A Study Of Chen Pu’s Poetry From The Perspective Of Neo-Confucianism

The song dynasty is the generation of "peak of culture ",during which the thought and the literature produce the intense collision,the neo-Confucianism influence to the poetry is particularly significant one hand.Since its birth in the northern song dynasty,neoConfucianism has gone through "Lian,Luo,Guan and Min" and finally became the mainstream of the ideological circle in the song dynasty.At the same time,the poetry circles of the two Song dynasties also found a new way outside the poetry of the Tang dynasty,and completed the construction of argumentation and rationalization.In this process,neo-Confucianism acted directly on the poet’s thoughts,penetrated into the content,poetic art,style and law of poetry creation,and produced a variety of influence s.As the direct disciple of Zhu xi,Chen pu’s poetry creation and neo-Confucianism formed a close relationship between the inside and outside of each other.From the perspective of neo-Confucianism,it is the best way to probed into the core of his poetry thought and grasped the mean by which he forge his art.As far as the core is concerned,Chen pu’s neo-Confucianism thoughts in poetry are mainly embodied in three forms: poems chanting epic,poems chanting classical text and poems chanting self-personality.Under the guidance of Confucian thinking,the poem on history evaluated all the figures from Yao and Shun to Zhu xi,emphasized the orthodox concept in the rule of the sky,criticized the heresy represented by Tao and Buddha,considered the success and loss according to the doctrine of destiny,and maintained the ethics of "righteousness ".Starting from the relationship between "merit" and "virtue",the author advocates the moral order of "first virtue,then merit" and criticizes literature.At the same time,the author examines the history from a full dimensional perspective,and often reverses the focus of the issue.The poem on classical text,"the sound of the poem by the sutras",focus on the concepts of "mind","virtue","benevolence",and so on,expound the Confucian sutras and meanings such as "university","doctrine of the mean","Mencius","analects" and " The book of odes of Mao" in the form of seven words and sentences,and enumerate the neo-Confucianism thoughts of Cheng Zhu.The poetry reciting one’s own personality embodies the poet’s neo-Confucianism personality from three aspects: from the level of national justice,it highlights the integrity of "loyalty to ministers and princes" and other national concepts of difference between China and barbarians;Emphasizing the responsibility consciousness of "heavy responsibilities and long way to go",it is mainly manifested as the sense of responsibility of "the world" and the sense of mission of continuing the civilized system;In terms of individual behavior,based on the principle of "righteousness and ratio",the concept of "righteousness before profit" is defined,and the concept of "using practice to give up and hide" is hidden.In the same way as the core of thought which is full of neo-Confucianism,Chen pu’s poetic construction is also born out of Tao,presenting a typical neo-Confucianism style.Poetry based on the "Feng Ya Bi Xing " of Confucianism and " literature outflows from Tao " of neo-Confucianism and " literature against Tao " of the Zhu xi,Chen Pu’s poetry language simple plain,less carved grinding,a lack of beauty,beauty in sound,and almost only in the form of poetry,also a single expression,in a word,the weak " empty ".At the same time,it serves the purpose of expounding the theory,and its poems have strong argumentation and reasoning.These can be described as the universal style of neoConfucianism poetry,can be seen everywhere in the poems of neo-Confucianist.In addition,Chen pu’s poems also have their own unique features,which are mainly reflected in two aspects.First,Chen pu’s poem has many self-annotation,especially in poems on history.With a long length and a single type of self-annotation,the author provides a large amount of miscellaneous supplementary materials for the poetry to express his unique historical theory,which has the characteristics of knowledge-oriented and argumentation-oriented,and interacts with the poetry to complete the expression function of the poetry and form a benign interactive relationship of "poetic annotation complementation",which is not available to the general neo-confucianists.Behind it is also the purpose of Confucian thought,for worrying meaning may not express fully.Secondly,influenced by many schools of poetry in the song dynasty,Chen pu’s poetry also took on the appearance of literature,and borrowed from other mountains and stones in poetic method to explain the theory,which was embodied in the absorption of the expression techniques of Jiangxi school of poetry.In addition,for the sake of "knowing people and thinking about the world,and thinking against the will",this paper also gives an account of Chen pu’s life experience and his creation,in the hope of contributing to the study of his poetry.
