Yang Jiong's Poetic Style 1 The style of palace poetry represented by official style in the early Tang Dynasty reached its peak in Tang Gaozong Xianqing (656-66 1) and Longshuo (66 1-663). The official style pays too much attention to the duality of temperament, and talks about the so-called "six pairs" and "eight pairs" while ignoring the essence of poetry. Although Yang Jiong was born in poverty, he was brilliant and generous, and despised the powerful because of his lack of talent. Therefore, there is a clear line between him and the Palace Poetry School headed by Shangguan Yi. What he sings is his own suffering and heartfelt wishes, and he expresses his true feelings, which is quite different from his interest in singing about the weather in Datang. In sharp contrast, he broke through the official style and opened up a new style of poetry. The four outstanding poets in the early Tang Dynasty, including Yang Jiong, took it as their responsibility to get rid of the ups and downs of the poetic world, and took a critical attitude towards the official style, leading them from the narrow palace world to the broad market, from the narrow pavilions to the mountains and rivers frontier, which opened up the content of poetry, endowed it with new life, improved its ideological significance and showed a fresh and vigorous poetic style. For example, "Zizhou Farewell to Zhou Sigong" shows the author looking southwest at night after seeing his friends off, worrying about the dangers of the Shu Road and when he will meet again, with sincere feelings; For example, Joining the Army, written in a state of eagerness for success, is a masterpiece of Yang Jiong's poetry. This poem is vigorous in brushwork and bold and straightforward in feelings; Yang Jiong also has a group of Three Gorges poems, which are more realistic and natural, express their feelings through history and have profound implications. It is also an excellent work that breaks away from the shackles of palace poetry. In Yang Jiong's farewell poems, there is no elegant, leisurely and self-sufficient erotic style, but he is always filled with his gloomy and lonely figure and passion for making progress. Most of them are simple and true, such as Zhao Zong Night View, with concise and simple language and appropriate allusions. Yang Jiong is one of the four outstanding poets who is good at five laws. His "Joining the Army" is a five-character poem, no matter from the aspects of levelness, duality and knot. Its existing 14 five-character poem completely conforms to the secret method, and it is an intentional pursuit, which dispels the wind of extravagance since Qi and Liang Dynasties and helps to finalize the five-character poem.
Celebrities said that Yang Jiong's literary talent was evaluated by Zhang, and his works were endless, superior to Lu, and did not reduce the king. But objectively speaking, Yang Jiong's poems are not as good as those of Wang, Lu and Luo. Judging from Fu Hewen, four people are almost as bad. Yang Jiong was born with honesty, frankness, arrogance and radicalism in politics and literature.
One of Yang Jiong's most famous poems is Join the Army. Although it is named after the tune of ancient Yuefu, it is actually five laws, describing the hardships of joining the army. By describing the process and mood of soldiers guarding the frontier and fighting in the battlefield, the whole poem expresses the sense of mission of the rise and fall of the country, the responsibility of every man and the desire to make contributions.
Everyone should be familiar with this poem, from which we can appreciate the feelings of the ancients.

Leaving the palace, the general will assume the command; Surrounding the enemy and attacking the city, the elite cavalry are extremely brave.
The heavy snow darkened the color; The wind roared and the drums rang.
I'd rather be a junior officer to fight for my country than a white-faced scholar who only engraved his chapter.
Yang Jiong's poems, like those of Lu, are anti-palace, advocating "backbone" and "verve". The poems of the four outstanding poets in the early Tang Dynasty have the characteristics of breaking through the "palace style" of Qi and Liang Dynasties in both content and artistic style, and have a certain position in the history of poetry development.
Yang Jiong left few poems, many of which were submerged in the long river of history. However, from the poems left behind, especially his frontier poems, we can't find that the poet's style is quite magnificent and has a certain charm, which may be closely related to his experience.
Yang Jiong was born in Huayin, a new work in Yuan Dynasty. In the sixth year of Xianqing, he was given a child prodigy and a school book lang. In the sixth year of Qing Dynasty, when Yang Jiong was only eleven years old, he had already shown extraordinary talents different from ordinary people, which was very rare. This has little to do with his love of reading since childhood.
In fact, careful observation will reveal that these people who have made extraordinary achievements in literature are basically fond of reading when they are young, especially the four outstanding figures in the early Tang Dynasty. Remember the accumulation of childhood in your heart, vent your feelings when you arrive, and occasionally get a good word from a skillful hand.
Yang Jiong's poetic style II.
In literature, Yang Jiong, Bo, Lu, etc. all opposed palace poems and advocated "backbone" and "charm".

life experience
Born in an honest and frank Yang Jiong, he was sarcastic and arrogant. He is radical in politics and literature. Therefore, he despised the hypocrisy of some courtiers and compared those unscrupulous bureaucrats to "Kirin's last". This means that such a person is like a donkey in a fake unicorn skin, and looks like a unicorn on the surface. If the skin is removed, it is still a donkey. Therefore, he was jealous of some courtiers. At the same time, he doesn't like the hypocrisy, fraud and conservatism of this world, and he is attacked by this world. When he took office in Yingchuan, his administration was strict. If his subordinates are at fault, he will torture them or beat them to death with a stick. In doing so, he may be venting his dissatisfaction with reality.
Yang Jiong is famous for his frontier poems. His works, such as Joining the Army, Leaving the Frontier, Battle of the South of the City, and Zi Mazi, show the fighting spirit of making contributions to the country with great momentum and bold style. Other poems that sing in harmony have no characteristics and have not completely escaped the colorful wind; There are 50 poems, including preface, table, monument, inscription, ambition and shape. Zhang Yue said, "Literary thoughts are inexhaustible, and they are superior to Lu without losing the king." . The Book of the Old Tang Dynasty praised the poem as "elegant in blue pen", while the General Catalogue of Sikuquanshu thought it was "rich and elegant, not just this one" and said that "its poems are magnificent because they run through ancient books and are not just related to glitz". The Preface to Wang Bo spoke highly of Wang Bo's creative practice of reforming the style of writing at that time, and reflected the requirements of the "Four Masters" to consciously reform the style of writing at that time.
As for China's so-called "Wang, Yang, Lu and Luo", Yang Jiong claimed to be "ashamed of the former Lu and ashamed of the queen", which was also agreed by the negotiators at that time. There are 33 poems today, most of which are five laws. Hu Yinglin in Ming Dynasty said, "Yingchuan is close to the body. Although the gods lost their monarch, they purged Hunxiong. Investigating its genre is actually the beginning "(Volume 4 of Poem Internal Compilation). Tong Pei's books in the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty include Ying Ji Chuan (10) and Appendix 1. Zhang Xie chongzhen recompiled 13 volumes. For the deeds, see Biography of Old Tang Dynasty.
