Shihua (simplified Chinese: 诗话; traditional Chinese: 詩話; pinyin: shīhuà; Wade–Giles: shih-hua[1] – “poetry talks; poetry critique; comments on poetry”) is a Chinese form of poetic criticism that carries the character of suibi (隨筆 – “sketch, free essay”), a kind of “pure talk” about poetry.
Xu Yi 许顗 (Southern Song dynasty) wrote in his Yanzhou shihua 彦周诗话 (Poetry Remarks of Xu Yanzhou) about the shihua:[2]
“詩話者，辨句法，備古今，紀聖德，錄異事，正訛誤也。”
[…] to distinguish poetic methods, to supply examples from past and present, to give account of sagely virtues, to record anomalous events, and to rectify faults and errors.[3]
This genre allows the poet-critic to comment freely, without being bound to any fixed scheme: from the aesthetic appreciation of a single verse or even a single word, to the discussion of weighty literary issues – in any length or brevity.
The genre of shihua began with the work Liuyi shihua (六一詩話) by Ouyang Xiu (1007–1072) and developed into modern China with Yinbing shi shihua[4] (飲冰室詩話 “Poetry talks from the Ice-drinker’s studio”) by Liang Qichao (1873–1929).
Alone in the Song dynasty, there were said to be over 140 different collections of shihua.
Various anthologies were compiled, such as Lidai shihua 历代诗话 (one of Wu Jingxu 吴景旭 (1611–1695), the other by He Wenhuan 何文煥 (1732–1808)) and Lidai shihua xubian 历代诗话续编 by Ding Fubao 丁福保 (1874–1952).
A Dictionary of ancient Chinese shihua and cihua (Zhongguo gudai shihua cihua cidian 中国古代诗话词话辞典)[5] was published in 1992,[6] a Dictionary of Chinese shihua (Zhongguo shihua cidian 中国诗话辞典) in 1996.[7]
According to its bibliography, the Hanyu da zidian (HYDZD) cites the following works with shihua in their titles (together with the editions):[8]
- ^ The ABC Dictionary (Wenlin) by John DeFrancis notes for shihua the following meanings: „① notes on poets and poetry ② vernacular stories interspersed with poems ③ narratives written in the Song dynasty“
- ^ Yanzhou shihua 彥周詩話 (Wikisource)
- ^ Cited after Yin Jiang: Yuan Mei’s Suiyuan Shihua and the Transformation of Qing Dynasty Shihua Writing Available to Purchase. Journal of Chinese Literature and Culture (2014) 1 (1-2): 90–124 (in partial view)
- ^ Digital opy
- ^ cihua (simplified Chinese: 词话; traditional Chinese: 詞話; pinyin: cíhuà) “notes and comments on Ci poetry”
