The Development of Lyric Poems
抒情诗的发展
In the surging Chinese literary flow, the Chinese ancestors selected the concise, reverberating lyric poems as a medium to give vent to their native sentiments and unsophisticated ideals. The lyric-poem type literary works have become the mainstream of the course of progress of Chinese literature. The lyrical tradition has permeated also the Chinese prose,drama and novel,and has become the common literary consciousness of generations of Chinese literati. So, this can be credited as the foremost characteristic of the Chinese literature.
在中国文学的潮流的刺激下,中国人的祖先选择了简洁的反射的抒情诗为媒介来宣泄自己的本土情怀和单纯的理想。抒情诗式的文学作品已经成为中国文学进行过程中的主流。抒情诗的传统已经渗透中国散文,戏剧和小说,并已成为中国世代文人共同的文学意识。因此,这可以成为中国文学最重要的特征。
