All-rounder Artist-Chapter 817 774 A Butterfly’s Love for a Flower

Su Dongpo's poetry is well-known for its bold and unconstrained style, but actually, he was also very skilled at composing the gentler and more delicate Refined Faction poems. For example, this famous "A Butterfly's Love for a Flower" has been evaluated as possessing a delicacy not inferior to that of Liu Yong, and this is the second appearance of Su Immortal's lyrics on Blue Star, the effect of which is still immediate and striking!

On the internet.

Netizens who saw this poem were boiling with excitement!

"Damn, what a poem!"

"Where the hell did this Yi An pop up from? His talent is just too incredible!"

"Where in the world can't you find fragrant grass? What a line, where in the world can't you find fragrant grass!"

"This line is just so fitting to console Jiang Yuyan. Didn't she walk the path of destruction just because she loved Qin Tiange too much? One should know that there are not many willow catkins blowing on the branches, and he isn't the only man in the world!"

"And there's also this line, the passionate often vexed by the heartless!"

"This line is simply the true portrayal of a fawning dog. After fawning over the goddess for three years, she only found me annoying. Passion met with heartlessness, and now I will never be a fawning dog again!"

"A stroke of genius!"

"They really should send this poem to Jiang Yuyan. If she could understand its essence, she wouldn't have ended up like that. No wonder the drama review's title is 'What Love Is In This World.' It seems Yi An is someone with a story!"

"Although 'The Legend of Wukong' is awesome, I previously only thought he was a fanfic author. Only now have I realized, this person is far more than just a fanfic writer. He can write lyrics and modern poetry, and write them so well!"

"..."

Netizens might not understand everything, but overall, most can get the gist, and with the tie-in to the TV drama, it's even simpler. Instantly, countless exclamations arise!

Inside the poetry society group where Wu Dun was a member.

Professional poets felt an even deeper impression of this "A Butterfly's Love for a Flower!"

This group is full of poetry experts!

"The use of words and phrases is very particular. This is the work of a master!"

"For example, the opening line describes the scene of late spring; the sentence means that in the late spring season, the almond blossoms wither, and only small, green almonds hang on the branches. The author's view starts with an almond tree: the flowers have withered, the remaining redness fading bit by bit, and small green almonds begin to form on the branches, outlining a vivid picture in just a few lines..."

"The crowning touch of the first stanza is this line: 'Where in the world can't you find fragrant grass!'"

"The text leading up to this line is a setup. When this line arrives, images burst forth, and the scope of the piece suddenly widens. It is no longer just a description of scenery but is elucidating the author's philosophy and breadth of mind. This line is definitely on the level of classic verses!"

"The second stanza's 'the passionate often vexed by the heartless' is even more divine!"

"This line perfectly captures the loneliness and frustration of countless unrequited loves in the world. Haven't we all experienced the moments of loving yet not being loved in return? Clearly, we pour out our hearts, but they find it only an annoyance."

"President Wu, whose masterpiece is this?"

..."

Curious, countless people tagged Wu Dun in the group!

"It's Yi An again."

Upon seeing the tags, Wu Dun looked deeply at "A Butterfly's Love for a Flower" and then straightforwardly provided an answer.

There was a buzz!

The group became even more lively!

"Another work by this Yi An?"

"Where the hell did this Yi An come from?"

"When did such an incredible figure emerge in the poetry scene of Blue Star?"

"His previous line, 'though the heart harbors a tiger, gently it sniffs the rose,' was already classic, but I didn't expect him to churn out a love poem with such rich flavor this time!"

"The former is modern poetry, the latter is a lyric poem, and he can write both so well. Truly impressive!"

"But the scale isn't as grand as 'though the heart harbors a tiger, gently it sniffs the rose,' because 'A Butterfly's Love for a Flower' is a lyric poem about love."

"Affairs of love, after all, lack a certain flavor."

"..."

Lacking a certain flavor?

Upon reading this, Wu Dun sighed softly and then sent a message in the group:

"Do you really think this is just a lyric poem about love and affection?"

Could it be otherwise?

The group members hesitated, then fell into thought, rereading the entire poem several times.

The first stanza of the poem.

The fading petals, the waning spring, a late spring scene...

In a trance.

Someone seemed contemplative, as if they had grasped something.

Wu Dun didn't keep them in suspense any longer and shared his own interpretation:

"The second stanza speaks of love because the poem's background relates to a TV drama, but the first stanza is not merely describing the scenery. I believe you have already noticed that it subtly expresses a lament for unrecognized talent. Thus, after finishing the depiction of late spring, he uses 'Where in the world can't you find fragrant grass' as a way to comfort himself. Unfortunately, I do not know the author's personal circumstances, otherwise, I could better understand the meaning of the first stanza..."

After pondering deeply, the group members started to respond one by one.

"It does seem to be the case."

"Yi An clearly possesses such great talent, yet remained obscure in the past. It's only natural that a person like him would feel the sorrow of unrecognized genius."

"How about we invite him to join the group?"

"This person is remarkable. He might become a major poet in the future!"

"I'm also puzzled; how is it that such a formidable individual was only discovered today."

"It seems I need to take a look at 'The Legend of Wukong.' I shouldn't have prejudices about fan works."

"Xian Yu, a songwriter, has such high poetic literacy. It seems understandable now that Yi An, a fanfic author, is proficient in poetry."

"..."

