Poetic Research On Yuefu Poems In The Northern Dynasties

The Yuefu in Northern Dynas ties is an indispensable part of Yuefu culture.On the basis of previous research,this article will research the Yuefu in Northern Dynasties from a poetic point of view,including the "history of poetry","poetic principle"," the history of poetics" and "compilation and collation".The first chapter "history of poetry" is the summary about the development of Yuefu.According to the actual developm ent of Yuefu in the Northern Dynasties,we can a nalyze the works that are clos ely related to the c onstruction of court m usic by the prosperity degree of the construction of court music,and we know that the development of such works had experienced a hard time in the Northern Wei Dynasty,a golden era in the middle age of the Noethern Qi and the Noethern Zhou,until fanilly went into the era of decline in the late time of the two dynasties.About the other pa rt,we can do the analysis accoding to the performance of the works and creative thought s,and we know that such works were guided by politics at the very begainning,and gradually went into two directions of "entertaining" and "literary",getting away from the political control.The second chapter is about the part of poetics pr inciple.It is about the theoretical principles of Y uefu development,expl oring the realistic basis and practical significance.This part is divided into five aspects: Firstly,Localization Move ment made “civilizing”an importnt task,which required the construction of Yuefu to be more formal in three ways.Secondly,Yuefu culture has a trad ition of " moving through God",the Y uefu activities in this period gradually abandoned the national custom s,following the Chinese tradition "the concept of Yin and Yang and the Five Elem ents".Thirdly,the government of Northern W ei had tak en the tr adition of “h aving an understanding of public f eelings through folk songs”,which helped a lot to the conservation of folk songs.Fourth,the blend of Hu and Han culture helped the Yuefu in this era to develop in three patterns,which were "extensive colle ctioning ","equal trea t" and "learning new m ethords of playing and composing".These patterns had prom oted the diversity of the development of Yuefu.Finally,the own culture of the Nort hern and the Southern Dynasties and the communication between them had also influenc ed the creation of Y uefu.The creation of Yuefu in Northern Dynasties were more likely to inherit the traditions,while the p olitics and dance culture offered the materials in the creation of the Yuefu works,which made the Yuefu works lively and vivid.Besides,the cult ure in the Southern Dynasties helped to improve the level of the works in N orthern Dynasties in the aspects of “sentence pattern” and “ style of language”.The third chapter "history of poetry" is the analysis of the study of Y uefu in Northern Dynasties in each historical period.According to the analysis,we can know that,from the perspective of researc h ideas,th e litera ry and the textual research had the highest proportion,music research was relatively weak;from the perspective of the study object,the study mainly focused on folk songs,the si mplicity and the truene ss of the songs was considered to be artistic and charm ing by the cr itics in the later;f rom the perspe ctive of the research results,because the res earch objects were conc entrated in certain thin gs,s o the exploration of the study always followed an old routine,which meaned innovation and development was obviously inadeq uate.But that not m eaned the critics in the later were incompetent,but a true reflection of the cr eation of the Y uefu wo rks in the N orthern Dynasites.The fourth chapter is about the " collection of writings " and " tex ting similarities and differences about the poems".By the comparison of different records,collect the works that <Yuefu Poetry> had not been recorded,and tr y to m ake corrections on the wrong words,striving to reveal the whole picture of Yuefu works of the Northern Dynasties.
