Appreciation of Thirty Poems (Ⅱ)

This poem embodies Yuan Haowen's admiration for Jian 'an poet Liu Kun, and Liu Kun's poems are vigorous and powerful. He first recommended Cao Zhi and Serina Liu, one of the seven sons of Jian 'an, as the "two outstanding poets" in the poem, and compared their poetic styles with the image of "sitting on a roaring tiger and generating wind". Cao and Liu are outstanding representatives of Jian 'an style. Zhong Rong commented that Cao Zhi's poems "originated from the national style, with lofty character, elegant words, elegant feelings and resentment, and stood out from the crowd", and Serina Liu "originated from ancient poems. It's amazing, dynamic and colorful, true bone first frost, and high wind customs. " The praise to Cao Liu is actually a praise to the fine tradition of Jian 'an literature, which is rich in content, generous and vigorous, and beautiful in style.

Liu Kun, a poet in the Western Jin Dynasty, is known as "elegant, vigorous and full of charm" (Literary Mind and Carving Dragons: Talented Tales), "strong words but fearful feelings" (Literary Mind and Carving Dragons: Style), and has the spirit of "clearing away" (poetry). Yuan Haowen introduced Liu Kun precisely because his generous and tragic artistic style is comparable to that of Jian 'an philosophers.
