Historical position
The book "Family Instructions of Yan Family" not only recorded many aspects such as "the resurgence of mysterious wind, the popularity of Buddhism, the spread of Xianbei, the Sheng Xing of popular literature" at that time, but also preserved some valuable historical documents for future generations.
Yan Zhitui attaches great importance to literature. He criticized Yang Xiong's view that literature is a small skill, and expounded the importance of literature (including knowledge, oral debate, composition and other cultural qualities) from the perspective of personal cultivation. As for the function of literature, Yan Zhitui not only narrowly attributed it to serving political enlightenment and practicality, but also affirmed that literature has the aesthetic function of pleasing people's eyes and ears and cultivating the soul, and at the same time showed a strong literary aesthetic ability in his creative practice.
His articles are true in content, approachable in writing and unique and simple in style, which has a far-reaching influence on later generations.
