Han Yu has made great achievements in revealing realistic contradictions and pursuing verve in his poetic style, but what really represents his poetic style is those magnificent poems with strange images, which may be related to Han Yu's own personality characteristics.
Han Yu is born with a strong and bold qualification, and his character is full of the pursuit of fresh, strange and magnificent things, scenery and emotions. Moreover, he advocated the theory of "nourishing qi" many times, which enabled him to improve his self-cultivation and at the same time add a spirit of daring, which is poetry, that is, his ambition is fierce and his voice vibrates.
Main influence
Han Yu is an advocate of the ancient prose movement, who advocates inheriting the prose tradition of the pre-Qin and Han dynasties and opposes the parallel prose that pays attention to the rhythm and ignores the content. Han Yu's articles are magnificent, well-organized and logical, and are known as the first of the "Eight Masters in Tang and Song Dynasties". At that time, people had the reputation of "Koreans". Du Mu juxtaposes Korean with Du Shi, which is called "Du Han Shi Bi". Su Shi called him "the decline of eight generations of literature." The ancient prose movement advocated by Liu Han opened up the development path of ancient prose since the Tang Dynasty.
Korean poetry strives for novelty, emphasizing momentum and originality. Taking prose as poetry, Han Yu introduced the new language, rules and techniques of ancient China into the poetry circle, which enhanced the expressive function of poetry, expanded the field of poetry, and corrected the mediocre poetic style since Dali (766-780). In terms of feudal ideology and morality, he is also unique, vigorously advocating Confucianism, advocating the inheritance of Confucian orthodoxy, and creating Neo-Confucianism in Song and Ming Dynasties.
