What new changes have taken place in the development of classical poetry to the Song Dynasty?

Song poetry is developed on the basis of Tang poetry, but it has its own characteristics. Song poetry is mentioned in the history of literature, sometimes as the abbreviation of Song poetry, and sometimes it refers to a certain poetic style as opposed to Tang poetry. Poetry in Song Dynasty can be divided into six different periods. Although its achievements are not as good as those of Tang poetry, it still has great influence on later generations and occupies an important position in the history of China literature.

Succession cycle

During the seventy or eighty years from the founding of the Northern Song Dynasty to Zhao Zai, Song poetry basically followed the style of the Tang Dynasty. As far as genre is concerned, Quincy style, which is characterized by carving beautiful sentences and using allusions, has the greatest influence. 165438+In the early 1920s and 1930s, it dominated the poetry circles.

Retrospective period

Young writers such as Zhao, Ouyang Xiu, Mei and so on, while opposing parallel prose and advocating ancient prose, jointly opposed Yang Yi's poetic style of one-sided pursuit of close-body harmony, inherited Wang Yucheng's spirit of paying attention to reality in the early Song Dynasty, and advocated the creation of a large number of classical poems that reflected the tradition of the national economy and people's livelihood, in order to cooperate with the political reform movement at that time. The unique discussion culture and prose culture of Song Dynasty were also formed at this time.

Innovation period

165438+In the second half of the 20th century, Wang Anshi and Su Shi successively dominated the poetry world, and the creation of Song poetry reached its first peak. There are many differences between Wang and Su in their political opinions and poetic opinions, but their tireless spirit of innovation and personal style are in the same strain.

Solidification period

Huang Tingjian's poems have the so-called methods of "turning stone into gold" and "thoroughly remoulding oneself", aiming at "bringing forth the old and bringing forth the new" without losing the pioneering spirit in the Song Dynasty. Later followers took this as stereotyped writing, forming the Jiangxi Poetry School, which had a great influence in the Song Dynasty. Song poetry once again embarked on a formalistic road of imitating predecessors and only tossing about in writing skills and phonology.

Zhongxing period

In the early Southern Song Dynasty, resistance to the enemy and the Northern Expedition became the major themes of poets' performance, and a large number of patriotic poems emerged, making Song poetry a model that surpassed the previous generation and had a great influence on later generations, which was the main contribution of this period. Zhongxing poets, represented by Lu You, got rid of the shackles of Jiangxi poetry school and established their own style.

Drift period

In the late Southern Song Dynasty, there were no more important poets. "Yongjia Siling" and "Jianghu Poetry School", who were active in the poetry circle successively, were poets such as Jia Dao and Yao He who followed the old road of the late Tang Dynasty in the early Song Dynasty, and wrote some fresh and readable works. However, on the whole, the Song Dynasty was as turbulent and deteriorating as the political situation at that time. It was not until the end of the Song Dynasty that Wen Tianxiang and other patriots became famous for their songs of justice that condensed blood and tears, and the Song poetry finally shone brilliantly in generate.
