Second, the lament that life is too short. At that time, society was in turmoil and life was broken. Faced with a short and difficult life, Jian 'an poets adopted three different attitudes: the first one was a simple lament, such as "Life is like spring grass" in Xu Gan's Poem of Thinking about Room. The second is to lament that the years are short and the fame has not been established, but still strive to pursue it. Cao Cao's Short Songs is a typical example in this respect. The third category is to strive to break through the limitations of fate and pursue higher life value in one's lifetime, which is fully reflected in Cao Cao's poems such as "Although a turtle is a longevity". The latter two thoughts embody the positive outlook on life of Jian 'an poets, and have a great incentive effect on people with lofty ideals in later generations.
Third, strong personality performance. Jian 'an era is an era when literature began to be conscious, and it is also an era when poets' creative personality rose. Jian 'an poets think highly of themselves and are conceited by their literary talent and martial arts. When writing poems, they refused to follow their predecessors and did not imitate their peers. Instead, they tried to find another way to show their unique features, such as Cao Cao's poems, which were straightforward, sad and strong. Cao Pi is personable, personable and has morale; Cao Zhishi's poems are "extremely high in words, adopting Hua Mao's words, feeling elegant and resentful, and writing in style". In the use of poetic style, Jian 'an poets also have their own ingenuity. Cao Cao's four-character poems are unique for a while; Cao Pi's Ge Yanxing is known as the ancestor of seven words. Cao Zhi, RoyceWong, Serina Liu and Cai Yan are famous for their five-character poems. The distinctive personality color is a symbol of the unique charm of Jian 'an poetry.
Fourth, a strong tragic color. Because the world is cold, the wind is declining, and people's grievances are everywhere, Jian 'an's poems are full of tragic colors. In Liu Xie's "Wen Xin Diao Long Yue Fu", they said, "Or talk about a hearty banquet, or hurt their restraint, and they will never waver, and they will never leave their sorrow." Jian 'an poets are at the intersection of times and personal tragedies. They dare to face up to the suffering society and life, encourage themselves and others to cherish time as gold, make contributions as soon as possible and win immortal fame.
