Abstract:
Men of letters in the Tang and the Song Dynasty tended to accept and appreciate the Han Fu-poetry, which enhanced the classicization of the Fu-poetry. This classicization was realized mainly in development of traditional subjects and artistic forms and absorption of traditional way of expression. Moreover, men of letters and literary critics summarized and criticized the Fu-poetry theoretically, which meant another important means to classicization. The numerous notes, selections and abstracts of the Han Fu-poetry added a great deal to its classicization. All these laid a foundation for a large-scale documentation of the Han Fu-poetry in the Ming and the Qing Dynasty.
