Chen Ziang's writing style?

Chen Ziang's poetry creation has made great achievements in the reform of Tang poetry. Lu Zang once said that he "controlled waves". The world suddenly changed "(preface to Chen Boyu's collected works). Liu song kezhuang's "Hou Cun Shi Hua" said: "In the early Tang Dynasty, Wang, Yang, Shen and Song were good at names, but they did not get rid of the wind of Qi Liang, only picked up the wind and advocated elegance and lightness. Sweeping the exquisiteness of six generations, it tends to Huang Chu and Jian' an. " Jin Yuanhao asked, "On Poetry" also said: "Shen Song traversed the field of calligraphy, and Qi and Liang Dynasties did not waste their first romance. On merits and demerits, if you are on an equal footing with Wu Ping, you will jointly cast gold castings. Everyone praised him as a pioneer in the innovation of Tang poetry. However, some of his poems still have some shortcomings, such as boring language and lifeless images.

Chen Ziang's poems, with their progressive and substantial ideological content and simple and vigorous language style, have exerted great influence on the whole Tang poetry. Later, Zhang Jiuling's poem "Feeling" and Li Bai's "Ancient Style" all took his poem "Feeling" as the study object. Du Fu spoke highly of him: "After the male gave birth to a horse, he became famous. ..... finally established loyalty, and "love" was left behind. " Many of Du Fu's poems about the national economy and people's livelihood are obviously influenced by him. Bai Juyi's "Nine Books with Yuan Dynasty" and Yuan Zhen's "Storing Poems for Happy Days" both talked about their efforts to write satirical poems, which were inspired by Chen Ziang's "feeling" poems. Bai Juyi also compared Chen Ziang and Du Fu, saying, "Du Fu and Chen Ziang are famous." ("Appendices awarded for the first time")

Chen Ziang's prose is also famous. He was the forerunner of the ancient prose movement in the Tang Dynasty. "The Biography of Chen Ziang in the New Tang Dynasty" said: "Tang Xing, the article inherited Yu Xu's legacy, the ancestor was still good, and Zi Ang began to become elegant and upright." Although his prose is mixed with some parallel prose, it is simple and generous on the whole, close to the ancient prose of the pre-Qin and Han dynasties, and changed the style of writing in the early Tang Dynasty. China ancient Tang writers often spoke highly of his prose. For example, George W. Shi Ying thinks that "Ziang's style of writing is the most correct recently" (quoted from Li Hua's "Preface to Xiaoshi English Collection"); Liang Su said that "prosperity is elegant" ("preface to Li Ji"); Han Yu said that "the country prospers articles (including poems), and children begin to dance high" (the poem "Recommended Scholars"); Liu Zongyuan also said that writing is not as good as writing, that is, both writing and poetry are equally important. The author is rare and beautiful, and he is a "person who chooses but doesn't care" (preface to Yang's Commentary Collection). However, his prose achievements are not as outstanding as his poems.
