Classical literature influenced by Confucianism emphasizes the concept of life over the notion of death. Traditional critics have used universal value and paradigm as the criteria in evaluating literature. Regarding this interpretation tendency, obious deficiencies are observed in studies conducted on Li He’s poems. Li He tended to involve ghosts and deities in his poems and used words such as death, ghosts, cry, and blood to create an image of secluded darkness and gloom. Therefore, Li He was dubbed the Ghost of Poetry in later periods. Most critics consider Li He’s constant illness, complaints about his unappreciated talent, and preference for mysteries and fantasies the cause and the “ghost poems” the effect. However, such viewpoints overlook the poet’s psychological transition between the cause and effect. In this study, we reinterpret Li He’s transitional writing based on life and death studies. Transition is defined as the transcendence of people from a psychological status of universal value to a life stage at which values shift, self-identity is confused, and the subject wanders. From the perspectives of life and death studies, this type of psychological writing, which traditional critics have rarely examined, is the unique value of Li He’s poems. |
