Introduction to "Collected Poems of Chen Zilong" by Chen Zilong

Chen Zilong was a famous poet, lyricist, writer, and anti-Qing hero in the Ming Dynasty.

Chen Zilong was a influential figure in Jiangnan in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. He has "bright vision, and his spirit envelopes thousands of people, and everyone who sees it cannot fail to correct things" (Wu Weiye's "Meicun Poetry Talk"). Chen Zilong was not only a famous anti-Qing strategist in the late Ming Dynasty, but also the leader of the southeastern literary circle and the leader of the Yunjian School (Yunjian Ci School and Yunjian Poetry School). He "also dealt with poetry and ancient Chinese prose, adopting the methods of Wei and Jin Dynasties, and his parallel style is particularly exquisite" (the original biography of "History of the Ming Dynasty"). His poetic thoughts admired the Six Dynasties and the prosperous Tang Dynasty, and advocated the restoration of the seven sons of the Ming Dynasty. However, his later creations aimed to inherit the spirit of reflecting reality in the poetry creation of the prosperous Tang Dynasty. Therefore, his poems lamented current events, cared about people's livelihood, were heroic and heroic, and their vigorous colors were consistent with the moral integrity. , the seven-rhythm poem is particularly outstanding. His poems admire Li Jing and Li Yu of the Southern Tang Dynasty, as well as Five Dynasties, Huajian, and Song Qin Guan. They are elegant and elegant, and enjoy the reputation of "the first" in Ming Dynasty poems. Chen Zilong, Li Wen, Song Zhengbi, Song Zhengyu and other literati from several counties formed the Yunjian Ci School, ushering in the resurgence of Ci in the Qing Dynasty for three hundred years. His articles were concerned about the country, applied in the world, and worked hard to save the national destiny of the Ming Dynasty. The integrity of Chen Zilong's articles can be regarded as a model for future generations.

Chen Zilong has many literary achievements.

In terms of poetry, Chen Zilong's seven-rhythm poems and seven-character songs are more distinctive and accomplished. He is one of the three major poets in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties, as famous as Qian Qianyi and Wu Weiye. Although he had retro thoughts and ideas, he particularly emphasized the social significance of literary creation. He was the last great poet who ended the retro poetry creation in the Ming Dynasty. He was also an early great poet who pioneered the new trend of poetry in the early Qing Dynasty to express temperament and reflect reality. Wu Weiye, a great poet of his generation, commented on Chen Zilong's poems in "Meicun Poetry Talk" as being "extremely magnificent, powerful, and eye-catching." Wang Shizhen, the leader of the poetry circle during the Kangxi period, commented on Chen Zilong's poems in "Xiangzu Notes": "Chen Zilong's poems are magnificent, unparalleled among modern authors." Judging from his comparison, he is almost as talented as the ancients. He is unique in Meicun (Wu Weiye)."

In terms of Ci, Chen Zilong reversed the decline of Ci in the Ming Dynasty and opened up the Ci poetry in the Qing Dynasty. The revitalization situation continued until the end of the Qing Dynasty. When summarizing the achievements of poets from the early Ming Dynasty to the late Qing Dynasty, Tan Xian, a famous poet and poet, still gave a high evaluation: "Since the Ming Dynasty, the poets of Xiangzhen (Chen Zilong) have been ranked first. ", followed by drinking water", and said: "Chongguang (Li Yu)'s successor, only Wozi (Chen Zilong) is worthy of the title. Since the Southern Song Dynasty, Zhang Zhongju (Zhang Zhu) of the Yuan Dynasty has been slightly more famous. Zhen Zilong is a Tang Dynasty scholar and is a genius." (Qing Dynasty Tan Xian's "Futang Poetry Talk")

Chen Zilong's achievements in Fu and parallel prose are also very high. The "History of the Ming Dynasty" is said to be "a master of both poetry and ancient prose." , based on the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the parallel style is particularly exquisite." For example, "Farewell": "As far as the ancestors go to Zhejiang, they sing and change the water, and they are gradually sad. Be able to understand. I have no doubts about my loyalty to the king, but I am a strong man who is angry with his country. Works by Jiang Yan. Other poems such as "Feelings of Passing", "Animation of Hatred", "Autumn Rising" and "Xiang'e" are all desolate and desolate, and they also have sustenance for sorrow and chaos. The prose "Han cursed the Xiongnu in Dayuan" was obviously written in response to the invasion of the Qing soldiers, invoking the Han to curse the Xiongnu and curse the Manchus. Although these articles by Chen Zilong are based on the Wei and Jin Dynasties, they all incorporate the distinctive characteristics of the times and write about the loyalty and indignation of patriots. They are the product of the turmoil in the late Ming Dynasty.

Chen Zilong's eight-part essay is also very good. "History of the Ming Dynasty" calls him "Gongju Ziye", which refers to his attainments in eight-part essay. He is called "(Tian) Qi (Chong) Zhen" One of the "Five Great Masters", it had a great influence on the evolution of eight-part essay in the late Ming Dynasty.

Most of the works of various genres he wrote during his lifetime were collected in "The Complete Works of Chen Zhongyu Gong" published in the eighth year of Jiaqing in the Qing Dynasty (1803), and some of his articles were included in "Anya Hall Manuscript". The Ming and Qing Dynasties were a period of great historical turmoil and social changes, with various contradictions complicated. In March of Jiashen (1644), the peasant army captured Beijing and Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty committed suicide. Then the Qing troops entered the pass, Li Zicheng was defeated, and the newly established Dashun regime quickly collapsed. When the Qing troops marched south, the resistance of the people in Jiangnan was unprecedented in history. As a result, class contradictions were relegated to a secondary position and national contradictions became the principal contradiction. Volunteers sprang up all over the south of the Yangtze River, and many patriots took part in the struggle against the Qing Dynasty.

When the Ming and Qing dynasties changed, Chen Zilong became a representative of the patriotic literati at that time with his unique writings and strong national integrity. His poetic style is majestic, melancholy and vigorous, full of sincere feelings of concern for the country and the people and noble patriotic integrity. Wu Weiye said that his poems are "extremely majestic and powerful, and look at the whole world", and Wang Shizhen commented that his poems are "powerful and magnificent, unparalleled by modern authors, and almost as talented as the ancients." "Collected Poems of Chen Zilong" was originally the "Chinese Classical Literature Series" of our society. One kind, this reprint is divided into equal parts and printed in hardcover, and the content and format remain unchanged.
