China's ancient poems, different from the times, have a lot to do with the neighboring social environment. Even looking at ancient and modern times, it is difficult to find the true essence, and the content and emotion are often very different. We will explain the charm of China's ancient poems and songs one by one from the perspectives of different periods and historical environments.
Tang poetry is an early art form in China. In the prosperous period of the Tang Dynasty, when crossing China, compared with other periods in China, the environment was very mild, there were few wars, and most of them enjoyed peace. Then the biggest job of these idle literati is just to preserve articles and improve their literary talents, among which poetry, as the main means of communication, has been pushed to the highest period in history.
The Tang and Song Dynasties were two times when everyone came forth in large numbers. The word "Ci" was spread unprecedentedly in the Song Dynasty. Ci can be expressed in words but not in poetry. During this period, various forms of epigrams have changed, which is also a competitive game between literati and poets as a contrast. Lyrics also became a game at that time.
Why can't the beauty of Song Ci be replicated in modern times? That's because the rhythm of modern people's life and the law of diversification of living conditions have basically covered this kind of static and comfortable beauty, so we often appreciate these words with a sense of distance and beauty, because we are in different historical background conditions, it is really difficult to appreciate the real charm.
The Artistic Charm of China's Classical Poetry
Artistic rhetoric is widely used in classical poetry. Generally speaking, metaphor, exaggeration, personification, questioning, antithesis, etc. Are very common. In addition, intertextuality and listing are not common and some are difficult to understand. Allusions and allusions are common expressions in ancient poetry.
China has been known as a "poetic country" since ancient times, and the Tang Dynasty was an era of unprecedented prosperity of poetry. The number, high quality, wide spread and deep influence of Tang poetry surpassed that of any previous dynasty, and played an important role in connecting the past and the future.
