Title: On Definition and Introspection of Ancient Poetic Style
Abstract: In a broad sense of poetry the original type of poetry,tune and lyric,song and verse belong to the category of music;while the developed type of poetry is a branch of literature.To define the type of poetry by contents and techniques is so-called ontology.Besides,it can also be defined by the way of writer,reader,origin and function.Poetry can be divided into two styles,metaphysical and physical.The former refers to the essence of poetry, spirit and soul,the latter the artistic expression,in technical sphere.The definition of poetry is a value judgment between right and wrong;whereas the nature of poetry is a judgment between good and bad.They are quite different concepts.More than a kind of literary form poetry is also a cultural genre.The multi-views of the ancient poetry have rationalities and limitations,but we should accommodate them instead of either imperiously discarding them all or simply taking only one view.Introspection is required in understating ancient poetry as the concept of pure literature has nowadays obscured truth in poetry history.
