The literary style of the Qi Dynasty and the Liang Dynasty, influenced by the successive waves led by figures like the Last Ruler of the Chen Dynasty (Chen Shubao) and Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty (Yang Guang), became increasingly decadent. However, it catered to the taste of the ruling elite, and thus even emperors as bold and visionary as Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty (Li Shimin) could not escape the influence of this literary style. In the early Tang Dynasty, the noble literati, Shangguan Yi, summarized the creative experiences of the Six Dynasties and proposed the concept of “the six kinds of parallelism” (such as the parallelism of “heaven” with “earth” in terms of “proper naming”) and “the eight kinds of parallelism” (such as the parallelism of “sending wine to the southeast” with “welcoming qin from the northwest”) to formalize the use of parallelism. Works written in accordance with this style were known as the “Shangguan style.” For further details, refer to Volume 7 in Wei Qingzhi’s Fragments of Jade from Poets, which cited Poetry Garden Genre.
