Lu Ji's theory of "Wen Fu" is a literary criticism theory put forward by Lu Ji for literary style, which means that poetry is written because of emotional excitement and emphasizes the overall beauty of poetry. During the Wei and Jin Dynasties, with the comprehensive awakening of human consciousness and the vigorous publicity of personality, "human awakening" brought "literary consciousness".
Lu Ji finally boldly denied the idealistic tendency of China people and Confucianism about the concept of poetry, and put forward "poetic sentiment" for the first time, making it a literary knowledge. In Wen Fu, Lu Ji not only put forward this pioneering viewpoint, but also standardized the emotions to be reflected in poetry, requiring that it must be true feelings. He said that "true looks are not bad, so every change is in the face", that is, feelings should be true feelings.
Meaning:
This kind of poetic sentiment comes down in one continuous line with the theory of "ode to sentiment" in Preface to Poetry, which abandons the Confucian role of poetry in politics and religion and only emphasizes the aesthetic characteristics of poetry. Emphasize that poetry comes from inner feelings and pursue the beautiful and moving role of poetry. This is the expression of literary independence. This proposition is of great significance to create a generation of ethos, so that the lyric of poetry is not bound by "ceremony"
Background introduction:
Poetry originated from ancient social life, which is a rhythmic and emotional language form due to labor production, sex and primitive religion. So from the origin, it should be "poetic love". However, due to the influence of social utility or the pursuit of metrical factors, many poems gradually deviate from the essence of poetry.
Explain in detail:
During the Wei and Jin Dynasties, with the overall awakening of human consciousness and the vigorous publicity of personality, "human awakening" brought "literary consciousness", and Lu Ji finally boldly denied the idealistic tendency of China people and Confucianism about poetry, and put forward "poetic sentiment" for the first time, which became a literary world. This has had a great impact on the Confucian orthodox literary view, which has always been based on "expressing ambition" and "beauty"
