1, the work is refined, and the curiosity of language creation is still hard. "Guti" emphasizes words, pays attention to making statements, writing hard words, refining words and making sentences, turning stone into gold, and deliberately putting aside differences. Taking Huang's poems as an example, the sound of frying tea is described by "blowing a car around the gut" (see "Giving the troupe a half-standing and innocent, the poem has a preface"), while the noble character and bright festival of bamboo are compared by people with lofty ideals in ancient times as: "Being a person, being lonely, being a barbarian, being a Shu Qi person, being thin" (see "Posting the title proclaimed by Master Ben Jun of Rongzhou Zuyuan"
2, awkward sentences, pay attention to the old meaning. The so-called "awkward sentence" is mainly to change the sentence pattern and parallelism in rhythmic poetry, or to make the style abnormal by changing the sentence order, or to make the tone abrupt by changing the parallelism between a sentence and a couplet, so as to deliberately create an effect of breaking the balance and harmony, giving people a strange and stubborn feeling. Such as "herding cattle with bamboo and stone": "I love it very much and don't send cattle to grind their horns." The horn is acceptable, and the bull fights me. " One or three of them changed the orthography of five-character poems, making the style weird.
3. Pay attention to the use of allusions and turn decay into magic. Huang Tingjian holds that poetry is "without words and nowhere", and ancient poetry is used to make poetry, which is called "turning stone into gold". Huang used a lot of allusions and used them to innovate. For example, he wrote a poem to his friend Huang Jifu: "I live in Junnanhai, Beihai, and I can't help but thank you for your letter. Peach and plum spring breeze, a glass of wine, ten years of night rain. Housekeeping, but with four vertical walls, does not cure diseases. I want to see that my reading head is white. I am crying across the stream. " There are at least four allusions in the whole poem.
Huang Tingjian is a Taoist in the valley. He advocated taking learning as poetry, taking the old as the new and turning the vulgar into elegance. He has the theory of "turning stone into gold" and "taking fetus as bone". Yang Wanli called Huang Tingjian's poetry "Gu Style" in Cheng Zhai Shi Hua, and Yan Yu listed it as "Gu Style" in Cang Lang Shi Hua.
