The main contents of Zhu's poems are chanting mountains and rivers, singing with poets and expressing his philosophical thoughts and political opinions. In his works, the scenery of Bamin, Wuyishan River, the wonders of Yungu and the friendship between teachers and friends are all included in his poems. Among them, landscape poetry has the highest achievement. Zhu's landscape poems pay attention to "reasoning into poetry". When he describes embroidered water in the mountains, he often integrates philosophical thoughts into poems and reveals profound philosophy through the beautiful phenomena of nature. After reading, people can feel the beauty of nature and get some rational understanding and sublimation. Two books, reading comprehension, are well-known masterpieces. "Ask which canal is so clear? Live water for the source! " Let people get deeper thinking when they are wandering and the sky is shining.
Among Zhu He's teachers and friends, a school of poetry gradually formed because they often sang with each other. They are all Neo-Confucianism scholars, and most of them "put reason into poetry"-use poetry to explain their philosophical thoughts, so they are called "Neo-Confucianism Poetry School" by later generations. Among the Neo-Confucianism poets, Zhu's artistic achievements are the highest. Song said in the preface to seeing Luo Shouke through the river: "Taoist books know everything, and literature can do anything." Poetry, the rest; And there is another Zhu Wengong who swept away the anger of all the scholars. " He spoke highly of the artistic achievements of Zhu's poems.
Zhu is not only good at poetry, but also good at ci and fu. Today, there is a volume of Huian Ci, and there is a noun book engraved by Jiang Lingbi Pavilion. Famous Neo-Confucianists in Song Dynasty regarded "poetry" (word) as "Tao" and despised it. Zhu is an exception. His words are bold and heroic, beautiful and distant, and harmonious in sound and rhyme. Representative works include Cangzhou Song of Water Turning Around, Echoes of Water Turning Around, and Nine Days Zhou Qi Poems by Du Mu. Implicit inclusion is a tool to correct bent wood in ancient times, which is extended to re-create other literary works and make them become new words. This is a unique form of Song Ci, which is called "hidden style". Zhu rewrote Du Mu's poems in the Tang Dynasty into new words, expressing the author's thoughts and feelings that "life is like a letter, why bother complaining about the sunset", which can be described as pouring his own block with the ancient people's wine glasses.
Song of Cangzhou, with the title of water tune, was written in five years (1 194). At that time, Zhu's "Zhu Lin Jing She" in Jianyang Kao Ting was expanded and renamed as "Cangzhou Jing She" and "Cangzhou Sick Room". Prior to this, Zhu adopted measures such as social warehouse law, tax reduction, crossing the border and punishing corrupt officials. In order to curb land annexation and ease class contradictions, he worked as a magistrate in Changping Tea and Salt Hall, East Zhejiang Road. Because he violated the interests of some bureaucratic landlords, he was restrained and frustrated, which made him feel politically difficult to display his ambition of saving the country and the people. In this poem, Zhu further realized that "Heaven is dangerous" and there are too many wrongs and wrongs in his career by reflecting on the historical tragedies of Li Si, Lu Ji and others, so he said in the poem that he would "abandon the personnel forever and I will pay for Cangzhou". Cangzhou refers to Cangzhou Jingshe, later known as Kaoting Academy. This is his academic status and educational foundation. In fact, the author expressed his wish to devote the rest of his life to academic research and education in order to establish his own neo-Confucianism ideology.
Besides poetry, Zhu's prose is also very eye-catching. His travel notes, You Baizhang Mountain and Yun Ji Gu, are all famous works. In Qing Dynasty, Hong's Poem on Beijiang commented on Zhu's article: "The article in Southern Song Dynasty was written by Zhu; Poetry in the Southern Song Dynasty, everyone is in Luwuguan. " Compare Lu You's achievements in poetry creation and give high praise.
Zhu also made great achievements in literary theory and was a master of literary criticism of Neo-Confucianism in the Song Dynasty. His literary views are mainly scattered in Zhuzi schools and official documents of Zhu Wen. Its main viewpoints are as follows: First, it developed the literary view of "writing carries Tao" by Zhou Dunyi, a Neo-Confucianism scholar in the Northern Song Dynasty. He believes that "the text carries the road and the car carries the goods. Therefore, people who make cars must decorate them with axles. For writers, we must make good use of words and use them to be loved by the people. " The second is to advocate understanding nature and oppose carving. Therefore, he greatly appreciates Tao Yuanming's simple and unpretentious poetic style, and thinks that the beauty of Tao's poetry "has no arrangement in its detachment and complacency." He commented on his master's works like this, saying, "It's not for engraving, but for ease and effortlessness, but it has a aftertaste." It also embodies this view. In addition, Zhu's Biography of Poetry is a book with great influence and wide spread, and it is still cited by scholars to explain the Book of Songs. The definition of "Fu, Bi and Xing" put forward in the book is still in use today. In his book, he described twenty-four love poems in The Book of Songs as "promiscuity between men and women", which on the one hand showed the bias of feudal moralists; On the other hand, Zhu's comments, after all, restored some artistic truth of these works, compared with the misinterpretation of some love poems in the Book of Songs as "the virtue of empresses" in Biography.
