	Shi Summary
		The poetry of Tao Qian (365–427) stands out during this period; his poems on turning away from officialdom and embracing the joys of drink and the life of the gentleman farmer were models for later disaffected bureaucrats.
		The shi form developed further in the Tang dynasty, with lushi ("regulated verse"—shi whose tonal pattern and rhyme scheme were closely dictated) and jueju ("broken-off lines"), an exceptionally short form of just four lines.
		Shi continued as a major poetic form in subsequent eras and even into modern times, but with the compositions of the Tang, the form is considered to have reached its high point.

	Chinese Theory and Criticism: 1. Pre-modern Theories of Poetry
		Poetry was composed in great quantities--over 40,000 poems survive from the Tang dynasty (618-907) alone--and it generated a proportionate amount of criticism and discussion.
		This well-known formula was taken to assert the hermeneutical integrity of the Odes and of poetry generally: by expressing the emotional reactions of their historical authors, the Odes inscribed and preserved for later generations both the personalities of their authors and the social worlds that moved them to song.
		Yuan Hongdao (1568-1610) argued against imitation and vehemently rejected the idea that the poetry of some eras is superior to that of others, arguing in effect for a radical revaluation of the received view of the poetic tradition.

		The traditional school of ci poetry, called wanyueci å©ç´è© "poems of delicate restraint", lead by Qin Guan ç§¦è§, a friend of Su Shi, continued to estimate their poems to be expressions of beauty and elegance, and that modes and harmony had to control and to temper language.

	AAS Abstracts: China Session 56 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		This paper explores the interartistic poetics of a unique genre of Chinese poetry known as ti-hua-shi (poetry that comments on and/or represents painting), arguing that it was the Tang poet Du Fu who formulated such poetics through his exemplary style despite the fact that he was not the first to write poetry of this genre.
		When ti hua-shi is inscribed on ti shi hua (painting inscribed with poetry) or shi yi tu (painting that renders the idea or theme of poetry) poetic calligraphy and painterly brushwork are blended into an ideogramic and intertextual whole.
		This paper argues that in terms of thematic concerns Chinese ti hua shi differs from its Western counterpart of ekphrasic poetry in going beyond the mimetic representation of the painterly scene to present the poet's re creation of the painting and to develop discourses on artists and art, and life and society.

	An introduction to Chinese literature (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		The greatest Chinese poetry was created during the Tang (Tang) dynasty (618-907), a period of general peace and prosperity ending in a decline.
		The typical poem of the Tang period was in the so-called shi form, characterized by the five-word or seven-word line, with the rhyme usually falling on the even lines.
		Stimulated by the literature of the West, Chinese writers, led by Hu Shi, started a literary revolution known as the Chinese Renaissance in an attempt to urge the written use of colloquial language and to heighten its status as a means of scholarly expression.

		About Mir and Ghalib the assumption is also baseless that in Mir's poetry the good verses are few and far between, and if he had made a selection from his poetry as Ghalib did, it would have done him justice.
		In contrast, Mir's poetry is a city in which everything that was shut up in the enchantment of that assembly can be seen-- so much so that the city in which that enchantment itself is located, is Mir's poetry alone.
		Mir is not a poet of colloquial language, or of the 'poetry of speech'.

	Revolution of al-Husayn
		One of the richest fields of Arabic poetry is the poetry of lamentation when we observe the vast amount of poetry composed in lament for al-Husayn, in particular and for the revolution of al-Husayn at Karbala', in general.
		Perhaps some of this poetry was the work of the women who used to devote themselves to exclamations of grief at the women's rites of remembrance for al-Husayn, they might have wanted to create wonder and amazement by attributing their exclamations of grief to creatures who were not human.
		However, the poetry of lament for al-Husayn throughout the ages is a subject rich in possibilities, which is suitable for a variety of types of research which could deal with it from the artistic aspect, for its historical evidence, and from the viewpoint of doctrine, psychology and sociology.

		Made in Beijing at the height of the SARS epidemic, this engagingly bizarre indie feature explores the taciturn relationship between a retired thief and his apprentice (or is she his mistress?), who is trying to persuade him to do the proverbial 'one last job'.
		On the face of it, there's a gapingly ironic discrepancy between the poetry (Wang Zhihuan's 'At Heron's Lodge', Wang Wei's 'One-Hearted', etc) and the grungy lives of the protagonists in a near-bare apartment.
		In its careful, rigid compositions, its wry minimalism and its use of reflections, the film is reaching for the rigour and resonance of classical poetry.

		Southern poetry is different from the northern poetry styles both in verse (the verse divider xi ?, a particle expressing sighing) and in content.
		In Chinese literary history, there were certain periods which were dominated by one distinctive predominant literary genre, such as "fu" (descriptive prose interspersed with verse) during the Han Dynasty, poetry in Tang, "Ci" poetry (a special poetic form) of Song and "qu" (singing verse) of Yuan.
		Already the outer shape of the "ci" lyric is clearly different to the "shi" lyric: the verses have different length.

		He claims that fine poetry "competes with the ingenuity of Creative Transformation" (yu zaohua zheng qiao), altering mood and even natural cosmic cycles by means of its evocative power.
		The yongwu shi of Southern Dynasties poets like Xiao Gang is a part of a decadent poetic agenda to challenge and subvert the canonical notion of poetry as an expression of one's feelings and thoughts (shi yan zhi).
		As a result, the yongwu shi of Xiao Gang is marked by an artificial superficiality which is most offensive in the Chinese tradition where sincere and profound content are always valorized.

		And second, that the language of poetry is used as the privileged support of spiritual and divine knowledge, the perpetuity of which it reserves for the exclusive use of gnostics.
		The use of poetry, which is by nature allusive language containing symbolic, and thus ambivalent, expressions, is formally incompatible with such a mission.
		Throughout the entirety of this text, sometimes with dogmatic arguments, sometimes via his own spiritual experience, Ibn 'Arabi persists in showing poetry as the privileged vector of spiritual knowledge, of which it is both a means of access and a means of expression.
