The Latter Four Bachelors Of Sumon Of Study

In the Sumen literati group,the "Four Bachelors of Sumen" or "Six Gentlemen of Sumen" are well known to people,but for the "Latter Four Bachelors of Sumen",the academic circles seem to rarely mention it,let alone conduct special research on this literary group.The Southern Song Dynasty Han Biao’s "Jian Quan Diary" the first volume records: "Liao Zhengyi Ming Lue,Li Gefei Wen Shu,Li Xi Ying Zhong,Dong Rong Wu Zi,then known as the ’Latter Four Bachelors’.Ming Lue’s "Bamboo Forest Collection",Wen Shu’s"Jibei Collection",the collection of literature of Ying Zhong and Wu Zi have not been seen.The four people have the name of "Latter Four Bachelors of Sumen",but they have long been buried by the dust of history and have almost disappeared into the field of literary research,but it is necessary to dig deeper and investigate.Because Li Xi and Dong Rong have not seen their anthology records in the "Latter Four Bachelors",and neither of them has been found in the existing historical legends,this article intends to focus on Liao Zhengyi and Li Gefei as the research focus,in order to probe into the specific appearance of the literary group of the"Latter Four Bachelors" through Liao Zhengyi and Li Gefei.This article is divided into four parts with the "Latter Four Bachelors of Sumen" as the research object,and the first part is the examination of the life and writings of the "Latter Four bachelors".The life examination focuses on the birth and death,in-laws,and native place of Liao Zhengyi and Li Gefei,also tries to conduct a simple examination of the unknown Li Xi and Dong Rong according to the existing literature,strives to present the appearance of the two people.The anthology of Li Xi and Dong Rong is not recorded in the examination of the works,although the content of the anthology of Liao Zhengyi and Li Gefei is missing,the bibliographies of the previous dynasties have many records of the two anthologies,from which the names and volumes of the anthologies of Liao Zhengyi and Li Gefei can be examined.Li Gefei’s surviving masterpiece "Records of the Famous Gardens of Luoyang" has great academic value,from the literature recordation of the every dynasty,the circulation of engravings and the collection of editions,it is found that the authors of the “shuo fu version” and “jin dai mi shu version” of the Ming Dynasty’s system of saying that the "Records of the Famous Gardens of Luoyang" author were mistakenly titled "Li Zhi" among the "Six Gentlemen of Sumen".If future generations published them on the basis of these two versions without correction,they will certainly retain the erroneous literature error of the author be titled "Li Zhi".Although the "Latter Four Bachelors" have lost their collections,some of them have survived,Liao Zhengyi and Li Gefei’s literary creation can also be examined from other works.The second part examines the establishment of the name of the "Latter Four bachelors" and compares the status of Sumen with the "Four Bachelors of Sumen".This literary group has the title of "Latter Four Bachelors of Sumen",it is obviously inextricably linked to Su Shi and the "Four Bachelors of Sumen",first in literature,and secondly in politics.This literary group should meet the conditions of literature and politics: literaryly,the articles are appreciated by Su Shi and join in Sumen,Su Shi and other Sumen people have many travels and singings with them;Politically,they were called "bachelor" who was brought into the cabinet and entered the cabinet by Su Shi,in the whirlpool of party struggle,they and Su Shi advanced and retreated together,"one glory is both glory,and one loss is loss." The "Latter Four Bachelors" are both Sumen disciples and similar to the name of the "Four Bachelors of Sumen",and can also be compared horizontally between the two literary groups from both literary and political aspects: in literature,the "Four Bachelors of Sumen" entered Sumen before the "Latter Four bachelors" and received more literary influence from Su Shi,and in Su Shi’s view,the literary achievements of the "Four Bachelors of Sumen" were slightly higher than the "Latter Four Bachelors";Politically,the "Four Bachelors of Sumen" were called "Bachelors" through from Su Shi’s help,who entered the cabinet before the "Latter Four Bachelors",and in the partisan warfare of Northern Song Dynasty time,the connection between the career of the "Four Bachelors of Sumen" and Su Shi was closer than that of the "Latter Four Bachelors",the Sumen status of the "Latter Four Bachelors" should be ranked after the "Four Bachelors of Sumen".The third part is to explore the literary thought of the "Latter Four Bachelors",focusing on Li Gefei’s literary and Taoist views and the theory of literary creation with "sincerity" for the text and "horizontal" for the text.Influenced by Su Shi,Li Gefei showed his deep identification with the study of humanistic pragmatism and the idea of "Wen-yi-ming-tao" in literary creation.Admiring the creation of articles without carving,advocating "write article for a purpose",his literary creation propositions of "sincerity" and "horizontal" were even more critical of the Jiangxi poetry school during the Northern Song Dynasty.From the exploration of Li Gefei’s literary thought,it is understood that the literary group of "latter four bachelors" should uphold the literary thought of "Wen-yi-ming-tao",oppose the cumbersome carvings in literary creation,advocate that writers should generate emotions from real life,add the momentum of the article "across the world" in literary creation,pursue the continuous improvement of literary creation.The fourth part is to study the literary creation of the "Latter Four Bachelors",who were deeply influenced by the cultural revolution of Su Shi’s poems,the creation of articles highlighted his confucian orthodoxy and contained speculative reasoning,the language of the articles was concise and elegant,advocated the wanton and arbitrary style of the Warring States prose.Poetry has different styles but many words and things,advocating "taking the text as poetry",using canon,Taoist and Buddhism’s language into poetry,borrowing and other rhetorical techniques to make the poetry language elegant and natural,and the use of allusions and diversified rhetoric in poetry also makes poetry better play the function of "the poetry expresses one’s will".Words are written with many emotions,scenes are blended,from which you can appreciate the elegance of the Yuanyou literati,the creation of four-six prose also reflects the attitude of the people to the intensive study and diligence of literary creation.
