1. This outstanding achievement and feature of Jian 'an poetry formed the traditional style later called "Jian 'an Style", which originally referred to people's character and character, and was also a term in ancient literary theory. Starting from Jian 'an literature, some people say that only works that can reflect social reality and are generous and tragic can have "character". On the one hand, Jian 'an poetry inherits the tradition of Han Yuefu folk songs, on the other hand, it develops and transforms them.
2. As far as inheritance is concerned, the five-character poem form produced from Yuefu folk songs in Han Dynasty was widely used by Jian 'an poets and developed into the most basic poem form in Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties. The language style of Yuefu folk songs also has a great influence on literati poetry. Moreover, works that adopted Yuefu poems and followed the common themes in Yuefu folk songs accounted for a large proportion of literati poems in this period.
3. The unique atmosphere of the times during the Jian 'an period created a group of Jian 'an writers with ideals, pursuits and feelings. Their works reflect an attitude of facing real life directly, clinging to ideal pursuit and creation, and unrestrained creative passion, vividly expressing their "compassion for martyrs", being generous and tragic, desolate and vigorous, and showing "deep ambition and long pen". The characteristics of the times of "rough and full of gas" were praised as "Jian 'an style" by later generations.
4. Jian 'an Poetry was developed on the basis of Han Yuefu and Ancient Poetry. Although it also pays attention to diction and literary grace, it still maintains the true color of Yuefu folk songs, unlike some later literati poems that are too eager for rhetoric. In addition, Liu Xie also emphasized that the good combination of rhetoric modification and character is the best part of the article.
For example, Cao Zhi's poems are not only gorgeous, but also harmless to the character. Therefore, when people advocate Jian 'an character, they not only affirm its character, but also affirm the combination of its character and algae decoration.
Therefore, from the Southern Dynasties to the Tang Dynasty, people who advocated Jian 'an style, despite their different views, basically pointed to some shortcomings in the literary world at that time, such as too flowery rhetoric, too difficult words, weak style of writing, empty or complicated content, dark feelings and so on. , and asked the works to be lively, full of content, full of emotion, distinctive and vigorous style, which played a beneficial role in the history of literature.
