The"wen xiu but zhi lei"in the Item Wang Can in Zhong Rong's Shipin refers to the characteristic of Wang Can's five-character poems,which means a beautiful and structurally careful wording and a slightly weak essence."Zhi lei"hereby refers to the tendency reflected in Wang Can's poetry to prioritize"wen"over"zhi"rather than his physical weakness,thus mirroring the declining of the five-character poems in essence and the flourishing in wording.This tendency is due to Wang Can's creative feature of using"fu"as poetry."Fu"here includes two types:one is a type of writing with Wang Can as representative;the other is the"fu"in the six meanings of the Book of Songs.Zhong Rong's evaluation of Wang Can's poetry as"wen xiu but zhi lei"aims to construct a classic lineage of the origin of five-character poetry and an aesthetic taste that emphasizes both"wen"and"zhi"by comparing Wang Can's"wen xiu but zhi lei"with Liu Zhen's"Qi overwhelms wen"and Cao Zhi's"ti bei wen zhi".
