Yu Ji has a negative literary name. Song Lian said in Preface to Liu Ji: "Since the calendar, there have been only four people in China: Yong Bosheng, Man Shuo, Huang Qing and Gong (Liu Guan). The knower thinks it is a famous saying. " "Man Tang Shi Hua" says: "The Jin Yuan School in the early Yuan Dynasty was good at attacking it, and later it was called Yu, Yang, Fan and Xie". Another example is Poetry Talk, which says: "There are four schools of poetry: Yu, Yang, Fan and Xie. The old official of the Han family is the most important. "
Yu Ji said: "Hong Zhong (Yang Zai) is like a battle-hardened athlete, (Fan Yi) is like a post station in the Tang Dynasty, Manshuo (Xie Si) is like a beauty (three-day bride), and his poems are like old officials in the Han Dynasty. It is said that Jess was quite unhappy when she heard this comment, because Jess's poems are quite classical. The content of Yu Ji's poems shows a strong national consciousness. In his poem Prime Minister Wan Wen, he is full of mourning for Wen Tianxiang, a loyal minister in the Southern Song Dynasty, so that some people say, "It's a pity not to cry when reading this poem!" Words are also fluent. In addition, "look at my brother's virtue, father and discipline out of the state capital, Song died in seclusion and died as an official." I gathered in front of the tomb in Wumeng Province and visited the remains of the Han brothers in Qionglai from the outside. " I said, "Where is my home because my country is ruined? I live for my lips and teeth. I'm cold. "I don't know who to do it for. I can't feel my tears when I recite it, because it is enough to become a chapter and also reveal the same thoughts and feelings. Zhao's poem Xiao Jing said that "the remnant clouds and wild water have gone for 300 years", which also means mourning the death of Song Dynasty. Yu Jisheng died in the Song Dynasty at the age of two, but due to the tense ethnic relations in the Yuan Dynasty, he showed his national consciousness in his works.
Some of Yuji's poems also touch on the sufferings of people's livelihood, such as Chen Xishan's Second Rhyme and Journey and Qi Juxuan. In addition, he was quite dissatisfied with the national vendetta policy pursued by the rulers of the Yuan Dynasty. His poems are more works that give answers, which are entertaining and vague in content. Yu Ji grew up in a period of social peace and stability, and his poems are generally Qingyuan. One school is peaceful. For example, the poem Untitled expresses a hazy realm, while the Tower of Smelling Machine presents an elegant and light picture, while the occasional title, Listening to the Rain and Palace Ci in La Ri give people a serene and quiet impression. Yu Ji's poems are rigorous in style and mellow in rhythm.
word
Yu Ji wrote more than 10 thousand poems and articles in his life, and now there are only more than 20. Most of them describe people's carefree feelings, lacking the content of social life, and the description of the scenery is also bland and featureless. However, "the wind is loose" and "the tea in the painting hall is leaning on the Qing Dynasty" attract attention. Among them, there is the saying that "apricot blossoms and spring rain are in the south of the Yangtze River", which depicts the scenery of the south of the Yangtze River and is fascinating. The apricot blossom spring rain was originally renovated with Lu You's poems. It is said that his contemporaries, Lv Chen and Zhang Qiyue, appreciated this word very much. At that time, the machine workshop also woven it on Luo Tie as a work of art for people to enjoy. Yu Ji's essays are mostly entertainment words in officialdom, praising dignitaries as their agents and advocating Neo-Confucianism. At that time, most of the books of the ancestral temple and the inscriptions of the Duke and Hou doctors were written by him. But there are also some biographical articles that show the author's thoughts and temperament. For example, Biography of Chen wrote the story of Chen Shou, a scholar of the Song Dynasty, who died in Changzhou, praising his loyalty. Another example is Answer to Liu Shu, which praises Liu for not being an official, and praises Liu Chu for frost, ice, pine and cypress, sand and gravel, and gold alone. Here, the praise of the figures loyal to Zhao and Song Dynasties is similar to the national consciousness revealed in his poems.
Yu Ji also has some essays to express his political ideals and profound understanding of social human physics. Hai Qiao Shuo focuses on the truth that "chefs can nourish sages so that everyone in the world can be nourished", and that doctors can give Iraq a kind heart, and so on. Yu Ji's calligraphy was also very famous at that time, and was deeply loved by Jin people. Handed down from ancient times, there is a running script "Baiyun Master Tie" as his later works. Calligraphy twists and turns, if the words are continuous, the statutes are steep, and the rigidity is quaint. As Wang Shizhen said, "If you are careless with your pen, you will learn." It is recorded in Mo Hui Yuan's View of Dharma and Sanyutang's Catalogue of Paintings and Calligraphy.
