What are the literary achievements of Zuo Si, a writer in Jin Dynasty?

Although Zuo Si was once famous for his Sandu Fu in Kyoto, it was his eight epic poems that established his position in literary history. Since Ban Gu, most epic poems have talked about the same thing. In the retelling of objective facts, we can see the author's intention. Zhong Rong said that Ban Gu's poems about epic poems were "wordless" (preface to Zhong Rong's poems). However, although Zuo Si's poems about history are not temporary works, they are mostly based on historical facts, and they are called poems about history. As Zhang Yugu's Appreciation of Ancient Poems in the Qing Dynasty said, "Taichong's poems about history are not only about historical events at first, so he praises himself with history." Or state one's intention first and prove it with historical facts, or state the historical facts first and judge by one's intention, or overlap with historical facts without stating one's intention, or silently express one's intention without stating historical facts, and "praise the ancients and see one's own temperament" (Shen Deqian's Ancient Poetry Source) are all very incisive, showing the basic characteristics of Zuo Si's epic expressing profound realistic content in ingenious artistic forms. Many historical figures are mentioned in Zuo Si's poems, such as Chen Ping, Sima Xiangru, Yang Xiong, Li Si,

Jing Ke and Gao Jianli, etc. Zuo Si wrote about their unfair experiences and expressed his indignation at his lack of talent. This is Zuo Si's writing feature of expressing his feelings through history.

Zuo Si was born in poverty, although he was a great talent, but in the Jin Dynasty, "there was no poverty in the top grade and no potential in the bottom grade" (The Book of Jin? Liu Yichuan) has repeatedly failed under the door-to-door system, and has to express his ambition and contempt for dignitaries in his poems, praising the hermit's lofty. For example, "although the noble is expensive, it is regarded as dust. "Humble, though inferior, is as heavy as a thousand fates" (the sixth part of "Ode to History"). The main purpose of his epic is to express his ambition to make contributions, lash out at the unreasonable gate valve system, and show extreme contempt and resistance to it. This theme runs through his epic and is reflected everywhere. For example, "Gao Shuai in the world." Because of the terrain, the origin is not once. ? It's not that Feng Gong is not great, but he can't see the famous things with his head turned white "(the second part of Yong Shi) and" Nothing in the world is strange, only in the grass "(the seventh part of Yong Shi).

Zhong Rong's Shi Pin lists Zuo Si's poems as top grade, saying that his poems "originated from Shang Dynasty. Literary classics take resentment as the main line, which is quite accurate and ironic. Although in Lujiye, it is deeper than Pan Yue. " It is true that Zuo Si's Ode to Histories quoted many historical facts, so it was called "Dian". Borrowing the ancient to satirize the present, he is more critical of real politics, so he calls it "resentment"; However, it is just right to borrow the ancient irony today, so it is called "essence"; Zuo Si's combination of his feelings and the reality at that time can play the role of allegory, so he said "get an allegory". "Shang" is Serina Liu, a Jian 'an poet. Liu Xie said: "I am angry on business, so my words are strong and my feelings are terrible." ("Wen Xin Diao Long? Style) Zuo Si and Liu Zhen are indeed quite similar in their style of "arrogance, boasting, ambition and Gao Huai". For example, "Turn left in Jiangxiang, and look right at Hu Qiang" ("Ode to History" Part I). He said that I glanced sideways to the left, and Wu Dong of Jiangxiang was settled; I squinted to the right, and I was calm, harmonious and indifferent. How easy it is for him to say these words, so lightly, this is a real "swagger." As a famous sentence of Zuo Si, "A thousand tons of clothes spread in Wan Li" truly reflects his ambition. "Shaking clothes" and "stamping feet" show a state of keeping innocence and not being polluted by the world; "Qian Shan's thousands of waters" and "Wan Li's streams" make this realm both lofty and broad. These two sentences are not realistic and profound, but they can give us an inspiring force. He expresses his inner will through an image with a sense of power, which has strong artistic tension and appeal and gives readers emotional impact and shock. This poem is really a cry of Zuo Si's heart and a true portrayal of his personality.
