Critical Features of Bai Juyi's Poetry Theory
Bai Juyi's satirical poems practice his thoughts in the preface to the new Yuefu, which has distinctive artistic characteristics. First of all, most of his satirical poems chant one thing, with concentrated themes and highly typical character events, such as Selling Charcoal Weng, which tells the story directly, with complete narrative and tortuous plot. Secondly, it has its own characteristics in the combination of narrative discussion. Most of the poems are about the death of Zhang Xianzhi, which is the discussion at the end of the article. There are several types: first, poets directly discuss and vent their feelings, such as the red carpet; The second is to compare their rich life with the poverty of the people, such as "watching the harvested wheat" and "living in the village" to express their remorse and guilt; The third is to compare the hunger and cold of the people with extravagant desires such as "buying flowers" and "being light and fat". Thirdly, in addition to giving directly, we also use fables to hold things.
