Literati:
1 refers to Zhou's ancestor. "Poetry, elegance and Jianghan": "Tell the literati." Mao Chuan: "Scholars are also virtuous people."
("Inform the literati" means to tell the ancestors; "Literati, virtuous man" means that Zhou Xianzu is a man of literary talent and virtue. )
2. refers to people who can read and write. Cao Pi's Book of Martial Arts: "Throughout the ancient and modern literati, people don't care about details."
("Throughout the ancient and modern literati, the class does not care about fine lines." It means that most people who can read books from ancient times to the present do not pay attention to details. )
Poet:
Also known as the poet, it is another name for the poet. Originated from Qu Yuan's Li Sao, later generations often describe poets or literati as frustrated poets. Refers to a literate person.
Literati poet: a virtuous person called an ancestor in ancient times. The latter metaphor refers to a person who has failed to realize his ambition by dancing and writing.
Literati poet: "Since ancient times, there have been many literati poets, and the emperor has always been an orphan." "Literati and poets are very affectionate and homesick."
Extended data:
There are three reasons for the poet's "Sao":
First, the poet Li Sao is also related to Qu Yuan, the first scholar in China.
As we all know, The Book of Songs and Li Sao are the sources of ancient articles, which dominated realism and romanticism respectively. Later generations called "Feng" in The Book of Songs and "Sao" in "Li Sao" as "Sao", collectively referred to as articles.
So a "poet" is a person who writes articles. Let's look at Qu Yuan who wrote Li Sao. I think he is the first recorded scholar in the history of China. His spirit and personality became a model for later scholars, and influenced generations of scholars in China.
Secondly, coquettish and sexy are also related to the lewd heart of literati. In the dialect of our third school, if you say a person is "sexy", you will say that this person is really "coquettish".
Looking up the Chinese dictionary, the cloud "Sao" means "frivolous behavior and dirty style"
Ancient literati loved color and often went in and out of restaurants and bars. Bai Juyi, Su Shi, Du Mu and others have all been to the kiln, and even took prostitutes as concubines. The articles handed down from generation to generation by Liu Yong are all written for prostitutes, and they are all written with tick marks.
In fact, ancient literati loved prostitutes and had nothing to do with morality. At that time, Cain advocated that "a woman without talent is virtue", that is, her wife was uneducated and unable to communicate.
Prostitutes can play and sing, and they are also proficient in lyrics and poetry. Besides, they are not bound by ethics, and their temperament is sultry and pleasing to the eye. Therefore, a sexy man is a coquettish man, that is, a poet.
Thirdly, grievances are also related to the frustration of literati. Ancient articles are rarely written by literati.
They are bohemian and outspoken, which is incompatible with the "ethics" advocated by the government. They are both "hard" and "pedantic". They also write articles to vent their anger, complain a lot, often attack society, praise and criticize current events.
Therefore, now we look at ancient articles, many of which are "worrying about the country and the people", that is, complaining.
They are often not very successful in their official careers. They can't be officials, they can't be big officials, and their ideals can't be realized. They write small poems and essays to express their pain.
For example, Qu Yuan, Liu Zongyuan and Fan Zhongyan. , all worked as officials, frustrated in officialdom, and even exiled to the border. So they mourned and complained about places of interest during the trip, which we called "chanting things and expressing their hearts".
It can be seen that poets are also grumblers.
