The Creative Situation of Yongming Style

The representative writers of "Yongming Style" have always been considered as Shen Yue, Xie Tiao and Wang Rong. Shen Yue has the largest number of poems, and his theoretical exposition represents the idea of "eternal poetic style", but his actual creative achievements are not as good as Xie Tiao's. Xie Tiao inherited Cao Zhi's poetic style and was good at opening with epigrams. In the description of scenery and lyricism, he integrated the advantages of Xie Lingyun and Bao Zhao, thus avoiding the important and neglecting the important. There are more than 130 five-character poems written by Xie Tiao, among which new-style poems account for about one third. These poems have the rudiment of five-character poems, but they rhyme. The rhythm of sentences and texts is still uncertain. Although there is still some confusion in the rhythm of his poems, we can also see that they have gradually made some achievements. Among the poets in Yongming style, Shen Yue was very famous at that time, and his poetic achievements were also outstanding. Zhong Rong's Poems summarized Shen Yue's poetic style with "understanding". This feature is mainly manifested in his landscape poems and farewell poems. Yongming poet, not only has theory, but also has a lot of poetry creation. "Biography of the Southern Qi Lu Jue" said: "At the end of the Ming Dynasty, Chen Diao and Lang Rong used Qi to push Yi, and you were brave and good at rhyme. All essays use Gong Shang and Si Phonetic Rhyme, which cannot be increased or decreased. The world calls it' Yongming style'. "

Compared with contemporary Schell and others, Shen Yue's landscape poems are not many, but they are also fresh, but they often reveal a sad and sentimental mood. Such as "Deng Xuanchang Building" poem:

The dangerous peak is in the north and the top is in the south. There are tombs and pavilions, looking back at Chuanyin. Every time the shore insurance increases and decreases, the rapids are flat and shallow. There are three schools of water. There is a stranger in the world, guest anxious to return. The falling light reflects the long pu, and the candle shines around the scene. Clouds are dark when they rise and half cloudy when the sun goes down. Believe that beauty is not my soil, why not smoke?

The description of the scenery is fresh and natural, especially the capture and description of the changes of the scenery, which makes the realm of poetry have a dynamic trend. The poet compares the lonely image of "a stranger" with the scene he saw when climbing the mountain, thus integrating the scene in front of him with "returning to the heart".

Shen Yue's farewell poems also have the characteristics of "clearing grievances", such as leaving Ancheng, which is praised by later generations:

Life is a teenager's day, and it's easy to break up. When you are with me, you will die, not when you are apart. Don't say a bottle of wine, it will be difficult to get it tomorrow. If you don't know the way in your dream, how can you comfort Acacia?

Comparing the differences between youth and old age now contains profound and rich sentimental feelings; The last two sentences use the allusions of Sharla Cheung and Gao Hui in the Warring States Period (see Selected Works and Han Feizi quoted by Shan Li), which adds a gloomy parting color. The language of the whole poem is simple and plain, but the emotional expression is sincere, deep and euphemistic, and it is unique in artistic skills. Shen Deqian commented on this poem: "A piece of true qi flows out, and every sentence turns, and every word is vigorous. It is not far from the' Nineteen Poems'. " Xie Tiao is a representative poet of Yongming Style. He is not only the most outstanding poet among the Eight Friends of Jingling, but also the most outstanding poet in the Qi and Liang Dynasties. Although he was born in a famous family, he often expressed the worries of officials and the anguish of life in his poems because of his ups and downs in the political whirlpool and witnessed the sinister career and the darkness of reality. For example, "I temporarily sent a new forest to Beijing at night to give it to my colleagues in Xifu":

The river flows day and night, and the guest is sad. It's a long way to go, Xiu Yuan. The autumn river is gloomy, and the cold night is gloomy. The faucet looks at the Jing room, and the palace pheasant is opposite. Kimberly magpie, jade rope low chapter. Driving outside the gate, I thought of Zhao Qiuyang. Chi Hui can't connect, let alone be separated by two townships. There are birds in the wind and smoke, and Jianghan has no beams. I am often afraid of falcon attacks, and the chrysanthemum Committee is severely frosted. Those rumors are already in the air.

