Representative political papers: Jia Yi's On Qin, Strategies for Public Security, Storing and Sparing, Huan Kuan's Salt and Iron, and Chao Cuo's Rare Millet. The representative work of epistolary prose: Sima Qian's Fu on Bao Ren is the most distinctive style in the Han Dynasty, and most writers in the Han Dynasty are devoted to the creation of this style, and Fu can be said to be the representative of Han Dynasty literature.
Fu appeared as early as the Warring States period, and Xunzi should be the first to write Fu. According to Hanshu, Xunzi wrote 10, and there are five existing poems, including Li, Zhi and Yun. Fu writers in the early Western Han Dynasty inherited the style of Chu Ci and created Sao Fu. The most successful ones should be Jia Yi and Mei Cheng. Four of Jia Yi's works are well preserved, the most representative of which are "Ode to Diaoqu Yuan" and "Ode to Pengniao".
"Mourning" is to express inner indignation by mourning Qu Yuan. The work expresses the true feelings of one's lack of talent, and adds new content to Sao Style Fu. "Pengniao Fu" is an article based on the assumption of dialogue with Pengniao, focusing on how to solve their worries with Lao Zi and Zhuang Zi's thoughts, which is very representative of that era.
Mei Cheng is another famous lyricist after Jia Yi. His work "Seven Hairs", which has been handed down to this day, expresses feelings with exquisite exaggeration, with magnificent structure and extraordinary momentum. Its appearance marks the formal formation of three-body doctors in Han Dynasty. From the early Western Han Dynasty to the middle Eastern Han Dynasty, it was the peak of the development of Han Fu. The History of Han Literature and Art records more than 900 pieces of Han Fu with more than 60 authors.
Sima Xiangru is the founder and the most accomplished writer of Da Fu in Han Dynasty. Zi Xu and Shang Lin in Selected Works are his representative works. Other writers in this period include Dong Fangshuo, Gao Mei, Wang Bo and others. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the ideological content and system of Han Fu began to change. The representative figure of this period is Zhang Heng. His most representative works are Erjing Fu and Guitian Fu.
