Yang Shiqi (February 3, 1366-April 2, 1444), whose first name was Yu, with a singular word and a word of Qiao Zhong, was named Dongli.
Yang Shiqi was born in Fenghuangtai, Yichun County, Yuanzhou, Jiangxi Province, on December 23rd, the 25th year of Yuanzhizheng. His father died at the age of one, and his mother remarried Luo Xing, who was then a well-known expert in De 'an, so Yang Shiqi changed her surname. Later, when the Luo family offered sacrifices to their ancestors, the young Yang Shiqi made a clay statue to offer sacrifices to Yang's ancestors, which was discovered by Luo Xing and praised his ambition, thus restoring his ancestral name.
Subsequently, Luo Xing died for offending the powerful and powerful in guarding Shaanxi, and Yang Shiqi and his mother returned to De 'an. While teaching self-sufficiency, he supported his mother and traveled to Hubei and Hunan to teach apprentices, during which he lived in Jiangxia for the longest time.
According to scholars' speculation, Yang Shiqi may have participated in the rural examination in the seventeenth year of Hongwu (1384) in his life of being down and out, but unfortunately he came last. In any case, the harsh living environment during this period really created Yang Shiqi's excellent character of diligence, perseverance, tolerance and rigor.
artistic features of Yang Shiqi's works
The greatest artistic feature of Yang Shiqi's ode to the world poems is to truly show his life process as an important social role of a cabinet minister, which is the presentation of his true feelings. Yang Shiqi, as a scholar in the early Ming Dynasty, is different from the constant criticism of Taige's style of writing "whitewashing peace and praising virtues".
Writing poems praising the prosperous times is not entirely out of whitewashing, but a kind of understanding from the heart of a courtier with a deep sense of hardship after experiencing political storms. Even those poems that should be made to praise the saints, such as "Give a Visit to the West Garden and Serve the Students", will never make excessive publicity, but are full of sincere feelings and dare to criticize themselves seriously in public.
