I. Ideological content
In terms of ideological content, it is his practice of the view that "poetry must love". Although he didn't succeed, the poet also made conscious efforts in the direction of "poetry must love". Lu Ji's poetry creation mainly has four themes:
(A) the sadness of vagrants
Lu Ji was originally a gentry in Jiangdong. After the Jin dynasty destroyed Wu, it was called to Luo and bid farewell to its native land. The loneliness in his official career naturally appeared in his poems. Poems about falling to the island, riding with brothers, riding with brothers and dragons, and riding in front of the door. They are all excellent works by Lu Ji to express your sadness.
(2) Pursuing meritorious service
how much is it? When the cave ruled? Depression, depression. As one of the "twenty-four friends", fame and fortune is also the highest pursuit of Lu Ji's life. Poetry in the East Palace, Liang Chen's poems and long songs when he was in Langzhong all showed their persistence in being an official. However, after he became a famous minister in Jiangdong, his poems about homesickness, narration and fatherhood all showed his nostalgia and praise for his parents and ancestors. This kind of paternal-paternal complex has kept him a little proud in this torrent of fame and profit, and at the same time made him miss his hometown more in a foreign land. However, no matter how homesick this wanderer is, he can't give up his pursuit of fame and fortune, which also reflects his strong desire for fame and fortune.
(3) Thinking about life and death
The fear of death in Wei and Jin Dynasties was a common social emotion, and Lu Ji's poems were also filled with a strong sadness of life and death. In his poems, three quasi-elegy poems show the poet's observation and thinking about death, and there are also related creations in his fu. The Ode to Regret for the Past not only expresses the poet's deep feelings about death, but also expounds his philosophical thinking about death.
(D) the reflection of aristocratic life
As a member of the "Twenty-four Friends", this kind of theme in Lu Ji's poetry creation mainly focuses on answering other members' poems and describing some experiences in the process of patrolling, such as The Crown Prince's Banquet, The Inclined Road in Chang 'an, Sunrise in the Southeast Corner and so on.
In most of Lu Ji's literary creation, the ideological content actually serves the form of expression. As far as the most distinctive works in his poetry creation are concerned, the ideological content is mostly the inheritance of the old works, and the purpose of creation is to make a breakthrough in skills. There are only some daily works that express temperament, including some narrative poems and lyric poems, but they reveal some true feelings, but their literary creation as a whole is out of touch with reality and lacks depth.
Second, the expression technique
In terms of expression techniques, he not only used artistic techniques such as synaesthesia and truth, but also developed the application of antithesis and parallelism to a new height. On the Construction of An Chen Si, the Next Kaiyuan Jia Xie Yan.
