What Makes a Poem: the Inheritance of Ideas and the Generation of Meaning in the Poetry of the Six Dynasties
About This Novel
The literati class during the Six Dynasties participated in cultural inheritance in a unique and mosaic way and produced exponentially growing cultural wealth. Tian Ling, a professor of Chinese literature at Rutgers University in the United States, used the theory of intertextuality in Western literary theory to examine allusions and citations. He carefully read the poems and poems of Ji Kang, Sun Chuo, Tao Yuanming, Xie Lingyun, and Lanting poets, and explored their complex connections with traditional cultural classics such as Laozi, Zhuangzi, Zhouyi, and even the Book of Songs, Songs of Chu, and the Analects of Confucius. The poets wrote poems between philosophy and literature, creatively used heterogeneous, diverse and ever-changing texts and cultural resources, and demonstrated their colorful creative talents, ideas and inner worlds.
