The Mutual Independence of"Aspiration"and"Emotion":Taking Su Shi and Li Qingzhao as Examples
The distinction between the two literary categories of"Aspiration"and"Emotion"showed a more obvious phenomenon of cultural differentiation in the Song Dynasty.The opposition between poetry and lyrics has stimulated the previous situation of the unity of"Aspiration"and"Emotion".The mutual independence of these two literary categories is one of the important roots in the history of ancient Chinese literary criticism where gender metaphors were used to describe different literary styles or styles.From the perspective of the poetry theories and works of opposite sex poets Su Shi and Li Qingzhao,it is not difficult to see that the main promotion,social con-sciousness,and grand aesthetics of"Aspiration"have a masculine color,while the object comfort,individual consciousness,and elegant aesthetics of"Emotion"also have a feminine color."Aspiration"and"Emotion"each exhibit their own literary characteristics,and re-turn to the"Heart"of each subject.
