Hermit Poetry of Hermit Culture
Landscape poetry and "hermit poetry" can be said to be twin sisters. Live in seclusion and be proud of the mountain. If you are in the nymphs, you will certainly embrace the mountains and rivers, praise them and sing among them, forming a landscape poem that expresses your feelings in the scenery and expresses your feelings through the scenery. Different from the landscape of the previous generation, the landscape poems of the Six Dynasties are more detached and free, more elegant in style and more graceful and meaningful. Some people think that the poetic style of the Six Dynasties is too extravagant. If it refers to some poems, especially those of later generations, it is biased to attribute it to extravagance. Some people like to compare the poems of the Six Dynasties with Han Fu, thinking that the latter is vigorous and powerful, while the former is delicate and dignified. This is a question of aesthetic orientation. People who are used to hearing the voices of Huang Zhong and Lu Da often don't like the light sounds of silk and bamboo. In fact, Han Fu is good, and the poems of the Six Dynasties are good. Whether it's the yellow land or the soft voice of silk and bamboo, all the excellent ones have their aesthetic value and can't be measured by a ruler. Take the landscape poems of the Six Dynasties for example, there are many excellent works. Like Zuo Si's poem "not necessarily silk and bamboo, the landscape has a clear sound"; Xie Lingyun's poem "Clouds and the sun set each other off, the empty water is fresh" and "Looking at the mountains and white clouds, looking beyond the flat"; Xie's poems, such as "Knowing the boat in the sky and distinguishing the river tree from the cloud", are as beautiful as landscape poems in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. In Zhong Rong's poems, the evaluation of Xie Shi is: "One chapter has its own jade"; "Strange chapters and beautiful sentences are often a warning." When talking about Xie's poems in Qing Dynasty, Wang Fuzhi once said, "Heaven knows the boat, but trees in the clouds distinguish the river." There is a man, full of emotions, ready to come out. From then on, writing scenery is a scene of life. There is no gap in the chest and no temperament in the eyes. Although I have read all the books in the world, I can't say a word. "This is to the point. Of course, the poems of the Six Dynasties also include landscape poems, some of which are mediocre and some are just rhetoric. It is this style of writing that Liu Xie criticized in Wen Xin Diao Long.
