The Artistic Features of Meng Jiao's Poetry

There are more than 500 poems by Meng, of which short stories and five ancient poems are the most, and there are no metrical poems. In art, I am not conformist, or I am good at drawing lines without allusions and words. My language is simple and clear, but I try to avoid mediocrity and simplicity. Or "hook the chapter and stab the sentence, pinch the stomach and kidney" ("Epitaph"), thinking about its difficulties and carving its risks; As Han Yu said, "backward scale and clever words" (Answer to Meng Jiao) swept away the weak poetic style since Dali. Some of these poems reflect the reality of the times and expose the evils of the buffer region, such as Complaining for Women, Feeling for Feelings, Killing People Out of the Border, Wounding Spring, etc. Some people care about people's lives and resent the inequality between the rich and the poor, such as "Weaving Maid Poems" and "Singing to People in Cold Regions". Some show the deep affection of flesh and blood, such as wandering, making love, apricot mourning and so on. Some of them describe landscapes, such as The Banquet between Ruzhou Nantan and Lv Zhongcheng, Youkou and Wang Waiya's Twenty-one Liuxi, Shilaishi, Hanxi, Seeing Your Majesty off to the Tiantai, Aixia and Visiting Zhong Nanshan. Although the contents of social life are different, they all have profound thoughts and novel language, which embodies the characteristics of Meng's poems. Some works, such as Autumn, are depressed. Poems such as "Going out is an obstacle, who is the width of the world" ("To Cui Chunliang") reflect the hardships of the world and show a narrow state of mind.
