Known as the＂Ancestor of Yisheng family in Song Dynasty＂,Yan Shu was famous for his poems and Ci, but he was also a highly controversial figure. He was both recognized for his polished and graceful artistic style and denied his decadent idea of sentimentality and carpe diem. In terms of ideological content,elegance is not entirely absent from Yan＇s work in which there is tremendous appeal in his poems like＂Wandering alone on the fragrant path of Small Park＂. This kind of expression originates from his life philosophy of ＂Dealing gently＂ and ＂Content is happiness＂ which he had pursued all his life. But this harmony is full of contradictions and conflicts ;as a result,he usually hesitated in action, with insufficient elegance reflected in his work.%被誉为“北宋倚声家初祖”的晏殊，以诗闻名，以词行世，但历来褒贬俱存，或肯定其珠圆玉润、雍容华贵的艺术造诣，或否定其富贵闲愁、及时行乐的颓废思想。就思想内容而论，晏殊诗词其风雅精神也并非完全缺席，其中“小园香径独徘徊”等言语极具张力，这种幽约的风雅表达源于其一生所奉行的以柔克刚、知足常乐的人生哲学，但这种圆融之中又充满着复杂的矛盾冲突，于是他在行动上就常表现为跋前踬后，在艺术上则仿佛风雅不作。
