He advocated a change from the prevailing 'parallel prose' style of his day in favor of a more organic prose structure. He is best remembered for condemning aspects of Buddhism and Taoism that conflicted with Confucian values in his Jian ying Fogu biao for which he was exiled to Chaozhou in the south. His best known poems include Nanshan shi (Southern Mountains) and Qiu huai (Autumn Meditations). Amongst, his prose works his preface to Meng Dongye's farewell, Song Meng Dongye Xu, which we find beautifully inscribed around our brushpot, is an exploration of the tradition of poetry.Qingyutang (Hall of Abundant Blessings) as a hall name designation appears to have been a popular one and it appears on ceramics from the Kangxi era through the Republic period. In this example it probably refers to a private hall (whereabouts unknown) from the Kangxi reign (1662-1722) for which this brushpot was destined.
