The Theoretical Contribution of The Literary Mind and the Carving of Dragons to the Paradigmatic Origins and Regulations of the Specialization of Ancient Poetics
In the course of development,ancient poetics gradually became specialized.When the poetics theory of Jingxi school emerged in Song Dynasty,the specialization of poetics tended to be formed and stable.Through the analysis of the connotation of the poetics specialization,it can be basically determined that the key components of specialization include three aspects:the stable historical view of poetry,the opinions about the poetics pedigree and the choice of the path of studying poetry,and the requirements for the practical ability of the learners to create and criticize.Tracing back from the connotation of poetics specialization,we can find the theoretical system of The Lit-erary Mind and the Carving of Dragons had already covered three basic elements of the poetics specialization.Therefore,it can be judged that The Literary Mind and the Carving of Dragons is of theoretical significance of paying the way for the specialization of ancient poetics.When LIU Xie constructed his theoretical system based on the the-ory of"being extensive in scope and penetrating in thought",he played an important role in the paradigmatic ori-gins and regulations of the specialization of ancient poetics.In combination with the stable expression of the special-ization of ancient poetics,this paper analyzes its theoretical connotation and basic construction mode,and expounds the relevant theoretical opinions related to the specialization of poetics in The Literary Mind and the Carving of Dragons,which will help us to deeply understand and grasp the national tradition of ancient poetics.
