As far as inheritance is concerned, the five-character poem form produced from Yuefu folk songs in Han Dynasty was widely used by Jian 'an poets and developed into the most basic poem form in Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties. The language style of Yuefu folk songs also has a great influence on literati poetry. Moreover, works that adopted Yuefu poems and followed the common themes in Yuefu folk songs accounted for a large proportion of literati poems in this period.
Development course:
As far as development and transformation are concerned, firstly, Yuefu folk songs, as the main body of previous poems, are a kind of social collective creation. They were originally written by some unknown authors, and changed constantly in the process of circulation, rarely showing the author's personality characteristics. In the Jian 'an era, there were few works without names. These works related to the author's name are often closely related to the author's personal special experience, emotion and unique aesthetic hobby. This has promoted the development of poetry in the direction of diversified styles. Secondly, there are many narrative poems in Han Yuefu folk songs, because the works with interesting stories are easily accepted by ordinary people and widely circulated. However, most of Jian 'an literati poems are lyrical, and even if Yuefu poems are used, they are rarely narrated. Thirdly, some characteristics of Ci Fu, once the main body of literati literature, have also been brought into the field of poetry. The most striking feature of Ci Fu is gorgeous language, while Yuefu folk songs have always been unpretentious. Among Jian 'an poets, there are many famous poets who write poems, among which RoyceWong and Cao Zhi are outstanding representatives. Their poems also show a gorgeous tendency. Moreover, in the field of poetry, they also took the lead in using the parallel couple method, which was widely used in earlier ci and fu. These antithetical poems also have traces of deliberate tempering. In a word, Jian 'an literati poetry began to change to exquisite and colorful humanity while being influenced by Yuefu folk songs. This is an important beginning in the development history of China's classical poetry. Cao Pi's saying that "poetry and fu are all beautiful" reflected the universal literary concept at that time. However, although Jian 'an poems tend to be gorgeous, they don't use elegant and abstruse written language too much, nor are they too complicated and extravagant, so that the sentences are relaxed and hinder the expression of emotions. Generally speaking, the language of the work is clear, concise, compact and powerful.
The main writers in Jian 'an period were Sancao and Jian 'an Qizi, both of whom lived in the Northern Wei Dynasty. Three Cao refers to Cao Cao, Cao Pi and Cao Zhi. Cao Cao's poems are characterized by profundity, antiquity, straightness and strong verve. There are more than twenty poems today, all of which are Yuefu. Part describes the war and people's sufferings at the end of the Han Dynasty, such as Hao Lixing, Kuhanxing, and the lack of things. The other part expresses his political opinions, such as short songs, although turtles live long and watch the sea. The poetry critic said, "Wei Wudi is like a secluded swallow with a strong charm".
Cao Pi's poetic style is exquisite, and his Ge Yanxing is the earliest and most complete seven-character poem in existence. The scenery is very delicate and lyrical, and the poem rhymes sentence by sentence, which shows that the seven-character style of this era is not yet mature.
Cao Zhi's poems are generous and lively, with colorful words and a high backbone. His poems are based on Hua Mao, and his representative works include Mingdu, White Horse, White Horse Wang Biao, Beauty, Luoshen Fu, and Noda's Huangque Tour. The poetry critic said, "Cao Zijian is like a teenager in Sanjiang, enjoying himself."
The seven sons of Jian 'an refer to Kong Rong, Chen Lin, RoyceWong, Xu Gan, Ruan Yu, Angelababy and Liu Zhen; Among them, Kong Rong is the oldest, with only seven songs left; RoyceWong's achievements are the highest, and his poems and poems are excellent. Chen Lin and Ruan Yu are good at official documents besides poems. Serina Liu's five-character poems were very famous at that time; Xu gan's love poems are well written; Angelababy's poems are relatively unremarkable.
