Chapter 48 Han Yu
In the first month of the 14th year of Tang Xianzong's Yuanhe (819), Han Yu offended Emperor Xianzong because he admonished to welcome the Buddha's bones, and was demoted to be the governor of Chaozhou (now Chaoyang County, Guangdong).When passing through Lantian Pass in Shaanxi Province, his nephew Han Xiang came to see him off, and he wrote the famous "Moving Left to Languan to Show Nephew Xiang Xiang":
This Han Xiang is a powerful figure in the legend, he is Han Xiangzi among the Eight Immortals.
Han Yu's poetry is far less successful and influential than his prose. He was the leader of the ancient prose movement in the Tang Dynasty and one of the eight great prose writers in the Tang and Song Dynasties. His status in the history of prose is very high.His poems, both in quantity and quality, cannot be compared with his prose.However, he was an important poet in the history of poetry in the Tang Dynasty, because he established a style of poetry in the mid-Tang Dynasty.
Han Yu (768-824), the word Tuizhi.Born in Heyang, Henan (now Meng County, Henan).County Wang Changli, known as Han Changli.In his later years, he served as the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, also known as the Ministry of Officials of Han.
Han Yu's requirements for articles are "speaking must be written by oneself" and "speaking of the statement", and it is good to oppose imitation plagiarism. fault.His prose is majestic and unrestrained, with rich imagination space.These characteristics had a great influence on Han Yu's poetry theory and creation.
Han Yu's poems, of course, are like his prose, which requires "writing in a smooth manner", such as one of the widely read "Two Poems by Zhang Shiba Members of the Ministry of Water in Early Spring":
But this is not the main style of Hanshi.His main style, one is to advocate "injustice will sing" ("Send Meng Dongye Preface"), that is to say, poetry should be expressive and expressive.The second is to advocate novelty and novelty in artistic conception and language, forming a style of strangeness, eccentricity, and "horizontal hard language" ("Recommendation").This style is in sharp contrast to the plain and simple style advocated by Yuan and Bai, but it is a relatively successful attempt to seek changes in the poetic style of the prosperous Tang Dynasty.Han Yu's poems such as "Nanshan", "Mountain Stone" and "Yehengyue Temple" are representative of this style.
Han Yu's poems have already set a precedent for Song people to "use writing as poetry".Its gain expands the content and artistic conception of the poem; its loss weakens the charm of the poem.
