Being a teach official and teaching in Linjiang academy, He engaged in the educational undertaking mainly in all his life. At the leisure, Su had being keen on poetry creation for whole life. Now there are about 617 poems collected named " assemble benefit room collection of poems " for us to read.Being influenced by " romantic charm theory" and " formal personality theory " in Qing Dynasty , Su's poems appear freshly and gracefully, being regarded as " Suiyuan ( éšå› ) ". The subject of his poems is more extensive, the style is changeable, the language is condensed, which send strong scholarliness and occupy important position in "Pingle group(å¹³ä¹è¯—æ´¾)" .Since Su Yu-Po inherited the education idea of the ancient holy sage of the past, paying attention to school construction, advocating education actively, he had trained a group of the juniors for the hometown. But compared with the successful poets at the same time in Guangxi, Su's poems had the shortcoming of not reflecting society deeply. In any case , studying Su and his poems would have actual meanings to fill in the gaps in the fields of Guangxi literature study to Qing Dynasty. |
