Bao Zhao Poetry "character" Theory

In the poetidal circles of the Nan Dynasty, Baozhao?s poetry is a kind of dis- tinctive being, and this kind of distinctive nature lies in the vigour of style. Many ancients have discussed Baozhao?s poetry from this angle, but there haven?t been systematic and thoroughgoing study until today. This thesis has conducted an at- tempt about the topic, and it has been divided into four parts: The first part is the introduction. Through the analyses to Liuxie?s (The Literary Heart and the Carving of Dragons~ The vigour of Style)and its theoretical orginsæ¢'onlrnents on figures, theories about calligraphy and theories about pic- tures, this part has come to the conclusion that the essential factors of the vigour of style are the inherent, vigorous strength and monentum, which are full of in- dividuality, too. The second part has discussed the characteristics of the vigour of style of Baozhao?s poetry from the angles of content, momentum of emotion, image, lan- guage, structure and forms of poetry, then come to the conclusion that Baozhao? s poetry not only has the common factors of the vigour of style, but has formed distinct individual characteristics. The third part has analyzed the reasons for the form of the vigour of style of Baozhao?s poetry from the angles of times, Baozhao?s individuality and circum- stances. The fourth part is the conclusion of this thesis which has indicated that Baozhao had achieved outstanding success in poetry creation and had exerted a profound influence on the poetry creation of later ages because of the factors of the vigour of style. In brief, Baozhao has occupied an important place in the poet- ry history of China which can抰 be neglected.
