Songs Of Chu And Han Lyric Ode Comparative Study

The thesis is trying to classify the Han Rhapsody by text. There is a kind of Han Rhapsody that can be labelled as lyrical which is shaped variously as time goes by in Han dynasty. In early Han dynasty, it can be called Sao,dialogue while JiXing in the middle and YanZhi in the late dynasty, all are nourished by ChuCi concerning the spirit, lyrical model and language. The language of ChuCi have been imitated by Han Rhapsody all the time, some even been copied. Studious spirit is also inherited. As time moves, the spirit of Han Rhapsody goes far away from ChuCi. They are critical but not furious at the beginning, and then old Chuang thought, finally they understand what the politics is, and get their own judgment. They convert the aim from politics to enjoyment. The depiction of fairyland in ChuCi is romantic while in Han Rhapsody logy and lifeless. They seems pay more attention to the real life. The Han lyrical Rhapsody progressed on the basis of ChuCi. The language inherited the soul of ChuCi, but the author's innovation makes language of Rhapsody more beautiful and accurate, which can express the emotion more exactly. They achieved much in scenery depicting, that is to impenetrate with author's emotion. In the late Han dynasty, the language of lyrical Rhapsody becomes more mature, some even parallel. Besides, the core spirit is also changed, all these differentiate the lyrical Rhapsody from ChuCi, and drive it on it's own path. The progress that Lyrical Rhapsody got obviously nourished the literature in Wei and Jin dynasty.
