In the early Ming Dynasty, Yang Shiqi, Yang Rong, and Yang Pu were assisted by the same dynasty, known in history as the "Three Yangs", of which Yang Shiqi was the longest official, the official position was also the highest, the reputation was the largest, and his literary achievements were also the most remarkable. In the literary world, Led by Yang Shiqi, he advocated a graceful and elegant literary style, which was later called "Taige Style". Today, we will enjoy Yang Shiqi's ten poems together, experience the style of "Tai Ge style", I believe you will like it.
Yang Shiqi was born in Jiangxi Province, the mainland, when his father died when he was one year old, his mother remarried a man surnamed Luo, so Yang Shiqi also changed his surname to Luo. Why did he later change back to his original surname? This has to start from a Luo family to pay tribute to the ancestors. Because Luo Shiqi paid tribute to his ancestors, and the young Yang Shiqi made up his own mind to pay tribute to Yang's ancestors, Luo Shi saw that the young Yang Shiqi had such ambitions, and agreed to let him restore the Yang surname.
According to records, Yang Shiqi did not participate in the scientific expedition to enter the shi, he entered Hanlin through the recommendation of the literati Wang Shuying, and began his career as an official eunuch as a cloth. He went through four dynasties, entered the cabinet for more than 40 years, made outstanding political achievements, made remarkable literary achievements, and was a leading figure in the literary circle of that era. He inherited the literary concept of Han Yu and Ouyang Xiu's "Literature to carry the Tao", using poetry as a tool to safeguard the country and embellish the prosperity of Shengping, and the "Taige body" headed by him was popular for a hundred years, so some scholars believe that it is the "originator of the Taige body".
In the "Three Yangs", Yang Shiqi has the most surviving poems, the poetic form is meaningful, the content is the main, the grace is praised, and the style is gentle and generous.

From the perspective of themes, Yang Shiqi's poems are very extensive, including praises to the saints, inscriptions and gifts, writing scenes, farewells and lyrics, etc., all-encompassing, and he is one of the poets who are most widely involved in the literary world.
Of course, poets will definitely reflect the background of the times in the creative process, and the "Taige style" literature also has a distinct influence of the times. When Yang Shiqi entered the army, it was the era of economic prosperity of the Ming Dynasty, the four seas were stable, and as a courtier, the status of the government and the opposition at that time was relatively high, so he was favored by the emperor, and the poetry did not lack the meaning of singing merit and praise. Moreover, in the early Ming Dynasty, the literati wanted to establish a literature unique to the Ming Dynasty, just as the Tang Dynasty was known for poetry, and the Song Dynasty was proud of words, so the "Taige style" literature came into being.
Yang Shiqi is very good at making poems, he uses poetry to praise the emperor's kindness, sing the praises of the times, depict the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty, exude the atmosphere of wealth and leisure, and reflect the poet's optimistic mentality, so this kind of poetry reflects the grand characteristics. Moreover, without whitewashed poetry, Yang Shiqi's poems can also illustrate the harmonious relationship between Yang Shiqi and successive monarchs.
There are 1500 social entertainment poems in existence, of which 75% are such poems, of which the gift of parting poems is sincere, can sincerely persuade future generations, and is written with great philosophical rationality and motivation. Singing and poetry show the poet's joy at seeing his friends, but also has the meaning of nostalgia, nostalgia for the past of youth, hope to continue to move forward with each other, hand in hand, promote knee-length talk, reflect the elegant side of leisure, but also show that Yang Shiqi's popularity is excellent.
Due to his official status and prestige, Yang Shiqi also wrote many social poems. Although this kind of poetry and artistic interest is roughly the same, to some extent, it can reflect the spiritual life and aesthetics of the scholar class at that time. The artistic style of lyrical poetry is easy and clear, beautiful and elegant, expressing nature and has strong aesthetic implications. The poems are directly lyrical and fluent in language, reflecting the poet's rich emotions and nostalgia. The writing of Jing Yonghuai poems is vivid and graceful, and the scene description is delicate, which outlines a gorgeous landscape painting for the reader.

In a high position and in an era of prosperity, his poems have no sad color, reflecting a sense of elegance, on the one hand, reflecting the background of the times, on the other hand, we can see the ideological feelings and emotions of the literati at that time.
