The Researches About The Fengshanwen During The Middle Ages

Fengshan ceremony is a very important loyal ceremony in feudal society, which had become the emperors' most longing for goal since Qin and Han dynasties. Fengshanwen came into being accompanied with the emergency of the Fengshan ceremony. As the reflection of the ceremony, Fengshanwen should be clear to us, but it is not the fact, people studying Fengshanwen have different views on it. In my opinion, Fengshanwen cannot be regarded as a literary style, but just a compound of a lot of articles, which have the same subject, that is Fengshan ceremony, and boast the prosperity of the empires by listing so many good phenomena, which considered to be the wills of God. So the styles of Fengshanwen are so various that we can find them in almost all sorts of articles. Generally speaking, Fengshanwen can be divided into four sorts: Fengshancalvings, Fengshanzouyiwen (which were written by the officials.)Fengshanzhaolingwen (which mostly came from the officials, but few of them were written by the emperors themselves, and the others. The first convinced record on Fengshan ceremony may be in the Qin dynasty and they become most populous also in the Qin and Han dynasties .In WeiJin period there were also some records but should be shy compared with the previous dynasties. Until Tang dynasty, people just repeated the actions of Qin Han period, and have nothing changed. Hence I only study the articles belonged to the previous Tang dynasty period .In addition, Fengshanwen in itself has plenty of cultural meanings which the other articles don't have, in this article I'll also give some simple analysis. All the contents of my essay are as follows.I want to discuss the feature and period of fengshanwen in the first chapter. Firstly, to analysis the relations between fengshan and fuming .In my point of view, fengshan differ from the fuming, fengshan is to praise the attributes of the emperors and the latter to make preparation for the emperors who had got the power of the country. So the emergement of fuming may be earlier than the latter, but fengshan is the result of the development of royalty. In conclusion, even though there are some relations between them, they are surely different individuals.The secondly, I want to tell the differences of fengshanwen and fumingwen. I insist that fengshanwen cannot be considered a literary style and just a subject of essays. In addition, I am about to give some reasons for my article's period. The main content of the second chapter is discussion of the style of zhonggu fengshanwen. I will further analysis zhonggu fengshanwen from the following aspects: beikewen, zouyiwen, zhaolingwen and others. The outline is as follows.

Zhouyiwen is the main body in fengshanwen. There are to persuade the emperors to fengshan, to discuss the contents of the fengshan, and the aim is to make fengshan. To persuade the emperors fengshan is often viewed the majority, and the essay written by simaxiangru may be the first one, then, there are some writers such as Yang Xiong BanGu HanDanchun and Cao Zhi. They all study each other, so their constricts are often the same. People had been tired to these essays for their routines before Tang. The articles to discuss the contents usually based on the concrete subject and seldom speak the imaged things. As to zhaoling, written by emperors themselves, and we can see their individuals in them. The third chapter tells the culture of fengshanwen. In this chapter I will discuss some questions, that is, the backgrounds and formulation of fengshan in Tai mount, the con of fengshan and the effect of the fengshanwen, the value of myths in fengshanwen.
