新世纪诗典11,NPC3月17日,4000首,1243人。第2个黄平子(江西)日
《新世纪诗典》大节点一4000首纪念日!
《新诗典》小档案:黄平子,男,70后,中学教师,在《新世纪诗典》、《磨铁读诗会》、《诗快报》等发表作品。磨铁读诗会2020年度汉语十佳诗人。傲夫诗社成员。写作是一种编码的过程,阅读是一种解码的过程。
伊沙推荐:《新世纪诗典》,第4000首推荐诗,留给一首极具经典性的作品。如果没有最后一句质感十足的蛰人句子,这只是一首很一般的诗,有了此句,一跃而居上品,这便是句的重要性,以及句与篇的关系。
伊沙:《新世纪诗典》4000天纪念日,萧衍有言:刻意为之,不算功德一一以此言自勉,走向未来。
况禹点评《新诗典》黄平子《夏天》:诗是一种非常奇特的文学体裁。奇就在于它不能以逻辑和因果来判定成败。有的诗,句句惊人,捏合到一起不成样子,甚至到结尾彻底掉了链子。有的诗,句句平易,临到结尾却来了句漂亮的翻转。本诗即是后者的一个代表。

像母亲一样低头
母亲
像水稻一样弯腰

水稻
用叶子割母亲的脸

黄平子,男,70后,中学教师,在《新世纪诗典》、《磨铁读诗会》、《诗快报》等发表作品。磨铁读诗会2020年度汉语十佳诗人。写作是一种编码的过程,阅读是一种解码的过程。首先,要感谢磨铁,感谢沈浩波,里所,后乞。《夏天》先在磨铁读诗会选用。磨铁的肯定,增加了我投稿新世纪诗典的信心。其次,感谢伊沙,感谢他的选稿,感谢他在新世纪诗典4000首大关这个重要节点推荐《夏天》。第三,感谢《夏天》的评论者,翻译者,推荐者。《夏天》是写母亲的,也不仅仅写母亲。《夏天》是写童年记忆的,记忆里有苦痛,又不仅仅是苦痛。我喜欢夏天,喜欢夏天的热。在最热的夏天,我也不戴草帽,一任炎热的太阳晒出我的汗,晒脱我的皮。我一直很怕冷,夏天很好,不用愁没有衣服穿,大不了打赤膊。夏天是农村的收获季节。水稻在夏天成熟,花生在夏天成熟,西瓜在夏天成熟……虽然夏天忙得人直不起腰来,但是忙过了就有吃,有什么不好呢?我的老家太窝要山没山,要水没水。我们一家人就靠几亩薄地糊口。我父亲结扎后身体不好,家里的活大多由母亲做。在农村,割稻子是最辛苦的事。头顶有烈日,脚下有泥水。水稻的长叶子上长着锯齿,像一把把小锯子。一发稻子割下来,脸上、手上,到处都是血口子。稻子上还有细细的绒毛,沾到身上,有说不出的痒。天太热,湿答答的衣服又捂出了一身痱子……这让人又爱又恨的夏天啊!2022年3月16日20点43分

10 YEARS – NPC十岁了!
10 years ago, Yi Sha 伊沙 began to present one poem each day on Chinese social media. This has become a representative collection of new poetry in the new century, aptly named NPC, New Poetry Canon 新世纪诗典.
Eight years ago I began to look for NPC poems each day, translating more and more into German and English. In 2014 my own poetry appeared on NPC for the first time. After two books of Yi Sha’s poetry, I have now published, along with Juliane Adler, the first book of a 4-volume-series of NPC poetry in Chinese and German. Here are the contents:

Yi Sha
WINTER
On my way to the vegetable supermarket
in our compound
I see a small girl
on a big rock at the artificial lake
right above the ice going to
jump!
I am shouting:
„Don’t jump! Danger!“
But in this time
she has jumped already,
lightly,
safely
landing on the thick surface.
She turns around to me,
makes a ballet move
and becomes a small white swan.
Translated by MW, 4/3/2021
Yi Sha
WINTER
Ich geh zum Gemüsesupermarkt
in der Wohnhausanlage,
seh auf dem Weg ein kleines Mädchen
auf einem Felsen am künstlichen See,
sie will auf das Eis hinunter
springen!
Ich schrei:
„Achtung! Nicht springen!“
aber in der Zeit
ist sie schon gesprungen,
ganz leicht
und sicher
auf dem festen Eis gelandet.
Sie dreht sich zu mir um
in einer Bewegung aus dem Ballett
und wird ein kleiner weißer Schwan.

if
if we could kiss & love all day
maybe we wouldn’t go astray;
maybe we wouldn’t break our vows,
maybe we wouldn’t break our necks,
maybe we would not break our words,
maybe we would not break our heads.
it’s worth a try for you and I
a day in love,
a day regained,
a day at work,
a day with child.
with sun and wind both rather mild.
a normal day. it’s not so bad.
we cope. we function. we’re not mad
at anyone if we can help
ourselves to coffee, smoking, beer
or maybe lips. or maybe arms.
if we could piss and fart all night
maybe our troubles would be light
compared to other people’s fear.
we seldom write our nightmares down.
the pencil is not right at hand.
if we can tell it we are good.
if someone listens we are fine.
if we could telephone all day
if we could dance or read all night
maybe we wouldn’t go astray
maybe we couldn’t go and fight
each other in a different way.
each day is full of work and fright
and light and kisses
in our heads
till we are dead.
i love you.
see you soon, take care.

