Study Of The Acceptation Of Li Shangyin’s Poems In Song Dynasty

Li Shangyin is good at writing poems.Before Song,the acceptance and recognition of him in the literary circle were mainly based on the achievements of parallel prose and political experience.On the one hand,the view was that he was brilliant in writing and had ups and downs in his official career.The other side focused on the failure to observe the Confucian aesthetic norms,and the lack of practical significance of parallel prose,even though it was elegant and beautiful.In connection with its wavering performance in the party dispute between the Niu and Li,it attacked the Shang for being despotic in character,"having no integrity and swindling talents".These two viewpoints constitute the positive aspect of Li Shangyin’s acceptance in this period,and are the forerunners of Li Shangyin’s acceptance in later generations.At the same time,the spread of Li Shangyin’s poetry is also in the bud.From the late Tang Dynasty to the Five Dynasties,most of Li’s poems were circulated in a single piece and never published.After entering the Song Dynasty,Xikun poets,represented by Yang Yi,collected 582 poems of Li’s poems by taking advantage of the opportunity of compiling the"Literary Garden Yinghua",which laid a solid document foundation for the dissemination of Li’s poems in the Song Dynasty.In Song Dynasty,some scholars tried to interpret and accept Li Shangyin’s poems.Among them,chanting poems and chanting epics have received the most attention.As for the former,the acceptance of the poem is mostly based on the extraction of techniques,while the comment on the latter’s poem is more diversified,which not only praises its artistic achievements,but also summarizes its unique Canon techniques,and embodies the rich feelings contained in the allusions.In addition,there are attempts to interpret the specific articles in Li Shangyin’s poems.On the interpretation of the theme of Jin Se,the theory of chanting material took the leading position in the Song Dynasty,and the theory of mourning for the death which was popular in the second generation of Ming and Qing Dynasties developed on this basis.The acceptance of Le You Yuan is based on the two sentences:"The setting sun is infinitely good,but it is nearly dusk",so the two sentences are better.In addition to the interpretation and acceptance of the text of poetry,there are also writers in the Song Dynasty focused on the techniques of Li Shangyin’s poetry and explored the unique and superb techniques of Li’s poetry.The analysis of Li Shangyin’s poetic techniques mainly focuses on three aspects:being good at carving,being used to allusion and being good at setting off and rendering.Li Shangyin’s carve and polish of the poem has been recognized by the poetry circle,but his attitude is divided into several schools:one school appreciates the craftsmanship of Shang Yin’s poetic method,such as Zhu Bian,etc.;The other group,such as Zhang Jie,objected to Li Shangyin’s too ornate style of poetry.Others point out that Li Shangyin’s carving in poetry is worth popularizing,but it is too heavy to hinder the artistic value.The poetry circle also noticed that Li Shangyin was good at using allusions.The poetry circle also praised and criticized the use of allusions.Some people thought that Li Shangyin was piling up allusions,which seriously restricted the expression of the meaning of the text.Some people think that Li Shangyin did not mechanically copy allusions,but made personalized processing of allusions.Finally,the poetry circle also noticed Li Shangyin’s foil to the poetic atmosphere,they believe that Li Shangyin did not directly reveal the theme of the poem,but through repeated rendering,foil,finally give the theme.The acceptance and understanding of Li Shangyin’s poems did not stay in theory,they also practiced their understanding of Li Shangyin’s poems in their creation.Some poets follow the poems of Li Shangyin,while others use the title of his poems to create.Some Ci writers use the inspiration or technique of Shang Yin in the creation of Ci,which makes the blood of Shang Yin poetry flow in Song Ci.Generally speaking,Li Shangyin’s position in the poetry circle of the Song Dynasty was not invariable.In the early Song Dynasty,Bai Juyi was the model of poetry.Later,Xikun poets promoted Li Shangyin to the position of model of poetry because his beautiful and canonical style of poetry was in line with the aesthetic preferences of Yang Yi and others.Later,during the reign of Emperor Tiansheng,Ouyang Xiu led the reform of poetry and prose in an attempt to revive the Confucian tradition.Although he recognized the artistic value of Li Shangyin’s poems,the differences in the theme of his thoughts led Ouyang Xiu to choose Du Fu as the new model of poetry,and Li Shangyin’s position declined somewhat.Then,because Li Shangyin intentionally imitated Du Fu in his creation,he was soon accepted by the public as a model of consciously imitating Du,and his position in the poetry circle became stable.
