The Study On Liu Ke-Zhuang's Poetics

Eleven topics of Liu Ke-Zhuang's poetics are discussed in this thesis First, these topics, which are eleven chapters in this thesis, are an integral system. Chapter 1 and 2 discuss poem level and poet level. Chapter 3 and 4 discuss poetic thought and aesthetics. Chapter 5 and 6 discuss style and form. Chapter 7 and 8 discuss writing and refining. Chapter 9 and 10 discuss inheritance and creativity. Chapter 11 discusses regularity of the thriving and declining.Second, these topics are more overall, more systematical, more rational and deeper than the same topics in poetics history. The judgement on poet level corrected prejudice in it and finally established the system of poet level that has been suitable until now. The discussion on a poet's moral quality, which is different from the ideas that discussed only moral quality, linked poem level with people level. The ideas about shijiao, lijiao, meici not only reflect the evolution of Confucian's poem education, but also surpass the evolution. The thought of nature aesthetics rectified extreme ideas of Taoist school, and argued that nature should combine with artificiality. The stylistics in the Song Dynasty was more plentiful, more definite, and more concrete than the previous one which was ambiguous, monotonous, and general. And Liu Ke-Zhuang maintain that style should be compatible with each other, be told correctly which is superior, be used appropriately. This was more reasonable than the others' ideas in the Song Dynasty. The ideas about Tangti (a poem form of the Tang Dynasty) first pointed out its defects and systematically elaborated the means that corrects these defects. The theory about "Gongfu outside of poem" exceeded previous means of writing-poem as well as the same ideas as Liu's. His comments on refinement of poem were the most complete and the most theoretical among all the related points of view. The ideas about imitating put forward eight principles to try to correct various faults. Which was more valuable than the others' ideas? Creativity exposition changed the past way to only appeal instead of studying, and the most comprehensively discuss the connotation and means about creativity. Liu Ke-Zhuang also tried to find relations between Gongming and the thriving-declining of poem. In brief, because all eleven topics were the most overall, the most systematical, the most reasonable, the mostreasonable, the deepest, so they were the culmination to a degree.The research-means of this thesis is that, in order to demonstrate the value of learning of eleven topics, this writer make Liu Ke-Zhuangr's topics compare with all the same ones of poetics history. The means not only emphasizes the value of Liu Ke-Zhuang's ideas, but also shows the evolution of poetics history. This can see microcosm from macrocosm arid look at macrocosm from microcosm.
