What is the basic proposition of Chen Ziang's poetic style reform?

Bold chivalry is a unique style of Chen Ziang's poetry creation, and it is also a new content that can reflect the spiritual outlook of a literati in an era when he advocates elegance and prosperity. It is called the character of Tang poetry. Advocating the prosperity of literary style played a positive role in promoting the transformation of poetic style at that time. Chen Ziang realized this earlier in his creation and made a very clear theoretical exposition. He said in "Oriental Zuo's Bamboo Making Preface":

This kind of article has been harmful for 500 years. Han and Wei figures, Mo Chuan in Jin and Song Dynasties, however, the literature is acceptable. When servants are free, they look at each other's poems, which are colorful and complicated, but they are never happy to send them, sighing through the ages. Thinking of the ancients, I am often afraid that I will be shaken, and I will be uneasy if I don't do it. Yesterday, I found three places, and I saw Ode to a Lonely Tung, with a full back and a frustrated tone. It was brilliant and golden. Then decorate your vision with your heart and play the melancholy down. I didn't think of a good sound. Watching it again can make Jian 'an writers smile at each other.

In this preface, for the first time, Chen Ziang associated the style of Han and Wei with elegance and prosperity, and objected that the works were not elegant and prosperous. In this way, the purpose of returning to nature is not only to compare beauty and excitement, but to trace the tragic and generous spirit of Jian 'an, to entrust the ideal of saving the world and the spirit of life, and to draw a clear line with Qi Liang's poetic style of one-sided pursuit of algae. Secondly, he put forward the ideal of poetic beauty, which is "vigorous and vigorous, full of sound and emotion, bright and heroic, and practical", and demanded that vigorous emotions should be combined with the beauty of temperament and lyrics to create healthy and magnificent literature.

Chen Ziang's poetry creation and theoretical proposition influenced the Tang Dynasty. His pursuit of style and ideal of poetic beauty are of great significance to the reform of Tang poetry. This was confirmed by the further development of literature in the Tang Dynasty, and became the prelude of poetry in the prosperous Tang Dynasty.
