Poems by Taoist Baishi
He moved to Huzhou for more than ten years. Because he lived in a place called Baishidong at that time, the poet Jiang Kui was made a Taoist priest of Baishi. This number originated from a friend named Pan Dejiu who had a good relationship with him at that time. Baishi is naturally the residence of Jiang Kui, who is called a Taoist priest. Probably all his friends know that Jiang Kui is a natural and unrestrained person, who can live in this world and stay out of the world, just like a Taoist priest who is divorced from the secular world and only seeks his own peace. There are also two famous poets who are full of praise for Jiang Kui's talent and attitude towards life. They are Yang Wanli and Fan Chengda.
The name of the poet Jiang Kui is indeed a portrayal of his life mood. He was free and easy all his life. At that time, family and celebrities liked to communicate, negotiate and associate with him. It can be said that he is a Taoist priest on earth, and there are endless truths and masterpieces in life. Knowing music and calligraphy, Taoist Baishi is really different from ordinary people. As an outstanding poet in the Southern Song Dynasty, Jiang Kui wrote lyrics at his own pace. His lyrics can be free and easy, but also rigorous, mainly because their artistic conception is moving, and his works are labeled as ethereal and elegant.
What faction is Jiang Kui?
As we all know, Jiang Kui is a unique poet in the Southern Song Dynasty. His artistic style and creative techniques are unique, and he has a high position and achievements in the field of ci. His ci is often compared with the famous poet Li Qingzhao. So what school is Jiang Kui, and does Li Qingzhao belong to the graceful school?

Whether Jiang Kui belongs to the graceful school or not has been debated by scholars since ancient times, but no one firmly denies whether he belongs to the graceful school or not. Let's just say that he was influenced by the graceful school. He continued the graceful poet Zhou Bangyan's way in subject matter, continued to praise things and express his love, but it was not limited to this. Jiang Kui's greater contribution lies in transforming the artistic expression of traditional graceful words.
Therefore, more people agree that he started a school, that is, "Ya Ci School". There have always been two words to describe the characteristics of his works, one is "emptiness" and the other is "elegance". The former inherited Su Dongpo and the latter produced Xin Qiji, and the combination of them formed a novel and unique style of ci. This kind of emptying is not only different from uninhibited and straightforward, but also obviously different from graceful and restrained cotton media. In short, Jiang Kui is good at capturing and expressing emotions, because he is coquetry in scenery writing and does not emphasize physical description. He also absorbed the fierce spirit in Jiangxi's poetic style, which made his ci full of faint vitality. Besides, Jiang Kui can often connect different physiological feelings in an artistic way. Good at thinking from the side, writing from the side, and expressing the spirit in the imaginary place.
In this way, I believe everyone has their own answers about what faction Jiang Kui is.
Jiang kui's poems
Jiang Kui was a poet with a very personal style in the Southern Song Dynasty, but his poems were also the most outstanding in the Southern Song Dynasty except ci. Although the space is not much, the style is not lost to Fan and Lu. Jiang Kui imitated Huang Tingjian's poems in his early years and later turned to Lu Guimeng's poems. His words are exquisitely carved, but there are no deliberate traces, and his poetic style is exquisite and far-reaching. Among them, his masterpiece "Stone Lake Night Return to Tiaoxi" shows his poetic style.
Appreciation of the poem "Shihu Night Return to Tiaoxi"
Returning from Shihu to Tiaoxi at night is a seven-character quatrain for Jiang Kui, which consists of one poem and ten poems. Poetry is unpretentious and has a gorgeous rhythm. The author described what he saw on the way back from Shihu in an extremely plain and true way, and outlined a cold, clean and ethereal situation, where the soul seemed to drift away with the thin running water and quiet fragrance. The author used a lot of image nouns to paint the plum blossom vividly, and even painting is difficult to compare.
At that time, the author said goodbye to his old friend on New Year's Eve and went home by boat happily, full of joy, so the whole poem was also relaxed and happy. The first sentence paves the way by describing the intimate scene of going home, pointing out that New Year's Eve coincides with the season when spring comes and winter comes, and the snow disappears and the grass grows. In the second sentence, the author wrote that the boat he was riding was driving at a high speed, and in a short time, the majestic and tall Wu Palace gradually disappeared into the vast fog. In the third sentence, the author wrote about the scenery in front of him, the clippers, and having fun through the elegant and proud plum blossoms. The fourth sentence plays a connecting role, pointing out that Xiang Mei spent the whole night crossing the stone bridge. When this poem was written here, the author's inner pride was revealed.

Portrait of Jiang Kui
Jiang Kui was born in the Southern Song Dynasty. He was a famous writer, calligrapher and musician at that time. He has a very distinctive artistic style, which makes him a prestigious poet, and later generations respectfully call him the White Stone Taoist.
Forming one's own distinctive artistic characteristics is closely related to one's life experience. When Jiang Kui was young, he encouraged himself to enter the DPRK to display his talents and ambitions as an official and contribute his strength to the country. Unfortunately, it was God's will that made Jiang Kui gain fame many times, but each time he fell short. Sun Shan finally chose to wander the rivers and lakes in despair, and wrote his gloomy feelings in poetry among the green mountains and green waters. Perhaps because of creating works in a vast space, Jiang Kui's artistic features have a rather strong empty inspiration, which makes people put the Buddha in a quiet valley and feel relaxed and happy.
With such distinctive artistic features, Jiang Kui's works were naturally sought after and imitated by literati at that time. The true feelings between the lines of his works are also a key point to greatly add points. It is said that it is better to move people with emotion than with words. This unique artistic feature of Jiang Kui has made his legendary life.
