The anthology as an important carrier of the Spread of Literary Works,it’s not just a collection for people to read,it is also an important form of ancient literary criticism.The Ming Dynasty was a prosperous period for the development of anthology.As a famous poet and scholar in Ming Dynasty,Yang Shen has compiled dozens of anthologies of poems.The scope of its selection,from Pre-Qin Dynasty to Ming Dynasty,almost all dynasties have been involved.The introduction defines the concept of “anthology” and the scope of the anthology written by Yang Shen.The first chapter is an overview of selected poems compiled by Yang Shen.After Ming Dynasty people’s description and publication,most selections of Yang Shen have been effectively preserved and widely circulated.According to my statistics,There are 19 kinds of anthologies of poetry and 2 kinds of anthologies of Ci-poems all over the world.The second section of this chapter focuses on the analysis and discussion of the editions and selections of the surviving anthology in detail.The second chapter discusses the historical background of Yang Shen’s poetry anthology.In the Ming Dynasty,different literary genre held different views,some respecting the Han Wei,the Tang Dynasty,or the liu Chao Dynasty,the debate was very intense.With the evolution of the literature trend of “back to ancients”,the selection of anthology in Ming Dynasty also achieved unprecedented prosperity in the history of anthology.Yang Shen can make so many achievements in anthology creation,the reason was not only influenced by the atmosphere of selection and criticism of Ming dynasty,but also his profound knowledge and the leisure time when he relegated to YunNan.These were the fundamentalreasons and important foundation for him to engage in a large number of anthology and compilation work.The third and fourth chapters are the focus of this paper.It mainly discusses the aesthetic orientation and artistic standard of Yang shen’s choice of the poetry.Through reading these anthologies,I found that Yang Shen selects poems very carefully,and searches quatrain most frequently.And he chose poetry from a wide range of sources,almost every dynasty was included.In addition,examining the source and flow of poetry,paying attention to distinguish the genre are also one of the characteristics of his poetry anthology.Yang Shen selects Ci-poems are mainly from the“Cao Tang Shi Yu” have not included.The purpose is not only to supplement the remains of the“Cao Tang Shi Yu”,but also to provide a new example for the lyricist.It is worth noting that anthologies of Ci-poems which Yang Shen compiled are also includes YueFu Poems of liu Chao Dynasty.In this way,it objectively achieved the purpose of improving the status of Ci-poems.The fifth chapter analyzes the influence of Yang Shen’s selected books on other collections of Ming dynasty.I have selected several representative anthologies to illustrate.The influence is mainly reflected in two aspects:Let the Six Dynasties poetry re-entered the vision of the Ming Dynasty electors,and provides a new example for later generations to choose poems from;The scope of selection of Ci-poems was expanded,and it promoted the compilation of anthologies of Ci-poems in the late Ming Dynasty to diversify..
