The chorus poems of Yuan and Bai in this issue are long, neatly arranged, and the rhymes complement each other. Fifty or sixty short sentences and hundreds long sentences are magnificent and magnificent. For example, Bai Juyi sent Yuan Zhen's "Hundred Rhymes of Southeastern Journey" and Yuan Zhen returned "Hundred Rhymes of Lotte Southeastern Journey". The creation of this kind of secondary rhyme poem is very difficult. We should not only strictly abide by the rhyme of the original poem, but also express ourselves and write hundreds of sentences. If you don't do well, you will lose sight of one thing and lose sight of another. However, those with great talent can take this opportunity to win the competition and show their talents. As Yuan Zhen said in Poems of "xianggong" in Upper Hu Ling: "If elegance can be a poem, it must love to write, and it is extremely poor in rhyme, or a poem of 1,000 words or 500 words, so that it can be sent to the other party. I can't pass the self-taught exam. Often play old rhymes and don't invent new words. It's called two rhymes, and it's hard to pick your ears. "In this way, on the one hand, the wisdom and skills of poets have been exercised, and the types of poems have been enriched; On the other hand, the poet's true feelings are diluted or even submerged because of his over-emphasis on formal skills.
The long and short verses of Yuan and Bai were widely circulated at that time, so that "Chang 'an teenagers were imitated and contended for new words, calling themselves' Yuan and Poetry'" (Preface to Bai Changqing's Collection of Yuan Zhen). The "Yuanhe Poetry" here is actually the "Yuanhe Style" mentioned by Yuan Zhen on other occasions. In addition to the long arrangement of the above rhymes, "Yuanhe Style" also includes "small chapters" of Yuan and Bai, including Yuan Zhen's colorful poems.
The so-called singing is that you reward me and I sing you and. According to ancient records, there were 79 chorus poems in Tongjiang period of Bai Yuan (March 30th, Yuanhe 10th year to March 10th, 14th year). Among them, there are 42 poems by Bai Juyi (excluding his remuneration and Yuan Zhen's poem "Five Words in Jiangling") and 37 poems by Yuan Jie. Among these choral poems, there are 24 groups of poems corresponding to chorus * * *, and 8 1 poem (including 2 1 poem and 55 poems), only 12 poem was presented by Baiyunyuan County, and 6 poems were presented by Yuanshi County for nothing.

As far as Yuan Zhen is concerned, Bai's poems consist of 3 1 head (including 27 rhymes), as well as "Wenle is gifted to Jiangzhou Sima", "Send happiness to the water" and. In addition to poems, they also exchanged three letters: in June, the tenth year of Yuan He's first arrival in Tongzhou, there was a poem telling a story, and a gobbledygook was sent (for this reason, it was sent back in Yuanshi County), Bai Juyi had a book with Yuan Jiu in December of the tenth year, and Wei Youshu in April 10 of the twelfth year (there was a poem and virtue in Yuanshi County).
