Analyze and grasp the literary expression of pre Qin historical works

Analyze and grasp the literary expression of pre-Qin historical worksThe writings of the pre-Qin period are of great archaeological significance. And it is of our country. Intangible cultural heritage. It should be well kept.

The Qin Dynasty (221 BC – 206 BC) was an important period in Chinese history, as Qin Shi Huang unified the six kingdoms and established the Qin Dynasty, which also had an impact on literary creation. However, the situation of literature in the Qin Dynasty was relatively poor, mainly for the following reasons:

1.Cultural repression: Qin Shi Huang imposed strict legalist rule, advocating pragmatism and legal morality, and a more repressive attitude towards other schools and cultural traditions. As a result, Confucianism and literary works were restricted, while Legalism and pragmatism were comparatively more abundant.

2.Book burning to pit Confucianism: Qin Shi Huang ordered the burning of books to pit Confucianism, and the burning of lead holes destroyed many classics and cultural heritage, resulting in the loss of literary works. This behavior has had a great negative impact on cultural inheritance and literary creation.

3.Unified standardization: The Qin Dynasty implemented a series of unified standardization policies, including writing, weights and measures, etc., to promote the unity and management of the country. This has led to the restriction and simplification of literary expression, and the lack of diversity and individualized creation.

4.War and turmoil: At the beginning of the establishment of the Qin Dynasty, it experienced a long process of war and conquest, and the society was in turmoil. This environment is not conducive to the flourishing of literary creation, and people are more concerned with existential and political issues.

However, despite the relative poverty of literature in the Qin Dynasty, Qin Shi Huang's unified writing and standardization policies had an important impact on later literary development. This standardized writing and cultural foundation provided a solid foundation for the development of literature after the Han Dynasty, and provided a unified language and identity for later literati creation.

It is worth mentioning that although the number of literary works of the Qin Dynasty is limited, some of the more important literary works of Yihuai Ode have been found in the excavated Qin slips, such as some ballads and folk songs in the Yuefu Poetry Collection. These works reflect the life, emotion, and social reality of the people at that time, and provide valuable information for us to understand the literature of the Qin Dynasty.

Pre-Qin literature was formed in Chinese literature

During the period of occurrence and creation, the study of pre-Qin literature must be incorporated into the dynamic system of cultural synthesis and dynamics, and it will be examined in the broadest historical and cultural context. For example, the study of historical literature and Zhuzi's philosophical art prose involves a series of cultural issues such as "historian culture", "pre-Qin rational spirit", as well as national spirit, way of thinking, and aesthetic psychology. The study of the Book of Songs and Chu Ci also involves cultural issues such as the culture of the north and the south, the origin of Confucianism and Taoism, religion, and folk customs. It is necessary to reveal the reasons why it has reached the peak of the times with an all-encompassing and majestic appearance due to its long-term accumulation and deep accumulation, from the aspects related to cultural factors such as in-depth history, cultural inheritance and the spiritual atmosphere of the times.

It can be said that almost all the problems in pre-Qin literature involve a wide range of cultural issues. Therefore, the study of pre-Qin literature cannot be penetrated and deepened without a cultural perspective.

If the development of China's literature is compared to a long river, then the literature of this period is in the origin stage; If Chinese literature is compared to a high-rise building, then the literature of this period is its cornerstone. Therefore, understanding and studying the literature of this period is of special significance for understanding the formation of the fine tradition of Chinese literature, the historical origin of aesthetic consciousness, and the occurrence and development of the national form and style of Chinese literature.
