The gathering of literati in the Northern Song Dynasty prevailed.Sumen,as one of the important literary groups in the Northern Song Dynasty,became an important literary phenomenon in the literary world of the Northern Song Dynasty.The thesis mainly studies Sumen Rally,Sumen Rally Poetry,and Sumen Rally Poetry Criticism.A relatively complete statistical summary of the Sumen rallies was made,and 284 Sumen rallies were sorted out.Organizing the Sumen assemblies into a table in chronological order.From the perspective of the Sumen Rally,the members of the Sumen Rally were redefined,totaling 202 people.Based on a large amount of statistics,the development process of the Sumen Rallies was divided into three periods: the budding period,the heyday period,and the decline period.It is believed that the period from the first visit to Su Shi by Wang Gong in the second year of Xining(1069)to the death of Ouyang Xiu in the fifth year of Xining(1072)was the germination period of Sumen.The iconic event of the establishment of Su Men was the first visit to Su Shi by Wang Gong in December of Xining(1069),marking the beginning of the formation of Su Men.The heyday of the Sumen rally was from the six years of Xining(1073)to the eight years of Yuanyou(1093).During the year of Yuanyou,the pattern of Sixueshi and Liujunzi of Sumen was formed.The decline period of the Sumen rally was from the first year of Shao Sheng(1094)to the first year of Jianzhong Jingguo(1101).During this period,the members of Sumen were repeatedly relegated.Collected 19 gatherings of Sumen in the budding period,236 meetings of Sumen’s heyday,29 meetings of the Sumen decline period,and discussed important rallies in detail.Sumen’s budding period rallies focused on farewell more.Sumen’s heyday rallies also focused on farewell,followed by meeting and feast.The gatherings during the declining period of the Sumen were mostly those of the Sumen members on the way of relegation.They were mostly about travelling,however rallies of banquets were rarely seen.Sort out the poems produced in the Sumen rallies,and use the rallies as a guide to sort out the poetry creation in the rallies.Based on the content theme,the Sumen assembly poems are divided into six types of themes including farewell poems,chanting poems,meeting poems,landscape poems,nostalgic poems,and chanting history poems.Poetry of each theme type presents different characteristics in different periods of Sumen: farewell poems are optimistic inthe germination period,and they hope that they could be keep away from politics and enjoy their life;farewell poems express their sense of life experience and have the most fruitful results;they wanna be hermits.The chanting poems in the budding period is different by occasion,and in their point of view,the poetry and painting are integrated;the theme of the chanting poems in the heyday period is expanded,and the content is rich;The sympathy and blessings of the meeting poems in the budding period;the poetry of the meeting poems in the heyday period changes with the circumstances,and the content is diverse;the meeting poems in the declining period describe the idyllic joy.The landscape poems in the budding period were simple and plain,quite interesting;the landscape poems in the heyday period had many discussions and were rich in philosophy;the landscape poems in the decline period described the concept and integrated religion.The chanting history poems and nostalgic poems began to emerge in the heyday of Sumen.Discussing the poetic criticism of the Sumen rallies,it is divided into three categories:poetry function theory,poetry creation theory,and poetry writing skills theory.From the perspective of poetry function theory,Sumen literati advocated that articles should be used in the present time,and attach importance to the social function of literature.From the perspective of poetry creation theory,it is divided into four parts: accumulation and practice,poet writing,fusion of poetry and painting,and the theory of Kongjing.Sumen literati attaches great importance to reading accumulation and witting practice.It’s means that promoting poet writing,we must first observe the object deeply,then describe it by writing.Poetry and painting are interlinked.The creation of poetry should accommodate as many things as possible and penetrate into the essence.From the perspective of poetry writing skills,there are mainly three categories:syntax,Jingbing,and allusions.The Sumen literati pursued syntactical innovation and were not confined to common customs.They put forward their own sopinions on the sentence pattern and duality;they discussed the Xian Yun of Jing Bing and did not avoid narrow rhymes;These poetry theories are also practiced in Sumen rally poetry.
