The Historical Position of Huajian Ci

Huajian Collection is the earliest anthology (or anthology) compiled by Zhao Chongzuo in the Five Dynasties and Three Years (94 1), which contains 500 works by Wen et al. 18 people in the late Tang Dynasty, with a total of ten volumes * * *. The age of the work is about a hundred years, from the first year of Tang Kaicheng (836) to the third year of Zheng Guang, with Ouyang Jiong as the preface. Among them, Wen Tingjun received the most, including * * * sixty-six, Sun Guangxian * * * sixty-one, Gu Xun * * * fifty-five, Wei Zhuang * * * forty-seven, and Lu Qian and Yin E at least six. Zhao Chongzuo, the editor, doesn't have any songs himself, and Ouyang Jiong, the sequencer, has only 17 songs. [1] This also shows that the candidate's attitude is objective and not selfish.

Heart. The selected authors are not limited to Houshu. For example, although Sun Guangxian was a native of Shu, he was an official under Gao Jixing of Jingzhou (now Yichang, Hubei) for a long time (926-963). He was not in Chengdu at the time of Hua Jian Ji, but his ci was selected as many as 6 1 head, second only to Wen. Some of these words, such as "kapok", "Cantonese bird", "bronze drum" and "Mange", all praise the southern scenery. It can be seen that the source of the editor's material is not limited to Chengdu, but also related to other literati at that time. Therefore, we should not regard "China" as an anthology of writers in a certain place, but rather as a collection of lyric poems that appeared on behalf of China during the 100 years from 1930s to 1940s. It is not unreasonable for the poets in the Northern Song Dynasty to regard the Collection of Flowers as an authentic work and call this book a "statement of nature".

The rise of any literature is the result of various conditions. The appearance of Huajian Ci can not be separated from the influence of many factors such as specific times and regions. In the 14th year of Tianbao, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty (755), an-Shi Rebellion occurred, which severely damaged the rule of the Tang Dynasty. After the mid-Tang Dynasty, the decay of politics and society made it more difficult for Qu Zhi, a scholar, to stretch, and he was burdened with heavy mental shackles. In the face of declining times, people not only have worries in nothingness, but also relax after getting rid of all imprisonment. Social culture avoids the rigid literature that glows and heats in King Kong, and instead needs to iron out the comfort of people, so that people can seek nourishment and balance from the state of anxiety and hunger. As a result, soft literature with recreation, weakness and daily trivialization came into being. In addition, with the economic development of southern cities since the mid-Tang Dynasty, the citizen class has gradually expanded, and the consciousness of pursuing worldly pleasures has rapidly expanded, which has become a huge cultural trend. The prosperity of Qu Zi's Ci caters to this trend, that is, as Ouyang Jiong said in "Picking Inflorescences": "Holding the fingers of the delicate jade and patting the sandalwood." No words are clear and unique, and they are used to help femininity. "The vast number of literati indulge in body and mind, instinctively start to sing shallow feelings and gentle love, and convey graceful and delicate hearts through gentle and lovely words. As Li Zehou said: "Because of the yearning for political achievements, the prosperous Tang Dynasty has a broad vision and great momentum; "In the mid-Tang Dynasty, the seclusion was bleak, and in the late Tang Dynasty, the interest of daily life turned to Ci. This is not a mysterious fate, but the result of the variation and development of the social era. " (The Course of Beauty) Bashu regional culture provides a powerful external impetus for the development of Huajian Ci. The superior natural conditions of "Land of Abundance" enrich the life of Shu people, and they have developed the habit of indulging in pleasure, paying attention to aesthetic intuition and whimsy. In addition, due to the exposure of its temperament, Sichuan literature has the characteristics of skill, decoration and dazzling talent. At the same time, because they are less bound by Confucian norms, Shu people have a more passionate and romantic personality, and they have formed their excellent psychological characteristics by doing more business since ancient times. All these personality characteristics have a great influence on the development track of Bashu culture. Because of this, they can focus and highlight in Huajian Ci, a spiritual artistic life. In the Tang Dynasty, "Shu is the capital of the southwest, the treasure house of the country, and the treasures of the world gather here." (Book of Old Tang Dynasty 1900) The closed terrain features made it avoid the catastrophe in the Central Plains since the Anshi Rebellion. However, the Shu people's inherent concept of separatism and self-sufficiency lured them to rely on the wealth of Sanchuan, indulge in luxury and debauchery. On the occasion of the late Tang Dynasty, many scribes were here to avoid chaos. They know that the pleasure in front of them will not last long, so they cherish the happiness in this world more and more, indulge in debauchery more and more, and show the infatuation like Selma and Louise. The beautiful and charming fine print they brought in also catered to the appreciation taste of the western Shu monarch and ministers, so the flower words such as "carving jade and carving beauty" and "cutting flowers and leaves" became popular. Since the mid-Tang Dynasty, love consciousness has begun to show a vigorous development trend. In the late Tang Dynasty, Li Shangyin and others imitated sincere boudoir feelings and captured delicate artistic conception, which represented the highest achievement of love poems in the Tang Dynasty. However, with the development of modern poetry, the "weakness" in romance has gradually emerged. Its stable and unified institutional form is difficult to match the inner ups and downs; The gentle and honest poetic teaching norm of "love ends with propriety and righteousness" also restricts the natural expression of romantic thought. However, once this new emotional artistic conception and aesthetic taste rise, we must find a literary carrier, which can avoid the criticism and formal constraints of poetry teaching and convey the inner melody more freely. In this regard, Wen has made great achievements. He used long and short sentences, a fresh and energetic literary form, to break the neat and single pattern of modern poetry, with the characteristics of dexterity, changeability and harmonious melody, conforming to the emotional ripples in people's hearts and becoming the most "pleasing" literary form to express the light emotional world in that era. The organic combination of the flourishing Yan music and highly mature modern poetry in Sui and Tang Dynasties endowed it with unique artistic quality in form and inner charm. First of all, it makes the production of lyrics based on music score, and the lyrics are determined by music, thus forming the norms of many institutional models and having unique melody beauty. Secondly, the creation of lyrics, combined with the songs of Okoyi and Li Xiang, must have distinct adaptability; Because it is sung by a beautiful geisha, it naturally tends to be romantic. Thirdly, the words with uneven length and ups and downs in rhyme form a subtle fit with the inner emotional rhythm of the viewer, and receive the expression effect of expressing feelings with sound. Compared with all forms of ci style in the previous generation, ci style presents a more flexible optimization trend, and further promotes the generation of new artistic charm and aesthetic realm.
