Zhang Zheng continued: "Actually, although Suzhou is only a part of the south of the Yangtze River, since ancient times, Gusu has been used to indicate that there are many people in the south ......of the Yangtze River."

"Oh, I'm a bit of a loner, could you please give me an example?" The middle-aged man said.

"Everyone should know that there is a folk song called "Gusu Scenery" that is sung like this: there is heaven in the upper area, there is Suzhou and Hangzhou in the lower place, Hangzhou has the West Lake, Suzhou has the mountain pond, oops, two good places, oops, hey, hey, two good scenery...... Zhang Zheng introduced.

"This is a folk song with a relatively old history, and it is very popular in our Jiangnan area." The old man said.

"Did you see that? The scenery of Gusu here does not specifically refer to the scenery of Suzhou, but to the scenery of Suzhou and Hangzhou, that is to say, the word 'Gusu' can be used to refer to other places in the south of the Yangtze River other than Suzhou. Zhang Zheng said.

"This young man is right, since Gusu can represent Suzhou and Hangzhou, of course, it can also represent Jiangnan." The old man continued.

"Wait, this young man, although what you said has some truth, but it is still a bit far-fetched to conclude that Gusu can replace Jiangnan based on just one folk song, not to mention, the lyrics of many folk songs are often not very rigorous." The middle-aged man said.

"In that case, let's take a look at Bai Juyi's "Remembering Jiangnan". Although he is talking about remembering Jiangnan in the poem, where does he remember it? His two ancient poems "Remembering Jiangnan" give the answer at the beginning: the most memorable is Hangzhou ......, and the second is Wu Palace, which is Suzhou. It can be seen that in his mind, his 'Jiangnan' is Suzhou and Hangzhou, in other words, Suzhou and Hangzhou are his Jiangnan. Therefore, there is still evidence to use Gusu to represent Suzhou and Hangzhou, or to represent Jiangnan. Zhang Zheng said.

"I agree with this young man, although Gusu is another name for Suzhou, it is often used by some literati and artists to refer to Jiangnan." Said the middle-aged woman.

"Actually, even if Gusu can't represent Jiangnan, it doesn't matter, this poem starts with Jiangnan and ends with Gusu, which will not affect the artistic conception of the whole poem in the slightest." Zhang Zheng said.

I don't agree with this view, although there is a repetition in the whole poem, but the consistency of the expression makes the whole poem better. If you replace the big 'Jiangnan' with a small 'Gusu', there will be a top-heavy effect, so I think it's better to keep 'Jiangnan'. A young girl had a different opinion.

"Xiaoni, don't you know that repetition is a taboo in writing poetry?" Middle-aged woman said.

"Auntie, of course I know, but the necessary repetition is still needed, such as Meng Haoran's "Farewell to Wang Wei", the whole poem is repeated in many places, and it has become a famous Tang poem, the key is not repetition, but whether this repetition adds value to the poem." Wang Xiaoni said.

Xiao Ni said is reasonable, in fact, in many famous ancient poems, the phenomenon of repetition is a lot, just now the young man has listed some, such as one year old and one withered glory, one inch of lovesickness and one inch of gray, etc., such repetition, not only does not affect the rhythm requirements and artistic conception of the whole poem, but makes the artistic conception of these poems deeper, more beautiful, and more infectious. As the saying goes, the back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, and there are capable people in the country, I said Mary, the emergence of these young poets, but our poetry is worth celebrating? The old man sighed.

"Old Zheng, you're right, most of the young people nowadays go to chase stars, there are very few young people like this little brother and Xiao Ni who like and pay attention to poetry, I don't know what this little brother is called?" Marie, a middle-aged woman, asked.

"Under the surname Zhang Mingzheng, a person from Jibei, it is a great honor to meet you, and welcome everyone to my hometown of Jibei City." Zhang Zheng introduced himself humbly.

"Mr. Zhang, based on the conversation just now, I feel that your views on poetry are very unique, may I ask you graduated from the Chinese Department of that university?" Wang Xiaoni asked.

"Don't hide it from Sister Xiaoni, not only did I not go to any Chinese department, nor did I go to university in China, if I still have a little achievement in poetry and song, it depends on the result of reading a lot of ancient books and ancient poems by my grandfather when I was a child." Zhang Zheng said.

"Oh, your situation should belong to home schooling, and it can also be understood as self-taught. You are young, and you have this kind of good insight into Chinese poetry and songs, so that Xiaomei, a stupid girl in liberal arts, has to admire. Wang Xiaoni said.

"I am familiar with 300 Tang poems, and I can't make poems and can make them, I belong to the kind of people who make up blindly, so Sister Xiaoni, don't be superstitious, brother is just a legend." Zhang Zheng said to Wang Xiaoni.

"Haha! I said Brother Zhang, you are really funny, can you make up poems? It's a limerick poem, and it's smooth. However, although your poetic insights are good, they are definitely not as good as your eye for appreciating beautiful women. Wang Xiaoni said with a smile.

"Oh, my brother has such a little advantage, and you can see it, Sister Xiaoni is really a god! May I ask Sister Xiaoni, how do you see it? Zhang Zheng asked.
