Research On Snow Image In Tang Poems

Tang Dynasty is the golden age of poetry development.Poets have reached an unprecedented height in the use of images and the construction of artistic conception.Snow as a winter spirit,because of its special nature and rich meaning,becomes one of the images that poets often use to sing Lyric.While inhering the characteristics of the snow imagery in the poets of the previous generation,the Tang people continued to develop the aesthetic connotation,emotional connotation,and artistic techniques of snow imagery.The first chapter of the thesis is to sort out the development of snow image in poems before Tang Dynasty.The snow image in the poem first appeared in the book of songs,and it has appeared the artistic characteristics of scene combination,such as the book of Songs·Caiwei.But at this time,the snow image,as the background of emotional expression,has not been independent from the whole poem.Therefore,the Pre-Qin and Han Dynasties is its embryonic stage.In the period of Wei,Jin,southern and Northern Dynasties,the appearance of poems about snow shows that the image of snow has become the main character of poems rather than just the background.Therefore,this period is a new change of snow image in the poem.Secondly,it summarizes the development of snow image in Tang poetry.As for the snow image in Tang Dynasty poetry,because it has different performance in the early,prosperous,middle and late stages,it discusses the development of snow image as a whole according to the time before and after,and makes quantitative statistics on the snow image in poetry to explore the distribution of snow image in Tang Dynasty poetry.This paper discusses the development of snow image in Tang poetry from the second chapter.In the early Tang Dynasty poetry,the snow image presents two different development trends:one is to inherit the former "colorful and competitive" poetry style,and the other is to advocate the frontier fortress poetry "metaphor and contrast" poetry style.In response to the system of poetry,the poet extols the beauty and auspiciousness of snow,with gorgeous words,most of which have the purpose of singing praises and praises;in frontier poems,he writes about the cold snow in the border area,highlighting the firmness of the poet's heart of serving the country and the hardships of war,which is the first step for the development of snow image in Frontier Poems of the prosperous Tang Dynasty.Therefore,the early Tang Dynasty should be a period when the snow image in the poem strives for new changes.In the period of the Prosperous Tang Dynasty,the emotional implication of the poet's snow image shows more images of social changes.In the early period of the Tang Dynasty,with strong national strength and prosperous culture,many poets had the ambition of making achievements.In the poems of this period,the snow images of different regions have their own characteristics:the cold and magnificence of the snow in the frontier fortress,the auspiciousness and confusion of the snow in the Central Plains.All of them express the poet's patriotic enthusiasm.In the late Tang Dynasty,under the influence of the Anshi rebellion,facing the displacement of the people and the social unrest,Du Fu and others expressed their feelings of worrying about the country and the people with the help of the snow image.Therefore,the high Tang Dynasty should be the climax of the development of snow image in poetry.In the middle Tang Dynasty,the development of snow image in the poem is also discussed in two sections in chronological order,namely the Dali Period and the later period of the middle Tang Dynasty.In the transitional period of the Dali period,the snow image in the poem embodies the sadness and loneliness of the Dali poet and the poet's deep feelings for the changes of the times.In addition,in this period,the combination of snow image and other images in poetry made the poet's emotional expression more profound.In the late Middle Tang Dynasty,poets created two different snow images to express two different emotional tendencies,that is,beautiful hope and intense satire.This way of shaping also reveals the innovative spirit of the poets in the middle Tang Dynasty,that is,to introduce and arrange rules,to expand the content of snow image poetry with Fu method,and the words in the poem are novel,the imagination is bold,and the idea is strange.Therefore,the middle Tang Dynasty should be the mature period of snow image developmentIn the late Tang Dynasty,the emotional meaning of snow image is mainly sentimental and sad.On the one hand,the reason is related to the prevailing style of poetry in the middle and late Tang Dynasty,represented by Jia Dao and Yao he,on the other hand,the specific background of the times and the mentality of scholars.As a result,snow image became one of the media for poets in late Tang Dynasty to complain.In this period,the poet's description of the snow image has also developed.He changed the direct description which occupied the main position to the indirect description,which made the expression effect of the snow image more profound.In terms of artistic style,the snow imagery poetry in the late Tang Dynasty is mainly composed of beautiful and sentimental poems.Therefore,the late Tang Dynasty should be a stable period for the development of snow imageThe conclusion part summarizes the development characteristics of snow image before Tang Dynasty and in Tang Dynasty.In the process of Tang Dynasty poets' creation,the snow image gradually developed and matured,and had different characteristics in the early,prosperous,middle and late periods.The Tang people enriched the emotional meaning,expression and cultural connotation of the snow image in their poems,which made the snow image become the "Star" in the poetry image group.
