Li Sao is Qu Yuan's masterpiece and a magnificent political lyric poem. He has high attainments and originality in art.
Style. Its artistic features and achievements mainly include the following aspects:
(A) to create a distinctive personality of literary creation
Before the appearance of Chu Ci, China's poems were basically written by groups. Generally speaking, their contents are relatively simple and their sentences are similar.
The space is also relatively short, especially because it is created by the masses, so there is still a lack of works that fully reflect the poet's character. He Qifang in "Qu"
Yuan and his works once commented: "There are also many beautiful and moving works in The Book of Songs, so we can't say that.
The works do not shine with the author's personality, but, like Qu Yuan, he achieved his life in his works with his own ideals, experiences, pains and enthusiasm.
No one's work has been branded with unusual personality. "After Qu Yuan appeared, it appeared in the history of China literature.
The names of great poets have been given, and poems reflecting all the thoughts, feelings and personalities of poets have appeared. Qu Yuan's Sculpture of Lisao
Created a pure and tall lyric hero image, through this personalized poem, we saw a patriotism.
Passion, a solemn and great poet image with lofty political ideals and sober personality.
(B) Romantic creative style
Li Sao is a positive and romantic work. It absorbed and developed the oral creation of the ancients-ancient myths.
Positive romantic spirit. Romanticism, as a creative method, does not describe reality truthfully, but
It is more the author's passion caused by the stimulation of social reality, and the author's strong pursuit and resistance to the ideal.
The rebellious spirit of reality. Qu Yuan's masterpiece Li Sao has such remarkable characteristics. The first half of Li Sao,
The focus is on the poet's description of his own experiences and encounters, but Wet is not completely written, but his own life.
The experiences and feelings in life are sublimated into irreconcilable struggles between good and evil, beauty and ugliness, light and darkness, and the metaphor is novel.
The exaggerated description shows the sublimity of good and beauty, the meanness of evil and ugliness, and the irreconcilability of light and darkness, thus
Show the whole picture of an era, inspire people's understanding, give people the right love and hate, and inspire people. In the second half of the year
Part of it is that the poet wrote his own profound inner world in the form of fantasy and fictional artistic conception. Use the world in poetry
The repetition of description, hope and disappointment gives vent to the poet's depression and shows the darkness and ice that moistens the surrounding environment.
Cold, showing indomitable spirit. In this part, the poet especially drew rich images from myths and legends.
The imagination of the wild and unconstrained style organizes them together, forming a steady stream of vivid plots and beautiful pictures. In the poet's pen, sunrise and
(Sun God), Wang Shu (Moon God), Fei Lian (Fengbo), Red Dragon (Schleswig), Phoenix and Dragonfly are all freely controlled by him; Samantabhadra
Gu, Xianchi, Tianjin and Zhou are all places he has been, and his imagination is bold and rich, which is rare in ancient and modern times. It is particularly noteworthy that.
More importantly, when using these ancient myths and legends, the poet was not bound by the original stories, but put the original gods in through some free imagination.
The knot is written as a new plot, which belongs to a new theme and becomes a part of the poet's overall artistic conception of expressing his thoughts and feelings.
This expression undoubtedly makes fantasy more free. For example, in the last paragraph of the poem, he wrote that he was driving the phoenix emperor and the birds, and the horses and chariots were flying; while
Over the Kunlun Mountains, over quicksand, pointing to the four seas, suddenly stopped in Chu, and could not bear to leave, pushing the whole poem to a climax and effectively revealing the water.
It shows the patriotic thought and sentiment of the poet. This kind of artistic effect, if you don't use myth, transform the mythical material.
The idea is difficult to realize.
(3) The development of the metaphor technique in The Book of Songs.
The main features of China's ancient poems in artistic conception and expression are the so-called "touching things and expressing feelings" and "seeking things and expressing feelings".
To sum up, it is to borrow things to express feelings. This technique and feature was discovered by predecessors when they studied the Book of Songs, and it can be summarized as "Bixing".
Xing ". Qu Yuan made an important development in this regard. First of all, it began to integrate things with me, to integrate feelings and scenes, and to expand them.
Artistic conception and expressive force of poetry. Therefore, the metaphor in Qu Yuan's works is no longer simply comparing something with something, or touching something to get excited.
But more is to combine some characteristics of things with people's thoughts, feelings, personalities and ideals, and make things symbolic.
Meaning, let love have more specific attachment and sustenance. Judging from the image itself, the contrast and harmony in Li Sao are fictitious, and indeed they are.
Imagination, but in terms of the content, thoughts and feelings expressed, is completely realistic. This opened the "feeling in the landscape" of later generations.
The expression of "expressing one's will by supporting things" has a great influence on China's ancient literature, especially poetry creation.
(D) Poetry form and language
The form of Lisao absorbs and draws lessons from the folk songs of southern Chu, but it does absorb the new style that was booming at that time.
The writing style breaks the four-character pattern of The Book of Songs, lengthens the poem and expands the structure, which not only increases the content, but also enhances the ideographic meaning.
The current strength. It uses a large number of spoken dialects to enter poetry, and the most common word "Xi" is folk poetry at that time, especially Chu people.
Spoken language, which often appears in songs, not only enhances the lyrical atmosphere of chanting in poetry, but also greatly enhances the sense of rhythm and voice of poetry.
