An Investigation of the Late-Tang Poetics through the Functional Structure of the Retro Poetic Styles in

Abstract

Abstract: The retro style in the Tang poetry collection Talent and Taste Anthology (Cai Diao Anthology) mainly refers the imitation of the poetic styles in the ancient Qi and Liang. The retro style showed in the poetic forms of courtly five-character regulated poems (including extended form and Qi-Liang form), music bureau form (including quatrain) and ballad forms. This style has respective functions, with five-character regulated poems focusing on objects, music bureau forms on emotions and ballad forms on both. It may be said that the retro style in the Talent and Taste Anthology had constructed a relatively complete system of functions, which excluded the style developed after the Mid-Tang. The paper concluded that the aesthetics showed in the Talent and Taste Anthology were drastically different from the late Mid-Tang period and reflected the aesthetic trend in the literary thought in the late Tang and Five Dynasties.

Key words: Talent and Taste Anthology (Cai Diao Anthology), description of objects, expression of emotions, style
