Bao Zhao was a scholar in the Liu and Song Dynasties in Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, and was also called "three outstanding men in Yuanjia" with Xie Lingyun and Yan Yanzhi. Bao Zhao's official career was bumpy and he was poor all his life. His poems were not taken seriously at that time. His poems are neither elegant nor elegant, nor are they as simple and free as Tao Yuanming. However, his poems pay attention to real life, expose and reflect the social situation at that time, create many miscellaneous poems and seven-character poems, inherit the ancient meaning of ancient topics, and innovate their own themes and new ideas, which are extremely precious in the comparison between the metaphysical poems of the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the poems of Qi Liang and Chen Gong, and have influenced the seven-character poems of later generations. Bao Zhao wrote about 200 poems in his life, nearly half of which were Yuefu poems. Bao Zhao's Yuefu poems inherited and carried forward the realistic tradition of the Book of Songs and Yuefu in the Han and Wei Dynasties, dared to express their feelings, varied sentence patterns and diverse themes, and finally formed their own unique style. Bao Zhao's Yuefu poems are strongly realistic, but he can also express them in romantic and lyrical language. The theme he chose comes from a wide range of real social life, paying attention to ordinary people and even the bottom people. Even when he writes about landscapes and sings about things, he has a strong allegory, instead of simply singing away from the secular manor landscape.
Mr. Wang thinks: "Looking at Bao Zhao's poems and the comments of ancient and modern scholars, we can summarize the characteristics of Bao Zhao's" dangerous custom "poetry style as follows: Bao Zhao's" danger "is mainly reflected in the form: the emotional tone of grief and indignation and straightforward expression; Create new dangerous and fast-paced words and so on. And' vulgarity' is manifested in the concern for the daily life and thoughts and feelings of middle and lower-class scribes, wanderers and women, while the form is a reference to the fresh and vigorous style of folk songs.
