Description

In the Six dynasties (六朝) and Liao (梁) dynasty, the acknowledgement became so popular to show the appreciation when present was sent. This kind of acknowledgement style is the typical pian-wen (駢文) that used paralle phrase and reference. However the writers didn't aim at expressing the characters of them. They used formed style to show how fine the gift they got is and the honor ther felt when they received the gift. In the circunstance of their noble salon, yong-wu-shi (詠物詩) was so fame as literary work as well as acknowledgement was so representative of salon literature. Comparing with the narrative style of yong-wu-shi, the acknowledgement is the epic style working that praised the present and the relevant behavior. Firstly writers didn't show us how glad they felt after accepting gifts and reason why they were sent. Afterward the trend was shift to show they them gladness and reasons. The change of situation was thought to be linked to the collapse of the noble salon of 六朝. It can be said that the acknowledgement of Six dynastie was the special literature style created in that period.
