It is next to impossible at this distance to fix the date of the compilation of the Prefaces to Tao-Yuan-Ming-Ji (陶淵明集) and Wen-Xuau (文選). It seems highly probable, however, that the Prince wrote them sometime in his twenties. They werc all written by himself and his courtiers had nothing to do with them. It is reasoably assumed that his gentle character, his love of nature and his intimate acquaintance with Confucianism are well reflected in Wen-xuan. All well-known poems in Shi-Pin (詩品) are represented there, but it is not influenced by Wen-xin-Diao-Long (文心彫龍). It contains some of those interary criticisms which teh prince was reading then, and he seems to have been under the influence of Yi-Jing (易経), the preface to Shi-jing (詩経) and Lun-Yu (論語). The prince set a particular value on a writer's humanity, as is the case of Tao-Yuan-Ming. He is rather conservative in his literary theory, while at the same time he does produce a number of new ideas. The prince is simply silent on the Buddhistic aspect and musical quality of literature then much in vogue.
