The Role of Poetry in Narrative Prose of the Heian Period

If I encounter poetry in prose, I tend to skip it, scan it, or read it as soon as it looks boring. I am almost embarrassed to admit that reading habits are not an exception to traditional Japanese literature, but since this is the subject of this paper, I have actually been forced to read back and actually read I think. First of all, if it is sufficiently clear in the context, I can understand the meaning of this poem. Those who are unfamiliar with Japanese literature, history, language, etc. can not make the statement of existence recognize.

In the early history of Japanese poetry and literature, the Heian era (794-1185) is one of the most important periods of Japan's unique poetry, also the beginning of the early Japanese literature. Prior to the campaign, most of the poems (there is no reason, notation system of Japanese) written in Japanese is not written with Chinese classics or kanji (kanji). This fact led to the criticism of Chinese poets, so Japanese started trying to find a way to create a unique style of poetry, starting with the creation of new letters.

In the Nara period Japanese native literature began to develop. Court nobility obeys works of history and poetry. In the next Heian period, the tradition of poetry continued, but I saw a masterpiece of prose. The representatives of the two most famous are the two aristocratic women Murasaki who wrote "The Tale of Genji" and the Seishonagon who wrote the living diary of a court called a pillow book. The literature of the Kamakura period (1285-1333) is characterized by historical and historical stories, especially war stories. Many poems were born in this era too. These works are more pessimistic than the past and have nostalgic elements for the lost glory of the Heian period.

The Heian era (794 - 1185) was the last era of traditional Japanese history. It is regarded as the top of the Japanese courts and is known for its art, especially poetry and literature. In the early 11th century, Musashi and Mrs. Musashi who wrote about Japanese things in the novel "Tale of Genji" first surviving in the world. Manyo and Waka flower are the oldest and edited in the Japanese poetry collection. There is a big difference with mainland culture in Asia (writing system, kana etc). Trade inspection and Buddhist pilgrims continued due to the decline of the Tang Dynasty, but the influence of China peaked, and the achievement of the Tang Dynasty 's goal in the Tang Dynasty in 1988 was virtually completed.
