"Hermit"and"Arrogant Official"on the Tang Poetry Road in Eastern Zhejiang:A Comparative Analysis of the Poetry of Meng Haoran and Liu Changqing
Meng Haoran and Liu Changqing left a rich and diverse body of work in eastern Zhejiang.During his stay in eastern Zhejiang,Meng Haoran continued to embody the image of"hermit"that he presented in his earlier works,while Liu Changqing's consciousness of being an"arrogant official"intensified his sense of alienation from his contemporaries.Both of them were trave-ling by boat in eastern Zhejiang,and vocabulary referring to boat supplies frequently appeared in their poetry.In contrast,Meng Haoran,who was in the early Tang Dynasty,was able to purely express his emotions towards the landscape,while Liu Chan-gqing,who had experienced significant changes in the political situation,showed a strong concern for national fortune and indi-vidual destiny.In terms of social interactions in Zhejiang,Meng Haoran focused on individual friendships,while Liu Changqing,as a representative poet-official,had a wider range of social interactions.The poetry of Meng Haoran in Zhejiang frequently quotes Buddhist language,while Liu Changqing had direct interactions and exchanges with the Buddhist monks in Zhejiang.This paper attempts to explore the similarities and differences in the literary styles presented in the works of these two poets based on their shared experiences of living in Zhejiang.
