A RESEARCH ON BAI JUYI’S POETRY CREATION FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF CHILDREN’S LITERATURE

Abstract

The works of the Tang Dynasty poet Bai Juyi have been selected for many times into Chinese general language textbooks because of their popular significance and aesthetic value. The overall length is as much as 15 articles, ranking second only to Li Bo, Du Fu and Wang Wei. His poetry not only has a profound theoretical level, but also is widely accepted by readers of different ages. The reason is that his poetry creation has the characteristics of combining simplicity and sublime, which can naturally integrate popularity and aesthetics, reflecting more real life in thought, and at the same time has a high level of poetry theory. From the perspective of children’s literature, taking the internal research of literature as the method, this paper attempts to conduct an in-depth discussion on the theoretical guiding ideology, creative characteristics, writing content and aesthetic dimensions of Bai’s poetry, and combined with specific works, it analyzes the unique classical aesthetic phenomenon of giving consideration to the popularity in the readers’ expectation vision and the literary nature of the rules of poetry creation.
