Literary achievements

Liu Ji was an important master of poetry and prose in Dingge period between Yuan and Ming Dynasties. His theory of poetry and prose advocates satire, attaching importance to reason rather than spirit, and attaching importance to the style of the times.

Liu Ji also played a leading role in the prosperity of satirical sketches in the late Ming Dynasty, and attached importance to the dynamic role of literature in society. His literary thought of practical application played a pioneering role in sweeping away the delicate style of the literary world in the Yuan Dynasty and inspiring the new style of writing in the early Ming Dynasty.

Liu Ji's theory of politics with poetry embodies the author's strong sense of participating in politics and critical spirit. The scope of his discussion includes various social abuses such as bureaucracy, military and political affairs from Yuan Dynasty to Mindfulness.

Judging from the origin of poetry, it objectively inherits the tradition of "taking discussion as poetry" of Song people, but subjectively it is due to its inherent literary concept of practical use. Poetry is both emotional and rational, with both social cognitive value and artistic aesthetic value.
