Origins,Schools,Orthodoxy and Innovation:The Construction of "Du Fu's Poetics" in Du Shi Jing Quan
"Du Fu's Poetics"is a concept proposed by Professor Guo Shaoyu,encompassing aspects of both literary history and critical history.Among ancient annotated editions of Du Fu's poetry collections,Du Shi Jing Quan by Yang Lun,a scholar in the Qing dynasty,best embodies the notion of"Du Fu's Poetics".From the perspective of literary history,Du Shi Jing Quan meticulously traces the"origins"and"schools"of Du's poetry through detailed analysis of sentence structures,compositional techniques,allusions,and poetic styles across historical texts.This comprehensive approach highlights the position of Du Fu's poetry as a"brilliant pastiche"in literary history.From the standpoint of critical history,the work employs the traditional poeticconcept of"zheng bian"(orthodoxy and innovation)as a critical lens.Using Du Fu's poetry,which"innovates without losing orthodoxy",as a standard,it explores the developmental patterns of"orthodoxy"and"innovation"in ancient poetic history with Du's poetry at the core through interpreting"distinctive styles and unconventional forms"and"refined diction and beautiful phrases".Studying"Du Fu's Poetics"not only further clarifies the significance of Du's poetry as a"brilliant pastiche"in literary history but also provides important insights for constructing a contemporary discourse system of Chinese literary criticism.
