A brief introduction to Lu You (1125 ~1210) is a poet of the Southern Song Dynasty. Word service concept,no. released. Yuezhou (now Shaoxing, Zhejiang) was born in Yinshan. Grandfather Lu Dian, an official, was the right post of Shangshu, and was falsely accused of being a Yuan Party, so he knew Bozhou. Father Liu Zai, the official court asked the doctor to go straight to the secret cabinet. Lu You was born in an official family, with a poor family and hard work. He was born and raised in the Song Dynasty, when he was corrupted and repeatedly invaded by the Jin State (Jurchen nationality). In the second year of Lu You's birth, Jin Bing captured Bianjing (now Kaifeng, Henan). He fled south with his father, Liu Zai, and went through hardships in Ten Days Without Cooking. In the evening, he heard about the nomads from Ma Si, fled to Shouchun (now Shouxian County, Anhui Province), and then fled to his hometown of Yin Shan. Lu You's childhood life experience and passionate anti-enemy atmosphere left an unforgettable impression on people, and he was deeply educated in patriotism. He later recalled: "At the beginning of Shaoxing, a young man became a child and saw the literati talking about state affairs at that time, gnashing their teeth or crying. Everyone wants to commit suicide and put on royal clothes. Although he is ugly, he regards it as contempt. " (Postscript to Fu) Lu You studied tirelessly since childhood, claiming that "he was born to learn English and his eyes were dying." In his youth, he studied from Jiangxi poets, but he was not bound by them, and he was nourished by the poems of Qu Yuan, Tao Yuanming, Li Bai, Du Fu and others. Although the feudal family gave Lu You a good cultural influence, especially patriotic education, it also brought him the misfortune of marriage. At the age of 20, he married down, and the couple were very loving, but his mother didn't like down and forced them to separate. After the divorce, Lu You was very sad. He once wrote the word "Chai Feng" in an accidental meeting after 10 years to show his affection. Since then, he has written many commemorative poems, and even wrote the famous love poem Shen Yuan in his later years. At the age of 29, Lu You went to Lin 'an (now Hangzhou), the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty, and ranked first. However, because he lived before the grandson of the capitulator Qin Gui, and because he did not forget the national humiliation, he was jealous by Qin Gui, so when he tried again, he was deleted from the list. After Qin Gui's death, Xiaozong acceded to the throne. At first, he was quite anti-gold. The hawk was taken seriously and Lu Youfang was put into use. He actively put forward many military strategies and political measures to resist the enemy and save the country to the court. However, due to Zhang Jun's Northern Expedition, the subordinate generals were at odds, the capitulators were restrained, and the Anti-Japanese War was finally frustrated. Song court immediately wavered and embarked on the old road of surrender and peace; Lu You was also accused of "testifying, clamoring for right and wrong, and urging Zhang Jun to fight", and was ousted and returned to his hometown. Lu You lived in his hometown Yinshan Jinghu Lake for 4 years and applied for jobs many times. Finally, he was sentenced to be a junior official in Kuizhou (now Fengjie, Sichuan) for five years (1 169), at the age of 45. Forced to make a living, he had to go to Sichuan to take office in the second year. Because of my humble position and seclusion in the mountain city, I felt that I had nothing to do, but after the expiration of my term of office, I had to write again and beg for "donating officials to save my life." In the eighth year of Dalu (1 172), Wang Yan, the main battle general of Fu Xuan, Sichuan, hired him as an official and extended him to assist in military affairs. This greatly changed Lu You's life. He put on his military uniform and galloped around Nanzheng (now Hanzhong), the front line of national defense at that time. Tiema's military life, autumn wind blowing gently and heroic flight made Lu You open his arms, and he wrote many passionate patriotic poems. "flying frost sweeps away the cold and presses the fingers, and one inch of heart only serves the country" can be regarded as a portrayal of his life and mood during this period. Especially when he saw that the terrain in Sichuan and Shaanxi was dangerous and the people were heroic, he felt that he could take Guanzhong as the basis in order to counterattack and recover lost ground. So he gave Wang an enterprising strategy and put forward some strategies for training troops and accumulating millet in the Central Plains. He is full of confidence in victory, and thinks that "Julian Waghann entered Qin in January, which spread to northern Henan". However, Lu You's heart of serving the country cannot be realized. The corrupt Song court only wanted peace, but had no intention of making progress, which led the soldiers to idle the front line, "serving the country and dying without a battlefield." Soon, the Song court recalled Wang Yan and