Abstract
Scholars have been discussing the connection between "Wen Bi" theory and its function in the division of literary genres. The book Wenjing Mifu Lun emphasizes the harmony but does not require end rhyme. "Wen Bi" theory is closely linked to the parallel prose according to taboos of "Bi", and thus they share popularity in the Southern Dynasties and decline in Tang Dynasty. We can also conclude from this fact that there is study of rhythm in the Southern Dynasties, which, however, was not sufficient to prove that there was the idea of "pure literature" at that time.
