Keywords: Xin Qiji; Words; artistic style
Xin Qiji was the most outstanding patriotic poet in the Southern Song Dynasty, with more than 600 poems handed down from generation to generation. His words are closely related to the road of life. Lyrics began before returning to the south, but not many have been handed down; After returning to Shangrao Lake from the south at the age of 42, he created many bold and tragic characters, expressing his ambition to reorganize the old rivers and mountains. He lived with Lake for ten years until he was dismissed for the second time, and his creation reached a peak, with great development in theme and artistic style, during which many famous works were produced. In his later years, he made a comeback, and some hawks were re-employed. Although his works are not many, most of his words still reflect his feelings of caring about reality and loving the country.
First, the artistic style of Xin Qiji's ci
Xin Qiji has made great achievements in the creation of ci. He took Wen as his ci, which expanded the scope of ci's subject matter and enriched the expression of ci. Most of his ci creation has the artistic style of bold, gloomy, solemn and stirring, combining rigidity with softness.
(A) unrestrained
Since Su Dongpo created bold and unconstrained ci, the style of Song ci is diverse, graceful and bold, and each shines brilliantly. In the Southern Song Dynasty, Xin Qiji pushed the uninhibited style of Song Ci to a new climax. Politically, Xin Qiji is a representative of the hawk school, and his just and patriotic attitude has had an important influence on the style of ci. Xin Qiji emphasized that times, social changes, thoughts and feelings should be the important content and fundamental purpose of literary creation. In particular, a person's lofty sentiments and ambitions should be the source of the charm of literary works. He doesn't agree that literary works only express "joys and sorrows" and "children's grievances", especially the over-disciplined and over-refined expression of Song Ci: "Deliberately outstanding in China, but not ingenious and exquisite." (Linjiang Fairy) He attaches importance to emotion, stresses momentum, and advocates the vigorous and thunderous style of bold and unconstrained words. Xin Qiji was ambitious all his life. Many of his poems described his participation in the anti-gold struggle and expressed his desire to recover the Central Plains. For example, in "Hidden in the Water Dragon" (Deng Jiankang's "Banquet Pavilion"), the beginning of the words is written from Deng Ting's perspective, "Autumn is a thousand miles away, and water goes with the day to the end of autumn." The "Chutian" here refers to the sky in the south of the Yangtze River. What the author sees most is such a scene: Chutian, thousands of miles away, has boundless autumn colors, and the water of the Yangtze River flows to the horizon as far as the eye can see. The vast scenery shows the poet's broad mind of the motherland.
(2) Depression and tragedy
Xin Qiji served his country all his life, but the Southern Song Dynasty did not pay attention to him. This is Xin Qiji's greatest mental depression. Therefore, expressing deep and endless words of worry and anger has become another starting point of Xin Ci's patriotic thought, which accounts for the majority in his works. For example, the broken array is the representative of this kind of words, and the "poor and white" in the lyrics shows that the Southern Song Dynasty killed not only personal talent, but also the hope of the rejuvenation of the whole nation-state. In a drunken dream, the poet returned to the battlefield in a trance and ordered troops to kill the enemy for meritorious service, but the last sentence returned to reality: the ambition is not paid, and the hero is dying. Another example is Happy Forever? Gu Beiting in Jingkou recalls the past, and the first word is nostalgia, which is actually a painful lesson, implicitly expressing the poet's high fighting spirit of "martyrs in their twilight years are full of courage." Xin Qiji spent a year in Zhenjiang, actively preparing for war, but was suddenly transferred and then dismissed from office. Han Jian's obstinacy led to the fiasco of the Northern Expedition. 1207, 68-year-old Xin Qiji passed away with a lifelong ambition.
(3) combine rigidity with softness
Xin Qiji's ci has both bold and unrestrained momentum and the characteristics of "elegance and grace, grace and charm", showing the artistic style of combining rigidity with softness. Some are imitative, some are imitative of Li Qingzhao's ci style, and some are graceful and restrained, such as Qin Guan and Yan's poems, which are the reappearance of their style of combining rigidity with softness. Like the sapphire case? The word "Yuan" mainly creates an image of aloof, indifferent and indulgent, which is the representative work of Xin Qiji's poetic style of combining rigidity with softness. The Lantern Festival scene written by the author at the beginning of the poem is a contrast between those who are laughing and laughing, and the lonely "that person". The whole word * * *, a total of 13 sentences, with 9 sentences as a comparison. Only the last four sentences, the author wrote the main characters, reappearing the lonely character of the characters. In this work, the author puts this image in the lively scene of Lantern Festival, flaming trees and silver flowers, which shows his superb creative skills. Through this superb artistic technique, readers are reminded of the poet's political frustration and depressed mood. It is not difficult to see that "that person" in the word is a true portrayal of the author's own exclusion.
