China's classical literature has many forms of expression, such as poetry, prose, novel, ci, fu and qu. The diversity of styles and artistic expressions makes China's classical literature present a colorful and magnificent picture. For thousands of years, China's traditional culture has nurtured China's classical literature, while China's classical literature is large and the influence of traditional culture is far-reaching. 1. The Book of Songs and Pre-Qin Prose During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, society changed rapidly. During this period, pre-Qin prose played an important role in the history of China literature. The cultural atmosphere of letting a hundred flowers blossom and a hundred schools of thought contend has promoted the prosperity of literature, ushered in the cultural moderns, especially the theories of Confucianism, Mohism, Taoism and Legalism, and laid the foundation of China's traditional culture. Secondly, Chu Ci and Han Fu are one of the ancient literary styles in China. Ci is called Chu Ci because it originated in Chu State during the Warring States Period. Fu means to spread the past, characterized by "spreading words" and "straight books" Both of them have the nature of verse and prose, and they are a unique style of half poetry and half prose. The structure is grand, rhetoric is gorgeous, literary talent and sense of rhythm are emphasized, and exaggeration and exposition are often used. Three. Literature in Wei and Jin Dynasties and Literary Theory in Southern Dynasties The Yellow Scarf Uprising at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty destroyed the Eastern Han Dynasty. Cao Cao, Liu Bei and Sun Quan, representing the interests of small and medium-sized landlords, divided the world into three parts. Cao Cao has the greatest power and the highest literary achievements. Jian 'an literature, represented by "Three Caos" and "Seven Scholars of Jian 'an", occupies an important position in the history of ancient literature. The so-called "three Cao" refers to Cao Cao and his sons Cao Pi and Cao Zhi; The "Seven Scholars" refer to the late Han writers Kong Rong, Chen Lin, RoyceWong, Xu Gan, Ruan Yu, Angelababy and Serina Liu. They are all good at writing and poetry, and they are closely related to Cao Shi and his son. Jian 'an period is an era of "talented people" in the history of China literature. A large number of writers and works appeared and developed various styles, especially poetry, which broke the silence of the Han Dynasty for 400 years. Five-character poems flourished from then on, and seven-character poems also laid the foundation at this time. Literary critics of past dynasties regarded Jian 'an period as the golden age of literature. Fourth, Song and Yuan operas and novels in Ming and Qing Dynasties In China's traditional literary concept, novels are often regarded as gossip; China's traditional opera is regarded as a work that cannot be elegant. Therefore, novels and operas started late, and until the Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, some great writers and works appeared one after another. In terms of traditional Chinese operas, such as Dou E Yuan by Guan Hanqing in Yuan Dynasty, Romance of the West Chamber by Wang Shifu, Peony Pavilion by Tang Xianzu in Ming Dynasty and Peach Blossom Fan by Kong in Qing Dynasty, they are all immortal works. Novels such as Romance of the Three Kingdoms, The Water Margin, The Journey to the West, Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio and The Scholars are all literary treasures. A Dream of Red Mansions is an immortal work, which pushes China literature to a new peak and can be compared with many famous novels in the world. Although China's ancient literature is developing continuously, it shows the characteristics of abnormal stability and solidification. Compared with western literature, its unity and singleness are quite obvious. This feature is closely related to the historical process of China society. Most of China's literature was produced in the small production soil of feudal society, and almost all of it was developed in a centralized and unified country, emphasizing cultural concepts and strictly controlling them. Therefore, China ancient literature has relatively little contact with foreign literature, and most of the time it is in a closed environment. Except for special historical periods, the relationship with religion is quite sparse in general. This formed the dignified and steady character of China ancient literature. From the second half of19th century to the beginning of 20th century, this character began to break with the great changes in China feudal society. By the middle of Qing Dynasty, most authentic poems in China's ancient literature came to an end because they followed the old art form and lacked new ideological content. After the Opium War, some intellectuals began to realize the economic and cultural weaknesses of their own nation, and an enlightenment school represented by Gong Zizhen and Huang Zunxian appeared in literature. Before and after the Reform Movement of 1898, Liang Qichao, Huang Zunxian and other representatives of bourgeois reformists put forward revolutionary ideas on poetry, literature and novels, demanding "respecting the vernacular and abandoning the classical Chinese", and political novels calling for revolution also emerged one after another, such as Li's The Appearance of Officialdom, Wu Woyao's Strange Bureau Witnessed in Twenty Years, Liu E's Travels of the Old Handicapped, and. Representative works: The Book of Songs, Li Sao, Nine Songs, Nine Chapters, Tian Wen, Nine Debates, Zhouyi, Shangshu, Chunqiu, Zuo Zhuan, Guoyu, The Analects of Confucius, Laozi, The Warring States Policy, and Yolanda Sanqu, The Romance of the West Chamber, Peach Blossom Fan, Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio, A Dream of Red Mansions, Scholars, Flowers in a Mirror, Songs of the South, Poems of the Five Dynasties, Collection of Flowers, Legend of Tang and Song Dynasties, Away from Soul and Liu Family, Yan
