Abstract

The ancient Chinese dynasties have seen repeated military campaigns and battles, and the creation of diatribes has flourished since the Six Dynasties. Not many diatribes from the Northern Dynasty have been preserved, and they are basically in loose form, but the creation of Lubuwen was more prosperous than that of the Southern Dynasty. In the Song dynasty, diatribe and Lubuwen became one of the contents of the Song imperial examinations, as opposed to diatribe, which was not even tested at one time, but Lubuwen was a compulsory part of the examination, and therefore became more and more important. The diatribe is not in prose either, because to inspire the soldiers to make common cause and to kill the enemy, it is necessary to fully mobilize the rhetorical techniques such as counterpoint, prose and exaggeration to intimidate the enemy, so even the prose diatribe is often used in a certain amount of parallelism or prose. The ancient Chinese diatribe fully exploited the advantages of parallel prose, and was full of vigor and majesty. Some ancient monks, in order to propagate Buddhism and attack heretics, also created parallel game diatribes and Lubuwen, which strongly exaggerated the strength of Buddhism and vividly depicted the magnificent battle of gods and demons, thus enriching the creation of ancient Chinese diatribes and Lubuwen.
