The development of ci fu in Han dynasty;

Jia Yi was an important writer of Ci and Fu in his early days. His representative works include Qu Yuan Fu and Pengniao Fu. Both poems have the word Xi, and the trace of the transformation from Chu Ci to Ci Fu is very obvious and lyrical, so it is called "Sao Style Fu". In the period of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Da Fu appeared, and Mei Cheng's Qi Fa was the symbol of the formation of Da Fu in the Han Dynasty.

The structural characteristics of Da Fu are the question and answer between subject and object, restraining the object and extending the subject. There is a slight irony at the end of the article. The actual effect is "telling a hundred satires". The representative writer of Dafu is Sima Xiangru, whose masterpieces include Zi Xu and Shang Lin. The great wealth is magnificent, the language is flamboyant and the spirit is magnificent, which shows the majestic momentum of the Han Dynasty.
