It advocates inheriting the prose tradition of the pre-Qin and Han dynasties, and opposes the parallel prose that pays attention to the melody and ignores the content. Han Yu's articles are magnificent, well-organized and logical, and are known as the first of the "Eight Masters in Tang and Song Dynasties". At that time, people had the reputation of "Koreans". Du Mu juxtaposes Korean with Du Shi, which is called "Du Han Shi Bi". Su Shi called him "the decline of eight generations of literature."
The ancient prose movement advocated by Liu Han opened up the development path of ancient prose since the Tang Dynasty. Korean poetry strives for novelty, emphasizing momentum and originality. Taking prose as poetry, Han Yu introduced the new language, rules and techniques of ancient China into the poetry circle, which enhanced the expressive function of poetry, expanded the field of poetry, and corrected the mediocre poetic style since Dali (766-780). In terms of feudal ideology and morality, he is also unique, vigorously advocating Confucianism, advocating the inheritance of Confucian orthodoxy, and creating Neo-Confucianism in Song and Ming Dynasties.
2. Yuan Zhen actively advocated new Yuefu poems.
Yuan Zhen has made great achievements in poetry, novels, essays and literary criticism, among which poetry is the most prominent. He and Bai Juyi launched a poetry movement-New Yuefu Poetry, which was initiated by Yuan Zhen, and Bai Juyi participated in the poetry school-Yuanhe Style (Yuan Zhen and Bai Juyi arranged a long article in Yuanhe period of Tang Xianzong, paying attention to the simplicity and popularization of poetry language), which not only "reached Yuan He Style", but also was new to scholars all over the world.
Yuan Zhen's Yuanhe poetry circle is an important turning point in the history of China's poetry development, and it is a transitional period in which the Tang tune gradually changed to the Song tune. As one of the important poets with irreplaceable significance in this new change, Yuan Zhen occupies an important position in the history of China's poetry.
