Extended data:
On Five Poems II is the work of Zhao Yi, a poet in Qing Dynasty. This poem expresses the author's advocate that poetry creation should have the spirit of the times and personality characteristics, be bold and innovative, and oppose conformism. Among them, "talented people come forth in large numbers, each leading the way for hundreds of years" is a well-known sentence.
Appreciation of works:
The first two sentences of the poem take the poems of Li Bai and Du Fu as examples: "Du Li's poems are widely circulated, but they are not new so far." In order to explain the change of poetic style from generation to generation, the poet quoted two famous poets in the history of poetry, Li Bai and Du Fu in the Tang Dynasty, as examples.
Li Bai and Du Fu's poems have been handed down from generation to generation, and no one can compare them. Even great poets like Li and Du Fu, whose poems have been circulated for thousands of years, are no longer fresh when they are circulated to the public.
From the perspective of historical development, every era has its leading figures. It can be seen that "talented people come forth in large numbers, each leading the way for hundreds of years", and affectionate people appear from generation to generation in the country, and their respective influences are only a few hundred years.
The author believes that poetry should keep pace with the times, and poets should be innovative in their creation, not deliberately imitating, but following in the footsteps of the ancients.