Wu Dun is indeed knowledgeable, managing to discern the desolation of unrecognized talent in the poem, although there is a misunderstanding.

At the time Su Shi wrote this poem, he indeed harbored feelings of unrecognized talent, but Yi An did not.

However, that someone could taste this nuance was not to let this masterpiece go unnoticed.

Before long.

"A Butterfly's Love for a Flower" was widely reposted, with countless netizens sharing it with others excitedly!

Not long after.

Just like 'though the heart harbors a tiger, gently it sniffs the rose,' this poem caught fire, and Yi An's fan base also began to grow once more!

Lin Yuan noticed this development and couldn't help but laugh.

Blue Star's netizens indeed have a high level of artistic appreciation.

Their ability to understand poetry surpasses the average level of Celestial Dynasty, likely due to the richer artistic atmosphere on Blue Star.

Without a doubt!

Yi An was starting to become popular!

He was no longer a nameless fanfic author but a budding literary talent with a very high cultural level in the poetry world!

Even a large number of netizens were tagging Chu Kuang:

"Old rascal, come and see, this big boss named Yi An adapted 'Yang Xiaofan and Qin Tiange' for you, writing an extremely awesome set of verses!"

"Old rascal: My fans are this talented?"

"Hahaha, does the old rascal feel the pressure?"

"Your fan's talent is hardly any less than yours!"

"Old rascal, you brute only know about slashing and killing, look at someone like Yi An, how poetic and picturesque!"

"Old rascal, aren't you happy to have a fan like Yi An?"

"Hehehe, what does the old rascal think about the phrase 'There are plenty of other fish in the sea'?"

"..."

In the comments section, someone had even posted the full text of 'A Butterfly's Love for a Flower'.

Yi An hadn't set the prohibition against reposting, so everyone could freely share it around.

However.

What nobody had expected was.

Just after a large number of netizens tagged Chu Kuang, Chu Kuang actually posted a status update:

"There are plenty of other fish in the sea, why should one pine over a single flower."

In an instant, netizens burst into laughter!

"What's this all about?"

"Why should one pine over a single flower?"

"Old rascal, your words have ruined the mood completely, 'A Butterfly's Love for a Flower' is so classic!"

"Well, when you think about it, it does make sense."

"Simple and crude, yet it rhymes nicely and the meaning also connects very neatly."

"From now on, is this what we should use to comfort the heartbroken?"

"Chu Kuang and Yi An give all the dog lickers in the world a phrase: There are plenty of other fish in the sea, why should one pine over a single flower. Don't ask why this phrase is said by two people (dog head)."

"Seriously though, when you put these two lines together, the reasoning is indeed very thorough."

"Old rascal that's such a show-off, are you writing fan fiction for Yi An's 'A Butterfly's Love for a Flower'?"

"Asked how you evaluate Yi An's verses, and you went ahead and added this line to it."

"Yi An: Never would have thought, after I wrote a fanfic for Chu Kuang, he went and wrote one for me."

"..."

The netizens found it amusing.

As for Lin Yuan, he was purely adding to the fun himself, serving to heat up Yi An's popularity.

After all, he remembered this phrase, even without having to order it from the System, as it wasn't such an earth-shattering sentence.

In fact.

In Su Dongpo's 'A Butterfly's Love for a Flower', there was only the first line.

The so-called "why should one pine over a single flower" was added later on.

Because it was so fitting, many people even thought that both lines were from the same work, which shows how widely the phrase had spread.

It's just that Lin Yuan hadn't expected...

His casual addition had made it seem as if Chu Kuang had written a fanfic for Yi An's 'A Butterfly's Love for a Flower'.

But the effect had been achieved.

Yi An's 'A Butterfly's Love for a Flower' was revolving around the TV drama adapted for Chu Kuang.

With Chu Kuang himself participating in the interaction, it effectively accomplished a stealth transfer of fans.

Just that being teased by the netizens that the old rascal was shown up by a fan's literary grace, made it somewhat hard for Chu Kuang's pride to stay intact.

Lin Yuan, who had quietly switched to Chu Kuang mode, thought so.

Especially after he saw some of the comments from the netizens.

For instance, some netizens said:

"What's the skill in creating something following another's famous line? You come out looking weaker than Yi An right from the start. If you're so great, why don't you come up with a set of verses yourself!"

It would be fine if just one netizen said it.

The key was a bunch of netizens were saying it.

There were even netizens who said, "Chu Kuang's literary talent is indeed awesome, but his mastery of poetry seems average at best, certainly far less than his achievements in the field of novels, not like Xian Yu, who came up with a bunch of classic poems in his movie 'Flirting Scholar', now that's awesome!"

How could this happen?

No, this wouldn't do!

Yi An was just someone to make up for any shortcomings for Chu Kuang and Xian Yu!

Where is the sense in the original author being overshadowed by a fanfic writer?

Order must not be confused!

Priorities even more so!

Considering this.

Lin Yuan suddenly exchanged another 'A Butterfly's Love for a Flower' with the System and began rapidly typing away!

Done in one go!

Lin Yuan clicked to publish.

But the moment he published, Lin Yuan suddenly paused.

Eh?

Isn't Yi An also me?

What am I competing against myself for?

To think I fell for the netizens' goading!

Well, okay.

Having published it already.

If Yi An wrote one, Chu Kuang could write another, it's not that big a deal.

Three minutes later.

Netizens noticed that Chu Kuang had updated his status again, and the content was shockingly...

Butterfly! Love! Flower!
