Retro and Novelty in Yuefu Poetry in the Style of Lisao Written by Li Mengyang
Li Mengyang inherited the tradition of Qu Sao under the background of retro thought in the Ming Dynasty,and applied the style of Lisao with strong emotion to Yuefu poetry to write more than thirty Yuefu poems in the style of Lisao in four categories:"Qincao","Chudiao Ge","Zadiao Qu",and"Gudiao Ge".The poems in the style of Lisao are good at expressing emotions,and Yuefu poems are good at embodying sorrow and joy.The e-vent-driven characteristics is highly consistent with Li Mengyang's viewpoints on"poetry with genuine emotion"and"emotion dominance".On the basis of inheriting the tradition of Qu Sao and the spiritual essence of Yuefu in the Han Dynasty,Li Mengyang reconstructed the poetic style.Yuefu poetry in the style of Lisao is not only rich in content and sincere in emotion but also unique in art.This kind of poetry is not only the product of the retro move-ment in the Ming Dynasty but also expresses a strong sense of genuine emotion bridging the contradiction between retro and lyricism.
