Liu Yuxi is bold and stubborn, fresh and handsome in poetic style, resolute and unrestrained, and is called a poet by Bai Juyi. His famous representative works in this respect are "Sending Flowers to a Gentleman" and "Visiting Du Xuanguan again" written later.
Liu Yuxi is the core figure of Liu Liu political group, assisting Tang Shunzong and Li Yong to promote Yongzheng's innovation. Because the reform touched the interests of all parties, it was suppressed and persecuted. After the failure of the reform movement, he was demoted to a distant county and recalled ten years later.
Combined with the requirements of the topic, the characteristics of Liu Yuxi's poems are described in detail. His poems "Zhi Zhu Ci", "Yang Liuzhi Ci" and "Langtaosha Ci", which reflect people's life and customs, are fresh and lively, flowing freely and washing away the habits of literati. For example, the style of the famous "Wuyi Lane" is gradually implicit, ironic and expressionless.
Usually, fables are used to support things, such as "sending flowers to a gentleman" and "visiting Du Xuan again". His satirical poems are often punning and satirizing twists and turns, making them more poetic and meaningful. So the answer is: Liu Yuxi's poems study folk songs and reflect people's lives and customs. The theme is extensive, and the style draws lessons from the implicit, simple and beautiful characteristics of Bashu folk songs.
Materialist tendency
Liu Yuxi's philosophical thought has a distinct materialistic tendency. His main works are three essays about heaven. In the view of the world, his materialist thought is more progressive than Liu Zongyuan's. Regarding the relationship between nature and human beings, Liu Yuxi put forward the viewpoint of "mutual win and mutual use" between man and nature, which has a positive enterprising spirit.
He believes that the reason why people produce idealism is closely related to social reality. When "Buddhism is great", if the society is "for the public and not for the public", people will not have the concept of fate. At the time of "great relaxation of the law", right and wrong in society are reversed, and man can conquer nature, so the theory of destiny is promoted in the world.
