The background and reasons for the rise
The Chaling poetry school occupies an important position in the history of Literature in China, because the Ming Dynasty has gradually changed from the pioneering and enterprising state of the initial period of the founding of the country to a comfortable and sluggish state, coupled with the luxurious "Taige body" advocated by the upper echelons of society at that time, so the entire social development progress of the Ming Dynasty has gradually begun to shift from external to internal. On the other hand, a new school of poetry is the Chaling poetry school, because the leader and core figure of the poetry school is Li Dongyang, a Hunan Chaling people, so the poetry school is also called the Chaling poetry school. To a certain extent, it can be considered that the Chaling poetry school is a poetry group that emerged in response to the Taige style poetry school, which advocates the sincere expression of feelings, abandons the style of the Taige style of being plain and mellow, humble and trivial, and revives the principles of poetry creation since the Han and Tang Dynasties.
The process of rise and its main representatives
The "Chaling Poetry School" was a poetry and literary group with great influence during the Chenghua and Zhengde years of the Ming Dynasty, and both the influence of poetry and the number of people had a huge influence at that time, and also played a positive role in the purification of social atmosphere.
Due to the limited space of the article, it is not possible to list all the characters one by one, but only to briefly describe some of them among the representative figures.
Li Dongyang, zi binzhi, number Xiya. He was a representative and core figure of the Chaling poetry school, born in a military aristocratic family, good at reading poetry since childhood, and at the age of eight, he entered the Shuntianfu as a child prodigy for systematic study, and began to participate in the compilation of the "Records of Emperor Yingzong" in 1465, after which he was gradually reused by the imperial court, and was repeatedly promoted, and finally Tejin, Guanglu Dafu, Zuo Zhuguo, Shaoshi and Prince Taishi, Shangshu of the Bureaucracy, and Scholar of Huagaiden University. His courtesy name is Wenzheng. Because of his special status and his active influence in the literary world, he played a huge role in improving the style of writing. Li Dongyang advocated retro writing, words from the heart and the master of the text, which also became the principle pursued by the Chaling poetry school.

He Mengchun, born in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, was an upright official, dared to speak out and advise, and boldly put forward personal views on the bad atmosphere and political corruption of the society at that time, reflecting the social responsibility and historical responsibility of traditional Chinese literati. For example, after Emperor Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty succeeded to the throne, he quarreled with the emperor over legal system issues and was demoted. He Mengchun advocated "discussing politics with literature" and wrote "He WenJian And Neglected Discussion" and "Preface to Yu Dong".

The Significance and Influence of the Development of the Chaling School of Poetry
The Chaling poetry school is of great significance in the history of development in China, and its rise began roughly in the Chenghua years, and put forward the idea of "Yi Song Peeping tang" in poetry creation, actively absorbing the beauty of poetry and music in the Han and Tang dynasties, and getting rid of the "rouge vulgar powder" of the Taige style at that time, which was actually a positive response to the Han and Tang style. In this way, the author's true feelings and feelings can be truly expressed, and the feelings and poetry can be revealed, which has played a positive role in promoting the development of Chinese literature since then.
