The Study Of Han Fu In The Geographical Perspective

In process of literature development that the Han Fufollows Book of Songs and Li Sao,the space dimension of ode’s expatiation that has been run through continuously intensified,and developed into the geography expatiation of the Han Fu, finally found the framework of the Han Fu that divide the country and measure the field.The relationship between the geography and the Han Fu could be looked from two dimensions: one at that the general trend of Han Dynasty’s borderline was closely related to the boom and evolution of Han Fu. The literary creation of Mei Cheng, Sima Xiangru, Yang Xiong were closely related to the borderline change in their own time. And a second at that the geography performance of Han Fu was a continuous developing and intensifying process. In early Han Dynasty, the Da Fu of Mei Cheng, Sima Xiangru were rarely about the geography performance, and that had since changed in the Da Fu of Yang Xiong. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, the ode’s about geography became the main part and geography element became the core content of the odes.The relationship between the geography and Han Fu can be looked and cross-examined from the major writers and works of the odes. Its key points includes the following points.Mei Cheng was a man of the state of Chu who lived in the situation that the central government conflicted with vassal government in early Han Dynasty. Mei Cheng adhered to strong feelings and ideals of loafers in the Warring States. Those descriptions of Mei Cheng’s Qifa that the State of Wu and the state of Chu were powerful, refracted the reality that the vassals were strong in early Han Dynasty. But those descriptions actually related to the geography of the Warring States and embodied as a power guest Mei Cheng’s praise and expectation about the situation that the vassals of the Warring States set up separationist rule. The theory of health preservation of Qifa reflected the Chu culture, especially Taoism ideas of the state of Chu. The way of argumentation of Qifa was also to unfold according to the structural pattern of Zhuang Zi’s Peripateticism.Zixu and Shanglin‘s geographical time-space were separate by textual research: According to the description of Zixu,the state of Chu that had Yunmeng area was the state of Chu in the Spring and Autumn period, the state of Qi that had Meng zhu can be proved the geography of the state of Qi in 286-284 BC. The state of Qi and the state of Chu of Zixu weren’t the state of Qi and the state of Chu in early Han Dynasty as vassal states. That Zixu’s geography were separate from Shanglin’s where the emperor in Han Dynasty hunt together in the era proved the two odes weren’t on the whole. Zixu was about a great event that the king of Chu’s hunting,and ended with that the state of Qi was vast in territory. As with Qifa, Zixu embodied the admiration and expectation for the Warring States when the vassals set up separationist rule, and reflected common cultural spirit and historical outlook on the basis of the vassals’ powerful background in early Han Dynasty. It fitted in with the background of creating Zixu that Sima Xiangru traveled in the state of Liang. After the state of Wu and the state of Chu were pacified, the vassals fell into decline. Sima Xiangru submitted to the authority of the Han Dynasty. His expectation that the vassals set up separationist rule had become a decrepit dream and his only choice was singing the praises of the central dynasty. Shanglin tried to highlight the emperor’s prestige, but ShanglinPark was the area of several hundred and wasn’t enough to surpass the state of Qi and the state of Chu. So Shanglin mixed the absurd geographic content of Shanhai Jing, and tried to cloud the limited geographical space of ShanglinPark through geographic reference that mixed reality and fantasies together. It leaded to subtle endless imaginary space and symbolized the Han dynasty Meteorology that everywhere under heaven, belongs to the king. On this account Shanglin overwhelmed Zixu and revealed the prestige of the Han Dynasty. Shanglinrefracted the spirit of self-confidence that the strong country and the frontier brought the people of the Han Dynasty but deliberate exaggeration.It was the theme and spirit that the odes of Mei Cheng and Sima Xiangru were affected by the geographical boundaries of the Han Dynasty. The geographic content was neither the main part nor the structural basis in the odes of Mei Cheng and Sima Xiangru. The geographical characteristics of these odes from a content point of view were still less prominent. The key person was Yang Xiong who played a role of transition and opened the new ethos of elaborating geography in this respect. All things considered, Shudu still should be reckoned Yang Xiong’s work that totally elaborated the geography. The Four Da Fu of Yang Xiong had rich geographical content that tended to structure literary piece as well. But affected by the thought of ‘combination of human and nature’, the odes of Yang Xiong still presented features that geography and astronomy were more mixed so that geographic content tended to be falsified. Yang Xiong opened City Fu that some also embodied the features of Travel Fu’s elaborating geography.After Yang Xiong, elaborating geography in the odes became the main trend. Dudu’s Lundu held an inaugural significance for the extreme flourishing of Capital Fu. It discussed that Guanzhong was a favorable geographical location and Suitable for a capital. As an essay type of work, it showed superb skills and didn’t emphasized elaborating geography. Xidu as the previous article of Ban Gu’s Liangdu could be first as an example of the great education. The geography was the core of the meaning of the works, whether writing clue, framework or the basic content of the text. Zhang heng’s Xijing inherited Ban Gu’s achievements in elaborating geography, and surpassed it overall in the neatness of geography clues and the richness of geographical materials.Capital Fu wasn’t a case type of prosperity of Geography Fu in the Eastern Han Dynasty. In fact, a variety of subjects of the odes were all reaching closer to the geography subject in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Geography Fu of the Han Dynasty were up to seven or eight to ten in the Wen Xuan. All kinds of basic body classes of the Han Da Fu showed the tendency of elaborating in accordance with the geographical dimension and geographic elements of the object.
