Classics are always new. The "elegance" handed down from the era of The Book of Songs is a positive action of advocating etiquette and observing civilization, which echoes the construction of "beautiful China" that we expect today. Beauty is not only the beauty of natural mountains and rivers, but also the beauty of national temperament that inherits Chinese excellent culture.
This creative spirit directly influenced the creation of later poets. This spirit was directly or indirectly inherited by the "karma" of the Han Yuefu, the generous voice of Jian 'an poets, the long narrative poems of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the poems of the people's livelihood in the Tang and Song Dynasties, the splendid articles of the Eight Masters, and the portrayal of reality in Yuan Qu and Ming and Qing novels. Later scholars often carry out literary innovation in the spirit of advocating elegance, guide creators to seek a healthy and upward outlook on life in expressing their feelings, and guide appreciators to cultivate good aesthetic habits and moral integrity, thus forming a fine tradition of combining realism with romanticism.
