Abstract:Chen Shidao hurled harsh criticism at Wang Anshi regarding his character and academic achievement and totally denied his poetry creation. His creation theory which elevated simple over artful, humble over pretentious, rough over feeble, and secluded over tacky mostly targeted Wang Anshi. On the one hand, his poetry creation followed Wang Anshi in using the techniques of bi and xing (originated in the Book of Songs), while denounced the technique of fu, which was straightforward and used by Han Yu school (introducing expression techniques of prose in poetry creation). This is the core principle of his poetry creation. On the other hand, he learned from Huang Tingjian and worked out an approach to studying Du Fu, using empty words to enrich artistic flavor but not writing about beautiful natural scenery. At the same time, he followed Zeng Gong in prose writing, learned a simple style and finally developed his own style, which is plain but powerful and simple yet rich. Whether in creation theory or writing practice, Chen Shidao chose the opposite of Wang Anshi to develop his unique style. His special acceptance of Wang Anshi is the result of the combination of the internal strife of political groups in the Northern Song Dynasty and Chen Shidao's family background, thought and disposition, and his interaction with his teachers and friends. Many poets of Jiangxi Poetry School in the Song Dynasty were deeply influenced by Wang Anshi's poetry creation. Chen Shidao rejected Wang Anshi and chose to go against him in poetry creation, providing more space for the diverse development of the Jiang Xi School of poetry. The connection between Chen Shidao and Wang Anshi in poetry creation is not only related to the continuity of Tang and Song poetry, but also reflects the internal mechanism of the development and evolution of Song poetry.
