Bai Juyi's literary achievements:
Bai Juyi was a great poet with great influence in the mid-Tang Dynasty. His poetic ideas and poetry creations were characterized by his outstanding emphasis on popularity and realism and his full efforts. Expression occupies an important position in the history of Chinese poetry. In the "Jiu Shu" of the Yuan Dynasty, it is clearly stated: "The servant's ambition is to be both helpful and helpful, and his behavior is to be uniquely good. If you follow it from beginning to end, it is the Tao, and if you talk about it and invent it, it is poetry. It is called an allegorical poem, and it is also the ambition of both helping others. "The so-called leisure poems have the meaning of being unique and good."
It can be seen that among the four categories of poems that Bai Juyi himself classified as allegory, leisure, sentimentality, and miscellaneous rhymes, the first two categories embody him. The principle of "doing it first and always doing it" is the most important thing. At the same time, he put forward his own literary proposition: "Articles are written according to the time, and songs and poems are composed according to the event." And his poetic opinions are mainly based on the creation of early allegorical poems.
