Wang Guowei and Gong Zizhen

The poems and Ci of Gong Zizhen are unique in style.Besides,situated in the Chinese transitional stage,the internal world that his works carried and the historical responsibilities his works assumed co-existed paradoxically.The six volume Gongding'an quanji edited by Wang Guowei was thus logically influential on Wang's literature and academic practice.This paper has Gong Zizhen's influence on Wang Guowei as the basic thread,with the large number of uses of renjian(human world) by both,and exposes their likely common derivation and the differences between them.There is strongly theoretical co-relation between Gong Zizhen' s zunqing(respect of emotion) and the natural expression of the real scenes and real feelings stressed in Wang Guowei's Jingjieshuo(theory of state).Wan(完) illustrated by Gong Zizhen was actually the basic principle on which Wang Guowei interpreted the works of Qu Yuan.In the process in which Wang Guowei absorbed some of the thoughts of Gong Zizhen,Wu Changshou,who edited Ding'an wenji(Anthology of Ding'an) and compiled Ding'an xiansheng nianpu(Chronicle of Mr.Ding'an),played an important role.From Wang Guowei,some of the influence of Gong Zizhen on the creation of poetry and poetic thoughts in the 20th century can be seen.
