Wang Anshi's Reasoning Essay Research

Wang Anshi is the main advocate and implementor of "Xi 'Ning reform",and he is listed as one of the "eight masters of Tang and Song dynasties".Historically,the study of Wang Anshi has been focused on his aspect as a politician,especially his "reform"activities,while Wang Anshi's literary creation,the study of poetry is a focus,prose research is somewhat inferior.In the southern Song dynasty,Chen Shan regarded Jing Gong's prose as one of the independent writers of the Song dynasty,and affirmed Wang's innovation and innovation in the Song dynasty.As one of the "eight masters of the Tang and Song dynasties" and an important force of the "ancient prose movement",Wang Anshi had the highest official position and the greatest political influence compared with the other seven.In the process from sitting to walking,Wang Anshi is undoubtedly a great transition figure.He is the ultimate embodiment of the ancient literati's pursuit of political ideals.The study of Wang Anshi's prose is helpful to obtain the direct impression of historical characters from literary texts,and to understand Wang Anshi's position in the "ancient prose movement" more deeply.This paper is divided into four parts to analyze Wang Anshi's argumentative prose.The first chapter,"Wang Anshi's view of wen and dao",focuses on expounding the development and origin of Wang Anshi's view of "wen" and "dao" from the perspective of ideological history,and explains and analyzes the specific content of Wang Anshi's view of wen and dao.Wang anshi's view of wen and dao is developed on the basis of inheriting the relationship between wen and dao.It can be traced back to Han Yu's "dao unification" and "wen yi ming dao".The proximate cause is the choice and compromise of Liu Kai,Shi Jie,Ouyang Xiu and so on.On the relationship between "wen" and"dao",Wang Anshi emphasized that "wen" is the vehicle of "dao",so he put the decoration of language in a secondary position.On the function of prose,Wang Anshi mentioned many times that "prose is based on application",and paid attention to the realistic character of prose.Wang anshi's view of wen and dao has a narrow side,but it is by no means an extreme view of "composition harms dao".The second chapter,"contents of Wang Anshi's argumentative prose",extracts and classifies the articles with argumentative and rational nature in Wang Anshi's ancient texts,and reveals Wang Anshi's political views,ideological dynamics and moral integrity from the works themselves.From the four aspects of the political reform of the imagination,the discussion of the concept of talent,the evaluation of historical figures,the expression of personal feelings and aspirations,carefully read the literature text,understand the world,with the intention of the opposition,understand the author in the tide of the reform,understand the author in the historical tide in the words and feelings,trying to restore the history of the real Wang Anshi.The third chapter,"the stylistic characteristics of Wang Anshi's argumentative prose",is consistent with the literary concept of "the prose must pass through the road".The stylistic characteristics of Wang Anshi's prose are determined by the content of the article.The overall style of Wang Anshi's ancient prose can be summarized in four words:"thin and hard to pass god".Or rhyme;Or short and sweet.Generally speaking,the language is natural and plain,and the way of reasoning is simple and clear.It is worth noting that Wang Anshi was regarded as the reincarnated Mencius at that time.By comparing Wang Anshi's prose with the chapters in Mencius,it is concluded that Mencius'own cultivation inspired Wang Anshi,rather than the similarities in the style of the articles.On the contrary,Xunzi,who was the master of the warring states period,had similarities with Wang Anshi in his writings.In addition,Wang Anshi's prose became a unique part of the prose creation of the Song dynasty by using classics and classics,which contributed to the formation of the "jingyiwen" in the Northern Song dynasty.The fourth chapter,"a comparison between Wang Anshi and Han Yu's argumentation prose",Han Yu's "eight generations of decline of prose,the world of daoji",he vigorously called for stylistic reform and the revival of Confucianism by means of his own creation and encouragement.One of the most important measures in Wang Anshi's reform was the reform of the imperial examination.It can be said that he single-handedly regulated the creative atmosphere of the literary world at that time.The two both made great contributions to the prosperity and development of ancient literature in different ways.Through the comparison of Han Yu and Wang Anshi's prose creation,we can not only reflect the personality of Wang Anshi's prose,but also see the track and style of the movement of ancient prose from another side.
