First, the modern significance, poetry, especially Tang and Song poetry, is a kind of works with the highest aesthetic value in the text encoded with Chinese characters. Ai Qing, a new poet, said that poetry is literature in literature.
We can imitate Ai Qing's words. Poems in Tang and Song Dynasties are poems among poems. Concise and beautiful, it fully shows the aesthetic potential of Chinese characters. Reading more Tang and Song poems is a powerful promotion to our writing and our language and writing ability.
In the second modern sense, poetry expresses people's basic feelings, basic outlook on life and basic values. First of all, we must understand what Tang and Song poems are about. China's classical poetry has one of the oldest programs, which is what Confucianism calls "expressing ambition through poetry", which is mentioned in Historical Records Yao Dian. During the Western Jin Dynasty, Lu Ji put forward the theory that "poetry must love" in prose.
Some people think that "expressing ambition" is biased towards serious and aboveboard themes, while "destiny" is biased towards expressing personalized and personalized emotions, and the two are in opposition. But I think, from the perspective of Tang and Song poetry, "expressing ambition" and "expressing emotion" are not antagonistic. Emotion and ambition are the same thing in the eyes of Tang and Song people.
The Origin of Song Ci
Qu Zi's ci originated from the folk, and vulgarity is its natural tendency. With the rediscovery of a large number of "Qu Zi Ci" in Dunhuang Grottoes, the view that Ci originated from folk literature has been widely recognized. Quzi Ci, which occurred and formed in Sui and Tang Dynasties, was originally sung with a brand-new music "Yanle".
In the Tang dynasty, a large number of western music flowed in, which was called the "Hubu". Jiegu Lu contains 13 1 songs, nearly half of which are exotic songs. After using the tone of lyrics, many of them can be judged as foreign music according to the tone name, such as "Full Moon Sanskrit" was originally Indian music, "Su Mu Man" was originally Qiuci music, and so on.
