Brief introduction of Dian Lun Wen;

Essays on Canon is selected from Selected Works of Zhaoming written by Xiao Tong, the eldest son of Liang Wudi in the Southern Dynasties. It was written by Cao Pi, the founding emperor of Cao Wei in the Three Kingdoms period. Dian Lun was carefully written by Cao Pi when he was the king of Wei, and it is the most complete one.

This paper points out the similarities and differences between the styles of the original and the final draft, holds that "there are few excellent works because of inconsistent writing" and opposes "each has its own strengths and one is weak" He also made a concise and pertinent evaluation of the writers at that time, clarified the basic characteristics of various styles, and put forward the theory of "writing is based on qi".

Creative background:

Before Jian 'an, literature was bound by Confucian classics and had almost no independent status. In the heyday of Han Fu, Cao Zhi, the younger brother of Cao Pi, was denounced by Yang Xiong as a "teenager carved by insects". Cao Zhi also thought: "The way of Ci Fu is not enough to promote righteousness and show the afterlife." This has begun to link writing articles with thinking about the self-worth of individual life.

Based on this, Cao Pi called on writers to follow the example of the ancient sages who "don't care about the world, keep quiet and don't think about recreation", and strive to change the current mental state of "being poor is afraid of cold and hunger, while being rich is greedy for pleasure", and cultivate one's morality with a super-utilitarian aesthetic mentality. But here, Cao Pi endowed the language symbol "immortality" with brand-new practical and historical significance.

Appreciation of works:

Theoretical concept:

It can be seen that "literature is based on qigong" is a theoretical conception to examine the style characteristics of literary works with the writer's personality temperament as the biggest reference system. This style based on creative personality is related to social psychology, customs, teacher-student relationship and contradictions of the times.

However, judging from what he said, "As for uneven bleeding, it is wonderful, although fathers and brothers can't pass on their children", it seems to emphasize the innate endowment in personal qualities as its main aspect, so it can't be changed by "strength" the day after tomorrow.

Article type:

"End" refers to the genre of the article, and the difference of the genre lies in "elegance of play, principle of book, truth of inscription and beauty of poem". This is? Cao Pi's accurate theoretical summary of grasping genre characteristic art. The elegance, reason, truth and beauty he said all refer to the specific requirements of the article genre and the artistic recognition brought to readers.
