From"Wanting to Learn from People Like Ji and Qi"to Beginning to Believe the World Is a Dream":The Evolution of Wang Anshi's Poetic Style from the Perspective of His Aria to JinLing
Wang Anshi was tightly bound to Jinling throughout his life.In Wang Anshi's poetry creation,the aria to Jinling is an important window to investigate the evolution of his thought and poetic style.Jinling bore Wang Anshi's enterprising heart when he entered the official career,his official intention weakened gradually when his reform was blocked,and his complex thoughts while retiring in his old age,reflecting the change of Wang Anshi's mentality and the evolution of his poetry style under the complex political ecological environment.In the early stage,Wang Anshi showed more active spirit of Confucianism,and his poems of chanting Jinling showed a strong and robust style.The middle period was the transition period of Wang Anshi's thought from Confucianism to Zen,and the poetry style of chanting Jinling became deep and thoughtful and gradually depressed.In the later period,retiring in Jinling,Wang Anshi was indulged in Buddhist meditation,and his poetry style became simple,quiet,implicit and deep.Through Wang Anshi's aria to Jinling,we can clearly see the evolution trajectory and deep agent of his poetic style.
