For many literature lovers, Song Ci is undoubtedly a dazzling treasure trove. However, when we look at these masterpieces that have been passed down through the ages, are we often puzzled: why are some lyrics passionate and uninhibited, while others are tender and reserved? In fact, behind this lies the two major schools of Song Ci - the bold school and the graceful school. Today, let's unveil the mystery of these two genres and appreciate the charm of Song Ci more deeply!
1. Bold faction: swaying freely and swallowing thousands of miles.
The bold school, as the name suggests, is characterized by a bold and majestic style of words. The lyricists of this genre dare to break through the shackles of tradition and express their inner ambitions with unrestrained brushstrokes. Their works are often broad-minded, crisp and uplifting to read.
Taking Su Shi's "Nian Nujiao Chibi Nostalgia" as an example, this poem takes Chibi as the background, and expresses the lyricist's admiration for heroes and unique thinking about life through the reminiscence of historical figures. The sentences in the words, such as "the great river goes east, the waves are exhausted, and the romantic characters through the ages" are magnificent and far-reaching, fully demonstrating the style characteristics of the bold school.
2. Graceful school: subtle and timeless, tender like water.
Compared with the extravagant faction, the graceful faction is more reserved and introverted. The lyricists of this genre are adept at depicting the emotional world through delicate brushstrokes, and their works are often beautiful in language and sincere in emotion, which is intoxicating to read.
Taking Li Qingzhao's "Like a Dream Order: Chang Ji Xiting Sunset" as an example, this poem expresses the lyricist's nostalgia for the lost time and his yearning for beautiful things by depicting the scenery of Xiting Sunset and the lyricist's drunken experience. Sentences such as "Chang Ji Xi Pavilion sunset, drunk and don't know the way back" in the words are fresh and natural, and the emotions are sincere and moving, which fully demonstrates the style characteristics of the graceful school.
3. Two major schools: each has its own merits and complements each other.
Although the styles of the extravagant school and the graceful school are very different, they are both treasures of Song poetry. With its majestic momentum and profound artistic conception, the bold school inspires readers to move forward bravely; The graceful school warms the reader's heart with its delicate brushstrokes and sincere emotions. In actual creation, many lyricists will also integrate the characteristics of the two genres to create a richer and more diverse artistic effect.
Epilogue: Through the above introduction, I believe you have a deeper understanding of the two major schools of Song Ci. Whether it is the passion of the bold school or the tenderness of the graceful school, we can feel the profundity and infinite charm of Chinese culture in the process of tasting Song Ci. Let's continue to immerse ourselves in the ocean of Song Ci and dance with the eternal Yinghua! At the same time, I also hope that everyone can find the touch of emotion and strength that connects with their hearts in the process of appreciating Song Ci.
