Cultural background and life experience
The cultural background and life experience of the ancients are the basis of their excellent poetry creation. In ancient China, cultural inheritance and development was an important social activity. People express their thoughts and feelings by studying classics and reciting poems. At the same time, the life experiences of the ancients are also very colorful. They have experienced various life experiences such as war, disaster and love, and are important materials for creating excellent poems.
A profound understanding and grasp of literary creation
Ancient people had a profound understanding and mastery of literary creation, and they were able to turn every detail in their lives into beautiful poems. For example, Du Fu, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, is good at drawing inspiration from daily life. Many of his poems describe the life scenes of ordinary people, such as "Looking at Spring" and "Ascending the Mountain". In addition, the ancients can also use rich rhetorical devices and expressive skills, such as metaphor, personification and parallelism, to enhance the expressive force and appeal of poetry.
Social atmosphere advocating literature
Ancient society advocated literature, and poetry was regarded as a noble art form. In such a social atmosphere, many literati are committed to creating excellent poems and regard them as a realm of pursuing Excellence. This pursuit is not only reflected in their works, but also in their lifestyle and values. For example, Wang Zhihuan, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, once said, "Climb a mountain to see its trend, and listen to its voice near a stream." This spirit of pursuing Excellence also runs through his whole creative career.
In a word, the ancients were able to write excellent poems because of their unique cultural background and life experience, as well as their profound understanding and mastery of literary creation. At the same time, the ancient society advocated literature and provided a platform for literati to pursue Excellence. These factors contributed to the prosperity and development of ancient poetry.
