Study On SongZhengyu’s Poetry

Song Zhengyu was born at the time of the the change of the dynasties,and his growth process was deeply related to it.Before entering the Qing Dynasty,Song Zhengyu mainly followed Chen Zilong,Li Wen and other teachers and friends.After entering the Qing Dynasty,with the death of the old teachers and friends and the fall of the old Dynasty,Song Zhengyu became a minister of the Qing dynasty.He wrote a lot of poetry before and after and his poems are included in the poetry section of the Complete Works of Forest House and the New Manuscript of Yun Jian Sanzi,totaling 934 poems.At present,the academic research on Song Zhengyu is basically classified into the overall framework of Yunjian Pai study and Yunjian Sanzi study,and it does not pay enough attention to his literary creation.The results of a general review of Song Zhengyu’s poetry creation are limited.Some studies either ignore Song Zhengyu’s feelings of family and country,or focus on his political stance,or ignore the specific details of Song Zhengyu’s poetry text.This paper goes deep into Song Zhengyu’s poetry text,grasps the two dimensions of Song Zhengyu’s thinking of the country and the nature,experiences the waves of the poet’s inner emotions,and further studies the specific expression of these emotional thoughts in the poetry,so as to find out the internal details and unique expression of Song Zhengyu’s poems.The first chapter mainly studies the life and works of Song Zhengyu.Song Zhengyu was born in the Song family in Huating.His ancestors were eager to learn and passed down the family by manners.Passing imperial examination became the common pursuit of children in the Song family,and also promoted the Songjiang Song family.He enjoyed relatively rich cultural resources in his family.Being young and talent,when he was 16 years old,he entered Ji She and was admired by many key members of Ji She.Subsequently,Song Zhengyu made friends with Chen Zilong and Li Wen,discussing poems and articles and organizing social affairs together,which lasted for 13 years.After the death of these two friends,Song Zhengyu supported Ji She,encouraged the children,and became the leader of Ji She in the middle and late period.In terms of the official career,Song Zhengyu steadily advanced all the way to the Three-rank official,wasn’t basically involved in major political disturbance,can be described as a magnifico.However,due to the sensitivity of Song Zhengyu’s political choice and identity,Song Zhengyu could not match Chen Zilong and other loyal men,and the official government of the Qing Dynasty avoided the identification of his political identity.In the interpretations of Wu Weiye and other scholars,his literary talent was inferior to his brother Song Zhengbi,which obviously took the influence of the early development of Ji She as the main consideration.The influence of the Yun Jian Pai’s poetry was diluted by the rise of various factions of poetry in later generations.Chen Zilong and others were honored as loyal scholars,and their fame and influence exceeded that of the faction itself.The reputation of Song Zhengyu’s poetry is faded with the disappearance of Yun Jian Pai.Due to a variety of reasons,Song Zhengyu’s abundant works are relatively quiet in the records of historical materials and poetry criticism works.The silence of personal names and poem names further affect the academic circle’s cognition of Song Zhengyu’s poetry creation.Song Zhengyu’s research basically belongs to the more hot topics such as three memember of Yun Jian Pai and Ji She studies.However,detailed and specialized research findings appear infrequently,and the original text and more detailed research and recognition is badly needed.The second chapter mainly focuses on Song Zhengyu’s thoughts of home and country in his poetry world.Song Zhengyu had a lot his own practical considerations.He was eager to show his talent by being the official position,and he was also burdened with the mission of Honor one’s ancestors.At the end of the Ming dynasty,he was frustrated with his official career,so his concern for fame became more anxious.During this period,Song Zhengyu was also at a loss and had huge internal struggle.In his poems,Song Zhengyu repeatedly quoted the allusion that Boyi and Shuqi gathered wild vegetables in West Mountain,and also eulogized a faithful woman.He tried to encourage himself in his poems,and also struggled to find a realistic way out.Song Zhengyu eventually chose to serve the Qing Dynasty,and his heart experienced an emotional agitation.In the poems,it is specifically expressed that Song Zhengyu pays special attention to current events at the time of change.In this period,Song Zhengyu discusses current affairs with sincere and passionate feelings,showing strong anxiety,anger and grief.The remembrance of Chen Zilong and other loyal men and their thoughts and sorrow also make the poet unable to give up the psychological expression of true feelings towards the old dynasty after all;Song Zhengyu not only had the poems after visiting the tomb of Emperor Jing,and the poems are filled with tributes to the past dynasty,but also visited the West Mountain area whicn near the Ming Emperor mausoleum many times,which more or less showed some secret intentions.However,with the passage of years,Song Zhengyu’s fierce thoughts of home and country gradually calmed down,and his poems became more peaceful and restrained.On the other hand,controlling inner feelings and lightening emotional agitation was also an inevitable part of Song Zhengyu’s self-adaptation process.In order to obtain the peace of the spiritual world,Song Zhengyu’s poems also included poems that served the rule of the Qing Court and spoke for the will of the Qing Court,or poems that showed the life of the Qing Court.Unable to completely let go of the feeling of home and country and trying to dilute the influence of home and country became the symbiotic aspects of Song Zhengyu’s spiritual world.The third chapter mainly presents Song Zhengyu’s thoughts on nature from two dimensions.Song Zhengyu’s thoughts on nature have both negative emotions and positive expressions.What he was tired of was the wandering state in which he could not pursue an official position,and nature’s reduction of his idea of pursuing an official position;When he was an official in Beijing,although he became an official and paid more attention to the pleasure of forests and springs,Song Zhengyu’s thoughts on nature were still complicated.On the one hand,he was fascinated by the pure nature;on the other hand,because he could not get away from his official duties,he did not totally want to enjoy the natural landscape in front of him,so he had a strong feeling of homesickness and retreat.However,when he went to Fujian to become an official,Song Zhengyu’s attitude changed again.He became more focused on nature and created more artistic and original landscape poems during this period.In addition,the garden is also one of the sources of Song Zhengyu’s intoxication feelings.The fourth chapter mainly summarizes the artistic styles of Song Zhengyu’s poems.Song Zhengyu’s poetry concept is basically consistent with Chen Zilong and Li Wen,who regarded the poetry of the Former Seven Masters and Latter Seven Masters of the Ming Dynasty as authentic and advocate learning from the poems of the Han,Wei,six and Tang dynasties,especially Cao Zhi and Du Fu.At the same time,Song Zhengyu made a point of expressing emotion,advocating that poetry should not be limited to the rules and reflect the personality of the poets.Song Zhengyu’s poetry also showed the overall pattern of learning ancient poetry from the Han,Wei and six Dynasties,and the modern style of poetry from the Tang Dynasty.According to the different ways of expression,Song Zhengyu’s poetry style also had internal differences.Song Zhengyu’s narrative have the characteristics of simplicity and smoothness,and his scene-shaped poems have the style types of simplicity or delicacy.Song Zhengyu’s lyrical content is relatively insipid among the three masters,and the overall emotional tone is relatively gentle and roundabout.The coexistence of introverted emotion and complex emotion makes some of Song Zhengyu’s poems show deep and graceful emotion characteristics.And Song Zhengyu also has direct lyrical sentences in his poems In a word,the artistic origins and specific styles of Song Zhengyu’s poetry are relatively diverse.
