Abstract

Yuan Haowen in his "Thirty Poems on Poetry" both confirmed Su Shih's poetic achievements and condemned Su's failure. The paper tries to delineate the reasons behind Yuan's problematic condemnations on Su Shi. Yuan's accusation of Su Shi's problems is wrong-targeted because on the one hand he attributed other poets' problem to Su Shi and on the other hand he did not distinguish between literary issues and political issues. The paper also maintains that Yuan had a limited understanding of the ideal content and practical development of "Fengya (airs and odes, the elegant)."
