Elegant - Elegant

A school of poetry from the Qing Dynasty in China. In a broader sense, it can also include the Ming Dynasty's Kobunci School. Shen Deqian, the leader of the Elegant School during the Qianlong period (1736-1795), placed importance on style, or form, and tone, or tone, in poetry. He respected the poetry of the Han, Wei, and Prosperous Tang dynasties, rejected the poetry of the Song and Yuan dynasties, and evaluated the achievements of Li Mengyang, He Jingming, Li Panlong, and Wang Shizhen as the orthodox form of Tang poetry. He also showed sympathy for Wang Shizhen, who advocated the theory of divine rhythm, and tried to fuse with him, but he aimed for a grand and elegant poetic world based on style and academic ability. The Ming Dynasty's Kobunci school had a tendency to severely restrict sources in pursuit of tragic, grandiose, and passionate expressions, whereas the Qing Dynasty had a strong tendency to be gentle and to respect scholarship. However, they both had in common the idea of ​​first trying to obtain the content of poetry by correcting the tone.

中国、清(しん)代の詩の流派。広義では明(みん)の古文辞派をも含めてよぶことがある。乾隆(けんりゅう)期（1736～95）の格調派の指導者沈徳潜(しんとくせん)は、詩歌における格すなわち体裁と、調すなわち声調とを重視する。彼は漢魏(かんぎ)・盛唐の詩を尊重し、宋元(そうげん)の詩を退け、明詩では李夢陽(りぼうよう)、何景明(かけいめい)、李攀竜(りはんりゅう)、王世貞の達成を唐詩の正統として評価した。また神韻説を主唱した王士禎(おうしてい)に対しては同情を示し、それとの融合をも試みているが、格調と学力とに根底を置いた雄渾(ゆうこん)にして高雅な詩的世界を目ざした。明の古文辞派は悲壮、雄渾、激情を求めて典拠を極度に制限する傾きがあったのに対し、清代には温柔にして学問尊重の傾きが強い。しかし、まず格調を正すことにより詩の内容を獲得しようとしている点は共通している。
