Chapter 500: The Cultural System of Chinese Poetry

"It's not that hard to solve this problem. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Regarding Cheng Li's questioning, Huang Yifan had already been prepared: "Although Chu Ci has been lost, we can still find questions about Chu Ci from other aspects. We know that Chinese civilization has a context to be found, and it is also constantly developing and inheriting. The same is true of poetry culture. In fact, poetry already existed in the primitive period, or at that time, it was not regarded as poetry, but just a way for our ancients to record their lives, and under the influence of this, there was the source hymn of our poetry.

After the hymn, there is Han Fu.

After the Han Fu was the Yuefu poem, after the Yuefu poem was the Tang poem, and then the Song Ci Yuan song.

It can be said that from the most holy poems to the Song Ci Yuan song, they all have their own inheritance system.

Now, let's first sort out the development of our ancient Chinese poetry.

Let's start with Han Fu.

What is Han Fu?

Han Fu is not actually a poem, he is actually a kind of narrative prose. Of course, this kind of prose also talks about rhythm, but also about battles, and occasionally it can also rhyme, and under the influence of this, there is a more poetic Yuefu poem. At the same time, Yuefu poems also absorb the characteristics of Han Fu, that is, narrative, and more highly refine the beauty between words, so Yuefu poems are also called narrative poems.

The Yuefu poems were followed by Tang poems.

Compared with Yuefu poems, Tang poems not only perfectly inherited the rhythm of Yuefu poems, but also went one step further on the rhythm of Yuefu poems, with a change of "Pingxuan". However, the narrative concept of Yuefu poems is somewhat weakened, and some Tang poems may also express narratives, but more Tang poems actually write about the mood at that moment, which has little to do with events.

Tang poems were followed by Song poems, and of course, Song poems. However, Song poems are similar to Tang poems, and there is not much difference. Moreover, as a poetic style representing the Song Dynasty, Song poetry is not as wonderful as Tang poetry. However, the Song Dynasty, which was extremely prosperous in cultural development, developed another style of poetry, which is called Song Ci, although Song poetry was not very good.

What is Song Ci, in fact, Song is just a dynasty name, the key is the word. What are the words, the words are actually similar to the lyrics that we sing now. Why Song Ci appeared in the Song Dynasty is related to the political and cultural background at that time. From the Tang Dynasty to the Song Dynasty, after a long period of cultural construction, Chinese culture has made considerable progress, and various cultural entertainment products have also appeared one after another. For example, singing was very popular in the Song Dynasty. Since someone sings, of course someone needs to fill in the lyrics. And the lyrics are not like the current lyrics, just write a lyric is a lyric. In the popular culture of the Song Dynasty, various cultural celebrities were very particular about Song Ci. Not only should the words be filled in to match the artistic conception of the tune, but also the words must have a poetic effect.

After the Song Ci is the Yuan Qu...... Well, having said so much, Yuanqu will not talk about it. ”

Speaking of this, Huang Yifan began the topic: "There are many poets here, and they must surpass me in the study of Chinese poetry." However, the reason why I said so much just now is actually to illustrate the title I just mentioned, Chinese poetry has a heritage context, he is well documented, he did not jump out of the stone all at once, nor did he appear out of thin air. Without Han Fu, there would be no Yuefu poems, without Yuefu poems, there would be no Tang poems, and without Tang poems, of course, there would be no Song poems...... Just like why there are poems abroad, but their poems are different from ours, in fact, it is also because of the difference in inheritance culture. ”

"Teacher Huang, you've talked so much, and you're almost out of class, I don't know what what you said has to do with the format of Xiti poems that are Chu Ci?"

At this time, Fang Xingjian, who was unable to get off the stage by Huang Yifan before, seemed to have returned to normal, and after listening for a while, he found that Huang Yifan still did not get into the topic, but he was a little impatient, stood up and said.

"Teacher Fang, don't worry, if the academic problems are not clearly analyzed, how can you do it."

Ignoring Fang Xingjian, Huang Yifan continued: "Just now I said that our poetry culture has a heritage, but between the poetry and the Han Fu, I don't know if everyone has found it, he doesn't seem to have this inheritance relationship. ”

Finding that everyone didn't understand, Huang Yifan explained again: "The point is, as I said just now, Han Fu influenced Yuefu poetry, Yuefu poetry influenced Tang poetry, and Tang poetry influenced Song poetry. Then, it is obviously the poetic genre before Han Fu that will influence Han Fu. Before Han Fu, it was hymns.

Let's take a look at it again, hymns generally use four-word style, but our Han Fu is six-word, eight-word, or even ten-word. The hymn emphasizes rhyme, but Han Fu can rhyme or not. A hymn is a poem, a song, and the content is shorter, generally a poem is only a few dozen words. Han Bin is not a poem, nor a song, he can call it prose, and the shorter Han Fu also has a few hundred words, and the most is a few thousand words.

Although hymns also influenced the Han Fu to a certain extent, for example, the Han Fu quotes the repeated chapters and sentences in the "hymns" in many places, but this influence can be said to be very small compared to the entire Han Fu. It is far less than the influence of Han Fu on Yuefu poetry, nor the influence of Yuefu poetry on Tang poetry, nor as much as the influence of Tang poetry on Song poetry.

We can also find the answer to this point in time. The hymn first originated in the Shang Dynasty and reached its peak in the Zhou Dynasty, while the Han Fu originated in the Han Dynasty, which is relatively far away from the hymn. So, is there a poetic genre between hymns and Han Fu?

The answer is yes, and that is Chu Ci.

Huang Yifan nodded, and finally brought the topic back to Chu Ci.

"Dalong, what Huang Yifan wants to say, why don't I understand something."

At this time, some students in the audience seemed confused, and many students were obviously not able to understand. However, they didn't understand, but for Shuimu and several professors and experts from Yan University and Fu University, when they heard this, they faintly felt that they had grasped something.

But what it is, they don't know. But there is no doubt that they know that Huang Yifan's research is right.

"Mr. Huang Yifan, can you be more specific, we don't understand something?"

At this time, a student in the audience stood up and said.

"Don't worry, everyone will understand soon."

At this point in the one-and-a-half-hour lecture, more than half of the time has passed, and there are still ten minutes to go.

Looking at his watch, Huang Yifan continued: "Professor Cheng Li also said just now that the historian "Ban Xun" once said that reciting the Fu without singing is actually not the Han Fu, but the Chu Ci. In other words, in fact, Chu Ci is also a kind of endowment in a sense. However, it is clear that Chu Ci is not a kind of endowment, Chu Ci is Chu Ci, and Fu is endowment. However, if we extrapolate from the time, the most influential influence on Han Fu is not the hymns, but the Chu Ci. ”

There are still three minutes left: "Well, here we are, everything is much easier." Although Chu Ci has been lost, we can still try to analyze the sentence structure of "Chu Ci" according to the rhythm of Han Fu, and as for the format of Chu Ci quotation Xi body that I just mentioned, we can find the answer in Han Fu......"

After the last sentence, the first session of the "Chu Ci" lecture of the day was almost over.
