What are the characteristics of Zhengshi's poetic style?

The main feature of Zheng's poetic style is advocating Laozi and Zhuangzi. The representative writers in Zhengshi era are Ruan Ji and Ji Kang. The works are more of the color of Laozi and Zhuangzi's thoughts. Due to the specific social and historical environment and the writer's constant exploration in the art of poetry, the literati's five-character poems completely got rid of the influence of the folk songs of Han Yuefu, enriched the expression techniques of the five-character poems and made important contributions to the development of the literati's five-character poems.

There are mainly two schools of writers. One school, represented by Yanhe and Wang Bi, mainly showed Taoist interest, divorced from reality, and even created the precedent of "metaphysical poetry" in the Jin Dynasty, known as Wang He; The other school, represented by Ji Kang and Ruan Ji, inherited Jian 'an's character and showed the edge of dissatisfaction with reality, and was called Ruan Ji by the world. Wang and He schools have always been out of touch with the literary tradition of Jian 'an, which opened the wind of metaphysics in the Jin Dynasty. However, Ji and Ruan inherited the heritage of Jian 'an literature and showed the characteristics of the times. Their poems are profound in content and mature in artistic skills, and their achievements greatly exceed those of their predecessors. Ruan Ji's "Eighty-two Poems of Love" is the best representative. The combination of these two factions constitutes the basic features of the orthodox school.
