Research on Chen Gongyin and Lingnan Poetry Style

The Lingnan poetry style, known for its innovative spirit and "bold and upright" character, had a significant impact on modern and contemporary Chinese poetry, leading to a poetry revolution in the late Qing Dynasty. The emergence of the "Three Greats of Lingnan" - Qu (Dajun), Chen (Gongyin), and Liang (Peilan) - marked the formation of the Lingnan Poetry School. Among them, Chen Gongyin made notable creative and theoretical contributions, drawing from the Ming Dynasty's "Three Yuans of Gong'an" and Ye Xie's "Original Poetry" theories. Chen's writings embodied the inclusive, spontaneous, and pioneering spirit of Lingnan culture. This book offers a comprehensive analysis, adding a distinctive chapter to the study of Chinese poetry, literary history, and cultural history. It is recommended for those interested in Chinese literature and culture.
