Study of the Qing poetry in Russia
Keywords:
Chinese literature, Qing dynasty literature, history of literatureAbstract
Many significant plays and novels were written in the Qing age; however, they could never completely replace poetry. Qing poetry outpaced the literary production in previous dynasties in terms of the number of composed poems. This shows that plays and novels could by no means substitute poetry. The love for poetry writing persisted. In Russian Sinology, Qing poetry has not been studied thoroughly enough. In the 1960s the journal “Peoples of Asia and Africa” hosted a discussion concerning the periodization of Chinese literature, primarily, of Qing literature. The main question was whether the whole Qing literature or only that part of it which was written upon the onset of the ‘Opium Wars’ should be considered as belonging to the modern cultural movement. Another general problem was the idea of Chinese Enlightenment. The majority of researchers, when speaking of 18th century literature, focus primarily on this period’s prose, and the fact that these authors also created poetic works is skated over. The poetry of the 17th and 19th centuries is also represented by a few poets. So Qing poetry has not yet been studied sufficiently.
