Zhao Yi's Reinterpretation of Du Fu and Du Fu's Poems with Epochal Characteristics
Zhao Yi,a famous poet,historian and representative of the Theory of Spirituality during the Qian-long and Jiaqing periods,commented on Du Fu's poems based on his innovative poetic propositions and practical historical stance,reexamining the eternal classic status of Du Fu's poems.He considered innovation as a crucial characteristic of Du Fu's poems,highlighting the pioneering aspects such as the sentence struc-ture,the seven-character regulated verse,the incorporation of novels into poems,and the poems about paint-ings.He was the first to propose the"Genius Theory"of Du Fu,maintaining that Du Fu's breathtaking lan-guage expressiveness and the excellence of his poems even when not in poverty were manifestations of his"genius".He investigated the controversial relationship between Du Fu and Yan Wu and arrived at a rela-tively fair conclusion.He dialectically pointed out the deficiencies in the artistic expression of Du Fu's po-ems and the contradiction between Du Fu's aspiration to save the world and the reality of a specific era,re-storing Du Fu to a genuine poet.Zhao Yi re-interpreted Du Fu's poems and Du Fu himself in an epochal manner,namely recanonization,presenting the process of the canonization of Du Fu's poems under the influ-ence of the Theory of Spirituality and the textual research style of the Qianlong and Jiaqing periods in the Qing Dynasty,uncovering the new traits of Du Fu as a classic poet and revealing the new connotations of the classic nature of Du Fu's poems.
