Poetry evolution: Ming Dynasty's influence still shaping modern poetic self-consciousness
The article discusses how poetry in ancient China was categorized into "Han Yin" and "Wei Xiang" during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It explores how the works of poets like Cao Cao, Cao Pi, and Cao Zhi evolved in terms of language and music arts, leading to a shift towards poetic self-consciousness. The researchers show that Cao Cao's poetry combined language and music, while Cao Pi and Cao Zhi's works focused more on language arts. This separation marked a significant change in poetic creation during that time.