New painting by Yang Jinsong. Would love to see it up close. No melons, cats or fish, very simple drawing style, concentrated. The two figures are just arriving.

ansprache
die sprache ertappen
die sprach zu ersuchen
die sprache erflehen
die sprach anzurufen
die sprache erbitten
die sprach zu erfahren
die sprache erwaegen
die sprach aufzubahren
die sprach anzutreffen
die sprach zu erlernen
die sprache der titten
die sprach in den sternen
die sprache des mondes
die rede des himmels
den atem der wolken
die luft in den baeumen
das licht in den zweigen
das gras auf den feldern
die sprache erfinden
die sprache erhoeren
den abend erwarten
mit kraehen und staren
mit waeldern und graeben
und wasser in wegen
mit blaettern und kaefern
mit schwingen und beinen
noch einen dann reicht es
fuer heut gute nacht

去捷克三天,在布拉格犹太庙里印象很深的有小孩在集中营做的画和其他艺术品,还有诗歌。

Čtrnáctiletý Hanuš Hachenburg a s ním i ostatní nově hledají své místo na světě, které jim bylo
ukradeno.
„Co jsem?
Ke kterému patřím z národů?
Já děcko bloudící?
Je mojí vlastí hradba ghett,
či země zrající,
spějící, malá, spanilá,
jsou Čechy vlastí, svět?“ [8]
Odpovědí na Hanušovy otázky mohou být verše Františka Basse. Tento chlapec vyjadřuje hrdost na svůj
původ a neochotu poddat se. Promlouvá ke všem Židům, podněcuje je k tomu, aby se nestyděli za to
kým jsou a aby po zemi vždy kráčeli se vzpřímenou hlavou.
“Jsem žid
Jsem žid a židem zůstanu
i když já hlady umírati budu
tak nepodám se národu
Bojovat já vždy budu
za můj národ na mou čest
Nikdy se stydět nebudu
za můj národ na mou čest.
Pyšný já jsem na svůj národ
jakou má ten národ čest
Vždy já budu utlačený
Vždy já budu zase žít.“[9]
Upstairs in the Pinkas Synagogue at the Old Jewish Cemetery of Prague, they have a collection of children’s art works from Theresienstadt (Terezin), where the Jews from Bohemia, Moravia and other regions were imprisoned before further deportation. Very few children, about 100 of 50.000, survived. I don’t remember the exact numbers, please check the links in the pictures, there is a lot of information, and there are pictures of the synagogues in Prague, some of the children’s art works, and so on. At the other end of the Old Jewish cemetery, at the Klausen Synagogue, in a glass case somewhere among the explanations about Jewish holidays, customs and traditions, was a little poem that begins with “Jsem žid“, “I am Jewish”. It was written by František Bass, or Franz Bass, don’t know how they called him at home. Franz Bass sounds very much like Franz Kafka. Many Jews spoke German, or Jiddish, others spoke Czech, many spoke and wrote all three and more. František Bass was 11 years old. The poem is not very long, and rather conventional, as a patriotic poem. It is very forceful, very powerful, in the circumstances. So I wrote it down, in Czech, tried to copy all those letters and symbols exactly. There was an English translation next to the original poem. But although I don’t speak Czech, I could tell that the original was a real poem, there is economy in the words, there are very few words compared to the clumsy translation. I wrote it down, and a few days later I got around to Google the poem. So I found this paper online, a thesis or a dissertation at a Czech university, just a text file. The little poem by Franz Bass is quoted in full, and it is put in context with another poem by the 14-year-old Hanuš Hachenburg. Hanush Hachenburg asks, asks himself and the listener what he his, which country or nation he could belong to. He should be Czech, at least he writes in Czech. But no, Hachenburg is answered by Frantishek Bass, he can only say for certain that he’s Jewish. And you can be proud of being Jewish, says Frantishek Bass. That’s what his poem is about, so I’ve called it patriotic. I think it’s very powerful. Jsem žid a židem zůstanu, i když já hlady umírati budu, tak nepodám se národu. I am Jewish, I will stay Jewish, even if I die of hunger, I won’t give up my nation. Or I won’t give in to any other nation, it doesn’t really matter, you’ll see. Bojovat já vždy budu, za můj národ na mou čest, Nikdy se stydět nebudu, za můj národ na mou čest. I’ll always be fighting, for my nation, on my honor. I’ll never be ashamed of my nation, on my honor. Big words. I grew up in Austria, and I’ve lived in China for a long while, and there is ample reason in Austria and in China and in many other places to be suspicious of such words. But in this Czech Jewish poem, they are different words, their meaning is different. Pyšný já jsem na svůj národ, jakou má ten národ čest. I am proud of my nation, an honorful nation. Vždy já budu utlačený, Vždy já budu zase žít. I will always be oppressed and killed, and I’ll always live again.

herbst
in wenigen tagen
die blaetter sind rot
in wenigen tagen
die blaetter sind gelb
in wenigen tagen
bald wirbelt der schnee
in wenigen tagen
heut ist es noch mild
fuer ein paar minuten
der mond steigt herauf
fuer ein paar minuten
man sieht noch ganz gut
fuer ein paar minuten
wer kostet das licht
fuer ein paar minuten
wir fahren nach haus

fizzdom is flower
knowing doesn’t make you better,
reading doesn’t make you good.
discipline can make you stronger,
make you breathe a little longer,
teach you how to wear your hood.
you would think that’s understood.
