Research On Self-Writing Of Su Zhe’s Poems

Su Zhe has always been known as one of the "Eight Great Writers of the Tang and Song Dynasties",and the academic community has affirmed the value of his articles.However,the evaluation of Su Zhe’s poetry is very low.As a poet,Su Zhe’s poetry is rich in quantity and unique.There are over 1800 poems of Su Zhe coexisting,mainly derived from the collection of poems written by Su Zhe himself in his later years,"Luancheng Collection"(together with "Houji" and "Sanji",a total of three episodes),and poems collected and lost by later generations.Fang Hui evaluated Su Zhe’s poetry in "Ying Kui Lv Sui" as "quiet and tasteful",affirming its artistic value and literary achievements."Quiet and simple" means that poetry has no flowery rhetoric and its language is plain and natural;"Tasty" means that although the poetic flavor is not strong,it is dominated by artistic interest.The formation of Su Zhe’s poetic style of "tranquility,simplicity,and flavor" is related to his writing of daily life and expression of life philosophy in poetry.With the support of such a rich number of poems,the richness of self reference,the richness of daily writing,and the concentration of philosophical reasoning have all made the self writing of Su Zhe’s poems take on a rich and researchable aspect.Starting from Su Zhe’s overall poetry,this study examines the self in poetry,and explores the self image,self positioning,identity,self awareness,and cultural personality presented in Su Zhe’s poetry from the perspectives of self identification(first person self identification,third person self identification),self metaphor,and self attitude.The overall research statement is as follows:The first chapter mainly discusses Su Zhe’s self-image and cultural psychological identity.Firstly,starting from the self-image(officials,Taoists,farmers)in Su Zhe’s "Self Writing Praise",this paper explores Su Zhe’s realistic and psychological identity.Starting from the self description of official positions in poetry,this article explores the changes of Su Zhe’s official identity in the field of official status;Under the contradiction between official status and seclusion,Su Zhe also attempted to resign as a farmer;When Confucianism was lost,it also used its Taoist identity to identify itself.Secondly,there are a large number of geographical claims in Su Zhe’s poetry,which is an individual’s positive reflection on "return".As a scholar of Western Shu,Su Zhe has a strong local complex;Su Zhe,who had been demoted from official posts for many times,also had a strong sense of guest identity.However,Su Zhe actively adjusted his own situation.The geographical claims such as "Jiangxi Old","Dongxuan Elder",and "Yingbin Relics" appearing in his poetry were a way for Su Zhe to intentionally adjust his own restless state,and also helped him to complete his dynamic adaptation to the current environment.The second chapter mainly discusses the self characteristics and self recognition embodied in Su Zhe’s poetry.Under the trend of "turning inward" among scholars in the Song Dynasty,Su Zhe paid more attention to himself and wrote more daily works related to "self".First of all,Su Zhe had a profound understanding of the state of poverty.He called himself a poor person and devoted himself to the realization of self worth in official life.However,official attacks produced a sense of poverty,for which he had a profound self recognition;Secondly,Su Zhe carefully examines his own body,illness,and appearance,reflecting a keen physical perception.However,the passing of life over time also makes Su Zhe keenly aware,reflecting a sense of caring for the individual’s life;Finally,Su Zhe’s poetry has many manifestations of the "madness" of the self,both in the "madness" of the enterprising officials and in the "alienation" of the self characteristics,with a self examining gaze.The fourth chapter focuses on the unique value of Su Zhe’s self writing,and compares Su Zhe with Su Shi.First of all,although Su Zhe and his brother share similar interests and advance and retreat in their careers,they present different self faces in their poems.Firstly,there is a difference in self image.What Su Zhe presents is a dignified "elder" image,while Su Shi is the image of Lotte’s Dongpo;Secondly,the different self images presented by the two Sus are due to their different personality and cultural characteristics.On the basis of the widespread introspection of the scholars in the Song Dynasty,Su Shi’s introspection softened his optimistic and open-minded personality,presenting a free and easy cultural personality that did not reside in anything;Su Shi’s introspection was blessed by his introverted nature,exhibiting a serious cultural trait of "not being false to others.".To sum up,Su Zhe’s poetry constructs a wealth of self images and presents a rich self written appearance.
