Abstract:Ancient artifact poetry refers to a type of poetry that is written on various tools that combine historical significance and practical value. This type of poetry, rich in knowledge and interest, gradually flourished during the Tang and Song dynasties. The themes of ancient artifact poetry in the Tang Dynasty focus on two types of artifacts: “Ancient Swords” and “Ancient Mirrors”. The poetry of ancient artifacts in the Song Dynasty underwent several changes in writing content compared to the Tang Dynasty, while continuing the original themes in the Tang Dynasty, which is manifested in the enlargement of ancient artifact writing subject matter, the refinement of ancient artifact classification, the tokenization of ancient artifact unearthed, and the appearance of ancient artifact inscriptions and inscriptions. Gexing style is a common genre of ancient utensil poetry in the Tang Dynasty. Relying on the most expressive and lyrical seven-character songs, Tang Dynasty ancient utensil poetry is full of romantic, unrestrained and magnificent artistic color. The proportion of the Song Dynasty ancient utensils poems who choose the song style has decreased, and the probability of choosing the Wugu and recent poems has increased significantly, which makes the Song Dynasty ancient utensils poems heavier and bland than the Tang Dynasty poems. This is mainly due to the legendary and lyrical style of the song, as well as the strong emotional tone. Song people had a lot of exposure to ancient artifacts, which led to a calm mood. The restrictive nature of lyric titles in conveying emotions and meanings was also not conducive to Song poets using poetry as a medium to participate in interpersonal communication. The ancient artifact poems of the Tang Dynasty did not convey too much personal emotion, This writing tendency was broken in the middle of the Northern Song Dynasty by scholar groups such as Liu Chang and Mei Yaochen, who gathered to appreciate and play with the ancients, created numerous poems documenting group gatherings and antique appreciation, and began to express their deep emotions in the poetry of ancient artifacts, showing their interest in appreciating ancient artifacts and looking back on history.
