| Mei Yaochen is a poet who played an important role in the reformation of poetry of song dynasty.It seemed that most critics consider Mei’s poetry insipid.Although the traditional critiques are not entirely wrong,some of them appear limited and stubborn.Mei’s poetry reflects that poetry of song dynasty had been experiencing a long period of seeking the personality.Also,his extraordinary works embody wonderful innermost being.When it comes to character Mei’s poetry and his poetic theory,we can involve times changing,complicated experience and so on.Briefly,apparentness and concealment may provide the best angle to study it.Considering his works,there are something more profound and detailed referring to poetry’s language,image and interest,which could link different dimensions between macroscopic and microscopic angels.The research should be more flexible rather than rigid.Considering his poetic theory,it should focus on the origin,with dialectical analysis,as well as its innovation and change.Firstly,the image in Mei’ poetry pursues innovation and strangeness.Apparentness and concealment of the image reveal two kinds of image shaping.The first is to have a strong emotional gaze,which is a vivid image.Second,the image doesn’t possess strong emotional gaze and it is abstract ambiguity.From the perspective of the degree of agreement between image and emotion,the former has a strong empathy process from "having me" to "not having me",which constructs the same realm of poetry.The latter "without me" comes to "with me",and the setting of the sense of distance is a kind of beauty of "looking at flowers through fog",which constructs the transcendental realm of poetry.Secondly,apparentness in language contain something below.One is to show it with imposing manner,and the other is to show it with a straight cut.The former is reflected in the realistic poetry of "straight speaking and fearing ghosts",as well as the magnificent and vigorous historical attention.The latter is embodied in the poetic language of strange and dangerous rhymes,bitterness,hardness,and ingenuity.The concealment of the language in Mei’s poetry lies in the high quality of "acting in simplicity" and "thinking with profound meaning",which ultimately lies in a lofty style of standing upright in the absence of Tao and adhering to the principles of righteousness.Thirdly,apparentness of interest in Mei’s poetry includes three aspects.First,the acceptance of Tao Yuanming opened the atmosphere of learning Tao and loving Tao in the Song Dynasty.The second is to carry forward the spirit of the New Yuefu and promote the development of narrative poetry in the Song Dynasty.Third,Mei inherited Han Yu’s strange aesthetics and revealed his inner resentment.Concealment of the interest is mainly reflected in the meandering and contradictions of human feelings.Finally,apparentness and concealment of Mei’s poetic theory mainly lie in the handling of the relationship between "being motivated by events" and "being gentle and sincere".Besides,theories of "seeking to explain beyond words" and "as in the present" have their own inheritance and uniqueness.Mei Yaochen is the man who once made a great influence on poetry of his era,as well as poets who lived in this era.Mei Yaochen is undoubtedly the pioneer of Song poetry.Such as leading the aesthetic trend of concealment,promoting the development of literary poetry,and creating the genre of bird language poetry in the Song Dynasty,are significant and far-reaching.This article is based on the complex evolution of his psychological trajectory,including introversion and orientation,positive and low anxiety,enterprising and retreat.Based on comprehensive factors such as current affairs and political situation,family origins,provenance,travel,and other factors,it deeply draws on the micro,and helps to fill the gaps. |
