Definition and Classification of Post Tang Yuefu Poems

Caused by history,culture,aesthetic standards,etc.post Tang Yuefu poems of the 6 dynasties of Song,Liao,Jin,Yuan,Ming and Qing are qualitatively changed and apparently different from those of the 2 dynasties of Han and Tang,Viewing it from the perspective of famous Yuefu pieces,post Tang Yuefu poems fall into 2 categories of old and new themes.Neco theme Yuefu consists of extempore,Gexing and Zhuzhi Yuefu.In the study of Post Tang Yuefu poems,it won′t do to scrutinize the works in the same light as with Han and Tang Yuefu poems.The thesis of non Yuefu Gexing by Matsuura Misasuke,a Japanese scholar,is utterly inconsistent with the reality of post Tang Yuefu poems and cannot be used to define post Tang Yuefu Gexing.
