For the scholar-gentry class in the ancient China, poetry serves as a form of verbal communication and social interaction in their daily life. In such a historical context of poetry culture, the poetic device bi-xing begins to take on the function of ethical relations. Bi-xing is not merely about principle in poem for figuration or symbolization, but involves normative ethics according to which the scholar-gentry class behaves and communicates. This paper aims to examine poetry as a socio-cultural act in the context of Li culture in the ancient China, and discuss the ethical function of bi-xing in classic Chinese poetry. |
