The Poetic Of Chinese Poetry, Later Korea

Making a comprehensive survey on the classical poetry of late Korea, it is well acknowledged that the Korea poetry had twists and turns in the progress. To begin with, based on inheriting the essence of imitating Song Dynasty, the tendency deflected towards Tang-Dynasty imitation for the sake of the influence cast by Neo-Confucianism, rhetoric and ancient literature ideological trend of Ming Dynasty. The poets were devastated by two-folds(societal hardships and wars) due to the particular historical environment- the eruption of Ren Chen Wei Guo battle. Therefore, there was a reinforced resonance between those poets and the noble poet Du Fu who cared for the fate of his nation and his realism poems, giving rise to a prevalence of Tang-Dynasty imitation.Scholar-bureaucrats in Korea delved into the works of Du Fu and other poets and tremendously worshiped the poetry of Tang Dynasty by setting it as criteria for all poems. However, the Tang-Dynasty imitation could not advance at an equal pace with poems of the Tang Dynasty owing to the different regions, discrepancy of societal environmental cultures and diversified characteristics of poets. After the emergence of the Northern School, critics gradually realized the deficiencies of Tang-Dynasty imitation and passionately explored a development path catering to the poems of Korea, meanwhile, making references to the merits of the poems of Song Dynasty and highly reviewing Su Shi, Huang Ting Jian, Lu You and Chen Yu Yi.The spirits in poems of Tang and Song Dynasty, although beyond the comprehension of later generations, must be well maintained; instead of strictly abiding by the doctrines, poets were supposed to inherit the corresponding essences and incorporated them into their own creation by compromising the characteristics and emotional features of the political atmosphere, societal environment and poets themselves of Korea. The poems of late Korea fundamentally walked along the path of referring to but not concentrating on learning poems of Tang Dynasty and formed their own creation pattern “Spontaneous Theory” in the long term of effective exploration.It is concluded that the development of the Korea poems, subordinating Chinese poetics, is enormously affected by Chinese Poetics and poets. But after all, it has its own features.
