The Western Jin Dynasty and the Eastern Jin Dynasty in the Poems of the Three Kingdoms and the Jin Dynasty
Represented by Liu Kun and Guo Pu. They all live in troubled times and are directly involved in the whirlpool of social contradictions, so the realism of poetry is quite strong. Liu Kun expressed his feelings in the adversity of saving the country alone, saying that "good words are violent, and there is a clear and easy atmosphere" (Zhong Rong's poem); Guo Pu implicitly expressed his feelings of fear of disaster, longing for "dancing high" and "leaving the world behind" by wandering immortals. These are all Yu Nian who built a safe and comfortable life, which is different from Taikang's poetic style. However, Liu Kun and Guo Pu's life experience and ideological interest are unique after all, and their honesty, elegance and vulgarity failed to reverse the poetic style. After Yongjia, metaphysical poetry prevailed in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, which was a reflection of the gentry's indulgence in metaphysics at that time. The authors of metaphysical poems are Sun Chuo and Xu Xun. They describe Hyunri with poems, which are unremarkable, "all are like the theory of morality" (Preface to Poetry), and their achievements are not high.
