This paper takes the political lyricism-themed literary works in Song,Yuan and Ming Dynasties as the research object,and adopts the method of mutual proof of literature and history,comparative study and induction.The innovation point of this paper is to examine the relationship and influence between politics and saucy in an all-round way,from the background of the times,the ruler’s policy,the writer’s thought,the content of the work and the thoughts and feelings expressed in it.The thesis is divided into an introduction,five chapters in the main body,and three parts in the remainder.The first chapter analyzes and discusses the characteristics of political lyricism in the literary works of Sao style from an overall perspective,and defines the type of political lyric Sao style,which is defined as: the political lyricism related to the state system,policy,governance of state affairs,social The rise and fall of ruling chaos,as well as the political events of the monarch and the people,the monarch,the government of officials,and diplomatic relations are the themes and backgrounds,and the works mainly express the tendentious emotions generated by the creators based on their own subjective value judgments,with emphasis on aesthetic values.The different political environments and ruling policies of successive dynasties are also closely related to the changes in Sao style literature.The literati experienced various social changes,and these events touched their hearts and reflected them in the articles they wrote in the most intuitive way.The mentality,content and themes of their creators were all dipped in the feudal society.Different styles presented in each period.Among them,the political environments of Song,Yuan,and Ming dynasties have their own characteristics,and all have a certain number of Sao body born,which is very representative and is the research content of the second to fifth chapters of this paper.First of all,in order to strengthen the centralization of power and weaken the local power,the Song Dynasty implemented a policy of advocating culture and suppressing martial arts.On the one hand,the political model of "imperial power-scholar-officials" was established,and the imperial examination system was further improved,enabling a large number of literati from all walks of life to enter the imperial court,greatly enhancing their enthusiasm for political participation and social responsibility;It will lead to the trend of party struggle in the court and the political phenomenon of poverty and weakness,surrounded by foreign enemies.The literati of Song Dynasty closely integrated their own destiny with national politics,but were unable to change the status quo,so it was inevitable that they would have a bitter and unwilling mood like Qu Yuan’s.They interpret Chu Ci,create Sao style,and embody such contradictions and frustrations.However,unlike Qu Yuan,most of the literati in the Song Dynasty were influenced by Neo-Confucianism,and their way of thinking was more rational and peaceful.Within a certain range of etiquette,without deviating from the classics and complaining too much,the political lyrical works of this period showed a combination of rationality and sensibility.The Yuan Dynasty was a regime established by the Mongolian and Yuan minority rulers to replace the Han people,which itself had a great impact on the minds of the Han literati.Because the Yuan Dynasty always practiced the strategy of ethnic discrimination and oppression,it also made it difficult for the literati to gain a sense of identity and participation,so their political emotions were more focused on their personal destiny.In the political and lyrical literary works of the Yuan Dynasty,they were less concerned about the future and destiny of the country,and more inclined to express their remembrance for the motherland,or the sigh caused by the lack of talent and untimely birth.The Ming Dynasty was also a representative dynasty.Its highly centralized political system and strict ideological control in the early stage resulted in the weakening of central control and the prevalence of psychology in the middle and late Ming Dynasty.The literati were trembling under the political pressure in the early stage.In the political aspect,there were many works that praised the virtues and obeyed the edicts.In the later stage,the country gradually declined.There were strong enemies outside and peasant uprisings inside.Eunuchs and ministers ran rampant in the court,and party disputes continued;in terms of ideology,Xinxue advocated the liberation of individuality,boldly expressed inner feelings,and heretical ideas flourished in society.In the middle and late Ming Dynasty,the Sao-style works that expressed political emotions contained the fighting passion and desperate fighting spirit contained in the original Sao-style,reflecting the publicity of individuality and the liberation of human nature.The fifth chapter summarizes and sublimates the content of the previous article,and points out the status and value of political lyrical works.The political lyric function of literature is the combination of utilitarian and non-utilitarian.Sao,as a literary work created to express grief and resentment due to the author’s political frustration,naturally combines the two types of politics and lyricism.factors combined.The generation,development and evolution of Sao Style are inseparable from the constraints of changing factors in the political background of different periods,and at the same time,it has gained long-term vitality under the continuous interpretation and creation of later generations.
