ABSTRACT

Banquet poems have achieved great success in the development of Chinese literature, in which people usually express their observations and feelings at banquets through poetic forms. The social behaviours reflected in banquet poems have different characteristics in different times. In the Pre-Qin period, banquets were aimed at promoting “rituals” as social purposes, emphasising moral education. During the Wei and Jin dynasties, banquets were divided into two types: public banquets and private banquets. Public banquets were important social occasions but had a tendency towards extravagance and waste, while private banquets were more casual and had rich and interesting content. In the Tang Dynasty, with the development of the imperial examination system, the Jinshi banquet gradually became popular, and the themes of banquet poems further expanded. Banquet poems from different periods can indirectly reflect the changes and development of traditional Chinese social behaviours.
