The creation of Yongming poet and the characteristics of "Yongming style" poetry: Yongming poet not only has theory, but also has a lot of poetry creation. "Biography of Lu Jue in Southern Qi Dynasty" said: "In the late Ming Dynasty, Chen Diao, Langya pushed Yi with qi, and your articles were good at rhyme. All the texts use palace merchants, and the four tones are rhymed, which cannot be increased or decreased. The world is called' Yongming Style'. " The representative writers of "Yongming Style" have always been considered as Shen Yue, Xie Tiao and Wang Rong. Shen Yue has the largest number of poems, and his theoretical exposition represents the idea of "eternal poetic style", but his actual creative achievements are not as good as Xie Tiao's. Xie Tiao inherited Cao Zhi's poetic style and was good at opening with epigrams. In the description of scenery and lyricism, he integrated the advantages of Xie Lingyun and Bao Zhao, thus avoiding the important and neglecting the important. There are more than 130 five-character poems written by Xie Tiao, among which new-style poems account for about one third. These poems have the rudiment of five-character poems, but they rhyme. The rhythm of sentences and texts is still uncertain. Although there is still some confusion in the rhythm of his poems, we can also see that they have gradually made some achievements. In addition to the above three people, Fan Li and others have also written many good poems, and their poetic style is close to that of Xie and Shen. He Xun, Wu Jun, Liu Yun and Liu Xiaozhuo, who became famous in Liang Dynasty, also got married respectively. He Xun's poetic style is also close to that of Xie Tiao, and Wu Yun is more quaint and distinctive. Xiao Yan, one of the Eight Friends of Jingling and later the founding emperor of Liang Dynasty, also wrote some beautiful and readable poems, but he did not agree with the theory of "four tones and eight diseases".
The position of "Yongming style" poetry in the history of literature: Before "Yongming style", ancient style poetry, also known as "ancient style poetry" and "ancient style", was popular in poetry circles. Each sentence has four, five, six, seven, and miscellaneous forms, and it does not seek opposition, and it is also relatively free to use words and rhymes. After the Tang Dynasty, metrical poems and quatrains were formed, which were called "Modern Poetry" and "Modern Poetry". This is in contrast to "ancient poetry", which has strict rules on the number of sentences, words, levels and rhymes. The embryonic form of this kind of "modern poetry" is "new poetry", that is, "Yongming poetry". The appearance of "Yongming style" marks the temporary end of ancient style poetry and indicates that "modern style poetry" is about to appear. Therefore, even if future generations criticize "Yongming style" poems in one way or another, they should affirm the position of "Yongming style" poems in the history of literature and give them due evaluation.
