The term "Seven Stars Poetry Society" is explained as follows:
The Seven Stars Poetry Society was an aristocratic poet group during the French Renaissance in the mid-16th century. Its members never exceeded seven. Because it respected B.C. In the third century, the Greek Seven Poem Saints and Alexander style called themselves "Seven Stars". With the poets Ronsa and Di Bailey as the central characters, Bayif, De Tiar, Pelletier, Jodel, Bello and Dora joined successively.
In 1549, Di Bailey wrote an article "Defending and Promoting the French Language", proposing the purpose of the poetry society, which is to unify the French national language and innovate French poetry as its own mission, and advocated the use of borrowing from Greek and Latin Vocabulary, absorption of dialects, creation of new words and other ways to enrich the French language, change its rough and poor situation, and standardize it.
Creative influence
The Seven Stars Poetry Society was influenced by some of Plato’s thoughts (theory of inspiration in poetry), directly inherited the tradition of the Lyon School of Poetry, and opposed the formalism of the Rhetoric School. Emphasize the social significance of poetry and focus on expressing the theme of national patriotism. For the first time in the history of French lyric poetry, they depicted the image of the nature of their motherland and got rid of the imitation of Petrarch in their love poems.
The 1950s was the golden age of Seven Star Poetry Society. During the religious wars from 1562 to 1594, the influence of the Seven Star Poetic Society was significantly weakened, and some members (such as Long Cha) openly attacked Protestantism. The later creations of Seven Star Poetry Society gave birth to certain characteristics of classicism. Classical theorists Malebe and Boileau publicly denied the Seven Stars Poetry Society, but in fact developed some of the ideas of this school. The Seven Star Poetry Society has also influenced foreign countries, such as Edney and Spencer in the UK, and Opitz in Germany.
