Bear's "The Eye of Law". "Ask God" said: "Words are also, and the heart is also; Books, heart paintings. Sound painting, gentlemen and villains see it. " This passage contains an important literary theory proposition-writing is like a person. The west has a similar idea. There is a famous saying in Buffon, France: "Style is personality." In most cases, the writer's literary quality and personality are consistent and harmoniously unified in the writer's individual life and creative text. However, there is still a phenomenon in the history of literature, that is, "literature is not as good as people." In this regard, Pan Yue, Ruan Dacheng and Zhou Zuoren are often cited examples.

Ruan Dacheng (no. Yuan Hai), a treacherous court official in the late Ming Dynasty, was attached to the eunuch in Wei Zhongxian in his early years, and he was flattered and attached to Ma Shiying in the southern Ming Dynasty, which was despised by people at that time. Ming history listed him in the biography of courtiers. He is cunning, but there are many imitations of Tao Yuanming in his poems. However, the clear is self-clear, and the turbid is self-turbid. Tao Yuanming's unswerving ambition, clear standards and lofty standards, simple and pure poetic style, and the harmony between literature and people are the best interpretations of "literature is like a man". Ruan Dacheng has no moral integrity and a humble personality, but he tries to make a name for himself to cover up his dirty business, but he can't escape legal sanctions. Mr. Qian Zhongshu hit the nail on the head in Talking about Art. Writing is like a person ":"The sea is difficult for water, indifferent and quiet, and it is natural. When you look at it, you will make faces, your teeth will bend and your whole body will be uneasy. "

Pan Yue, Ruan Dacheng and Zhou Zuoren, who are "less literate than people", ostensibly flaunt indifference and self-esteem, but in their bones they are keen on fame and fortune and petty and humble. If you only listen to what you say and believe what you do, you will often be overlooked. Confucius said it well: "I am a human being, I listen to what he says and watch what he does."
