Sing Jiaxing poems and songs
Poetry occupies a prominent position in China literature and Jiaxing literature. Jiaxing was located at the turn of wuyue in the Spring and Autumn Period and was under the jurisdiction of Chu in the Warring States Period. Wu Ge, Yuege and Sao Sheng have been spread among the people and have had a far-reaching influence on the literati. Before the Tang dynasty, due to the long history, there was a lack of records in this regard; Since the Tang Dynasty, excellent works have been handed down from generation to generation. Especially after the middle and late Ming Dynasty, the seeds of capitalism began to appear in Jiahe Plain and its adjacent areas. Economic development, cultural prosperity and poets' poems are like forests, which laid the foundation of "one country's culture". Today, there are nearly 4,000 Jiaxing poets from past dynasties to Qing Dynasty except Haining City (because Haining belonged to Guotong County at that time) in the Collection of Poems by Shen and Hu Changji in Jiaxing Library. During the Qianlong period, Shen Deqian compiled Poems of the Qing Dynasty, and collected more than 900 poets from the early Qing Dynasty to the Qianlong period, including more than 50 Jiaxing poets. The Chronicle of Poetry in Qing Dynasty, edited by Mr. Qian Zhonglian, collected more than 6,000 poets in the whole Qing Dynasty, including more than 350 Jiaxing poets, most of whom had poems handed down from generation to generation. These figures fully illustrate the important position of Jiaxing poetry in Qing Dynasty. Among them, Zhu Yizun, Cha, Qian Zai, Wang County, Huang Xieqing, Shen and Wang Guowei are all poets with national influence, and they have had an important influence in the history of China literature. Xiushui Poetry School, composed of Jiaxing-born poets, is one of several poetry schools with far-reaching influence and huge scale in Qing Dynasty. Looking at the content and art of poetry, it has distinctive features and great achievements, which is worthy of recognition. Modern Jiaxing poetry is characterized by anti-imperialism and anti-feudalism. After the May 4th Movement, the poet devoted himself to the innovation of poetry and made a transition from classical poetry to new poetry. Among them, Xu Zhimo's new poetry practice has the function of connecting the past with the future. After liberation, poetry creation went to the masses, ancient poetry was full of youth, new poetry became more common, and a new generation of poets thrived.
