The decline of the eight generations of Wenqi, not to mention the eight generations, is the Han Dyna

The Eight Dynasties refer to the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Wei Dynasty, the Jin Dynasty, the Song Dynasty, the Qi Dynasty, the Liang Dynasty, the Chen Dynasty, and the Sui Dynasty. "The drowning of the world" refers to his article focusing on people's livelihood and reality, and has the same feelings as Du Fu who worries about the country and the people. "The anger of the loyal offender" refers to Han Yu's courage to speak out and admonish the monarch, such as his book "On the Buddha's Bone Table" (also known as "Admonition to the Buddha's Bone Table"), opposing the emperor's superstitious Buddhism and being demoted to Chaozhou, and then wrote the famous poem "Left to Languan to show his nephew Sun Xiang" ("Where is the family in the clouds and Qinling, and the snow hugs the Languan and does not move forward").

"The commander of the three armies" has a history. After the Anshi Rebellion in the Tang Dynasty, the vitality of the Tang Dynasty was greatly lost, and the warlords were not able to lose their tails, and there were feudal towns everywhere. That year, the Zhenzhou army rebelled and killed the commander, and Emperor Tang Muzong could not send troops to conquer, so he had to send Han Yu to persuade them.

Xiucai, who was unable to restrain the chicken, had no troops to protect him, and went deep into the thief camp alone, everyone was worried about him, but this Xiucai used strategy to convince these generals and make them return to the court. This means that Han Yu is much better than the soldiers.

If you think of it from a political and philosophical point of view, Han Yu actually can't afford it, but if you argue from a literary point of view, Han Yu is well-deserved to praise the "decline of the eight generations of literature".

Each generation has its own aesthetic taste, this should be combined with the characteristics of the times, Sima Xiangru's Fu is not an innovation in the articles that were used as a tool for scriptures at that time, and if you don't understand it, it doesn't mean that people don't write well, (although I also think he sometimes makes me very entangled), Cao Zhi's exquisite and elegant articles can't be said to be decaying, the main thing is that he has his own style and bones, which is the same as Han Yu's qi, Su Shi criticized the trend of the overall eight generations of punwen, Among the many people who write prose, there are not many who write well like Cao Zhi.

The meaning of this sentence is: the style of writing advocated by Han Wengong has revitalized the style of writing that has been decayed for eight dynasties from the Eastern Han Dynasty to the Sui Dynasty, the Confucian Taoism he advocated saved the hearts of the people in the world who were addicted to the ideas of the Buddha, his loyalty offended the emperor and made him angry, and his wisdom and courage prevailed over the commanders of the three armies.

From Su Shi's "Chaozhou Hanwen Gongmiao Tablet".

Excerpt from the original text: The decline of the eight generations of the text, and the drowning of the world, the wrath of the loyal prisoner, and the courage to win the commander of the three armies. Isn't this the one who towers to the heavens and the earth, the prosperity and decline, and the vast and the only one who survives?

Translation: His literary sales letter has revitalized the decaying literary style of the past eight generations, his preaching of Confucianism and Taoism has saved the people of the world from indulgence, his loyalty has offended the emperor's anger, and his courage can impress the commanders of the three armies: isn't this juxtaposed with the cultivation of all things by heaven and earth, related to the rise and fall of the country, and the righteousness of the vast and independent existence?
