The content of most of Yan Shu's "Pearl and Jade Words" is:It depicts the lovesickness, love and parting hatred between men and women。For example, "Endless is sorrow, and the ends of the world are searching";"Ruthlessness is not as bitter as passionate. An inch is still tens of millions of wisps. When there is poverty at the end of the world, there is only endless lovesickness". However, Yan Shu's words to write about the love between men and women have filtered the impurities of frivolity and glamour contained in the words of "between flowers" in the five generationsIt looks pure and elegant。He often omits the depiction of women's appearance and hue, and focuses on the love affair of the lyrical protagonist. The emotional tone of his words is graceful and gentle, and the faint sorrow sometimes reveals a self-liberating bearing;The language also washes the fat powder and bright colors of the word "between the flowers" of the five generations, andIt becomes beautiful and elegant, warm and delicate
Liu Fang of the Northern Song Dynasty said in "Zhongshan Poems": "Yan Yuan is especially happy with Feng Yansi in the south of the Yangtze River. What he does is not detracted. ”
While expressing "erotic feelings" and "leisure feelings", Feng Yansi occasionally reveals the consciousness of "how much life is worth", which is a limited life. Yan Shu often expresses worries about life。As the prime minister of Taiping, Yan Shu, although he was a young man, had a smooth career in his life, and enjoyed all his wealth, his leisurely life and sentimental personality made him often reflect and understand life. He realized a kind of imperfection from the perfect life, that is, he wanted to prolong this perfect life and suffered from the shortness of life, so he repeatedly expressed in the words "carefully calculate the floating life, long in the spring dream for a long time" and "the time is like the sound of water, and the journey has not stopped". And the limited worries of this life are often mixed with the lack of love. The two kinds of anguish reflect each other, deepening the concentration of emotions in the words, and this constitutes the Yan Shu word "thinking in love", that is, the characteristics of rational contemplation permeated in the deep feelings.
Yan Shu's masterpiece "Huanxi Sand" can best represent this characteristic, and it contains a strong sense of time and life in the surface image of the sad spring and the nostalgia of people. The two images of "sunset" and "falling flowers" symbolize the passage of time and the loss of love, reflecting the author's contemplation and understanding of the urgency of time and the limitation of life.
Yan Shu's age is relatively early, and his political status is prominent, Ouyang Xiu and other famous poets are either out of his door or his staff, so he is promoted by later generations as "the first ancestor of the Northern Song Dynasty Yisheng family".
