| Abstract:Zhang Heng, who lived in the middle of the Eastern Han Dynasty, made unprecedented experimentation and exploration in the form and artistic expression of Shi (lyric poetry) and Fu (rhapsody), hence furthering the development of these two literary forms. As for Shi, Zhang Heng adapted the sentence pattern of the poem “Li Sao” into some of his poems such as “Four Sorrows Poem”, which pioneered the earliest seven-syllable verse in ancient China. Meanwhile, Qu Yuan's “vanilla and beauty” metaphor, which alluded to politics, was well developed by Zhang Heng, and gradually evolved to an important mode of poetic expression. As far as Fu is concerned, it was innovative in layout as well as in content, length, language style, structure, and artistic conception, which thoroughly changed the traditional style of Fu and deeply influenced the composition of Shi and Fu in the later Han, Wei, and Jin Dynasties. When it comes to the form of “Sevens”, his “Seven Changes” and Fu Yi's “Seven Stimuli” turned the traditional theme of “concerning with people” into “summoning hermits to be officials”, which had a great impact on the later “Sevens” in theme, style, and form. |
