Tang and Song Poetry and Garden Plant Aesthetics
by Wang Yuedi
About This Novel
Whether it is Du Fu's arrangement and tailoring of flowers and trees in the thatched cottage, Bai Juyi's controlling and domesticated garden management, or Su Shi's poems about flowers and trees that integrate with the elegant life of literati, the poets of the Tang and Song Dynasties enriched China's aesthetic tradition and raised many important aesthetic topics in the aesthetic practice of garden plants. The first part of this book examines the writing characteristics of garden plants by poets such as Wang Wei, Du Fu, Bai Juyi, Li Deyu, Su Shi, Chao Buzhi, and Yang Wanli. In his works, garden plants are not only symbols of mountain and forest seclusion, objects of natural history recognition, but also treasures for personal collections. Flowers and trees of different identities reflect the complex and profound aesthetic perspectives of literati in the Tang and Song Dynasties. The second part focuses on the classic garden plant images in poems and paintings such as "window bamboo" and "wall flowers and trees", analyzing their common aesthetic connotations across poetry and painting, and more three-dimensionally revealing the aesthetic panorama of garden plants by literati in the Tang and Song Dynasties.
