"Ten gifted scholars in Dali period" refers to a group of poets who were active in Dali period. Their titles and names were first seen in Ji Xuan Collection by Yao He: "Li Duan, a native of Zhao County, studied in Dali for five years. Sing with Lu Lun, Ji Zhongyu, Han Yi, Qian Qi, Si Kongshu, Miao Fa, Cui Yi, Geng Yong and Xia Houdun. "
"Ten Talents in Dali" is a naturally formed school. They have neither the same organization nor the same manifesto, but they have the same ideological basis and aesthetic taste, follow the same creative principles, and are in close contact with each other, so they are regarded as one school.
The ten talented people in Dali took Xie Tiao as their ancestor in artistic expression, inherited the style of pastoral poetry, attached great importance to mountains and rivers, and sang songs of nature, among which there were many excellent works. Regular rules and accurate words are also the most obvious features of their works. The genre of their works mostly adopts near-body meter, and Yuefu style is rarely seen.
Postscript and famous sentences can be seen everywhere in the poems of ten gifted scholars, which shows that they all have profound knowledge, so they have amazing pens from time to time. But sometimes it is inevitable to reveal the traces of carving, to lose the big with small, and to the road of aesthetics. Although there are aphorisms, the whole article is not good, which is also the ethos of that era.
