Why does Zuo Si's poetry creation directly inherit Jian 'an's character?

Jian 'an style refers to the handsome and vigorous style of poems by Cao Shi and his son, Jian 'an Qizi and others in the Han and Wei Dynasties.

Three Cao (Cao Pi, Cao Zhi) and Seven Zi (Kong Rong, Chen Lin, RoyceWong, Xu Gan, Angelababy, Serina Liu), literary giants in the Jian 'an period at the end of Han Dynasty, inherited the realistic tradition of folk songs in Han Yuefu, generally adopted the five-character style, and became famous for their heroic style, forming a history of generous and sad masculinity. No matter "Cao Shi and his son" or "Jian 'an seven sons", they all lived in the land of Heluo for a long time, and this handsome and vigorous style is closely related to Heluo culture.

The word "character" was first widely used in the character comments of Wei, Jin and Southern Dynasties, and was later quoted in the theory of calligraphy and painting and literary criticism. Regarding literary criticism, Feng Gu, written by Liu Xie in the Southern Tang Dynasty, is the most accurate: "When you express your ambition, you must start from the wind; Thoughtful words, not before bones. So think of words as bones, such as the skeleton of the body; Love contains wind, and it is still shaped by gas. When the words are straight, the bones become awkward; When the spirit is cool, the style of writing is born. " It means that straight words combined with handsome spirit form a "character" with strong style and strong artistic appeal. Wind is the vitality and internal appeal of an article, while bone refers to the expressive force of an article.

Zuo Si Li Feng: This is Zhong Rong's evaluation of Zuo Si's poems in Shi Pin. Zuo Si's poems, especially his masterpiece "Ode to History", express his dissatisfaction and emotion with reality in the form of ode to history, with high emotions, vigorous brushwork and high momentum, which is the inheritance and development of Jian 'an style. This spirit of his poetry creation is what later generations call "Zuo Si Feng".
