A Study Of Xiao Que

Xiao Que,whose name is Renzu,was a member of the Liang Dynasty clan in the Southern Dynasty.He traveled from south to north due to wars and went through the Northern Qi,Northern Zhou and Sui Dynasty.Xiao Que’s special identity and complicated life history have had a certain influence on the communication and integration of North-South literature and the literature of the Northern Qi,Sui and Tang Dynasties.However,for a long time,the academic circles have not been systematic and in-depth research on him.This article discusses the four aspects of Xiao Que’s family history and communication,the academic activities and works he participated in,the themes and artistic characteristics of poetry creation,and the study of his poems.Xiao Que’s grandfather,Xiao Dan,was the younger brother of Emperor Wu of the Liang Dynasty,Xiao Yan,who was instrumental in establishing the Liang Dynasty.Father Xiao Ye and uncle Xiao Ying are both members of Xiao Gang’s “Four Friends of the East Palace”.Xiao Dan’s family tradition is upright and modest,and he values the cultural education of his children;Xiao Que family ideology is a combination of Confucianism,Buddhism,and Xuan,and is very inclusive.Xiao Que’s birth and death history is not detailed.Considering the death year of his father Xiao Ye,the birth year of his friends and the whereabouts of his poems and other information,he is most likely to be born between 530 and 540 AD,Still alive in 607 AD,the year of death cannot be examined in detail.It is very likely that Xiao Que went into exile in the Northern Qi Dynasty after the fall of Jiangling.After the Northern Qi Dynasty was destroyed,he moved to Guanzhong as the rule,and then followed Yang Guang.After Xiao Que lived in the north,he socialized with Yu Xin,Xing Shao,Lu Sidao,Yan Zhitui,Cui Jishu and others.Xiao Que was in charge of composing the style arrangement of “Xiuwendian Yulan” while he was in the Northern Qi Wenlin Pavilion,and participated in the literary singing and activities organized by the post-master Gaowei.After entering the Sui Dynasty,he served as Yang Guang’s literary attendant.Xiao Que’s works have been lost seriously.There are 16 poems and 1 Ci Fu,some of which are quite controversial in type of writing,writing time,and authorship.Through detailed examination and identification,it is believed that “Chun Fu” is “Fu” rather than “Poetry”,and with the exception of “Chun Fu” which was written in the Southern Liang Dynasty,all 16 poems were written after exile in the north.Among them,Fenghe “Ying Jiao” and “Ying Ling”poems were composed by Xiao Que in response to Yang Guang as the king of Jin or prince.The author of “Feng He Bei Qiu Ying Ling” should be Xiao Quei,not Yu Xin or Wang Zhou.The subject matter of Xiao Que’s works are mainly seasonal seasons,accompaniment,banquet and singing,and chanting,etc.The artistic style of his works is divided into two stages.When he lived in the Liang Dynasty,his works were simple in connotation and weak in physique;after living in the north,they were mainly characterized by the North-South integration and veiled connotation.Xiao Que frequently wrote about the “autumn” season in his poems.While inheriting the traditional literary theme of sad autumn,he also expanded and surpassed,forming a writing with multiple lines of emotional connotation,philosophical thoughts and atmospheres dynamic and colorful writings.The characteristics of its poetic style are generally manifested as the transition state from Yongming style to modern style.Xiao Que experienced three changes of dynasties.After the fall of the Liang Dynasty,he was forced to go from south to north,exile in the Northern Qi,and then to the Northern Zhou Dynasty and finally to the Sui Dynasty.In such a situation of conflict and conflict,he reveals a complex mentality in his poems.Staying in other countries to have a strong feeling of longing for the hometown;Choosing to avoid the world in order to stay away from political struggle;Go with the flow of thought after sublimation in the later stage of life.Xiao Que is good at writing poetry,his poetry has attracted the attention of poets of the time and later generations.Many reviews have been mixed,but in general,praise is greater than derogation,and the later the era,the higher the evaluation.
