literati showed their individuality and pursued themselves.At that time,the poet focused on portraying the urban landscape,entertainment and literati gatherings to demonstrate the abundance of material life in the capital and presenting the prosperous ideological culture of the capital city life.The capital city can not only show the pompous atmosphere,but also reflect the ever-changing

aesthetic atmosphere of "li".In the process of creation,in order to make the poem colorful and splendid,the poet paid close attention to language and rhetorical techniques,paid attention to refining the characters and made good use of the duality;expatiation was used to expand the scope of description and increase the intensity of the expression of poetry;and images and atmospheres were highlighted to show the gorgeous style of poetry and further intensify the expression of poetry,resulting in the reflection of the prosperity of the capital.From the artistic form and aesthetic pursuit of poetry in the Wei and Jin dynasty,we can see the capital atmosphere and the life mood behind it through the literary images in an era when life is free.The conclusion part summarizes the main content of this paper.
