Research on Shen Deqian's Poetry
by Chen Anfeng
About This Novel
In the poetry world of the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, competing schools of poetry emerged, but in the end they were inseparable from the debate over the Ming Dynasty retro-poetry school. The Gong'an School and Jingling School in the late Ming Dynasty and even the Shen Yun theory in the early Qing Dynasty appeared, either to attack its shortcomings or to form its own theory, and there is no doubt that it is inseparable from the poetic propositions of the Retro Poetry School. Shen Deqian of the Qing Dynasty was the summarizer of the debates in poetry circles in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. Shen started from refuting Li Panlong's statement that "there were no five-character ancient poems in the Tang Dynasty but had its own ancient poems", advocated "poetic education" as a way to break through the gaps in Tang poetry, and proposed the poetic methodology of "transporting ideas with ideas", aiming to break through the shackles of the retro poetry school on poetic theory and lead the poetry world on the path of creation. On the other hand, Shen proposed a creative transformation of the "style theory", the core poetic concept of the retro poetry school. Shen advocated the mutual complementarity of "gentleness and honesty" and "style theory", and moved these two poetic concepts as the benchmark for his poetic criticism. Shen's more comprehensive response to the poetic debate can be found in his comprehensive anthology. From the analysis of poetic theory to the attitude, principles and orientation of poetry selection, it demonstrates the insight and persistence of a literati scholar with great character.
