| Abstract |
Having developed to Tang Dynasty, the decorum for the formation of Fu is estabLeeshed. With the fusion of the rhyming rules of the critics in Chi and Leeang Dynasty, Shu-Leen’s and Yu-Shin’s rules of sentence formation in Fu, and the writing techniques for Fu of Tang’s Fu writers, the unique “Lue Fu” is formed and turns to be a subject in Tang’s official exam. Though Lue Fu is necessary in Tang’s official exam, the writers speciaLeezed in this genre are small in number. Most of them write Fu based on the charm of benefit. Referring to Chao-Leen’s Yin Hwa Lu, the top five Fu writers are as following: Lee-Chen, Wang-Chi, Bai Ju-Yie and his brother, and Chang Chon-Su. The five excellent Fu writers, all Mid-Tang people, serve as the norm for the future Fu learners. Among the five, Lee-Chen and Wang-Chi are speciaLeezed in writing Lue Fu. Lee is a man with humorous and carefree characters. However, his Fu style is serious, formal and follows the decorum for writing Fu. The number of Lee’s existent Lue Fu works is twenty-five. The article explores the writing skills of Lee-Chen through three aspects—the explanation of topic, the citation of masterpieces, and the use of rhyme and rhythm. With the use of tables and categories, Lee’s writing skills of Fu are clearly revealed. |
