Chapter 1578: Chapter 1278: The Globally Popular “Xian Yu Anthology”_2

And even the boldness of “I shall climb to the pinnacle, to view all the mountains small.”

And so on and so forth.

Countless works are so well-received!

Writing people, scenes, and emotions to the deepest, can truly be said as every word a gem!

People reading for the first time will fall instantly.

But even readers who have read countless times, upon reopening these poems, still can’t help but feel a vast and majestic stirring!

…

And at this moment at home.

Lin Yuan never expected Xian Yu would make such an entrance onto the Blue Star author rankings.

But on second thought, with so many timeless poems on Earth, having transcribed more than three hundred, this effect isn’t surprising.

In fact, it’s rather low.

The reason for the low effect is nothing but the age; the influence hasn’t fully spread.

However, using this wave of author rankings’ buzz, I can make those poems I published years ago explode globally!

Indeed.

With the quality of those works, Lin Yuan thinks a global explosion is inevitable.

Because Blue Star is a world where Eastern culture reigns!

And classical poetry happens to be one of the significant crystals of Eastern culture!

Its beauty can only be appreciated by those steeped in Eastern culture from a young age!

At the same time.

Lin Yuan suddenly thought:

The Literature and Art Association must know that Xian Yu and Chu Kuang are the same person.

Now both of Xian Yu and Chu Kuang’s pen names are in the top ten of the author rankings.

It seems like the association intentionally regards the two pen names as two different people.

“If the cover is blown…”

If the cover is blown, and Xian Yu and Chu Kuang’s pen names merge as one, what effect would it have on the rankings?

Xian Yu’s poetry;

Chu Kuang’s novels;

Directly reaching the top of the author rankings is possible, right?

And would this affect Xian Yu’s rankings on the other two lists?

After all, influence is also one of the factors considered in the rankings.

At that moment.

Jin Mu suddenly called: “Silver Blue Books wants to reprint ‘Xian Yu Anthology’, does the boss have any content to add or remove?”

Add or remove?

Lin Yuan was momentarily stunned, then his eyes lit up: “How about I add a bit more weight to it? I happen to have some more poems and articles stored.”

Lin Yuan recalled there were over three hundred poems in the ‘Xian Yu Anthology.’

Now that ‘Xian Yu Anthology’ is trending, the reprint edition can go even bigger.

Add a massive amount of poetry!

After all, the poems from the Mount Lu poetry conference, many were created under specific themes.

And some poems, equally brilliant, weren’t presented back then because they didn’t fit the theme.

Now, directly releasing an anthology means not having to consider themes.

Just put whatever works you have into it; this is the time to scoop up the finest poems from Earth!

…

Of course, the outside world knows nothing of Xian Yu’s plan.

The future is long.

Not to mention what will happen if the cover is blown.

But as global readers suddenly began purchasing ‘Xian Yu Anthology’ en masse, there was a sudden shortage of paper in Luoyang.

Major bookstores experienced a wave of stock shortages!

Silver Blue Books received the news and contacted Xian Yu immediately.

After reaching some cooperative plans with Xian Yu, they began working overnight, overtime printing this old book!

On another front.

Readers who managed to purchase the book were utterly captivated by the poetry in ‘Xian Yu Anthology’!

Continents started to fall!

“It’s a bit funny to say, but as a Qin person, I actually read all of Fish Papa’s poems for the first time, even though many around me from peers to elders recommended this work, didn’t expect to have missed it for so many years!”

“As a fellow Qin person, I was stunned years ago.”

“I’m from Qi Continent, read ‘Xian Yu Anthology’ back in elementary school a few years ago, my dad forced me to, had a mysterious resistance to Xian Yu’s poetry back then, now I’m in middle school, reading these poems, I’m so drawn to them.”

“As a Chu person, a mother, I made my son memorize some of the pieces inside (smile).”

“Awooo, Xian Yu’s poetry talent is unparalleled in the world!”

“I did some calculations, the one upstairs must be a Yan Continent elder brother.”

“Actually, ‘Xian Yu Anthology’ sales aren’t that high in Han Continent, but at least always bought by some people, though seems a bit niche compared to Chu Kuang old rascal’s bestsellers.”

“Now it’s already mainstream.”

