A brief analysis of Zhan Chengnan’s works

Zong Lai was not only proficient in Buddhist philosophy, but also annotated sutras and composed music, and he also chanted allegorical poems and chapters endlessly. He was also good at calligraphy, especially at Li, and he was famous at that time. Yu Ji, Huang Shu, Zhang Zhu and other literary giants in the late Yuan Dynasty all respected him and made friends with him. Although most of his poems are about singing and socializing, there are also many fresh and smooth poems full of life interest. In particular, poems about visiting ancient times, such as "Tongque Terrace", are rich in emotion and profound in artistic conception, and have been widely circulated. And this song "Battle of the South", which borrows an ancient title, is even more popular and clear. Although it writes about distant historical events, it clearly reflects the social reality of war and disaster during the Yuan and Ming Dynasties. The south of Zhancheng is the name of the Han cymbal song. Write about the scenes of casualties on the battlefield and mourn the fallen soldiers. Liang Wujun of the Southern Dynasty, Lu Zhaolin of the Tang Dynasty, Li Bai and others all had this work.
