On the Criticism of Zhu Ziqing's Classical Poetics

Zhu Ziqing's comprehensive and profound knowledge lies mainly in his study of Chinese poetical theory.He explored deeply the basic way of classical poetics and put forward that: the expression of ideal through poetry was the basic principle of Chinese poetics;landscape in the eyes of scholars was a realm of imagination;the mild poetical doctrine was the traditional standard of poetics;the Han-styled balladic spirit was the developmental mainstream of Chinese poetry.His poetical theory gives us much inspiration and thus,deserves our deep study.
