Nie Danian's Literary Creation

Nie Danian is famous for his extensive knowledge of group books, profound knowledge of ancient prose and Tang poetry, and good at literary poetry. His poems are widely circulated in the south of the Yangtze River and are often praised and treasured by people. Nie Danian's poems and his ci are similar in spirit and skeleton. The notes outside Yaoshan Hall think that the poem "The Jade House is drunk in the east wind late, and the red curtain looks up at the apricot flowers" is a "truth pen". Ye Sheng called his poems "the swan song of thirty years"; It is as famous as Mahone praised by Yang Shen in the poetry circle.

He has lived in Hangzhou for a long time and has a delicate observation of the lakes and mountains in Hangzhou. Burning candles in the small building is when I am alone. A thousand miles away, the official's feelings change, and it takes ten years to know an old friend. Idle push Jia pity decline, drunk folding famous flowers to continue old poems. Infinitely beautiful West Lake, holding the piano to visit Jiao Mo in the evening ("Xishan drinks farewell poems in a friend's building"). The common flowers and fog, crows, green windows, pavilions, solitary boats and Wu Ji in his poems are also similar to the tone of the words. His poems also express his subjective feelings in life. His poems about the Ten Scenes of the West Lake are fresh in writing, beautiful in language and without artistic conception, and have become a well-known swan song.

Known for his lyrics, he was called "the composer of music in the middle of Ming Dynasty" by his neighbors. However, most of his poems are dry in content, elegant in style and narrow in realm, and their actual achievements are not remarkable. Only a few poems can vividly express their feelings. For example, BuOperator and Liu Yao describe dancers who left the teaching workshop after learning the pipa, while BuOperator describes dissatisfied women who are afraid of their lovers being thin, which can vividly set off their light worries and hatred.

He was a master of calligraphy and painting at that time, and his works were quite distinctive. The calligraphy of Li Yong and Zhao Mengfu is self-propelled, handsome and lovely. Painting mountains and rivers, high, extraordinary ink, quite light and charming. Wuyue's poems, paintings and calligraphy are all treasures.

At the beginning of Hongzhi (around 1488), his posthumous work was carved into Dong Xuanji by his pupil Qian Ang.
