A Study On The Conversion Of Jiangnan Poets' Thoughts At The End Of Yuan Dynasty

In the ancient history of China,the Yuan Dynasty created the widest territory ever and at the same time the most diverse ethnic composition.The cultural policy of freedom,the integration of various ethnic groups and the rich diversity of cultures promoted the integration of cultures and the exchange of literati in the Yuan dynasty.In the late period,corrupt government rule and frequent natural disasters led to a sharp economic decline,which further led to widespread peasant wars.As the center of prosperous economy and frequent cultural exchanges,Jiangnan region was also the most prominent center of war for many ruling forces.The poet's political choice mainly manifested in three aspects,including loyal to the Yuan dynasty,hermit poets and allegiance to other leaders.The idea of loyalty was regarded as the highest morality of ancient society,and became the strongest ideological restraint of feudal autocrats to officials and people.In turning of Yuan and Ming dynasty,the idea of loyalty were significantly to reflect through loyalty to the poets of the Yuan dynasty,including those of the martyrs,those who did their best and adherents of a former dynasty.The actions of these poets highlight the idea of loyalty to the sovereign and a loyal heart figure to serve the country.In the contradiction between the ideal and the reality,the recluse poet found a compatible point in the contradiction.Choosing seclusion to protect oneself was not only life,but also integrity.The hermit poet's political ideas included cynical thinking,dislike the situation,or loyalty to his country.Whether the poets who were loyal to other leaders were loyal to Yuan or choose a new master is the most contradictory one,which was greatly tested.The political choice is characterized by the change of the ideological style and seeks the stability of the society by "predict destiny".On the whole,the integration and tolerance of diverse cultures in the Yuan dynasty enriched the poetry circle,and the poetry circle at the end of the Yuan Dynasty,they acknowledged the legitimacy of the Yuan Dynasty's rule instead oftreating them as aggressors.The expression of the poet's thoughts is based on the theme of worrying about the country and the people,and helping the world.It has a common national and cultural concept,which reflects the ideological conversion of Jiangnan poets in the late Yuan Dynasty.
