Bao Zhao 鮑照
Bao Zhao 鮑照 (414-466)
De dichter Bao Zhao kende een zeer bescheiden ambtelijke carrière, ondanks zijn erkende literaire talent, en uit zijn poëzie spreekt dan ook zijn teleurstelling over dit feit. Hij wordt geprezen om zijn yuefu-navolgingen en zijn beheersing van de versregel van zeven syllaben. Opvallend binnen de Chinese poëzie zijn de frequente personificaties in zijn gedichten. Bao Zhao is ook bekend om zijn fu waaronder de Wucheng fu (Dicht van de overwoekerende stadsmuur) (Wilt Idema en Lloyd Haft 1995 Chinese Letterkunde: een inleiding, p111)
About 200 of Bao Zhao's poems survive.[6] His works were initially gathered into a collection several decades after his death, but this collection seems to have been lost sometime during the Tang dynasty (618–907). Eleven of Bao's poems are preserved in the early medieval anthology Selections of Refined Literature (Wen xuan 文選).[1]
Bao's most famous piece is his "Fu on the Ruined City" (Wú chéng fù 蕪城賦), a moving fu rhapsody on the former capital, Guangling, which had been razed to the ground in the Northern Wei invasion of January 451. It gives an account of the ruined capital, contrasted with its former grandiosity, in a nostalgic and longing fashion that is common in Liu Song-era poetry.[8] Another of Bao's surviving fu rhapsodies is "Fu on the Dancing Cranes" (Wǔ hè fù 舞鶴賦), which describes a troupe of trained performing cranes.
Bao also composed shi poetry, and is best known for his use of the yuefu lyrical song genre. Bao is the first Chinese poet known to have composed shi poetry in the seven-syllable line format where, instead of the traditional AAAA rhyme scheme in which each line in a stanza rhymed, a more mixed rhyme scheme of ABCB was used.
