Literature of the Northern Dynasties refers to the literature of the Northern Dynasties in China in the 5th and 6th centuries. The literature of the Southern and Northern Dynasties played a connecting role in history, which prepared the conditions for the prosperity of Tang poetry. As far as the literature of the Northern Dynasties is concerned, although writers and works are not as rich as those of the Southern Dynasties, they also have a certain historical position.
People who have always studied the history of literature generally have a low evaluation of the literature of the Southern and Northern Dynasties. This may be influenced by Han Yu and Bai Juyi in Tang Dynasty. Because Han Yu advocated prose, he naturally held a negative attitude towards the popular parallel prose in the Southern and Northern Dynasties. Bai Juyi emphasized that "when articles are written, songs and poems are written in things" ("Nine Books with the Same Origin")
Of course, I don't agree that most of the poems in the Northern and Southern Dynasties are mainly based on "making gardens with snow". Although the views of these two writers are progressive, their arguments are inevitably extreme. It can be divided into three different periods: from the Northern Wei Dynasty to the end of the Daowu Emperor, from Yan to the Central Plains, to Hong (Tuoba Hong changed his surname to Yuan because of Chinese culture).
Is the first period, until the throne (47 1 year); The second period was from Justin's accession to the throne to the succession of the Northern Wei regime, which was divided into the Eastern Wei Dynasty and the Western Wei Dynasty (534). The third period was from the confrontation between the Eastern Wei Dynasty and the Western Wei Dynasty to the destruction of the Northern Qi Dynasty in the Northern Zhou Dynasty. Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty represented the independence of the Zhou Dynasty and Chen unified China.
