Argumentative writing is sharp and logical, and feudalism is the most representative. Fables are often used to satirize the disadvantages of the times, with rich imagination, profound meaning and sharp words. The Three Commandments is his famous satirical sketch. Biographical prose is mostly based on real people and stories, with a little exaggeration and fiction. The Story of the Snake Catcher, Biography of Children's Area and The Story of Duan Taiwei are representative works of this type.
Liu Wenzhong's travel notes about mountains and rivers are the most popular. They developed into an independent literary genre in the hands of Liu Zongyuan, and Liu Zongyuan was therefore called the "ancestor of travel notes". The famous masterpiece of Liu Zongyuan's landscape travel notes is Eight Records of Yongzhou. This "Eight Notes" is not a simple description of the scenery, but often expresses distant significance in the scenery, expressing all kinds of injustice in the chest, so that the landscape also has a human character.
Liu Zongyuan's prose language is concise and vivid, and he often uses the methods of combining reality with reality and narrative discussion to make the article interesting. In addition, Liu Wen uses short sentences more, and his rhythm is lively and changeable, which is caused by his study of parallel prose.
