and thousands of their poems are still read and appreciated today.
To arouse people's interest in those classic Chinese poems and promote cultural heritage, China Central Television (CCTV) produced a TV show - Chinese Poetry Conference.The finale (终场) of the hit show's second season was shown on Feb.7.
Wu Yishu, 16, who studies at the High School Affiliated to Fudan University in Shanghai, came out on top.In an earlier episode (一集), Wu wowed the audience when performing in a section entitled "Feihualing".The game's theme was "yue",meaning "moon" or "month" in Chinese.She recited the lines from the Classic of Poetry, the earliest collection of poems in China:"In July, the crickets (蟋蟀) are in the field.In August, they are in the yard.In September they are at the door.In October, they enter and crawl under our beds."
"I really admire her knowledge of poems," said Huang Zijin, 16, a Senior 2 student from Ningbo High School in Zhejiang Province."The first time I saw her wearing traditional Han clothing on TV, I was very impressed by her classical looks.She fulfills all my fantasies about classic Chinese women's talents.What's more, she always appears so calm throughout the show, which is very unusual for her age."
As the old saying goes, "One who is filled with knowledge always behaves with elegance."
"Learning poems isn't about winning or losing.The power of poetry lies in shaping one's view of life and developing one's inner world," said Li Bo, an expert guest at the Chinese Poetry Conference's second season.
When it comes to teaching people about poetry, Li Dingguang, the show's academic advisor, suggested that teachers should explain more about the beauty of the poetry from both the aesthetic (美学的) and emotional sides, and guide the students to lose themselves in the poems' rhythmic (有节奏的) and rhyming lines.
