The International Influence of China's Ancient Poetry

China's poetry literally means China's poetry. But this concept is mainly used outside the Chinese world. Some neighboring countries of China, such as Korea, Japan and Vietnam, are naturally deeply influenced by Chinese poetry because they use Chinese characters as written language. With the spread of Zen in these countries, China's poetry has become the most important form of Zen literature. In Japan, from Nara era, influenced by China culture, scholars began to create Japanese poems in the form of China's poems. The most obvious difference between Japanese Chinese poetry and Japanese native songs and haiku is that a Chinese poem has four (quatrains) or eight (metrical poems), each sentence usually has five or seven words, while songs and haiku have five, seven, five, seven, five, seven, seven and other long and short sentences, which are more like Chinese words.

In 75 1 year, the earliest Chinese poem "Huaifengzao" in Japan came out. After the peak of Heian period, Ling, Ji and Ji appeared constantly, and their popularity was called "the dark period of national wind". Since then, Japanese Chinese poetry in Kamakura and Muromachi times has been continuously developed. For example, Crazy Party contains a large number of Chinese poems written by a Hugh Zongchun. The development of China's poetry reached its peak in the Edo period. During the Meiji Restoration, almost everyone who was educated in Japan could write good or bad Chinese poems. After the Meiji Restoration, the influence of Japanese Chinese poetry began to decline, especially in the Showa period. However, today's ancient prose education above junior high school still includes the recitation, interpretation and creation of Chinese poems and languages. It is the most developed area of China's poetry culture outside China. During the Korean dynasty, Chinese poetry gradually became popular in South Korea. Korean poets such as Cui Chong (985- 1068), Li Kuibao (1169-1241,No.Baiyun Jushi) and Zheng (? -1398) and so on have a large number of China's poems handed down from generation to generation. In addition, Korean literati recorded ancient Korean folk songs in Chinese characters, forming a new form of poetry, which was later called "Biequ Style", also known as "Gyeonggi Style Song", and generally adopted the format of 334. For example, the famous Korean folk song Arirang, or the ancient opening song Call of the TV series Dae Jang Geum.

From the mid-Koryo dynasty, the tunes with Korean characteristics developed and reached the peak in Lee's Korean period. Shidiao is a slang folk song in North Korea. However, because it was compiled and recorded by China poets, and many Poems were created by China poets, the Poems naturally incorporated the factors of China's poems in the development process. The poet (1566- 1628) said in the Preface to Poems of Wandering Weng: China's songs are elegant and can be recorded and circulated, but the so-called China's songs can only be used to entertain guests and can't enrich my book. When Viet Nam was a county in China, Chinese characters were used as the official language. During the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period in China, Viet Nam became independent from the Southern Han Dynasty, but official proclamations and imperial examinations were still written in Chinese, and general works were also written in Chinese. Therefore, China's poetry, as an important form of China culture, has also developed in Vietnam. At the end of Chen Dynasty, China's famous poetry writers were Tang, Hu Jimao and others. In the post-Li era, especially in the period of Li Shengzong (Ming Hao and Cheng Si), China's poetry reached its peak.
