? Pre-Qin literature, as its name implies, is the literary style of the pre-Qin period. These include fairy tales known to women and children, pre-Qin prose with rich meanings and ups and downs of emotions, which originated from China's realistic and romantic The Book of Songs and Songs of the South. The Book of Songs is fascinating, and the songs in the south are fresh and exotic. Appreciating the pre-Qin literature, a wonderful flower in the cultural lotus pond, we will be deeply impressed by its long-standing artistry and profound ideological content. As the origin of Chinese culture and an important leap of Chinese civilization, its originality in thought, comprehensiveness in language, practicality in value and randomness in artistic features are deeply integrated into the ups and downs and uninhibited of its poems.
Literature always reflects or resists the reality, so does the literature in the pre-Qin period. The casting of its artistic characteristics and rhetorical charm has a heavy realistic cornerstone. The social reality of social unrest, political turmoil, raging fires, and separatist regimes provided a relatively relaxed environment for artistic creation and re-creation. The rapid development of productive forces, the application of ironware and Niu Geng, and the emergence of the mining field system contributed to the emergence of the leisure class in society. They "put down their hoes and pick up their pens" and devote themselves to understanding and reflecting on reality. At the same time, with the gradual disintegration of Tian Zi's status as the "master of the world", the cultural system of "learning to be excellent and becoming an official" was gradually replaced by "Tian Zi lost his official position", and the social and cultural atmosphere became increasingly strong. The foreign policy of "hiring North Korea" needs intellectuals with unique creativity and novel thinking. Literature is a special aesthetic culture, which influences and promotes each other with other cultural activities. At the same time, the development of literature is based on social development, which provides power for the change of literary form, while material production also restricts spiritual production, artistic production and literary production. "Only when there is a first-class robe can there be a first-class true poem." Therefore, the writer's individual factors cannot be underestimated in the formation of literary characteristics. The political environment in the period of great powers' hegemony, the collapse of rites and bad music, and social transformation gave birth to the political ambition of "not trying to be thin on horses" in the pre-Qin period, while "there are always thousands of horses, but bole is not always there". As a result, some literature has become the catharsis of talents, some have become the cry of saving the world, some have become the frustration of people, and some have become the stage for teaching Taoism and Buddhism.
? Confucius said, "Without words, it is not far." The real value of art lies in its correspondence with real life. Historicity and reality are always two important weights of literature, and artistic value can only be reflected in the process of serving morality and society. Pre-Qin literature is not only a mirror reflecting the pre-Qin society, but also has a great influence on the present with its strong penetrating power in the fields of art and thought. Literature also has generality and individuality. Universality comes from following tradition, while individuality comes from the author's creativity. Only universality can win readers' understanding, and only individuality can show the author's artistic achievements. The universality of pre-Qin literature lies in its practicality, so that literature will not be shelved and hidden in people's eyes and ears, while its personality lies in its originality, its randomness, its extremely high artistic expression and the supply of aesthetic value. Therefore, the pre-Qin literature gives people not domineering and unattainable deterrence, but a strange, distant, profound, ancient, hearty and incisive temperament and affinity effect. The charm of art lies not in waiting through the autumn rain, but in the feeling at your fingertips. Being able to be perceived and moved by more people is the value orientation and destination of art, and it is also the true embodiment of artistic success. Pre-Qin literature is a literature that people talk about, a literature with far-reaching influence, a well-known literature and a successful literature! The success of pre-Qin literature also lies in the indifference of the subject of artistic creation. Everyone can become an artist regardless of class, origin and background, and the origin of the most vivid fairy tales is the most powerful evidence.
When we appreciate and learn an art, it seems too simple and superficial to interpret it from the perspective of a critic and a bystander. When we appreciate and study the pre-Qin literature, we should learn the ideological and cultural essence from its artistic characteristics, so as to know our creation and life. In the case of relative ignorance of productivity and people's cognitive level, fairy tales and essays in pre-Qin Dynasty are undoubtedly an incomplete, unscientific and immature reflection and record of nature from the perspective of self-cognitive psychology, and a "compilation" of psychological comfort for all unexplained phenomena we know, but their status and role in society at that time are enormous. It is because of these stories that people can get rid of the shadow of panic.
It has become a powerful binding force, cohesion and appeal on the moral level, which makes people "do good with one heart" and "dare not cross the line" under the premise of fear of punishment. This is the social power of literature. In our contemporary society, the unique imagination and randomness of fairy tales and essays in pre-Qin literature should become an important bargaining chip for the development of our free literature. "Jingwei Reclaiming the Sea", "Kuafu Day by Day" and "Dayu Harnessing the Water" ... are magical ancient myths. In the process of being literate and historical, their national spirit, virtue and perseverance should become the essence of our literary thought. As the first collection of poems in China, The Book of Songs interprets the connotation of style, elegance, vulgarity and praise with the expression of fu, bi and xing, and is good at its life, interest, diversity, authenticity and agility. "The ancient emperor ordered history to collect ballads to observe folk customs." We felt the sadness of love and the simplicity of folk customs from every word in The Book of Songs. This unique realistic beauty and emphasis on the value of returning to human nature are of great significance to contemporary literature research and social and historical analysis. "Qing Zi lingers in my heart", "Give me papaya, and I'll reward Joan" ... and "Songs of Chu", which is a combination of writing Chu language, pronouncing Chu sounds, collecting Chu places and promoting Chu objects, has opened up a new realm of China people's aesthetic life. It tells the cry of an era in a super harsh, brilliant and free tone. There is concern for society here, "I take a long breath to cover up my tears and mourn the hardships of people's lives"; There is a kind of insistence on the ideal, "My heart is also good, although I have not regretted my narrow escape"; There is a search for life, "The road is long and Xiu Yuan is awkward, and I will go up and down for it"; There is a love for the motherland, "birds fly back to their hometown, and foxes die first"; There is also a firm ambition and determination, "You can't change your mind and become vulgar, so you will be miserable and poor in the end" ... Whether it is pre-Qin poetry or The Book of Songs and Songs of the South, both in form and connotation have an important impact on our creation and life. What we want to appreciate literature is not to smell it, but to internalize it into our spirit and strength. Pre-Qin literature contains rich humanistic and moral thoughts and plays an irreplaceable role in our life, pursuit, communication and thinking. Drawing spiritual strength from traditional culture is for inheritance and development. Good literature and good ideas should not be lost in a dark room, but should be reflected in bright sunlight, illuminating more people and affecting more hearts.
? The ideology, artistry and historicity of pre-Qin literature play an indispensable role in real life and also play a guiding role in the creation of our modern literature. Let us realize the hardships of the people in the pre-Qin period. Because I cherish my present life, I am prepared for danger in times of peace. Therefore, the pre-Qin literature not only has important literary value, but also has enlightening significance to real life. ?
