On Liu Zongyuan's Literary Common Sense

There are more than 140 poems by Liu Zongyuan, which is one of the few in the Tang Dynasty, but many of them have been handed down from generation to generation. On the basis of his unique life experience, thoughts and feelings, he drew lessons from the artistic experience of his predecessors, exerted his creative talent, created a unique artistic style, and became an outstanding poet representing one school at that time.

Liu Zongyuan's prose is as famous as Han Yu's, as well as Liu Han, Ouyang Xiu and Su Shi's in the Song Dynasty. He is the most outstanding essayist in the history of China. In the middle Tang Dynasty, Liu Zongyuan and Han Yu initiated and led an ancient prose movement in the literary world. They put forward a series of ideological theories and literary ideas.

In his travels and fables, Liu Zongyuan also left outstanding works for future generations. Eight Chapters of Yongzhou became the representative work of China's ancient landscape travel notes. These beautiful landscape travel notes vividly express people's feelings about natural beauty, enrich the new field of classical prose reflecting life, and thus establish the position of landscape as an independent literary genre in the history of literature.

The law has formulated a set of measures to release handmaiden, stipulating that the person who becomes a handmaiden can convert his salary according to the working hours during his service to creditors.

This move was welcomed by the poor and was later extended to counties outside Liuzhou.