immediately dismissed him, and Lu You was also appointed as the Senate of the appeasement department of Chengdu Prefecture. He had to hold the resentment of "not seeing Julian Waghann go through the customs" and "lamenting the sky and crying like rain", and watched the hope of recovering the Central Plains break out. Since then, Lu You has acted as an agent in Zhou Shu, History, Yeongju and other places, calling himself a "monk in the forest", and his ambition to resist Japan and save the country has never ceased. In the second year (1 175), Lu you was invited to be a senator from central Sichuan, Fan Chengda Town. Lu He is known for his friendship of poetry and prose, so he doesn't stick to official etiquette, which has caused ridicule from his colleagues. Because Lu You's ambition to save the country and his personal career have not been continued for a long time, he often takes pride in "taking off his towel and drinking, leaning on a pole to see the mountain", and even seeks spiritual recovery and anesthesia in the fragrant fog of the pipa waist-inspiring shirt, which is accused by his colleagues of "being informal and relying on wine to relieve his worries". Therefore, Lu You simply called himself "Weng Fang" and quipped in his poem: "The name is outside the yellow paper, and time is paid in the green bottle. Who is peeling in front of the door, congratulations on my release of Weng this year. " Since then, "Weng Fang" has been living with his poem title. Lu You has been in Sichuan and Shaanxi for 9 years, and the mountains, rivers, customs and customs of the motherland have enriched his life experience. Especially in the front line of Nanzheng, he came into contact with many border guards and "adherents" who "endured death and hoped to recover", which opened his spiritual realm and poured a lot of patriotic passion full of life into his poems. This is the most fruitful period of his creation. Lu You cherishes this creative stage very much, thinking that "the poet is ignorant and suddenly sees the past", so he named all his poems "Jian Nan Poetry Draft". In the fifth spring of Xichun (1 178), Lu You's poems became more and more famous and were summoned by Xiaozong, but they were not really reused. Xiaozong only sent him to Fuzhou and Jiangxi for two official missions to promote Changping tea and salt. When he was working in Jiangxi, there was a flood there. He "camped on the grass" and personally visited the disaster area, "playing Yicang for disaster relief and sending millet to the people of all counties". Unexpectedly, he overstepped his authority and went home on charges of overstepping his authority. Lu You lived at home for 6 years and was known as Yanzhou (now Jiande, Zhejiang) at the age of 62. He was ordered to go to Beijing and wrote the famous Seven Laws "The Beginning of the Spring Rain in Anzhong", in which "the small building listens to the spring rain all night, and the deep alley sells the apricot flowers", which won the appreciation of Xiao Zong, but Xiao Zong did not understand Lu You's true ambition and only told him that when he arrived in Yanzhou, "you can recite poems at your leisure". Although his new job doesn't meet Lu You's ambition, he is still diligent, as the poem says: "Worrying about the people and worrying about himself is a shame." When he was in office, he made every effort to "relax the meeting, pursue triviality frugally, stop laughing and save Yan You", so he won the love of the local people and built a monument for him and a shrine for Yanzhou Taigong Lu Yi to commemorate their grandparents and grandchildren. During his tenure in Yanzhou, the former site of Shenyuan Garden in Shaoxing, Zhejiang Province, Lu You made a strict selection of poems written over the years, especially in his early years, and got more than 2,500 poems, which were published as 20 volumes of "Jian Nan Poetry Draft". After the book was published, it won the praise of the literary world at that time. In the fifteenth year of Xichun (1 188), Lu You left Yanzhou and returned to his hometown. Soon, he was called to Lin 'an as a military attache. The following year, Guangzong ascended the throne and was appointed as a doctor of the DPRK. So he even attached a letter to advise the court that "those who seek great things should not be lazy at night" and put forward political ideas such as "saving the poor of the people before paying light taxes" At this time, the Song court had indulged in local pleasures and had no intention of making progress. Therefore, Lu You's suggestion was not only not adopted, but was impeached by the followers of □ Jie and dismissed from office again on the charge of "mocking an affair". Lu You was very angry about this and simply named the former residence of Yinshan Jinghu Lake "Fengyuexuan" to show sarcasm. After that, Lu You lived in seclusion in the countryside for a long time, accounting for 12 years, and spent his old age in a quiet but poor life. He named the library "Old Learning Temple" and took pleasure in sitting in the book city. As the poem said, "The ancient and modern volumes will never be seen, and a window will faint and