The Meeting of Poetic Art and Poetry Dao——Commentary On the Song Dynasty's"Blandness"Theory
"Blandness"from the pre-Qin concept of"Dao",through the Han,Wei and Six Dynasties characters to promote the style of evaluation,gradual-ly developed into the category of talking about"art",and ultimately in Song Dynasty Poetry to realized the concept of"Dao"and"art",which was further developed through character appraisal.In order to transcend artistic skills in poetic creation,the Song people promoted a"plain"style of poetry without excessive embellishments.They overcame the defects of the Eastern Jin Dynasty's"bland style"of"reasoning over words by incorporating Sikong Tu's idea of"rhyme beyond rhyme"from Tang Dynasty into their theoretical framework for achieving a tasteless yet profound poetic realm.In Song Dynas-ty,"blandness"was emphasized,with the intention of bringing"harmony".Its purpose was to get rid of human desires through lightness and purity while accommodating all things and situations with a state of emptiness and tranquili-ty,thus attaining spiritual settlement and freedom in creative space.The com-munication between the artistic skill of poetry and the theory of thought made the theory of"lightness"in Song Dynasty be endowed with the aesthet-ic meaning of easy and suitable between daily use.The significance of this model aesthetic style established in Song poetry not only had a profound im-pact on later poetic creations but also gained acceptance and recognition across various art forms such as painting,calligraphy,music,etc.,continuously expanding its connotations along with evolving literary and artistic theories.
