Ge Hong's literary thought was deeply influenced by Wang Chong and Lu Ji and developed. He asked the article to play a social role, change customs and satirize mistakes. People think that "speakers are more expensive than teaching assistants, but not as high as collecting occasional customs" (Ying Chao). He opposes the value of ancient times and the inferiority of modern people, and thinks that modern people are superior to ancient times, pointing out that "the collection of political affairs is not as rich and beautiful as modern masterpieces." However, it is not as beautiful as Shanglin, fishing and hunting, Erjing and Sandu. Fu Bo also "("Shi Jun "). He believes that the literary atmosphere should go with the times, pointing out that "everything in ancient times is mellow, and now it is necessary to carve and modify it, and the times will move naturally" (Shi Jun). Ge Hong advocates that literary creation should be decorated with words, and that both morality and literature should be paid equal attention. He said: "The article is as good as virtue, as good as ten feet, as good as ten feet, which means I have never heard of it." He further put forward the argument that "you don't have to be expensive, but you don't have to be ignorant" (Shang Bo), thus breaking through the ideological barriers of Confucianism at the end of this article.
