Abstract：Yuan Haowen＇s criticism of the Song poetry focuses on its deviation from the true Ode style while Yan Yu＇s on its want of special ability and interests. To countermeasure the Jiangxi School＇s argument of borrowing from the ancients in writing poems,Yuan suggests that poets broaden their ken and represent real scenes and feelings whereas Yan stresses ＂interest＂ and calls for learning from the Tang poetry. While Yuan＇s preference to the poetry is not restrained by time and content so that he is for Wang Anshi＇s choice of the Middle and Late Tang poets in his Selection of One Hundred Tang Poets＇ Works,Yan stresses the division of time and attaches most importance to the poetry of the prime time of the Tang Dynasty that his emphasis on content justifies his discontent with Wang＇s selection and Han Yu＇s poetry.
