The emergence of the Yongming poetic style and the writing of "Wenxin diaolong"文心雕龍and "Shipin"詩品can be viewed as interconnected parts of a literary consciousness movement. This paper explores the intimate dialogue between them, arguing that the key significance of Yongming永明poetics in the history of Chinese poetry lies in the dual aspects of sound and literariness. Yongming poets not only developed an innovative awareness of sound (聲), but also focused profoundly on literariness (文) in their work, as embodied in the interweaving of phrases, sentence structure, word order, allusions, and the forms , pronunciations and meanings of Chinese characters. At the same time, they considered their ideal to be the combining of sound and literariness into a natural, almost visceral form of language. With its reflections on sound and literariness, Yongming poetics infused poetry with an enormous reformative momentum, lending the characteristic features of the Chinese language even more scope to exercise their potential to shape prosody and meaning, thus giving five-character poems a completely new look. The author has written elsewhere on the tonal prosodic theory of Yongming poetics; the present paper instead centers around three themes that demonstrate its reflections on literariness: the interweaving of sound and literariness, the construction of an internal sound-literariness form, and opening up the structure of language. |
