The rise of the xylograph accelerated the spread of knowledge in the Song Dynasty. In addition, the circulation of codices and the abundant pluralism of the information of the books, the printed-book reading movement was thus formed. To impel classical renaissance, the flourishing of historiography, and a new era in Song literature, it is the intellectual revolution. During this period, people believed that the profundity of one's knowledge gained through extensive reading helped one to write creatively and to capture the essence of literary works. In short, “Po-Ti” (genre-hybrid technique) and “Chu-Wei” (interdisciplinary technique) became the two major features of reading and composing Song poems, emphasizing on “Breakthrough Insights at the Intersection of Idea,Concept and Cultures” which resulted in the so-called “The Medici Effect” in the West. The magnificent poetry heritage of the Tang Dynasty's left the Song Dynasty a plethora of brilliant paradigms. Hence, the Song Dynasty makes an effort compiling Tang poems into selections or anthologies. In so doing, it also catalyzed the Song Dynasty's “altering-while-mimicking Tang poetry” spirit and caused the fast transformation of Tang poetry. This spirit praises poets Li-Po and Du-Hu in the High-Tang Dynasty, promoting a new poetry style which focused on the equality of both poetry and painting, while imitating the mid-and-late-Tang poetic form, or combining both Tang and Song poetic genres. In addition, the Song also published Tang poetry in engraved printing form. Actually, the Song Dynasty, from reading, recognizing, comprehending, and further imitating and changing Tang poems, successfully inherited the grace of writing from the previous generation and fused it with its own zeitgeist. It is, therefore, appropriate to say that Quia Zhong-shu's proposal of “Tang and Song poetic demarcation,” or Naitoo Konan's “Tang and Song revolution theory,” even Fu Yue-cheng and Cheng Yin-ke's “Song-style culture” can be interpreted from the perspectives of printing technique and book circulation. |
