Wei Xi's Identity as a Surviving Literati and his Poetry Creation
As a group existing in special circumstances,the community of literati who survived the fall of a dynasty has al-ways been the focus of scholars'attention and research.Wei Xi,along with Wang Wan and Hou Fangyu,is known as one of the"Three Masters of the Early Qing Dynasty",and his achievements in classical prose are highly regarded.Wei Xi also made significant contributions to poetry,and his poetic creation phase closely aligns with his life as a literati loyal to the fallen Ming Dynasty.His seclusion at the Cuiwei Mountain was the starting point of his long life as a surviving literati,and it was during this period that he formally began his poetic endeavors.The"wandering of surviving literati"phase in the Jiangnan region also marked an important period for Wei Xi's poetic creation.After the disillusion of the dream to restore the fallen dynasty in his later years,Wei Xi no longer fiercely resisted the newly-established Qing Dynasty,and his con-sciousness and mindset as a remnant loyalist underwent changes.Analyzing the literary expressions of Wei Xi during these different periods can aid in better understanding and exploring his poetic creation.
