同其他事物一样,在诗歌史上,四言诗也经历了由盛而衰的过程。东晋末年诗歌向着“庄、老告退、山水方滋”的方向一直发展,并且出现了像陶渊明这样的诗人,使此时的诗歌艺术出现了些许的复兴气象。从陶渊明入手可以揭示晋末四言诗发展的必然命运。 Like other things, in the history of poetry, the four-character poem also experienced a process of decline from prosperity. The poems in the late Eastern Jin dynasty headed toward the direction of “Zhuang, Lao Lao Ti, Lao Shui and Fang Shui,” and developed poets like Tao Yuanming, bringing a slight revival of the poetic art at this time. Starting from Tao Yuanming can reveal the inevitable fate of the development of four-character poems in late Jin Dynasty.
