The characteristics of prose in the Tang and Song dynasties and the development and inheritance of p

It should be the ancient literature movement that originated in Han! The co-rule of the monarch and the scholars made the civil power unprecedentedly strong, which suppressed the monarchy to a certain extent, and the economic and cultural prosperity made the literati less dependent on sycophants. In addition, the existence of Liao and Western Xia made most of the literati at that time take saving the country and the people as their own responsibility, completely abandoning the flashy and unrealistic literary style since the Wei and Jin dynasties, and being more simple and plain, close to real life.

1. The background of the times, including the economic, political, and social reasons of the Song Dynasty.

2. The literary style and popular literature at that time flourished. Other cultural activities such as the influence of word opera.

Specifically, you can check the relevant information from the above aspects.

Many times when we mention the literary achievements of the Song Dynasty, we will unconsciously think of Song Ci, Tang poems and Song Ci Yuan songs, which can be described as thunderous. However, we also ignore the brilliance of other literary forms in this period of high development of literature and art, although the poems are the first to recommend Tang poems, majestic atmosphere, full of emotion, but Song poems are also not their style, Song poems are interesting, the style of poetry is plain and simple, full of interest, and it has reached the state of returning to the basics in the plain. At the same time, the eight masters of the Tang and Song dynasties, the two Song Dynasty accounted for six, which also shows the high achievements of the development of the Song Dynasty's cultural endowment, which also topped several generations.

Moreover, in the literature of the Song Dynasty, the permeation of rational interest in it is the overall characteristic of the entire Song Dynasty literature, which not only benefits from the high development of Song Dynasty and the increasing maturity of its theory, but also directly affects the academic philosophy of the literati in the two Song dynasties.

The development of the poetry reform movement.

In fact, the poetry of the Song Dynasty has also undergone a long period of re-evolution. As early as the middle of the Tang Dynasty, under the advocacy of Han Yu and Liu Zongyuan, a series of stylistic reform movements for prose were carried out, and they advocated that the essays should be simple and natural, simple and free, and this new prose characteristic was in stark contrast to the previous style of writing since the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties. Under the advocacy of the Ancient Literature Movement, the prose of the middle and late Tang Dynasty paid equal attention to literature and science, such as Han Yu's "Ma Shuo".

Han yu. However, this style of writing did not continue in the early Song Dynasty, in fact, it had a great influence on the development of words in the early Northern Song Dynasty, which inherited the writing style of the five dynasties of Huajian words. Therefore, the prose creation in the early Northern Song Dynasty was also superficial and despicable, and the ancient literary tradition proposed by Han Yu and Liu Zongyuan disappeared, and the form of article creation was fixed and formalistic.

Therefore, in the literary world at that time, there was a strong call for a change in the system of poetry and writing, and there was a demand to change this erosive writing style.

Liu Zongyuan. Ouyang Xiu was the leader of the poetry and literature innovation in the Song Dynasty, he paid equal attention to Zhang Wendao, learned from Han Yu and Liu Zongyuan, and advocated the simplicity and responsibility of the article; He opposes the beauty and prosperity of poetry represented by Xikun style, and believes that the truth of Du Fu's poetry should be followed. Ouyang Xiu's prose forms are diverse, full of content, politics, history, and literature are numerous, and in his prose, argumentation, narrative, and lyricism are integrated with each other, and they are completely orderly and not cluttered.

Ouyang Xiu's poems were easy and natural, concise and fluent, and euphemistic, and were imitated at the time.

Ouyang Xiu. Ouyang Xiu's poems are on the one hand to reflect his own feelings and personal life, and on the other hand, to reflect social reality and criticize social ills. Wang Anshi's poetry creation was influenced by Han Yu, and he often wrote poetry in the form of prose and narrative means.

The poems are generally smooth and concise, and the poems are full of arguments, reasoning, and engaging.

Wang Anshi is also one of the eight masters of the Tang and Song dynasties, and his prose and poetry achievements are also very high, and Wang Anshi's literary creation shows a very obvious political color, which is consistent with his identity as a politician.

Gui Youguang is the most accomplished artist in the Tang and Song dynasties. He was able to correctly inherit the true meaning of Tang and Song Dynasty prose, and to a certain extent, he broke free from the shackles of the concept of science.

Gui Youguang, like other representatives of the Tang and Song dynasties, expressed dissatisfaction with the retro burial theory and simulated literary style of the seven sons before and after the vigorous Xuan Dynasty at that time, and advocated that the text should be rooted in the Six Classics and promote morality. But his ideas are different from those of Wang Shenzhong and Tang Shunzhi: the "Tao" he advocated is not Song **xue, but traditional Confucianism; What is particularly important is that while advocating the importance of Taoism, he also attaches great importance to the role of literature in expressing and examining feelings.

The Eight Great Masters of the Tang and Song dynasties were important and influential literary scholars in the Tang and Song dynasties. Their works represent the peak of prose in the Song Dynasty and lay the foundation for later literary schools. Among them, Liu Zongyuan's "Drinking Horses on the Great Wall Caves", Lu You's "Dengle Youyuan" and so on, are rare classics in the history of prose.

During the Ming and Qing dynasties, the prose of the eight masters of the Tang and Song dynasties influenced the development of prose in the Ming and Qing dynasties. The writers of the Ming and Qing dynasties inherited the ideas of the eight masters of the Tang and Song dynasties and carried them forward, and a large number of works made new breakthroughs on the basis of the eight masters of the Tang and Song dynasties.
