From an artistic point of view, Huang Cheng's poems are rigorous and concise. "Biography of Yuan History" said: "Zhen's knowledge is rich in world books and even refined. It dissects and explains the classics, doubts the past and doubts the present, and quotes classics, which are not published by many scholars. Words and sentences are carefully arranged, auxiliary and meticulous, accurate and graceful, and the voice is not loud. Such as Hu Chenghu, the waves are quiet, fish, turtles and mosquitoes lurk, and the deep light is beyond my ability. " Song Lian wrote in "Preface to Huang Wenxian Official Documents": "Teacher Wang" has been a writer for almost thirty years, smart and handsome, and has been a hero all his life, so he can be described as a person from absolute beauty. Today's critics only know that Mr. Wang's writing style is clear, round and flexible. For example, Sun Wu used his troops, and he was elusive, but his department was not chaotic. Who is the only one who has a husband? "Huang Cheng's poetry, whether it is reasoning, remembering or lyrical, is brilliant in literary talent and praised by contemporary and later scholars. Wang Xian called it "a generation of Confucianism, an eternal teacher". "
Huang Cheng's Ode to Xue Xuanzan discusses the importance of learning in plain and simple words, which is concise and thought-provoking. The text says: "The utensil must be cut before it becomes, and the Tao must be learned before it is known." To this end, Huang Cheng shouted in the article: "Please praise Xue Xuan and confuse poetry with heart."
Huang Cheng's epitaph and epitaph are always based on the life stories of the characters, affirming and praising their fine character and carrying forward the traditional spirit of the Chinese nation, which is touching to read. The preface or postscript he wrote hit the nail on the head, commented on the works of many literati at that time, and expounded the truth of writing poetry. As a dazzling literary star, Huang Cheng's poems are beautiful in words, sincere in feelings, profound in artistic conception and full of philosophy. Many of these poems reflect the life scenes of working people at that time and express the voices of ordinary people in a realistic way. There are also some poems in which the poet is full of passion and speaks out for the people. Among them, there is a poem "Looking at the Spring Mausoleum of the Five Cishan Mountains, feeling close to things, and its rhyme contains my feelings":
Only when the king builds an official can the people's lives be guaranteed. I can't help asking about the flow, but I can't do anything about it.
People who belong to the zodiac, who have made friends in autumn, winter and summer, look extremely sour and sad.
The red sun gallops and the horses are tired at the same time.
Even if you see the slogan, you can't save hunger and death.
I still smell the whip. It stung my skin.
It must be reviewed repeatedly, and account payment is often late.
Mourn for your children and trade will be safe.
I think I want to have no regrets, so why should I pursue it in the past?
Shame on you. Ok, let's postpone the tax payment.
Clouds and lakes are urgent, and more signs follow.
But it will be filled and repeated.
Meat is not contemptuous, which means I need to know.
Habitat and stones are stored, stripped and cut.
Words are vicious neighbors, you can be kind.
I'd rather know that I'm from this state. Once I die, I have nothing.
Breathe after speaking, and support step by step.
Better than heaven, who is suffering and who is breathing?
Bow your head and go to the county seat to be idle and blame yourself.
The situation forced the big government to order and contact the flight operators to move.
Jackals are in the suburbs, and falcons should be able to use them.
If you are just a fox and a rabbit, Zheng Er will lose more.
I am too cheap to discuss, and I am sorry for you.
This poem, with vivid description, records the tragic scene that the government levied rent tax, which led to the poor people and even betrayed their children. It is difficult for the poet to restrain his grief and indignation, and he said frankly, "I am too cheap to talk about it!" " After careful study, this poem is really like Du Fu's Car Shop, which describes the sufferings of working people in feudal society.
There are also many landscape poems praising the motherland's landscape, which are beautifully written. For example:
On Yongkang Yan Tao, the stone is as flat as a knife, and the flying clouds are near the ladder.
Don't be poor forever, but cherish the low mountains.
Cao Ling grows in spring, and rare birds crow in the trees.
People talk about the past, but there are questions about feelings.
Lingyuan
(One of the Eight Poems of "Journey to the North of Jinhua")
I am in the middle of the mountain, and I stay in the clouds.
On the first night, the pale lights flashed and the rain filled the depths of the house.
Time is clear in Sanskrit, a song in the pine forest.
Barong building
Looking back at the ancient ruins, I hope I can get credit for going upstairs late.
The autumn shade is thin and the river is inclined to the city.
The world is sad and wandering, and the frost feels old.
The red dust blows short brown, and it is prosperous and clear. Huang Cheng's prose is like a cloud, and its narrative focuses on discussion, reasoning and sticking to nature, giving people enlightenment and wisdom. Some of these chapters, criticizing the current malpractices, exposing the darkness of officialdom and lashing hypocrites, can be said to be profound.
