Development history of tourism literature

When traveling, I came into being when human society developed to a certain stage, and when literature developed to a certain era, tourism literature matured, taking tourism life as the bud.

The development of China tourism literature can be roughly divided into five periods according to its development level and historical contribution; Pre-Qin, Han, Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, Tang Dynasty, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties and modern times. The origin of pre-Qin tourism literature can be traced back to ancient long years. At that time, there was not a complete tourism literature with aesthetic content, but myths and legends containing tourism factors had been passed down from mouth to mouth among the people.

In the embryonic period of tourism literature, its main form of realization is poetry. Pre-Qin tourism poems are mainly found in The Book of Songs and Songs of the South. The Book of Songs is the first collection of poems in China, in which the tourism poems are rich in content and reflect a variety of tourism life. The most striking theme of tourism literature in Han dynasty is tourism fu, which is represented by Zi Xu Fu and Shang.

There are not many travel essays handed down from generation to generation in the Han Dynasty, and one of them is indispensable to read, that is, Mathilde's Closed-door Zen Rites, which is regarded as a mountain-watching work in the history of China's tourism literature. The Tang Dynasty is the most glorious era of China's ancient fame and China's tourism literature. It took the Tang Dynasty more than 65,438+000 years to rise and stand in the east of the world and become the most powerful empire. Strong national strength, vast territory, enlightened politics, developed transportation, free blending of Chinese and foreign cultures and endless tourism activities have undoubtedly promoted the development of tourism literature to a higher level.

At the peak of China's poetry in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, there were not only brilliant stars, but also two great poets-Li Bai and Du Fu. The Qing Dynasty is a period of great development of ancient Chinese tourism literature. Diversified thoughts and colorful tourism life are reflected in the works, and a large number of fine works of art emerge, each with its own strengths and different styles. The prosperity of famous couplets also adds luster to the tourism literature of this period.

Another symbol of the prosperity of tourism literature in Qing Dynasty is the great development of famous couplets. Most of the couplets we see in various scenic spots are written in the Qing Dynasty. . Jie Jin Zhu Yunming in Ming Dynasty, Tang Yinsun Zuizheng in Qing Dynasty and Weng Fagang in Jiyun are all famous Russian travel writers.
