The Romance of the Three Kingdoms attracts readers because there are military strategists and brave military commanders in it. The Water Margin attracts readers because there are brave people who are loyal to the liver, righteous and courageous, and there are also traitors who hate their guts. So, why is Journey to the West attractive? When I was a child, I only knew that there was a the Monkey King and a group of goblins in it. Now I'm beginning to realize that this may be due to its surrealism.
From this, I can't help thinking of Qu Yuan and Chu Ci. After two exiles, Qu Yuan may have gradually seen the gap between society and ideals. When the ideals could not be realized, his poems were full of romanticism. The contradiction between ideal and reality forced Qu Yuan to "drive a young man to Bai Chi, and I will visit the gardens in Yao Xi with China. Climbing Kunlun Mountain is like eating jade, life is longer than heaven and earth, and life is longer than the sun and the moon, living in Guang Qi ... "The unsuccessful experience of life forced Qu Yuan to gallop romantic imagination and use the 245 lines in Li Sao to" look around ". From heaven to earth, he trudged a long and tortuous journey, through the ages, to find his own ideals, appreciation and sustenance. Over the years, under the influence of Qu Yuan, The Songs of the South became the source of romanticism in China's classical literature.
Romantic poetry can not only be imagined by the poet himself, but also be integrated into the artistic conception when readers appreciate reading, so as to feel the poet's ideal. In addition, because most of the romantic poems have entrusted the poet's various wishes, they have objectively played a great role in promoting social development. You know Verne. Verne's science fiction is so popular that it must have something to do with this truth.
Li Bai's romanticism;
Realism and Romanticism are two great traditions in the history of China literature, both of which have reached new heights in Tang poetry. Li Bai's poems and songs have a lofty position in the development of romantic poetry.
The myths and legends created orally by ancient people are the seeds of romanticism in the history of China literature. During the Warring States Period, Qu Yuan absorbed the achievements of the previous generation of literature and culture, and created a series of brilliant poems in the real struggle, which created the first peak of rich content and fantastic form for the romantic tradition. At the same time, Zhuangzi created many absurd fables in his philosophical prose, which also made important contributions to the romantic tradition. From the Han Dynasty to the early Tang Dynasty, the romantic tradition developed continuously in the creation of folk and progressive literati. Shang Mo Sang and Mulan Ci in Yuefu folk songs of Han, Wei and Six Dynasties, some poems by Cao Zhi, Ruan Ji, Zuo Si, Tao Yuanming and Bao Zhao, and excellent legends in novels of the Six Dynasties all enriched the romantic tradition. In the prosperous Tang Dynasty, there appeared the climax of romantic poetry represented by Li Bai.
Li Bai's poems and songs inherited the achievements of the previous generation's romantic creation. With their rebellious thoughts and bold styles, they reflected the optimistic creative spirit and potential power of dissatisfaction with feudal order in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, expanded the expressive field of romanticism, enriched the expressive methods of romanticism, and to some extent reflected the combination of romanticism and realism. These achievements make his poetry a new peak of romantic poetry after Qu Yuan.
Li Bai also made outstanding contributions to the innovation of Tang poetry. He inherited Chen Ziang's poetic innovation thought, and achieved the final success in theory and practice. In his first poem "Antique", he reviewed the whole history of poetry development and pointed out that "beauty is not precious since Jian 'an". And with the heroic spirit, he affirmed the correct way for Tang poetry to pull back the decadent wind and restore the elegant tradition. In the thirty-fifth "Antique", he criticized the remaining formalistic poetic style that emphasized simulated carving and neglected ideological content: "A brilliant song is childish. "In creative practice, he also has similarities with Chen Ziang, writing more ancient styles and less regular poems, but his achievements in learning Yuefu folk songs and vigorously developing seven-character poems far exceed those of Chen Ziang. His efforts have played a great role in completing the task of poetry innovation. After Li's death, he said in the preface to his collection of poems "Caotang Collection": "Lu Huangmen said:' The legacy of Chen Collection has changed suddenly. Today, the poetic style of the dynasty has been dominated by Liang Chengong, which has changed greatly and swept the floor to the extreme. This is a correct evaluation of his achievements in innovating poetry.
The influence of Li Bai's poems on later generations is also extremely far-reaching. His poems were widely circulated in the contemporary era, and by Zhenyuan period, his unconfirmed poems had been "found in every family". In the middle Tang Dynasty, Han Yu and Meng Jiao praised his poems, and learned from him, forming their own different poetic styles. Li He's romantic poetic style is obviously more inspired by him. Su Shunqin, Wang Ling, Su Shi and Lu You in the Song Dynasty, and Gao Qi, Yang Shen, Huang Jingren and Gong Zizhen in the Ming and Qing Dynasties all drew nutrition from his poems. In addition, the words of the uninhibited school represented by Su Shi and Xin Qiji in the Song Dynasty were also influenced by him. His story and legend of "being friends in the play" were written into traditional Chinese opera novels and circulated among the people, showing the love of people who love freedom.
