Since Sima Xiangru presented his"Ode to Greatness",which Emperor Wu of Han admired as having"the lofty spirit of Lingyun","Lingyun"has become a symbol in history representing both life experiences and literary talent.Examining Sima Xiangru's ability to compose poetry,coupled with Emperor Wu's fascination with the arts of Daoist scholars and Sima Xiangru's frustrations in his official career,the concept of"Lingyun spirit"or"Lingyun style"emerged in later generations to describe both life and literary talent,marking a transition from the reader's perspective to the author's.Returning to history,from an institutional perspective,the impression of Sima Xiangru's ode in the Han emperor was not only due to Emperor Wu's appreciation of poetry but also linked to the system of presenting odes at that time.From the emotional perspective of literati,the notions of"servile demeanor"and"unyielding spirit"implied the endless joys and sorrows of literati throughout the ages.Returning to the realm of poetry,the"Lingyun spirit"represented by Sima Xiangru's ode and the"exquisite elegance"represented by Xu Yin's ode showcase different aesthetic values in the creation of Han dynasty odes and Tang dynasty regulated poems,thus contributing to a fascinating chapter in literary history.