Lun Jia, which is included in Huang Wenxian's Miscellaneous Official Documents, is actually an essay. At the beginning of the article, rich brushstrokes are used to describe the bustling scene of "Jia District", that is, the market. "Wu Zhiyan and Shu Bu's beautiful arrow will be replaced by a famous horse. As for the people who paint the tendons and glue, there is no difference between the two. " Then, he wrote about the dangers of dealing in precious commodities, saying: "Yin in North Dan Xian, which is extremely rich and rare, is also a group of bonfires, risking hundreds of deaths, but it can seize the houses of tigers, leopards, mosquitoes and turtles." However, in order to get rich profits, businessmen are always "servants, wealth of ships and cars, fearful, shrewd and sharp-eyed." But at that time, "vulgar things" were always "despised by literati and ashamed of their dirty teeth". Therefore, the author asked sharply and profoundly, "What are the fruits of those people who are called Mr. Adults today?" The article points out that there are many so-called scholar-officials, who call themselves "noble people", but they don't seek real talent and practical learning, and they don't seek welfare for the people. Instead, they only know how to "pretend to be pure and have no desire", get high salaries, lead a corrupt life and be morally corrupt, which is worse than the honesty and frankness of businessmen. The article said, "Who are those people who call the sellers?" ? How many people can compensate others for their frankness and immorality! "In feudal society, it is really commendable that Huang Cheng attached so much importance to businessmen, compared them with literati and gave them a fair evaluation.
Huang Cheng's "Persuade Agriculture" has clear ideas, expounds the importance of agriculture, and puts forward the problem of how to strive for a bumper harvest. At the beginning of the article, I shouted loudly: "People who had people's associations in ancient times always put agriculture first." So, how to overcome drought and flood and reduce famine? Citing the historical fact that Wei Wenhou turned Li Kui into a field, the article puts forward the viewpoint that "those who want to do their best in fertility also care about doing their best in manpower", and holds that "diligence increases age" and "laziness decreases age". The author also contacted Zhuji Prefecture, which was an official at that time, hoping to "lead the children and exhaust their limbs to engage in nanmu". In this way, "you will meet people of rich age, and your expenses will increase and you will accumulate more." Even if there is drought or flood, there is no need for food. " Huang Cheng also suggested rewarding those who have made achievements in agricultural production to enhance people's sense of responsibility for agricultural production. It can be seen that Huang Cheng is the next official, caring for the people and developing agricultural production conscientiously.
Talking about Water to the River praised the essence of water with beautiful words, rich associations and incisive descriptions. Then, with a stroke of a pen, I hope that people will "help each other in the same boat", and even if they are overqualified, they should sincerely contribute to the country and the people. Huang Cheng is a master of calligraphy. He practiced calligraphy since childhood, lived in school and became his own family, forming an elegant and elegant style. When he saw the original works of calligraphers of past dynasties, he always found the treasure and studied it carefully. He wrote a postscript for many tablets, stickers, stone carvings, epitaphs and inscriptions in his life. Among them are: posting Yongkang, posting Su Gong's father and son's ink, posting Guo Gong's epitaph, posting Zhu, posting Han Zhen's praise, posting ink, posting ink, posting rice and posting Song Gong's ink. Mr. Hui 'an posted it, Mr. Jing posted it, Lanting posted it, Qingshou posted it, Yu Ci Yong Huai posted it, Song Wanggong posted it, and the two dynasties posted it, Lanting posted it and cutie posted it. Postscript of Gong and Mr. Yin Scheeren, Postscript of Dongpo's Longjing, Postscript of Mo Gong, Postscript of Ink, Postscript of Zhao Shu Ouyang Eight Methods, Postscript of Wen Gong Tong, and so on.
Huang Cheng is also a painter. Good at painting landscapes, the pen is close to Wang Meng. The works handed down from ancient times include Axis of Plum Blossom Bookstore, which was written in Zheng Zheng for seven years (1347). Paper is colored, pen and ink are ancient, and the momentum is vigorous.
In these postscript, Huang Cheng not only described the reasons and contents of these Mo Bao, but also evaluated his calligraphy, showing his profound calligraphy attainments. Huang Cheng wrote in the Book of Dongpo Returning to Zhong You: "When the ancients came to the book, they took the meaning more than the shape. It is only natural to see the two kings in the Tang Dynasty, except Su Gong. Today's goodness is similar, which can be described as the best in the world. Is it really that the wisdom of the ancients is not enough? " This is a clever way to learn calligraphy, how accurate it is.
Just like this, people at that time all wanted Mo Bao in Huangcheng, even a small chess piece with few characters would cherish it and be proud of it. Tao, a writer in the late Yuan Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty, said in the Book History Society: "Xue became a calligrapher. Wei (Su) promised to taste the cloud:' I studied all my life, and I let Huang Jinqing listen to one person's words'. " Huang Cheng's original calligraphy works, He De Mao Za, Rabbit Tie Ying and Postscript Lanting, were included in Sanxi Hall, Fa Tie, and became an indispensable glorious page in the history of calligraphy. Up to now, Huang Cheng's original works can be seen in the Drum Tower of Beijing Beihai Park. In the autumn of the 13th year of Zheng Zheng (1353), Huang Cheng presided over the revision of Yiwu County Records, with a total of 7 volumes.
