In the late Tang Dynasty, the social situation took a turn for the worse. Eunuchs monopolized the power and divided the stage, and the Huang Chao Uprising broke out, which eventually led to the collapse of the Tang Dynasty. Faced with this situation, most poets are concerned about the country and the people, and are negative and pessimistic. The object of concern has turned from society to one's own feelings, and reciting the love between men and women has become a common occurrence. On the one hand, they inherited the poetic style of "artificial beauty" carved in the middle Tang Dynasty, on the other hand, they emphasized innocence and significance. According to the style, it can be roughly divided into five categories: the sad and sentimental type represented by Du Mu and Xu Hun, pursuing elegant language and ethereal and elegant sentimental poetry style; Li Shangyin and Wen are the most accomplished poets in the late Tang Dynasty. Their poetic style is profound and colorful, while Wen is a romantic school in the late Tang Dynasty. Seclusion poetry style represented by Si Kongtu and Lu Guimeng; The bitter poetic style represented by Jia Dao and Yao He, Jia is sad and indifferent, and Yao is plain and implicit; Represented by Zheng Gu, Wei Zhuang, Luo Yin, Du Xunhe and Pi Rixiu, Zheng Gu, Wei Zhuang and Pi Rixiu expressed their sorrow in troubled times, while Luo Yin and Du Xunhe complained and mocked (note: hermits are often intertwined with sorrow and resentment in troubled times and cannot be discussed).
Personally, the connotation of the style characteristics of "pathos and gracefulness" in late Tang poetry should mainly include the following aspects:
1, old fun. The content experience is desolate.
2. Sentimental. Sad, hazy, empty.
3. Neat and experienced. Elegant and standardized.
4. Multiplicity and polyphony. A thousand flavors are one.
5. Artistic conception.
6. others.
Poets in the late Tang Dynasty, like those who pursued curiosity in the middle and late Tang Dynasty, greatly enriched and broadened the aesthetic artistic conception of poetry and greatly expanded the expressive force of poetry art. The above is for reference.
