On "and Xiangdong Wang Paper Book And The Palace Of Literary Theory,

"A Letter about The Discuss of Literature with Xiang Dongwang" was written in the 6 to 8 year of Da long era(AD 541-543). This letter criticize the popular three literature styles in that times. Among them, the style about Capital was focused on reasoning, lacking of emotions and feelings. The style of Stimulating Xie Lingyun was long and dull, disorder in the image. The style of Stimulating Pei Ziye, comparatively speaking, was antiqued and honest in expressing his emotion. But, the discrimination among three styles was not strictly defined. The true purpose of this letter was advocating the style of Gong Ti Poem. Based on the concerning comments on this issue, we can see the literature theory about Gong Ti poem can be shown in the four aspects, as it follows: the dependence view that separate writing from education; the utilization theory that writhing was entertaining oneself instead of civilizing the public. The creation theory that the poem writing can be derived from some scenes to express one's open mind. The standard theory emphasizes colorful wording, consonant lyrics, and strong emotion surging. It is Gong Ti Poem that inherited the essence of Jian An (AD 196-220) Literature. But, restrained by times, Gong Ti Poem finally was led to the literature trap featured by the flamboyant wording and lustful desire.
