Main works

Yin Zhu likes to talk about military affairs all his life. His works Xuyan, Xishu and Bingzhi all talk about military affairs and the situation of Xixia. There are both historical and practical experiences, not empty talk. He was also good at historiography, and Ouyang Xiu had discussed with him the revision of historical records of the Five Dynasties. There are still two volumes of the spring and Autumn Annals of the Five Dynasties in this collection.

After Liu Kai and Mu Xiu, Yin Zhu advocated ancient prose and opposed the style of writing. His works, such as Xi Shu, min Zhong, Bian framed, tui Shuo, Zhi Gu Tang Ji, Fu Tu Mi Yan Shi Ji Xu and Lun Peng Dang Shu, are simple and orderly. It is said that Ouyang Xiu was influenced by Yin Zhu when he studied ancient Chinese Prose (Volume 15 of Shao's Wen Jian Lu). Yin Zhu respected Mencius and Han Yu. He said that the article should be "to seek the ancient way". However, although he respected Han Yu, he did not exclude Buddhism. In the preface to sending Li Shi to ban, it is said that Li Jun is "happy with the Buddha's theory" and "it's not just taking his so-called reward and giving cause and effect, but enjoying his fraternity". He thinks that the fraternity of Buddha is similar to Mencius' benevolence and righteousness. He also praised the secret performance of "showing off one's clothes while learning one's heart".

The collected works of Mr. Henan has a copy of Yingchun cenge in Sibu series.

Character thought

Yin Zhu respected Mencius and Han Yu in his essays, and he said that for essays, we should "seek the ancient way.". Ouyang Xiu said that "learning from Lu is an article, simple but legal", "right and wrong, be sure to do their truth, be meticulous and follow rashly", and Fan Zhongyan also said that "his writing is cautious and strict, and his words are concise and reasonable". However, Yin Zhu's multi chapter preface is generally simple and uneducated, and his achievement is not high. Although Yin Zhu respected Han Yu, he did not exclude the Buddha. In the preface to the ban on sending Li Shi, he said that Li Jun was "happy with the Buddha's theory" and "it was only to take his so-called karma and enjoy his fraternity". He is the author of the two volumes of Mr. Henan's anthology and the spring and Autumn Annals of the Five Dynasties.

Anecdotes and allusions

Fan Zhongyan once wrote epitaphs for others. When he finished writing and was about to send them, he suddenly thought, "I can't help but show Yin Zhu this article." The next day, he handed over the epitaph to Yin Zhu. After reading it, Yin Zhu said, "your article has become very famous. Future generations will take your article as an example, so you can't be careless. Now you write the title of "Zhuangshi" as a censor and "Zhizhou" as a prefect (the official name of the Han Dynasty). Although it is a kind of elegant and ancient saying, there is no such official title now, and the future generations will inevitably have doubts. This is the reason why vulgar scholars have been arguing endlessly. "

After hearing this, Fan Zhongyan said with a deep sigh: "thank you for watching it, otherwise, I would almost make a mistake."