“As a Zhao Continent person, ‘Xian Yu Anthology’ is considered the number one masterpiece in the hearts of Zhao people, destined to dominate the Zhao literary world for a hundred years, many Zhao literati can’t raise their heads, I won’t say more, it’s not a good thing anyway.”

“As a Middle State person, kneeling already!”

“No wonder Chu Kuang fought for so many years and only reached sixth, Xian Yu with so many talent-overflowing works is only eighth!”

“Wow, is it really as impressive as you all say?”

“Don’t bully me just because I didn’t get the book, okay!”

“You don’t believe it?”

“Then let me recite a few lines for you.”

“How can I lower my head and bow for the powerful? Making me unable to smile with joy.”

“Stars hang low, wide plains vast, the moon surges as the great river flows. Floating, what does it resemble? A lone sandpiper in the world.”

“If love can last forever, do we need to be together day after day?”

“Shall climb to the pinnacle…”

“I know this one, to view all the mountains small, right? It was Xian Yu’s original poem?”

“There’s much more.”

“Continue, continue, I’ll write it down in my notebook!”

…

This marks the first time on Blue Star there’s been such a wide range of manual piracy, with many who couldn’t get the book relying on those who did or already had it to “spill the beans” about ‘Xian Yu Anthology’.

This phenomenon is so bizarre that netizens find it amusing yet baffling.

Interestingly, some people can even recite all the works in ‘Xian Yu Anthology’ from memory!

Yes.

The entire content memorized.

Hundreds of poems and articles.

Even including the piece Xian Yu recited during the Mount Lu poetry conference, “Teacher’s Talk”!

According to these people, “Xian Yu Anthology has always been our treasure.”

Even when the global population hadn’t recognized ‘Xian Yu Anthology’, some were already infatuated with Xian Yu’s poems, hopelessly smitten.

You could say it wasn’t as popular back then.

Its sales surely couldn’t match those bestsellers.

But in many minds, it’s not about popularity.

It’s a classic, essential reading in life, something missing would be regrettable for a lifetime!

And now.

Even “not popular enough” has become a thing of the past.

With the reprinting completed by Silver Blue Books, a vast amount of brand new ‘Xian Yu Anthology’ is fresh out!

Ura!

Major bookstores are crazily restocking!

Countless customers are buying fervently!

This book-selling event even surpasses the time when ‘Siege’ was launched!

Of course, it doesn’t mean Xian Yu’s book market appeal surpasses Chu Kuang, after all, it’s Xian Yu’s first-time ranking on the Blue Star author list, a rather peculiar situation.

Who doesn’t have dumplings at New Year’s?

But upon seeing the newly published ‘Xian Yu Anthology’, many fell into deep thought.

Because the new ‘Xian Yu Anthology’ consists of three volumes.

One is the upper volume.

One is the middle volume.

One is the lower volume.

Although each volume is slightly thinner compared to the old ‘Xian Yu Anthology’, the three volumes combined are much thicker than the original.

This is different from the old version!

At the time, someone asked the shop assistant about it.

The shop assistant smiled slightly: “Silver Blue Books announced today that the new ‘Xian Yu Anthology’ not only has a higher price, but also more content than before as it includes a lot of new poetry and articles by Teacher Admirable Fish in recent years.”

Over three hundred poems and articles weren’t enough?

Xian Yu added even more works!?

For those who don’t know, they’d think Xian Yu is possessed by Chu Kuang, the old rascal!

But regarding the new version’s increased poetry and articles, readers aren’t displeased; instead, they’re excited!

In such cases, the more, the better!

Those who bought the old version and thought they didn’t need the new one are dumbfounded.

The old version isn’t complete!

That goes without saying.

Those with the old version can only rush back to bookstores to buy the latest set of the ‘Xian Yu Anthology’.

Thus, Xian Yu’s more classic poetry and articles are out in the world!

———————

PS: There are too many wonderful classical poems and articles; it’s impossible to write them all slowly. For instance, if you wrote one chapter per poem in the Three Hundred Tang Poems, it would take three hundred chapters, not to mention there are also lyrics and articles, and not just the Tang Dynasty had poets, so the slow-paced writing in the early and middle stages is fine, but later it’s obviously unrealistic to continue like that, so releasing an anthology is a clever approach.
