Jiangxi Poetry and Literary Theory in Ming and Qing Dynasties
About This Novel
People in Jiangxi during the Ming and Qing Dynasties read the "Four Books and Five Classics" very diligently, but their achievements in literary creation were not high, and their ideas were even a bit pedantic. The dawn of Jiangxi poetics and literary theory in the Ming Dynasty was brought about by Yangming's philosophy of mind. Tang Xianzu's "emphasis on emotion" literary thought is closely related to Yangming's philosophy of mind. Jiangxi poetics in the Qing Dynasty paid attention to the calligraphy, syntax, and composition of poetry. The literary inquisition had a certain impact on Jiangxi literati. For example, Xie Qikun, a native of Nankang, failed to investigate and deal with the literary inquisition during his tenure, which affected his life-long creation and scholarly direction. In the late Qing Dynasty, the awareness of worry became the main theme of modern literary criticism. The works of Wen Tingshi, Wei Yuankuang and others who were worried about times and chaos are reflections of the trend of this era. During this period, there were many compilations summarizing regional literary theory and thought, such as Guo Zizhang's "Yuzhang Poetry" and Qiu Junhong's "Xijiang Poetry" in twelve volumes, etc., Which have important reference value for us to write the history of regional literature and literary thought today.
