But in the end, it is difficult, because they are not detailed, and the related works are often limited, especially the metaphysical poems that have been passed down to this day.
Metaphysical poetry is a kind of poetry whose main content is to explain the philosophy of Laozi, Zhuangzi and Buddhism. Metaphysical poetry is one of the schools of poetry in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, which began at the end of the Western Jin Dynasty and prevailed in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Representative writers include Sun Chuo, Xu Xun, Yu Liang and Huan Wen.