send the fleeting time." In addition, he personally participated in some agricultural labor: "helping declining industries to plant mulberry", "raising cattle at midnight" and even had to order clothes to cope with "official rent collection". Because he is "among the old peasants", he understands the sufferings of the lower classes and feels that "advice is hard to hear", so he should pour out his patriotic enthusiasm with them: "I have a lingering fear, think of my poor friends." Farmers also think that Lu You is respectable and amiable, and whenever they see him coming, they take out wine and vegetables to entertain him. In order to thank Lu You for treating diseases and applying drugs, they are even more "happy in villages and lanes", and most of them have children in the name of "Lu" to repay the kindness of "living me". When living in Luyou Township, Ningzong ascended the throne on behalf of Guangzong in the fifth year of Shaoxi (1 194), and changed his name to Qingyuan the following year. Mrs. Han Zhou is in power. He denounced Neo-Confucianism as pseudoscience and exiled Zhao Ruyu, the imperial clan minister, and Zhu, a Neo-Confucianism scholar, which was called "Qingyuan Party Class" in history. During this period, Lu You wrote "South Garden Story" for Han Zhou at his request, hoping that he would "work hard for the king". In the second year of Jiaqing (1202), Lu You was called to write in North Korea because the reign of Xiaozong and Guangzong had not been completed, and he resigned and returned to his hometown the following year. In the second year of Qing Xi (1206), he declared war on Jin, but because of his strong greed, his career started hastily and soon ended in failure. Han was also killed, and the first sum arrived. Because Lu You and Han had the above relationship, they were criticized at that time and later, thinking that the "evening festival" was endless. In fact, Lu You's retreat and comeback when he was in power in North Korea were mainly driven by his long-cherished wish to resist the enemy and return to China, and he did not intend to follow suit. Lu You resigned in Jiatai for three years and returned to his hometown. He is almost 80 years old. Since then, there have been many poems and essays, but his health has been weakening year by year. Finally, after two years in Jiading (1209)1February 29th, the 85-year-old poet passed away with regret that he could not recover his old country. Lu You is a poet with rich creation, and his collection of poems is more than 9,300. His poems can be roughly divided into three periods: the first period is from youth to middle age (46 years old) before entering Shu. This period is the longest (about 30 years), but there are at least about 200 poems in the collection, which is the result of deleting all those works that were "but eager to paint" in his early years. According to his postscript poems, he had "deleted nine out of ten poems" before he was 42 years old, and it is estimated that more than 10 thousand poems were deleted. It can also be seen that his early poems are mainly in the form of words, and have not been enriched by life. The second period was after he entered Shu, he abdicated at the age of 54 and returned to the East. After nearly 20 years, more than 2,400 poems have been preserved. During this period, he joined the army in Nanzheng, went deep into the front line of national defense, and lived a heroic life full of fighting breath. The majestic mountain and river situation not only deepened his experience of reality, but also inspired his patriotic thoughts and feelings, and also changed his poetic style, just as he said in his poem, "The land will win, and the rhythm is strong." The maturity and richness of poetry creation in this period established his lofty position as a generation of literati. The third period was a long-term seclusion in his hometown of Yin Shan until his death, also for 20 years, with nearly 6,500 existing poems. I wrote the most poems in this period because I deleted them in my later years. During this period, his life was relatively calm and he had more contact with farmers. Coupled with the ups and downs of official career, I am preoccupied and getting older. Therefore, his poems show an idyllic flavor, revealing desolate life feelings from time to time. "Poetry works when no one loves it" can be regarded as expressing his state of mind and artistic realm at this time. In addition, the poems of this period also showed a simple and solid tendency, such as many poems reflecting the sufferings of rural areas. The above three stages are only sketchy and cannot be completely separated. In fact, there are excellent works in each period. Even in the early days, he showed the poet's artistic skills in language rhythm and so on, thus preparing the foundation for higher achievements later. More importantly, Lu You's poems are permeated with a feature that never declines, that is, ardent patriotism. This feature was especially obvious after he entered Shu in middle age, which was not only prominent among contemporary poets, but also rare in the history of China literature. No