The first work that broke the dominant position of China's poetry in the era of "Black Wind" was The Collection of Ancient and Modern Harmony Songs. It was 905 AD after Daozhen's death. In the era of Taoism, China's classical culture was regarded as the standard of education at that time. When Daozhen himself went to Yizhou, he specially put a collection of Daozhen and a white day.
At that time, China's novels were regarded as' hearsay, groundless' (quoted from:) ('Hanshu? Where is Yan? Zhuzi Luff) is regarded as a heretical and unorthodox literature. But in Li Tang's time,
Things have changed. As Lu Xun said, the status of novels is far less than that of poems, and great changes have taken place in the Tang Dynasty.
The content is still based on writing anecdotes, but the plot becomes tortuous and the text becomes gorgeous. Through the records of the Six Dynasties, we can clearly see its development track. The most remarkable thing is that during this period, we began to write novels consciously. "("a brief history of Chinese novels "chapter 8). Accepting heian period's popularity in Tang Wenhua's literary world may have felt such a change. If we don't feel it, it goes against the literary trend of China. Therefore, first-class scholars also pay attention to novels, and Sugawara no michizane is one of them.
Tao Zhen's collection of works "Looking at Wen Jia Grass" and "Looking after Home" are collections of poems and poems, which also contain the contents of China's novels. Their relationship with China's novels can be roughly divided into the following three types:
1) the quotation of the novel
2) Citation of allusions
3) Reference statement
1) The quotation of a novel is not just a single word quotation, but a whole paragraph quotation. For example,
The poem is entitled "White Water Poetry of Zen Mountain". [Liexian Book] Poem of Liu Ruan's Meeting Two Women quotes You, Poem of Cicada's Giving birth to a husband quotes Xu Yilu and so on.
2) Citation of allusions, such as "indoor flower-and-bird banquet in Wenchun, chatting and writing articles to send Qiannan farmland to bid farewell", quoted the allusions of "God Postscript".
3) Sentence quotation, for example, Ten Poems on a Cold Night quoted sentences from Yi Shuo Ji.
In this way, the fact that China's novels are quoted in Daozhen's poems can be verified and the fact that China's novels were accepted by Japanese can be traced back. China's novels spread to Japan very early, and Daozhen was the first scholar to use China's novels.
