people get lost in the illusion of learning.

Experts remind: If Generation Z relies too much on the Internet to absorb classical literature and traditional culture, it is easy to be deceived by fragmented information and neglect to absorb the essence.

The master leads the door, and the practice is personal—the teaching scene is constantly iterated, but the essence of teaching and learning has not changed.
