The Influence of Bao Zhao's Yuefu Poems on the Poets in Tang Dynasty

As an outstanding poet with multiple personalities in the Southern Dynasties, Bao Zhao's elegant and free-spirited Yuefu poems had a very strong influence on Li Bai's open and bold style, and his creative tendency of showing compassion for others and caring for people's livelihood also profoundly influenced Du Fu's gloomy and frustrated aesthetic tendency. From the case analysis of Bao Zhao's influence on Li and Du, we can see how the poet's different mental outlook was selectively inherited and developed by artists of different times and personalities. At the same time, we can also find the continuous blood relationship between the poems of the Southern Dynasties and the poems of the Tang Dynasty.

Bao Zhao is an outstanding poet in the literary world of the Northern and Southern Dynasties. Although he was a "gifted scholar" at that time (Zhong Rong's poems), his achievements in the history of literature have always been respected by later generations. The inscription on Bao Ji in Zhang Pu's One Hundred and Three Collected Poems of the Han, Wei and Six Dynasties says: "Poetry is absolutely unique, Yuefu is five words, and Li Du is also." In the Qing Dynasty, He Chao's "Secretary of Reading Yimen" has 47 clouds: "Poetry is far away but not exposed, and Li, Du Fu, Han and Bai have all appeared since then." It can be seen that Bao Zhao's poems had a great influence on Li Bai, Du Fu and other Tang poets. This paper intends to make some concrete discussions on Bao Zhao's influence on Li Bai and Du Fu's poems.

First, Bao Zhao's influence on Li Bai.

Critics have always believed that Li Bai's poems and songs were deeply influenced by Bao Zhao. For example, Zhu said: "Bao Ming is far-sighted and brilliant, and his poems are variations on Selected Works, which are specially designed." (Zhuzi Folklore, Volume 140, Paper Writing) Accurately speaking, Li Bai was most influenced by Bao Zhao's Yuefu poems. As we all know, Bao Zhao is good at writing Yuefu folk songs. Shen Yue's Book of Songs, Volume 51, Biography of Linchuan Wang Daogui and Biography of Bao Zhao, says: "Being far away from home, his words are freehand. It tastes like ancient Yuefu, and its writing is beautiful. " Bao Zhao's Yuefu poems are unique in the poetry circles of the Six Dynasties, because they are "leisurely" and "elegant". In the history of China literature, the first poet who wrote a large number of seven-character poems was Bao Zhao. His eighteen poems "Quasi-Difficult Travel" not only laid the foundation of seven-character and seven-character miscellaneous poems in content and theme, but also created a sentence pattern beginning with "I don't see you". This group of poems rhymes from sentence by sentence to alternate rhymes, and rhymes are freely changed several times in a poem. This kind of syntax, complicated syllables, alternating rhythms and ups and downs show a bold style, novel and powerful. This poetic style is more convenient to express thoughts and feelings, which directly promoted the development of singing in the Tang Dynasty.
