The Spirit of Meteorological Youth in the Prosperous Tang Dynasty —— Literature in the Prosperous Tang Dynasty

What was the weather like in the prosperous Tang Dynasty in the literary history of more than 300 years?

In Ming Dynasty, Gao Kun divided Tang poetry into four stages: early Tang, prosperous Tang, middle Tang and late Tang.

Mao Chunrong said that although the poetic style changes with fate, changing venues is not limited by age. The changes in poetry and prose are sometimes not completely consistent with the changes in our seasons and ages. The prosperous Tang Dynasty was a great Tang Dynasty and a very prosperous time in China's history. It is an era of strong national strength and remarkable cultural achievements. It is also a place where powerful China gathers overseas Chinese. We say that the costumes representing our nation can choose Tang suit. It refers to the prosperous Tang Dynasty and the powerful China. The word "weather" is very special In modern Chinese, we should pay attention to today's weather every day. But in China's literature, especially in the Tang Dynasty, the word "meteorology" was used to evaluate poetry, which began in the Tang Dynasty.

In the Tang Dynasty, there was a poet named Jiao Ran who proposed meteorology in his poem "Poetic Style". Jiang Kui, a musician, regards meteorology as a decent blood sport in the poems of Taoist Baishi. Yan Yu, a historian of the Southern Song Dynasty, said in Cang Hua:

It is really a world of difference to say that the poems of the Tang Dynasty are not clumsy.

First, evaluate Mi Yuanzhang's calligraphy, and then evaluate Yan's calligraphy. Yan's calligraphy has a vigorous beauty. Mi Fei was also a calligrapher in the Song Dynasty, and he, Su Shi, Huang Tingjian and Cai Xiang were also called the four great calligraphers in the Song Dynasty. He Zhu Tie of Miffy.

Mi Fei's calligraphy left an impression on Yan Yu that his brushwork was vigorous and powerful. There seems to be some flavor of Confucius disciple Luz. He is very brave and straightforward, but he is a bit reckless. We can understand how Yan Yu uses the word meteorology from two calligraphy works.

In Tao Mingxi's Miscellaneous Notes on Poetry, it is said that the five elements of Yan Yu's poetry are compared with the human body. He said that a complete person should be an organic whole, and it is incomplete without a part. Poetry, like people, contains five elements: physique, gree, meteorology, interest and syllable. Constitution is like a person's trunk, it must be strong; Gree, like human bones and muscles, must be strong; How's the weather? Just like a person's body, it must be solemn; Interest, like human spirit, must be lively; Music, like human language, must be clear. These five elements are all adults, so it is the same for poetry. Poetry is a kind of language art, and meteorology refers to the overall impression poetry gives people. What he appreciates most is the poems of the prosperous Tang Dynasty. He believes that only by writing according to the face of poetry in the prosperous Tang Dynasty can a good poem be written.