wonder Liang Qichao called it "a man who has never lived". Because the poem written by Lu You is "Nine times out of ten is fifty-six", it has been repeatedly attacked and rejected by capitulationists. But he was "so humble that he forgot his own country", and resisting the enemy has always been the ideological theme that can arouse his creative passion. In his early poems, it was written like this: "Anyone who dies in battle is ashamed to return to his wife" ("Reading the Afternoon"); At the age of 82, he is still "sighing when he hears the drums, and he can still admire Zhao Wei" ("Old Horse Trip"). It is this patriotic enthusiasm that never fails that makes Lu You sing the loudest song of that era. Many of his passionate and heroic poems shocked Huang Zhong, Lu Da and others.

Ink marks in Lu You's poems

Lu You's "One Heart Dan" has never been given the opportunity to serve the country, and he can't help but feel depressed and indignant, which is also reflected in his poems with passionate basic tone. Just as he sang in the famous poem "Book Wrath": "When I was young, I knew that the world was difficult, and the Central Plains looked to the North Yue. It's a night snow in Guazhou, and the iron horse is scattered in the autumn wind. Stuck on the Great Wall and make an empty promise, the sideburns in the mirror have long faded. When you start your career, you can show your real name. Who can compare with you in a thousand years? " Another example is: "White hair is rustling in the middle of the river, and I am loyal to the world. ..... I'm not old enough to be a ghost when I die. " There are other trips, such as sending Brother Qi to Yangzhou as a handsome curtain, Hu being a nobody, getting sick in the book, exorcising demons, staying in the water village overnight, going out to meet the cold in the autumn night, the storm on November 4, vertical pen, leading water and so on. What is particularly touching is that Lu You did not forget to recover his country on the eve of his death. He wrote in the famous poem Xiuzi: "I didn't know everything was empty until I died, but I looked at Kyushu sadly." Julian Waghann set the Central Plains Day in the north, and the family did not forget to tell Nai Weng about it. "These kinds of poems are masterpieces that can best reflect the creative spirit of Lu You. Lu You not only expressed his love for the motherland in his poems, but also angrily condemned the corrupt, incompetent and peaceful ruling authorities: "Men still cling to pro-government, and people with lofty ideals give their youth in vain" (Feeling Angry); " Officials arranged Zong Ze with the Party, but no one used Yue Fei (Reading Fan Zhineng at Night). Besides, in his poems, such as Memories, City Guests, Northern Rock and Guan Shanyue, Lu You denounced the bureaucrats who were not sympathetic to the national tragedy but only knew luxury and enjoyment. Faced with the corruption phenomenon of "Zhumen singing and dancing, the horse in the stable is fat and the bow is broken", he cried bitterly: "What's the point? I can't stand wine?" In his poems, Lu You also showed deep concern for the people under national oppression and class oppression. In his poems "I can't sleep on the 25th of March", "Autumn Harvest Song", "Autumn Tournament" and "Peasant Sigh", he described the current reality as follows: "The rich serve thousands of slaves, while the poor, old and young, have no money", "All the year round, the front of the county family is wet with blood" and "I enter the county court day and night. Because Lu You has a deep feeling for the people's sufferings and an unusual sympathy for the people who are forced to resist, such a brilliant idea appears in the poems such as Two Emperors and Short Writings: "Officials or no good governance, thieves start from the people"; The thief is my man, if it wasn't Hu Qiang at first. Why do you want to fight when you are angry? "This view of' thief' has broken through the view of ordinary scribes, which is valuable under the historical conditions at that time. In a word, worrying about the country, loving the people and fighting to the death are the biggest characteristics of Lu's poems, which is also the reason why his poems can be told through the ages. In addition, Lu You also wrote many poems with unique styles. These poems either express life feelings or describe mountains and rivers, showing a natural, smooth, fresh and elegant style; There are also some works that combine poetry and philosophy artistically. Such as "Spring Dawn": "Flowers are cherished by future generations after the storm, and scholars are respected by people in the rivers and lakes"; Another example is "Traveling to Shanxi Village": "There is no doubt in the mountains and rivers, and there is another village in the dark"; Rain at Jianmen Road: "Is this a poet? Riding a donkey into the sword gate in the drizzle "and so on. Lu You's poems can be said to have both styles, no matter they are classical, metrical and quatrains, they all have excellent works, among which seven verses are well written. In this respect, Lu You inherited the experience of his predecessors