The Evolution of China s Style Classification and the Formation of Four Literary Schools;
Generally speaking, from the Han Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty, China's genre division developed gradually and tended to be meticulous. During the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Pi divided them into four categories according to the principle of "similarity but difference at the end", and pointed out their characteristics: "Elegant recitation, rational book theory, realistic inscription and postscript, and beautiful poetry." Lu Ji in the Western Jin Dynasty put forward that "there are many kinds of things, but there is no amount of things", listed ten styles, and summarized their characteristics: "Poetry is beautiful because of emotion. Very vivid, very vivid. Monuments and essays are based on quality. I can't get rid of it, and I'm sad. Ming Bo is a passionate person. Proud and strong. Praise excellent travel and thoughtfulness. Subtle and fluent. Play the flat car gracefully. Say it's embarrassing. "
Liu Xie's "Wen Xin Diao Long" has fifty articles, from the sixth to the twenty-fifth * * *, all of which are about style. In fact, the articles are divided into thirty-three categories: the sixth in Ming Dynasty, the seventh in Yuefu, the eighth in explanation, the ninth in praise, the tenth in Zhu Meng, the eleventh in inscription, the twelfth in recitation, the thirteenth in mourning, the fourteenth in essay and the fourth in essay.
In Selected Poems of Liang Daizhao, ming prince and Xiao Tong, 752 poems are divided into 37 categories: Fu, Poetry, Sao, Odd, Zhao, Shu, Preface, Teaching, Writing, Presentation, Writing, Initiation, Playing, Recording, Writing, Dialogue, Argumentation, Ci, Preface, Ode and Praise. In the Ming Dynasty, Wu Ne divided poetry into fifty-nine categories, while Xu Shizeng divided poetry into one hundred and twenty-seven categories on the basis of the former, among which only poetry was divided into twenty-six categories and fu was divided into four categories, which was more complicated.
After the Qing Dynasty, China's stylistic division began to merge and simplify. For example, Yao Nai, an ancient prose writer of Tongcheng School, once compiled an influential book, which divided the article into 13 categories: argumentative essay, preface and postscript, recitation, book narration, gift preface, imperial edict, biography, epitaph, miscellaneous notes, inscription and postscript, eulogy, ci fu and mourning. Until it was further simplified in modern times, it can be divided into four categories: poetry, novel, prose and drama. The quartering method appeared in the May 4th period, which was formed on the basis of the spread of the western trisection method and combined with the history and present situation of Chinese national literature.
The quartering method was first seen in 19 19 Fu Sinian's article How to Make a Vernacular Style: "Prose has no high status in literature, unlike novels, poems and plays. But daily use should be done all year round "[4]. Later, Zhu Ziqing, Lu Xun, Hu Shi and many others followed this division. By 1935- 1936, the multi-volume China New Literature Series, edited by Zhao Jiabi of Shanghai Liangyou Company, published poems, novels, essays and plays in separate volumes, and four departments were established.
The classification of China's ancient literary styles is complicated, lacking in generalization and biased, and novels and operas that have been greatly developed have been excluded for a long time. But it also has its own characteristics and advantages: first, it recognizes the status of prose; Secondly, it grasps the characteristics of some styles, especially the discussion style, more carefully and subtly.
