Chen's Poetry Writing Style

Chen is a famous poet at the turn of the Northern and Southern Song Dynasties. His poetry creation can be divided into two periods: before and after the invasion of the Central Plains by Jin Bing. The early poetic style was lively, with few allusions, and the poem Mo Mei was appreciated by Huizong. After moving to the south, he experienced similar experiences with Du Fu during the An Shi Rebellion and switched to Du Fu. Different from Jiangxi poets, he only started with words, but integrated his own experience with the fate of the country, with a wide range of themes and a sense of sadness, and became one of the most successful poets in the Song Dynasty to study Du Fu. Although Chen's poems are similar to those of others, he pays attention to artistic conception and is good at sketching. Generally speaking, his poems are elegant and beautiful. The style of climbing Yueyang Tower is generous.
