What does Han Yuefu mean?

Han Yuefu refers to the music management organization established by Liu Che, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty.

The establishment of Han Yuefu has two purposes. One is to worship the suburbs, and the suburban songs in Yuefu poems are the songs of the imperial court to worship the ancestors of the gods. The second is to observe the customs, know the thickness, and "feel sad and happy, because of things." Lyric narration is closely related to daily life.

Yuefu is a special official institution established since the Qin Dynasty, which is responsible for distributing music, training musicians and collecting folk songs. Han Yuefu refers to the poems collected by Yuefu organs in Han Dynasty. These poems were originally circulated among the people and preserved through Yuefu, which was called "Song Poetry" by Han people and "Yuefu" or "Han Yuefu" in Wei and Jin Dynasties. Poems written by later scholars imitating this form are also called "Yuefu Poems".

The extended data "Han Yuefu" is another great collection of ancient folk songs after the Book of Songs. Different from The Book of Songs, it created a new style of poetic realism. Women's works play an important role in the folk songs of Han Yuefu. It uses popular language to construct works close to life, from miscellaneous words to five words, depicts characters carefully with narrative writing, shapes distinctive characters and completes stories.

Moreover, it can highlight the ideological connotation, pay attention to describing typical details, and open up a new stage in the development of narrative poetry, which is an important stage in the development of China's five-character poetry style. Han Yuefu has a very high position in the history of literature, which can keep pace with The Book of Songs and Songs of the South.

The biggest and most basic artistic feature of Han Yuefu is narrative. This feature is determined by the content of "karma". Although we can already see some works with narrative elements in the Book of Songs, such as Meng and Meng.

But it is still expressed through the protagonist's talk, and it is still in the form of lyricism, lacking complete characters and plots, and lacking a centralized description of a central event. However, in the folk songs of Han Yuefu, there are works whose stories are told by a third party, and there are characters with certain characters and complete plots, such as Sang Shang and Walking East, especially Peacock Flying Southeast, which we will describe in the next section.

The story and drama of poetry are greatly enhanced than the works in The Book of Songs. Therefore, in the history of China literature, the folk songs of Han Yuefu marked a new and more mature stage of narrative poetry development.

Yuefu folk songs in Han Dynasty had a far-reaching influence on the healthy development of later poetry. This influence, of course, is first manifested in the inheritance of the realistic tradition, which is based on sadness and joy and is caused by events. It is under the nourishment of folk songs in Han Yuefu that the creation of poets facing life in Han Dynasty gradually became active, from initial simulation to innovation, which laid the foundation for the prosperity of Jian 'an poetry circles.
