A Lecture by Mr. Chen Xiaoou Mr. Chen Xiaoou, a haiku poet in Kunming, China, delivered a lecture on English Short Verse (Haiku) on 9, June. There were ten attendants who have some knowledge of English and are interested in literature. Mr. Chen Xiaoou first gave a brief introduction to the history of Japanese haiku, explaining what a waka (most often tanka) looks like, and how it developed into renga, and how haiku eventually evolved. As Mr. Chen Xiaoou pointed out, it is amazing to note that, when a tanka is translated into Chinese, it looks very much like a haiku in Chinese version! Then Mr. Chen Xiaoou explained how Japanese haiku has successfully spread all over the world, especially the USA, Europe, Australia and India. “It is a great pity that, though China and Japan have always been closely connected in culture and literature, the tradition of haiku is little known in China,” said Mr. Chen Xiaoou. Mr. Chen Xiaoou presented some traditional haiku pieces, including the classic work of Yamazaki Sookan, Arakida Moritake and Matsuo Bashoo, followed by a number of excellent verses by modern haiku poets. Slowly and gradually, the charming beauty of the art of haiku began to blossom in the attendants’ heart. The lecture lasted nearly two hours and was very much enjoyed by the participants, and everybody found himself in an entirely new world. Mr. Chen Xiaoou plans to hold further lectures on the subject so that more and more people in China shall have the opportunity of enjoying the great charm of the Japanese short verse.
Here are two photos about Mr. Chen Xiaoou’s lecture.
