Tian Wen in Li Sao

Tian Wen's artistic originality is unique in the history of China's poetry, which is first manifested in the combination of deep rational thinking and passionate emotion. The whole poem Tian Wen is composed of questions, which shows the poet's thoughtful views and questions about nature, history and society. It is full of philosophy, but it is also a passionate literary work, an exciting and touching long poem. Secondly, through the use of a large number of interrogative words and function words and the changes of different sentence patterns, the whole poem is patchy, with illness and deficiency alternating and unique. The intricate changes of sentence patterns and questions, coupled with strong emotional color, constitute the style of the whole poem, which is vivid and distant and has achieved remarkable results.

Tian Wen is a classic poem full of strong rational exploration spirit and profound literary feelings. Mr. Guo Moruo said: "In fact, Tian Wen is an unprecedented first-class strange character." Some scholars say that it reflects Qu Yuan's academic thought and can be said to hit the pulse of Qu Yuan's vigorous rational thought. It can be said that Tian Wen is an artistic representation of Qu Yuan's overall understanding of the universe, nature and human society. At that time, a giant peak of spirit and thought was established. Some scholars have suggested that Tian Wen is a literary work created by Qu Yuan on the basis of mastering the literature of the History of Chu Witches, which can be completely confirmed by its extensive coverage of more than 70 issues of/kloc-0.

Tian Wen is extremely rich in content, asking people questions and expressing the author's views on the universe, life, history and even myths and legends. There are 374 sentences in the whole poem, and 172 questions are put forward (one is 1 16 questions according to different statistical standards). Due to mistakes and omissions, some arts and sciences are not smooth. But on the whole, it is still orderly. Wang Fuzhi once pointed out: "Although there are many things in the article, from heaven and earth to mountains and rivers, to personnel, to the source, and finally to Chu, there is no disorder." (Interpretation of Chu Ci) From the beginning of the article to "Guling Anzang", astronomical events are the main events, mixed with myths related to astronomical events; From I don't want to drown my sorrows with wine to I don't know how to relieve my feathers, I mainly focus on local affairs, including Yu Yu's legend of water control; From "Yu Zhili's contribution" to the end of the article, it is a historical event, the Xia Dynasty is the most detailed, and finally Chu is the main one. The feeling of sharing the worries of the country is still quite obvious, but from the literary point of view, it seems that it has not been completed, and it may be missing. The whole poem shows the author's profound knowledge, profound thoughts and rich imagination, and embodies his spirit of bold doubt and criticism. Among them, celestial bodies and historical legends are mostly ignored by books produced in the northern Central Plains during the Qi, Lu and San Jin Dynasties in the pre-Qin period, which may be due to the old history handed down by Chu, that is, the Three Tombs, Five Classics, Eight Stations and Nine Hills handed down by Zuo. This "Tian Wen" was written by Xiaoyun in Ming Dynasty. This "Tian Wen" was written by Xiaoyun in Ming Dynasty.

Tian Wen is different from other chapters of Chu Ci in language application. There is no word "xi" throughout, and there are no suffix auxiliary words such as "some" and "only". The sentence pattern is dominated by four words, including three, five, six and seven words, which are roughly four sentences and one verse. Each verse has rhyme, and the rhythm and rhyme are naturally coordinated. There are many forms such as one question, two questions, three questions and four questions, and interrogative words such as "he", "Hu", "Yan", "self", "who" and "An" are used alternately, so the questions are vivid but not rigid, with a strong style. Therefore, predecessors commented: "long words, short words, intricacies, duality, repetition of one thing, or integration of several things." His writing style is either steep, clumsy, stubborn or fluent, and his methods are well prepared, which can be described as the abnormal condition of the article. " (Yu Yue's Comments on the Songs of the South quoted Sun□) This constitutes a unique artistic style.

As a series of questions, Tian Wen tends to ask questions to the end, and his style is quite special. But there are many examples in pre-Qin books. Sporadic sentences such as "Zhuangzi's Happy Journey": "The sky is gray, and its positive color is evil? It is far away and omnipotent. " The whole chapter is divided into sections, such as Zhuangzi's "Lucky in Heaven" to "Dare to Ask Why" and Liezi's "Tang asked Yuxia Pavilion". Nearly the whole article, such as Yizhoushu Zhou, from "everything is born" to "the combination of the two, which is better or worse". In addition, the article "Zhuangzi Tianxia" also said: "There are people who lean on others in the south, saying that they are dazzled and asking why heaven and earth don't fall or fall into the wind and rain. Hui Shi left without saying goodbye, but he was not worried about it. He says everything like this. " It can be seen that there have been many articles about Tian Wen's style before and after Qu Yuan. Not only that, but also poems similar to Tian Wen can be found in ancient world masterpieces. For example, the sixth paragraph of the first chapter of India's "Song of Creation in Rigveda" wrote: "Who knows the truth? Who is poor? What do you like? Why are you doing this? Who knows that the wise God followed it and combined it with this nature? How is the implementation? " The Islamic Fire Sutra (Iranian Persian Sutra) says, "Who divided the earth to make it beautiful in the sky so that it would not fall?" Who is born evil, water or plants? Who is in charge of the situation and Zhou Dao obeys it? Alas, Homo sapiens, who inspires my kindness more? The Old Testament Book of Job also said: "Who set the scale of heaven and earth? Who pulled the wire? Where is his foundation? Who planted his signpost? ..... Where does the light come from? Where did the darkness first lie? "Several philosophers of ancient civilizations have raised such questions and recited them in unison, which is quite intriguing. However, as a long philosophical poem, Tian Wen is unique.

After Tian Wen was published, there were many imitations. Fu Xuan in Jin Dynasty has Zhun, Liang Jiangyan has Gu Sui Pian, Yan Zhitui in Northern Qi Dynasty has Returning to the Heart and Interpreting the First, Tang Dynasty has Hun Talented Person, Liu Zongyuan has Tian Dui, Fang Xiaoru in Ming Dynasty has Miscellaneous Questions and 95 Answers, Huang Daozhou has Continued, and there are also in Qing Dynasty. As for writing poems in Tian Wen's style, there are even more.

What is "Tian Wen"? Wang Yi's Chapters and Sentences of Chu Ci said: Why not say "Ask the Heaven"? Heaven can't ask, so it's called' Heaven Ask'. "He also said that Qu Yuan was demoted, worried and sad, traveled all over the mountains and rivers, passed by the Chuwang Temple and the Baiguan Temple, and saw stories of heaven and earth, mountains and rivers, immortals, ancient sages, monsters and ghosts on the wall, so he" prayed for heaven on the wall ". Although this statement has certain historical documents and cultural relics reference, it is not necessarily the real reason why Qu Yuan wrote Nine Questions. In Tian Wen, except asking about heaven and earth, sun and moon, mountains and rivers, ghosts and gods, most of the personnel involved were of practical significance at that time. Therefore, Qu Yuan's questions will not only be based on temple murals. But his subjective choice, which he carefully wrote. From the order of the full text, the historical facts of the last three generations naturally come naturally, ending with the sage and fool of Chu, which clearly shows the author's own ideological motivation and creative intention. Therefore, this piece of Tian Wen, which contains the author's thoughtful crystallization, can't be his impromptu work of "seeking heaven".
