At the end of the Song Dynasty and the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, the poet Fang Hui can be called a famous poet, and his poetic ideas have a great influence on future generations. Fang Hui's poetics was deeply accomplished, and he admired Du Fu's poetry and belonged to the Jiangxi poetry school, but due to the special era, Fang Hui was snubbed in literature, and later generations also had mixed evaluations of him. However, purely from the perspective of poetry, Fang Hui's poems have strong artistic value. Today, we will appreciate the ten poems of the poet Fang Hui during the Yuan Dynasty and experience the aesthetic art behind the poems.
Fang Hui was born in the Song Dynasty, was a jinshi during the Southern Song Dynasty, and when the Yuan soldiers went south, he surrendered to the Yuan Dynasty, and his character and mental skills were ironic, so he was attacked politically and received a cold reception in literature. We put aside the issue of position, seek truth from facts, and simply proceed from a literary point of view to taste the poems of Fang Hui, whose poems are still worthy of our in-depth study and reading. It is worth mentioning that Fang Hui has written a large number of poems, more than two thousand poems, enriching the treasure house of mainland literature, which is worthy of our different eyes on him.
Du Fu was a poet highly respected by Fang Hui, who belonged to the Jiangxi poetry school, and Du Fu was called "Zushiye" by the Jiangxi poetry school. In terms of poetry alchemy, Fang Hui spent a lot of energy studying Du Fu's alchemy techniques, thus inheriting Du Fu's poetry creation concept. In addition, the high pattern of Du Fu's poetry is also highly admired by Fang Hui, and the depressed poetic style has become a strong imitation of the poems created by Fang Hui in the special period.
Because he was born in the era of dynastic change, Fang Hui endured the slander of his career, made him physically and mentally exhausted, and chose to dismiss officials and live idly and return to the mountains and forests, which became the best way for him to dispel this sad state of mind. In this context, Fang Hui's idyllic poems were born. According to records, Fang Hui's idyllic poems have more than a thousand poems, which not only depict the life of farmers in the background of the times, but also deeply fascinated by this leisurely life, and the poems are full of the idea of "being alone".
Fang Hui's pastoral poems not only inherit the poetic style of the Song Dynasty, but also have a deep study of poets of the earlier dynasties, especially Tao Yuanming, who is a pastoral poet highly respected by Fang Hui. Fang Hui vigorously promoted Tao Yuanming, and his idylls followed Tao Yuanming's poetic style, while at the same time changing and developing pastoral poems. Fang Hui's pastoral poems tend to describe the style of the countryside and the life of farmers, and the combination of poetry and painting art records his pastoral life, expresses his leisurely state of mind and the sense of heavy farming, and is full of vicissitudes.
Moreover, because after the dismissal of the official, Fang Hui had no financial resources, and because he had no money to see a doctor and endured illness, Tao Yuanming pursued self-adaptation, and the spirit of returning to the countryside became Fang Hui's spiritual dependence. He revels in the countryside, gets spiritual compensation and satisfaction in the pastoral life, and at the same time reflects a trace of sentimentality because of his encounters.
In terms of the poetic style and poetic thought of the pastoral poems, Fang Hui's idylls have great similarities with Fan Chengda's idylls. However, in terms of expression methods and themes, there are differences, Fang Hui's idyllic poems have more aesthetic characteristics of life, closer to the essence of peasant life, so that readers can experience the living life of farmers, distinct and grounded, catchy to read, and make people enjoy it.
Generally speaking, Fang Hui's idyllic poems are naturally plain, the poetry mood is beautiful and fresh, the emotions are simple and sincere, and more than a thousand idyllic poems are the concentrated expression of Fang Hui's thoughts and emotions in his life, and can also reflect the source of his spiritual life strength, and play a role in carrying on the mainland idyllic poems.