At that time, Xie Tiao was attached to Wang Fu literature in Jingzhou, which won the appreciation of Xiao Zilong. But because of being slandered, he was recalled to Beijing. This poem was written on the way from Jingzhou to Jingyi Jianye. The first sentence is magnificent and full of emotion, which is a swan song. A long passage from Apprentice to Jianghan in the middle combines scenery, narration and lyricism, which not only expresses the attachment to Xifu, but also highlights its sad mood. The last four sentences convey the feelings of fear and indignation profoundly and elegantly. Xie Tiao was deeply touched by the turbulent situation at that time: "The Cangjiang River is misty and the horse house is leisurely. Luo Jing is dusty and foggy, and there is no peace in Huaiji. I don't want to stroke the sword, but I don't have a boat. " ("Hejiang City defends Beilang Xiecheng") This is quite close to Cao Zhishi's generosity.

Xie Tiao's most outstanding contribution is the development of landscape poetry and the exploration of new poetry style. In terms of landscape poems, he inherited the meticulous and fresh features of Xie Lingyun's landscape poems, but it was different from Xie Lingyun's objective description of landscape scenery. But through the description of landscape scenery to express their emotional interest, to the point of scene blending. Thus, it avoids the disadvantages of obscurity, flatness and scene separation in the big thank-you poem, and at the same time gets rid of metaphysical elements, forming a fresh and beautiful style. For example, his masterpiece "Going to Three Mountains in the Night and Looking Back to Beijing":

Now I can overlook Chang 'an City from Baling Mountain, and look back at the capital like looking back at Luoyang, climbing three mountains in Heyang. The sun sets on the towering roof, and the houses in Beijing are not so high and low. The evening sun is scattered into a beautiful scene, and Chengjiang is as quiet as practice. Noisy birds cover Chunzhou, and miscellaneous English is full of Fangdian. I will stay in the country far from the capital, and I miss the happy party that has stopped. When it's time for Danggui, I'm disappointed and tears fall like snow beads. People with feelings know that they are homesick. Who can't change their black hair?

Poets use natural and fluent language to weave the endless and beautiful natural landscape into a bright, harmonious and perfect picture, so that readers can feel the colors, sounds and breath of spring. This beautiful scenery is naturally integrated with the poet's homesickness, which is profound and implicit and has a strong artistic appeal. Li Bai praised in the poem "Singing under the Moon on the West Tower of Jinling City": "I have been thinking about the moon for a long time, and I have been looking forward to it since ancient times. I remember Xie Xuanhui a long time ago. "This shows that it is touching.

Xie Tiao once said that "the beauty of a good poem flows like a projectile" (Biography of Southern History Wang Tanshou and Wang Yun), and his poetry creation embodies this aesthetic concept. To achieve a "round and beautiful cycle", the freshness and fluency of language and the loudness and smoothness of phonology are very important factors. Xie Tiao is an active participant in "Yongming Style". He applied the four-tone Yongming Law to his poetry creation, making the tone of poetry fluent and harmonious, catchy and sonorous. Such as its "You Dongtian":

We share joys and sorrows and enjoy happiness hand in hand. Looking for the cloud-tired pavilion, looking at the mushroom pavilion with the mountain. The distant trees warm the building, and the smoke is boundless. Fish play with new lotus, birds scatter flowers and fall. If you don't smell spring wine, you still look forward to Qingshan Guo.

Like Xie Lingyun, Xie Tiao is also a master at cutting epigrams. His epigrams are neat, harmonious, smooth, fresh and meaningful, which embodies the characteristics of "new style poetry" In the poem quoted above, it is mentioned that "the sunset is scattered into beautiful scenery, and Chengjiang is as quiet as practice"; "The river flows day and night, and the guests are sad"; "You know the boat in the sky, and you can tell the river trees in the clouds" are all aphorisms, and "The north wind blows rain, and the river comes up depressed" ("Look at the rain"); "When the cold city looks down, Taiping Chu is just pale" ("Looking at Xuancheng County"); "Looking at the cold mountain in the green and overlooking the flat land in the majestic" ("Winter Night County Wuxia"); "Snow reflects the green hills, and cold fog opens the sky. See you in the warm river village and stay in the sea tree "("History of Gaozhai Poetry "); "The window is far away from the cave, and the court overlooks Qiao Lin. Birds are scattered in the sun, and solitary apes are singing in the mountains ("Looking at the grass in the high village in the county"). They are all like simple ink paintings, elegant and leisurely, with a lot of thoughts. No wonder Zhong Rong said, "Strange chapters and wonderful sentences often serve as a warning to the world. It is enough to make Uncle Yuan and Mingyuan out of tune. " ("Poetry" Volume)

