Late-Tang Dynasty Fu And Its Relations With Yu Xin Fu

The atmosphere of Late-Tang and Five Dynasties,facing with decline,corruption and tribulation,has been very different from other times that intellectuals haven't got their deserved fame and reputation.Especially around the Huang Chao uprising,the current situation and political affairs make people more despair,intellectuals couldn't find the road to realize their dream.As a result,a lot of underprivileged people and bureaucratic bottoms emerged from the society.They showed angry at the disadvantages of the government and also disappointed with the times and the country.Shaped in words,its style is very dangerous,cynical,and even scold the world furiously.At that time,poetry,prose and other elegant literature have embodied more obvious sentimental and cynical ideological characteristics.No matter what style,most writings are both self-wounded life experience and ironic meaning.In terms of the literature creation of Fu,some distinguished people who is good at Fu's creation has been appeared,such as Xie Guan,Wang Qi,Pi Rixiu,Lu Guimeng,Huang Tao,Xu Yin,Luo Yin and so on.Some of them have a collection of essays that is different from the former.The upheaval in Late-Tang Dynasty and their bitter experience made their writings to show a different sense of desolation from the most prosperous age of Tang Dynasty.Some writers showed the intensely criticism to the reality.And other writers disappointed with the reality,who chose to retire into the country or indulged in sensual pleasures and entertainment.So their works also shows seclusion ideas and decadent emotions.In a word,whatever the writing's purpose,it have a distinctive literature characteristics of the age of decadence.The four hundred years of Wei Jin Southern and Northern Dynasties has been full of separatist chaos and turbulence,which the situation was similar to the sustained political upheaval in Late-Tang and Five Dynastiesis.Even though the disordered times caused all sorts of misfortune.There is no doubt that the situation also broughtnew approaches and opportunities to literature creation,at least providing new theme,subject and style different from in the peace and prosperity Dynasty.Moreover,the times of chaos can create literary giants as well,Yu Xin is a representative writer of them.He is one of the most important writers in the period of the two hundred years when is from the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty to the early flourishing Tang Dynasty.Yu Xin is the pioneer of Sui Tang Dynasties' literature in terms of the poem,Fu and parallel prose.Although the quantity of Fu is few,but all of them are famous.The achievements of Fu are particularly high,which was regarded as the typical works in Tang Dynasty.So Yu Xin Fu have a big influence on the authors of Tang Dynasty.Yu Xin composed Fu in the two different periods of Liang Dai and Northern Zhou Dynasties.Due to the difference of life experience and personal identity,his writings have various subject categories and artistic style.If we chose to overlook its internal differences and regard it as an entirety,the subject contain devices,search hunting,room,vegetation,personnel,words and other categories according to their predecessors.It has different ideological connotations,artistic style and cultural function.The content of Fu include war turmoil,a sage absent,the scenery,the personnel and they respectively embodied lyrical,documentary,scientific,knowledge.Yu Xin Fu with a high language art paid special attention to duality,temperament,tone,allusion,rhetoric.Because of its diversity in the content and classics in the art,Yu Xin can find some bosom friends in Tang Dynasty.Tang Fu has got an impact from Northern and Southern Dynasties,especially from Yu Xin.The similarities include the subject type of similar,sentence style of poetry,flatten rhyme rhyme of the law,diversity of rhetoric,the elegance of language and many other aspects.In short,because of the atmosphere of the times,life experience,personal aesthetic and other reasons,Fu in Late-Tang and Five Dynasties with subject type,ideological content,creative style,formal skills and other aspects showed some degree of similarity with Yu Xin Fu.There are some writings that can be regarded asobvious inheritance and acceptance.Another part are only partial similar,not all intentional imitation.Yu Xin's creating style,including smooth and beautiful style in early stage,depressed and vigorous style in late stage,have things in common with the writers' style in Late-Tang Dynasty.So they also have similarities in the artistic style.Of course,as a literary genrem with many writers' participation and having a rich accumulation and profound connotation,Late-Tang and Five Dynasties Fu is not true simple inherit or one-sided imitate Yu Xin and other predecessors in most cases.Most writings show up subjective creation of individuals in Late-Tang and Five Dynasties Fu,such as the subject of the expansion,the theme of the deepening,the content of the rich,the dual of the neat.Late-Tang and Five Dynasties Fu are different from the predecessors,even exceeded predecessors.There are more writings that reflect the reality and reveal the dark in the contents.In the artistic aspect,influenced by the lyrical traditions of Wei Jin Southern and Northern Dynasties and the horizontal infiltration of the Tang poems and Tang parallel prose,Late-Tang and Five Dynasties Fu pay more attention to the vividness of the image and the vividness of the language.Besides,there are new changes that made Fu like essay because of the rise and persistence of the Classical Movement,that is different from Lv Fu with tidy sentence structure in Tang Dynasty.At the same time,writers create Lv Fu in Tang Dynasty on the basis of the Qi Liang Fu.Although these works are mainly for the examination and most of them are facing with empty content,but they are full of the beauty of language art,including colorful language and fine form.At the same time,scene-description Fu can spread the different cultural knowledge.In particular,Late Tang and Five Dynasties Fu exceed the predecessors' Fu in the dual,flat and rhyme,which showing writers' humanity qualities and literary connotation in Late-Tang and Five Dynasties.As a “poetic kingdom” of the Tang Dynasty,Late-Tang and Five Dynasties Fu show its difference from the previous generation.The main reasons for this new series are that the long-term accumulation of the creative literature in the early Tang Dynasty,the strengthening of the subject consciousness,the mutual penetration between the style and so on.In short,just like poetry and parallel prose,Late-Tang and Five Dynasties Fu have clear deepening and fine writing characteristics in the whole.Under the influence of various subjective and objective factors,a series of new changes occurred in Late-Tang and Five Dynasties Fu.These new changes have enriched the ideological connotation and writing art,which marked the achievements of Fu in the new era and had a direct influence on the writing of the Song Dynasty Fu.
