Extended data:
Wang Anshi is not only an outstanding politician, thinker, but also an outstanding writer. In order to realize his political ideal, he closely linked literary creation with political activities, emphasizing that the role of literature first lies in serving the society, emphasizing the practical function and social effect of articles, and advocating the unity of literature and Taoism.
His essays generally carry out his literary thoughts, and most of his works are enlightening and suitable for the world by decree. He opposed the vague and weak style of writing of Yang Yi and Liu Yun of Kunxi School, and his works revealed many malpractices and reflected social contradictions, which had a strong political color. Linchuan Collection, Linchuan Collection, Mr. Linchuan's Songs and Mr. Linchuan's Collected Works are now preserved.
From the literary point of view, Wang Anshi's works have made outstanding achievements in poetry, prose and ci. The poetry innovation movement in the mid-Northern Song Dynasty was vigorously promoted by him, which contributed to sweeping away the glitz and splendor that was all the rage in the early Song Dynasty. However, Wang Anshi's literary thought overemphasizes "practicality" and often underestimates the role of art forms.
Many of his poems often show that the elements of argument and reasoning are too heavy, thin and stiff, and lack image and charm. There are some poems that are obscure and dry, but they are also a star in the history of China's poetry.
