Nineteen Ancient Poems was written by literati in Han Dynasty and selected by Xiao Tong in Southern Dynasty. Traditionally, this 19 poem is based on the first sentence, which is: Go, go again, grass beside the Qingqing River, cypress on the Qingqing Mausoleum, a good feast today, tall buildings in the northwest, hibiscus picking on the river, bright moon and bright night, solitary bamboo in Ran Ran, exotic trees in the courtyard, morning glory all the way, and return to the car to talk.
And the following 19 poem: Dongcheng is tall and long, driving eastbound, leaving on a short day, born less than 100 years old, chilly in spring, coming from afar, bright moon.
Nineteen Ancient Poems is a remarkable symbol of the humanization of Yuefu ancient poems, which profoundly reproduces the disillusionment and depravity pursued by literati during the great social and ideological transformation in the late Han Dynasty, the awakening and pain of the soul, and expresses the most basic and universal feelings and thoughts in life.
The language of the whole poem is simple and natural, the description is vivid and true, and it has a natural artistic style, which is called "the crown of five words" by Liu Xie. Five-character ancient poetry is a new poetic style formed in Han and Wei Dynasties. It has no certain meter, unlimited length, flat and free rhyme, but the sentence pattern of five words per sentence is fixed.
Because it is not only different from Yuefu songs in Han Dynasty, but also different from the nearly physical poems and quatrains in Tang Dynasty, it is called five-character ancient poems. Although the five-character ancient poems in the Tang Dynasty originated from the Han and Wei Dynasties, they never followed suit, showing their own characteristics and distinctive characteristics of the times.
Although the five-character ancient poems in the Tang Dynasty originated from the Han and Wei Dynasties, they never followed suit, showing their own characteristics and distinctive characteristics of the times. In the early Tang Dynasty, Chen Ziang and Zhang Jiuling tried their best to pursue the style of Jian 'an, and showed their own style through their own experiences, which opened a generation of poetic styles with thoughts, individuality and artistic characteristics.
After that, Li Bai and Du Fu flourished, or expressed their spirits and hoped for irony; Or when things happen, when you are worried about your country and hurt it; Wang Wei, Meng Haoran, etc. They participated in it in an elegant and graceful style, and their poems in the prosperous Tang Dynasty shone with dazzling brilliance. In the middle Tang Dynasty, famous artists such as Wei and Liu Zongyuan appeared again, and they all inspired future generations with their own characters.
