Research On The Phenomenon Of Quting The Book Of Songs In The Western Han Dynasty Memorials

The dynasty memorials is important in the history of ancient literary prose,the Western Han Dynasty memorials can be represented in it.Quting is also a common phenomenon of ancient prose creation in China.It started in the pre-Qin period.It was most popular in the Western Han Dynasty,the chapters of the book of songs plays frequently appeared in the Western Han Emperors Dahir and subjects discussion,discussion plays especially.Therefore,on the basis of summarizing the preservation and compilation of the memorials and the development of the study of the Book of Songs,and based on the reference to the book of songs by discussion plays of the Western Han Dynasty,the Western Han Dynasty was divided into three stages,the first,the middle and the latter.According to the order of time,analyzing the citation of the Book of songs in the specific context,and sorting it according to the different topics of discussion plays discussion,which can be seen in three stages.The evolution of discussion plays's theme also analyses the characteristics of the introduction of"poetry"in three stages.The second chapter mainly studies the quotation of the Book of Songs in the preliminary preambles of the Western Han Dynasty.It took sixty-six years from Emperor Gaozu of Han Dynasty to Emperor Jingdi of Han Dynasty.It was the rising period of social politics in the Western Han Dynasty.The lack of governance strategies stimulated the creation of memorial prose.The main content of this period's minister's writing is to sum up the experience of Qin Dynasty's subjugation and to make suggestions for the new dynasty.However,due to the low birth of the main officials in the early Western Han Dynasty and the popularity of Huangdi and Laozhuang thoughts,the quotation of the Book of Songs in the memorial is not widespread,and it shows the characteristics of"less and more concentrated"both in the identity of the author and in the content of the discussion.The third chapter mainly studies the citation of the Book of Songs in the Mid-Western Han Dynasty.With the frequent changes in the political system,ministers either express their political opinions or recommend themselves,and many memorials have emerged.In addition,Confucianism began to receive the attention of the rulers.Emperor Wudi of Han Dynasty"Depose a hundred schools of thought and respect Confucianism alone",so Confucianism gained greater space for development.Accordingly,the Confucian classics represented by the Book of Songs played a practical role in the memorial.Although Emperor Wu established Confucianism as an official doctrine,he believed in the calumny even more in his later years.Therefore,the memorial of the Book of Songs was mostly discussed from two aspects:how to be a clear emperor and how to avoid the calumny.The time between Emperor Zhaodi of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Xuandi of the Han Dynasty,how to face the absurdity and inhumanity of the Changyi King has become an important issue.During the reign of Emperor Xuandi of the Han Dynasty,the rhetoric of quoting the Book of Songs was mostly focused on specific administrative matters.Compared with the early Western Han Dynasty,the number of quotations of the Book of Songs in the mid-Western Han Dynasty memorials has increased,and the identity of the author has become more diverse.However,the political thoughts used by emperors were apparently Confucianism,but in fact Legalists.They decorated politics with Confucianism.Therefore,when they quoted the Book of Songs,there appeared the characteristics of stereotyping.The fourth chapter mainly studies the citation of the Book of Songs in the late Western Han Dynasty.Due to political,economic and social reasons,the late Western Han Dynasty entered a recession period.But Emperor Yuan liked Confucianism,which was the largest in the late Western Han Dynasty under the impetus of a series of policies.As the proportion of Confucian scholars in the composition of officials rose sharply and the preference of emperors,several ministers who liked to quote the Book of Songs in their memorials appeared in this period,such as Kuang Heng,Liu Xiang and Gu Yong.Kuang Heng quoted the Commentary of the Book of Songs slowly,with little direct irony and more layers of guidance;Liu Xiang used the Yin and Yang of the Speech of the Book of Songs as a weapon to attack political opponents;Gu Yong selectively reflected political issues in content,reflecting his political position,while formally continuing the trend of medium-term stereotyping.At the same time,the thought of disasters in Yin and Yang prevailed,and the ministers often quoted classical theories to deduce disasters,talk about people's livelihood and persuade the emperor.During this period,the number of quotations from the Book of Songs increased sharply,showing the characteristics of heavy disasters,light auspicious,and strong practical pertinence.In addition,in the introduction of the Book of Songs,the purpose of the introduction of the Book of Songs is no longer as simple as the original statement of political views.Some of the memorials focus on the presentation of their own school of thought to the emperor while addressing disasters.The fifth chapter studies the two-way interaction between the memorial and the Book of Songs in the Western Han Dynasty.On the one hand,the introduction of the memorial style to the Book of Songs is a kind of politicized acceptance.It represents the change of the political status and role of the Book of Songs in the Western Han Dynasty.The change of the political trend will imperceptibly affect the trend of interpreting the Book of Songs and saying the Book of Songs.The introduction of the Book of Songs in the memorial plays a practical role in promoting the evolution of the interpretation of the Politicization of the Book of Songs.The multi-orientation of meaning under the political transcendence also directly affects the interpretation of prophecy and latitude in The Book of Songs.On the other hand,with Confucianism gradually occupying the mainstream among scholars,the increasing number of quotations in the Book of Songs,the Confucian classics represented by the Book of Songs,in turn,influenced the change of the style of the memorial,which played an important role in the process of the change of the style of the memorial in the Western Han Dynasty from straightforward and incisive to heavy and refined,and from direct to ironic.
