Xie Zhen's Poetry Creation Practice And Poetic Theory

Xie Zhen is a poet who pays equal attention to creation and theory in the poetry circle of Ming Dynasty.He roved all life as a civilian,visited the Mufu Palace for long years,made profit from the poem and maintained the family life.Xie Zhen's poetry creation and poetic theory are both Emulate Sheng Tang,and his relatively high ideological and artistic poetry creation is mainly reflected in four aspects:one is to express the poet's pain of wandering and soul struggle through the tough journey;the second is to express the poet's worry about the country and the people in the concern and sympathy for the Ming Dynasty's frontier defense and people's livelihood;the third is to show his sincerity to the poet friends and strong desire to get psychological comfort from friendship in the aspect of friendship and nostalgia;fourthly,his meditation poem fully embodies the poet's mental journey of seeking for relief and transcendence in the hesitation of commitment and release,self-esteem and begging.On the basis of deep learning Sheng Tang,Xie Zhen's poetic art pursues an upsurge of intentions and the naturalism,meanings follow the words,and prosperity and situation are blended.Xie Zhen's poetic theory is the refinement and theoretical sublimation of his creative experience in the galloping poetry for more than 60 years and his familiarity with the deep learning Sheng Tang.His poetry creation is basically the perceptual practice of his poetics theory,and his poetic theory has also deepened and strengthened his professional poetry practice to a certain extent,and the two are related and coordinated with each other.His emphasis on the form of language and good practice in his poetic creation have basically confirmed his poetic theory of emphasizing the tempering of words and sentences,relying on epigrams,and four key points and three levels.He advocates nourishing and cultivating virtue,and his heroic personality and gentleman's feelings of worrying about the country and the people in his poetry also make his poetry creation sad and sorrowful as in the prosperous Tang poetry.Xie Zhen's creation of Sheng Tang and his self-made creative practice also produced many poems that violated his praise of Sheng Tang.The contradiction between innovation and imitation,the contradiction between natural beauty and too much carving,and the contradiction between the teaching of the Tang Dynasty and the lack of prosperity in the Tang Dynasty hinder the improvement of Xie Zhen's poetic artistic achievements.
