Who is right about Poetry and Romance ?

In ancient poetry theory, there are "poetic words" and "poetic affection".

Two claims. Yanzhi said, "From the Book of Shang; "Lyricism" was produced in the Wei and Jin dynasties. The main similarities and differences are as follows:

Different: The most fundamental difference between "poetic affection" and "poetic speech" is that "speech" requires "affection and etiquette", and the poet's affection must conform to the moral norms of Confucianism;

"Affection" is "affectionate" and does not have to "stop at etiquette". Poets no longer have to use artificial moral norms to restrain themselves, and they are free to express their temperament in their poems based entirely on the poet's poor provenance, joys, sorrows, and sorrows. It can be seen that the "new scale" of "fate and affection" fundamentally negates the moral connotation of the traditional Confucian "words and aspirations", and makes poetry move towards the aesthetic world of emotions.

Same: There are two representative theories about the origin of poetry in ancient times, one is the original heart, and the other is the original Tao. In the system of the original heart, there are several expressions such as "poetic words", "poetic sentimentality", and "poetic affection".

Whether it is ambition, emotion, or emotion, all of them belong to the "heart", that is to say, literature originates from the human heart.

Ji Yun of the Qing Dynasty once criticized "poetry and affection", saying: "It is not necessary to stop at etiquette and righteousness ...... affection."Since the term "fate" in Lu Pingyuan has been led astray, and it is even a horizontal painting, how insincere is it? ”

The poet Zhu Ziqing pointed out in "Poetry and Speech" that "Poetry and Romance have always been standing, and although the new tradition of 'poetry and love' is also developing, it is always hidden in the shadow of the old tradition and cannot look up" "It is not until this era (Yuan Mei era) that it can be regarded as really raising its head".

The two factions have their own opinions and compete with each other to play.

Actually, there is no contradiction between the two theories. "Words" and "Fate" have different footholds. "Words and aspirations" are based on the content of the poem, and "fate" is said on why the poem is self-established. "Words and aspirations", the stereotype of poetry; "Affection", the beginning of the poem.

The poet's "love" is moved and becomes a poem, and the words are called "poetic words". What is the "fate"? Because also, because of love and poetry also. Who is the "speaker"? Chen said also, Chen said his ambition also.

The opposition between "fate" and "words and aspirations" is not Lu Ji's responsibility. Mao's poem "words and aspirations", but also said that "emotions are in the middle and form is in words". "Poetry" is rooted in "love". "In the heart is the will, the speech is the poem".

"Ambition" and "affection" are the same thing, and there is no essential difference between "speech" and "affection". This was already seen by Kong Yingda in the Tang Dynasty. The sense of things gives birth to feelings, the poems are written by feelings, the poems become the words and aspirations, and the feelings are carried out with feelings.

The beginning of the debate, Gain's poetry. There are Yidun customs, so "stop at etiquette and righteousness", cover with "love" as a private feeling, there is a bad and elegant, so the desire to strangle, the so-called "destroying people's desires" is also; There is a lyrical spirit, so it is more valuable than the real existence, and the cover is "love" as the true feeling, which is related to the sexual spirit, so the desire to promote, the so-called "childlike saying" is also.

From the evolution of poetry to poetry, we can see that most of the early poems were documentary poems, and individuals could only give poems and aspirations, and the aspirations here were mainly related to politics and religion, and later with the development of literature, the content of poems changed. With the emergence of individual poets, the traditional concept of describing poetry without writing has been broken, and stylistic poetry has also begun to appear, and the content of the chronicles has also begun to change, and romance has gradually begun.

Later, with the continuous development of stylistic poetry, the continuous development of poetry and romance, and finally formed the theory of poetic affection, and then with the program of "poetry and affection", the poetry of the Six Dynasties, which blindly pursued the beauty of form, advocated flashy and beautiful, and eventually became the object of criticism.

Based on the literary style of the Six Dynasties, the political and religious functions of poetry and words were once again emphasized, and the concept of "simultaneous development of feelings and aspirations" emerged, which emphasized both the political and religious functions of poetry and the expression of personal sincere feelings.

Since then, "speech" and "fate" have become the two indispensable pillars of Chinese poetic theory, and have had a profound impact on the creation of poetry and the development of poetry theory in later generations.

Zhi gradually evolved into an important category of Confucianism.
