* * * Poetry and Traditional Culture

There are only dozens of widely circulated * * * poems, but they are profound in thought, lofty in artistic conception and profound. This is because * * * *' s poems not only highly condense * * * *' s life pursuit, great practice and profound thoughts, but also artistically present the long history, rich connotation and vitality of China traditional culture. Understanding the internal relationship between * * * * poetry and traditional culture will not only help to appreciate the profound connotation of * * * * poetry, but also help to grasp the cultural thought and contribution of * * * *.

Learning: the spirit of poplar cultivation

* * * once described his schooling experience as "six years of Confucius and seven years of Westernization", but he never stopped studying and studying the traditional culture of China. Since he entered a private school at the age of eight, he has been tireless and sleepless, and has always been integrated with the traditional culture of China. * * * There are countless inscriptions in his life, but the most written words are "learn, learn and learn again". No matter in the revolutionary war years when the military was hectic, or in the period of peaceful construction when the government affairs were busy, he was accompanied by books, read widely and was almost obsessed. Later, the Fengze Garden where he lived had more than 90,000 books. Among many books, he prefers ancient books on literature and history, covering almost different historical works from pre-Qin to Ming and Qing dynasties, including official history, official history, romance and literature. A set of thread-bound "Twenty-four History", which he studied for 24 years. He has read 17 times a history as a mirror with more than 3 million words. He is a well-read scholar since ancient times and modern times.

* * * has a special liking for China's classical poems, which have spread all over the ages. He not only reads all kinds of anthologies, collections, anthologies and albums, but also reads all kinds of poems, words, rhymes and rhythms. Judging from the content of the poem, he read narrative, reminiscence and lyricism, wrote about scenery, recited history and homesickness. From the perspective of poetic style, ancient Yuefu, regular poems, quatrains, words, songs and fu are all covered together, which can be said to be widely read and accepted, drawing on the strengths of many schools. It is precisely because of his extensive knowledge of traditional culture and his familiarity with classical poetry. In articles, reports, letters, conversations and inscriptions, he can express his views, demonstrate things and express his feelings. He can show his rich traditional cultural heritage and outstanding poet talent everywhere.

Inheritance: Jieshi remains in the east.

China's classical poetry occupies a unique position in China's traditional culture, is an important means of cultural inheritance, and is the oldest and most popular literary genre. * * * once said, "Some old poems can be written, but they should not be advocated among young people, because this genre binds the mind and is not easy to learn". However, he himself likes old-style poetry. "Old-style poetry has a long history ... and it can't be beaten in ten thousand years. Because this kind of thing can best reflect the characteristics and fashion of the Chinese nation and the people of China. " .

* * * fully inherited the national style and China characteristics of classical poetry. His poems are diverse in form and variety, including five ancient poems, seven verses, five laws and seven verses. He is better at lyrics, using more than 20 kinds of epigrams, such as Qinyuanchun, He Xinlang, Bodhisattva Man, Nian Nujiao and Die Lian Hua. He is well versed in the norms of poetry writing, with accurate language, neat antithesis, rigorous structure and endless charm. He often skillfully quotes, borrows and uses famous sayings in ancient poetry. In * * * poems, from cultural celebrities and historical allusions to folk stories, myths and legends, up to astronomy and down to geography, China traditional cultural elements are almost everywhere.

In terms of ideological content, * * * poetry inherits the fine tradition of "expressing ambition with poetry" derived from Yao Dian of Historical Records, and absorbs the political idea and people-oriented thought of Confucian culture based on "benevolence" in terms of value orientation, which always shows the political ambition and unremitting pursuit of a great revolutionary to save the country and the people. * * * Poems are straightforward, full of anxiety, full of the revolutionary spirit of "more sacrifice, dare to teach the sun and the moon to change the sky", full of the tenacious will of "striding forward from now on like iron", and emphasizing the political ambition of "cleaning up Jin Ou and dividing the land is really busy"

On the other hand, * * *' s poems are deeply influenced by aesthetic ideas based on Taoist thought, such as attaching importance to artistic conception, verve, individual freedom and romantic interest. * * * Poetry inherits the romantic artistic style of Zhuangzi, Qu Yuan and Li Bai, and is full of literary talent, enthusiasm and harmony. Whether writing about natural landscapes, animal gestures or social practice, they all fully show great boldness of vision and unrestrained spirit, profoundly reveal the inherent nature of things and people, and reflect the brilliant light of aesthetics and philosophy.

Criticism: The sea is turning over the river.

