The Transformation and Value of Cen Shen's Poetry during DaLi Period of Tang Dynasty
As a representative poet of the flourishing Tang Dynasty,Cen Shen's poetic style underwent a significant transformation during the DaLi period when he moved to Sichuan.His poetry shifted from grandeur to simplicity,and his emotions from fervor to mel-ancholy.Furthermore,he expanded his choice of subjects and focus on reality.This distinct change in Cen Shen's poetic style during the DaLi period is closely related to the turmoil in the political situation after the Anshi Rebellion and contradiction between official and hidden.It not only reflects Cen Shen's later life experiences and thoughts but also demonstrates a shift in his aesthetic sensibilities after achieving maturity in his artistic creation.This transformation had a certain influence on the poetry of other DaLi poets.
