The Book of Songs is a classic, and people in the Tang Dynasty praised it for its poetry theory and creation, which is a manifestation of Liu's so-called "unique work of the Tang Dynasty" in poetry. This phenomenon is well known to scholars. As far as appreciation is concerned, there is a very special phenomenon in the poetics of past dynasties that deserves our attention: after the Song Dynasty, when scholars appreciate Tang poetry, they often compare it with the Book of Songs to reveal the origin relationship between them.
However, poetry of other times is not common. In the Ming Dynasty, Yang Shen was well versed in Samadhi: "The poems of the Tang Dynasty are mainly based on emotion, which is close to' three hundred'; Poets in Song Dynasty manage poems, but it is a long way to go to achieve 300 poems. Bandits can only write poems, and so can their interpretation. Let's take the love poems of the boudoir in the Tang Dynasty as a cloud:' The willows curl in front of the court and the green is on the mulberry. I forgot to pick the leaves in the cage, but last night I dreamed of fishing in the sun. "That is, the meaning of the poem" Curled Ears "for the first time is:' I can't dream without the river, and people preach that Lang is in the Phoenix Mountain.' That is, the last chapter of the poem means "rolling ears".
Compared with the Song Dynasty, Yang Shen not only revealed the similarities between Tang poetry and The Book of Songs, but also demonstrated the success of Tang people's practice based on the Book of Songs, and pointed out the poetic or artistic interpretation form of "interpreting poetry with poetry". This is another typical case of "poeticization" in the study of the Book of Songs in the Tang Dynasty. Interpreting the Book of Songs with Tang poems provides a feasible way for us to study the Book of Songs in Tang Dynasty.
Extended data:
The process of poetizing the Book of Songs in the Tang Dynasty not only melted into the blood of Tang poetry, but also participated in Tao Zhu's understanding of the meteorology in the prosperous Tang Dynasty:
First, the orthodoxy of Tang poetry. In the Tang Dynasty, the study of The Book of Songs turned from Confucian classics to poetry, and the flourishing face of Confucianism made Tang poetry widely recognized by the society at that time and later generations.
Second, the poet is Confucian. In the Tang Dynasty, from the dichotomy of Confucian classics and literature (Confucius and Li Bai) to the unification of literature and Confucianism (Du Fu and Han Yu), Confucian classics, history and literature were unified in Confucianism, and the scope of Confucianism was further expanded. Scholars and poets often can't have both in the early Tang Dynasty, but gradually changed after the middle and late Tang Dynasty.
Third, bureaucratic poeticization. Poetry is orthodox, and writing poetry is not only a fashion, but also a necessary skill for official career. Poets become the basic symbol of bureaucracy.
Fourth, the classification of poetics. In Tang Dynasty, the category movement centered on elegance, comparison and six meanings is an important way to poeticize the study of The Book of Songs, and it is also the necessity of poeticizing the poetics in Tang Dynasty.
Fifth, poets are grouped. Poetry and Fu selected scholars, and the function of "remnant group" in The Book of Songs was revived in the Tang Dynasty, which inspired the poet's ambition to help others and contributed to the openness and utilitarianism of Tang poetry.
