Study On The Gentleness And Sincerity Thought Of The Literary Mind And The Carving Of Dragons

"Gentleness and sincerity" refers to the gentle and generous spirit and personality ideal of Confucian poetic teaching.It also refers to the euphemistic way of containing the meaning of praise and satire in poetry,and the rich and far-reaching style characteristics of literature and art.In the pre Qin and Han Dynasties,the thought of "gentleness and sincerity" mainly emphasized the edification function and practical significance,Liu Xie’s The Literary Mind and the Carving of Dragons not only continued this tradition,but also paid attention to the aesthetic factors of poetics,inheriting and developing the idea of "gentleness and sincerity" from the pre Qin and Han dynasties in terms of literary origins,stylistic development,article writing and literary criticism,and forming a more mature poetic term that influenced poetics and literary theory after the Sui and Tang dynasties.Specifically speaking,first of all,some concepts and propositions in The Literary Mind and the Carving of Dragons,such as "expressing emotion","gentleness and sincerity " and so on,have a literal or meaningful connection with the poetic teaching in the pre Qin and Han Dynasties,and have the function of integration;Secondly,from the literary origin theory of The Literary Mind and the Carving of Dragons,"Tao" has multiple implications.The combination of Confucianism and Taoism formed a new trend of metaphysics,which transcends the ritual system and allows nature.Therefore,Liu Xie transcended the limitation of the Han Dynasty’s emphasis on political ethics in poetic teaching,transformed poetic teaching thought into poetics theory,and expanded it into article theory,literary theory,and paid attention to the characteristics of literature and art;Thirdly,from the stylistic theory and literary creation theory of The Literary Mind and the Carving of Dragons,Liu Xie began to pay attention to the literary characteristics and realized the harmony between politics and nature.For example,poetry originated from emotion but thought was innocent.Fu also pursued satirical and remonstrating meaning in describing things.For Yuefu,he put forward the idea that"poetry is music heart and sound is music style",inherited the Confucian music education ideal of"elegant chanting,warm and respectful"and"Neutralization",and attached equal importance to educational Significances and the beauty of music form,exploring"Bixing"from the perspective of literary and artistic expression,so that this kind of poetry teaching method closely associated with praise,satire and remonstrance was expanded into the most important expression method of literature and art,forming the important style characteristics of literature and art with rich and far-reaching implication;Fourth,The Literary Mind and the Carving of Dragons developed the concept of"gentleness and sincerity"poetry education,which is characterized by literature and art mainly expressing emotions,emotion out of nature,writers with special talents,articles and literary education with the characteristics of"beautiful words and subtle metaphors",and made it as a representative category and proposition of poetics and literature and art in ancient Chinese literature and art thought.From the whole book of The Literary Mind and the Carving of Dragons,Liu Xie gradually applied this term into literary creation and aesthetic appreciation in his inheritance and reconstruction of "gentleness and sincerity".In this way,the ideology of "gentle and sincerity" entered the deeper field of poetics,involving all aspects of poetics and literary theory,enriching the term system of literary theory,influencing the development of poetics after the Six Dynasties,and establishing the importance of this term and terminology in Chinese poetics and literary theory.In modern China and the world of literary theory,its interpretation and research are also important elements in the construction of contemporary literature and art.
