Xie Zhen
Xie Zhen (1495-1575) was a poet of the Ming Dynasty. The name is Mao Qin. He was named Simingshanren and also Linyishanren. A native of Linqing, Shandong. One of the "Latter Seven Sons". He started writing lyrics and music in the early days, and later composed poems. After entering Beijing, he met Li Panlong and Wang Shizhen, and they were the first to compose editorial poems. Later, he had different opinions on poetry with Li Panlong and was ostracized. However, the title of the poem was already written, so he traveled among the vassals for a long time as a commoner, and died on the way. Poetry advocates imitating the sounds of the Tang Dynasty, but taking a broad approach, thinking that Chu Sheng is "salty and can be used as a method", and advocates "reading it well to gain the spirit, singing it to gain the tone, and pondering it to praise the essence". It emphasizes true feelings, opposes blind imitation, and requires poets to have the courage to "people dare not tell, I will tell; people are unwilling to do, I will do it." His ideas are mainly reflected in his "Siming Shihua". His poems touch on the current situation and are full of metaphors. They often express his miserable feelings during his wanderings, such as "Sitting at Night and Feelings about Xu Wenshan". Poems such as "Four Songs on the Saishan", "Hujia Song" and "September Song" are very vivid and specific. If you are good at approaching the style, you can write better in the five laws. The sound of the sentence is steady and the style is stable, which shows his profound skill. There are 24 volumes of "Si Ming Ji".
