Liu Yuxi's poetic style;
Liu Yuxi is convinced of Taoism. Many years later, he also said that a poet should "understand everything in a few words and serve all kinds of scenery leisurely." The former sentence refers to the conciseness and implication of language, and the latter sentence refers to the observation and meditation of the subject.
Therefore, on the one hand, he attaches importance to making the poetic language exquisite and natural through tempering and polishing, and opposes the use of uncommon words. He put forward that "if you want to use uncommon words to write poetry, you must have a place ... If the younger generation wants to learn poetry, it must be well-founded and not lead the way" ("Liu Bin Jia Luhua");
On the other hand, he attaches great importance to the observation and meditation of the subject. In "Preface to Poems in Jiangling after Autumn", he once said: "If you can leave your desire, you will be empty and enter the scene; There must be a leak when entering, it is shaped by words. Because of the situation, it is clear; Words are chosen by wisdom, so the essence is beautiful. "
Most of Liu Yuxi's poems are natural and fluent, concise and refreshing, and at the same time have an open sense of time and space. For example, his famous phrase "Fang Lin's new leaves urge the morning night, and the waves before the flowing water make waves behind him" ("Lotte Three Gentlemen Divide Poems for Their Merits"), the more prosperous it is, the more prosperous Qin Wangfeng is.
"Appreciating the Spring Festival Gala in Li Yue, the assistant minister of eastern Zhejiang" is a long sentence, and "By the sinking boat, in front of the sick tree" ("The First Banquet in Yangzhou") is a kind of sentiment after his meditation on history and life. This kind of feeling appears in the poem in the form of image, which not only broadens the horizon, but also has an overtime span, showing the blending of history, reality and future here.
