Treating Poetry as History:Fu Shan's Views on Poetry
Fu Shan,a loyalist poet of the Ming-Qing transition,was distinguished for his erudition and cultural refinement.During the early Qing revival of the concept of"poetry as history",Fu Shan did not pas-sively adopt his predecessors'ideas but rather selectively integrated them,focusing on the social role of poetry and the themes of"truth"and"reality".This led him to develop a distinctive perspective on the rela-tionship between"poetry"and"history",thus expanding the traditional notion of"poetry as history".His historical-themed poems illustrate his concept,often using historical figures as reflections of himself.The cultural milieu and loyalist convictions that surrounded him deeply influenced his approach to poetry as a his-torical medium,which is evident in both his creative works and his philosophical outlook.
