Abstract

Shihua (poetry talks), categorized into two major schools: the Ouyang School, centered around Ouyang Xiu's Liuyi Shihua, primarily focusing on poetry and related events; and the Zhong School, centered around Zhong Rong's Shipin, mainly discussing poetry and rhetoric. The initial emergence of Shihua is closely related to historical records and notes in terms of content, form, and creative mentality. Since historical records and notes belong to the genre of note-taking literature, they have been consistently included in the Zibu-Xiaoshuojialei of bibliographies. The first work to categorize “Shihua” was the Songshi-Yiwenzhi, which, according to the form and content of Shihua, respectively listed them under the Zibu-Xiaoshuojialei and Jibu-Wenshilei. This categorization implies that during the Song and Yuan dynasties, people's understanding of Shihua was not clear enough, and the classification was not rigorous enough, leading to the omission of “one type of work listed under two categories”. After the Southern Song Dynasty, the development of Shihua gradually leaned towards the Zhong School, with the vast majority focusing primarily on poetic analysis and rhetoric, a trend even more pronounced in the Ming and Qing dynasties. By then, it was already clear to people that Shihua was primarily a poetic critique work based on poetic theory, hence its classification in bibliographies under the Jibu-Wenshilei or Jibu-Shiwenpinglei.
