Research On The Reception Of Cao Zhi’s Poetry In The Qing Dynasty

Since the birth of Cao Zhi’s poetry,because of Cao Zhi’s extraordinary talent and tragic life experience,Cao Zhi has formed a unique history of Cao poetry reception in the history of poetry.The acceptance of Cao poetry had already arisen during the Southern and Northern Dynasties,and Zhong Rong’s "Poems" and Xiao Tong’s "Selected Works" paid special attention to Cao poetry and spoke highly of it.In the Qing Dynasty,when poetry theory was highly prosperous,poetic theorists’ acceptance of Cao poetry was more comprehensive and systematic.There are many discussions and controversies among Qing dynasty poets about the status of Cao poetry in literary history,and various views have been formed in Qing dynasty poetry and anthologies,which not only have the personal characteristics of poetry theorists,but also reflect the overall style of Qing poetry from the side.In addition,Qing dynasty poets also recognized the outstanding contribution made by Cao Shi to the development of Wuyan poetry and Lefu poetry,forming a basic trend of acceptance of Cao Zhi’s poetry.In the poetry of the Qing Dynasty,poets started from the two aspects of thought,feelings and artistic characteristics of the Lefu poems and the five-word poems in Cao Zhi’s poems,Shi Minzhang,Li Zhi and others commented that Cao Zhilefu’s poems were "extremely moving and affectionate",Qiao Yi and Mao Xianshu and others pointed out that Cao Zhilefu’s poems were sad and generous,and He Yisun and Pan Dehe and others believed that Cao Zhi’s five-word poems inherited the elder brother and became one by themselves,so his five-word poems were more powerful than the poets of the same period.Cao Zhi’s five-word poems inherit the heavy rhyme characteristics of the "Nineteen Ancient Poems" to form a linguistic feature of harmonious phonology,in addition,his five-word poems are also considered by the Qing people to be "working at the beginning of the tune",which is very characteristic of the Han people.The Qing people also started from the origin and influence of Cao Zhi’s poetry,arguing that Cao Shi was actually the precursor of Du Fu and Li Bai’s poetry,and had an important influence on Tang and Song poetry,which actually enriched the criticism of Cao poetry by previous poets.There is also a discussion of the position of Cao poetry in the history of poetry and an exploration of Cao Shi’s "fierce works",in which Ye Xie put forward a-for-tat view,but this argument provided new ideas for later generations to accept Cao Shi.In the anthology of ancient poetry of the Qing Dynasty,poets’ acceptance of Cao Zhi’s poetry was mainly carried out from three aspects: the theme of the poem,the artistic style,and the origin of the poetry.The reception of Cao poetry in anthologies is more stable than that of poetry,and the discussion of the main theme of Cao Zhi’s poetry is similar to that of Qing poetry,such as Chen Zuoming and Wu Qi both believe that Cao poetry has a poetic role that reflects reality.Poetic theorists such as Chen Zuoming,Wu Qi,and Fang Dongshu have different views on the style of Cao Zhi’s poetry,which are not only their personal preferences for poetry,but also factors that are influenced by the inheritance of previous generations and the social atmosphere of the time.In the discussion of the origin of Cao Zhi’s poetry,Wu Qi put forward the view that Cao Zhi’s poems are "collected into a large collection",which is a comprehensive evaluation of Cao poetry made by Wu Qi on the basis of summarizing the views of his predecessors,and it is indeed reasonable to a certain extent;Fang Dongshu believes that Cao Zhi’s poetry has a scriptural tradition,which reflects Fang Dongshu’s innovation of the views of his predecessors,and is also conducive to the study of Cao Zhi’s poetry by later generations,which has a certain positive impact.From the perspective of the contrast of Cao Zhi’s poetry,Qing dynasty poets show unique characteristics.In the comparison of the three cao,Qing dynasty poets believed that Cao Cao was honored or that Cao Zhi was valuable;However,in the evaluation of the merits of Cao Zhi’s poetry and Xie Lingyun’s poetry,Qing dynasty poets did not have a definite conclusion,but they provided ideas for the comparative study of Cao Zhi’s poetry in later generations.In addition,compared with their predecessors,the Qing people proposed that Cao Zhi’s poetry "semantics and meanings" on the basis of continuing the viewpoint,reflecting the Qing people’s innovation in the acceptance of Cao poetry.Finally,Qing dynasty poets strove to reconstruct the Cao poetry model in their poems and anthologies,showing different acceptance attitudes.Judging from Qing dynasty poetry and anthologies of ancient poems,the reception of Cao Zhi’s poetry by Qing poetry theorists pushed Cao Shi to occupy a high position in the history of poetry criticism,showing the sober cognition and reshaping of Cao Shi by Qing Dynasty poets.
