He put forward the creative ideas of combining literature with meaning, combining textual research with lyricism, taking spirit, reason, qi and taste as the essence of the text, and combining body, rhyme, sound and hue as the roughness of the text, as well as the artistic style theory of masculinity and femininity, which pushed Tongcheng School's literary theory to a peak. * * * Prose is famous for its completeness and preciseness, clarity and naturalness, conciseness and liveliness.
