Poetry and History in Medieval Literature
About This Novel
The relationship between poetry and history in medieval literature is very subtle and intricate. It is common for poetry and history to intersect with each other. Historical narratives or historical allusions often appear in poetry. Complex historical figures and events are highly compressed into poems with concise language, such as epic poems and nostalgic poems. At the same time, poems are quoted and composed from time to time in history and narrative literature. These poems play an important role and function in narrative literature, enriching narrative methods and means. For example, "Historical Records", "Hanshu", "Shishuo Xinyu" and "Ben Shi Shi" all quoted a considerable number of poems. In addition, poetry and history are so closely intertwined that they sometimes depend on each other and are difficult to separate, adding to the richness of Chinese culture. For example, Du Fu's poems record the history of that time, which can prove history and make up for the lost records of history. In view of the important interactive relationship between poetry and history, this book invites Chinese and foreign scholars to discuss and write essays on poetry and history in medieval literature.
