Here I want to follow the integrated academic viewpoints, that is,"the Rugao eight years"refers to such eight years which last from the Shunzhi 14 years to the Kangxi four years, when chenweisong live in Shui Huiyuan in RUGAO,maoxiang. But at the same time, we must realized that one kind of literary style's transition is slow, and often affected by the development of the poet's changing life values.that is to say,we must hold a elastic conception towards time,because the creation process will not definitely go on or stop suddenly with the poet arrive or leave some place at once.

The second part is the development of the first.compare with chenweisong's former style,Interprete"The Rugao eight years"literary style as: passionate, elegance , spirited and gloomy.Chenweisong enjoyed a wealthy and comfortable life in his earlier times,his earlier literary style forms in the prosperous family, which is so different from the later period.but it is the difference determined his transition of subsequent writing style, maybe we can name this kind of transition as future guideline.Ruined family along with the country changes, lives in a strange place , for Chen Weisong ,"Rugao eight years"is not only the subtle change of literary style but also the mood from optimistic to depression. This kind of transition is a dynamic existence, not irrevocable.The conclusion part summarized the relationship between Chen Weisong′s style transition and the literary arena of SHUNZHI &KANGXI times.We could neither cut off the space or time in viewing a writer′s literary style transition nor in a angle of patternizing and fossilization . only in a historical and developed point of view ,can we get the best understand of the conception that a writer always persisted .
