On thirty poems: only ten notes. Shaoling, Tian Baozhong and Du Fu lived in Chang 'an for nearly ten years, and lived in Shaoling (the tomb of Emperor Xuan Di of Han Dynasty) near Ling Du, so they are called Shaoling. Short, the word yuan Zhen.
On Thirty Poems: Appreciation of Ten Poems This poem is Yuan Haowen's re-comment on Yuan Zhen's comment on Du Fu. In his epitaph to Du Fu, Yuan Zhen particularly emphasized that Du Fu's long poems "always laid out prose and parallel prose", and thought that Li Bai could not even reach his door wall in this respect. In fact, Du Fu has made great efforts in the art of poetic language. He said, "I am afraid I will never stop worrying about the beautiful words of human nature." . Du Fu's poetic style is rigorous and steady, especially the long poems in his later years are more detailed, and "the poetic style is getting thinner in the evening". This is an advantage, but on the other hand, it will also have side effects of being too elaborate. For example, at the end of the Song Dynasty, Jiangxi Poetry School also took Du Fu as the Sect, but focused on the formal skills of refining words and making sentences in Du Fu's poems, ignoring the most valuable things in Du Fu's poems, namely, rich and profound social content, progressive thoughts and profound realistic spirit of worrying about the country and the people, as well as the diversified styles and artistic achievements of Du Fu's poems. Therefore, Yuan Haowen's criticism of Yuan Zhen is of practical significance.
Du Fu's long poems in his later years are skillful, but not the best part. Yuan Haowen thinks that Du Fu's parallelism and ostentation is just a technique. Yuan Zhen praised this technique too much and regarded "luxury" as an insurmountable barrier, which was a mistake of regarding Ying as Lian Bicheng. This also reflects Yuan Haowen's opposition to overemphasizing the duality of temperament and paying attention to the social reality of poetry.
