( 1084~ 1 145)
He is the most important poetry theorist in the later period of Jiangxi Poetry School. He wrote poems in his early years, taking Huang Tingjian as a model, and created new meanings. However, Huang Tingjian advocated sui generis, and Lu Benzhong understood this, so he tried to create his own new style. After entering the Southern Song Dynasty, the influence of Huang Tingjian's poetic style on Lu's poetry gradually weakened, and it was replaced by a light and mellow new poetic style, such as the Spring Festival Evening in the suburbs.
The willow building is half covered with green, and the sad spring scenery is in the sky. The curtain of depression is raining and the garden is full of flowers. The eaves shadow has flown to the news agency, and the water mark is not as sand as last year. There is no rut on the ground, and the sweeping road is inclined.
Elegant and graceful, it is quite different from Huang's poetry style. At the same time, Lv Benzhong put forward the theory of "living method" in theory: "Learning poetry should be a living method. The so-called living method, the rules are available, the change is unpredictable, and it does not violate the rules. " (See Liu Kezhuang's Complete Works of Mr. Houcun, Volume 95, Preface to Xia Ji) The so-called "living method" is to advocate getting rid of the existing method and gaining its own income, which has no specific style theory content. However, the prevailing poetic law at that time originated from Huang Tingjian's Jiangxi poetic method, which meant a new change within Jiangxi poetic school.
In the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty, he was a figure who changed the atmosphere of poetry, while Chen, Zeng and Zeng were all poets with high creative achievements. Both Chen and Zeng have written some successful patriotic poems, such as Chen's Wounded Spring and A few years ago. Chen, Zeng and Zeng are all closely related to Jiangxi Poetry School.
the past
Although his previous poetic style was different from Huang Tingjian's, he greatly admired Huang and Chen. He once said, "Zong Hua has a back hill, and the sentence is severe. Yu zhang is his teacher and the Ministry of Industry thinks he is his ancestor. " ("Er Chen Jian Li Yun") He also vaguely pretended to be a descendant of Jiangxi Poetry School: "Lao Du's poet is the ancestor, and Fu Weng is the syntactic Cao. As far as origin is concerned, he was sent to Jiangxi. " (Li Shangcuo's "Wang Wenren's quest for fast food, in the name of" nourishing the source "for poetry") People in the Southern Song Dynasty often regarded Zeng as a middleman in Jiangxi poetry school, and Liu Kezhuang thought that "compared with Zen, the ancestor of the valley, Lu and Zeng were also in the north and south." (Preface to Selected Poems of Chashan Chengzhai) Indeed, Lu Benzhong was once a key figure in the transformation of Jiangxi Poetry School, and other poets in the Southern Song Dynasty were influenced by Jiangxi Poetry School, mostly through them.
the Chen Dynasty
Chen's situation is more complicated. Chen admired Huang Tingjian, and was influenced by Huang and Chen's poetic style in his creation. However, his main style and theme orientation are far from Jiangxi Poetry School. Ge Zhongsheng said that in his later years, he "praised his outstanding work, and the gentry scrambled to speak out ... the so-called' new style'." (Preface to Chen Qufei's Poems) When the poetic style of Jiangxi School still enveloped the poetic world, it was called "new style", indicating that its poetic style had broken through the barriers of Huang and Chen. However, some people still regard Chen as Jiangxi Poetry School. Yan Yu said in Canglang Poetry Style that he was "a school in Jiangxi but slightly different", and Fang Hui even described him as a "case" of Jiangxi Poetry School at the end of the Song Dynasty. In fact, in the development of Jiangxi Poetry School, Chen's position was inferior to that of Lu Benzhong, but he was an outstanding poet who had the closest relationship with Jiangxi Poetry School in the early Southern Song Dynasty.
