ABSTRACT

Study of Zhen Dexiu's literary thought has always been the lack of attention to the prefaces and postscripts, especially the calligraphy inscriptions. Zhen Dexiu basically stuck to the spirit of Zhu Xi’s thought, and on the basis he made a further development, the formation of more “authentic” Neo-Confucianism thought of literature and art. In his view, calligraphy and writer’s moral was an organic whole, the two could complement each other. His criticism on calligraphy and poetry, mainly concentrated in the work content and the writer’s moral character, less on the art skill of works. Based on this, he also try hard to interpret the poetry and personality of Tao Yuanming, Yang Yi and so on, who were known by his poetic prose, in the sense of Neo Confucianism. He respected the value of moral education of literary and artistic works, meanwhile further degraded the level of aesthetic artistic, his thought of literature and art seem conservative and paranoia, also embodying the obvious characteristic of the Neo Confucianism literary thought.