Xie Tiao is a representative poet of Yongming style. He was not only famous at that time, but also had a far-reaching influence on the prosperity of Tang poetry later. Even great poets such as Li Bai and Du Fu were fooled. Li Bai spoke highly of Xie Tiao in the poem "Singing the Moon at the West Tower of Jinling". In addition, he also said, "The bones of great writers are all your brushes. In Tianyuan, I grew up beside you as Xiao Xie." (Uncle Lou Yunshu in Xie Tiao, Xuanzhou) "I sing Xie Tiao's poems, and the north wind blows the rain. There are no green mountains and empty skies in Xie Tiao, and there is Yin Gong later. " ("Reward Yin Mingzuo with Five Clouds and One Qiu Ge") Du Fu also said: "Courtesy plus Xu Ruzi, poetry meets Xie Xuancheng." ("Accompany Pei Shijun to the Yueyang Tower") "Every article by Xie Tiao can be ridiculed, and Feng Tang has been listening." (A Brief History of Cen) These not only show Xie Tiao's far-reaching influence on poets in the Tang Dynasty, but also show his important position in the history of China's poetry. Another Wang Rong who actively participated in the creation of "Yongming Style" is also a brilliant poet. Zhong Rong said that he was "brilliant, with beautiful and pure words" (Poetry). "Biography of the Southern Qi Dynasty" also said: "You Shancang is a pawn. If you have something to do, your pen can be used." The main features of Wang Rong's poems are subtle and charming artistic conception, delicate and fresh scenery, gorgeous and simple language, which to some extent shows a style similar to that of Xie Tiao. For example, his "Lin": tourists should look forward to it and climb the high platform. The well lotus vomits in summer, and the autumn window opens. Flowers fly low, birds come far. Including * * * in the month, I also saw YunDongYing.

The scenery is fresh and delicate, and the words are fresh and delicate, showing a graceful and restrained charm.

Among the Southern Dynasties writers, such as Fan Yun, Jiang Yan, He Xun, Wu Yun, Yin Keng, etc. They are all deeply influenced by "Yongming Style", among which He Xun in Liang Dynasty and Yin Keng in Chen Dynasty have made outstanding achievements in poetry. He Xun was famous for his poems at that time and won the admiration of Shen Yue, Xiao Yi and others. He Xun's poems are good at writing scenery and expressing feelings in plain language, with beautiful words and quiet artistic conception, which is close to Xie Tiao in style. Among them, the most expressive and best-written works are those that reward and hurt others. Such as "farewell":

The guest misses for a hundred years, but walking alone weighs a thousand miles. It rained black in the river, and the waves and Whitestorm began to rise.

The cold boundless background, with a sad face, reflects the lonely and wandering lyric hero image. In particular, the word "underground river" captures the change of scenery very delicately. He Xun is especially good at vivid images. His description of natural scenery is delicate, interesting and vivid. At the same time, the language is fresh, clean and wonderful, with special emphasis on the meticulous pronunciation and the refinement of words, which is a further development of "Yongming Style", so many of his poems have the scale of regular poems in the Tang Dynasty. Such as "Mother Loki":

The evening smoke rises from the far shore and the setting sun is safe. Enjoy the evening wholeheartedly and temporarily relieve the worries of going to the countryside. The wild shore is flat and sandy, and the mountains are far and foggy. The guest felt sorry for himself. He wanted to go back to the boat on the river.

Not only the realm is clear, the antithesis is neat, the rhyme is harmonious, and it is quite charming to read. The combination of "the wild shore is flat and the sand is near, and the mountains are far and foggy" has almost reached the meteorology of Tang poetry. This poem meets the requirements of the five laws except the first and last sound. As for his poems, they are often praised by later generations, such as "The grass is exposed in the cold pond, and the bright moon reflects the clear Huai" ("Farewell to Hu Xing 'an at night"); "The grass glows in the sky and the shadow floats in the water" ("Parking in Early Spring and Looking at the Water at Sunset in Liu Xun"); Thin Yunyan comes out, and the wave is at the top at the beginning of the month "("Go to Cisse to show my colleagues in Fu Nan "); "Clouds can be seen under the water, and distant trees can be seen on the horizon" (Xiao Fa); Fish swim in the water, flowers fly lightly "("Give Wang Zuocheng ") and so on, all of which are beautiful and ingenious sentences to write about the scenery. Among the 10,000 Tang Poems written by Hong Mai, a Song Dynasty poet, He Xun's "in my heart forever" and other 14 five-character poems are mistaken for the income of Tang poetry, which shows that He Xun's poems are like modern poems.

He Xun's beneficial exploration in the artistic forms and techniques of poetry not only further developed the "eternal style" and promoted the maturity of regular poetry, but also made him unique in lyricism, artistic conception creation and artistic style, and became an outstanding poet at the time of Qi and Liang Dynasties.
