Political And Cultural Changes And Literary Styles In The Yuan And Cheng Periods Of The Western Han Dynasty

The period of Yuan Di and Cheng Di was the transitional period of western Han regime from prosperity to decline.In this period,on the one hand,the mediocre emperor and eunuch consort monopolized power,resulted in dim politics.On the other hand,Confucianism entered its heyday,when Confucian scholars played an increasingly important role in the political life and actively put their political ideals into practice.The complex social situation made the literature show newness in content and style.During this period,the doctrine of Yin and Yang disasters prevailed,and the number of "sin and Self-ediction" issued by Yuan and Cheng emperors due to disasters increased significantly.The sin and Self-ediction had the function of easing the relationship between heaven and man and reconciling class contradictions.At the same time,in the repeated declaration of "guilt",the emperor established his identity as a legitimate monarch.With the reform of ancestral temple and suburban worship system as the starting point,and the rule of rites as the focus of social reform and practice,the author tried to establish a more "rite","pure ren Moral education" social system,which was extremely critical and sarcastic spirit and persistent to save the decline of the world.The sense of mission of "Perfect peace" and the attention to the mandate of heaven formed the two themes of "The Duke of Zhou assisting the King" and "Zen abdication".The influence of the two themes superimposed each other and promoted the process of Xin Dynasty,which ended the rule of the Western Han regime.The development of Confucian classics plays a certain role in promoting the development of four-character poetry.Jiaoshi Yi Lin interprets Yi in the form of poetry,which is a typical combination of classical culture and secular culture in this period.The mutual promotion between the Wei family and Lu-Shi shows the interaction between the academic background,official career development and the expansion of family strength of confucian scholars under the background of confucian classics in Yuan Cheng period.With the end of the reign of Wu Di,Han Fu developed synchronously with the imperial atmosphere and showed its inadaptability to the society.In Yuan Cheng period,the extravagant and fierce beauty of Fu did not meet the new aesthetic requirements of the society,and the development tendency of "showing off one’s intelligence" could not realize the functional expectation of participating in politics by fu,so the creation of Fu fell into a low tide.Style development,such as the late western Han ode pro inscription in stylistics in boundary is not very clear in the history of the early stages of much affected by Fu in form,so that with fu "parts",but the style of writing has shown the different pursuit of their respective functions,gradually to "use",and laid a solid foundation for development of related during the eastern han dynasty style.In the reign of Emperor Cheng,Liu Xiang and Liu Xin presided over the large-scale collation of ancient books,which was a comprehensive collation of the academic system since the Western Han Dynasty and also had an important impact on the development of literature.He established the evaluation standard of "worship scripture" and wrote the final version of zi Shu,which provided a demonstration for the creation and arrangement of later works.In the classification of novelists,novelists have obvious particularity,which has a long-term influence on the source,characteristics,language style and social evaluation of novels.As the creation practice of Liu Xiang’s Zishu,Lienu Zhuan takes the classics as the standard,serves the realistic politics and social education,and becomes an important medium to understand the creation of Zishu in the Han Dynasty.In addition,the establishment of the corresponding relationship between the writer and his works reflects the new changes in the development of literary concepts at this stage.
