Southern Culture, Poetic Spirit

"The poetic spirit in Jiangnan Culture"topic brought up due to two reasons; first of all, it is the result that the research on Comparative cultures and Regional Culture flourishes in contemporary academe. Secondly, it is the continuation of Chinese Poetic Culture and Jiangnan Culture. Thirdly, it also because of the culture charm of Jiangnan in history and the attraction of its important status in contemporary China. Lastly, in terms of realistic meaning,"The poetic spirit in Jiangnan Culture"topic gives important inspiration to contemporary society which in Urbanization Process,as well as the life style of the people and their spirit attitude.First of all, Jiangnan Culture is classified according to its feature. The main idea in ancient literature"Shi Shuo Xin Yu"and"northern history"is about learning and literary difference between Southern and Northern in Southern and Northern Dynasties, on the one hand, as the representative figures, Modern academician Liang Qichao, Liu Shipei, Wang Guowei draws comparison between Southern and Northern culture, theirs research range extended to entire ancient times, and developed from spatial to all cultural aspects. On the other hand, in terms of the geography environment aspects, the fundamental cause has been explored and studied by them. From two points we can see the contemporary academicians have further researched, The first evidence is that they have explored and figured out what philosophy produced and what inspiration it brings, the aim is to find out the Fundamental differences and its representation between southern and northern culture, that means they have had further discussion about the relationship between Jiangnan culture and Taoism culture. The second evidence is they have explored all kinds of difference between southern and northern by Philosophy of Aesthetics ,they studied the southern culture and Jiangnan as separately subjects, furthermore, they chose Jiangnan culture which is a part of Southern culture as the separately subject, therefore, a new theory has been constructed, its name called"Jiangnan poetic culture". In this article , I have pointed out two errors in above viewpoints: Firstly, Although geography environment influences culture, but the influence power has been over exaggerated, People in the history believe that the geography environment discrepancy causes the difference between Southern and Northern culture, it is the Determinism of Geographical Environment mistake. Secondly, The people in the history believe that the Taoist Culture is the product and representation of Southern culture,even thought that the Southern culture equally to Taoist Culture.After figured out two errors, the foundation of Jiangnan poetic culture which was constructed during its formation in history is getting more and more solid. Objectively, Jiangnan poetic is spread from Central Plains to Southern, In Six Dynasties period and Tang and Song Dynasties, it has been developed further. Subjectively, it is the result that the Literati in history is in deep love with Jiangnan and kept giving positive commons on it, the positive commons they gave is because The reason why they gave positive commons is because of the geography environment ,politics, economic and different development directions of Southern and Northern culture and so on. Besides of above reason, this paper also sets boundary in Jiangnan poetic culture, explains more about the meaning of it, for example, How does Jiangnan culture changed before the Axial Period? Is Jiangnan poetic culture a production of the Axial Period when people suffer from the pain that the battle brings to them? In the meantime it also explained the establishing conditions of Jiangnan poetic culture theory and its important connotation. Later on, this paper takes further step to describe the external manifestations of Jiangnan poetic culture spirit. Thirdly, just as mentioned above, this paper explores more about the core value of Jiangnan poetic spirit from four aspects. The first aspect is the explanation by philosophy, the essence of Jiangnan poetic spirit is the combination of poem and philosophy, therefore we can see the Jiangnan poetic culture has both feature. The second aspect is the explanation of the main body, the core value of Jiangnan poetic culture is the cool life style and the bearing of the people who live in Wei and Jin Dynasties. The core sprit of Jiang Nan poetic culture is the abundant emotion which means cherishes all beautiful things. Although it has such emotion but for sure it will not be disturbed by it. The third aspect is the explanation of the space, Jiangnan poetic space is the combination of material and sprit, it is the product of realism and idea which is the perfect combination, it can create three different poetic levels, and it provides a big inspiration to contemporary urban culture construction. The fourth aspect is the explanation of the poetic ideal life. Jiangnan poetic life presented in the whole life conception of the people, also in their love ideal and the dream of the nature,according to such poetic life style ,this paper provides five"must have"elements. In the conclusion of this paper, I have simply mentioned the three difficult positions that Jiangnan poetic culture in, we do not need feel pity for the fall traditional Jiangnan poetic culture, because the poetic culture formed by the central China culture which spreads to the southern and keep developing later on.At present, Jiangnan absolved Western culture and keep developing, maybe it is not negative thing, after absolving and mixing with the western culture, Jiangnan poetic culture will have a higher status. For sure, we cannot willing to give in to our fate, base on a clear understanding of this situation, we should push ourselves to create a greater new Jiang Nan poetic culture.
