In the early Tang Dynasty, poetry entered a golden age of rapid development. Although the poets in the early Tang Dynasty inherited the style of Qi and Liang Dynasties, they expanded the theme of poetry and made a more in-depth and detailed exploration of poetic artistic skills such as rhyme and duality. First of all, Du, Li Qiao, Su Weidao and Cui Rong, the "four friends of the article", are keen on the research and practice of poetry art, and their five-character poems have reached a high artistic level. Subsequently, Shen Quanqi and Song Rizhen were perfected, which finally contributed to the finalization of the five-character and seven-character metrical poems, and the poetic art gradually matured and the metrical poems were formally formed.
Shen Quanqi, a native of Xiangzhou, is one of the famous poets in Anyang history. In the second year of Shangyuan, Emperor Gaozong was a scholar. From Xie Lvlang to Xie Gongyuan Wailang. Go back to the middle. Zhongzong ascended the throne and was banished to Zhangzhou for flattering Zhang Yizhi. Later, he was called to teach Huolang, and he added a bachelor's degree in school to serve in the banquet palace. Song Wenzhi, whose name is Yanqing, was born in Fenzhou (now Fenyang, Shanxi). In the second year of Shangyuan, he was also a scholar. Li Luozhou joined the army, and made sacrifices to Zuo. He was demoted to Longzhou to join the army because he flattered the Zhang Yizhi brothers. Called as the main book of crack hon, later transferred to foreign minister, and flatter Princess Taiping. Taking bribes when paying tribute belittles the history of the governor. Zong Rui acceded to the throne, migrated to Qinzhou, and died.
Song Shen's life experiences have many similarities. In the same year, the two men were admitted to Jinshi and entered the cabinet one after another. Because of his outstanding talent, he became Wu Zetian's personal adviser and was particularly favored by attendants. Later, they were all exiled to Lingnan for flattering Zhang Yizhi. The period of serving Wu Zetian was the most glorious period of their lives. Because of Wu Zetian's elegant and elegant literary movements, Shen Song skillfully thought of Mandarin and was deeply favored. On one occasion, the marquis of Wu was at Youlong Gate in Luoyang, and ordered his ministers to write poems. Zuo Shi's "Oriental Autumn" is quick-witted and contributes a lot. After reading it, Wuhou praised it and gave him a brocade robe. Later, Song wrote the poem "The English Branch of Longmen", saying that "both arts and sciences are beautiful, and the left and right are called good", so the marquis of Wu gave him the oriental autumn brocade robe. Shen and Song's works are generally bounded by relegation, and their contents and styles are quite different. Before relegation, as court poets, they participated in all court banquets, royal tours and singing activities in court salons, and most of the creative contents in this period were mainly to serve and respond. Due to the limitation of court life, the status of pavilions, their flashy personality and passion for wealth, many of their early poems are works that praise merit, whitewash peace and glitz. However, with the ups and downs of life, their official career has also experienced ups and downs, which has enabled them to get in touch with society, experience life, have a deeper understanding of life, and begin to create some good works, and their poems have more sincere feelings.
Shen Song's main contribution to poetry is the stereotype of metrical poetry. On the basis of the eternal style represented by Shen Yue and Xie Tiao, Song Shen developed from emphasizing the four tones to only distinguishing flat tones, and summarized the changing law of flat tones in poetry. From emphasizing the coordination of syllables in one sentence to attaching pairs in the whole flat tone, the middle couplet must be subordinate to the upper and lower sentences, thus forming a complete metrical poem. Song Shen made the Five Laws more precise and completely stereotyped, such as Shen Quanqi's The First Meal System in Xiange, Sleeping in Qipanling, Lin Zhi Temple Meal System in Song Dynasty and Deer Soul Villa. Although most of these metrical poems are poor in content, their words are exquisite and rigorous, and gradually formed a fixed adherence rule, which has great influence and made contributions to the establishment and development of modern poetry.
Shen Quanqi's masterpiece is "The Old Meaning Shows Clever Intention": "Yu Jintang, a young woman from the Lujia family, and the swallow perches on the tortoise-shell beam. Hearing the cold beat of the washing mallet shake the leaves, Liaoyang expedition will go for ten years. "In a euphemistic and touching style, the poet described the lonely and sad situation of Chang 'an young woman who missed the garrison for ten years, was far away from home, tossed and turned, and could not sleep for a long time. It was euphemistic and touching, and her thoughts were myriad.
Song Wenzhi's enthusiasm for fame and fortune in his early years plunged him into the political whirlpool of power struggle within the ruling group, which eventually led to his tragedy. After Song was demoted, he was deeply touched by his personal experience of political turmoil and humiliation, and he came to a fresh and beautiful water town from the decadent court, which also purified his mind and sublimated his realm. Song relegated poems are full of sound and emotion, full of artistic appeal.
"Ji, Jiang Chu rosy clouds. But if I go back to Japan, I dare not hate Changsha. This poem expresses the author's sadness about the countryside and yearning for homesickness. When he climbed Dayuling, he stopped and looked in the direction of his hometown, and he didn't feel lost at all. The whole poem is lyrical, sentimental and touching.
