元儒陈栎在《吴端翁诗跋》一文中说:“时文盛而诗绝响,迨科举停而诗复兴。”而张纯愚在写给陈栎的信中也说:“爰自科举废,士以诗为习。”二人颇为相似的看法其实都指出了元初士风的一个重要特点,即入元以来,由于科举不行,知识分子处境尴尬,诗歌成为他们抒发性情与针砭社会的重要工具,这种状况在南人儒士中表现得最为明显。 In the essay “Wu Duan Weng Po Postscript”, Yuan Ru said: “When the text is full and the poetry is noisy, the imperial examination stops and the poet rejuvenates.” And Zhang Chunyu also wrote in his letter to Chen Qiu: “From the Imperial Examination Waste, and scholars to poetry. ”" The two quite similar views actually pointed out that one of the most important characteristics of the monk’s style was that since the entrance examination, the imperial examination failed and the intellectuals were in an awkward position. As a result, poetry became their expression of temperament It is an important tool in the society that is most evident in Confucian scholars in the South.
