The article discusses the differences between Ruan Yuan's and Xiao Tong's views on the meaning of "Chensi hanzao". Ruan Yuan believed it was the standard for selecting works in Wenxuan, while Xiao Tong's original meaning was different. In reality, "Chensi hanzao" explains why a certain type of literary criticism is included in the book, rather than being a general selection rule. Ruan Yuan preferred rhythmic prose over ancient Chinese prose from the Tongcheng school.
