Chen Ziang (about 659 -700, saying 66 1-702) was born in Shehong, Zizhou (now Suining, Sichuan), a poet and poet innovator in the early Tang Dynasty. In the first year of Zong Rui civilization (684), he was a scholar. Being appreciated by the marquis of Wu, he was awarded' Taiwan Province Zhengzi'. He has written many political essays, and the authorities have taken them up. Chen Ziang once put forward some reform proposals in the political field. In terms of literature, in view of the flashy poetic style in the early Tang Dynasty, he advocated restoring the style of Han and Wei dynasties and opposed the formalistic style of writing since Qi and Liang Dynasties. His own 38 poems, such as Youzhou Tower and Love, are simple and clear in style, desolate and strong, marking the change of poetic style in the early Tang Dynasty.
Poetry in the early Tang Dynasty followed the habits of the Six Dynasties and was elegant and exquisite in style. Chen Ziang stepped forward to try to reverse this trend. Chen Ziang's poems, with their progressive and substantial ideological content and simple and vigorous language style, have exerted great influence on the whole Tang poetry. After Chen Ziang's death, his friend Lu Zangyong compiled the 10 volume for him. The Collected Works of Chen Boyu was edited by later generations.
