閱讀理解

  China has a wealth of classical literature dating from as far back as the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and including the Classics, whose compilation(收集,選編)is attributed to Confucius.Among these, the most important classics in Chinese literature include the Yijing, the Shijing, the Shujing, the Liji, the Chunqiu and the Lunyu.

  The earliest and most influential poetic collection was the Chuci, made up mainly of poems by Qu Yuan and his follower Song Yu.The songs in this collection are more lyrical and romantic and represent a different tradition from the earlier written Shijing.During the Han Dynasty, this form developed into the fu, a poem usually composed in rhymed verse except for the introductory and concluding passages, which are often in the form of questions and answers.

  Classical poetry in China reached its peak during the Tang Dynasty.The early Tang period was best known for a number of poetic styles including the lushi, an eight-line poem with five or seven words in each line; and the jueju, a four-line poem with five or seven words in each line.The two best-known poets of this period were Li Bai and Du Fu.Li Bai was known for the romanticism in his poetry, while Du Fu was seen as a Confucian moralist with a strict sense of duty toward society.

  Later Tang poets developed greater realism and social criticism within their work and improved the art of narration.One of the best known of the later Tang poets was Bai Juyi, whose poems were an inspired yet critical comment of the society of his time.

  As the classical style of poetry became redundant(多余的), a more flexible poetic medium, the ci, arrived on the scene.The ci, a poetic form of Central Asian origin based on the tunes of popular songs, was developed to its fullest by the poets of the Song Dynasty.
