Song poetry,tone,and true poetry:The restoration and transformation of the integrated tradition of poetics and music in the Ming Dynasty
In the poetics system of the Retro School in the Ming Dynasty,the relationship between poetry and music is an important theoretical proposition.The Retro School has been trying to return to the ancient literary and artistic tradition of integrating poetry and music,using the qin and poetry,singing loudly at intervals,imitating the qin exercises,and continuing the singing techniques and poetic system of songs and poetry.As for modern-style poetry,it takes the Tang tune as a benchmark to explore the beauty of rhyme and intonation in rhythm.True poetry in the folk is their adjustment to the traditional reality of ancient poetry and music.On the one hand,they emphasize true emotions,and on the other hand,they use new sounds to achieve a realistic return to the unity of poetry and music in the harmony of emotions and music.Therefore,song poetry,tone,and true poetry become three important paths for the Retro School in the Ming Dynasty to pursue the musicality of the poetics.
