About This Novel
Ouyang Xiu (1007-1072), courtesy name Yongshu, nicknamed Zuiweng, and late Liuyi Jushi, was a native of Yongfeng, Jizhou (now part of Jiangxi). Ouyang Xiu was the leader of the literary world in the Northern Song Dynasty and a representative figure of the classical prose movement in the Tang and Song Dynasties. He made outstanding achievements in the creation of literature, poetry and lyrics. Ouyang Xiu's poetry styles are diverse, but the overall expression is the tendency of "using text as poetry". He admired the poetry of Han Yu in the Tang Dynasty, and in his own practice, he also had Han Yu's style of "argument as poetry". Compared with his poems, Ouyang Xiu's lyrics appear romantic and subtle. Compared with the poets of the previous generation, his lyrics are clear and bright, his language is affectionate and deeply artistic, and he is highly praised by later generations of poets. Ouyang Xiu's poems can be said to be the "two sides" of Ouyang Xiu. Only by looking at the poems together can we know Ouyang Xiu as a person. Now we select the essence of Ouyang Xiu's poems, annotate and analyze them, and present the "two sides" of Ouyang Xiu to readers, hoping to help readers better understand Ouyang Xiu as a person and his poems.