and enriched his own creation at the same time, so some people say that he and Du Fu and Li Shangyin have completed the "three changes" in the creation of the seven laws (Shu Wei's Poems in a Bottle of Water); Also known as his Seven Laws, it was "incomparable at that time" (Shen Deqian's Shi Shuo Yu). It is true that in the Seven Laws of Lu You, famous articles and chapters are stacked one after another, and everyone recites them. For example, "Jiang Sheng's hero is full of hatred and Yi Tian is selfless" ("Huangzhou"); " Lao Tzu is still in the desert, why should he cry for a new pavilion "(Night Park Water Village); Wan Li Guanhe lonely pillow dream, even the wind and rain four mountains and autumn "("pillow work "); On the nine roads, there are surging waves, and thousands of ships cross the river "(Du Fu Bridge to Nantai); The moonlight is half a window, and the autumn trees are in the middle "("On the Pillow "); Birds fly low outside the bridge, passers-by enjoy the cool "(Hengmen independence) and so on. These famous sayings, either magnificent or picturesque, are both steady and vivid. Besides the seven methods, Lu You's achievements in poetry creation should be the rejection of poetry, which was once called "catching up with Tang Yin" by his predecessors. In addition to the above-mentioned poems such as Shizi and Jianmen Road Encountered with Light Rain, other poems such as Autumn Night at Fenmen Dawn, Wan Li Three Rivers Entering the Sea, Chucheng, Apes and Birds Sorrow in the Empty City on the River, Light Rain and Cold Boat Sleeping to Dusk, and Flying Flies on the Boat Being Washed away by a Rain are worthy of the colors of the Tang Dynasty. Although Lu You's poems present a colorful style, from the general creative tendency, they are mainly realistic, as he himself said: "Tao is empty, and literary works are real." "He inherited the fine tradition of Qu Yuan and other previous generations of poets who were concerned about the country and the people, and made outstanding contributions based on his own era. Therefore, some people compare him with Du Fu and call him "the history of poetry" (the complete works of Mr. Houcun). But from time to time, Lu You galloped his rich artistic imagination in his poems. For example, in the poem "On the evening of May 11th, at midnight, the dream came from my hands, and I went back to my hometown of Han and Tang Dynasties ...", he vividly described the joyful scene of resisting victory and seeking profits: "The first six armies were driven away, and the autumn wind drummed all over the sky. Stop the obstacle before the alfalfa peak and the fire will be on the river. Liangzhou's daughter is full of tall buildings, and her hair was studied in Kyoto. Poems such as Drunk Song, March, and Song of the Gods also have charm beyond the clouds. No wonder he is also called "Little Taibai". However, Lu You's poems still have a strong realistic color; Or it is a kind of backlash that the realistic ideal is not satisfied. In a word, Lu You's poems have made great achievements in thought and art, as the predecessors said: "There is no intention to seek without losing delicacy, no words without novelty without pollution, which ancient poets did not have." (Zhao Yi's "Ou Bei Shi Hua") Lu Ji also has some shortcomings. Although "empty, clear as words", sometimes it is inevitable that the momentum is greater than the connotation. Another obvious disadvantage is that the meaning and syntax of words are repetitive, especially in later years. This is because he has created a lot, so he is "as busy as a bee, as busy as a bee". In addition, because Lu You was a poet living in feudal times after all, he inevitably had many ideological limitations, especially when he was hit by the dark forces, he was more likely to feel empty and pessimistic, and sometimes even in those impassioned poems. For example, "If you look at the end of Chibi, why is it like Zhongmou" ("Huangzhou"); "A hundred years' journey is better than staying drunk and sleeping for a long time" ("Sleeping in the Library") and so on. However, compared with his whole creation, these negative factors in Lu's poems are still minor flaws, which does not affect his position as a great man in the literary world of the Song Dynasty. Lu You's ci creation is not only to write poems, but also to write ci. Because he didn't pay much attention to this poetic style, he didn't write many words. The existing words are 130. His words are also diverse in style and have their own characteristics. There are many beautiful and lingering words, close to the "graceful school" in the Song Dynasty, such as the famous "Hairpin Phoenix". In this poem, he poured out a tortuous and deep love affair with his ex-wife Tang, which was difficult to be separated by feudal forces: "Red crisp hands, yellow wine, spring willows all over the city. The east wind is evil, and the feelings are thin. A sad mood, a cable that I haven't seen for years. No, no, no! Other works, such as Partridge Sky, Two Jade People on a Boat in Nanpu, Fairy on the Riverside, Turtledove's Rain casts its shadows over the building, butterfly