The Classicizing Course Of The Five-Characters-Poem In Mid-ancient

The research of Literary Classics is an academic frontier in the field of Chinese Ancient Literature.It began from the American academics in 1970s.According to the mainstream Western scholars' view,any study of the literary classics should be included at least four factors.Firstly,there is a specific period;Secondly,there is a mainstream cultural groups;Thirdly,the literary value should be recognized by most people;Fourth,there is a literary tradition System.On the history of Chinese literature,the Five-Characters-Poem' development just contains these factors in the Mid-ancient.By researching the simulated poem of Jiang Yan,the discussed poem of Liu Xie,the commented poem of Zhong Rong,the selected poem of Xiao Tong in the Southern Dynasties,we can find that some classic writers and their works seems to become a consensus through multiple selection.In other words,we believe that the Five-Characters-Poem have completed its initial course of literary classics during this period.This course not only refers to some poets and their works can get community generally agrees,but also the Five-Characters-Poem becomes the mainstream literary style.This is a difficult process,acrossing the whole Mid-ancient.So,we should reflect on the view that the Five-Characters-poem is the best poetry style.In fact,during the late of the Han Dynasty,the traditional Four-Characters-poem also be changed according to the needs of times.The two poetry style' competition is quite obvious in the Western Jin Dynasty.The Five-Characters-poem' success is due to its practicality.We can explain this phenomenon by discussed the term and concept of New Poetry which is through the whole period of Mid-ancient.As we all know,such as San Cao who come from the lowly family are good at the Five-Characters-poem.But in the Southern Dynasties,such as San Xie who come from the noble family are good at this style.If there is no noble poets intervented to the Five-Characters-poem creation,this style is unlikely to achieve its classic course in the Southern Dynasties.There are closely related between the phenomenon that noble poets intervented to the Five-Characters-poem creation and its own political,economic,social status factors.Though this process of changes have been discussed by the previous generation of scholars,we can explain the historical terms and concept of Power Groups and Powerless Groups in order to get some additional material.The nobles cultural groups belong to the mainstream of society,and they are the creator of the mainstream culture and the practitioner of the aesthetic standards.Any time,they have some Cultural Capital in order to exchange for the political rights.For the Five-Characters-Poem,the Mid-ancient is a special history as a form of cultural capital.We can find it from the official historical record of Wei Jin and Southern Dynasties.Which the nobles involve in the Five-Characters-Poem creative process has its own specific course.And the Metaphysical Poetry is the most important part of the process.It leads to the leadership' transferred of poetry field from the lowly family to the noble family between Wei Jin and Southern Dynasties.We must be aware that Guo Pu is an important poet.This is the third contribution of the Metaphysical Poetry to Chinese literary history.As we all know,Xie Lingyun is the best poet of Southern Dynasties.His success depends on the perfect unity between literary tradition and individual talent.So,his poems have some classic factors which are the precious materials for us.Zhong Rong' Shi Pin establishes the Five-Characters-Poem' Legality status on the theoretical level.So,it has an extremely important role in the classicizing course.But we firmly believe that Shi Pin contains the author' profound idea which safeguard the interests of nobles groups.We can find it from Zhong Rong' life story.Thus,the completion of the literary classics not only related to the internal factors,but also promoted by some social and political factors.
