Shrine poetry can be traced back to the Southern Dynasties. Shrines worship historical figures and local deities, shrine poetry is therefore inherently different from Buddhist temple-visit poetry, which emphasizes more on the reflection on Buddhist philosophy. The writing style of shrine poetry developed gradually during the Southern Dynasties, from focusing on historical themes, joint creation of poems on the same topics by literary groups, to incorporating Chu Ci verses as the literary foundation for writing on sacrificial rituals, enhancing the expression of poets’ subjective consciousness. The location of shrines and visiting experience directly affected literati’s attitudes and perspectives toward shrines. On the other hand, their writing on the deities or historical figures being worshipped at shrines and selection of topics indirectly reflected how historical figures in the pre-Qin and the Han dynasties were accepted and appraised during the Southern Dynasties. This thesis studies literati’s shrine poetry in the Southern Dynasties and analyzes, from the spacial dimension, how history themes, cherished memories of the past, sacrificial rituals, landscape writing and individual lyrical expression were integrated to create shrine poetry, which further brought about the trend of visiting shrines and writing poetry on history themes among intellectuals in the Tang Dynasty. |
