A Commentary on Poetries of Song and Yuan Dynasties in Xu Xueyi's Shiyuanbianti
Xu Xueyi,a poetical critic in the late Ming Dynasty,added his comments on the poetry of Song and Yuan Dynasties in Volume One of the sequel to Shiyuanbianti,but this did not receive much attention from the academic community.Xu Xueyi's general evaluation of the Song and Yuan dynasties'poetry is not high and he believed that poetry has reached the ultimate change in the late Tang Dynasty and can not be surpassed.He discusses Mei Yaochen and Huang Tingjian of the Song Dynasty in detail,and thinks that although their poems are desirable,they are also"strange and evil"and are"changes in changes".Xu Xueyi discussed the poets of the Yuan Dynasty,focusing on Yuan Haowen and Yang Weizhen.He affirmed their achievements in the creation of poetry in the Yuan Dynasty,but also pointed out their shortcomings of"more changes than compliance".Xu Xueyi's theory of Song and Yuan poetry repre-sents the views of the late Ming retro school on Song and Yuan poetry,and is also an expression of his"retro and compliance"ideology.
