How many types of Song poetry are there?

In terms of ideological content, the social life reflected in Song poetry is broader than that in previous dynasties, including Tang poetry. Its specific performance is:

One is to discuss politics directly with poetry. Many Song poems are aimed at a political event, which can be called political poems and current affairs poems, so with the climax of political struggle, the climax of poetry creation often appears. For example, during the Qingli New Deal, there were poems of great virtue in Shijie, four sages and one unfortunate poem in Cai Xiang, and many chorus poems by Fan Zhongyan, Mei, Ouyang Xiu. During the Xining political reform, both Wang Anshi and Su Shi used poetry as a weapon to express their political opinions directly. Another example is the Shaoxing incident, when Hu Quan wrote to beg Qin Gui to behead, and Wang Tingxuan wrote a poem: "The seal of the capsule was printed for nine days at the beginning, and the tiger and leopard were at leisure in Nissin. A hundred gentlemen watched the play, and several people looked back at the class. On the Big Dipper, I fell into Zhou Nanhai. After another year of public discussion, Hanting called Jia Sheng back. " ("Send Hu Bangheng to NSW Demotion Office")

The second is to describe people's livelihood extensively and deeply. Not only ordinary farmers, but also trackers, fishermen, urban poor, craftsmen, vendors, artists and so on. Some essential problems, such as land annexation and living in different places, have been deeply exposed. For example, Li Taibo wrote in "Mourning for the Old Lady" that he married his mother to avoid the corvee tax, which profoundly exposed the morbid state of society, which was actually absent in all previous dynasties: "Don't children want to raise?" Isn't mom pregnant? There is nothing to lose from the corvee and the next home. Fortunately, foreign nationality can be avoided, and it is good to marry a mother. "

The third is to always show patriotism. This is the most distinctive content in the Song Dynasty. Especially in the Southern Song Dynasty, such works have become the main theme of poetry.

The fourth is to describe social life pictures such as economic life, folk customs, such as salt and wine monopoly, water transportation, mining, agricultural tools, medicine, customs, divination, busking and so on. For example, in the Northern Song Dynasty, Mei, Wang Ling, Su Shi and others praised the new agricultural tool "water wheel".

Fifth, the art of appreciation. Almost all famous writers have poems, books, paintings and music. For example, in one of his Five Paintings of Founder, Huang Tingjian wrote about the beauty of painting: "Hui Chong misty rain belongs to yan zhen, sit in my Xiaoxiang Dongting. I want to call the boat home, so the old man said it was Dan Qing. "

Song poetry also has some shortcomings in ideological content, such as the lack of love poems and frontier poems, while there are too many poems about objects and appreciating them.
