A Study On Immortal Writing In Yuefu Poetry Of Wei,Jin And Southern And Northern Dynasties

The worship of gods is a unique cultural phenomenon with a long history.It has always occupied an important position in the hearts of ancient Chinese people,carrying their yearning for a better life and their inner feelings.At the same time,immortals have also become important materials for literary creation.People resort their fantasies about immortals to words to write about the image and world of immortals in their minds.Based on the Yuefu poems of Wei,Jin and Southern and Northern Dynasties,this paper studies the content involving imgods from four aspects.The first chapter traces the literary origin of the fairy writing of Yuefu poetry in the Wei,Jin and Southern and Northern Dynasties,and discusses the historical background of its emergence.As early as in the pre-Qin period,immortals had become the material of literary creation.Classics of Mountains and Seas,Poems of Chu and Zhuang Zi were all written about immortals,which opened the precedent of immortals in later literature.During the two Han Dynasties,due to the development of celestial thoughts,the writing of celestial beings in Han Fu and Han Yuefu poems was not only more frequent but also richer than that in the pre-Qin period,which inspired the writing of celestial beings in Yuefu poems of Wei,Jin and Southern and Northern Dynasties.The emergence of Taoism in the late Eastern Han Dynasty promoted the development of the idea of immortals,which made many people in this period believe in immortals,and the whole society was filled with a strong atmosphere of seeking immortals.At the same time,the Wei,Jin and Southern and Northern Dynasties were plagued by social unrest and war.People often felt insecure,so they regarded the gods as spiritual sustenance and means to escape reality.Under such a background,a large number of immortal writings appeared in Yuefu poems of Wei,Jin,Southern and Northern Dynasties.The second chapter is a comprehensive study of the celestial images in Yuefu poems of Wei,Jin and Southern and Northern Dynasties.Due to the different writing subjects,the fairy image writing in Yuefu poems of Wei,Jin,Southern and Northern Dynasties showed different features in the sacrificial songs,literati Yuefu poems and folk Yuefu works "Song of Gods and Strings",which also contained different cultural connotations.Suburban worship song dictionary writing god image reflects the will of the ruling class;The gods in the folk Yuefu poems show the local cultural characteristics and the simple belief of the people.The immortals in the literati Yuefu poems express their unique feelings and pursuits.In addition,through the analysis of the Western Queen mother,Wang Ziqiao and the Huainan King,this chapter finds that most of the fairies in the Yuefu poems of Wei,Jin and Southern and Northern dynasties are mainly based on fairy stories and historical books,and in the special era of Wei,Jin and Southern and Northern Dynasties,Taoism was incorporated into the fairy system,so as to appear in the Yuefu poems of Wei,Jin and Southern and northern dynasties as Taoist gods.The third chapter focuses on the fairy world of Yuefu poems in Wei,Jin,Southern and Northern Dynasties.The construction of the celestial world in Yuefu poems of Wei,Jin,Southern and Northern Dynasties involves four aspects: food,clothing,housing and transportation.In the clothing,the immortal cloud Yi neon clothes,wear supernatural accessories,thus creating a floating out of the dust fairy realm;In diet,the gods do not eat grains,most of the food they eat is some rare and valuable things,so as to be different from human beings;In terms of living environment,most immortals live in the celestial palace and the Kunlun Penglai.Due to the development of Taoism,"all famous mountains and rivers are fairyland",immortals sometimes live in the famous mountains on earth.At the same time,in the construction of fairyland,often use a variety of strange animals and plants to embellish fairyland;Finally,the travel mode of the gods is also unique.The gods travel by riding the clouds and wind,or driving the gods,or they have long feathers and can fly when they become featherers.The fourth chapter explores the thinking mode reflected in the fairy writing of Yuefu poems in Wei,Jin and Southern and Northern Dynasties.From the Angle of "common and unusual",from two aspects of the analysis.On the one hand,in shaping the image of immortals,the secular characteristics of immortals show the characteristics of "human" in real life and their normal life experience,which can be regarded as "Chang".At the same time,immortals have the ability to "change",which makes them different from "ordinary people",reflecting the "very".On the other hand,the construction of the celestial world is also interwoven with this mode of thinking.Under the "Chang" thinking,the life style of the immortal is like the reproduction of People’s Daily life,and the fairyland is more like the human environment.Under the "extraordinary" thinking,the life style of the immortal shows a "extraordinary" aspect that is difficult for mortals to reach.
