    The "Songs" of Wei Ying-wu

    Full text link
    The T'ang poet Wei Ying-wu (737?-790?) has left some 40 poems with the title "Ko-hsing" or "Songs." In content they tend to fall into two categories, those which are strongly colored by religious Taoism, and those which express social and political criticism. Both categories derive from the poet's experiences as a member of the aristocracy and an official at the court of Emperor Hsilan-tsung (685-762). Emperor Hsüan-tsung began his reign in 713, and when Wei Yingwu first entered official service as a member of the imperial guard, the T'ang court was strongly imbued with an atmosphere of religious Taoism, the founder of Taoism being worshipped as an ancestor of the imperial family. The life of the court was marked by a brilliance and lavishness that made it seem to belong to the world of the Taoist immortals rather than to the mundane world, and Wei Ying-wu's poems capture the full brilliance of the time. But this world was wiped out by the An Lu-shan rebellion, which led to Emperor Hsüan-tsung's abdication in 755 and his death not long after, and Wei Ying-wu was compelled, like so many others of the time, to undergo great hardship. Determined to work toward the restoration of the glory of Emperor Hsüan-tsung's time, he took the civil service examination and became a member of the bureacracy. But his official career was beset by frequent frustrations, while at the same time he could not help but observe the numerous ills that beset the society of his age. His observations in time took form in his poems of political and social criticism. Thus it may be seen that both types of poems entitled "Ko-hsing" are very closely related to Wei Ying-wu's career as a courtier and an official, and are therefore very different in tone from his more lyrical works, which abound in an air of Buddhist quietism. But it is perhaps precisely because he had the "Ko-hsing" poems in which to give expression to his observations and criticisms of society that his meditative poems were able to concentrate upon the creation of a mood of pure lyricism
