What is the central point made in The Words on Earth

What is the core viewpoint of "Words on Earth"?

There is no significant difference between The Words of Humanity and the style and format of Chinese poems and dictionaries, which have been passed down for a long time. In fact, it has already developed a theoretical system, which is one of the most important works among the old poems and dictionaries. Even in the past, many people took it as a guideline in the world of lyric theory, and took its arguments as the basis of lexicography and aesthetics, which had a far-reaching influence. Wang Guowei's "Words on Earth" is one of the most influential works since the late Qing Dynasty.

Worldly Writings differed from the influential writings of the time in that it put forward the theory of "realm".

The "realm" theory is the core of "Words on Earth", leading the other arguments, and it is also the vein of the whole book, communicating all the claims.

Wang Guowei not only regarded it as a principle of creation, but also took it as a criterion of criticism, judging the evolution of poetry and lyrics, evaluating the success or failure of the lyricists, the merits of their works, and the quality of their words, all from the "realm". Therefore, "realm" is both the starting point of Wang Guowei's literary criticism and the general destination of his literary thought.

The Qing School of Words was mainly composed of the Zhejiang School and the Changzhou School. The Zhejiang school of words is committed to correcting the late Ming dynasty word flow pedantic and obscene Man's fault, advocating the clear spirit, learning from the Southern Song dynasty Jiang Kui, Zhang Yan's words, unwilling to approach the Northern Song dynasty words, not the teacher of the Qin Guan, Huang Tingjian, only to learn from the Zhang Yan, and its flow of concealment lies in the main clear and empty flow of the flimsy, the Lord of the soft and flowing in the delicate.

So the Changzhou school of words rose to correct the Zhejiang school of ills, advocating the deep beauty of the MA-teak, calm and mellow, to the intention of this, play the intention of the purpose of the words outside, advocating that there should be a support, and Zhou Bangyan and contempt for Jiang Kui, Zhang Yan. This does make the word theory a big step forward.
