On Thirty Poems·Twenty-Six Original Text:
The gold that enters the great furnace never gets tired of it, and the true plan is subject to fine dust. If there are loyal ministers in Sumen, will they be willing to write all kinds of new poems? Thirty Poems·Twenty-six Appreciation
This poem is a commentary on Su Shi and his later scholars. It can be compared with the twenty-second poem. Su Shi is a talented literary master who has achieved extremely high attainments in many aspects, and can be called the representative of the highest achievement of Song literature. Su Shi was a man of great erudition and talent. He treated artistic standards with a spirit of innovation and innovation. He made spring come true as he wished, and created a new generation of art in art. Although Su Shi's poems tend to be argumentative and prose, due to Su Shi's outstanding talent, most of his poems have vivid and novel metaphors, and a lot of wonderful metaphors; the use of allusions is safe and precise, natural; the contrasts are lively and unconventional. Su Shi's mastery of artistic techniques can be said to be as smooth as flowing water without leaving any trace of training. Therefore, Yuan Haowen spoke highly of Su Shi's poetry, praising his poetry as real gold that can withstand tempering and is not immune to dust.
Su Shi had a huge reputation in the literary world at that time, and there were many literati around him. The famous four scholars of the Su family are Huang Tingjian, Zhang Lei, Chao Buzhi and Qin Guan. None of these four people inherited Su Shi's ideas and art. Huang Tingjian is the founder of the Jiangxi Poetry School. Qin Guan is good at poetry, and his poems are as graceful as his lyrics. Zhang and Chao achieved little. As for other later scholars who have neither Su Shi's thoughts nor Su Shi's talents, they often pursue novelty in words, allusions, and rhetoric, so that they come up with all kinds of weird things. So in the last two sentences of this poem, Yuan Haowen was dissatisfied and criticized this trend.
