Interpretation of "Sao"

Coquettish: refers to the lofty status and far-reaching influence of "gifted scholars" who have made achievements in literature.

In the history of China literature, "Sao" is as famous as "Guo Feng" who represents the Book of Songs and "Li Sao" who represents the Songs of Chu. "Sao" tradition is two fine traditions of China ancient poetry developed under the influence of The Book of Songs and Songs of the South, namely "Feng" poetry tradition represented by The Book of Songs and "Sao" poetry tradition represented by Li Sao.

The so-called "wind" poetry tradition is the realistic spirit handed down from generation to generation. The basic principle of realism is to reproduce life according to the actual style of life, express the author's thoughts and feelings through a true, concrete and vivid description of life, and reflect the essence or some aspects of social life. The folk songs in Guo Feng and the political allegorical poems of the literati in Qing Dynasty in Er Ya embody this realistic spirit. In content, they face up to reality, describe reality, expose reality and criticize reality; In terms of artistic expression, they are good at using simple writing, concise language and clever metaphors to create real, natural and vivid images, and to paint a kind and touching picture of life to express their feelings and reflect reality. This is the main feature of Feng's poetic tradition, that is, the realistic poetic tradition. The realistic spirit of the tradition of "Feng" poetry in later literature mainly includes: Yuefu folk songs in Han Dynasty, literati poems in Jian 'an Cao Wei era, folk songs in Northern Dynasty, Du Fu's "Poetry History" works in Tang Dynasty, the "New Yuefu Movement" advocated by Bai Juyi in mid-Tang Dynasty, Bai Juyi's poems represented by Wang Yucheng in Song Dynasty and Yuan Haowen's poems in Jin and Yuan Dynasties. Although Guan Hanqing's zaju in Yuan Dynasty and Cao Xueqin's novel A Dream of Red Mansions in Qing Dynasty are not poems, they also inherit the fine tradition of realistic literature.

The so-called "Sao" poetry tradition is a creative method of positive romanticism full of passion and fantasy. The principle of positive romanticism is to "strive to strengthen man's will to survive and arouse his inner resistance to reality and all its oppression". The poet Qu Yuan's long political lyric poem Li Sao embodies the creative spirit of this positive romanticism. This is manifested in the ideological content and artistic techniques of Li Sao. In content, Li Sao shows Qu Yuan's progressive ideal and his unremitting pursuit of this ideal. This is the essence of positive romanticism. In terms of artistic techniques, on the one hand, Qu Yuan used rich mythological materials to form a strange mythological world through free fantasy, so as to express the poet's inner contradictions and conflicts, his pursuit of heaven and earth and his unswerving patriotic feelings; On the other hand, he used the metaphor of developing folk songs to create a world of "vanilla beauty" to symbolize that his struggle with the decadent and dark forces of Chu was a struggle between truth, goodness and beauty and falsehood, ugliness and ugliness. On the basis of real life, Li Sao expresses the author's persistent pursuit of progressive ideals with rich fantasy and enthusiasm, which is also the main feature of Sao's poetic tradition, that is, the literary tradition of positive romanticism. This positive romantic literary tradition has also been passed down from generation to generation. Jia Yi, a poet in Han Dynasty, Cao Zhi in Jian 'an era, Ruan Ji in Zhengshi period, Zuo Si in Jin and Six Dynasties, Bao Zhao, Li Bai in prosperous Tang Dynasty, Li He in mid-Tang Dynasty, and even the uninhibited ci school represented by Su Shi and Xin Qiji in Song Dynasty, and novelists Wu Cheng'en and Pu Songling in Ming and Qing Dynasties all inherited and developed this fine tradition to varying degrees.

This refers to the lofty status and far-reaching influence of "gifted scholars" who have made achievements in literature.

Make an appreciative comment

The first two sentences of the poem take the poems of Li Bai and Du Fu as examples: "Du Li's poems are widely circulated, but they are not new so far." In order to explain the change of poetic style from generation to generation, the poet quoted two famous poets in the history of poetry, Li Bai and Du Fu in the Tang Dynasty, as examples. Li Bai and Du Fu's poems have been handed down from generation to generation, and no one can compare them. Even great poets like Li and Du Fu, whose poems have been circulated for thousands of years, are no longer fresh when they are circulated to the public. From the perspective of historical development, every era has its leading figures. It can be seen that "talents come forth in large numbers, each leading the way for hundreds of years", and talents appear from generation to generation in the country, and their respective influences are only a few hundred years. The author believes that poetry should keep pace with the times, and poets should be innovative in their creation, not deliberately imitating, but following in the footsteps of the ancients.
