The Study Of Jiao Ran’s Dialectical Chinese Poetic Theory

Jiao Ran is a poet in Tang dyasty,hisliteratu re theory is not only a conclusion ofWei-Jin dyastyliterature,but also guides creatings of Han Yu and LiuZongyuan.He is agreat artistic theoriesist after Liu Xie and ZhongRong.Compared with formertheoriesist,Jiao Ran’s idea has a dialecticarelationship,connecting emotion and artisticalskills perfectly.And it has formed a paradigm that affects Chinesepoems.”Zuo-yong”,”Xing-qing”,”qu-jing”stands for his main ideas.There is a dialectical structure in traditional Chinese poetic theory that poets notonly must be learned but should present knowledge in an artistic way.Jiao Ran’s“zuo-yong” said makes this view illuminated.In his opinion,“Zhi”,core factor ofknowledge,plays an important role in creating poetry, but “Li”makes it possible for awork to be finished.Superficiallyspeaki-ng, Jiao Ran avoids using allusions tocreatpoetry,he prefers to treat tradition literature ma-terials as important clues whichguide readers to understand works essentially. Last but not l-east,Jiao Ran attaches greatimportance to artistic conception in his system,giving a paradigm to the whole history oftradition Chinese literature theory. On the one hand,Jiao Ran’s poetic the-orymake asummary to the knowledge concept from Wei dynasty.On the other hand, it has a greateffect on literature theory in Qing dynasty.As a Buddhist, Jiao Ran’s theory is full of the philosophy called “EmptyMind”,which can be concluded from his opinion of temperameng. For one thing, hetreats “feeling” as the most important element of the poem, sterming from Liu Xie andZhengRong. In Liu Xie”s eye, there is a dialectical relationgship between “feeling” and“genre”. As a result, he insists the point of “deep feeling as well as not indecent”. As weall know confucianism think our feeling shoud be elegant and Liu Xie learns from thisview. ZhongRong, however, attaches much importance to individual’s feelings, so“plaintive psychology”has some positions in his literature theory. For another, insteadof appreciating addicted emotion, Jiao Ran takes an active attitude towards religiousfeelings. What’s more, the poem that depict interesting and idle thing have very highposition in his theory. To get this goal, Jiao Ran removes the negetive emotion byZen,creating a text with relaxed and lively strength. Of course, this is a dialecticalrelationship.Jiao Ran’ artistic conception lie a foundation on Chinese artistic conception.Believing the emotion can be enlarged by the strength called “Shi”,hepenetrates this strength with whole artistic work. Just as he puts,the “Xing”has a lot ofkinds,for it contributes to the poem, while the main category “Shi” is consistency. On theother hand,Jiao Ran would not indulge himself in this irrational strength,so he insiststhat poets should depict something out of the “Xiang”.As a consquence of this opinion,the “Jing” in Jiao Ran’s view is quiet misty, consisting with mang scenes clips.In a word,Jiao Ran’s literature theory has a dialectical structure,whichsterms fromWei-Jin dyasty and affects almost every theoriesits.He arise the idea that poets shouldpay attention to knowledge and emotion.Discusing this will have an positive effect onChinese poems creating.
