A Review of the Literary Style of Ying Yang,a Poet of the Jian'an Period
Ying Yang,from the Ying family of Runan,was a distinguished literary figure during the Han and Wei periods.When discussing Jian'an literature,some critics have described his work as"generally mediocre,lacking distinctive fea-tures"and"unremarkable",failing to give it the recognition it deserves.In fact,his literary output possesses artistic quali-ty.His poetry,known for its landscape depictions and emotional expression,skillfully uses metaphors and similes,emphasi-zes eloquence,and pursues intricate concepts and elegant language.His essays,which include descriptions of objects,ex-pressions of resolve,and travel accounts,have broken free from the Han dynasty's conventional"object-focused"style,u-sing literature to express emotions and consciously pursuing a beauty of moderation.His literary output is characterized by emotional depth and a soft tone,with beautifully crafted,clear writing that truly belongs to the"Weixiang",epitomizing Cao Pi's description of"harmonious but not strong".His artistic personality was shaped by his excellent education,family tradi-tions,literary thought,and the"elegance-seeking-in-poetry-and-ode"style of the Jian'an period,reflecting his unified liter-ary ideology.
