His loyalty to the imperial court showed in several political events reflected his deep confucianism. However, we could not ignore his Buddhist thought, There was deep Buddhist concept showed in his works. Under the historical background of north-south integration, Wen Zisheng was also affected inevitably by southern literature, but we should note that: the thought -"pingqimin" was also greatly affected on his own creative identity.Chapter II: Study on the prose of Wen Zisheng.
