What works of literary value did Han Yu create?

Han Yu, also known as Tuizhi, was an outstanding writer, thinker, and philosopher in the Tang Dynasty. He was an advocate of the ancient prose movement in the Tang Dynasty. He was honored as the head of the "Eight Great Masters of the Tang and Song Dynasties" by later generations, and was also known as Liu Zongyuan. "Han Liu", together with Ouyang Xiu and Su Shi, is collectively known as the "Four Masters of Eternal Writing", which shows that his reputation is very wide and his influence on later generations is profound.

Han Yu was born in a family of officials. His ancestors were all officials in the court or local officials. Han Yu's father, Han Zhongqing, was a secretary in the officialdom. He died young when Han Yu was three years old, leaving Han Yu alone and helpless. Yi was raised by his brother Han Hui. Han Yu has been sensible and diligent since he was a child. He does not need praise or encouragement from others. He can speak in written form at the age of seven and write elegant articles at the age of thirteen.

His brother Han Hui passed away before Han Yu came of age. Han Yu and his widowed sister-in-law, Zheng, left their hometown and became homeless in order to avoid the war in Xuancheng. At the age of nineteen, he settled in Chang'an, the capital. Han Yu's writing style was influenced by everyone and gradually became mainstream. Literati in the Tang Dynasty loved to admire ancient styles and imitated the writing styles of Yang Xiong, Dong Zhongshu and others. The articles of Lonely Ji and Liang Su, who were famous for their profound meaning, were highly praised by the world. Han Yu then interacted with Lonely Ji and Liang Su, studied their writing style carefully, and learned about the ideas in the article. He hoped that he could break through the influence of his article and stand out among this generation of literati.

In the "Old Guangdong Annals", Han Yu is called one of the "Eight Ancient Sages of Guangdong". He proposed "the unity of literature and Taoism", "the words should be spoken with great energy", "the things should be done", " The writing theory of prose such as "Wen Cong Zi Shun" has great guiding significance for future generations. His representative works include "Han Changli Collection" in forty volumes, "Waiji Collection" in ten volumes, "Shi Shuo" and so on. The achievements and influence of Han Yu's poetry are far less than those of his prose. He was the leader of the ancient prose movement in the Tang Dynasty and one of the eight major essayists of the Tang and Song Dynasties. His status in the history of prose is very high. His poetry, both in quantity and quality, cannot be compared with his prose. However, he is an important poet in the history of poetry in the Tang Dynasty because he established a style of poetry in the mid-Tang Dynasty.

Han Yu (768-824), also known as Tuizhi. A native of Heyang, Henan (now Meng County, Henan). The county looks to Changli, which is known as Han Changli in the world. In his later years, he served as the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, also known as the Ministry of Official Affairs of Han.

Han Yu's requirements for the article are to "make sure the words are spoken by oneself" and "state the affairs", and opposes imitated plagiarism. This is originally a good thing, but if it is taken to the extreme, it will inevitably lead to "censorship and criticism". "Weird and strange" problems. His prose is majestic and unbridled, and his imagination is very rich. These characteristics had a great influence on Han Yu's poetry theory and creation.

Han Yu's poems certainly have the "word order" required by his prose, such as one of the widely circulated "Two Poems by Zhang Shiba of the Ministry of Water in the Early Spring":

The light rain on Tianjie is as moist as butter, and the color of grass looks far away but not up close.

The best thing about spring is that it is better than the smoke and willows all over the imperial capital.

But this is not the main style of Korean poetry. His main styles are: first, he advocated rebuking injustice, that is, poetry should be critical and expressive, and should be able to express emotions. The second is to advocate novelty and novelty in artistic conception and language, forming a style that is bizarre and rigid. This style is in sharp contrast to the plain and simple style advocated by Yuan and Bai, but it is a relatively successful attempt to seek changes in the poetic style of the prosperous Tang Dynasty. Han Yu's poems such as "Nanshan", "Mountain Rocks" and "Visiting Hengyue Temple" are representatives of this style.

As an advocate of the vigorous ancient prose movement in the Tang Dynasty, Han Yu was motivated to get rid of the glitz and glitz of the writing style at that time, which only pursued the shortcomings of gorgeous rhetoric and neat and rhythmic dialogues. Han Yu has always advocated that literary creation should restore the expressive meaning of the Qin and Han Dynasties, which was to express content as the main purpose, which can be summarized as "Ming Dao". Under such an idea and principle, Han Yu created many works of great literary value.
