Chapter 95 Literary Genres of the Ming Dynasty

After the board has to continue to study, fortunately, the gentlemen just hit the left hand, otherwise it is enough to bear, the students of the society are now swollen on their left hands, they dare not touch the ground, quite experienced little fat man said that urine can be disinfected, so all the students ran to the toilet and dipped their palms in the urine bucket to stop for a while, and they really suffered. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The dog can't see it, this person is bold, so he simply went out over the wall and bought some ointment back, and a group of students rubbed the ointment, which made it more comfortable again, and it was no longer so painful, but it was still swollen.

The class was still held as usual, and Mr. Today began to talk about the article.

Daming's articles are not as famous as the Tang and Song dynasties, but they are also divided into many genres, just kidding, a dynasty that has been inherited for more than a hundred years is pestled there, and there is really no Taoism at all when writing articles?

Mr. Zhou is a Taoist and advocates Taoism the most, so today he is talking about the Tang and Song factions of the Ming Dynasty.

Among the various schools of the Ming Dynasty before Jiajing, the Tang and Song factions were relatively high-achieved, quite famous, and also had a great influence on later generations.

"During the Taizu period, the country was in ruins, so this article was a little reluctant, except for Song Lian, Gao Qi and others, there were almost no major achievements in the literary world, and because the officials were very strict, there was no genre to talk about......"

Mr. Zhou said that this is still a bit evasive, during the Hongwu Dynasty, the officials almost killed their heads at every turn, an empty seal case, a Guo Heng case, Taizu almost killed all the officials in the world, the officials were panicked, and they were afraid of self-preservation, where did they have any intention to engage in literary creation?

Song Lian, Gao Qi and others can be said to be quite literate, but it is difficult to support alone, and it has not formed a more influential school, after all, the Ming Dynasty in this era is not peaceful, the outside is not peaceful, and the inside is not peaceful.

It's hard to imagine that a world that is not peaceful can still produce literati and masters, just like the prosperous Tang Dynasty, the world is full of culture, isn't it because the country is rich and the people are strong, and the people live and work in peace and contentment?

"After the Yongle year, the country gradually stabilized, and the rule of officials was no longer as strict as before, so this style of writing slowly rose, but what is sad is that the rise of the literary world at this time is a flashy wind."

Mr. Zhou is cautious, some things dare not say too clearly, this era is actually like this, what Mr. said should be the rise of Yongle years, until the Chenghua period of the decline of the cabinet body.

At that time, the leaders of the literary world were the three scholars surnamed Yang who were known as the "Three Yangs", Yang Shiqi, Yang Rong, and Yang Pu, these three people were brilliant, but such a good literary style was all used to sing praises and boast about how powerful the dynasty was, how the emperor was famous, how the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, once the writing was used to do this, it would fall into the end, so most of the articles in this era were flashy and empty, and had no value.

Therefore, the birth of this pavilion is actually a big regression in the literature of the Ming Dynasty, which is a pity.

After that, the rise of the literary world is a genre that has become popular through poetry and drama, which is not big, but it is also far-reaching, and some secular literature that began in the late Ming Dynasty, including this time, is probably inspired by these genres, these articles are not so flashy, and some use some secular slang,

It also slowly guided the secular literary atmosphere of the Ming Dynasty in the future, such as "Warning the World Hengyan", "Warning the World" and so on, most of them are from this era, to put it bluntly, it is a small citizen literature, it is easy to read, and it is quite marketable, but many literati still disdain, although it is prosperous, but it has not created a world in the literary genre, in the eyes of scholars, these things have never been on the table.

"Speaking of genres, later literati and writers in order to Kuang Zheng from the Yongle period to rise this flashy wind in the literary world, to the then scholar Li Dongyang led by several people who rose up the Chaling poetry school, this Li Dongyang is a native of Chaling, Hunan,

Therefore, this poetry school is called this name, the main temperament of the article of the Chaling poetry school, anti-simulation, not as flashy and ******** as the previous Sanyang, which has raised a strange wind in the literary world, and it can be regarded as popular for a while, but in the end it still declined. After that, there are the first seven sons headed by the university scholar Li Mengyang. ”

Most of the literati and writers talk about these comments endlessly, and Mr. Zhou is the same, and I don't know if he really understands it that way, anyway, it seems that it is really like that, and even the little fat man listens with straight eyes, not because of how much this person likes articles, but because a scholar here and a first assistant at that time make people listen to it unconsciously, so the reverence for this old gentleman is even worse.

