During the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, taste was regarded as a unique way to grasp the characteristics of poetry.

It is Zhong Rong who regards interest as a unique way to grasp the characteristics of poetry in Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties.

Poetry includes meaning, emotion, image and rhyme.

Meaning refers to the theme of poetry, which is the soul of poetry, but this soul is not closed, but open, and the meaning beyond taste is the extension and continuation of meaning.

Emotional flavor refers to the aestheticization of poetry emotion, which is no longer a natural emotion, but an emotion that has been accumulated, recalled, reflected and revived, so emotional flavor has the characteristics of deep, distant and implicit.

Image flavor refers to the characteristics of poetic image generation, or writing spirit in form, or creating images in meaning, or coexistence of reality and falsehood, or strange and positive changes, but all of them are more than this, pursuing images outside the image.

Charm refers to the disposition of the melody of poetry discourse. Its exterior is musical and its interior is spiritual. In other words, charm is the subtle language externalization of the rhythm and melody of the poet's spiritual experience.

It should be said that charm is the foundation and support of meaning, emotion and image. Without verve, meaning, emotion and image will all be lost because of attachment. Therefore, charm is the cohesion and materialization bond of poetry!

They all have comprehensive pregnancy function and overall radiation ability. The root of its cultivation lies in the poet's subject, his innate talent, personal knowledge and artistic experience, and his unique personality, temperament, self-restraint and demeanor.

Finally, it comes down to the trite but eternal essence of poetry: be a man first and then write poetry. People have a taste when they are alive, and so do poems. People with different tastes write poems with different tastes.
