The Concept Of Mountains And Literary Writing In Wei,Jin,Southern And Northern Dynasties

The Wei,Jin,Southern and Northern Dynasties was a special era for pursuing aesthetic consciousness.In this period,landscape literature flourished and grew.Mountains have witnessed the history and development of the Chinese nation for thousands of years.They have also become an important object of ancient Chinese literature and have a unique connotation and status in the development of Chinese culture.This paper is divided into five chapters,taking the mountain ideas of Wei,Jin and Southern and Northern Dynasties as the warp and mountain literature writing as the weft,combining the evolution of mountain ideas with literary writing,by integrating the mountain literature writing of Wei,Jin and Southern and Northern Dynasties and carrying out thematic research,giving consideration to the mountain ideas and literary writing of the previous dynasties.This paper analyzes and discusses mountain literature writing from four perspectives: belief and imagination,sacrifice and ritual,description and geography,and seclusion and life.Through the difference of writing state,writing pattern and mountain ideas reflected in different themes,this paper summarizes the uniqueness of mountain literature writing in Wei,Jin,Southern and Northern Dynasties,and analyzes the reasons behind it,world outlook and spiritual connotation.At the same time,the paper discusses the inspiration of mountains to literary creation,the inspiration of literati’s noble character,and the new picture of the formation of mountain culture field and its formation reasons.The first chapter starts from the theme of belief and imagination,takes mountain worship as the main emotional keynote,highlights the "divinity" endowed by mountains,traces the development stage of mountain worship and briefly expounds the meaning and status of mountains under this theme.It is pointed out that the unique creation of literati around mountains in Wei,Jin,Southern and Northern Dynasties is reflected in the more imagistic treatment of mountain worship--mountain worship has gradually become a collective unconscious creation in literature,and become the literati’s transcendence and fantasy of the real world.At the same time,the study of mountain belief is divided into "belief in mountains" and "belief in mountains".Through the analysis of specific literary works of this period,it is pointed out that in the Wei,Jin,Southern and Northern Dynasties,mountains were regarded as the space of belief.Under the influence of mountain worship thought formed in ancient times,With the unique political and cultural background of Wei,Jin and Southern and Northern Dynasties,the introduction of Buddhism and the development of Taoism became a representative place for the exchange and integration of various cultures.In this process of communication and integration,mountain literature and multi-cultural layer are gradually formed.The second chapter is about sacrifice and ritual writing.Mountain sacrifice and ritual,as behaviors produced under the influence of mountain worship,are closely related to the mountain imagination laid down in ancient times,but different from them,as important activities under the control of the king and the ruler,the starting point of their behaviors is more related to political rule.This chapter focuses on the discussion of the political significance of mountains,namely the relationship between mountain sacrificial rituals and feudal kingship and dynasty.The Wei,Jin,Southern and Northern Dynasties inherited the integrated national mountain god system,and mountain sacrifice became more of a means to promote the legitimacy of the regime in the turbulent times.Even after the Hu regime entered China in the Northern Dynasty,the mountain sacrifice ceremony was inherited.At the same time,it analyzes the folk collective prayer activities for mountains derived from mountain worship,and points out that this phenomenon is the manifestation of the downward movement of the sacred nature of mountains,which paved the way for the mountains to gradually enter daily life and become places for scholars to visit and live.The third chapter is about description and geography,based on the unique features of the geographic records of Wei,Jin and Southern and Northern Dynasties,it analyzes the image of mountains in the geographic themes represented by the geographic records,and analyzes the reasons why the geographic records of Wei,Jin and Southern and Northern Dynasties pay attention to the landscape.During this period,the description of mountains and nature in the geography and the description of nature in the literary works showed a mutual influence and mutual promotion.The literalization and physicochemistry of mountain descriptions were influenced by mountain literature,and also played a role in promoting the further development of mountain literature.The increasing proportion of mountains in the geoglyph also proves that during this period,people’s attitude towards mountains changed from awe to exploration and appreciation.The fourth chapter is seclusion and life writing,which is also the focus of this paper.The first section,based on the mountain as a place of seclusion,analyzes the change of the idea of seclusion and the reasons,and points out the attraction of the space in the mountain to the scribes,especially the frustrated scribes.The second section pushes forward this concept,and analyzes the description of mountain life and the construction of mountain aesthetics in literary works from the perspective of the ideas and attitudes of scholars towards mountains,that is,from the perspective of traveling to living in mountains.It connects the unique cultural phenomena of the Wei,Jin,Southern and Northern Dynasties,such as the collection of literati and the tour of mountains,and analyzes some important historical figures and their literary creation.The third section is the analysis of the description techniques and literati mentality.The change of perspective brought a brand new viewing and description mode,and made a unique contribution to the progress of nature and nature view in Wei,Jin,Southern and Northern Dynasties and even the whole Chinese literature.At the same time,it analyzes the views and attitudes of the literati on the mountain space and the real space,and points out that the mountain world and the real society should not be independent and separate,but linked and inseparable.The development and integration of new space is the embodiment of high personality and humanism in this period.Under the interaction of multiple literary themes,the characteristics of "cultural field" of mountains are gradually forming.The fifth chapter is the construction of mountain concept and mountain imagination,which is the summary and sublimation of the whole text.This paper analyzes and summarizes the new change of mountain space and the reason for the formation of mountain culture layer in Wei,Jin and Southern and Northern Dynasties respectively from the perspective of mountain spirit connotation and mountain culture layer.From the "help of rivers and mountains" to the "sublimity",from the inheritance of holiness to the formation of culture,the evolution of mountain concept and the formation of spiritual connotation not only reflect the unique progress of The Times of Wei,Jin,Southern and Northern Dynasties,but also reflect the transformation and progress of ancient mythological thinking to the philosophical thinking and aesthetic thinking in the Middle Ages,which is an important literary and cultural phenomenon.
