A Preliminary Study Of The Poems Concerning Jiujiang In The Jin And Northern And Southern Dynasties

The Xun-related poems in the Jin and Northern and Southern Dynasties refer to the poems that involve the place names,natural scenery or cultural landscapes of Jiujiang in the title or content of the poems.Although these poems are different in terms of creation theme and emotional expression,they all present more or less regional cultural characteristics that are unique to Jiujiang in the content of the poems.To study the poems from the perspective of literary geography will help to understand the characteristics of the poems related to Xun,better grasp the relationship between the poems related to Xun and the development of Jiujiang literature,and is of great significance to study the regional culture of Jiujiang.As a direct reflection of the development of regional literature in Jiujiang region during the Jin and Northern and Southern Dynasties,the poems related to Xun in the Jin and Northern and Southern Dynasties showed the basic appearance and dynamic process of the development of poetry in Jiujiang region during this period,and highlighted the value of regional literature in Jiujiang regionIn terms of time dimension,poems about Jiujiang show different stage characteristics.Tao Yuanming,a local poet,was the main force in the creation of Xun-related poems in the Jin Dynasty,while the number of foreign Xun-related poets and Xun-related poems was small.During the Northern and Southern Dynasties,foreign poets in Jiujiang were the backbone of the poems.Although the number of poems in Jiujiang was almost the same as that in the previous period,the number of poets in Jiujiang increased from 8 to 24 in the Jin Dynasty.In terms of spatial dimension,the development of Xun poems in Jiujiang counties is uneven,with the focus on the three counties of Xunyang County,Chaisang County and Pengze County,and there are hot spots around county and county,radiating around and decreasing.When analyzing the specific situation of the poems about Jiujiang in each county,it is found that the poems about Jiujiang in Chaisang County vary in content according to the poet’s native place.The poets about Jiujiang take the natural environment around their residence as the main object of description,while the poets in Xun focus on the most representative natural landscape in Chaisang County-Lushan Mountain.The Xun poems related to Pengze County are mostly eulogizing the natural landscape of Pengli Lake and admiring the human resources,namely Tao Pengze.Xunyang County has become the focus of the development of The poet entering jiujiang poetry,mainly due to its superior geographical conditions.Taking the subject matter of poetry creation as the foothold,we can roughly divide the Xun-related poems in the Jin and Northern and Southern Dynasties into four categories,namely,tour poems,gift poems,farewell poems,travel poems and pastoral poems.Combined with the regional culture and natural landscape of Jiujiang region,and according to the differences of the native places of the poets in Jiujiang,the differences between the poets in Xun and the poets beyond Jiujiang in the types of poetry creation themes are explored,that is,the poets in Xun mainly focus on sightseeing,farewell and travel poetry,while the poets in Xun mainly focus on gift and pastoral poetry.No matter the poets in Xun or the poets beyond Jiujiang,their poems about Xun contain the characteristics of Jiujiang,indicating the organic unity of the poems about Xun and the regional culture of Jiujiang.When discussing the relationship between Xun poets and Jiujiang regional culture,we cannot ignore the interaction between The poet entering jiujiang poets and Jiujiang culture.On the one hand,the poets in Xun,represented by Huiyuan,not only created the poems about Xun that contain the regional characteristics of Jiujiang,but also made Lushan become the important place of Buddhism in the south,attracting many Buddhist believers,scholars and even dignitaries to set foot in Jiujiang,creating favorable conditions for Jiujiang to become a literary center in the late Eastern Jin Dynasty.On the other hand,the poets who entered Xun were also influenced by the Jiujiang literature atmosphere,and their poetry creation showed the regional characteristics of Jiujiang.The Xun poets,represented by Tao Yuanming,not only show the stage characteristics of the development of Jiujiang literature,but also are the shapers of Jiujiang regional literature.At the same time,in their contacts with the poets in Xun,they are influenced by the literary atmosphere of Huiyuan and others who "enjoy the mountains and rivers and take the Tao as the highest",adding to their mountain and forest atmosphere.Whether they are poets from Xun or from Xun,they are not only affected by the regional culture of Jiujiang,but also the shapers of the regional culture of Jiujiang.They reflect the characteristics of the regional culture of Jiujiang from different angles.
