The former wasnot only thinking Ci should be nearly vulgar of view in the process performance but alsoin the creation of practice had secularization works published. But the latter, especiallywhen he experienced the huge country perish change, he showed the obvious Chong YaShang Ya trend, and Chen Zilong also showed a different attitude from thepre-Aesthetic.
