Who is the advocate of "writing books with anger"?

Sima Qian, a famous historian and writer in Han Dynasty, advocated the theory of "writing books with anger". The so-called "anger" refers to the writer's depression, psychological oppression and frustration. He can use his books to express his views and restore his psychological balance. Sima Qian summed up the deeds of many great men who wrote books in adversity in history and put forward the theory of "writing books with anger". Sima Qian's "writing books with anger" did not appear out of thin air. He has a deep historical origin and is the product of his own experience.

The Analects of Confucius? Yang Huo wrote: "Poetry can be aroused, observed, gathered and resented." The so-called "resentment" means satirizing superiors and complaining without anger.

"Poetry can complain" is the bud of "writing a book with anger", and "expressing emotion with anger" is the originator of "writing a book with anger". For the first time, Qu Yuan put forward in Nine Chapters that "I feel anxious when reciting, and express my feelings with anger", which should have an important influence on Sima Qian's thought. However, in Huai Nan Zi written by Liu An in the Han Dynasty, it is recorded that "the anger in the ambition is accumulated inside, and the surplus in the sound is in harmony with the people's heart", and "it is also a sign of a person's vocal music, and the effect of crying is also sad, and the anger in it should be external". The explanation of "anger as the outside" is closer to "writing a book with anger"

On the basis of summarizing predecessors' experience and basing on reality, Ma Qian put forward an important literary theory of "writing books with anger", which occupies an important position in the history of China's literary theory and has far-reaching influence.

Writing in anger is certainly developed under the influence of The Book of Songs, Qu Yuan and Liu An, but it is also a portrayal of the author's real situation. Today, we can still inherit the effect of "writing books with anger" and write something to express our inner sadness and sadness when we are depressed in work, life and study.

We can also expand the scope of this "venting", involving the feeling of happiness, sharing the beauty with others, and more importantly, carrying forward the spinal cord spirit in the "angry book"-poverty is strong. Life is inevitably unhappy, which requires patience and strong spirit. Therefore, "indignation" is based on the times and has an inestimable role.
