Abstract
The Feng brothers of Haiyu are important figures of the Yushan School of poets, and have been regarded as the backbone of those who opposed of the retro-poetics in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. But few people have discovered the relationship between the Feng brothers and the retro school. This is not conducive to understanding their true poetics, and not conducive to clarifying the actual trajectory of poetry evolution from the Ming to the Qing. And this affects the correct understanding and evaluation of the status and the role of the Yushan School of poets. A comparative analyses of the poetic Origin of the Feng brothers from home influence and discipleship may enable us to conclude that the Feng brothers' poetics, influenced by the poetics of the late Tang and even the Qi and the Liang, values bi and xing, rhetoric, and moderation, which reveals the influence from their father and their tutor Qian Qianyi. This is to some extent an inner transcendence over and development of the "style and tone" of the "Qi Zi" (the seven men of letters) School.