* * * emphasizes that "from Confucius to Sun Yat-sen, we should sum up and inherit this precious heritage". However, he especially believed in Mencius' statement that "it is better to believe in books than to have no books" and never blindly believed in all the contents of traditional culture. As early as my childhood, when I read Romance of the Three Kingdoms and Water Margin, * * * found that these books were all written by civilian military commanders, praising emperors and generals blindly, and no one had ever positively shaped the image of farmers at the bottom of society. The critical thinking of * * * prompted him to seriously reflect on the important historical proposition of who is the real master of the country and the nation, and he eventually became a rebel of those negative factors in China's feudal traditional culture. This political stance not only shows the relationship between the content of * * * poems and traditional culture, but also shows the great spirit of * * * resisting and surpassing tradition.

Liu Yazi once praised * * * poetry as "overthrowing 3,000 years of history and casting magnificent words". The history of China in He Xinlang's Reading History is a poetic expression of historical materialism. "But I remember a few lines", which inevitably reminds people of the sentence in Lu Xun's Diary of a Madman: "It's full of two words, that is,' cannibalism'!" "Huang San, the Five Emperors, deceived infinite passers-by" is a bold mockery and thorough criticism of the heroic historical view. After stealing the reputation of plantation, Chen Wang got up and waved to Huang Zhen. * * * fully affirmed the historical status of "slaves" and "inferior people" and praised them as "romantic figures" who promoted historical development. When commenting on "Spring and Snow in the Garden", he clearly pointed out that "the last three sentences refer to the proletariat." One hundred thousand workers and peasants go to Ji 'an ","one million workers and peasants are enthusiastic "and" arouse one million workers and peasants ".* * * creates the group image of the people with unprecedented generosity and enthusiasm, and enthusiastically eulogizes their revolutionary spirit and social practice.

Innovation: battlefield yellow flowers are particularly fragrant.

The ancients put forward a long time ago that "poverty leads to change, change leads to communication, and general rules last for a long time." Innovating through the Old is an inscription by *** 1942 for Yan 'an Theatre. He advocates making the past serve the present, but thinks that this "use" is not a simple copy and cannot replace his own creation. * * * "Talented people believe in beauty, and eternal poets bend." From content to form, from language to artistic conception, from theme to style, traditional poetry has been reformed and innovated in all directions, making it revolutionary and artistic, full of national personality and full of the spirit of the times. As Guo Moruo said, "Chairman's poems can't be old, and we can't look at the new and the old in form, but we should judge the new and the old from content, thought, emotion and vocabulary." * * * Poetry comments on history have a new view, people have a new insight into characters, writing has a new meaning to images, and remembering things has a new perspective, which is a shining example of the modernization of traditional art forms.

* * * Learn from the past, don't stick to the rules, stand on the tradition and break through the tradition. In the summer of 1954, * * filled in the magnificent "Langtaosha Beidaihe". When talking about the reasons for writing this poem, he said: "The Langtaosha written by Li Yu belongs to the category of lingering and graceful, so I used this epigraph to do the opposite and wrote a heroic poem, which is a criticism of the weak wind in ancient poetry." There are countless poems written by Yongmei in the past dynasties, among which * * * "Yongmei" is a wonderful work of "reading Lu You Yongmei's ci and using it in the opposite direction". Plum blossoms in Lu You's ci are independent, lonely, cold, passive, desolate and sad in the bitter wind and rain. * * * Praise plum blossom "Joe doesn't fight for spring, only reports spring." When the flowers bloom, she laughs in the bushes. "This song" Joe "and" Smile "is refreshing, showing the artistic charm of boldness, grandeur and elegance." Picking Mulberry and Chongyang is a work praising autumn, which is "not like spring, but better than spring". * * * Sweep away the sad autumn complex of "sadness and loneliness in autumn since ancient times" and praise the rich fragrance of battlefield yellow flowers and the vastness of autumn scenery. Sun Tzu's Art of War advocates "not chasing the enemy". In the Seven Laws, the People's Liberation Army occupied Nanjing for the sake of the long-term stability of the people of China, "It is better to sell fame and learn from the overlord than to chase the enemy with the only brave left", which is contrary to its original intention.

* * * revolutionized classical poetry, created immortal poems with distinctive characteristics of the times and strong Chinese style, and formed a unique new form of poetic beauty in China's long history of poetry. * * * *' s cultural thought and artistic practice have pointed out the correct direction for the development of China's new poetry, and have important reference value and guiding significance for the cultural construction of Socialism with Chinese characteristics.
