Discussion on Liu Xie's poetic originality in poetic ontology

Liu Xie changed Kong Yingda's outlook that Poems certainly contain into Poems do not certainly contain music. This change has great value in modern poetic art. Liu Xie clearly carried on the forefathers' idea that poems and happiness result from the same origin, defined the most important special musical property of poems and realized that music was ahead of poem and poem was different from happiness, which is in accordance with the conclusion of musical property which poems have in modern poetic theoretical research and anthropology research and with the conclusion that music appeared ahead of language in human history and which provided theoretical basis that Chinese poems changes from emphasis on music in early stage to separation of two styles of poems and songs because poetic musical property was gradually desalinated.
