What enlightenment does Confucius' theory of appreciating scenery and complaining about the masses and Hesla's theory of entertaining with education have on literature and art?
This is Confucius in The Analects of Confucius? Yang Huo "put forward the social function of literary works" and "Yang Huo" recorded: "Confucius said: How did Zi learn poetry? Poetry can be appreciated, observed, grouped and resented. Your father is far away, and you know the names of birds, animals and plants better. "Xing refers to the artistic image of poetry, which can stimulate people's spiritual excitement and make people enjoy a kind of beauty from poetry appreciation; View means that poetry truly reflects social politics and moral fashion, so people can observe the gains and losses of politics and the rise and fall of customs; Group B thinks that poetry can make people exchange feelings and strengthen unity. Resentment means that literary works have the function of interfering with reality and criticizing society. Confucius' theory of "complaining about enjoying the scenery" had a very important influence on later realistic literary criticism theory and realistic literary creation, but it could not be said that it was the source of realistic theory. "Appreciating the scenery and complaining" are all poems, not poems. Because the purpose is application, Confucius' poems are often taken out of context, used as topics, and even used as language materials, and the object of interpretation is often irrelevant to the original intention of the poem. This opened a precedent for later scholars to misinterpret poetry at will. It should be said that it is of great value in the history of China's literary theory, but it should not be artificially exaggerated.
