Taking Mulan's poems as an example, this paper explains the artistic style of poetry in the Northern Dynasty (compared with that in the Southern Dynasty). Thank you.

Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties is the development period of China's poems, including five-character poems and seven-character poems. The most important poems in this period are those in Jian 'an period, and the poems of Three Caos, especially Cao Zhi, have influenced the present and future generations. The most famous poets are Tao Yuanming and Xie Lingyun, who created China's pastoral poems. Of course, Shen Yue's "eternal style" of poetic meter can't be ignored. Mulan Poem is an excellent folk poem in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, while the poetess Cai Yan's Mourning for the Past is a masterpiece among literati poems.

During the Eastern Jin Dynasty, metaphysics and clear talk prevailed, and the gentry regarded it as elegant to be able to talk about metaphysics, and even handled state affairs safely. The prevalence of metaphysical poetry in the Eastern Jin Dynasty is the product of the blending of metaphysics of Laozi and Zhuangzi and landscape theory. Zhong Rong's Shi Pin said that metaphysical poetry was "flat and moral" and "unreasonable and tasteless". It was not until the appearance of Tao Yuanming's pastoral poems in the late Eastern Jin Dynasty and the rise of landscape poems in the Southern Dynasties that this bad poetic style was changed.

There have been obvious changes in the poetry creation in the Western Jin Dynasty. Generally speaking, it lacks realistic content and attaches importance to formal beauty. The poem "Wen Xin Diao Long Ming" says that "take poetry from the beginning and be softer than Jian 'an", and the text "Love Collection" also says that "the body and emotion control the sky, and the more prosperous it is".

Great changes have taken place in the ideological content and artistic form of literati poems in the Southern Dynasties. The rise of landscape poems represented by Xie Lingyun, the development of Bao Zhao's seven-character and miscellaneous Yuefu poems; The "Eternal Style" represented by Xie Tiao marks the beginning of metrical poetry. During the Liang and Chen Dynasties, palace poems appeared. The representative work of folk songs in the Southern Dynasties is the long love song Xizhou Qu. Folk songs in the Southern Dynasties have a similar feature in content, that is, almost all of them are love songs. Poetry is small, five words and four sentences, four sentences to explain; Write more bold and passionate love; The language is fresh and natural; Extensive use of metaphor and exaggeration, especially puns and argots; The language is fresh and natural, euphemistic and implicit; Soft and elegant style.

Northern literature declined in the Five Lakes and Sixteen Countries and the early Northern Wei Dynasty, except Yuefu folk songs. The outstanding contribution is the folk songs of the Northern Dynasties, with two representative works: Chile Song and Mulan Poetry. The artistic characteristics of folk songs in the Northern Dynasties are mainly reflected in the following points: the genre is diverse, with four words, seven words and miscellaneous words besides five words; The language is popular, simple and vigorous; The expression is straightforward and the style is rough and bold, which is in sharp contrast with the folk songs of the Southern Dynasties.
