Four outstanding people in Wuzhong refer to four famous gifted scholars: Gao Qi, Yang Ji, Zhang Yu and Xu Ben.
The four poets entered the Ming Dynasty from Yuan Dynasty, and their poems were nostalgic and lyrical, expressing the thoughts of the old country and the pain of the people. Among them, Gao Qi's poems adopt the strengths of many schools, and are free from paranoia. The poems reflecting people's life are simple and true, full of life flavor. The works of hanging the past or expressing the embrace have placed deep feelings on them, and the style is bold and unrestrained.
Yang Ji's poetic style is handsome and delicate. Among them, Yueyang Tower, a five-character rhythmic poem, has a broad realm, and people call Yang Ji a "five-character archer". Zhang Yu's poems are elegant and elegant, and he is the author of "Jing Ju Ji"; Xu Ben is the author of 6 volumes of Beiguo Collection. He is good at painting landscapes, taking Dong Yuan and Ju Ran as examples, and his brush and ink are clear and smooth, and he is also good at ink and bamboo.
The four outstanding people in Wuzhong lived during the change of dynasties in Yuan and Ming Dynasties, and they all had contacts with the regime of Mengyuan, the regime of Zhang Shicheng in Wuzhong at the end of Yuan Dynasty and the regime of Zhu Ming, which later unified the whole country. Their literary achievements are outstanding, and Gao Qi is regarded as the first poet in the Ming Dynasty.
among the four outstanding poets, later generations have the highest evaluation of Gao Qi, who is regarded as the "crown of poets in the early Ming Dynasty". Yang Ji is also famous for his poems, but at the same time he also works as a painter and calligrapher. Because the Five Laws "Yueyang Tower" is well written, people gave him the nickname "Five-character Archer".
The names Zhang Yu and Xu Ben sound strange, especially the former one seems to be singing. Anyway, you just need to remember that they are both big shots of the times. Besides poets, they are also painters, especially Xu Ben's poetry and painting attainments are higher.
