A: The word "palace style" began with Emperor Liang Jian, referring to the poems written by Xiao Gang and the literati around him. The full name should be "Oriental Palace New Style Poetry", and the representative writers are Xiao Gang, Xu Ling and his son, Yu Xin and his son, Chen Houzhu, Jiang Zong and others. Its appearance is the result of replacing the old with the new, and it is the further development of Yongming style. As far as its content is concerned, palace poems mainly focus on court life, and the specific theme is nothing more than chanting things and describing women. Their aesthetic photos of women are the same as those of utensils, and most of them focus on women's life circle, including appearance, posture, clothing, utensils, and delicate depiction of love psychology. The artistic features of this kind of poems are that they pay attention to rhetoric, duality and melody, so they take emotion lightly and hurt the body, and their writing style is light. There are a few works in the palace poems that show the lewd life in the palace, such as Xiao Gang's Singing Wife's Sleeping, Taking Wife as Sleeping with LULU and so on. In addition, objects-chanting works occupy a considerable proportion in palace poems. The common feature of these poems is that they are poor in content, pure in chanting things without any sustenance, and only pay attention to rhetoric and duality. For example, Xiao Gang's Ode to the Cloud and Ode to the Rattan describe the shape and state of things delicately, which is trivial and lifeless.
However, as far as artistic form is concerned, palace poetry still has its contribution. The most outstanding point is that the palace poems have developed the artistic form of Wu Ge opera, continued the artistic exploration of Yongming style, and are more rhythmic. "Biography of Liang Shu Yu Jianwu" said: "When Qi Yongming was in middle school, the scribes Wang Rong, Xie Tiao and Shen Yue began to use four tones in their articles, thinking that they were new and even rhythmic, beautiful and magnificent, surpassing the past." Although it is a critical tone, it also shows that palace poems have further developed in meter than Shen Yue and others' Yongming style. For example, Xiao Gang's Song of Picking Spirits and Xu Gan's Poems of Ode to a Pen are basically in harmony, which accounts for a considerable proportion of palace-style poems. It can be seen that palace-style poems have played an important role in promoting the formation of later regular poems. As for the artistic exploration and accumulation of palace poetry language, the stability and exquisiteness of antithesis, and the use of official documents, they also provide artistic experience for Tang Dynasty poets to learn from.
