His poems are vivid and vivid. He is the pioneer of landscape poems before Xie Lingyun. Fan Wenlan thinks that "the poems about mountains and rivers were written by Yu Chan in the early Eastern Jin Dynasty" in Wen Xin Diao Long Ming Shi Zhu. Ding Chengquan also thinks that "from the existing materials, the real founder and pioneer author of mountains and rivers poems should be Yu Chan in the early Eastern Jin Dynasty". His 10 poems about immortals are similar to Guo Pu in style and sentiment. Yu Zhan's Yangdu Fu, which was highly praised by Yu Liang, once led to the expensive paper in Jiankang. However, it was derided by Xie an as a work of "imitating learning", and zhongxingshu called Yangdu Fu "Miao Jue at that time". When he passed Xiangchuan, he wrote the article of mourning Jia Yi, which is a famous piece to express his feelings. In his "conscription poems", there is no word "Zhi" or "Zhong" in the sentence "Zhishi is in danger and loyal officials are in disgrace". Later Sima Yu, the Jianwen emperor, who was promoted by Huan Wen, read the poem, so that he could feel tears in his eyes. When Yutan, the internal history of the state of Wu, erected a tablet for Taibo, Yu Shan also wrote the inscription.

the game of go

In the preface to Fu of go in Quan Jin Wen, Yu Cheng said that "the nature of go is good, but it doesn't reach the purpose of the game. The words and prose are born by touching the class, and the game is dark but poor. How can we understand it as easy as that, and how can it be so difficult?"

personal works

Historical evaluation

Zhongxingshu: "at the age of nine, you can write." Wen Lu: "at that time, there were talented people, such as Fu Tao, Yu Shan, Cao Pi and Li Chong, who were well-known in the world." Fang Xuanling and other scholars wrote in the book of Jin: "1. Cao Pi and Yu Shan were the best in the middle of the rise." (2) zhongchu's works are popular, and promote the scholars. The beauty of Yangdu emphasizes Shiyan in particular (3) Chui method, the palace sign flow sound. Beautiful Qunyan, Yang Rui Hanlin. All are good at jade and all are good at gold. Zi'an, Taichong, Qiu Wenqi rotten. Yuan, Yu, Chong, Kai, Zhao Zao, Xia Huan. They are the people who stand up for each other and surpass the Qing Dynasty altogether. "

anecdote

Praise Wen Yu

Yu Shan wrote Yangdu Fu at the beginning, in which he praised Wen Qiao and Yu Liang, saying: "Wen set up moral principles, and Yu became the object of people's admiration. Compared with its sound, it is as sonorous as the sound of a bronze bell; compared with its moral character, it is as crystal clear as gems. " When Yu Liang heard that the Fu had been written, he asked to have a look at it and hoped to give it to himself. So Yu Chan changed the word "Wang" to "Jun" and the word "Liang" to "run".

unnecessary repetition

Yu zhongchu finished his Yangdu Fu and presented it to Yu Liang. Yu Liang raised the price of this Fu because of his kindred affection, saying that it could be compared with other famous works such as Liangdu Fu, Erjing Fu and Sandu Fu. From then on, everyone scrambled to copy, so the paper price of Kyoto Jiankang also increased. Xie an said: "you can't write like this. It's building a house on top of the house. If you copy others everywhere, you will inevitably have poor content and narrow vision."