lovers, Xiao Sheng's Stranger Cold and Food Closer, Shui Long Yin and Flowers at the Bottom of a Bottle in Search of Spring, are also works with deep feelings. However, after all, Lu You was different from Qin Guan, a graceful poet who was admired by him at that time. His poems are not just about cutting red flowers and carving green flowers, but often expressing his deep affection for life, or pinning his superb mind, such as [Nanxiangzi]: "When you enter Huangzhou at an early age, meet a glass of wine to win the flow. This is a dream for 30 years. Very sad. The guest road is rustling in autumn. "Another example is [operator]:" If you have no intention of striving for spring, everyone will be jealous. Scattered into mud, ground into dust, only fragrance remains. Others, such as The Fisherman's Pride, Looking at the Shadow of Dongshan Mountain, Staring on the temples, Surprising my ambition, this body is like sending it, etc. , or desolate far-reaching, or profound meaning, these words are closer to Su Shi. However, what best reflects Lu You's life experience and personality characteristics is his impassioned and patriotic words, such as [Han Gongchun]: "Carve a bow with an arrow, remember the ancient base of an eagle, and cut the tiger to calm the river. "Blowing dusk to the wild tent, the snow presses the green felt. Dripping drunk ink, watching dragons and snakes fly down beautifully. If people are wrong, their poems will be short and detached for a while. " Another example is [Xie Chichun]: "I joined the army when I was strong, and I used to swallow the remnants. Clouds are high and light, and wolves fly at night. Zhu Yan's temple is green, and he is guarded by Ge Xi. There are many mistakes in laughing at the Confucian crown. " Others, such as Confessions, Looking for a Time, Confessions, Confessions, Confessions, Confessions, Confessions, Confessions1are all close to Xin Qiji. No wonder predecessors once called Lu You's ci "delicate as Huaihai, heroic as Dong Bo" (Yang Shen's Ci Pin); Some people say that "super cool place is more like Jiaxuan" (Jin Mao's Sixty Poems of Song Dynasty Postscript), and this comment is reasonable. Although he and Xin Qiji were slightly inferior to the achievements of Xin Ci on the whole, they did sweep away the beauty of Ci style at that time. Lu You also wrote many essays, which are quite accomplished. Among them, memorizing inscriptions, prefaces and postscripts, or narrating life experiences, or expressing thoughts and feelings, or commenting on poems, can best reflect the achievements of Lu You's prose, and at the same time, as in poems, it also shows patriotic feelings from time to time, such as The Collection of Zhen Tang in Beijing, The Collection of Hugh, Shu Weiqiao's Family, and The Preface to Fugushi's Westernization. Others, such as "Preface to the Poems of Laizhai Jushi", show Lu You's excellent literary view: "To cover people's feelings, sadness and anger are contained in the middle without saying anything, which is a poem, otherwise there is no poem. "Su Wu, Li Ling, Tao Qian, Xie Lingyun, Du Fu and Li Bai are all too excited to help themselves, so their poems EMI." This view that creation focuses on internal cultivation rather than external form can be regarded as the further development of his so-called "time is outside poetry" Lu You also has some unique essays, such as Smoke Boat, Book Nest and Living Room. Elegant and meaningful, quite like a sentimental essay. The six-volume book A Passage to Shu is concise and vivid. It is not only a fascinating travel note, but also a golden rule for investigating historical sites and geographical evolution. As for his Notes on Old Xuegong, it is an essay. Although the pen and ink are simple and rich in content, the notes are mostly anecdotes and have great historical value. Among them, the theory of poetry (such as "seeking the source of Du Fu in Ming Dynasty" when criticizing) is also outstanding. In a word, Lu You is a rich and talented writer. Especially in poetry creation, the achievements are particularly outstanding. It is generally believed that he is taller than Mao, Fan Chengda and Yang Wanli, while Zhao Yi and others of the dynasty think that he is better than Su Shi. He said: "Su and Lu are two outstanding figures in the Song Dynasty, and later generations were shocked by the name of Dongpo. They often say that Su is better than Lu, but I don't know that Lu is better than Su" (Ou Bei Shi Hua). Generally speaking, especially from the perspective of reflecting the depth and breadth of the times, Lu You was indeed the most outstanding poet in the Song Dynasty. According to Ji Gu Ge's Complete Edition, Lu You's works include: 85 volumes of poetry anthology of Jiannan, 50 volumes of anthology of Weinan (including 2 volumes of Ci and 6 volumes of Ru Shu Ji), 2 volumes of Yi Manuscripts, Southern Tang Book 18 volumes, and Old Notes. There are other books, such as Family Instructions of Shi Weng (in the series I don't know if it is enough) and Old Home News. On 1976, Zhonghua Book Company printed five volumes of Lu, with Confucius' Collected Works of Lu Youyi attached.