"The article of the first seven sons advocates that the text must be Qin and Han, and the poetry must be prosperous in the Tang Dynasty, to put it bluntly, it is also a retro style in our literary world. Writing essays and poems are based on the Han and Wei dynasties and the Tang Dynasty as models, and the articles are magnificent and atmospheric, although they are retro, they can be regarded as injecting a new wind into our ******** flashy literary world, which makes people can't help but shine and are quite accomplished. ”

Listening to this meaning, it seems that Mr. Zhou still has some respect for the first seven sons, what Mr. said is true, the first seven sons led by Li Mengyang, He Jingming, Xu Zhenqing and others are indeed quite famous in the literary world of the Ming Dynasty, especially the retro style brought up directly affected the Tongcheng faction in the later Qing Dynasty, which is not simple.

"But in the old man's opinion, not all the articles of these seven sons are of the highest quality, and the articles can only be from the Qin and Han dynasties, is it possible that there are no good articles in the Tang and Song dynasties? Han Yu, Liu Zongyuan, Ouyang Xiu, Zeng Gong...... Which of these articles of the Tang and Song dynasties is not outstanding and shines through the ages?

As a result, later Wang Shenzhong, Tang Shunzhi, Gui Youguang and others created a new literary school, that is, the Tang and Song schools!

With the style of Tang and Song Dynasty articles, coupled with Taoism, well, it's really wonderful, just like Han Huizhi's articles are strange, and then add the avenue of heaven and earth, how can it be read to relieve hatred? There is also that Zeng Gong, the article is quaint, fair, and peaceful, which is then integrated into the avenue of the country's monarchs and ministers, and it is the most convincing to read, so the old man admires the Tang and Song factions of this dynasty the most! ”

After a lot of rambling words, Mr. Zhou finally stepped into the topic.

However, this also woke up Li Gouyu, if he really wanted to gain a foothold in this era with articles, he would indeed start to form his own literary style at the moment, and it would be a little difficult to start a sect, but at least he had to take a hundred schools.

Just as the old gentleman said, there were various literary schools in the Ming Dynasty, including those of the Qin and Han dynasties, and those from the Tang and Song dynasties, but because the Tang and Song factions considered from the perspective of Taoism everywhere, many places had no new ideas and fell behind.

In 1127 A.D., a major event occurred in Chinese history, that is, the famous Jingkang Change, this year the Jurchen broke through the capital of the Song Dynasty, the Northern Song Dynasty perished, and the group of royal concubines and princesses of the Great Song Dynasty fell high from the golden platform overnight, and became the prostitute of the Jinguo laundry.

This also caused Taoists to think deeply, how can the powerless women and children still keep the Taoist system when the country is ruined and the family is ruined, without losing face?

Probably this is also an important reason why the Taoist system of science and Taoism can be popular after the Ming and Qing dynasties, and the later Emperor Chongzhen still refused to move south when the Ming Dynasty destroyed the country, and raised his sword to kill all the concubines and palace maids in the palace.

It can be seen that the imperial family attaches great importance to this unification matter.

Chinese lecture and sell thousands of crafts to the imperial family, and the gentlemen flock to sharpen their heads, to put it bluntly, it is also to win the favor of the royal family, so the literati of this era are even more hyped about Taoism and the like, just like this Tang and Song Dynasties, there can be no excellent articles, but there must be Taoism!

As a result, literary creation was actually imprisoned, and the original intention was lost in many places.

But fortunately, Li Gouyu is from the next generation, and his heart is not bound by these messy things, and I believe that as long as he works hard over time, there is still some hope for the article to form his own style.
