Ruan Ji's poems about cherishing the memory had a far-reaching influence on Tao Qian, Chen Ziang, Li Bai and other later literati. Tao Qian, namely Tao Yuanming, was deeply influenced by Ruan Ji in his poems. Tao Yuanming's works are famous for their fresh and indifferent, mellow and simple style.
This is in line with the deep, restrained and implicit artistic style conveyed by Ruan Ji's poems about nostalgia. Ruan Ji's poems had an important influence on Tao Yuanming's attitude towards life and poetry creation, which made him more determined to stick to his ideals and pursue freedom.
Chen Ziang was a famous writer in Tang Dynasty. His poems advocate retro, emphasizing that poetry should be content, emotional and insightful. Ruan Ji's Poem of Ode to the Huai inspired Chen Ziang's poetry creation with his profound sense of history and humanistic care. Chen Ziang's poems are full of reflections on life, society and history, which are similar to Ruan Ji's poems.
Li Bai is one of the greatest poets in the Tang Dynasty. His poems are bold, magnificent and elegant. However, we can also see the influence of Ruan Ji's Poems on Huai Shang on Li Bai's poems. Ruan Ji's poems are far-sighted, profound in thought and delicate in artistic expression, which are all reflected in Li Bai's works. Some of Li Bai's poems are similar to Ruan Ji's poems in theme and emotion, which shows the influence of Ruan Ji on Li Bai.
