Lonely, poor and studious, he was famous for his literary talent in his early years. In his later years, he was content with high officials and generous salaries, and did not strive for progress, so his talent declined. People call him "Jiang Lang exhausted". His poems are good at imitation, similar in shape and confused with Jiang Yan's introduction, but lack originality. Today, there are over 100 poems. Among them, Thirty Miscellaneous Poems simulates 30 writers from Han Dynasty to Song Dynasty to show their styles and strengths. For example, Tao Zheng Jun Tian Ju imitates Tao Yuanming's pastoral poetry, which has won the artistic conception of Tao poetry, causing this poem to be confused with Tao for a long time. His Fifteen Poems by Ruan Gong is not only similar in style to Ruan Ji's Poems with Love, but also conveys the author's own sense of life experience. In addition, his poems, such as Crossing the Spring to the Top of the Mountain and Wangjing Mountain, are also vigorous and powerful in brushwork, which to some extent got rid of the beautiful style at that time and the habit of rejecting couples. Jiang Yan is good at writing Fu, just like Bao Zhao. Representative works include "Hate Fu" and "Bie Fu". The former describes several different situations in which the ancients "died with hatred", while the latter describes various concrete manifestations of "being in ecstasy, only leaving". Both of them are famous lyric poems in the Southern Dynasties. Although Jiang Yan's introduction is full of sentimental colors, it is beautiful in words and gorgeous in rhyme, which makes people sad to read. Among them, "Spring grass is green, spring water is green, so it hurts to send you to Nanpu!" Expressing the pain of parting with vivid words will be told to future generations. His article is famous for The Book of King Jianping in Prison. The poem I wrote, which I wrote in two episodes, has been lost. Later generations compiled The Complete Collection of Jiang Wen. 9 1 1cha.com
