The Stylistic Construction of Rhymed Poetry and the Cultural Tradition of Rituals and Music (hardcover) (three Volumes in Total)
by Zhang Guoan
About This Novel
The content of this book is mainly composed of three dimensions of interrelated and mutually supporting basic propositions or opinions and their examination and argumentation: First, the "style" of traditional Chinese literature is a metonymy and symbol of "ritual style", while the verse style is its gestalt, which deeply involves the "literati"'s choice of language, behavior and construction of ideal personality. Secondly, the linguistic foundation of traditional Chinese literary styles is "Classical Chinese"; the Chinese language with its subjective unity is actually "Classical Chinese", and "Classical Chinese" was formed in the process of the transformation of Chinese prehistoric society from the form of "ritual and ritual culture" to the institutional form of "ritual and music civilization". It is a normative language that is not a natural language and has a natural connection with political ideology. Third, the structural contradictions of "classical Chinese", which are integrated and heterogeneous in "language and text", constitute the internal driving force for the development of "classical Chinese". Its historical development contains the internal logic of the trend of traditional Chinese literary style towards parallelism, poetry towards rhythmic style, and its transformation in response to the current situation. The whole book regards the stylistic construction of rhythmic poetry as an aspect of the generation and evolution of the vital Chinese ritual and music cultural tradition, and examines it as a whole, and then unfolds the presentation and revelation of the history and logic of the stylistic construction of rhythmic poetry.
